Chapter 597: Chapter 564: A Common Enemy, Hitting It Off Immediately

Around the same time Arno and Mephit were breaking out of prison,

Li Wei met the fourth Deadpool—Dark Wind "Trace."

Trace appeared as a young man who was skilled in Dark Magic and could transform into a Demon.

While obtaining the Goddess’s Tears in Storm City, Li Wei encountered the fifth Deadpool—the Undying Ghost "Elizabeth."

Elizabeth was a Ghost who looked like a noblewoman and possessed the ability to create clones.

As long as a single clone existed, Elizabeth could not die.

Elizabeth’s clones shared a soul, allowing them to transmit information between one another.

The sixth Deadpool was Death Soul Blood Sea Kleis.

Ironically, this was the Deadpool Li Wei had encountered the earliest.

However, he had never realized that the Thousand-Year Blood Pool was an Undead Creature.

Led by Savinia, Li Wei arrived at the center of the Death Sky Curtain.

He saw a massive Blood Lake, over a kilometer in diameter.

Many Bone Dragons, each twenty to thirty meters long, lingered at the edge of the Blood Lake.

GURGLE GURGLE!

Large bubbles rose from within the Blood Lake.

A newly born Bone Dragon slowly emerged from the depths of the Blood Lake.

Li Wei took a deep look at the Blood Lake.

’Oh, no,’ he thought. ’I should call it Death Soul Blood Sea Kleis.’

If the Mountain Giant Beast Mephit was the aircraft carrier the Legendary Witch Lich built to transport the Undead,

then Death Soul Blood Sea Kleis was undoubtedly his super-armory.

Every Bone Dragon that emerged from the Sea of Dead Souls was Level Tier Six.

As far as the eye could see, the Legendary Witch Lich had already created over a hundred Tier Six Bone Dragons.

WHOOSH!

A fierce wind swept through, scattering the surrounding aura of death.

A colossal figure came into Li Wei’s view.

Before him was an enormous Bone Dragon over a hundred meters long.

Compared to this Bone Dragon, the twenty-meter-long ones on the ground looked like mere children.

Seeing the newcomer, Savinia called out happily, "Diou, let me introduce you. This is Li Wei, the successor our master has chosen."

"Li Wei, Diou is the strongest of the Twelve Deadpool."

Li Wei gazed at the massive Bone Dragon before him, sensing a Legendary Level aura from it.

A Legendary Level Bone Dragon.

The leader of the Twelve Deadpool.

The Bone Dragon Diou glanced at Li Wei, not paying much mind to his identity.

Nominally, he was one of the Legendary Witch Lich’s Deadpool.

However, Diou was different from the other Deadpool. He was not an Undead Creature created by the Legendary Witch Lich.

The Bone Dragon Diou was an Undead Creature from the Netherworld.

He had only become a Deadpool after signing a contract with the Legendary Witch Lich.

In the Netherworld, his name alone was enough to make even the Undead tremble in fear.

The Death Horror Skeleton Dragon!

The giant skeleton dragon that spread death.

The Death Horror Skeleton Dragon Diou spared Li Wei a glance before turning and leaving.

He disappeared into the Death Sky Curtain.

He had merely sensed a human aura within the Death Sky Curtain, which had made him curious.

That was why he had appeared before Li Wei.

Upon learning Li Wei’s identity and realizing he wasn’t an enemy, Diou naturally left.

Savinia watched the Bone Dragon depart and said with regret, "Diou is the leader of our Twelve Deadpool. If you could earn his acknowledgment, you would gain a formidable power."

Li Wei glanced at the figure disappearing into the gray mist.

He chuckled and said, "Heh, it’s nothing."

If he hadn’t yet become a Legendary Mage, he might have hoped for the aid of a Legendary Level powerhouse.

But now, Diou was nothing special in Li Wei’s eyes.

’I’ve fought an Evil God before.’

’A mere Legendary Level Bone Dragon isn’t even worth my attention.’

Li Wei looked down at the Blood Lake, searching for the Legendary Witch Lich.

Prompted by Savinia, Li Wei saw the figure standing in the center of the Blood Lake.

As soon as he saw the Legendary Witch Lich, Li Wei immediately noticed the aura on him that seemed utterly out of place.

Li Wei descended toward the center of the Blood Lake.

SPLASH SPLASH!

The bloody water churned, as if something was about to burst out from beneath the surface.

A moment later, the Blood Lake returned to calm.

Li Wei landed safely on the surface of the Blood Lake.

Gazing at the figure before him, Li Wei was momentarily unsure how to address him.

’Master?’

He still felt a bit awkward about it.

Li Wei only recognized Torresta as his master.

Even though Torresta was just a clone separated from the Legendary Witch Lich, he was ultimately different from the original.

Seeing Li Wei’s silence, the Legendary Witch Lich turned around.

When Li Wei saw the face beneath the brim of his hood, he was astonished.

This was the first time he had ever seen the Legendary Witch Lich’s true face.

In the past, the Legendary Witch Lich always appeared in a cloak.

His true features were never clear.

His appearance was completely different from that of an ordinary Witch Lich.

He looked no different from a real human.

The bodies of ordinary Witch Liches were usually unhealthy—sallow and emaciated, or even deathly pale. This was all normal.

For a Witch Lich, the body was already dead, merely a vessel for the soul.

Changing bodies was as frequent and simple as changing clothes.

If a body wasn’t meticulously maintained, it would easily necrotize.

Since a necrotized body didn’t affect the Witch Lich itself, many simply waited until their current body rotted away before getting a new one.

The Legendary Witch Lich’s body, however, looked like that of a living person, not a corpse at all.

Looking at the somewhat familiar face opposite him, Li Wei was silent for a long while before finally calling out, "Teacher."

No matter what, the Legendary Witch Lich could be considered Li Wei’s teacher, more or less.

There was no harm in calling him "Teacher."

’I can’t exactly call him ’Father-in-law,’ can I?’

The Legendary Witch Lich nodded. "Mm, you’re here."

"Saint Xi... How is she?"

The very first thing the Legendary Witch Lich asked about was his beloved daughter, who was constantly on his mind.

Hearing this, Li Wei smiled and said, "Saint Xi is currently receiving the Holy Dragon Inheritance. Once she completes it, she’ll likely break through directly to Tier Eight."

"She’s even stronger than you are now."

The Legendary Witch Lich didn’t get angry at this. Instead, a happy smile spread across his face.

"That’s good."

"It seems you found the Time Dragon’s treasure," the Legendary Witch Lich said.

Li Wei sighed emotionally. "Yes, the treasure hunt had its twists and turns, but thankfully, it paid off in the end."

A curious look appeared on the Legendary Witch Lich’s face. "Oh? What happened?"

Li Wei began to tell the Legendary Witch Lich everything, starting from their journey to the Snowfield.

The Legendary Witch Lich listened intently, like a good student.

He placed immense importance on anything related to Saint Xi.

Li Wei recounted their story from the Snowfield all the way to the Endless Sea.

He told the Legendary Witch Lich everything he and Saint Xi had experienced, down to the last detail.

The Legendary Witch Lich was delighted to hear that Saint Xi had experienced so much.

"So the Saint Dragon King was hiding in the Endless Sea. No wonder the Demon Dragon King couldn’t find him."

"You mentioned Sea Abyss City. Is that a city left behind by the ancient Merfolk Race?" the Legendary Witch Lich asked.

Li Wei nodded. "It should be."

The Legendary Witch Lich nodded thoughtfully. "Then it’s no wonder. That’s likely how the Saint Dragon King was able to hide for so long."

Li Wei looked at the Legendary Witch Lich, complaining inwardly.

’The Saint Dragon King is his father-in-law, for crying out loud.’

’But this guy... he doesn’t call him ’Father-in-law’ once, just ’Saint Dragon King’ over and over, without a shred of emotion.’

’As if he were talking about a complete stranger.’

After catching up with the Legendary Witch Lich, Li Wei quickly told him the purpose of his visit.

"I came here this time because I promised the Elemental Tower I would make the Death Sky Curtain disappear for a while..."

After hearing him out, the Legendary Witch Lich said, "If the Death Sky Curtain disappears, the Elemental Tower will definitely use a large-scale Forbidden Curse Technique to attack the Undead Army."

"Their real goal is to destroy the Undead Army. Once all the Undead are wiped out, the Death Sky Curtain will naturally vanish."

Li Wei had already prepared his argument before he came.

"Teacher, you started the Undead Calamity for the sake of revenge, correct?"

Hearing this, the Legendary Witch Lich said, "That’s right."

Li Wei said, "As long as you get your revenge, it doesn’t matter whether you have the Undead Army or not, right?"

The Legendary Witch Lich looked at him for a moment before replying, "Do you know who I want revenge on?"

The corner of Li Wei’s mouth curved up. "We have a common enemy."

"The Jade Prince!"

The Legendary Witch Lich gave Li Wei a deep look and said, "What have you found out?"

While Li Wei was in the Endless Sea searching for the Saint Dragon King, the clone Torresta had spent a month gathering information through various channels. He finally learned the full details of the hunt for the Wind Poison Dragon in the Poison Dragon Cave, and also made an unexpectedly crucial discovery.
