Myriad Realms Gatekeeper

Chapter 127: Chapter 119 Eternal Night City (Extra for the amazing little arrow!)

```

Come to think of it.

Perhaps Fei Lun's response moved the prince.

Could its origin really be that impressive?

—Adding to that, the prince knew he wouldn't betray his loyalty, a trustworthy subordinate, which is why he was so generous in his gesture.

"Your Highness, since I'm going to the Undead Kingdom, could you give me the flying technique in advance? This way I won't delay completing the mission while improving my strength,"

Shen Ye struck while the iron was hot.

"Are you sure you want this technique?" Prince Norton asked.

"Yes!"

"You don't want anything else, just this?"

"Exactly!"

"Take it!" Prince Norton reached behind and pulled out a Nightmare Crystal.

—So generous?

Shen Ye was almost reluctant to accept it.

But the prince patted his shoulder, unabashedly stating:

"All missions relating to the Undead Kingdom are S-level."

"This time, you'll be delving deep into the capital of the Undead Empire, an unprecedented feat for the Human Race. If successful, it will bring back invaluable intelligence, which is why it's SSS-level."

"—A mere flying technique, Peiqi, do you really think I'd be reluctant to give this away?"

Inspired by his words, Shen Ye gripped the Nightmare Crystal tightly and crushed it.

Crash.

The crystal shattered, a magnificent mist rose up, enveloping Shen Ye.

The cursing spells for flight, the way to channel spiritual power, skills for controlling airflow and dealing with strong winds, and so on—all appeared in his mind.

Success!

He had acquired the flying technique!

However, within this flying technique, there was a special reminder:

"Royal copyright, personal use only, malicious piracy will incur a curse!"

That wasn't an issue.

As Shen Ye memorized the essentials of the flying technique, he said:

"Your Highness, rest assured, if there's any intelligence, I'll definitely send it back."

"Good, just remember not to let the Undead see you when using the Magic Paper," Prince Norton cautioned.

"Come with me—"

Prince Norton led the two towards the other end of the secret chamber and pulled back the curtain.

A small Teleportation Array was revealed.

"A Teleportation Array? Where does it go?"

"The border."

Shen Ye and the giant skeleton exchanged glances.

"Together."

The three stood on the Teleportation Array and, with a "whoosh," they left the barracks.

The border.

With a "whoosh," the three appeared inside a cave.

Another Teleportation Array was inside the cave.

"This is as far as I can take you," Prince Norton said, "From this Array, you can directly teleport to the sewers beneath the capital of the Undead Empire, a mighty feat that we accomplished with great difficulty."

"The rest is up to you."

With a wave of his hand, the Array activated.

"Wait—"

Shen Ye called out.

"What is it?" Prince Norton asked.

"To be honest, Your Highness, why are you more anxious than us? And why would you even reveal such a confidential Teleportation Array? Is there a reason?" Shen Ye inquired.

Prince Norton looked at Shen Ye, hesitated for a few moments, then suddenly shook his head irritably.

Shen Ye's eyes widened.

What was going on with the always calm and composed prince?

"Peiqi, you've been through life and death with me; I suppose there's no need to hide it from you—"

Finally making up his mind, Prince Norton placed his hands on Shen Ye's shoulders and said solemnly:

"I have a traitor among my people, which is why I nearly perished."

"Now I suspect that a spy from the Undead has infiltrated the highest echelons of our Race, possibly even close to my father."

"You must find out the Undead's plans quickly!"

"Otherwise, I fear it might be too late!"

So that was it.

Shen Ye nodded, declaring earnestly, "Rest assured, Your Highness, I, Peiqi, will do my utmost!"

"Excellent," Prince Norton stepped aside.

Shen Ye, along with the giant skeleton, stood on the Teleportation Array.

"One more thing, what's a 'silly kid'?" the prince asked.

"It means really cool and incredibly handsome," Shen Ye explained with a sincere face.

A lie.

Get lost, will you.

The prince made a motion and activated the Array.

With a "whoosh," the two vanished.

Prince Norton stood before the Teleportation Array, deep in thought for a moment, then suddenly began cursing with a look of disdain.

"You're the 'silly kid'!"

He muttered to himself, "Of all the divine artifacts, precious gems, and divine skills we have in the Royal Family, you ask for just one flying technique."

"Truly loyal and patriotic!"

In a tone dripping with sarcasm, he vented all his irritation at being called a "silly kid."

Elsewhere.

In the Dark Soul Empire, Eternal Night City.

The sewers.

A flash of light.

Shen Ye landed firmly on the ground.

This was indeed the sewers beneath the Undead capital.

Foul green liquid churned above, grey skeletons filled the walls and occasionally crumbled into powder.

Standing on a step to the side, Shen Ye could see countless resentful spirits wandering through the void.

"Now comes the difficult part."

Said the giant skeleton.

The moment the teleportation was complete, it had already returned to Shen Ye's ring, now only communicating with Shen Ye through telepathy.

"Why?" Shen Ye asked.

```

"Because the human teleportation point has long been exposed, I've seen plans for this situation on secret reports," the Skeleton Commander said.

Shen Ye didn't hesitate to place his hand on the wall, saying quickly,

"Then shall I go?"

The Skeleton Commander's tone suddenly became profound,

"No need, now recite the following sentence with me, remember, do not miss a single word."

Shen Ye shrugged his shoulders.

—This is the domain of the undead, maybe the Skeleton Commander has some special way to solve the problem?

So, he followed the telepathy of the Skeleton Commander, reciting together,

"The bloodline of the Mother of Dark Skeletons, the King of Ghouls, the Underworld Lord Miket Tikaxiwa has not vanished; he has returned, and he will take control of the situation once more."

As the words faded.

Shadowy figures began to emerge in the void around them.

Seven armored skeletons, each holding sharp lances, completely surrounded Shen Ye.

They were inches away from thrusting their lances forward.

But Shen Ye had recited that sentence.

The skeletons stopped their hands.

One of the leading skeletons shouted, "You are not that son of the bloodline!"

The Skeleton Commander's voice rose in Shen Ye's ear, and Shen Ye continued as instructed,

"I have been to the lands of the human race, and I have returned alive; do you think I would come back without any disguise?"

The skeletons looked at each other, puzzled.

Suddenly, a thick, pale flame rose from Shen Ye, condensing into a faintly visible altar in mid-air.

At this, all the skeletons fell to their knees.

"Your Excellency, the situation is dire, you better hide. Leave this to us to handle," the leading skeleton said.

"Move now—head east, we're going to the Street of Lost Souls!" commanded the Skeleton Commander telepathically.

Shen Ye turned and left immediately, quickly distancing himself from the skeletons. When he turned the corner 300 meters away, he looked back and saw the skeletons still kneeling in their original spots.

"Impressive, buddy, your status seems quite remarkable," Shen Ye remarked jokingly.

"Don't let your guard down, among those skeletons there might be believers of the New God. You need to find a way to disguise yourself to avoid being tracked," the Skeleton Commander said.

"That's easy to manage."

Shen Ye donned the Death Camouflage Cloak and in a shapeshift, became a pale, tall figure dressed in a black evening suit, a vampire.

A wide-brimmed hat fell, which he caught.

"What's this hat?" Shen Ye asked.

"My treasure, it can conceal your face," the Skeleton Commander replied.

Shen Ye put on the black wide-brimmed hat.

His face was immediately hidden in the shadow of the wide-brimmed hat, turned into a black plane.

"Having the right race is enough, but not the identity—you must run even faster, we need to immediately retrieve the secret item stored! We're running out of time!" the Skeleton Commander urged.

"His Royal Highness the Prince seems underprepared."

"Of course, now it's time for my preparations! Move faster!"

After a few rapid paces, Shen Ye suddenly soared into the air, flying along the twisting, changing underground passages.

The wind howled in his ears, and everything along the way quickly receded into the distance.

—He was flying!

As fast as lightning, he flew!

"Don't miss it," the giant skeleton shouted, "at that intersection up ahead, open the manhole cover on the ceiling and jump up!"

Shen Ye slowed down progressively and finally stopped in front of the manhole cover.

He hovered mid-air and casually struck with his palm.

Thud.

The manhole cover was sent flying.

He flew up, looked around, and found himself in a small garden at the center of a magnificent building.

The building was entirely made of black skeletons, like a giant towering in the center of the city, but each layer of skeletal wall was densely packed with windows, which revealed it to be a structure rather than a corpse.

The cover fell, caught by Shen Ye, who then gently placed it back on the ground.

He took out a coat from his storage ring and covered his cloak, hiding it from view.

"The fifth door on the left, go straight in, show your key to the person inside—don't say a word."

Shen Ye quickly walked to the front of the building, counted to the fifth door from the left, and went in.

Sure enough, a werewolf wearing gold-wire glasses was waiting inside.

"Holy Soul Bank VIP service at your service."

The werewolf bowed slightly in greeting.

Shen Ye felt a small key appear in his hand.

Without a word, he directly presented the key in front of the other's eyes.

"Ah, a distinguished customer, please follow me."

The werewolf stepped forward, first closing the door, then pulling three Skeleton Gates to seal it off, and only then leading Shen Ye further inside.

"Sir, I'm not sure if someone is pursuing you, nor am I aware of what sort of conspiracy you might carry, but based on the key you've shown—"

The werewolf spoke quickly while walking:

"You may stay in your private storage room for up to three minutes; this is our security promise."

"Of course, you can knock on the red runes on the wall at any time, and the Teleportation Array will immediately transfer you out at random."

"If you stay for three minutes, you will also be immediately transferred. Please be very mindful of the time!"

Shen Ye still didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

The two stopped in front of a black metal door.

The werewolf recited a long spell, then placed his hand on the door.

Rumble rumble—

Inside the black metal door, it seemed as if something immense was rotating ceaselessly, until at last, all sounds disappeared.

"Storage room number 7134."

The door opened.

The werewolf once again admonished:

"This is your storage room; please make sure to use your time wisely!"

Shen Ye nodded slightly and went straight in.

The black metal door immediately closed.

"We don't have three minutes, at most only one minute—because my true body has appeared again, and this is absolutely the most crucial matter for the entire kingdom; you must hurry and open that storage cabinet!"

The giant skeleton urged anxiously.

Shen Ye inserted the key into the lock and gave it a hard twist, and the cabinet immediately opened.

Inside, a large stack of parchments lay quietly.

Looking at these parchments, Shen Ye felt a series of strange sensations emerge within him.

For some reason.

He always felt that these objects seemed to have some kind of strange power fluctuation, very familiar.
