Chapter 1 Angel's Fall

At the headquarters of the Angel's Fall guild, the undead thief resurrected and returned to report to Duo Duo.

"Guild Leader, I was about to greet him when he rushed up and insta-killed me..." the undead thief began to badmouth Nie Yan to Duo Duo.

Duo Duo stared at him coldly. He stopped mid-sentence.

"Did you switch to Lawful Good before encountering him, as I instructed?" Duo Duo said in a deep voice.

The undead thief lowered his head. He had indeed forgotten. Duo Duo had asked him to meet Nie Yan but hadn't clearly explained the whole situation, nor had he asked him to trade anything with Nie Yan. He simply had him guide Nie Yan to a nearby village. He didn't understand the importance of the matter and thought it was a trivial task, so he had been negligent.

"Leave all your equipment behind. You can get out," Duo Duo said coldly.

"Why?!" The undead thief looked at Duo Duo with a hint of resentment. He didn't understand why Duo Duo was firing him for such a small matter.

"I don't need a subordinate who disregards my orders, no matter how skilled he is!" Duo Duo's words extinguished any hope the undead thief had. Duo Duo was decisive on this matter.

This transaction with Nie Yan was too important. He had kept everything a secret, even from some of his confidants. The more people who knew, the more dangerous it would be. Only he and Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang knew the details. They were both too busy, so he had thought of having someone guide Nie Yan to a nearby village first, and then he would personally go and trade with Nie Yan. He hadn't explained it clearly to the undead thief, and that undead thief had been somewhat negligent. The main reason was that the undead thief was too arrogant and thought too highly of himself.

Duo Duo sent a message to Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang, saying, "Nie Yan has arrived in the underworld. Go and take my place."

"I'm busy with things here..." Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang hesitated. Angel's Fall was currently in a heated battle with six guilds, and there were many affairs to handle.

"Leave it to me for the time being. If the transaction with Nie Yan is successful, it will be a great help to us. Take 350,000 gold coins and buy those pieces of equipment from Nie Yan. We'll discuss the guild war later."

"Alright," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. He teleported back to the guild headquarters and took the necklace from Duo Duo.

Nie Yan hid in the ruins and waited for a while, about twenty minutes. He saw a figure walking from afar. Angel's Fall's response was quite fast.

Nie Yan went into stealth and saw a familiar figure, Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang had already switched to Lawful Good alignment.

Only then did Nie Yan reveal himself.

"What happened just now?" Nie Yan frowned and asked. Angel's Fall was being too careless.

"There was a bit of an accident. We already fired that thief. Don't worry, only the guild leader and I know the contents of our transaction. That undead thief didn't know the contents of the transaction, which is why that accident happened."

Nie Yan nodded. It was good that Angel's Fall was taking it seriously. If the security measures weren't in place, there would be no chance of cooperation after this deal.

"Did you bring the equipment?"

"I brought it."

Nie Yan applied for a trade with Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang and put the equipment on one by one. Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang looked at it. The quality of these pieces of equipment was quite good. He estimated that they could be sold for a lot of money, at least over a million gold coins. He put on 350,000 gold coins and said, "According to the agreement, I'll give you about a 30% cut."

Nie Yan clicked confirm. In the end, after going back and forth for ten days, he could earn about 1.5 million gold coins from a trip to the underworld. This speed of making money was truly astonishing. This was all thanks to the Dark Transmission Gate. Without the Dark Transmission Gate, this transaction would have been impossible at the current level.

"Follow me, I'll take you to the nearest village. We'll be meeting there for the next few days."

"Alright," Nie Yan nodded.

Under Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang's guidance, Nie Yan set off towards the nearest village. With Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang leading the way, he wouldn't have to spend several days finding a village like last time.

After advancing for more than twenty minutes, they arrived at a hillside. Through the dense branches and leaves, they looked towards the distant plain. Far away, they could see a lighthouse.

"That's Besimer in Bone Tooth Town. You can stay there for the next few days. In a few days, we'll collect the equipment you want and send it to you," Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang said. "I have to go back first."

"Let's set a time to meet," Nie Yan said. Now that he knew where the nearest town was, that was good enough. He could level up nearby and go to the town when needed. After all, staying in the town was too dangerous.

"How about 9 PM three days from now?" Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang thought for a moment and said.

"If you don't see me at 9 PM, we'll contact each other," Nie Yan said. In case he was doing a quest and couldn't get back, he would have to postpone it. Anyway, he had Duo Duo's real-life phone number.

After Nie Yan and Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang discussed the specifics, they separated.

Nie Yan went to level up, while Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang went back to report.

Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang switched back to the Evil alignment and then used a Return Scroll to return to the city.

After Kuang Ao Zhan Qiang returned to the city, the entire Angel's Fall was busy and bustling. Most of these pieces of equipment had to be sold. As long as they were sold, they could obtain a large sum of money, which would be very helpful for their guild war.

Angel's Fall was constantly annexing other guilds, and the other guilds were naturally unwilling, so the two sides went to war. Once the war started, Angel's Fall's expenses increased sharply. Selling these pieces of equipment was like relieving their urgent need.

As soon as these pieces of equipment appeared on the market, they detonated the entire market and caused players to frantically buy them. A large amount of money was constantly flowing into Angel's Fall's pockets. The 350,000 quickly paid for itself, and there was still a lot of profit to be made. It was estimated that this successful transaction would earn at least 800,000 gold coins.

In Nie Yan's opinion, the popularity was expected. Since Angel's Fall had helped him a lot, he might as well let them earn a little too. Everyone had a profit to be made, and the relationship would naturally be stronger.

Nie Yan memorized the coordinates of Bone Tooth Town and then began to search for the next quest item under the guidance of Bennet's soul.

He checked the quest progress.

Quest progress: Find the psychic object, currently completed 1/3, next target Eye of Finaas.

Nie Yan still didn't know what this psychic object was, but judging from the difficulty of this quest, it was at least an S-rank quest. Generally, the rewards for such quests were very generous.

Nie Yan searched for the word "psychic" on the official website and was a little shocked. Finding a psychic object and using a suitable medium, they could use some special formations, gather the power of dozens of archmages, and summon spirit beasts from other dimensions. Generally, spirit beasts were at least Level 70 or 80 Lord-class creatures. Once successfully summoned, it was like summoning an invincible war machine that could even crush the enemy's fortress.

In his previous life, Nie Yan had never heard of spirit beasts. The quest to obtain spirit beasts must have been too difficult for ordinary people to complete.

Nie Yan could only fantasize about summoning spirit beasts.

There weren't so many interesting things in his previous life. Just uncovering the sealed history ahead of time had brought about so much content. What would the fortress battles be like in the future? It was a little exciting.

It wouldn't hurt to try doing this quest for the psychic object. It would be best if he could complete it, but if he couldn't, he would have to let it go.

Bennet's soul floated into the distance, as if guiding Nie Yan.

Nie Yan summoned the Golden Earth Dragon and followed. He looked around and realized that Bennet's soul's destination seemed to be the Lava Sea. That was a lava area, and lava was more terrifying than any monster.

He thought about it. He still had the Molten Heart in his hands, so he could deal with the lava.

Aterset Continent was a continent with frequent volcanic eruptions, and the Earth's core was full of magma. To deal with magma, some special props were essential.

After passing through a graveyard, they were all Level 60 zombies wielding large iron hammers. Nie Yan swept forward while commanding five Level 60 zombies. Corpses littered the ground. After a while, a crisp system prompt sounded. He checked his level, Level 56.

The leveling speed here was not bad. These zombies gave a lot of experience.

After passing through a dense, dark forest, Nie Yan reached the edge of the Lava Sea. He followed the beach and proceeded. Far away, an island in the center of the Lava Sea caught Nie Yan's attention. It was an extremely large island surrounded by lava. In the center of the island was a huge volcano that was spewing black smoke into the sky. The smoke billowed and covered the sky.

Many black plants grew on the island, but it was completely isolated. No one should have landed on that island unless they came from the sky.

Under the guidance of Bennet's soul, Nie Yan proceeded along the beach of the Lava Sea. The beach was a thick layer of limestone, uneven, and some parts were broken.

Nie Yan walked on the beach, surrounded by empty space. Suddenly, a group of people emerged from the forest behind him. There were about twenty or thirty of them. They were all stunned when they saw Nie Yan.

The iconic image of the Golden Earth Dragon and the name of Assassin Nie Yan had already spread wildly throughout the Undead Empire.

Nie Yan had slaughtered so many people in the Undead Empire along the way that even Nie Yan himself couldn't count them all. Nie Yan had disappeared for five days, and everyone thought he had returned to the surface. They didn't expect to meet Nie Yan here again.

"Damn, this is bad."
