The situation might have changed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi tilted his head to glance at the vampire behind Isabella. \"Is it causing you trouble?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, it’s a surprise. I need to check it out now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi nodded, stepped back, and stood at the entrance of the secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella soon clarified the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke a few words to the vampire before approaching Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Gu, could we talk outside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi glanced at the secret chamber before him, then at the treasure chest behind the vampire, and commented lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they returned to the poolside, Isabella said excitedly yet with some concern, \"Mr. Gu, can you not attack him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is he your husband?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had already guessed something while they were below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, I didn’t expect there could be such a chance. Now, he has temporarily become the guardian of the secret chamber’s treasure chest through your task item. As long as the secret chamber remains, the treasure chest remains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he doesn’t leave the secret chamber, he can live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Mr. Gu, even if I beg you, let this task hang, don’t complete it, let this secret chamber remain here forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rest assured, I only wish for him to live; I won’t ask for more.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps, my department also needs a secret chamber that always exists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t complete the task, as long as I am here, no one else can take on this task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I will have to spread the word externally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let me think about how to phrase it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s say there is a treasure inside the secret chamber that can control the academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella listened and shook her head repeatedly, \"Mr. Gu, the secret chamber isn’t like that. If you say there’s a treasure inside that can control the entire academy, it won’t attract much attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because such a secret chamber sounds fake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wouldn’t even think this is a real secret chamber; they would assume it’s fake news.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Isabella’s words, Gu Xi pondered and then said, \"Let’s phrase it like this: my secret chamber contains a treasure chest, which can automatically enhance its quality each year. When someone dies in front of it, the chest’s quality will also improve.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi was revealing the situation of the Bloody Treasure Chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this idea, Isabella quickly understood it was a good plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she still asked worriedly, \"Mr. Gu, the treasure chest doesn’t have that functionality.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s fine. I obtained a Bloody Treasure Chest before; although it has been opened, the chest is still there. I will have someone send it over later. You can then place the real treasure chest inside, which should deceive others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passes, the power of rumors will eventually affect the chest, turning it from fake to real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Gu Xi’s plan, Isabella nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, whatever Gu Xi decided to set in his secret chamber had nothing to do with Isabella.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now that Isabella’s husband had become the monster guarding the secret chamber, everything was connected to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Isabella had to consider whether her husband could effectively guard the secret chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, with Gu Xi’s arrangement, the difficulty of the secret chamber was neither too hard nor too easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t attract too much attention, nor would it be so obscure that it wouldn’t gain recognition, fading away in the river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only this way can the secret chamber be preserved for a long time, allowing Isabella’s husband to continue existing within it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having heard Gu Xi’s reasonable plan, Isabella considered it briefly and agreed since the difficulty seemed just right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Isabella agreed, Gu Xi quickly took action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The original casing of the Bloody Treasure Chest needed to be transported over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This required Gu Xi to open the city gate to deliver the goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clearly inappropriate here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, Gu Xi needed to leave evidence to prove the secret chamber belonged to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without this evidence, it wouldn’t be acknowledged when the academy was reconstructed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving evidence was relatively easy for Gu Xi to solve; he just needed to leave a mark in the secret chamber with a key sent by Karim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for opening the city gate, Gu Xi needed to go outside the Blood Cloud area to accomplish it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was considered Isabella’s territory, and Gu Xi could see that Isabella had protected it quite thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Cloud had effects beyond healing; it also served as protection for this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone thought this area could be freely entered, that would be an overestimation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi had already noticed that Isabella’s strength was evidently around level 14.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of her husband, she could exert incredible combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even fighting desperately or self-destructing was a possibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone like her relied on him, Gu Xi wouldn’t act recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After explaining his situation, Gu Xi quickly exited the Blood Cloud’s range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the main city gate opened behind him, Isabella was somewhat moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, Gu Xi was a decent person, which caused Isabella to entertain the idea of joining him in battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the undead from Yalidu City delivered the casing of the Bloody Treasure Chest, Isabella approached Gu Xi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended her hand and asked, \"Sir, do you need healing or battle now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Healing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a second thought, Gu Xi immediately responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were many who fought for Gu Xi, not to mention his troops, heroes, and Contracted Undead; even a Death Incarnation would suffice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when it came to life-saving abilities, Gu Xi was somewhat lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed a professional healer by his side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Isabella replied, \"In that case, I have a clone specialized in healing. Please take her with you when you leave, Mr. Gu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I can’t guarantee much, but she can handle minor injuries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even on a massive battlefield with tens of thousands, she could offer aid.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Isabella spoke, her left hand poured out a large amount of blood from the Blood Chalice she held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a blood-colored version of Isabella emerged from it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She resembled Isabella’s true form closely, but she didn’t hold a silver longsword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Clone nodded at Gu Xi, standing behind him. It was clear Isabella had already given her orders when releasing this clone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Xi naturally accepted such goodwill without hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you can follow along. Oh, do you know how to use a Healing Tent? I have one here. If you know how, feel free to use it, and I’ll get a new one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1120,"2026-06-10T07:09:16.026Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc18e0e6154a84a310e22a9f3c0a21e835a524ec353951cc8cd7e91a98c8fbed","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-493","undead-mage-from-a-cell-chapter-491",860,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fundead-mage-from-a-cell-cover.jpg"]
