Even with a single drop of blood, I will still be invincible!

Chapter 178 Interested in his capital? "Old Deng, again, fill it up!"

Looking at Su Mubai, who had instantly become drunk, his eyebrows twitched.

What did that brat just call me?

Old Deng?!

He instinctively raised his hand in front of him, but after glancing at the [Ring of Time and Space] still in Su Mubai's hand, he put it down.

It was one thing for that kid to call me "old man" before, but this Bai Ye is even more unruly now.

They actually dared to call him Old Deng directly!

Damn it, do I really look that old?

He rubbed his temples and murmured something.

However, his focus was not on the title "Old Deng," but simply on the word "old."

Su Mubai's drunken outburst seemed to remind him of some memories.

"If I buy you a drink again next time, I'll be a dog."

Looking at Su Mubai, who was drunk and about to slump onto the table, he pouted and made a sword gesture with two fingers.

"Zheng!"

A clear sword rang out, and Su Mubai's eyes immediately regained their clarity.

Su Mubai was startled and stood up abruptly. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have said something terrible.

Thinking of this, he scratched the back of his head, glanced guiltily at his chest, and chuckled awkwardly:

"Um... senior, just now I..."

"Alright, I'm not that petty."

He waved his hand, and the teacup on the table flew to Su Mubai's front: "But you shouldn't drink anymore, kid. I'm afraid you'll get beaten to death."

"After all, not everyone is as kind and approachable as me."

"..."

You? Kind and approachable?!

Su Mubai's lips twitched, and for a moment he didn't know how to reply. He could only sit down again with his teacup in hand, waiting for what the person in his arms would say next.

But Huaijian just stared at his hand without saying a word.

Su Mubai asked with some confusion, "Senior, didn't you tell me to listen to you?"

"That's all."

Raising an eyebrow, Su Mubai was taken aback upon hearing this.

Although he was drunk, he didn't black out; Mingming hadn't said anything in his arms.

"You will understand later."

He smiled mysteriously from his chest, then suddenly changed the subject:

Why do I feel like there's a familiar aura about you?

Su Mubai was completely confused, realizing that he was losing track of Huaijian's rhythm.

This guy is even more of a riddle-maker than the Riddler himself!

But the next moment, his eyes widened.

Because he simply reached out and grabbed at the air, a ring radiating cold energy suddenly appeared in his hand.

Su Mubai was quite certain that it was the [Dylan's Frost Ring] that he had just put into his backpack!

Sure enough, the system notification sounded in his ear at that moment.

[Hint: Your mythical item, "Dylan's Frost Ring," has been stolen from your possession.]

Su Mubai was dumbfounded. Not long ago, he was disappointed by the catastrophic nature of the treasure chest because he had never encountered anyone who could steal his equipment.

I never expected to run into this as soon as I returned to China.

And the other party was in his arms!

Isn't this old man a swordsman? How come he's also a thief?

Of course, Su Mubai thought this in his heart, but he certainly wouldn't say it out loud.

"Senior, you also have this skill?"

"I know a lot more."

He grinned, picked up the ring, examined it for a couple of seconds, and then returned it to Su Mubai.

"So it was Dylan's stuff. I was wondering why it looked so familiar."

[Hint: You have obtained the Mythic item "Dylan's Frost Ring".]

Upon hearing this, Su Mubai was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Senior, do you know that Dylan left behind a hidden interdimensional teleportation array in the Forbidden Land of Gods?"

"An interdimensional teleportation array? To the Netherworld?"

"Correct!"

Su Mubai's eyes lit up. This makes perfect sense!

"That guy really did have a backup plan."

He picked up the gourd of wine from his robes, took a sip, and looked at Su Mubai, saying, "You should have accepted his mission, right?"

"Yes, but we have to sneak into the Netherworld before we can officially start the mission."

"Heh, smuggling?"

He suddenly laughed: "That guy probably never imagined that the person who accepted his mission would be the Lord of Death."

“Going to the Land of the Dead isn’t called smuggling; it should be called going home.”

"The teleportation array you mentioned is in the Holy Empire. I can sense that it is the only teleportation array there that can traverse worlds."

"As for the exact location, you'll have to find it yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly stood up, took a step, and his figure appeared at the entrance of the reception room.

Before leaving, he turned and glared at Su Mubai, then took a step and disappeared from the spot, leaving only one sentence in Su Mubai's ear.

"I'm not old!"

Su Mubai's lips curled up slightly, "That old man."

The Holy Empire—it seems my guess was right. The coordinates given by the [Grimoire of Death] should be related to the interdimensional teleportation array left by Dylan.

Su Mubai was still a little confused as to why Huaijian had specifically wanted to meet with him this time.

Just to confirm the [Ring of Time]?

But he spent less time reading The Ring of Time than he did reading Dylan's Frost Ring.

And even though he didn't say anything, he claimed he had already said everything.

What exactly is this old man up to?

Surely you wouldn't go out of your way to treat yourself to a drink, would you?

Thinking of this, Su Mubai checked the previous system notifications.

[Hint: You have consumed the unknown-grade wine "Twilight Dawn," increasing your maximum health by 10, maximum mana by 10, lifespan by 1000 years, all attributes by 1000, and all elemental resistances by a permanent 10%.]

[Hint: You have consumed the unknown-grade wine "Twilight Dawn," which increases all attributes by 20% for 60 seconds.]

Looking at his status bar, which still showed a buff that boosted all attributes, Su Mubai was certain that he hadn't lost his memory.

Less than 60 seconds had passed, and Huaijian hadn't said a word.

Shaking his head, Su Mubai stopped guessing, glanced at his attribute panel, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The health points section still features that same conspicuous number, standing out from the other attributes.

[Health Points: 1/1] (For unknown reasons, the maximum health cannot be increased permanently.)

"Even wine, which can remove the negative effects of the power of laws, is useless?"

Su Mubai frowned. What exactly was the unknown reason?

Can the vegetative state you were in before entering the game really have such a big impact on your character panel?

hum~

As Su Mubai was pondering, a teleportation portal suddenly appeared beside him, and Situ Ji, who had left earlier, walked out of it.

"City Lord."

Su Mubai stood up and greeted them, but he still couldn't see Huaijian and Situ Ji's panels.

The former goes without saying, and the latter is by no means comparable to the lord or elder of the Sakura Kingdom.

After all, the Divine Dragon Empire is one of the two most powerful empires in the Forbidden Land of Gods.

Situ Ji nodded: "Please sit down."

"Bai Ye, the speed at which your strength has improved is simply beyond my imagination."

"I heard you single-handedly destroyed a level-three city in the Sakura Kingdom?"

As he spoke, he had already sat down in the spot where he had been sitting, smiling as he looked at Su Mubai and continued:

"Are you interested in his capital?"
