Chapter 1542: Shadowless (1/2)

A person appeared in this s.p.a.ce and kneeled down after hearing Li Qiye: “Your Excellency, it is really you!”

It was a gray old man with muddled eyes just like a mortal. He wore a hemp robe and had an ordinary appearance. No one would take a second look at him in a crowd of people as if he was an old farmer.

Li Qiye smiled and personally helped him up: “Rise, no need for formality.”

After being helped by Li Qiye, the old man carefully stared at Li Qiye with his arms shaking. Tears flowed down from his muddled eyes.

“Your Excellency, I didn’t think I could see you one last time.” He emotionally grabbed Li Qiye’s hands.

“I also didn’t think I could see you again. After the night corps disbanded and the elders went their separate ways, I never heard anything from you guys again.” Li Qiye also became sentimental.

The old man was Shadowless. Not only did he have an ordinary appearance, no one knew his name either. In fact, Li Qiye was the only one who would refer to him as Shadowless in this world.

But who would have thought that this ordinary old man was a terrifying existence during the Ancient Ming Era. Even that ferocious race shuddered when talking about Shadowless.

He was the leader of the G.o.dslaying Night Corps, an a.s.sa.s.sin under the banner of the Dark Crow, a devil in the guise of the night. He directly reported to Li Qiye while being the supreme leader of his corps.

He carried out Li Qiye’s will including training and maintaining the orders and rules of the corps.

Of course, a.s.sa.s.sination was included. As long as Li Qiye wanted to kill a big shot from the Ancient Ming, Shadowless would bring the guy’s head to Li Qiye!

After the end of that era, his mission was complete and the corps disbanded. From then on, all the a.s.sa.s.sins disappeared along with Shadowless into the sea of people.

“We have done our job, the nine worlds no longer need the G.o.dslaying Night Corps.” Shadowless quietly said: “Seeing you again, Your Excellency, after so many years of being buried is making me emotional, just like seeing my family again.”

He was an orphan taken in by the Dark Crow and was taught the G.o.dslaying Dao. This resulted in his supreme achievements, allowing him to work as a harbinger of light for the nine worlds.

“It’s been so long but none of you have shown up again.” Li Qiye lamented.

The night corps was his capable a.s.sistants during the darkest time of the world. Though its inhabitants didn’t know of their merits, each a.s.sa.s.sin in the corps had an indelible contribution in bringing about the Emperors Era.

Unfortunately, Li Qiye never met them again after the disbandment. It was because their missions have been finished. After experiencing the murky and perilous h.e.l.l, they deserved peace and rest. This was why Li Qiye didn’t try to find them.

“Our brothers have disappeared in the river of time, only my old bones are left now.” Shadowless found himself unbecoming of an a.s.sa.s.sin due to his current rampaging emotions.

“I have mistreated all of you who should be basking in all the glory and fame.” Li Qiye gently sighed.

“Your Excellency, you have never chased after vanity and fame so why should we?” Shadowless replied: “You have blocked the tides and saved the nine worlds. The world didn’t create memorials for you and never praised your grand deeds. But all of that is nothing compared to the price you have paid!”

“I know, but part of the glory should have been yours.” Li Qiye said.

“To be able to contribute under your banner and being part of the night corps is our glory!” Shadowless said solemnly: “Our sacred mission of restoring the nine worlds is our ultimate glory. Without your will, the nine worlds would still be lost in darkness. Even if we were still living as ordinary people, how could we enjoyed a peaceful time?”

“Let’s not talk about the past.” In the end, Li Qiye sighed again and gently fixed Shadowless’ gray hair.
