Chapter 1176: Chapter 892, They Wouldn't Come to Poach People, Right?_2 Chapter 1176: Chapter 892, They Wouldn't Come to Poach People, Right?_2 Wu Heng glanced at the gradually opening door, feeling that he was probably allowed to enter.
So he walked straight in and closed the door behind him.
Soon, footsteps came from inside the room, and the Fifth Princess in leather armor stepped out, her big, round eyes filled with surprise, “You're back so soon?”
“I used an artifact to speed up the journey. Where are those people?” Wu Heng asked directly.
“They should still be outside the north of the city,” said the Fifth Princess.
“Let's go now, solve this early, so there's less danger for you later on,” Wu Heng suggested.
The little maid, who was brewing tea, turned around, “Lord Island Master, the tea is almost ready.”
“Let's drink it when we return!” Wu Heng walked to the Fifth Princess's side, placing a hand on her shoulder.
A light circle formed beneath their feet in the blink of an eye, and the two disappeared.
The maid's eyes widened.
The princess was just taken away like that?
In the wilderness.
A golden array appeared, and Wu Heng with the Fifth Princess materialized at the Phantom Train's stop.
The Fifth Princess was still a bit disoriented, shivering as she realized the room had changed to the wilderness.
Wu Heng asked, “The north side, right?”
“Yes! The last intel said they were on the outside north of the city,” the Fifth Princess replied.
Wu Heng took out a flying carpet, had her sit on it with him, and headed towards the north of the city.
On the way, the Ghost Bella flew back into his body, sharing a vision with him.
Inside a stone hut resembling a hunter's cabin, four figures in black robes.
From Bella's perspective, one was level 18, two were level 16, one was level 15.
Quite a luxurious lineup indeed.
After viewing, he released the ghost and asked the princess beside him, “Four people, all in black cloaks. Any others?”
The Fifth Princess, holding his arm, answered, “There were four people who fled.”
“Then it must be them.”
The numbers matched, and adding in the content of their discussion, it was most certainly them.
The flying carpet swiftly approached the hunter's hut. After landing, “Wait here for me.”
With that, he walked towards the stone hut.
Getting close, he heard screams and curses inside the hut; the level 18 robed man burst out through the door.
Sizzle–Bang!
Lightning Binding shot out, the figure that had just stepped out of the door was flung back.
Wu Heng followed inside. On the floor lay three bodies, with necks twisted by the Ghost, and the level 18 robed man with a charred chest, violently coughing up blood.
Lightning Binding was released again, keeping the struggling figure who tried to rise completely subdued.
Mansion Skill was activated to reveal a large space behind the stone door, along with a few skeletons.
“Carry these bodies inside.”
The skeletons came out, dragging the bodies into the Mansion Skill.
“Turn their heads forward, gently, don't twist them off.”
The skeletons repositioned the bodies' heads correctly.
Once everything was ready, Revival Technique was cast, and the chests of the bodies heaved as they ejected the blood accumulated in their chests.
With a thought, four cages formed in the space, imprisoning all four individuals.
“You're not from here, what exactly do you want to do?”
“Are you the Island Master of Gold and Silver Island? Are you that Island Master from Gold and Silver Island?”
“I can give you money, let's talk this through.”
“I'll also give you money.”
The four shouted loudly, trying to negotiate their release.
Wu Heng waved, and the mouths of the four disappeared.
They could only remain in their cages, full of terror and anxiety.
Mansion Skill closed up, and Wu Heng left the stone hut, with the Fifth Princess promptly greeting him, “Lord Island Master.”
“It's over; let's go back.”
His hand rested on her shoulder, an array appeared, and the two vanished.
Inside the dormitory.
Wu Heng and the Fifth Princess reappeared, and the little maid stammered, “Prin… Princess, Lord Island Master, you've returned already!”
The Fifth Princess also looked towards Wu Heng.
At that time, the robed man was blown back, but they must all be dead, right?
Wu Heng said, “They're all dead, don't worry.”
The master and servant both exhaled in relief.
“Thank you, Lord Island Master,” the Fifth Princess thanked, and the maid followed suit with a bow.
Both sat back down on either side of the desk.
The tea that was prepared earlier was still steaming.
Wu Heng said, “I will arrange a high-level skeleton to protect you; it should make you safer.”
The Fifth Princess was about to modestly decline, but didn't know quite what to say.
She indeed needed some protection; she couldn't expect the Island Master to come to her rescue every time there was trouble.
This time they had waited for reinforcements from the association; next time, they might not even have a chance to wait.
“Thank you, sir,” she thanked.
Mansion Skill opened again, and Wu Heng said, “Kai Xiu, come out.”
The level 18 Fist Master Kai Xiu came out from within the Mansion Skill and stood obediently aside.
“From now on, you're responsible for protecting the Fifth Princess. That's her,” Wu Heng gestured towards the princess across from him.
Kai Xiu, with its empty sockets, looked across, then immediately walked over and stood behind the princess.
“Island Master, isn't this your Attendant? To give him to me…” the Fifth Princess hesitated.
Kai Xiu had always protected Wu Heng before.
Now he was given to her.
“Protect her for now,” Wu Heng said simply.
Seeing that he had made the arrangement, the Fifth Princess also nodded gratefully, “Yes, Lord Island Master.”
Then, Wu Heng continued to take out two train tickets and pushed them across the table, “These are two Special Item train tickets. Tear them up when there's danger, and write 'Gold and Silver Island' on your itinerary book.”
“The Phantom Train?” The Fifth Princess immediately realized upon seeing the tickets.
It seemed she had heard about it. The Phantom Train was legendary in the Yeko Kingdom, so her knowledge of it was not surprising.
“That's right, the Phantom Train. When you're on the train, remember to watch the time to eat and relieve yourself, and don't tell anyone. If your enemies know you have a ticket, you might not even get the chance to use it,” Wu Heng instructed.
