After stepping back a few paces, Gu Xi noticed that the man in front of him was making many furtive movements, defensively watching everyone nearby.

It seemed that as long as someone tried to get within a five-meter radius of him, it would trigger his reaction.

"Not very strong, but quite the problem-maker."

Gu Xi muttered to himself silently.

But the man being so cautious didn’t bother Gu Xi much.

Aside from muttering to himself, Gu Xi didn’t take any other action, simply standing by, waiting for the Thunderbird to be dealt with.

At that moment, a man in a black robe hurried over.

When he saw Gu Xi, he rushed to him as if he was family.

"Guest, thankfully you didn’t leave. Let me tell you, the situation earlier has spread, and many people in the city know there’s a master Undead Mage like you.

Now many in the city are looking for you.

The players in the city have suffered too long from the lack of a powerful Undead Mage.

Your appearance brought them a glimmer of hope.

This is a great opportunity, guest.

How about staying in Qianfang City a few days longer? I’ll make arrangements for you.

I guarantee all the benefits offered will be yours, I will take none. Plus, there’ll be extra benefits."

Listening to the man in the black robe, Gu Xi was visibly taken aback.

He wanted to ask if the Undead Mages in Qianfang City were not up to par.

But considering the situation with Bone Mountain and Blood Pool at the black market, he understood how an Undead Mage could thrive without competition.

Moreover, the black-robed man’s words caught the attention of the man waiting for the Thunderbird Feather, who turned to reassess Gu Xi’s situation.

Before the black-robed man could drag Gu Xi outside, the man suddenly spoke: "Wait, are you an Undead Mage?

Do you banish ghosts?"

"Yes!"

Previously, Gu Xi would not have answered so confidently.

But with the skills of Ghost-Suppressing Peach Mountain, Gu Xi was very confident.

Even without using the Death Lord’s abilities, the power of Peach Mountain Ghost Suppression could deal with everything for Gu Xi.

"That’s wonderful."

The man stepped forward and grabbed Gu Xi’s hand.

However, the next moment, he jumped back to a five-meter distance, his hand reflexively touched his longbow.

It was evident that he still felt uneasy being close to certain people.

"Sorry, I’ve got a bit of a problem.

Can you really banish ghosts?"

"Absolutely."

Gu Xi nodded affirmatively.

"Great, here’s the thing, my companions and I are tackling a dungeon, and now we’ve encountered an issue. It’s supposed to be a Mechanical Temple dungeon, but we came across a ghost.

The ghost blocked our path forward.

The worst part is we are unable to clear out the ghost.

I came to get the Thunderbird Feather specifically because it can harm the ghost.

If you possess ghost banishment abilities, it would be perfect. We hope you can come with us and help us eliminate this ghost."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi became slightly interested.

"Sure, isn’t it just clearing a dungeon? I’m fine with that."

Hearing Gu Xi agree, the man was about to say something, but the black-robed man immediately interjected: "Hold on, guest, you shouldn’t agree so quickly. If you trust me, let me handle the negotiations."

As the black-robed man spoke, he stepped forward, attempting to approach the man.

Yet every step he took forward, the man took a step back, always maintaining a five-meter distance.

"Don’t come any closer."

Seeing he was almost backed into a corner, the man raised his bow.

The black-robed man stopped in his tracks, realizing pushing too hard wasn’t wise.

At this moment, Gu Xi noticed a detail — when the black-robed man got too close, the man’s eyes would temporarily lose focus.

Now Gu Xi understood, this man, as an archer, had integrated everything into his daily life.

He might not be unable to see anything within five meters, but at least his vision within five meters was impaired.

When looking at things within five meters, he needed to adjust his eyes.

Such adjustments not only hurt his eyes but also took time.

For an archer who is always on guard, a moment of time is critical.

That’s why he always keeps people at five meters away.

Beyond five meters, his arrows are fast and accurate.

The black-robed man obviously didn’t realize the man’s status was unstable, yet he took another step forward.

At this point, the retreating man immediately raised his bow.

In a flash, a golden light appeared and took the black-robed man away.

Gu Xi only felt a strong gust of wind blowing past.

By the time he realized it, the black-robed man had already been pinned to the wall behind Gu Xi.

Fortunately, the man knew now wasn’t the time for reckless actions; he only pinned the black-robed man’s clothes to the wall without injuring him.

His attitude was clear, he didn’t want to talk or have people enter his five-meter radius.

Seeing the situation, Gu Xi was a bit speechless.

He stepped back, pretending not to see what was happening here.

Watching Gu Xi’s reaction, the man’s expression clearly improved.

He was still quite polite to Gu Xi.

"Master, once I have the Thunderbird Feather, please accompany me.

Don’t worry, though we’re not strong, we are respectful people.

By assisting us with this, we’ll naturally present you with gifts, sure to satisfy you."

"I won’t stand on ceremony then."

Gu Xi replied with a smile, after all, banishing a ghost wasn’t much.

The black-robed man pinned to the wall began to resist.

"Guest, you can’t..."

Before he could finish, the man turned to glare at the black-robed man.

"Shut up."

With that glare, the black-robed man immediately shut his mouth.

He also realized that if he continued, the archer would silence him physically.

To ensure his survival.

The black-robed man obediently shut his mouth but continued struggling.

While shutting his mouth, he was still making efforts to pull out the arrows stuck in his clothing.

The man glanced at the black-robed man, as long as he didn’t approach nor block Gu Xi’s decision, there was no issue.

At this point, the man said to Gu Xi: "I am Li Gu, may I ask what to call you, master!"
