The Boss Behind The Game

Chapter 29: My King Returns

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
Facing the relentless questioning of the five players, the fire within the Soul Liberating Envoy’s eyes gradually flared up. Finally, with a swipe of his hands, a mass of black vapor appeared to surround the five, locking them within before levitating them off the ground.

“Do you all know how the Ghost Supreme Commander who was stationed here died?” the Soul Liberating Envoy tested the waters in hopes of getting an answer.

The head Berserker struggled for a while, but once he discovered that he was unable to escape, he looked at his companions helplessly.

“Huh? The Mysterious Merchant wants to show off his capabilities before making a trade?”

“Cough… boss, I’ve never met him before either, so I don’t know how the process is supposed to go.”

“Then… should we praise him a bit to make him happy? So he’ll give us a discount?”

Hearing the players’ conversation, the Soul Liberating Envoy lost any hope whatsoever. With another wave of his hand, the black vapor began to surge and fold, crushing the five people within to pieces.

Observing the souls and soul power disappear mysteriously once again, the Soul Liberating Envoy’s expression looked thoughtful. In a flash, he had transformed into a dark shadow that streaked toward the Mansion of the Dead with the speed of lightning.

Everything that had happened here had naturally been seen by Bei Li who was on a 24/7 watch and she reported the situation swiftly to Lu Wu.

“Seems like Cha Na has sent people in for an investigation, but where exactly did this Soul Liberating Envoy come from?”

Bei Li rested her chin on her hands as she sat before the computer table, munching on junk food.

“The Soul Liberating Envoy is the next highest position after the Ghost General under the Ghost King and is in charge of collecting Yin souls to turn it over to them. Every Ghost King and Ghost General has a Soul Liberating Envoy beneath them and their powers differ from one to another, but they’re skillful in blood sacrifice spells.”

“Yin souls? What’s that?” Lu Wu asked curiously.

“It’s something like money in the real world, I guess. After all, normal people aren’t able to collect this kind of soul power and Beiqi has a lot of districts that produce Yin souls. Yin souls are different from default souls in the sense that it’s more like a kind of material used in cultivation, but it can also be used to construct weaponry and equipment. It just has a lot of uses, that’s all you need to know.”
