Apocalypse: Master of Soul Beasts

Mo Xuan, seated in the main chair, was enthusiastically suggesting his ideas regarding the eleventh clause.

In the unseen depths of Tang Haofei’s heart, he had already torn this pale-faced man into hundreds of pieces.

”Tang? Tang? Do you have any thoughts on this clause?”

The gentle call, to Tang Haofei, sounded no less than the roar of a Demon Fiend. Tang Haofei swallowed hard, laboriously picked up the documents beside him, and began reading them word by word.

Just as Tang Haofei was being driven to distraction by the various clauses on paper...

KNOCK... KNOCK... KNOCK...

A crisp knock echoed from the door. To Tang Haofei, it sounded like a life-saving melody.

”City Lord Mo, you see...” Old Tang shot Mo Xuan a look, signaling that Mo Xuan should attend to his business first and not mind him.

Mo Xuan, seeing Tang Haofei’s expression, chuckled in understanding and gestured for Tang Haofei to continue reading the document in his hand. Only then did Mo Xuan lightly tap the tabletop.

”Come in.”

CREAK.

The large wooden door swung open with a distinct sound. Before Tang Haofei and Mo Xuan’s eyes, a Skeleton soldier in a military uniform of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes strode in urgently.

”Sir.” The Skeleton soldier greeted Mo Xuan, then quickly moved to his side, whispering a torrent of words into Mo Xuan’s ear.

Tang Haofei couldn’t understand the specifics—they were speaking the language of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes.

But Tang Haofei still possessed the ability to read expressions!

He saw Mo Xuan’s complexion change dramatically, and Mo Xuan shot up from his seat.

”Are you telling the truth?” As if unable to believe the news he had just heard, Mo Xuan couldn’t help but question the soldier again.

”The Identity Token has been verified; the identity is likely authentic.”

In the next instant, Mo Xuan, without even a moment to bid Tang Haofei farewell, transformed into a shadowy glow and shot out of the room like lightning. He left Tang Haofei sitting bewildered in his chair, still holding the documents.

It was the Skeleton soldier at his side who concluded matters for Mo Xuan.

”Please wait a moment, sir. A person of high importance has arrived outside...”

Wen Yu elegantly took a sip from the unfamiliar beverage before him.

But deep down, Wen Yu was far from the calm he projected.

Quietly surveying his surroundings, Wen Yu noted that nearly ten natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes, each with a distinct appearance, had crowded into the small room.

Unlike ordinary Skeletons, these individuals possessed a fair amount of flesh on their bones—indicating greater power and strength. Wen Yu even identified three Breakthrough Achievers among them!

Considering Ling Yun City’s current manpower shortage, this was an exceptionally grand reception.

A reminder from the Almighty Demon Vine surfaced in Wen Yu’s mind.

”Head up, chest out, look at them openly and honorably! Don’t be furtive like a thief!”

Hearing the Almighty Demon Vine’s words, Wen Yu felt a sense of inexplicable awe. He immediately straightened his posture and leaned forward slightly.

With this simple, small movement from Wen Yu, all the surrounding natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes seemed startled and collectively stepped back three paces in unison.

Is this respect? Or fear?

Wen Yu couldn’t tell, but at least he understood that the identity the Almighty Demon Vine had arranged for him this time seemed to be extraordinarily significant!

This all started a short while ago.

After Wen Yu had leisurely strolled to the City Lord Mansion, he showed his token to the City Guards at the gate.

Subsequently, a large group of individuals, referred to as ”Retainers of the City Lord Mansion,” respectfully escorted Wen Yu to an adjacent reception hall. There, he was treated with the utmost courtesy, though he couldn’t tell if it was a form of dignified confinement or genuine service.

Wen Yu observed the surrounding natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes—figures that were neither human-like nor ghost-like. They bowed to him with deep respect, serving him with meticulous care. All the while, Wen Yu was urgently trying to communicate with the Almighty Demon Vine.

”We’re in the City Lord Mansion now, what’s next? Also, what should I do? What should I say?”

”Wait. I will instruct you when the time comes.”

The simple Spiritual Fluctuation emanated from the Almighty Demon Vine, after which it fell silent once more.

Wen Yu had lost count of how many times he had asked the Almighty Demon Vine these questions, but the response was always the same. This aloof demeanor from the Almighty Demon Vine was quite frustrating for Wen Yu.

Fortunately, this frustration didn’t last long.

As the deathly figures before him parted uniformly, a tall, clean-shaven figure walked into the room. Wen Yu finally dismissed his lingering doubts, lifted his head, and looked forward.

Looking at the somewhat ”slight” figure before him, Mo Xuan exhaled deeply.

His aura signature is not an issue—Wen Yu has taken the Spirit Rhythm Immortal Pill, so his aura is fine.

Although his physique was somewhat unusual, the natives of the Universe of Immortals and Heroes did not differ drastically in appearance from the Earth Human Race. Such slight variations were entirely within an acceptable range.

As for the rest...

At this thought, Mo Xuan slowly bowed and gently extended his hands towards Wen Yu.

”Please present your Identity Token.”

This time, without needing a reminder from the Almighty Demon Vine, Wen Yu directly retrieved the token from his waist and activated it using the Spiritual Fluctuation method the Almighty Demon Vine had taught him.

Seeing the large man before him bow respectfully to receive the token, Wen Yu let out an almost imperceptible sigh and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The moment Mo Xuan had entered this reception hall, Wen Yu had instantly sensed the immense energy radiating from him.

It proved Wen Yu’s guess correct—there were indeed life forms in the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace far more powerful than himself, and the Mo Xuan before him was one such entity!

Wen Yu watched as runes danced at Mo Xuan’s fingertips, swiftly passing over the token. He understood instantly—Mo Xuan was verifying his identity.

Almost simultaneously, a Spiritual Fluctuation from the Almighty Demon Vine entered his mind.

”Mo Xuan, the strongest being in the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Palace, City Lord of Ling Yun City, and also an administrator of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. See the black robe Mo Xuan is wearing? It’s the same as yours.”

”What are those four golden stripes?” Wen Yu naturally saw the similarities in their robes, and the differences were also clear at a glance.

”They symbolize Mo Xuan’s fourth-tier status within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.”

”Fourth-tier?”

”One golden stripe signifies an Alliance Hierarch, two for an Elder, three for a Protector, and four for an Administrator.”

Hearing the Almighty Demon Vine’s explanation, Wen Yu couldn’t help but glance at the black robe he wore.

”What about me? No rank? A junior disciple?”

”Hehe.”
