The City of Terror

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

It was a Saturday that day. The one who opened the door for Wei Xiao Bei was his little sister, Wei Xiao Yun. Seeing that her brother had returned, she could not help but happily hang on his neck, showing strong intimacy.

On the other hand, when Wei Xiao Peng saw his brother, he greeted him bashfully and obediently took the things from Wei Xiao Bei’s hands.

“My child, why do you have to go buy gifts if you’re just returning home?”

Seeing the bags that Wei Xiao Bei carried back, Wei Xiao Bei’s mother could not help but complain.

As a teacher and a middle-aged wife, she was accustomed to being frugal.

“Wow. It’s actually the newest tablet computer! I have seen on the internet that these things cost more than 5000 yuan!”

Wei Xiao Peng might look bashful, but he was quick to tear open the bags and gifts, causing him to be surprised.

“What? That is big brother’s gift to me!”

Hearing Wei Xiao Peng’s amazement, Wei Xiao Yun jumped off her brother and jumped on the sofa to contest with Wei Xiao Peng.

Seeing the siblings fighting, the mother hurriedly came out from the kitchen, and the father had a slightly worried expression on his face.

Wei Xiao Bei once again felt how great it was to be back home.

“Enough, don’t fight anymore. Both of you have one, but remember to not neglect your studies.”

Seeing that the two were arguing, he could not help but smile bitterly.

His home’s condition was still good. The wooden plate with the Shing Wong’s blessing was still hung on the wall and being nurtured by incense smoke without any problems. It made the house’s environment become extremely suitable for human living.

Seeing that his family’s situation was quite good, Wei Xiao Bei let out a sigh of relief.

After eating dinner, he subtly mentioned that he wanted his parents to leave and go live in another place.

Wei Xiao Bei’s mother was the first to oppose his plan.

She thought that he was urging her to move to Cui Hu City and could not help but remember the high costs of urban living, thinking it wouldn’t be worth it.

However, what she did not know was that Wei Xiao Bei was not talking about moving to Cui Hu City but to an island.

There was no mistake. Wei Xiao Bei currently did not have the money, but he wanted to reveal this idea earlier so that they would not be caught unprepared.

Naturally, his entire family moving to an island was only a path of retreat.

Wei Xiao Bei did not tell them this in detail.

As night fell, everyone went to sleep. Wei Xiao Bei who slept early woke up and took out a box of white wine from under his bed.

The reason he returned this time was not to reunite with his family but to go visit the Shing Wong Temple in the Dust World.

After opening the bottle, Wei Xiao Bei poured the sparkling and translucent wine into his mouth. After three bottles, he fell asleep.

……

This was the second time he entered the Dust World from his home.

When he woke up, he was surprised to find out that his room was not that dilapidated, and only some furniture had degraded by a few years. Whether it was the bed or the floor, they were cleaner compared to before.

He naturally understood that he had entered the Dust World.

When he opened the door and entered the living room, he noticed something strange.

His room and the living room had both expanded.

On the other hand, the wooden plate with the Shing Wong’s blessing hung on the wall with three incense sticks lit under it. The smoke wafted in the air and was sucked in by the wooden plate.

On the other hand, the wooden plate let out a yellow glow that surrounded the entire room.

So it was like that!

The blessed wooden plate was truly a treasure. Even if he was in the Dust World, its effects were still displayed.

However, it would only stay in effect while it was in Bai Ta County. If it was not like that its value would be even higher.

Naturally, this blessed wooden plate was a treasure created by the Shing Wong and had his blessing.

Wei Xiao Bei stared at the wooden plate and could not help but shake his head. The engraving on it appeared to be inferior to his own. However, he could feel faint spirituality from every single line on it, causing him to be puzzled.

Naturally, the reason why he came over was not to observe the effects of the wooden plate. After taking a short look, he directly jumped down from the window.

He was already quite familiar with the path to the Shing Wong Temple.

With his speed, he could see the erected Shing Wong Temple on the west side of the county.

A group of Yin soldiers was currently patrolling around the place.

When they saw a human, the Yin soldiers immediately became alert, but the leader immediately signaled them to relax. He took two steps forward and cupped his hands, “Mr. Wei?”

Wei Xiao Bei still had his eyes closed and activated his [Response Pulse], inspecting the face of the leader of the Yin soldiers.

He felt familiar with it and remembered.

This leader was the one he encountered the last time he entered came to the Shing Wong Temple, thus he was able to recognize him.

“I am. I wish to pay a visit to Lord Shing Wong, Can you lead the way?”

Although he had no proof of his identity, he could see from the expression of the Yin soldier that Lord Shing Wong appeared to have instructed him to do something. Thus, he did not worry that his request would be rejected.

“As you desire.”

The leader immediately assigned a Yin soldier to lead the way for Wei Xiao Bei. Although Wei Xiao Bei could find the Temple by himself, there were still a lot of patrolling groups on his way there. Having someone lead the way was a lot more convenient.

Before he reached the Shing Wong Temple, Wei Xiao Bei noticed a problem.

The Yin soldiers that were patrolling appeared to have increased in numbers. Without even reaching halfway, he had already seen six groups.

Although Wei Xiao Bei was not afraid of them, if he did not have a guide, he would probably fall into a troublesome situation.

“Did something happen?”

Wei Xiao Bei asked the Yin soldier suspiciously.

The Yin soldier was quite respectful and quickly stopped to answer, “Mr. Wei seems to be unaware. Recently, Foreign Angels have come to invade the place. Lord Shing Wong had no choice but to increase the guards.”

Eh?

Hearing this, Wei Xiao Bei was stunned.

Foreign Angels?

There was a lot of information in the Yin soldier’s words. Wei Xiao Bei continued to walk while in deep thought.

When they reached the front of the Shing Wong Temple, Wei Xiao Bei could see that there were more than 10 scars of battle.

Many of the ruined buildings had been destroyed and some places even had burn marks.

It could be seen from this how intense the battle was.

The fire of war had even reached the inside of the city. It could be said that the so-called Foreign Angels were a bit powerful.

As he reached the Temple, the scholar who previously brought him inside the Temple was once again waiting for him.

There was no doubt that the Yin soldier leader had a direct link to the Shing Wong Temple.

“Greetings Mr. Wei!”

The scholar quickly greeted Wei Xiao Bei and Wei Xiao Bei returned the greeting.

“Hearing that Mr. Wei has returned, Lord Shing Wong is very happy. It’s just that he is currently busy with military affairs so he could not come and welcome you.”

Wei Xiao Bei only treated the scholar’s words as a conventional greeting. How could a powerful overlord like Lord Shing Wong ever come and welcome him personally?

This was something he understood.

When he entered the Temple, he was guided to the guest room and the scholar bade farewell.

A maid quickly brought in some tea, and Wei Xiao Bei slowly drank it.

Around half an hour passed. The butcher-like Shing Wong came in with the stench of blood around him.

The two sides exchanged conventional greetings.

Wei Xiao Bei was not a normal 4-Star Creature. Seeing Lord Shing Wong, he appeared more confident, not as cautious as last time, and his speech was not as monotone.

It must be said that he was quite puzzled. The stench of blood on Lord Shing Wong was different from the normal stench of blood. It actually carried a sweet smell and even emitted an extremely holy aura.

Next, Lord Shing Wong’s words resolved Wei Xiao Bei’s suspicions.

It appeared that Lord Shing Wong was truly busy, busy dealing with the Foreign Angels. The stench of blood on his body was left behind by the Angels.

Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did not know why and where these Angels came from at the moment.

However, these did not have much of an effect on him. Wei Xiao Bei immediately revealed his intent in coming here.

Originally, he thought that there would be some negotiations and some twists and turns, but he never expected that Shing Wong would straightforwardly agree just like that.

This truly exceeded Wei Xiao Bei’s expectations.

It must be said that according to Ge Da Tian’s words, it was hard to take a peek at the manufacturing methods of the Underworld Guardians under the Shing Wong. After all, there were some secret techniques.

In simpler terms, including in the Real World, techniques were not simply passed on for free.

After Wei Xiao Bei followed the scholar to Shing Wong Temple’s workshop, he was still thinking about this matter.

Could it be the surplus from the previous favor?

Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. This was highly unlikely. Although Lord Shing Wong appeared to be quite straightforward and rough, Wei Xiao Bei felt that he was also quite shrewd.

The previous matter had already been settled. For a Land God like Shing Wong, something he could repay immediately would not be left for next time.

The wooden plate was the best proof of this. Moreover, Wei Xiao Bei had also received a lot of spiritual crops from Lord Shing Wong, and this was enough to cover the favor of returning the talisman.

Since he could not understand, he could only sigh.

However, in any case, since the Shing Wong was willing for this to happen, Wei Xiao Bei would not reject the harmless gains, and he did not promise anything, so he did not worry.

The workshop could be considered the place with the strictest security in the Shing Wong Temple.

At the side of the mountain stood a tall iron palace. Ghosts were lined up in a row to steadily deliver ore to the iron palace.

The iron palace had many Yin soldiers guarding it. Just from their preparations and expressions, it could be seen that they were a lot stronger than the Yin soldiers patrolling outside.
