Chapter 338: Borrowing a Path at the Supreme Academy

"Hidden Dragon Shadow Guard?" Ye Lin asked in surprise.

"Correct!" The Human Emperor nodded.

"Does it come with social insurance and a two-day weekend?" Ye Lin asked curiously.

Human Emperor: "..."

"Yes, and we also give a six-month year-end bonus."

"That cool?" Ye Lin's face showed joy. "Then what does this Hidden Dragon Shadow Guard do?"

"You can understand it as an organization that only takes orders from me. They are responsible for handling all events that would affect the safety of You Daxia."

The Human Emperor explained.

"The Hidden Dragon Shadow Guard also has another name: Demon Slayers."

"Deal!"

Ye Lin agreed immediately. The Human Emperor bet on his future, and he bet on the Human Emperor's present. This deal was very fair; even looking at it now, he was the one taking advantage.

A Third Realm expert carrying a complete Origin Ancient Artifact—Ye Lin couldn't even imagine how terrifying the Human Emperor's action would be.

The Human Emperor smiled and handed three Mountain Sea Secret Seals to Ye Lin.

"If you encounter danger you cannot handle, crush it, and I will arrive immediately. By the way," the Human Emperor added, "it is I who take action to protect you, not the Human Emperor who takes action to protect you."

"Understood." Ye Lin blinked, an expression of 'I understand everything' on his face. "It's a mysterious expert who takes action to save me!"

The identity of the Human Emperor was too sensitive. If the Human Emperor himself arrived for some things, it would easily cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Heh, slippery little fellow." The Human Emperor couldn't help but laugh.

"Then when do I process my onboarding procedures?" Ye Lin asked.

"No rush, wait until you reach level 80. Just remember this matter," the Human Emperor said.

"OK!"

Ye Lin was in an excellent mood. Although things didn't go according to his plan, he had gained a powerful bodyguard he could summon three times. Now he felt confident.

However, the Eternal Ancient Book was still in his hands. He had to think about how to deal with Xie Hong next. He was definitely not willing to hand the Eternal Ancient Book directly to Xie Hong.

Ye Lin arrived at Gui Street, and after several turns, entered Qiu Xingyuan's small shop.

"Boss, long time no see!" Ye Lin greeted Qiu Xingyuan with a smile.

"It's you. Why, did that guy Zhuge leave you any last words again?" Qiu Xingyuan, lying on the grand master chair, asked without lifting his eyelids.

"That's not it."

Ye Lin ran diligently to Qiu Xingyuan's side and hammered his legs for him.

"I wanted to ask, do you still have a way to craft a second Phantom Face?"

"No way." Qiu Xingyuan shook his head directly. "The difficulty in crafting the Phantom Face is not the technique, but the materials! Where am I going to find so much ten-thousand-year sky silkworm silk for you again?"

"Don't say that! You are such a brilliant forging master, and you are a close friend of my teacher. You must have a way, right?"

Ye Lin was anxious. He had personally experienced how useful the Phantom Face was. When used properly at certain times, its effect was even comparable to an Origin Ancient Artifact!

Qiu Xingyuan lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ye Lin, saying coldly.

"Don't butter me up, it's useless. Without ten-thousand-year sky silkworm silk, no one can craft a second Phantom Face."

Seeing Qiu Xingyuan's words were so categorical, Ye Lin couldn't help but feel a bit of heartache. His loss in the City of God this time was huge!

"However..." Qiu Xingyuan changed the subject. "If you just want to disguise yourself, you help me find one thing, and I can craft something even more useful than the Phantom Face."

"What thing? Please elaborate." Ye Lin immediately brought a cup of hot tea and asked.

"The corpse of a Skin Corpse King." Qiu Xingyuan sipped his tea slowly.

"Skin Corpse King? What is that?" Ye Lin asked in confusion.

"A type of extremely rare Demon Clan. Strictly speaking, Skin Corpses are not native residents of the Demon Realm."

Qiu Xingyuan said in a deep voice.

"In ancient times, the conflict between humans and demons was endless, and they fought constantly. The Demon Clan would skin the captured humans and hang the human skin high to intimidate the living humans."

"Those human skins that were skinned alive already had heavy resentment, and after being invaded by the demonic energy of the Demon Realm, over time, they actually gave birth to intelligence and formed a brand-new Demon Clan: the Skin Corpse Clan."

"The way Skin Corpses eat humans is very peculiar. They will parasitize humans, continue to live in the other party's identity, slowly invade, and slowly devour. From the outside, you can't tell at all that this person has been parasitized by a Skin Corpse."

"It is precisely because of this living habit of Skin Corpses that their corpses are excellent materials for disguise, and the Skin Corpse King even more so."

"If you can bring me the corpse of a Skin Corpse King, I can give you something even more heaven-defying than the Phantom Face."

Qiu Xingyuan leaned on the grand master chair, looked sideways at Ye Lin, and continued to ask.

"How about it, are you interested?"

"What is the strength of a Skin Corpse King?" Ye Lin asked the most critical question.

"It's roughly equivalent to a human Star Realm expert."

"Done!" Ye Lin agreed immediately. "Where can I find a Skin Corpse King?"

"Don't be happy too early. If you want to find a Skin Corpse King, you have to go to the Supreme Academy to borrow a path. As far as I know, your relationship with the Supreme Academy doesn't seem very good, right?" Qiu Xingyuan worried.

"Ah? Do I have to go to the Supreme Academy to borrow a path?" Ye Lin asked.

"You don't have to borrow a path there. You can leave the Kyoto city gate, walk north for three hundred kilometers, and after pushing through, there is a spatial rift. You can also enter the Demon Realm from there, and then cross half the Demon Realm to reach the Skin Corpse King's territory." Qiu Xingyuan nodded.

"..."

"Let's talk about borrowing a path at the Supreme Academy."

"The Supreme Academy controls a realm called the Departure Tomb. The Departure Tomb Realm leads directly to the Demon Realm. Once you enter the Departure Tomb Realm, look for the Millennium City. Once you reach the Millennium City, you will naturally find the Skin Corpse King." Qiu Xingyuan explained.

"OK! It just so happens I have some old grudges to settle with the people of the Supreme Academy."

Unknowingly, the one-year deadline was almost here. I wonder what level Yun Guanlou is now?

Seeing Ye Lin about to leave, Qiu Xingyuan reminded him.

"Have some sense of proportion in what you do. Don't underestimate the Supreme Academy."

The grand master chair creaked.

"The Dean of the Supreme Academy... is a very terrifying existence."

"Ah? Is Yun Xintong very terrifying?" Ye Lin was stunned. Wasn't that guy covered in poop by Professor Shen?

"Yun Xintong is only the Vice Dean." Qiu Xingyuan rolled his eyes. "Anyway, just remember one thing: if you provoke the Dean of the Supreme Academy, you'll be in big trouble."

"Okay! Understood!"

Ye Lin nodded, but didn't take it to heart at all.

The Dean of the Supreme Academy is terrifying? How terrifying can he be? At worst, he'll just grab a bucket of popcorn and stand on the sidelines watching the Dean of the Supreme Academy fight the Human Emperor of You Daxia!

Sorry, having the Human Emperor as a backer really allows you to do whatever you want. ===== CHAPTER 339 =====
