Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 593: Chapter 353: Disciple of the Seal!

A piece of white silk slid over the edge of the sword.

The sword’s edge, like water, reflected the delicate features of the young girl.

“It’s been too long,”

Xiao Mengyu murmured softly.

“Don’t rush, stay calm, the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself,” Yudelia said.

“Shen Ye is out there all by himself…” Xiao Mengyu gripped the sword handle tightly.

Yudelia shook her head and spoke:

“You’ve reached the fourth level of the Law Realm, now you must find your Technique Spirit, bestow upon it the Dharma Aspect, and fight alongside it.”

Xiao Mengyu indeed had her attention caught.

But the next second, she drew her sword and shouted:

“Immortal Country, let me out, if Shen Ye is in battle, I want to join!”

There was no response.

Now even Yudelia was anxious.

“I knew it; how could the Great Tomb Immortal State only have a single stele, what is this place exactly!”

She drew her magic wand and casually released a frost orb.

The technique’s light shot into the darkness but didn’t provoke any reaction.

Xiao Mengyu said:

“No good, we can’t stay here long, we must——”

The light and shadow around them flickered in an instant.

All the scenes vanished completely.

They safely landed in a spacious and lavish room.

A handsome vampire sat there, conversing with a skeleton.

“Yes, the trial was very tough; I almost died…”

The skeleton said, still shaking from the fright.

“Good that you succeeded, your strength is now almost reaching the Sixth Layer of the Magic Realm,” the vampire remarked with a sigh.

“Exactly, getting closer and closer,” the skeleton said excitedly.

The vampire turned around, looked at them, and said:

“As you see, my friend here is badly wounded, please heal him—oh, right, this is Fei Lun, one of us, trustworthy.”

Memories of the past were gone.

No one even knew how Shen Ye was faring in Eternal Night City; they only knew he had been sent there to go undercover.

Norton had also forgotten the skeleton who had sided with humans because of the 996 schedule.

“My healing methods are a bit troublesome; please wait a moment,”

The skeleton rose and said.

It quickly took out various ritual items and began placing them around the stretcher.

They were initially somewhat vigilant, but since Shen Ye said it was one of their own, and the place seemed safe,

They gradually relaxed.

“What is this place?” Yudelia asked.

“Eternal Night City, inside a Marquis Mansion,” Shen Ye said.

“A Marquis?” Norton asked.

“Right, we’re temporarily taking refuge here, no one will find us,” Shen Ye said.

“This person—” Norton communicated telepathically.

“Truly one of us, I assure you he can be trusted,” Shen Ye also communicated telepathically.

Truth.

Norton finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave Yudelia a knowing look.

The skeleton named “Fei Lun” chanted an incantation, completed a long spell, and then activated a small healing circle on the ground.

Light illuminated the room, converging on Norton’s body.

“Ugh… it hurts…”

Norton groaned.

“Bear with it for a while, you have quite a few problems with your body, including several sorts of sorcery and curses, so we need to take it slow,” the Skeleton said.

A few moments later.

The light extinguished, and Norton’s wounds seemed to have healed a little.

With Yudelia’s support, he stood up and slowly began to move his limbs.

“Don’t walk, lie down and rest, we’ll treat you again in half an hour.”

The Skeleton spoke seriously.

“Thank you,” Norton responded gratefully.

Xiao Mengyu suddenly gave Shen Ye a glance.

“Yes, I felt it too,” Shen Ye said.

Both took out a card, and the text inviting them to teleport back appeared on it.

“Shall we go back?” Xiao Mengyu asked.

“It’s safe here for now, and there’s nothing else, so you guys rest here; I’m going out with my companion,” Shen Ye replied.

“Alright, take care of yourself,” Norton and the Skeleton said in unison.

Shen Ye activated the card, and he teleported away with Xiao Mengyu.

In the room.

Only the Skeleton, Yudelia, and Norton remained.

“Can we take off this undead disguise now?” Yudelia asked.

“Suit yourself, as long as you wish,” the Skeleton replied.

Yudelia and Norton both took off their capes and then took an easy breath.

—Pretending to be undead was somewhat uncomfortable.

“Brother, go ahead and take off your disguise, let’s have a chat,”

Norton patted the Skeleton on the shoulder.

“I’ve always been this way,” the Skeleton waved his hand.

“Yudelia, look, this is what you call professionalism—he’s gotten used to it,” Norton said.

Yudelia looked at the Skeleton with hesitance.

Norton, on the other hand, found Peiqi’s friend quite interesting and whispered in its ear:

“Brother, I’ll remember your real appearance, and when I reclaim my kingdom, I will surely reward you generously.”

“So take off the disguise.”

“A generous reward?” The Skeleton became interested, stretched out its bony claw, putting an arm around the other’s shoulder and said, “That’s right—Shen Ye’s buddies are truly reliable. Oh, by the way—”

“He didn’t tell you, but I’m actually a skeleton.”

Soulfire flickered in the Skeleton’s eye sockets.

Norton jumped in fright.

“Hahaha, just kidding, obviously if you can disguise yourselves, why can’t I?”

The Skeleton couldn’t help but burst into uproarious laughter.

With its laughter, Norton and Yudelia both relaxed again.

The truth.

Everyone could disguise themselves.

“Hey, there’s no need for that kind of joke!”

Norton said in annoyance.

The Skeleton’s laughter stopped, and it seriously said, “Alright, speaking the truth, I am a skeleton.”

“—I am the son of the Underworld Lord, Fei Lun.”

Norton, annoyed, pressed on Fei Lun’s collarbone and gave it a firm knock.

Click.

He knocked off a bone fragment.

The size of a fingernail.

…The bone fragment was real.

Norton silently looked down at it for a while, then he lifted his head and met Fei Lun’s gaze.
