With the help of the secret passage, the map in Gu Xi's hands became useless.

Because the information recorded on this map is not as comprehensive as what the old man remembers.

There was no need for Gu Xi to take out a map or anything; as long as Gu Xi spoke, the old man could immediately find the secret passage from the past.

Then Gu Xi stepped forward and used a Summoning to lure the person out. After saying a few words, the matter was pretty much settled.

Most of the undead will give Gu Xi (the Death Lord) some face.

Only a very small number of undead will choose to remain neutral again for various reasons.

A large part of the reason is that they have better privileges. After joining Gu Xi, at most they still have those privileges, but they can't get any promotions.

Therefore, they were unwilling to join, but they had no intention of being enemies with Gu Xi. Instead, they politely explained the situation, sent Gu Xi away, and assured him that as long as Gu Xi was there, they would definitely provide Gu Xi with enough help.

Just like the old man who opened the secret passage.

Most of the remaining neutral beings chose to join Gu Xi's team.

Some of them had their own ideas, some simply didn't want to work there anymore and wanted to move to another place, and others wanted to gain authority even if they didn't have it.

After circling around, when Gu Xi arrived at the gathering point that Isabella had mentioned, his Death Lord level had increased by 1 level.

This shows how many undead Gu Xi subdued this time.

Even the old man who was leading the way was impressed by Gu Xi's actions and followed him obediently. Although he hadn't changed his address yet, Gu Xi believed that he could completely command the old man in the future.

However, neither the old man nor Gu Xi spoke up, and the two remained in this state of affairs.

"Mr. Gu, the gathering point marked on the map is right here. Just walk forward for about 500 Domi."

After escorting Gu Xi out of the secret passage, the old man pointed in a direction and spoke to Gu Xi.

Gu Xi had gotten used to the old man's situation; the old man could lead Gu Xi in and out of the secret passage.

But no matter what, he would not leave the entrance to the secret passage by more than ten meters.

So each time, he would point in a direction and let Gu Xi go find the person he was looking for.

This time was no different. After thanking the old man, Gu Xi jumped onto the Evil Coffin and headed towards the gathering place.

Shaya followed behind Gu Xi, and as they moved forward, Shaya said, "My lord, do you really believe that there are a large number of undead gathered here?"

"Believe."

Sitting on the Evil Coffin, Gu Xi thought for a moment and then said decisively, "I have encountered similar situations before, except that last time it was the former dean who died in his position and had a special grave. This time it is some faculty members."

This situation is actually quite reasonable.

However, they didn't interact with outsiders before, so not many people knew about it.

As they were talking, Gu Xi and his companions arrived at the location shown on the map.

Before me lay a desolate place, a rarity among the mountains, with nothing but empty rocks and sand, not even a blade of grass on the ground.

However, both Gu Xi and Shaya could see that something was clearly wrong.

Gu Xi and Shaya exchanged a glance, raised their Cold Wind Staff, and threw a Summoning at the open space in front of them.

As the Summoning was cast, the scene of the dead emerging directly from the ground, as before, did not appear before Gu Xi.

It was as if a scroll had been unfurled before his eyes, Gu Xi a chaotic market.

The market in front of us is pieced together from a large number of tents, including proper cloth tents, leather tents with red roofs, and some tattered tents made of clothes sewn together.

When the market appeared before Gu Xi was also taken aback.

The next instant, Gu Xi saw many undead emerge from the tent. Among these undead were ordinary Skeleton, Zombie, and Ghost, as well as some high-level undead. Gu Xi even saw some animal-like undead here.

Regardless of their current situation, they all looked at Gu Xi, staring intently at Gu Xi, seemingly considering how best to make their move.

Gu Xi was not afraid of these undead. He could see that they were all surrounded by a yellow aura.

If it's neutral, then there's nothing to worry about.

Gu Xi stepped forward and waved to them.

Hello everyone.

As soon as he spoke, the aura above most of the undead turned pale green.

It's clear that these spirits develop a favorable impression simply because Gu Xi speaks.

At this moment, Gu Xi knew immediately that things were stable.

He took out the keys, held them above his head, and said loudly, "As you can see, the new college is about to be established, and I will become the Department Head of a department within the new college."

I need some help to fill the positions for faculty and staff in the department, and of course, some positions for non-faculty and staff. I know that there are many vacancies now.

These positions all need staff, and you used to be faculty members in the college.

Even though I've been laid off and lost my authority, my previous experience still applies, right?

If you're willing, I can push you up there.

Of course, it doesn't matter if I can't push it up, I still have a city of my own.

There is a significant shortage of manpower.

I imagine you've all been ostracized, haven't you? If you're willing, you're welcome to come work in my city anytime.

As Gu Xi stated these conditions, the aura above the heads of the undead here changed from light green to dark green.

The last Skeleton raised his arm. "I want to join you, but I don't want to stay in this academy anymore. I want to go to your city."

"Sure, you're welcome!"

As he heard a ding, a smile appeared on Gu Xi's face.

[You have persuaded an undead to join your party. The Death Lord gains 1 experience point.]

Once there is a first place, there will naturally be a second and a third.

Soon the spirits began to state their demands.

Gu Xi did not agree to everyone's requests. He would only agree to those who were willing to enter the Aryadovi City immediately. As for the rest who wanted positions in the academy, Gu Xi needed to check whether these undead conflicted with his previous arrangements.

The undead were even more impressed by Gu Xi's responsible attitude. Some of them, having realized there was no place for them in the academy, decided to settle for the Aryadovi City.

Gu Xi did not mind such choices; on the contrary, he welcomed them and would immediately send anyone who was willing to join.

In less than half an hour, Gu Xi had sent away more than half of the dead here.

Although the remaining spirits did not join Gu Xi, none of them made things difficult for Gu Xi.

This demonstrates the immense power of the Death Lord.
