Reborn As A Ghost: Time To Build My Undead Army!

Chapter 1060: Winning By Doing Absolutely Nothing



Although the System was telling them that they had to fend off the hostile invaders, the Demonic Cultivator Master behind the four rash disciples quickly bowed his head, forcing his four disciples to do the same thing.

As he reprimanded them and told them to shut up, their bloodthirsty auras slowly receded. Maria and Partner particularly noticed that their Auras possessed Blood Energy, but they weren't Vampires! Was this some sort of secret demonic cultivation technique the vampires passed onto these people?

Ding!

[Congratulations! You have successfully suppressed the hostile raid of invaders from the lower floors.]

[All five invaders of {Floor 40: Murim} have surrendered their lives to your party!]

[Because this count has both defeating them and slaying them, you and your party have gained a shared amount of 100.000 Raid Points.]

[You can spend these Raid Points in the Exclusive Shop for this Raid at any time.]

"Well, isn't that easy to abuse?" Maria laughed internally. "Nah, I bet there are some regulations to it. If the Tower catch me trying to abuse such a system, I'll probably get punished somehow."

Maria quickly directed her eyes at the cultivators.

"Is that so? It seems you've truly pledged your sincerity and honesty." She said. "First of all, if you want us to spare you, what as your connection with Hendrick? And what... did he gave you that you came all the way here to help him?"

"Ah...!"

"Well, that's..."

"Silence, you two." The Master spoke. "First of all, I would like to introduce myself sincerely. My name is Wu Lieng, one of the three Elders of the Blood Demon Sect that dominates the southern area of the Windy Mountains, that lays at the north of the Central Continent."

Maria nodded as she heard his introduction, however, she was never lowering her guard. Her transformation had deactivated itself and she was back to her more humanoid form, but in both of her hands, there were very powerful weapons, ready to strike.

"So you come from the Windy Mountains of the Central Continent, and you're one of the three Elders of this Blood Demon Sect. Hah, I can already guess you are a good friend of the Vampires here!" Maria laughed. "My name is Maria, as you could have guessed already. I come from nowhere and I go wherever I please. Simply making all the bastards that ruined my life pay with blood. Now tell me, what is your fucking relation with the Vampires? You see, we are the opposite of you! Incredibly righteous people. We love to kill evil bastards. Depending in your answer we might execute you all right now."

"Tch...!"

"How dare she...?!"

"Ugh...!"

"Dammit!"

The four younglings seemed rather angry, but Maria and her party's presences were enough to force everyone to kneel in front of her anyways. They started to slowly recognize how overwhelmingly strong they were.

"We will tell you with sincerity what we are." Sighed the master. "We belong to an ancient dynasty of demonic cultivators, unorthodox. We are often called villainous in our world. And our relationship with Hendrick is one of mutual benefit. Hendrick was our connection to this world's vampire family. He allowed us to learn the techniques of the Vampires, and in exchange we lend them our techniques. Alongside that, we traded both human and beast souls, blood, and relics. We came here for his aid so he would later on owe us a favor, so we could further request more scrolls to complete our young sect's martial arts."

"So you kill people to gain benefits?" I sighed. "Innocent people?"

"Not all the time, we mostly hunt other smaller sects, hunting mortals is rather boring, and they give little benefit. Cultivators that already have fought and hunted down others are more of the type of prey we hunt." The master said. "You may judge that however you want. But as we belong to another world... We believe what we do there shouldn't affect your opinion on us."

"You're desperate to live, aren't you?" Sighed Maria. "Very well, I won't kill you. But I won't let you go easily either. I've always been curious about Murim as a world. So you're going to become my first connection to it. I've heard there are a lot of bastards, and if the vampire's connection goes all the way there, then I would rather find out more."

"There are other sects, much bigger, stronger, and malefic than ours that have received the aid of the Umbralheim Vampire Families for many generations." Spoke Wu Lieng. "They often invade other worlds and plunder them of their resources and lives. We were humbly at the beginning stages. If we guided... We might reach a different outcome than them." "Hahaha! Are you asking me to become your patron or something? You're delusional! Trying to find some benefit of almost getting killed, how funny you Murim people are." Maria laughed. "But I kind of like that. you're going to show me your sincerity from now on. Yes, you're going to do so."

Suddenly, her Void Soul expanded out of her body, extending towards the Cultivators.

"These are Void Soul Chains; they will permanently bind your soul to mine. An oath. If you ever dare betray me or any of my allies, your souls will be immediately eaten." Maria spoke with a serious tone of voice.

With cold sweat dripping from their foreheads, the cultivators nodded after looking at their master nod first. Then, the old Wu Lieng stepped forwards, with a stoic face that didn't show his emotions.

"Please, allow me to take the chains first, Lady Maria." He bowed again.

"Huh, how willing they are to serve..." Partner said. "They're suspicious, but if they take those chains, there'll be little to worry about."

"I would have simply killed them." Lucifer crossed his giant, dragon arms.

"Mama, can't we eat them instead?" Nyx asked. "They said they occasionally killed innocent people!"

"I know." Maria sighed. "But dear, sometimes you have to allow trash and scum like this to be at your side, so you can then track those that are even worse. And they, although they said such things, have yet to go completely into an unsalvable place. As long as I guide them to the right direction."

"Ooh..." Nyx nodded. "I see! So sometimes you don't have to eat the baddies, but help them get better, and use them so they lead you to even worse people to eat!"

"Precisely!" Maria giggled. "You learn well."

As they watched the endearing conversation between mother and daughter, the cultivator's souls were instantly chained by Maria's void. There were absolutely no techniques or relics that would save them from these chains.

"M-Master... What are we going to do now? We've been stripped out of our freedom!"

"T-This isn't right... we shouldn't have allowed her to do this!"

"Master, say something!"

After the negotiations were over and Maria allowed the cultivators to accompany her outside, the disciples couldn't stop talking about how they lost their freedom and everything else in

between.

"Fools, this isn't a loss of our freedom, this is a new opportunity! We either fought and died, or became her servants, and slowly, gained even more power than before. Following the strong is nothing but common sense in Murim. This is why you are too inexperienced." Sighed Wu Lieng. "Now, make sure to act respectfully with your new Lady. She might revolutionize Murim, or everything as we know it. My old eyes can easily tell..."
