Gatekeeper of Myriad Worlds Chapter 243

Everyone was moved.

This Long Wu Baxter is so vicious!

—He seems completely different from his brothers!

The host on stage continued to bid.

“330 bone coins for the first time!”

“330 bone coins for the second time!”

“330 bone coins for the third time—sold!”

It was just over three hundred bone coins.

And in Evernight City, Shen Ye also found that prices were not high.

So how did Prince Norton collect so many bone coins!

He also has a vampire cloak.

Is he preparing to flee and become an undead if anything goes wrong?

All sorts of thoughts flashed through his mind.

Shen Ye stood up and followed the attendant to see the slave he had bought.

In a room.

Shen Ye saw Rosalia tied up.

“It’s okay, you guys go out first, I’ll talk to her.”

He untied Rosalia.

“You should have met my brother, his name is Ni Baxter—what do you think now?”

“You buying me was a mistake,” Rosalia said in a deep voice.

“Where did I go wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

“These people are not well-known in hell because they don’t want to be too high-profile. In fact, they are backed by Lord Tian Luo—he is an almost invincible being,” Rosalia said.

…It seems there’s a chance.

“Then do you know why they don’t want to be too high-profile?” Shen Ye asked.

“Because hell was originally the responsibility of another lord, and Lord Tian Luo didn’t want to fall out with that lord, so he just secretly sent some people here and didn’t expand his sphere of influence.”

Rosalia said seriously.

Silence all around.

Shen Ye heard his own heartbeat.

That is to say—

Tian Luo shouldn’t have caused trouble in hell.

But he secretly organized some people and entered hell.

What would Nine Aspects think?

To calm his emotions, Shen Ye took a deep breath, but his face remained calm.

“Another lord is responsible for hell… But Tian Luo dared to trespass, we already knew about this.”

“That’s also why I saved you.”

He began to speak.

Rosalia was initially unconcerned, but soon thought of something else, and said with a solemn expression:

“—Wait, are you—?”

Shen Ye said, “That’s right, I’m a subordinate of Lord Nine Aspects, and hell is our territory.”

“What if I don’t follow you?” Rosalia said.

Shen Ye said, “The door is over there. If you don’t want to, then leave. I won’t force you to stay.”

A look of struggle appeared on Rosalia’s face.

The Great Skeleton watched coldly from the side, finally unable to resist sending a telepathic message:

“What if she really leaves? Won’t the money be wasted?”

“Are you saying she rejected my recruitment, thereby offending both Tian Luo and Nine Aspects in hell?” Shen Ye asked.

The Great Skeleton fell silent.

If this Rosalia was really that stupid—

Then she wasn’t worth recruiting.

Rosalia hesitated for a long time, then finally asked:

“What are my tasks?”

“None for now. I’ll give you tasks when I think of them—but I guarantee they won’t be stupid suicide missions,” Shen Ye said.

“Alright, do I need to sign a contract?” Rosalia asked.

“No need,” Shen Ye waved his hand.

“No contract needed?” Rosalia asked in surprise.

Shen Ye said with disdain, “Are you planning to betray Lord Nine Aspects in hell? I really don’t know what your end would be.”

“…You are right,” Rosalia murmured, bowing her head.

Knock knock knock.

A knock on the door.

“Come in,” Shen Ye said.

The attendant led in a skeleton emanating dark light.

“Baxter, this is the supervisor of our gladiator arena, Black Flame.”

The attendant introduced.

The skeleton, wearing a proper black tuxedo, sized up Shen Ye:

“Long Wu Baxter, you just said you wanted to pay a hundred times the bone coins to kill that person.”

“What was the original price?” Shen Ye asked.

“Considering that their territory is still expanding, it will cost 3,000 bone coins to kill him,” the Black Flame Skeleton said.

“Then, as agreed, I will pay 300,000 bone coins,” Shen Ye said.

He rubbed his ring.

The spacious table in the room was instantly piled high with bone coins, reaching up to the ceiling.

The Black Flame Skeleton glanced at it, then took a deep breath and said:

“Mr. Long Wu, the Valley of Ten Thousand Skeletons is vast, no smaller than any city in the mortal realm, and holds millions of undead souls.”

“Powerful experts emerge endlessly, and various forces occupy this place, fierce and strong.”

“—You carry so many bone coins every day, you should be more careful.”

Shen Ye glanced at the doorway.

Seven or eight professionals stood at the door.

Inside the room, the attendant stood in a corner with his head bowed.

The Black Flame Skeleton was right in front of him, capable of attacking him with a single step.

If they were to strike at this moment—

“Are you concerned about my safety? My business partner, it’s about time you had more faith in me.”

Shen Ye pulled out a tooth, spread it in his palm, and showed it to the Black Flame Skeleton.

“You’re doing such big business, I wonder if you can recognize this thing and thereby understand who I’m working for?”

He asked softly.

The tooth emitted a strange and violent fluctuation.

The more one tried to sense this fluctuation carefully, the more one would fall into a kind of hysteria, even their spiritual power would begin to become chaotic.

—The tooth of Nine Aspects!

Rosalia stood aside, exclaiming:

“This is… the token of that lord, you are his appointed envoy!”

Having been saved by Shen Ye, conversed with him face-to-face, witnessed the 300,000 bone coins, and then seen this tooth, she finally believed Shen Ye.

The Black Flame Skeleton also quickly stepped back, bowing in salute:

“Lord Long Wu, I was overly concerned. With your status, you naturally don’t need to worry about anything.”

“Handle things beautifully—make a big show of it—no, let everyone see how I make a big show of it.”

Shen Ye said.

He suddenly remembered something.

These people pledging allegiance to Tian Luo and working for that human-faced planet, just like the five classmates he met before.

They should also have some planetary source power.

If they do, it shouldn’t be wasted.

“This… might be more difficult than an assassination, Lord Long Wu,” the Black Flame Skeleton said awkwardly.

Shen Ye smiled, and throwing down another hundred thousand bone coins, he said:

“You are the supervisor here. With your outstanding ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to do this well, right?”

The Black Flame Skeleton looked at the pile of bone coins, its difficult tone immediately changed, and it said respectfully:

“You really judge people well.”

“Then I’ll go meet that guy—are you sure I’m a good judge of character?” Shen Ye asked.

“Of course! I’ll go prepare immediately! You can rest assured!”

The Black Flame Skeleton bowed elegantly and turned to leave in a hurry.

The Great Skeleton asked quietly:

“Why did he say you’re a good judge of character?”

“A person’s appearance reflects their salary; I make accurate judgments every time.” Shen Ye said.

He also walked out the door.

Rosalia quickly followed in his footsteps.

They walked out of the gladiator arena one after another and came to the street outside.

The street opposite was already crowded with people.

The person leading them was the one who had provoked them during the bidding earlier.

Shen Ye couldn’t help but smile.

Such a fool actually works for Tian Luo.

Perhaps their world hasn’t universalized education, or they’ve experienced too many wars, so all outstanding figures have perished, creating a generational gap.

—Only these petty individuals are left to manage the situation.

It’s simply giving him ammunition.

“Long Wu Baxter.”

That person shouted loudly.

A large open space was cleared on the street.

Aside from him and his subordinates, leaders from various other factions stood at a distance, observing what was happening.

“Something wrong?” Shen Ye asked.

“I’m right here, how are you going to kill me?” The man stared at him, his expression fierce.

Shen Ye shook his head slightly.

Nine Aspects is in charge of this world, and you are provoking Nine Aspects’ envoy in this world.

What do you mean by that?

Want your whole family to die?

To put it another way—

I’ve already stated my identity.

If you still don’t know that I am the messenger of Nine Aspects, then you don’t have enough strength to stand before me.

Going a step further—

Do you intend to cause trouble between the two lords, Nine Aspects and Tian Luo?

“Rosalia,” Shen Ye said.

“Here.”

“Are you scared?”

“My lord, my missions are all led by such fools. Do you understand my pain now?” Rosalia countered.

“What you said is interesting.” Shen Ye smiled.

As the two spoke, the man and his subordinates crossed the street and approached Shen Ye, standing before him.

In front of everyone—

The leader continued to ask Shen Ye:

“Baxter, you are too naive, do you think the people in the gladiator arena dare to kill me?”

Shen Ye looked back and shouted:

“Hey, I’m in a hurry!”

Before he could finish speaking.

A knife suddenly stretched out from behind the leader, piercing his throat with a single thrust.

The assassin grabbed the dagger with one hand and his head with the other, pressing him before Shen Ye.

Shen Ye drew his Guanghan sword and plunged it directly into his chest.

The long sword vibrated.

There’s a reaction!

The faint light instantly coalesced into words:

“The ‘Essence Extraction’ on the Guanghan Sacred Artifact has been activated!”

“Description: Kill the enemy to extract the Dharma Aspect from their body, turning it into the origin of the Dharma Realm to replenish oneself.”

“—A hundred streams converge, a thousand mountains become peaks, and all methods return to their origin.”

“The current target of extraction has condensed 30% of the planetary origin power for you.”

“You still need to collect the remaining 10%.”

“Come on, the mythical tier legendary trait is within reach!”

Shen Ye was pleased.

Only the last bit left…

The person who struck with the knife grabbed the head, and before anyone could react, he sprinted into the gladiator arena with full force.

The crowd erupted in a clamor, producing a tremendous noise as they drew their weapons.

But the leader was already dead.

The headless corpse lay on the ground, bleeding and twitching.

There was no room for recovery.

Everyone’s gaze slowly shifted, looking towards Shen Ye.

“It’s him!”

“He hired an assassin.”

“Kill him!”

The crowd roared.

Shen Ye remained expressionless, extending his hand and making a “four” gesture.

“400,000 bone coins.”

He opened his mouth and said.

The crowd didn’t understand what he meant; some began to chant spells, some drew their weapons, and some shouted angrily, calling out names.

Shen Ye completely ignored them and continued:

“I only spent 400,000 bone coins to kill this person.”

“If any of you dare to make a move, I guarantee your entire family will die.”

“Perhaps some of you have no attachments because the people you care about are still alive in the human world.”

“What does it matter? The living can also die.”

“I’m busy, but now I’m giving you a chance to strike—”

He spread his arms and roared:

“Who wants to kill me?”

“Come on!!!”

The people gradually fell silent.

On the street, only the sound of the wind blowing could be heard.

An eerie silence persisted.

No matter how time passed, no one dared to make a move.
