Chapter 177: Chapter 175 You Ruined My Big Plan (Part 1)

"I’ll ask you again, what did you mean by what you just said? If you don’t answer, don’t blame Qi for being rude." Yun Qi said solemnly, with a serious expression.

Lei Wanchun quickly shielded the armor, "He was just speaking offhandedly to scare me, Little Master. He’s not having an easy time and came all the way to find me. Could you please let him off for my sake?"

Captain Li said in surprise, "This is strange. Clearly, he was the one who abducted you, yet you’re speaking on his behalf now."

Lei Wanchun chuckled awkwardly, "We have some history. In general, he didn’t mean to harm me, right?"

"He indeed didn’t intend to harm you, but his real purpose was to take you away. The armor is filled with heavy Evil Qi, it’s an extremely yin object, if not for the Spirit Talisman I gave you, wearing the armor would be equivalent to death, and you’d disappear without a trace." Yun Qi patiently explained each word.

"Holy crap!" Lei Wanchun turned back in shock, looking at the armor, thankful he always kept the Spirit Talisman with him, preventing the armor from getting close, otherwise, he would have been dead long ago.

The armor turned its head to stare at Yun Qi, its voice deep and hoarse like the sand of the Northern Border being crushed, "So it was you who gave the Spirit Talisman, you’ve ruined my big plans. If delayed any further, I wouldn’t catch up with the team."

"Which team?" Captain Li asked quickly.

"Of course, my team, the personal cavalry under the General’s command. We’ve been sleeping underground for thousands of years, finally awakening now to return to the battlefield."

Captain Li and the young police officer beside him were bewildered.

"Are you sure you’re alright? It’s thousands of years later; times have changed. There’s no battlefield here, and even if there were, it has nothing to do with your ancient cavalry."

"How can it be unrelated? When I awakened, I heard others saying they needed to get ready to return to the battlefield. But my master, Wang Tu, was severely injured, his waist was broken by a stone, split in half from the spine. Such a skeleton can’t support me, so I’m here to find his reincarnation."

Upon hearing the armor say this, everyone roughly understood.

This armor was once buried with its master, somehow cultivating into an Object Demon with its own consciousness. Upon awakening, it found its original owner reduced to a pile of bones, hence it sought the reincarnation of its owner to once again fight alongside him.

Yun Qi blinked, noticing that the armor was determined and bloodthirsty yet possibly unclear about the concept of time due to just becoming an Object Demon, said:

"Then stay with me for now; I’ll investigate this awakening army matter thoroughly."

The armor looked at Lei Wanchun, who was eager. He didn’t want the armor to be harmed, making him look bad, nor did he want the armor to follow him and potentially affect his family.

"Sure, sure." He nodded hurriedly.

The armor, seeing its master say so, didn’t have strong objections and asked, "Can I come find you in the future?"

Lei Wanchun immediately looked glum, "Better not. Humans and demons travel different paths, the bond of master and servant has long been severed. Remember, I’m not your master’s reincarnation, just his next next next reincarnation. It’s been so many years, just forget about me, ha!"

Saying this, he patted the armor’s shoulder and quickly ran behind Yun Qi.

The armor seemed a little unwilling but recalled the scene where Yun Qi effortlessly wiped out the cavalry ghost shadow, looking at her in fear.

It was, after all, a newly cultivated Object Demon with limited mana, possibly no match for this Xuan Shu Master.

"Alright, but you must hurry, or I’m afraid I won’t catch up with the main force."

Yun Qi glared at him without responding, then took a deep breath, ready to speak, when the Mountain Ghost mumbled skillfully:

"Got it, it’s just an armor, perfect for guarding the door against evil!"

Seeing that there was nothing left for him to do, Lei Wanchun was about to leave with the police.

Yun Qi blinked her big eyes and said with a serious tone, "Uncle, each protective Spirit Talisman costs one hundred thousand. My trip also costs one hundred thousand; one hundred thousand plus one hundred thousand totals two hundred thousand, not a penny less."

Lei Wanchun grimaced, "That expensive?!"

"For saving your family’s lives, do you think it’s expensive or not?"

"Not expensive, not at all, very worthwhile. Please give me an account number, and I’ll transfer the money to you later." Lei Wanchun quickly said, having not seen his daughter Little Yezi for nearly a day, she must be terrified. Nothing was more important to him than getting home quickly.

The young police officer looked at Captain Li, wondering if asking for twenty thousand right in front of the police was too much?

Captain Li slapped his apprentice on the back of the head, "What are you looking at? Fair pricing, fair trade, what’s it got to do with us."

"Oh." The apprentice clutched his head and left with Lei Wanchun.

Captain Li then warmly walked up to Yun Qi, "Uh, Little Master..."

"Don’t worry, it’s a destined match; everything will go smoothly on your date today."

Captain Li was overjoyed; the Little Master was indeed formidable, knowing he had a date tonight.

He gave Yun Qi a thumbs up, "I’ll go get the car and you can come back with us."

Yun Qi watched everyone’s backs, sighed, yet furrowed her brows again.

The armor’s mention of an army assembling didn’t seem false. If true, does he mean...

Ghost Soldiers?

Meanwhile, outside the border, the sky was high and the clouds were light, the autumn scenery captivating. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the yellow Hemu City appeared exceptionally quiet. In the distance lay vast stretches of Poplar Forest, and hills that appeared in rich hues under the setting sun, as if someone had accidentally spilled a box of paint.

Hu Ju, dressed in white, squinted his beautiful fox-like eyes as he walked into the tomb, covering his ethereal face with a handkerchief. His crimson lips slightly pursed, eyes filled with a deep ink-like darkness, and eyelashes thin and long.

The director of the 49th Bureau is selected on a rotational basis from the Ghost Realm, Demon Realm, Human World, Divine Realm, and Beast World, every three hundred years. Currently, it’s the turn of the Demon Realm. Hu Ju is said to have been selected as the director for his outstanding looks.

Because a meeting was held in the Demon Realm to discuss the candidate for director, it concluded that an extraordinary demonic power, stunning appearance, and steady personality were indispensable. Only after Hu Ju became director did everyone realize he indeed had the first two qualities, but as for the last one... better not mention it!

In the other burial chambers, professional staff continued their excavation rescue efforts, but the burial chamber in front of Hu Ju was empty except for a few scattered wine jars, weapons, and a few soon-to-collapse skeletons in the corner.

"Director Hu, take a look," the archeologist pointed at the skeleton broken at the waist, saying, "Based on our analysis, those buried in this chamber were soldiers stationed locally, like this one struck by enemy stones during battle, breaking from the waist and dying quite tragically."

"Hmm, such a large tomb can’t possibly house only these few people, right?" Hu Ju asked.

"Right, typically a tomb of this size could bury three hundred to five hundred people, and there are four similar chambers around, totaling a capacity of one thousand two hundred to two thousand soldiers. The tomb owner was a General, holding a high position, so we deduced they were likely all war casualties. There were too many people, so they had to be buried on the spot. However, now the General’s and most of the soldiers’ bodies are missing, along with the buried armor, weapons, and horses. What we currently see are just a few remnants."
