While Gu Xi was examining the attributes of the White Bone Obelisk, far away in the conference room of the City Lord’s Mansion in Bailian City, Mr. Guo, who was discussing matters with some people there, suddenly changed his expression and spat a mouthful of blood onto the face of the player opposite him.

The player opposite was also a noble family offspring, whose level and status could not compare to Mr. Guo.

Seeing this situation, he didn’t bother to blame Mr. Guo for spraying him with blood, and rushed directly to Mr. Guo to help him up.

"Mr. Guo, what happened to you?"

"It’s nothing. I got slightly injured last time while completing a game task, and I’m still not fully recovered. Xiaozhou, I’m afraid I can’t help you with this matter now, I might need some rest."

The player holding Mr. Guo immediately showed an understanding expression, helped Mr. Guo to sit down on a chair next to him, and then turned around to leave the room.

After Xiaozhou left, Mr. Guo’s expression changed again, and he took out the genuine White Bone Obelisk from his bosom.

At this moment, beneath the White Bone Obelisk lay a piece of Purple Armor that had already lost its shine.

Simultaneously, there was a very noticeable crack on the White Bone Obelisk.

The practice of placing Purple Armor below the White Bone Obelisk to separate the obelisk’s copy and temporary usage rights is a small technique developed by the noble families in Bailian City for their descendants’ use.

Throughout the history, every controller of the White Bone Obelisk would use this method at critical times.

Even the City Lord of Bailian City was aware of this.

He had no way to stop it, only being able to subtly hint at several points.

One point is that they must supply their own Purple Armor, the situation should not be blown out of proportion, and when Bailian City needs it, the White Bone Obelisk must be usable.

Over the years, although the noble families in Bailian City had some incidents, nothing like this had happened regarding Orange Armor.

Looking at the cracked White Bone Obelisk before him, Mr. Guo’s face turned grim.

He understood that his grandson wouldn’t be coming back, and the White Bone Obelisk copy that Guo Yuanxin took had also been snatched away.

If it were just this, it wouldn’t be much, but the most crucial point now is that someone tampered with the White Bone Obelisk copy, attempting to switch the copy with the genuine one.

This was what caused Mr. Guo to spit out blood.

Currently, the genuine White Bone Obelisk is still in his hands, but the crack will continue to grow.

If the White Bone Obelisk is destroyed, the copy will become genuine.

At that time, he would become the first person to lose Orange Armor.

Thinking of this, Mr. Guo couldn’t sit still.

He well understands what he has been doing recently, and also knows whose hands the White Bone Obelisk copy ended up in.

He must kill Gu Xi before Gu Xi completely takes the White Bone Obelisk.

Previously targeting Gu Xi was for the Orange Armor, now targeting Gu Xi is for the lives of himself and his family.

In his view, Gu Xi is already a dead man.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi knows nothing about all this.

Actually, even if he knew, he wouldn’t care.

To Gu Xi, at worst, he could just go to the real world and apply for a graduate or doctoral program or something.

A twist of fate beyond Level 20, he truly never paid much attention to those noble families in Bailian City.

Right now, Gu Xi is more concerned about his level.

The three Daoists who died at Gu Xi’s hand earlier were precisely his task targets this time.

Previously, Gu Xi was more focused on the matters concerning the White Bone Obelisk.

Now that the issue of the White Bone Obelisk has been clarified, Gu Xi naturally needs to consider his advancement.

[You have completed the Professional Advancement Task: Longhu Horn]

[Task Requirements: Kill three Immortals (3/3) or Protect Demon Dragon of Longhu Horn Undying (1/1)]

[Task Reward: Death Witch Lord advances to Lord of the Underworld.]

[You have advanced to Lord of the Underworld, level cap unlocked, your level has increased.]

[Your level has risen to Level 10, fully restoring Life and Magic Power, clearing all adverse statuses, Perception +1, and choose two skills from the following five as reward.]

[Mysterious Academy rewards clone activation.]

[Please choose clone direction!]

As information popped out one after another, Gu Xi also shifted his focus to the choices after advancing.

[Ghost Gate Opening: Exclusive skill for Lord of the Underworld, upgradable, consumes 300 Mana points, opens the Yellow Springs Road and Ghost Gate, releasing countless wandering spirits from within (equivalent to Undead Mage’s mastery of Undead Calamity, but stronger in effect and without needing to set up an Undead Calamity Array like an Undead Mage).]

[Death Magic Pool: Exclusive skill for Death Witch Lord, upgradable, consumes 200 Mana points and 20 Necromancers, constructs a temporary magic pool at a specified location, magic pool boosts undead type spell attack effects by 200%, all undead type mage mana recovery rate increases by 300%.]

[Ice Ripple: Combined skill, upgradable, Death Ripple Level 4+ and Ring of Harsh Winter Level 3+, consumes 30 Mana points, performs an all-round strike on a range of battlefield, enemies not dead under Death Ripple will be frozen for 5 seconds.]

[Earth-to-Corpse: Professional skill, upgradable, consumes 1 Mana point, automatically generates a usable corpse at a designated location, corpse level equals Undead Enhancement Level.]

[Undead Flower: Professional skill, upgradable, consumes 1 Mana point, in a designated range sprouts ten to fifteen flowers with Undead Attribute, flowers affect the surrounding environment, and can devour bodies or souls.]

Gu Xi carefully researched each of the five displayed skills before him.

Among these five skills, the one that immediately caught Gu Xi’s eye was naturally Ghost Gate Opening.

Though Gu Xi wasn’t sure which Ghost Gate is being referred to.

But he understood, it’s a solo privilege version of Undead Calamity.

It’s also the best among these five skills.

Talking aside, Gu Xi has seen the effects of Undead Calamity.

The previous Undead Calamity Array, Gu Xi remembers vividly.

Back then, even such a powerful Gu Xi was merely part of the Undead Calamity Array, yet the released number of undead wasn’t too many.

It couldn’t even compare to the current military strength inside Yalidov City.

Thus having such a Ghost Gate Opening ability now is the optimal choice for Gu Xi.

Most importantly, when Gu Xi saw this capability, he thought of the door-sealing situation he faced with Death City this time.

If he had possessed the Ghost Gate Opening ability at that time, not to mention the doors of Death City being sealed, even if Death City itself was sealed, Gu Xi could still drag out another troop.

Wouldn’t need Luna’s support like before to get through that hurdle.

Therefore, upon seeing the options presented, Gu Xi immediately chose Ghost Gate Opening.
