"How could a player with a title be mixed up in a sinister crew?"

Gu Xi at the rear of the group heard this voice and couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.

What sort of situation is this?

Could it be that the players of Qiufeng City have already mingled with the local sinister forces?

Thinking of this, Gu Xi raised an eyebrow, realizing he couldn’t allow the local demons and sinister forces any chance to recover.

The assault on them needed to intensify further.

Gu Xi stared in the direction from which the group appeared, making a decision in his heart.

"Clean up the battlefield. Extract the player’s corpse and see if it carries anything important. Discard the other bodies to prepare for summoning. Red Dragon, fly in the direction they came from and check if there’s an enemy stronghold nearby."

At Gu Xi’s command, the Undead who had just finished the coup de grâce moved swiftly into action.

They quickly dragged the bodies aside, having rifled through them for useful items during the process.

This behavior had become second nature under Gu Xi’s command.

Initially, Gu Xi would immediately use the Soul Summoning Skill during battle.

But post-battle, Gu Xi found this method of summoning was simple, but wasteful.

The bodies that appeared on the streets at night often had a bit of sinister aura on them.

Whether dealing with sinister entities during the day or searching for treasures, one needed information extracted from these traces.

At first, Gu Xi would directly transform the bodies into the Undead, although it was fast, much information was lost.

Now things have changed.

Now Gu Xi can fully clean up the battlefield, gather everything needed, and then proceed with the summoning.

This way, he wouldn’t miss out on any information, and it would enhance the summoning effect after the bodies were duly processed.

Following Gu Xi’s orders, the Undead quickly got to work.

They soon had all the bodies sorted and organized.

The player named Wu Tianyou, having died when the sinister force was deployed, went unnoticed by the Undead, treated simply as an ordinary corpse and set aside.

However, the offering from the sedan earlier was dragged out separately.

Interestingly, this offering was also a sinister entity, albeit weaker and unlucky for not reaching the Celestial Dao White-robed Great Guanyin Statue before nightfall.

Thus, she was captured by the night demons.

It turned out that this sinister entity had some peculiar powers, befitting the nearby Demon Corps, and over time, she became the core of that force.

This time, she was merely launching an assault as usual.

Her name is Blood Courtesan.

It’s a kind of sinister entity resembling a self-offering.

Anyone who accepts the offering must fulfill the wish proposed by the offering at the time of acceptance and will lose a portion of their power or forces upon leaving.

You could say accepting this offering turns one into the blood courtesan’s hapless victim, losing not only what they gained but themselves as well.

Consequently, the demon force controlling the Blood Courtesan had expanded significantly and even captured territory, preparing to establish its dominion.

Gu Xi didn’t know all this; his Underlings glanced at Blood Courtesan and placed the corpse aside separately.

Once the Undead were done, Gu Xi glanced at the line of corpses on the ground.

With a nod of satisfaction, he pointed at the bodies.

"Soul Summoning Skill!"

With the Soul Summoning Skill, countless white dots of light flew from Gu Xi’s hand, descending into the bodies.

Simultaneously, a notification of successful summoning reached Gu Xi’s ears.

[You successfully used the Soul Summoning Skill and have summoned a Zombie (Level 2), Soul Summoning Skill Experience +1.]

[You used...]

Seeing the popped-up messages, Gu Xi was quite pleased, as nothing delighted an Undead Mage more than increasing the number of Undead under their command.

At that moment, a different message abruptly appeared before Gu Xi.

[You successfully used the Soul Summoning Skill, and have summoned a Special Undead (Level 2), Soul Summoning Skill Experience +3.]

Special Undead, with Soul Summoning Skill Experience directly +3? What’s going on?

A trace of confusion crossed Gu Xi’s mind.

He looked toward the direction where the message had popped up.

Before he could even see that Special Undead, a similar message appeared again.

[You successfully used the Soul Summoning Skill and have acquired a Special Undead (Blood Courtesan, Level 2), Soul Summoning Skill Experience +1.]

This message left Gu Xi speechless.

Yet another Special Undead, but this time the information of the Undead was provided.

Seeing the white-robed, pale-faced female zombie, Gu Xi immediately knew she was the Special Undead, Blood Courtesan.

[Special Undead: Blood Courtesan (Level 2)

Can Garrison Buildings: Brothel, Flower House, Tavern

Trait Influences:

Blood Tribute: As the star of the brothel or flower house, the Blood Courtesan is always contested over, but those who take her will invariably encounter various misfortunes and ultimately repay everything at the cost of life.

Spy: As the top figure in the brothel or flower house, the Blood Courtesan can gather a lot of intelligence. She can provide one piece of information daily, but she cannot be directed to gather intelligence on a specific person or force.

Assassin: As the brothel or flower house’s top figure, the Blood Courtesan can quietly and silently assassinate key individuals. Once she takes action, however, she will be chased, so make sure to protect her.]

[Note: This is an Undead transformed from the sinister entity. Please note that you only killed this sinister at night.]

Reading this note, Gu Xi felt a bit dumbfounded. So, killing a sinister at night doesn’t count as killing?

Is it possible you kill them at night, but have to kill them again during the day?

In truth, Gu Xi was overthinking it; this world didn’t follow such a logic of needing to be killed once at night and once during the daytime.

Only that the sinister power doesn’t remain in the body when killed at night, automatically transferring to similar entities.

If similar entities are also nearly wiped out, it will transfer to entities of the same type.

This explanation merely presents this concept.

Unaware of this, Gu Xi read the explanation and murmured to himself.

He then sent the Blood Courtesan to the Barmaid. Didn’t her abilities permit setting up in a brothel, flower house, or tavern? Let the Barmaid handle her then.

Meanwhile, Gu Xi’s gaze shifted to the other Undead, intrigued about the whereabouts of the other Special Undead. Why did all the Undead look the same?
