The Necromancer is amassing troops like crazy in the apocalypse
Chapter 1060

Chapter 1060: Chapter 841, Let's Sit Down and Talk Chapter 1060: Chapter 841, Let's Sit Down and Talk The Archbishop stared at Xi Ligui, his voice low and authoritative, “What I understand seems different from what you said. If someone acted to stop the offender before the crime was committed, can that also be considered an assault?”

“So, we are investigating whether what you said is true, and once the investigation is complete, everything will be clear,” Xi Ligui replied.

The Archbishop remained silent.

A Level 18 Priest beside him then spoke up, “Isn't the investigation simple? Just bring the people out and ask them.”

As expected, the conversation had reached this point.

With so many high-level professionals at the scene, checking whether an ordinary professional was lying was too easy.

In the past, there wasn't even a need to ask.

The word of a powerful person alone was enough to convict.

Xi Ligui didn't know how to respond and glanced at Wu Heng beside her.

Wu Heng calmly said, “The Association will conduct its own investigation; we don't need The Holy Court to intervene.”

The Level 18 Priest's eyes narrowed, “We're not here to discuss with you, do it now, immediately release our people, and hand over the person who followed us for our own interrogation.”

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali both became tense.

As expected, it was an aggressive demand.

Wu Heng felt the oppressive atmosphere around him and said flatly, “Your Holy Court does not have the right to take away a criminal.”

The Level 18 Priest raised his voice, “He is a criminal, we're just dealing with a stalker.”

Wu Heng looked at him, “What I'm referring to is that your Church guard attacked me on Lighthouse Street. Do you understand what this implies?”

The Priest's expression immediately stiffened.

He was actually bringing this up.

“Wu Heng, what do you mean by that? Who knew you were present at the time!” the Priest spoke again.

Wu Heng shrugged, “With such high levels, and I was not in any disguise, how could you not know it was me?”

The Archbishop said coldly, “Wu Heng, stop those childish tricks. Let's focus on the issue of a stranger following our people, and release him.”

Wu Heng said, “I can't release him.”

“Are you openly defying The Holy Court?”

Wu Heng replied calmly, “Judge by the facts, do not drag The Holy Court into everything.”

With those words, the atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze.

“Seeking death.”

The Church Knight sitting on the third chair sneered suddenly, his figure leaped forward rapidly, his iron-gloved hand reached out directly towards Wu Heng's head.

The attacker was a mage, and at such a close distance.

If they could just capture him, everything would be easily resolved.

As words failed to resolve the matter, force was the simplest and most effective method.

Suddenly, the person opposite erupted.

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali's expressions changed.

Panic showed on their faces, but they were also hard to stop.

Buzz~!

Suddenly, a buzzing sound resounded.

Bam~!

A figure flashed quickly, colliding directly into the chest of the Church Knight.

The knight, clad in iron armor, was instantly thrown backward, hitting the wall behind him, then slowly sliding down.

The sudden turn of events stunned everyone in the room.

No one expected the Church Knight to suddenly make a move, nor did they anticipate that the skeleton from the other side would react faster and knock the Level 18 Knight flying.

“You dare…” the Level 18 Priest roared, pulling out a wooden staff.

Bam~!

The next second, his body was also hurled away.

Thereafter, the figures from The Holy Court one by one were thrown out, falling around the room.

The Archbishop, his body glowing brightly, was about to make a move when he saw Kai Xiu and a skeleton resembling a rhinoceros beetle staring directly at him.

Creak~!

The door opened, and personnel from The Holy Court and the Association team crowded in.

Seeing the scene in the room, their expressions changed.

“Everyone out,” the Archbishop said coldly.

The Holy Court personnel at the door withdrew.

Xi Ligui also said, “Get out, stay outside.”

“Yes,” the people from the Association also immediately withdrew.

The light around the Archbishop dissipated, and he turned his gaze back to Wu Heng, saying, “Let's sit down and talk.”

“Alright, Shanshan, come back,” said Wu Heng.

Whoosh~!

A streak of light flashed, and the skeleton flew back.

Shanshan!

The skeleton that had been crashing around was named Shanshan.

Are they children, giving it such a name?

The others struggled to stand up, their faces full of anger looking this way.

After a brief standoff.

The Archbishop then said, “Island Lord Wu Heng, what a skillful tactic, truly a rare talent.”

“You see, you always look at me with a hostile perspective, and that's also the reason for the ongoing conflict between us,” Wu Heng said.

“Tell me, how can we release the person?” the Archbishop asked.

This time, except for the Archbishop, no one else spoke recklessly.

Everyone remained silent, drinking elixirs or casting healing spells on themselves.

“As per the Association's requirements, I'm not targeting you specifically. The Association has its rules. Once the investigation is clear, there will naturally be a next step in how to deal with it,” Wu Heng explained.

The Archbishop narrowed his eyes and said, “That's acceptable, but our people need to observe, which shouldn't be a problem, right?”

“Observation is not allowed. Go and write an application to the headquarters. The Gold and Silver Island Association does not permit observers,” Wu Heng flatly refused.

The Archbishop's expression turned colder, and he showed a smile, “Indeed, the young have confidence. Then, we shall wait for the investigation results from the Association.”

No one spoke here.

The Archbishop rose to his feet, “Let's go.”

Whoosh~!

The others also stood up, ready to leave together.

Wu Heng's gaze once again fell on the Church Knight, and he said, “You can't leave. Attacking and attempting to assassinate the Island Master, stay here for the investigation.”

“You…” The Church Knight's face turned angry, glanced at the Archbishop, and suppressed the anger in his heart, “I apologize to you.”

“There's no need. Either stay or no one leaves,” Wu Heng's tone was even firmer.

The Archbishop glanced over here and said, “Cooperate with the Island Master, and I will take you back in a couple of days.”

The Church Knight nodded and said directly, “Okay, I will stay.”

The Archbishop led his people away.

Wu Heng shouted towards the door, “Someone come here.”

An Association team walked in.

Wu Heng pointed at the Church Knight and said, “Take him down and detain him. If there's any movement, report directly to me.”

The Association team was somewhat stunned, then they said, “Sir Knight, let's go!”

“Hmph!” The Church Knight snorted coldly and followed them out.

…

The tidy, clean meeting room had now become a complete mess.

Chairs and tables were overturned and paintings had fallen to the ground. The walls also showed multiple damages from impacts.

Xi Ligui and Shi Yali both widened their eyes, filled with surprise and disbelief.

It wasn't like this in the corridor earlier.

How did it end up that the people from the Holy Court agreed to their terms and even detained an 18-level Church Knight?

Oh my!

No, was he that powerful?

Defeating two 18-levels and intimidating a 19-level.

Wu Heng, feeling a bit shaken by their stares, said, “What? Are you going to eat me?”

Shi Yali slowly spoke, “What level is your skeleton? It's so powerful?”

“It's also 19-level,” Wu Heng said.

Xi Ligui also chimed in, “Obviously 19-level, could it still have transformed a hero's corpse into a skeleton?”

“You're the smart one,” Shi Yali said and then asked somewhat worriedly, “We went against the Holy Court today, will it get more troublesome later?”

Things had escalated beyond the two sisters' expectations.

Considering their levels, they never imagined Gold and Silver Island would confront the Holy Court directly, reaching a point that seemed difficult to negotiate.

But the situation couldn't be blamed on Wu Heng, since it was the Church Knight who made the first move.

If it weren't for this skeleton, maybe their people would have been the ones getting beaten.

“This is the result of their step-by-step probing. If we don't make them back off today, the entire island will end up under the Holy Court's control in the future,” Wu Heng said.

“Why?” Shi Yali exclaimed.

“The last time a bishop from the Holy Court clashed with Lilith, he just went back to be punished, let alone attacking a minor figure like me,” Wu Heng said.

“These guys,” Shi Yali grit her teeth.

The Holy Court possessed a profound background,

and was especially the world's sole orthodox church.

Although they can't cover the sky with one hand, many of their actions were still very assertive.

And once they caused a disturbance, you really couldn't do much about them.

Xi Ligui took a deep breath, her hand reaching into Wu Heng's palm, and asked softly, “What do we do next?”

“Interrogate these men normally. As a steward, you write a report to the headquarters mentioning these events. Just put it normally, and I'll write to the Hongwen Alliance and Lilith the Leader,” Wu Heng said.

“Alright, let's agree on that,” Xi Ligui nodded.

After discussing, the three of them stood up and left the room.

…

Returning to the church.

The Archbishop and his group all had gloomy expressions, some with clenched fists, their knuckles slightly white.

The Holy Court had never been humiliated like this anywhere, anytime.

Especially not by such a young man and two young girls.

“Archbishop, this issue…” a Priest who accompanied him said.

“This young man is problematic. His skeleton is not low-level and does not show racial traits. It might be the product of some experiment,” the Archbishop spoke, then continued after a pause, “Write two letters. Send one to the Holy Hall, and one to Leader Saidu, and narrate these events exactly.”

“Yes, what about the Association…”

“For now, avoid a conflict with the Association. Ensure our people are well-fed and well-treated, and wait inside for a few days.”
