This witch, capable of controlling smoke for combat, had left a strong impression on Wu Heng.
During the Pirate King's calculated attack on Gold and Silver Island, it was the witch who held back Steward Imilo.
Later, along with the Church of Divine Punishment's level 18 Fist Master, she attempted to assassinate Wu Heng on the island but was thwarted by Imilo and the old Chancellor 'Gianvito.' They killed the Fist Master, and the witch escaped.
The Fist Master's body was transformed by Wu Heng into the skeleton attendant 'Kai Xiu' he has now.
In the time that followed, fearing the witch's revenge, he even utilized the Prophet's ability to search for her whereabouts.
He hadn't expected to encounter her here.
The shared images continued.
There were a total of five killers acting, and each of their levels was quite high.
And the trap set by the Second Prince was sprung in the city; as soon as the opponents appeared, windows along the street opened, and arrows etched with magic shot out in dense volleys.
Explosions and thunder filled the entire area.
Next came the clash of level 18 combatants, as well as troops in groups starting to emerge from the surrounding streets, flooding into the combat zone.
The sounds of fighting, skills, and the dazzling effects of magic scrolls filled the entire street.
Boom~!
Another deafening explosion resounded.
The carriage that held the Second Prince's double was now shattered to pieces.
Under the broken wood and horse carcasses, a body clad in brocade robes could be seen.
“Retreat~!” someone shouted loudly.
The people in black robes scattered in an instant, some scaling buildings, others charging directly toward the crowd in the square.
People from the Kingdom began to pursue in all directions.
On the battlefield, a large number of soldiers lay dead in the streets, and the body of a person in a black robe was left behind.
At the black-robed person's corpse, a ghost quickly gathered,
Struggling to flee.
Glenda said to Bella beside her, “You devour that ghost; I'll chase that person.”
Bella nodded and immediately pursued the fleeing ghost.
Glenda then followed the smoke-like figure, chasing it all the way to outside the city walls.
The person continued to flee deep into the woods before stopping the pursuit and flying back.
Releasing Glenda.
Drifting nearby, she asked, “Was it that woman?”
“Judging by her appearance and skills, it should be the same witch from before,” Wu Heng said.
According to the Prophet's senses, this witch was headed toward Yeko Kingdom.
It seems that the Church of Divine Punishment had established contact with Yeko Kingdom a long time ago.
Xiao Xiao, listening on the side, frowned, “Who? Do we even know a witch?”
Glenda explained, “Remember the person from when your uncle was Vice-executive, who could spit out smoke and transform into beasts?”
Xiao Xiao's eyes lit up, “Oh, her! What's she doing here?”
Glenda replied, “She must have been hired by the Crown Prince to come here and assassinate the Second Prince.”
“Don't they know it's a fake? Uncle saw through it.”
“Since they made a move, it could be that they didn't realize, or they might just be following orders; even if they discovered it, there wasn't much they could do,” analyzed Glenda.
Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, “No matter, whether she's here or not doesn't make a big difference. If we encounter her later, we can deal with her then.”
Glenda said with a smile, “You're growing more and more confident.”
“That's right, uncle's bolder than he used to be.”
As they spoke, Bella also flew back from the outside.
After glancing at the one person and two spirits, she said, “Wu Heng, I devoured the ghost of a black-robed person and obtained some scattered memories. On my way back, I found someone performing Wenshi. It could be someone from the Secret Cultivation Hall or from the Second Prince's entourage. After inspecting the body, the other party used a Teleportation Technique to leave.”
Wu Heng furrowed his brows and immediately said, “Let me see.”
Bella dived into his body, and countless fragmented and broken memories were shared in his mind.
Wu Heng also saw some of the past experiences of the level 18 black-robed person.
When he was young, the black-robed person was a bandit, plundering villages, raping women–a notorious green forest bandit leader.
Later, a sect called the 'Heavenly Wisdom Sect' appeared in the village to spread their faith. The bandits, who raided the sect at night, were easily defeated by the Heavenly Wisdom Sect and were forced to worship before a strange idol.
In the following days, because he was talented and ruthless, he gradually became a core member of the Church, and after the previous Bishop died, he became the new Bishop.
Scattered memories flickered past.
Next were some recent, more vivid memories.
Inside a lavish room.
The heavy velvet curtains were tightly drawn, completely isolating the outside light.
Only a faint light allowed the room to have a hint of brightness.
Across the room, a middle-aged man with brown, short, slicked-back hair, thick eyebrows and cold eyes, his face stern, sat in a luxurious chair.
He wore a purple robe embroidered with intricate patterns in gold thread.
“So, since you have come here, you must have agreed to the conditions I offered.”
“Your Highness, as long as you keep your promises, I will help you ascend to that supreme throne,” the black-robed man spoke softly.
The man on the other side of the room's smile grew slightly as he said, “If you do well, the land of Yeko Kingdom will suffice to collect your renown.”
The black-robed man rose slightly to show his respects, “Heavenly Wisdom Sect will do everything in its power to help Your Highness achieve his great ambition.”
“Go and prepare now. You will first be stationed in Ergiro City and wait for the others to arrive.”
“Yes!”
The scene changed again.
Inside a dimly lit cabin, five figures sat or stood.
The woman sitting in the corner took out a wrinkled piece of parchment and placed it on the wooden table in the middle, saying, “This is today's list of noble merchants leaving the city; he thinks he's hidden safely, but other officials don't think so. If we kill the speech double, even more officials and nobles will leave the city, and then this city won't be able to function.”
