#1050 - The Underworld's Plan

"I don't want to get married, Dad!"

Unexpectedly, the first thing her father asked her was when she would get married. Dai was stunned by the question. Then, when she came to her senses, she immediately hid behind Jin and shouted.

"You are already over 40! Your brother got married late but at least he is a man! What about you, a girl!"

"Okay, okay, children have their own ideas. This is normal. Don't worry."

Art was about to say something when Irene interrupted him. After finally seeing the child, this guy forgot how he wanted to die and started talking about why Dai didn't get married. If the child was scared away, Irene would fight with Art, um... Although they didn't have much life to fight for.

"Brother, you are so dishonest. Didn't we agree not to talk about this?"

Dai also whispered behind Jin.

"I didn't say it on my own initiative. It was my father who asked. And I didn't tell him about your scandals either. That's pretty good. If you feel that my father is not doing this well, I can tell him about Katakuri."

Jhin glanced at Dai and said.

"Uh... forget it, no need, no need bro, you've done great."

"Who is that Katakuri?"

Dai was just about to thank Jin when Jin and Dai's aunt came over from the side, looked at Jin and Dai and asked, her eyes full of interest in eating melon, the kind that even her ghost form couldn't stop her from doing so.

"Hmm? Who is Katakuri?"

Art and Irene, who were arguing, suddenly became interested when they heard this and rushed over to ask.

"That... that was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Jhin waved his hands and said with an awkward smile, but it was obvious that his image was not convincing at all, because no one believed him at all. However, just when others were about to ask further questions, the old patriarch Sieg spoke.

"Everyone! Stop for a moment! We need to have a meeting. Ms. Lily wants to ask you something."

The old patriarch Sieg still has some prestige, and no one would object to what Sieg said. Art and Irene looked at Dai, then turned and left. Jhin and Dai both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Look, what did I say?"

Jhin turned and looked at Dai and said.

"Tsk, it would be better if you didn't say anything. Let's go, Sister Lily is probably going to talk about resurrection, and I'm involved in this. But I don't know why, I suddenly don't want my parents to be resurrected so much, otherwise I feel like I will collapse, brother, help me."

Dai said with a sad face.

"I really can't help you with this. There's nothing I can do. Who made you reach this age? Come on, it's your turn to perform."

Jhin patted Dai's shoulder and said with a smile.

About ten minutes later, everyone was seated again in the big tent. However, this time, Lily did not use her ability to make everyone feel alive. Instead, she kept them in ghost state. The purpose was to allow everyone to speak their mind without being disturbed by emotions.

"Okay, everyone is here, Dai, you can show it."

Lily waved at Dai and said.

"Okay, watch me, the soldiers are in formation!"

Dai waved her hand, and an even more obvious aura appeared than on Ghost Island. Several soldiers appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. And unlike on Ghost Island, this time everyone could clearly see that something blue, like a will-o'-the-wisp, was floating from the soldiers' bodies.

“These are!”

The old patriarch Sieg's eyes widened as he looked at the soldiers in front of him, stammering and unable to utter a word. His whole body was trembling. As a dead person, he saw more clearly than the living. The souls of the soldiers just appeared out of thin air, and then the armor of those soldiers wrapped up those souls so easily without any escape. What was going on?

"Count me in! I've been fed up with those damn bandits for a long time!"

“That’s right!”

"And me!"

"Kill them!"

For a moment, the crowd was excited.

Even though they were in ghost state, they began to scream madly at this moment. Perhaps it was precisely because they were ghosts, the undead souls after death, that they had incomparable hatred for the people who killed them in the past. This hatred even turned into substance to a certain extent. Jhin and Dai watched as these uncles and aunts who had originally looked very kind suddenly became hideous, as if they were ready to swallow something into their mouths at any time.

"Boom!"

“Stop!”

The old patriarch Zigg paused vigorously on the cane in his hand and shouted at the people in the audience.

"Ms. Lily, I would like to ask, will this resurrection ability consume too much of your or Dai's strength?"

After hearing the silence below, the old patriarch Sieg turned to Lily and asked.

"No, our idea is similar to fixing a soul inside a body so that it won't fly away. At the same time, relying on the soul's own characteristics and instincts, we can form a quick combat force. I have confirmed before that the Lunaria tribe's control over fire is rooted in your soul. Even if you lose your original body, your power to control fire will not disappear. This is why I came to you."

Lily said without hiding anything, there was no need to hide such things. In some aspects, sincerity was the ultimate skill, especially when recruiting others. Concealment would only create hidden dangers.

"Is that so? Well, I have one last question, Madam Lily. Are there enough metal bodies for resurrection?"

The old patriarch Zieg asked again.

"Well... actually we are still in the process of experimenting. We haven't fully analyzed what's going on yet, so it can't be realized for the time being. But it shouldn't take too long. As long as we can analyze what's going on with this ordinary warrior, there will be no problem."

Dai stood up and said.

"Okay, I understand. Ms. Lily, I can give you an answer. I agree with this plan, but not now. I must know how many places are available and then select the most suitable people. Although our Lunaria people are very talented, not everyone can fight. I can't send people who don't understand tactics and fighting to cause trouble."

The old chieftain Sieg said this very seriously, and his words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing the excitement of the scene. The Lunalia people who had gotten rid of that emotion also understood that the words of the old chieftain Sieg were the most correct.

"Okay, I agree to that, and I'll arrange it as soon as possible."
