Chapter 815: 815
Chapter 815: Saving The Earth Sword
As they entered the cathedral, a thick stench of blood and burnt flesh rushed into his nose .
Gu Qing Shan scowled and looked around .
Every wall was full of evil creatures that still haven’t completely sunk inside, still struggling to escape .
They couldn’t die so they could only struggle forever within the flow of constant lava .
The evil creatures all had pained and desperate expressions on their faces with their mouths opened wide, trying to scream .
But they couldn’t utter a single sound .
The cathedral had taken away their voices as well .
This terrifying silent spectacle could be seen on every wall of the cathedral no matter where one looked .
The middle-aged devil noticed Gu Qing Shan’s gaze and smiled: 「 The ones that like to play things sneakily never end up well, what do you think? 」
“A day without doing sneaky things is a day of torture for every fiend and devil” Gu Qing Shan replied .
「 Very few know themselves as well as you do, sir Ruler 」
As they talked, a fiend covered in scales stopped in front of a wall .
He looked at it in surprise and called out: 『 Old friend, why are you here? 』
Across from him was a devil whose entire body had already sunk into the wall, leaving only his limbs and head sticking out .
「 Big bro, save me, please get me out of here quick! 」the devil called for help .
『 This place is the lava cathedral, my hands are tied 』
「 Please beg the Lord of Total Distortion for me, as long as he is willing to let me go, I will offer everything I have! 」
『 Everything you have? Hm, you mean your goods… that’s a good idea…』
The fiend showed a greedy expression before quickly leaving the cathedral .
It seems this fiend knew exactly where the devil kept his goods .
Quite a few fiends and devils were walking in the cathedral, in fact, there were so many that it seemed more like a marketplace, but no one paid any attention to this .
Gu Qing Shan also didn’t react at all and just followed the middle-aged devil through the hall, down a long hallway and up a flight of stairs leading to a higher floor before arriving at a small room .
The room was small, but it was perfectly equipped with all necessities, including a miniature wall fireplace .
「 Here is the private room that is specifically reserved for Rulers 」
The middle-aged devil clapped his hand .
A full course meal immediately appeared on the table together with a large ice box containing 7-8 bottles of liquor .
The middle-aged devil respectfully spoke: 「 You must have traveled a long way from the Xie Qi Fiend Realm to reach this place, please have a rest for now . There is one other Ruler who came before you; after sir Appraiser finishes with him, he shall come to you 」
“I’ll trouble you then” Gu Qing Shan nodded .
He walked up to the table, randomly picked one of the bottles, opened it, and poured himself a glass .
The Appraiser of the Chaos Demonic Sea was extremely famous, he was known for only serving Ruler-class fiends and devils, an exceptional master of Mystic-type abilities .
Since there was another Ruler who came before me, let’s simply wait .
The middle-age devil smiled and closed the door as he backed out from the room .
Not too long later .
When Gu Qing Shan was having his 5th glass of liquor, a knock could be heard from the door .
“Please come in”
Gu Qing Shan placed the glass down .
The door opened .
An old man with a clear and elegant bearing entered .
——after reaching a high enough level, most evil creatures liked to disguise themselves as humans to conceal their original race and identity .
Taking human form saved a lot of space, and from experience alone, most found that using the human form to communicate made things a lot more smooth .
Turning into a human was also an advanced technique that only high-leveled evil creatures can truly grasp .
「 Welcome, Xie Qi Fiend King, your battle was truly exceptional . If I hadn’t seen you use Elemental Lightning, I would’ve thought you were human」 the old man smiled and told him .
Gu Qing Shan only smiled back without saying anything .
—–you can’t lie here .
The old man then asked: 「 So, why have you come to the Chaos Demonic Sea right after obtaining two evil realms?」
“Venerable Appraiser, I came to issue a mission” Gu Qing Shan replied .
Hearing that, the old man said without much interest: 「 Ah, a mission? That much is simple, I will order someone below for that」
Gu Qing Shan replied: “I’m afraid this matter might need you to personally issue”
He took out a small bag and tossed it to him .
The old man received the bag, estimated the weight a bit, and smiled as he replied: 「 Considering how heavy it is, I believe your mission to be not quite as simple as I expected . Please tell me briefly, what kind of mission do you wish to issue?」
“Saving a weapon spirit” Gu Qing Shan replied .
Gu Qing Shan took out a long rectangular box and lightly placed it on the table .
He placed his hand on the box and spoke in a low voice: “There is a dying weapon spirit inside that will soon lose its life completely . I want to know if there are any fiends or devils with a unique power that could repair it”
The old man was suddenly a lot more interested and muttered: 「 So that’s how it is . Weapon spirits are originally rare, so even I don’t have much experience with saving them——- such a mission is indeed hard to come by, it is worth me trying once」
He then chanted an incantation: 「 Mystic Investigation Table of Contents, manifest」
Poof!
A large book appeared out of nowhere and hovered in front of them .
This was the Appraiser’s famous personal Mystic-type ability .
「 Place your hand on the book and state your request」 the old man said .

Gu Qing Shan then placed his hand on the cover of the large book and spoke: “I want to save my weapon”
The book didn’t move or let out any sound .
The old man regretfully told him: 「 It seems there isn’t a single fiend or devil within the Chaos Demonic Sea that has an ability to save weapons」
“I can take one step back and issue a simpler request” Gu Qing Shan said .
「 That is?」 the old man asked .
“To temporarily maintain my weapon in its current state so it doesn’t die” Gu Qing Shan answered .
The old man nodded and gestured for him to continue .
At this point, Gu Qing Shan was extremely anxious .
The Earth sword only has 1 day left to live .
If there isn’t even a way to prolong its death, then it’s all over .
Gu Qing Shan took a deep breath, placed his hand on the thick book, and said: “I want to delay this weapon’s death and make it so that it doesn’t completely break yet”
The thick book didn’t move at all .
One breath’s worth of time later .
The book suddenly trembled heavily .
Boom!
The book knocked Gu Qing Shan’s hand away and flipped through page after page until it finally stopped at a certain spot .
This was a completely blank page, but the old man still smiled .
「 It seems there was still an evil creature who could do that」 he said .
“Really?” Gu Qing Shan was glad .
「 Indeed, let me check who has such an ability, please wait for a moment」
The old man pulled out a goose feather quill and put the tip against the blank page .
As soon as the quill touched the page, it jumped and began to scribble out more details .
Gu Qing Shan couldn’t understand what the quill was writing at all .
After the quill finished writing, the old man read the content of the page and muttered: 「 Black Bone Witch King, Mystic-type ability, [Death Suspension]」
“Where is there Black Bone Witch King now?” Gu Qing Shan immediately asked .
The old man had a strange expression on his face and replied: 「 You probably don’t know, but he is the same as I, we are both subordinates of the master」
「 He isn’t part of the business administration like me, but rather the combat sector . Without the master’s expressed permission, he cannot act at all 」
“What do you mean?” Gu Qing Shan asked .
「 Come with me to meet the master, only after the master agrees can this transaction be completed 」the old man told him .

Gu Qing Shan was a bit surprised .
Meet the Lord of Total Distortion?
Even the Blood Demon Duke and Holy Pure Priestess didn’t want to associate with this terrifying Lord .
The old man continued: 「 In consideration of your generosity, I will give you a suggestion . Prepare enough payment, because if the master isn’t happy with your offer, you will become another decoration on the cathedral’s wall 」
Gu Qing Shan muses: “How much payment would be considered enough?”
The old man replied: 「 I can only give you a frame of reference . There was an evil creature who came here with 12 large ships full of Soul Blood Gems to ask the master for a single request, that evil creature is still hanging out on the outside wall of the cathedral right now 」
“…” Gu Qing Shan .
He came with some of the most precious materials within the two evil realms in his possession, but because he left in such a hurry, there were still many things that he didn’t bring——— two evil realms weren’t small .
Then, what would actually be considered enough payment?
He silently asked himself .
Seeing that, the old man told him: 「 Have you thought this through? If you give up on your request now, I won’t report this to the master and you won’t need to risk anything, all you need to do is pay the consultation fees 」
Gu Qing Shan replied: “Please make the request for me”
The old man nodded: 「 Very well, please wait here 」
He pushed open the door and left .
A few moments later .
A knocking could be heard from the door .
『 Xie Qi Ruler? 』someone asked .
“I am here” Gu Qing Shan replied .
The door was opened .
Two beautiful fiends wearing uniforms stood on either side of the door .
They both bowed towards Gu Qing Shan and smiled: 『 The master has been informed of your request, please follow me 』
Gu Qing Shan followed them outside .
But the scene outside the door had completely changed .
At some point, the run-down flight of stairs and empty hallways outside this room had both disappeared .
Instead, it was now a luxurious large hall .
A beautiful carpet was laid on the ground .
The smell of fresh flowers filled the entire hall .
There wasn’t a single wall around the hall, only the vast expanse of the ocean on all sides .
The howling rain and storm winds were still rampaging outside, but none of it could make it inside .

Gu Qing Shan could even see two faint figures wrestling one another on the surface of the faraway ocean .
They were two Demonic Sea creatures .
Ooo———–
Both Demonic Sea creatures were roaring full of madness and killing intent .
Gu Qing Shan suddenly realized .
At some unknown point, the room he was staying in had moved to the top of the cathedral .
This was the palace of the Lord of Total Distortion .
Gu Qing Shan followed the two beautiful women forward until they reached the end of a long series of stairs leading upwards .
A devil with a powerful aura was already waiting here .
On top of the stairs, another evil Ruler was carefully climbing each step .
——the final step was obscured by an invisible barrier that prevented anyone from probing inside .
『 Please wait for a few moments, there were two other Rulers who requested an audience with the master before you 』
The two female fiends smiled at Gu Qing Shan and stepped down .
Gu Qing Shan waited together with the other evil Ruler at the bottom of the stairs .
He glanced at the evil Ruler .
The devil’s expression was completely pale with sweat all over his face, apparently very stressed .
「 What are you asking for? 」the evil Ruler asked .
“Something related to my weapon, what about you?” Gu Qing Shan returned the question .
「 A problem with my body 」the evil Ruler replied .
Both of them nodded and said nothing else .
They both realized something .
———no one could tell a lie here .
So it was best that they didn’t talk at all .
Otherwise, they were going to expose everything about themselves .
