"We’ve met before, so rest assured, I’m not on bad terms with your superiors."
The Necromancer stood up and led everyone away. Continue reading at Freewebnovel
A few minutes later.
They had arrived at the opera house.
Without passing through the doorman, they appeared directly on the second floor, standing outside the Chief Diva’s dressing room.

Knock knock knock knock knock knock knock!
Seven knocks.
"Who is it?" a voice came from inside the door.
The Necromancer smiled upon hearing it.
It was indeed Diva Baxter!
But now, he needed to use the secret passphrase to avoid any misunderstandings.
"Pure Love Warrior,"
the Necromancer answered.
"Who do you come for?"
"Obvious package."
"What’s the business?"
"The bounty of the gods has come our way, brother."
"Roll?"
"Lie flat."
All the answers were correct!
The door finally opened.
"It’s you!"
Baxter stood behind the door, taken aback.
"In Blood Rot Town, we had agreed to meet again in Eternal Night City, Mr. Baxter," the Necromancer said with a smile.
"Please come in," Shen Ye said.
The Necromancer entered the room with several subordinates.
"Norton must have been difficult to deal with,"
Shen Ye said with a smile.
"Not really, just a small matter—How should I address you? As ’Liangshan’s Zhang Shun, the Carefree Wanderer, or Diva Baxter?" the Necromancer asked.
"Just call me Baxter," Shen Ye said.
The Necromancer flipped his hand and placed a box on the table, saying:
"This treasure is a gift for our reunion; it goes well with the item I sent you last time."
The item from last time...
Shen Ye then remembered that last time in Blood Rot Town, the Necromancer had given him a small box.
He also flipped his hand and took out the small box, placing it on the table.
"You haven’t opened it at all?"
the Necromancer asked in surprise.
—The seal on the box was still intact, proving that the Diva had not looked inside it.
"Mostly it’s because I’ve been too busy, and I was in a hurry at the time, so I forgot about it,"
Shen Ye explained.
He noticed that the Necromancer’s subordinates behind him all showed disbelief, as if he had done something completely incomprehensible.
Perhaps...
The gift was very valuable?
That’s fine, I appreciate honest people.
"Thank you for your gift. Now, tell me, what is it you’re here for?"
Shen Ye went straight to the point.
"I heard that people from the ’Actual Refinement Layer’ have entered the Immortal Country?" the Necromancer asked.
"Yes, I inadvertently received the Immortal Country’s guidance, which allows me to lead people into the Immortal Country. They found out about this and came directly to me,"
Shen Ye admitted generously.
There were originally some steps to take, even having to find the great Skeleton.
But at this moment, Shen Ye changed his original plan.
—This Necromancer, in his search for Norton, had wiped out the entire Blood Rot Town.
But after learning information about the Immortal Country, he immediately offered Norton enough benefits, all to achieve his own goals.
This man was very calm and undoubtedly powerful.
—Rather than engage in unnecessary actions, it was better to get straight to the point.
The Necromancer, sensing something, quickly asked:
"What about those people? Did they successfully find the Heavenly Technique?"
"No, they failed to pass the Immortal Country’s trial. They’re all dead," Shen Ye said.
A moment of silence.
Everyone was digesting the news.
"To obtain the Immortal Country’s Heavenly Technique, one must pass the trial... It seems only proper," the Necromancer murmured.
"There’s another issue I need to clarify with you in advance."
"What is it?"
"Entering the Immortal Country requires signing a servant agreement," Shen Ye said.
"A servant agreement... What is that?"
"It means being a servant."
The Necromancer’s subordinates could not help but emit waves of killing intent.
Shen Ye, as if unaware, spread his hands and said:
"Rules are rules; there’s nothing we can do about it,"
The Necromancer, still composed, continued the conversation: "Aside from the status designation, does the agreement contain anything else?"
"Nothing else," Shen Ye said curtly.
"If there are gains within the Immortal Country—"
"They’re yours,"
"And the Heavenly Technique?"
"No need to probe. I’ll just say it," Shen Ye cleared his throat, speaking earnestly: "Only the status is that of a servant. Beyond that, any gains you make can be taken with you."
The Necromancer’s expression immediately relaxed.
"As long as there are no issues with the benefits, I don’t care about false titles, especially since the Immortal Country is a mighty civilization of the Upper Universe,"
he said with a laugh: "Being the servant of the Immortal Country, entering dangerous relics to seek its national technique, will not discredit anyone’s reputation."
"I think so too," Shen Ye nodded.
"So, after signing the agreement, can we enter the Immortal Country?" the Necromancer asked.
"The Immortal Country will allow you to enter once it confirms you’re one of ’Liangshan’s’ men—of course, you must stay by our side," Shen Ye said.
"Then let’s sign it," the Necromancer said.
Shen Ye took out the contract he had already prepared and placed it on the table.
The Necromancer read it once, then read it again, nodded in satisfaction, and handed it to the person behind him.
"You guys take a look too."
Those few crowded over for a close look and found that the stipulations were exactly as they had just discussed.
"There is no problem,"
stated a subordinate specialized in contracts and rituals.
The Necromancer signed his name.
"Mr. Baxter, I didn’t have the opportunity to tell you last time, my name is James."
"Good name,"
"it loses nothing compared to mine."
"Now then—"
"You can see for yourself," Shen Ye said.
Suddenly, a force descended from the void, enveloping James.
Whoosh—
He disappeared.
