The previous two attempts have already exhausted his years of savings, leaving him unable to try again.
Fortunately, he is now the train conductor and can rely on the Bloody Train to earn resources.
Within a hundred years, he should be able to accumulate enough resources to attempt Ghost Emperor again.
"Here, take this." Mu Rufeng spoke, handing over a Yin Luo Flower to the train conductor.
He had collected a large bunch of these in the Little Netherworld at that ti, amounting to at least several hundred plants.
"This is... such dense Yin Qi, what kind of spiritual dicine is this?" The train conductor took a deep breath but could not identify it.
"This is the Yin Luo Flower, very useful for your attempt at breaking through to Ghost Emperor." Mu Rufeng explained.
"What? It's the Yin Luo Flower?" The train conductor was shocked and then ecstatic.
He never expected Mu Rufeng to offer him a Yin Luo Flower.
"In the coming ti, the Mysterious World will undergo so significant changes. After delivering the passengers, find a place to stop. If the Bloody Train doesn't agree, you can deduct the cost from my card, consider it as chartering the train." Mu Rufeng said.
"Hmm? Changes in the Mysterious World? Okay, Mr. Mu, rest assured, I'll make sure the task is completed." The train conductor didn't ask further, simply agreeing directly.
He had a premonition that this ti the Mysterious World was truly about to experience sothing monuntal.
"You can use this ti to break through to Ghost Emperor and gather more resources to also enhance the strength of your staff." Mu Rufeng said.
"Yes, Mr. Mu, rest assured." The train conductor replied, patting his chest.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. Next ti we et, I hope you've already broken through to Ghost Emperor." Mu Rufeng said with a gentle smile.
Then Mu Rufeng left.
This side's matters had been dealt with, though he rembered he still hadn't inford Lilith about it.
Imdiately, he returned to Crimson Preferred.
In an office, he saw Lilith busy at work.
"Lilith, busy?" Mu Rufeng asked softly upon appearing.
"Ah? Mr. Mu, you're here?" Lilith was first startled, then filled with surprise upon seeing Mu Rufeng.
Just about to rush over, she rembered Mu Rufeng's previous words and suddenly beca reserved.
"I have sothing to discuss with you." Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
Although Lilith had already broken through to Ghost Emperor, the Slave Bracelet's effect remained.
"What is it? Mr. Mu instructs, Lilith guarantees completion." Lilith responded quickly.
"In the coming ti, there will be significant changes in the Mysterious World, like a world rger. Inform your people and have them be cautious." Mu Rufeng instructed.
"Changes? Okay, Mr. Mu, I'll notify them." Lilith nodded in agreent.
"I've already notified the Bloody Train and the Gluttonous Cruise; they'll likely cease their routes today. As for my other businesses, I'm counting on you to inform them."
"These matters can also be disclosed; I believe you'll soon notice so things." Mu Rufeng said.
"Mr. Mu, what exactly is going to happen? It seems quite serious." Lilith asked curiously.
"It's huge; it's not easy to explain for now. Just know that soon the Mysterious World will rge with Earth and beco the legendary Underworld."
"Of course, your change shouldn't be too drastic; perhaps at most, the Contractors will not be able to enter the Mysterious World anymore." Mu Rufeng speculated.
Upon hearing this, Lilith was shocked, not expecting such a major event.
"Make use of this ti to gather more resources; your strength and that of your subordinates should be enhanced."
"Once your cultivation reaches the Peak Ghost Emperor, I'll provide you resources for breaking through to Emperor Sovereign." Mu Rufeng promised.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, I will." Upon hearing this, Lilith's body trembled, and she replied quickly.
"Oh, and this is the Slave Bracelet; I'm returning it to you now, you can discard it." Mu Rufeng handed the Slave Bracelet to Lilith.
Considering his own power now, he no longer needed the Slave Bracelet.
"Mr. Mu, are you abandoning ?" Lilith looked at the Slave Bracelet in her hand, suddenly panicked, tears welling in her eyes, pitifully.
"Why would I? You've already proved your worth and ability through your actions; I feel it's unnecessary to have it anymore."
"Besides, it inherently isn't fair to you; I believe, even without this bracelet, you will still be my indispensable subordinate." Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"Mr. Mu, thank you for your trust, but I just want to remain Mr. Mu's slave; please take it back." Lilith returned the Slave Bracelet to Mu Rufeng.
Seeing this, Mu Rufeng took the Slave Bracelet and smiled: "Lilith, with this you'll be a slave your whole life, don't you want to regain your freedom?"
Mu Rufeng toyed with the Slave Bracelet in his hand, smiling as he looked at Lilith.
"Everything Lilith has is given by the master; the master is everything to Lilith." Lilith no longer called him Mr. Mu but master.
Mu Rufeng chuckled; then his palm suddenly exerted force.
In an instant, the Slave Bracelet radiated brilliantly, resisting Mu Rufeng's power.
Yet that Rule Power faced no hindrance, directly crushed by Mu Rufeng along with the Slave Bracelet.
In that mont, Mu Rufeng felt the delicate connection between him and Lilith breaking.
Lilith felt it too; that fine connection with Mu Rufeng had vanished.
Before Lilith could react, the peculiar affection towards Mu Rufeng disappeared instantly.
Yet shortly, a new feeling surged into her heart; at this mont, Lilith looked at Mu Rufeng with a gaze largely unchanged, only lacking the subservience of a slave towards a master, replaced by admiration and gratitude.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu, thank you, Mr. Mu." Lilith knelt before Mu Rufeng, choking with gratitude.
"Stand up; working for , I won't treat you poorly. My previous words still stand; when your cultivation reaches Peak Ghost Emperor, I'll provide resources for your breakthrough to Emperor Sovereign." Mu Rufeng said with a gentle smile, releasing a power to lift Lilith to her feet.
"Thank you, Mr. Mu!" Lilith stepped forward, embracing Mu Rufeng with tears streaming down.
"If not for Mr. Mu, Lilith would rely be a vulnerable furnace, living a humiliating life without freedom."
"Mr. Mu gave a new life, my current identity, and power. No matter what, Mr. Mu is forever my master; your orders are my ultimate mission." Lilith spoke earnestly and solemnly.
Seeing Lilith in this manner, Mu Rufeng shook his head with a smile: "Alright, whatever suits you, rember my words."
"Yes, Mr. Mu." Lilith wiped away her tears and nodded.
At this mont, the affairs in the Mysterious World were sowhat settled.
Just then, a prompt suddenly echoed in Mu Rufeng's mind.
[Attention, an ergency event has occurred in this world. All players must imdiately terminate instance tasks. Forced return in three minutes, or silently chant imdiate return]
...
[Attention, an ergency event has occurred in this world. All players must imdiately terminate instance tasks. Forced return in three minutes, or silently chant imdiate return]
Three tis in succession, echoing in the minds of all players, even for Mu Rufeng who had entered the Mysterious World himself.
Mu Rufeng glanced at Lilith beside him and saw no change on her face, confirming that it was only audible to players.
"Lilith, I have matters to attend to; I'll return now. Oh, by the way, during this ti, players won't be coming to the instance." Mu Rufeng said.
