Chapter 129 Flashback

Time shifted back slightly…

Not long ago, on the rooftop of a shopping center in the north of the city.

Just as Feng Bujue was conversing with Duo Ling… suddenly, a strange glint flashed in Duo Ling's eyes.

The giant, burning skull head was originally enveloped in orange-red flames, but now, the flames around it had turned blue, a cold fire that emitted waves of frigid air…

Almost at the same time, the Bloodthirsty Demon and the Repenter, standing on either side, had already humbly bowed and addressed Duo Ling, "Our King…"

Feng Bujue also raised his eyes to scrutinize Duo Ling, and he discovered that within the empty sockets of the skull spirit's eyes, a blurry image had appeared, resembling a crowned figure.

"Feng Bujue…" A voice spoke from Duo Ling's eye sockets, not from its mouth, undoubtedly emanating from that "figure," "I… have heard your request." His voice was extremely terrifying, as if countless wails were mixed together, stuffed into a bellows, and then squeezed out… Just listening to him speak was enough to make one's hair stand on end and break out in a cold sweat.

Of course, there were those who were unaffected by such a sound…

"Ming Yuan You Wang?" Feng Bujue immediately asked in a very ordinary tone.

"Impudence!" The rightmost head of the Bloodthirsty Demon turned and glared at Jue Ge, "A mere traveler from another world, daring to address our King by his name…"

"Enough…" Ming Yuan You Wang interrupted his subordinate, "Feng Bujue is ignorant of etiquette, it matters not."

"Yes…" The Bloodthirsty Demon responded obsequiously, quickly shutting its mouth.

Seeing that this You Wang was still quite graceful and spoke favorably towards him, Feng Bujue immediately felt that things were promising. He took the opportunity to change the subject and continued, "Forgive my rudeness… I don't know how I should address Your Majesty?"

"If you wish to serve the Kingdom of the Dead…" Ming Yuan You Wang slowly replied, "Then you would naturally be considered one of my subjects…"

"Understood." Feng Bujue didn't wait for the other party to finish speaking before offering his cheap knees. He knelt on one knee, bowed, and paid his respects, "Your Majesty is above, divine might covers the world, magical power is boundless, accomplished in both literary and martial arts, may you enjoy immortal blessings forever, and your age match the heavens, for thousands of years, uniting the jianghu!"

"Holy crap…" The Bloodthirsty Demon next to him was shocked; the shamelessness of this otherworld traveler instantly exceeded its narrow imagination.

Even the usually calm Repenter broke out in a cold sweat…

"Hmm…" Ming Yuan You Wang hesitated for a few seconds, then laughed, "Hahaha… It seems you are extremely eager to join my command, very good… haha… very good…"

Clearly, Ming Yuan You Wang had never been "praised" so directly to his face. Those who submitted to him were mostly three parts respect, seven parts fear, bowing their heads and obeying his every command. No one dared to say much in front of this monarch, not even daring to maintain direct eye contact for more than two seconds…

This was also related to Ming Yuan You Wang's settings. As a world boss, this Pillar God had an extremely heaven-defying passive ability—the "Aura of Fear."

Any creature weaker than him would be affected by this ability. When they saw or heard Ming Yuan You Wang's image or voice, they would instinctively feel fear. This fear was similar to the Scarecrow's fear toxin, a physiological reaction that would then bring out psychological pressure.

And when they truly approached Ming Yuan You Wang, this mental erosion would be even more obvious… Taking players as an example, if a player stood face to face with Ming Yuan You Wang's main body, even if neither of them did anything, that player's scare value would remain at around 30%.

But Feng Bujue… was an exception. Regardless of the form of the fear effect, it was ineffective against him. Therefore, he could still speak nonsense without any pressure when facing this King of the Dead.

Thus… in Jue Ge's flattering words, Ming Yuan You Wang's goodwill towards this otherworld traveler rose in a straight line.

"As long as Your Majesty gives the word, this subordinate will go through fire and water without hesitation." Seeing that the other party was greatly pleased, Feng Bujue seized the opportunity to change "I" to "this subordinate," claiming to be subordinate to the other party.

"Hmm… I have heard… some rumors about you." Ming Yuan You Wang said, "It is said that Samael regards you as a mortal enemy; the Prison of the Lord of Time was also broken by you; the Court of Truth regards you as an extremely dangerous criminal; even among the Derivatives… your name is circulating."

"Just empty fame…" Feng Bujue said, "What this subordinate has done is like the light of a firefly, Your Majesty's power is like the brightness of the moon."

"Hehehe…" Ming Yuan You Wang had never been subjected to such high-intensity, high-density flattery attacks; his integrity value was about to collapse, "It seems you are quite knowledgeable."

"I'm going to vomit…" The Bloodthirsty One, as an NPC, was forced to complain by Jue Ge's behavior, of course, only on a mental level…

"Good, since you are so sincere and want to serve me…" Ming Yuan You Wang continued, "I will give you a chance…" He calmed his pleasant mood slightly and put on the airs of a Pillar God, "Although there are no undeserving reputations beneath great renown, I cannot unconditionally acknowledge you… Do you understand?"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Feng Bujue said, "This subordinate deeply agrees, I will go and fetch a certificate of allegiance…"

"Hmm… you understand with just a hint, not bad." Ming Yuan You Wang laughed.

"However…" Feng Bujue raised his head slightly, a sly glint flashing in his eyes, "The situation here is chaotic, and the forces of the other Pillar Gods… are also bringing out all their elites. Although this subordinate is confident in killing one or two Time Officials or Jurors, I'm afraid a good tiger can't stand a pack of wolves. If they attack in groups, this subordinate…"

"That… is your problem." Ming Yuan You Wang's tone turned cold again.

"Tch… It's not that easy after all…" Feng Bujue thought, "After all, he's a world boss. No matter how strong a player's negotiation skills are, at most, it will only make him give up the idea of 'crushing this ant directly.' If it weren't for the reputation I've accumulated in past scenarios, he wouldn't even give me this kind of 'opportunity.'"

"This subordinate understands!" Feng Bujue was still respectful on the surface, replying with a look of admiration, "Please wait a moment, Your Majesty, this subordinate will return soon…"

Before he finished speaking, the shadow in Duo Ling's eyes had already turned around and gradually blurred.

Before long, the flames on Duo Ling's head turned back to their original red color, and it began to speak with its mouth again, "Feng Bujue, it seems you have made a deep impression on Our King…"

Jue Ge patted the dust off his body, stood up again, and resumed his arrogant look of being unafraid of boiling water, "Was your consciousness still present just now?"

"Of course." Duo Ling replied.

"Good!" Feng Bujue nodded, "Since everyone is on the same boat now, you have to help a brother out."

"Who's on the same boat as you…" The Bloodthirsty Demon immediately interjected, wanting to distance himself from Jue Ge.

"Hahaha…" Duo Ling laughed, "Yes, you're right, we are already our own people."

"What?" The three heads of the Bloodthirsty Demon looked at Duo Ling in unison, "Chief… he…"

"I know what I'm doing." Duo Ling turned its head slightly, signaling the Bloodthirsty Demon to shut up, then said to Feng Bujue, "I understand what you said just now…" It paused for a moment and asked, "You want to get some 'substantial' help from us, right?"

"Exactly." Feng Bujue replied.

"Hmph… good!" Duo Ling responded, and in the next second, its giant head shook, and ghostly energy was released, and a ball of spiritual fire shot out from its eyes.

The spiritual fire scattered, and a divine artifact appeared.

A few seconds later, an object about the size of a palm, shaped like a hexagonal coffin, floated in the air.

The Bloodthirsty Demon's expression immediately changed drastically, and the Repenter also let out a soft "hmm?"

"I won't be polite." Feng Bujue stepped forward and, regardless of whether the thing had residual heat, reached out and took it.

"You otherworld travelers…" Duo Ling continued, "Should have the ability to identify this item, right?"

Feng Bujue spent only five seconds quickly scanning the item description, and without saying a word, he stuffed the thing into his knapsack before replying, "Thank you."

After saying thank you, he was about to turn and leave.

"I don't care who you end up using this to deal with…" Duo Ling's voice came from behind Jue Ge, "Don't forget… to return it to me after you're done."

"Return it to your grandpa…" This was Feng Bujue's true thought, but on the surface, he still put on a very stern pose, turned his head slightly, looked at the other party over his shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely return it to you." After saying this, he silently added in his heart, "Ten years later…"

Watching Feng Bujue's figure leaping away… the Bloodthirsty Demon finally couldn't hold back, "Why did you help him?" He glared at Duo Ling, "I can't see what use this weakling has."

"Heh…" Duo Ling turned his head with a smile, "The potential of otherworld travelers is much stronger than you think… Don't just look at the present. Besides… strength is not necessarily the most important thing." His tone gradually became gloomy, "This person… will definitely be useful in the future, and I am also thinking of Our King's interests."

…………

Time returned to the present, to the battle between Feng Bujue and Ruth.

Jue Ge was seen taking out a mini coffin-like thing from his knapsack and waving it in his hand.

"From the first moment I saw you, I knew this was your trump card." Ruth said in a deep voice, "If you think you can defeat me with this… you might as well try."

Feng Bujue replied in a provocative tone, "Hmph… I'll try even if you don't tell me to."
