Chapter 324: The Eastern Pharos Shines on the Entire World, the Draconic Penitentiary Subdues All under the Sky

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the secluded and magnificent Grand Canyon somewhere in Western America.

After the Spectral Train had passed, the old railroad tracks remained in place, seemingly entirely unchanged as only the wines that clung to it had wilted slightly.

The members of the Special Investigations Unit were anxiously waiting for new backup to arrive.

Just now, they had witnessed what had happened in the Undead Realm—three people that were obviously evil were confronting each other and fighting over the rights to fuse the Heavenly Axiom of that realm.

This particular arcane realm was strange yet powerful, and it even had a godsent treasure that was the Spectral Train. If all these fell into the hands of an evildoer…

It would go without saying that a new source of evil would then be added to the already chaotic Earth.

War, pestilence, natural calamities and man-made disasters of all types…

The owner of this newborn realm would definitely bring all these disasters to Earth because these disasters brought with them the death of countless people, which meant the Undead Realm would be able to grow stronger.

Qiao Zijiang was currently speaking with the headquarters when her eyes glinted suddenly, causing her to nod her head vicariously.

Seeing this, everyone could not help but relax; it seemed that the headquarters had provided them with a solution.

A few moments later, everyone listened to Qiao Zijiang excitedly say, “Grandfather Ren already has a solution. He’s mobilizing all forces into searching for the true arcane realm candidate that the pair of evil spirits were talking about. He believes that once we find whoever this is, everything will be smoothly solved…”

Everyone nodded their head as they listened. With the amount of power the Truth Department held nowadays, they believed that clues would definitely surface after just a bit of time.

Since the person they were looking for had the qualifications to be called the “true arcane realm candidate”, they must have made significant contributions to or have a natural gift in handling the Path of Death, which meant that the person must be quite famous.

Everyone immediately turned to look at the Venerable Dragon God, but they were met with a confusing sight for the Venerable One was currently standing directly on top of the railroad tracks and was looking towards the eastern exit of the canyon.

It was the same direction the Spectral Train was last seen heading towards.

Expressions of anxiousness laced their faces. It seemed that the matter just now had made quite a significant impact on the Venerable One.

After all, the Venerable One was one of the strongest people under the sky and he had but a handful of opponents that were on par with him.

However, that pair of weak and common evil spirits just now went too far by taking advantage of their master’s strength and depending on the arcane realm treasure to publicly humiliate the Venerable One.

They must take revenge for the Venerable One!

The members of the Special Investigations Unit all shared the same thought—they would definitely fight for the Venerable One so that they would reduce overtime by 90%.

Right as they were inwardly boosting their morale, they suddenly discovered that the ghost-like soul of an elder had appeared right beside them and from the look of the soul’s degree of solidification, he seemed to lack the nourishment of Vitality.

However, nobody panicked or moved about.

Everybody was well-informed enough to know that this was probably one of the Venerable One’s subordinates…

Everyone watched the soul, only to notice that the wrinkled face of the elder seemed to be slightly agitated.

The soul was looking all around itself, an expression of disbelief on his face.

Right after that, he slowly bent down in an attempt to touch the leaves on the vines growing along the railroad tracks. However, his palm went right through leaves instead.

“Cough,” Vigilante A cleared his throat once, and the soul immediately stood up.

After witnessing this exchange, everybody’s guesses were confirmed since it was obvious that the soul was a subordinate of Vigilante A.

Even so, why did the Venerable One summon this elder’s soul at a time like this? Could it be that this soul possessed some type of mystical magic?

The next moment, everyone was struck dumb with astonishment!

As expected, nothing was too difficult as long as they had the Venerable One…

They watched the Spectral Train, which had disappeared for quite a while, appear once more from the eastern exit of the canyon after the Venerable One summoned the elder’s soul.

It possessed the scary ability to travel through space and time, so it was no wonder the Venerable One did not want to go after it.

Nevertheless, what about it?

Did it not still need to reappear obediently? Delivery to their doorstep!

Yet, the people of the Special Investigations Unit were still confused and ignorant.

This did not stop them from jumping to conclusions, though, for they immediately assumed that the Venerable One had cast a certain magical power that made the old train return!

Just as they expected, the Spectral Train slowly made its way over to Vigilante A.

This time, Vigilante A was standing right in the middle of the railroad tracks. He was facing the incoming train and seemed to have no intention of moving away.

As for the old steam train, it did not run right into Vigilante A and instead stopped about ten steps away from him.

Everybody could only hear explosive voices coming from within the control room.

“Lock, what is happening? Why did Master say that the true candidate is here? There’s just a bunch of idiots who practice Morality here! They’re completely irrelevant to the Path of Death!”

“Danny, shut it for a bit. There’s an old ghost next to the idiot in front of the train. His body has a faint accumulation of the Death Maxim; although its merely the faintest of an embryo, it’s still related to the Death Maxim in this realm’s Heavenly Axiom, so it’s still beneficial to the growth of the arcane realm…”

“I see, so that person is the true master of the Undead Realm. Invite him into the train then. I believe that he’ll go wild with joy, just look at his miserable state and imagine the amount of abuse he must’ve endured. How pitiful.”

“Hehe, I think he must’ve killed a lot of Cultivators, so those Morality-cultivating idiots captured him and tortured him until now.”

“Then he’ll be able to murder to his heart’s desire from here on out, he won’t have to worried about being caught. Hahaha… He’ll definitely be grateful for us so once we’ve flourished, a promotion is as good as ours, Rock.”

“That’s right. Once we pick up this guy, the arcane realm will reward us handsomely.”

Everyone was burning with anger at the conversation they were hearing. This pair of evil spirits were still emboldened because of the support they had!

As for old man Ma Dechun, he was still skeptical of what he was hearing.

He was mad with joy at first, but then he felt a gust of cold wind sweep pass him, which he could not help but shiver at.

He silently stole a glance at the expressionless Vigilante A next to him before he immediately straightened up and tried his best to appear dignified and honorable.

However, he could not help but sigh at his fate inwardly.

He could only blame himself for not meeting Vigilante A sooner; if he had appeared last year, he would have definitely been Death itself already!

‘I once had the perfect opportunity right in front of me, yet I didn’t cherish it. If I had the chance to redo things, I would definitely pick a life of justice and would never take advantage of innocent people…’

At this moment, the white-robed clergy Danny appeared atop the engine. He looked towards Ma Dechun from his high position and said, “True candidate of the Undead Realm, please board the train for it will bring you to the pinnacle of your life…”

Alright, they did not even bother mentioning tickets this time around.

Right after his words faded, an exclusive carriage opened its doors slowly, revealing the grand interior. Within the large space, there were stools along a bar, a couch, and even a television set.

Vigilante A watched Ma Dechun coldly but said nothing.

Ma Dechun, however, instead replied with a dignified expression, “I am an honorable person, so I cannot cooperate with evildoers. Your train has a sinister aura, I will not board it.”

‘If you aren’t getting on, why are you standing on the tracks? Are you looking to die?’

The white-robed clergy Danny’s face was red with anger. He immediately berated, “Who are you trying to fool! Your body reeks of death, and who knows how much blood was spilled by your hands, yet you dare call yourself an honorable person?”

The black-robed clergy Rock appeared atop the engine this time as well.

He was slightly more composed. He looked at Ma Dechun as well and calmly said, “True candidate of the Undead Realm, I know you were forced to say that just now. You must be controlled by those Morality-cultivating idiots next to you. Don’t worry, we’ll save you immediately.”

Hearing this, Danny smacked himself on the forehead and immediately apologized, “Sorry, true candidate of the Undead Realm, I was too worked up just now. I behaved that way because I was exasperated that you would willingly give up a heaven-sent opportunity. I’ll immediately start the train so that we can save you, don’t worry.”

Right after they finished speaking, the pair of evil spirits disappeared from where they were standing.

As they had said, the old steam train slowly started once more as it released clouds of gray smoke that surrounded the entire train.

Ma Dechun felt oddly touched at this scene unfolding before his eyes, when was the last time someone had treated him with such reverence and respect?

However, he dared not move or say anything because he knew why the Dragon God and Anderson had summoned him out.

The other members of the Special Investigations Unit were also watching this scene unfold silently as they readied their preparations to strike at first notice.

The pair of evil spirits were weak, but this train was beyond strange and extremely strong.

One, the Yin Energy it possessed was as much as the Morality the Venerable Dragon God had.

Two, its carriages seemed to hide a countless number of scary monsters.

Finally, this train could travel through time and space at will. It appeared and disappeared as it pleased.

With these characteristics, there were not a lot of people that posed an actual threat to it.

It was no wonder this pair of evil spirits, one being the train engineer and the other being the train conductor, were so arrogant!

Now, how were they going to save the true candidate of the Undead Realm, Ma Dechun?

What other mystical things did this Spectral Train hide?

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, the Spectral Train started moving slowly once more.

In the next moment, the entire train disappeared right in front of their eyes, only to reappear again as it brushed past Vigilante A.

At that moment, everyone felt like they had witnessed a familiar sight before—a Mongolian warrior riding his horse pass a woman as the warrior wanted to snatch the woman up onto his horse.

A moment later, the Mongolian warrior, no, the Spectral Train, disappeared completely…

Ma Dechun disappeared together with it as well.

Where did the train go? Did it really successfully carry off Ma Dechun?

If that really were the case, then things were going to get worse. The Undead Realm was already very strong, but now it just might become a holy land of death, the source of fear!

A lot of people immediately started imagining a world where evil spirits ran amok and caused chaos wherever they went.

Qiao Zishan ran over and hesitantly asked, “Venerable One, are you alright? Do you happen to know where the Spectral Train went?”

Vigilante A was stunned for a while before he regained himself to answer, “I’m slightly busy at the moment, I will answer you in a bit.”

Qiao Zishan shared glances with everyone there, ‘Great Hero, you’re merely standing here, what are you busy with?’

…

The Draconic Penitentiary in the System Space.

“That’s impossible! The Spectral Train can travel to countless realms as long as spirits exist there, after we have selected a target, we can immediately bring them with us!”

“What weird place is this? Why can’t we move?”

The pair of evil spirits, white-robed clergy Danny and black-robed clergy Rock, were currently locked away into the same cell.

Their faces were ones of disbelief and confusion.

Fang Ning calmly watched the pair of dirtbags that regarded human lives as dirt and deadpanned, “You’re both in a place where all evil is sent to be judged. Have you ever heard this saying?”

“What saying?” asked the pair immediately.

“The Eastern Pharos shines on the entire world, the Draconic Penitentiary subdues all under the sky!” Fang Ning enunciated each word with purpose as he spoke with strength.

“We’ve never heard it.”

The pair shook their heads at the same time and thought, ‘This fellow is better at bluffing than we are.’

‘All we say is—The Spectral Train, the Undead Realm will never be destroyed, Yin Energy will never fade.’

Everyone knew that the Spectral Train did not just appear out of the blue one day. It was the special ability of the Undead Realm and the Undead Realm was able to cut across all realms to provide Yin Energy for the Spectral Train. This came at a price, of course.

“Then you’ve finally heard of it now. Tell me everything about the Undead Realm, and then you might be able to continue living as a ghost. If you don’t, I’ll have your souls eradicated, and the pair of you will never be able to reincarnate!” berated Fang Ning sternly at the pair of evil spirits.
