Chapter 818: Chapter 409: Wraith Princess, Martial Contest for Marriage Part 2

Thus, he wanted to see if there was any way to obtain the Soul Stone in this larger city. He had good items to exchange, but he feared that pulling out something too valuable might attract unwanted attention. Everything had to be done safely.

After wandering around the city, Long Dangdang still hadn’t found a way to scout the frontline situation. Mainly because he dared not actively communicate with wraith entities. Low-level wraith entities definitely wouldn’t know much, and higher-level wraith entities, as intelligent as humans, would expose his identity immediately if there was any slipup in communication. In a city of this scale, there had to be powerful entities in charge, making it difficult to escape once he was discovered.

As he was moving forward, suddenly, without warning, a vast and powerful spiritual torrent swept across.

When that massive spiritual power washed over him, Long Dangdang felt a chill run down his spine, a shiver born of a spiritual level. Such powerful spiritual power, it must be at least comparable to a Saint Hall Level existence!

He stopped instantly, doing his best to conceal his presence. But he quickly calmed himself, for not only he but also all the surrounding wraith entities were affected by this spiritual force. At this moment, all the wraith entities instinctively looked up, crossing their small arms in front of their chests to form an ’X’. Their eyes flickered with excitement and reverence.

"Come!"

In the midst of that huge spiritual fluctuation, a thought emerged, and the next moment, almost all the active wraith entities turned around at the same time and headed in one direction.

Was this the summoning of a powerful wraith? Was this to assemble a wraith legion to move to the frontline?

Long Dangdang steadied his mind and without much hesitation, followed the current of wraith entities in that direction. If he turned around now, it would be too obvious. Besides, he wanted to see what the powerful wraith of Stone Gate City was up to.

Stone Gate City was enormous, and Long Dangdang couldn’t suddenly quicken his pace. He could only continue forward at the same pace as the other wraith entities, and after more than two hours, they reached a vast square.

He didn’t know if Stone Gate City had such a large square before, but at least in his memory, even in the Holy City, he had never seen such a vast space within a city. Looking around, the square was densely packed with wraith entities—there were at least over a million at a glance, with human-shaped undead making up the majority.

In the center of the square stood a platform about thirty meters high, and by this time, there were already some lavishly dressed undead standing on it—undoubtedly the leaders of Stone Gate City.

More wraith entities continued to flood towards the square; there were likely over ten million wraith entities in Stone Gate City, and within the span of two hours, probably more than one-third had already gathered.

Compared to the human world, the world of the wraiths seemed to have more order, without noisy sounds. All the wraith entities were very quiet. What’s more peculiar was that among these wraith entities, there seemed to be organized groups, especially those near the platform, clearly some wore matching armor. Their presence was quite strong—definitely at least 5th Rank or above, resembling elite guards in the Wraith World, protecting the platform.

At this time, Long Dangdang was among the crowd of undead, inconspicuous, holding his breath and waiting quietly.

After about one hour, the square could hardly accommodate any more creatures, with over three million wraith entities gathered. The wraith entities that were still arriving had to stand on the streets surrounding the square. A single mental call had brought together most of the wraith entities in the city. This kind of obedience, coupled with the fact that each was a warrior, clearly was something the human world could not match.

Long Dangdang didn’t know exactly how many troops the Federation had, but he was certain that they could not possibly be on the scale of ten million. Yet in the Wraith Kingdom, such a large city was able to summon an army of that size—and the ones gathered on the square were not skeleton soldiers but seemed to be of a higher level, as if the mental force of a skeleton soldier was not enough to be summoned, or the powerful wraith entities did not attempt to summon them.

Compared to the wraith legion, the biggest advantage of humans was their better organization and discipline, and then equipment. As for the number of top-tier warriors, Long Dangdang was now unable to judge.

But no matter how you look at it, humans inevitably face a grueling battle when confronting the wraith legion. Furthermore, once a human warrior dies on the battlefield, if their body isn’t destroyed immediately, there’s a high probability it will become a part of the wraith legion. This is the most terrifying aspect, as with each loss and addition, humanity faces the crisis of annihilation.

As Long Dangdang watched the Wraith Kingdom’s formidable power and felt her spirits sink, a somewhat shrill voice rose from the platform. Amplified by spiritual power, his voice could clearly be heard by every wraith in the massive square, including Long Dangdang, of course.

"All hail the Spectral Saint Mage!" As the shrill voice called out, all the wraiths present kneeled on one knee in unison, with some wraith entities even prostrating themselves on the ground.

Long Dangdang reacted quickly. Although slightly caught off guard, she still swiftly dropped to one knee, just like the undead beside her.

The shrill voice continued, "Purify the human world, the undead shall return!"

All the wraith entities around her almost instantly emitted intense spiritual fluctuations, repeating those eight words, "Purify the human world, the undead shall return!"

A massive spiritual consciousness, like a surging torrent, filled the entire square. Long Dangdang felt as though she was a tiny boat in an immense ocean, forced to repeat the phrase along with the wraith entities.

Could these eight words be the motto of the Wraith Kingdom? Also their goal? To purify the human world and bring back the undead—that would mean the destruction of the entire human world and an undead grip over the entire planet, wouldn’t it?

What was the Spectral Saint Mage mentioned earlier? The deity they worship, or perhaps, the leader of the Wraith Kingdom?

Long Dangdang suppressed the shock in her heart and continued to listen.

"Arise!"

All the wraith entities stood up in unison.

"By the command of the Spectral Saint Mage, we shall select a Prince Consort for Her Highness the Princess, and all undead may participate. After passing the initial selection in the city, they will be sent to Calamity City for the Princess’s final decision. Are you ready?"

"Buzz—" All the undead almost unanimously gave an affirmative response.

"Non-undead may leave now," commanded the high-pitched voice.

The wraith entities seemed to be exceedingly obedient in terms of following orders, without any non-undead questioning the command. Even the more powerful races among them simply turned and left, and the undead made way for them to pass first.

At this moment, Long Dangdang was somewhat dumbfounded, but from the conversation just now, she had also gathered plenty of valuable information.

Firstly, the Spectral Saint Mage was likely the ruler of the entire Wraith Kingdom. And this gathering wasn’t for going to the front lines to fight but was actually to select a suitor for some Wraith Princess? A martial contest for marriage? Also, those chosen in Stone Gate City would be sent to Calamity City!
