“To avenge the members of the society who perished earlier, and in anger over the warrants issued by the association throughout the lands.”

The situation was much as they had guessed.

The most direct reason for their visit was the disruption of their last plan, and the association's awareness of the Heaven Destiny Cult had resulted in increased warrants.

Xi Ligui pondered for a moment before continuing to inquire, “Will there be others coming after him?”

“Unclear.”

“What is the name of your bishop? I'm asking for his real name.”

“Unclear.”

“Where was your previous base?”

“Salovina Port, a fishing village to the east.”

After answering five questions, the corpse fell back with a thud.

Xi Ligui signaled the next one, and Wu Heng released [Communicate with the Dead], and the corpse sat up.

Xi Ligui asked, “Where is your bishop currently?”

“Unclear.”

“The general location, or his last known whereabouts.”

After pondering for a moment, the corpse answered, “The eastern region of the Yeko Kingdom.”

Xi Ligui nodded, paused briefly to give the investigators time to record the information.

Once the recording was finished, she continued, “Tell me about the Heaven Destiny Cult. Who are the core members? Speak of those you know.”

Time slowly passed.

Wu Heng released [Communicate with the Dead], and Xi Ligui began the questioning.

Xi Ligui was more detailed and serious in her inquiries than on any previous occasion.

It was evident that Xi Ligui truly intended to root out the Heaven Destiny Cult, not just the ordinary members, but the entire cult.

According to the intelligence gathered,

the Heaven Destiny Cult began to infiltrate the Yeko Kingdom during a time of political instability.

They recruited followers while also soliciting high-level professionals.

Currently, there was one bishop, the strongest member of the church, whose level and profession were unclear.

There were two Great Knights, one of whom was a Necromancer.

There were five Sect Guardians, at level 15 or close, who could become Sect Guardians if they were near the threshold.

These were all the powerful figures; the rest were ordinary members of the cult.

The number of members made it difficult to issue precise warrants.

After Xi Ligui finished her questioning, she turned to those behind her, “Have you all written everything down?”

The investigators nodded, “We have written it all down.”

“Organize it and bring it to my study later, I will report to headquarters in the next few days.” Xi Ligui turned and walked outside.

“Yes, Steward.” The two investigators also followed her out.

Wu Heng did not follow them out.

Instead, he found an empty morgue and took the Necromancer's body out of the Space Ring.

He laid it in the middle of the vacant area.

The body had been riddled with holes, and being a mummy, it looked like a pile of rotting flesh.

He directly released [Bone Command Technique] to begin the transformation.

Necromantic power enveloped the body, flesh started to fall off, but the skeleton did not rise.

It just mixed with the falling flesh.

“As expected, it's not possible.”

Accord to records from the Book of Necromancy, Corpse Ghosts used a ritual to transform their bodies into something akin to a carcass.

No longer alive, nor capable of feeling pain,

The body, more like a container, was transformed so that it would not decay over time.

This type of body was not transformable because it had already been transformed.

But still, an 18th-level body was difficult to simply accept as untransformable, so he tried, and as expected, it did not work.

“After all this effort, the greatest gain is the Soul Capturing Jade.”

He had the skeletons tidy up the body and throw it out.

Wu Heng also left the morgue, greeted Xi Ligui, and then returned to his own quarters.

Island Master's Manor.

Wu Heng rearranged the defensive skeletons, having the remainder spread out to protect the manor.

Then, he released [Mansion Skill], cracks, and stone doors appeared in succession.

This also revealed the scene behind them.

In a luxurious bedroom combined with a grassy meadow hot spring,

Andre Willow, Millicent, and Annette sat on a couch on one side, chatting with beaming faces.

On the other side, Mini, Robey, and Philippa were playing in the water of the spring.

Wearing somewhat cute undergarments, their giggling voices filled the entire room.

The door opened and everyone was momentarily stunned.

When they turned and saw Wu Heng, surprising delight spread across their faces.

Wu Heng clapped his hands, “It's time to go home.”

“Yay, we're going home!”

“It's over, I knew Wu Heng would be fine.”

Mini and Philippa were the first to run out and flung themselves into Wu Heng's arms.

Soon after, the other maidservants also came out.

Andre Willow asked, “Master, is the matter resolved?”

The others also looked up expectantly.

He had them hide because the enemy was formidable, but unsurprisingly, the resolution came quicker than expected.

“`

Just one day, and it was over.

“Dead, killed right in front of the association's doorway, the assistant stewards nearly lost their lives at the hands of the attacker,” Wu Heng whispered.

“Ah~! That's so dangerous,” Mini exclaimed.

Andre Willow also looked somewhat solemn.

She had been an assistant before.

Normally, assistants wouldn't be involved in anything dangerous.

The fact that the attacker went after the assistants first clearly suggested the possibility of revenge, no wonder they hid them first.

“Pirates?” Philippa asked curiously.

“Members of an evil cult,” Wu Heng said, patting their heads, and then turning off the [Mansion Skill], adding, “Let's prepare dinner, Millicent and Philippa. You two can go back tomorrow, wait until things have calmed down.”

“As you wish, sir,” Millicent saluted.

Philippa then shouted, “Mini, wanna race swimming?”

“I'm going to prepare dinner, who's thinking about you, acting like a child.”

“No way, you weren't like this just now.”

After dinner.

The maids continued to chat in the living room.

Wu Heng went back upstairs to his study.

The air conditioning was turned on, and he sat down on the chair.

He released Xiao Xiao and Glenda from the Space Ring.

“Is it all over?” Glenda asked.

“It's over, those who came to the island are all dead. Also, a few hidden carrion and the necromancer died, which caused the remaining to disperse,” Wu Heng responded.

“That's good!”

Xiao Xiao's eyes widened as she flew from the left side to the right, questioning, “What are you talking about? What carrion, who died? Why don't I know about this?”

Wu Heng explained with a smile, “A necromancer came to the island with very fierce and vicious ghosts, so I didn't let you out. It was Aunt Glenda who handled it.”

Xiao Xiao blinked, flew close to him to meet his gaze, “Uncle, you don't trust me.”

Then she flew to Glenda's side, “He's playing favorites.”

Glenda laughed and said, “It was indeed very dangerous at that moment, full of fierce ghosts, scarier than the horror movies you watch. They were everywhere, like swarms of bugs.”

Xiao Xiao shivered, “Then he's stronger than Uncle, right?”

“How can you say that? I killed him, so how could he be stronger than me?”

“But he had more ghosts, you only have the two of us.”

“His ghosts are not as smart as mine, nor as good-looking,” Glenda said with a smile.

Xiao Xiao coyly replied, “You're right, there's nothing to do, I'm off to watch TV.”

“Go ahead.”

“Mmhm,” Xiao Xiao flew to the side.

Glenda also went to another corner and started reading a book.

Wu Heng still sat at his desk.

He began to ponder over the events that had transpired.

Though the matter with the Heaven Destiny Cult coming to the island was resolved, there was always a chance that the Earth Destiny Cult or the Soil Destiny Cult might come to the island in the future.

The intelligence network on the island was indeed lacking.

Millicent's tavern could indeed collect some information from caravans and lodging patrons.

But it still wasn't comprehensive enough, and in sudden situations, it couldn't provide effective intelligence.

The Old Barrel was a bit more reliable after all.

That woman with six arms, though not exactly a reputable character, hadn't done any real harm as far as he could tell. Otherwise, 'Imilo' would have chopped her down by now.

To grasp control of the harbor's intelligence.

For dangerous individuals, dangerous items, she was more professional.

“If she could come back to work for the Island Lord's Mansion, that would indeed be beneficial,” Wu Heng considered.

He took out a special item, the [Passionate Goose Feather Pen], and a bottle of ink filled with vital essence from the Space Ring.

He thought about the wording for a moment.

Then he started writing on the stationary.

When a letter was filled with red characters.

He put it in an envelope, laid it on his palm.

Recalling the look and name of 'Mackintosh,' the leader of the Old Barrel, in the next instant, the envelope in his palm suddenly vanished.

It was sent.

Wu Heng looked at his empty palm and arched his eyebrow.

“She really faked her death to escape.”

In Bargork City, a mixed territory of humans and the Bermola clan.

In a room on the third floor of a place known as the Barrel Tavern.

'Mackintosh,' who was dressed in dark purple attire conducive to Qi flow, suddenly woke from her sleep.

Sitting up from her bed, she looked towards one side of her pillow.

Staring at that blank envelope.

Mackintosh's pupils dilated instantly.

The sensation of crisis, of being watched after a secret had been discovered, instantly rose within her.

“Does he know about my plan?”
