Chapter 722: Chapter 585, Fierce Ghost Chapter 722: Chapter 585, Fierce Ghost “`
Rustle~!
In the astonished gazes of the onlookers.
The Skeleton with “Patrol Guard” emblazoned on it immediately sprang into action, drawing weapons from its waist and swiftly encircling several gang members in the middle.
The gang members' eyes widened.
The leading Beastman kept looking at the Skeletons, then at the man who was stopped.
Someone capable of commanding the Skeletons of the City Lord's Mansion.
But that wasn't any team leader that he recognized. Clearly, this wasn't someone from outside.
The demeanor of the leading Beastman became respectful, and he spoke in a hushed and soft voice, “My lord, who are you?”
Wu Heng looked at him and asked, “Does Lundham City have a rule about paying a deposit to pass through?”
“Pay to whom?”
“These gang members.”
“There's no such rule. The roads were built by Lady Wen Mansha, how could someone charge a fee for them?” answered the Beastman honestly.
The expressions of several gang members began to show panic.
They wanted to step forward to explain, but the Skeletons blocked them outside.
They shouted from a distance, “My lord, there's been a misunderstanding.”
“My lord, we're new here. We're not familiar with the rules; please spare us just this once.”
“We were wrong.”
Wu Heng glanced at the few men and said, “Take them into custody and send them to the City Lord's Mansion.”
“Yes, my lord,” the Beastman responded and turned to the Skeletons, “Tie them up.”
The Skeletons immediately tightened the encirclement and swiftly pushed the gang members to the ground.
They took out ropes and tightly bound the captives.
“Don't crowd around, clear the road,” the Beastman captain barked again.
The crowd also made way for a path.
Wu Heng twisted the throttle and left the area, heading into the Outer City Area where there were fewer people.
The rest of the journey was trouble-free.
It seemed that the security in the Outer City Area and the Inner City District was much better than in the areas outside the city.
The residents' situation also appeared to be somewhat better.
The road became smoother, and the motorcycle's speed gradually increased.
Heading in the direction of the City Lord's Mansion.
City Lord's Mansion.
The gate opened, and Wu Heng stored away his motorcycle, striding inside.
The housekeeper hastened out to see.
Upon discovering the helmet-less Wu Heng, she quickly ran back inside.
Then, Wen Mansha, draped in a deep blue shawl and supporting her bulging belly, slowly walked out with the assistance of the housekeeper.
Seeing that it was indeed Wu Heng, her eyes sparkled with surprise and joy.
“Master…” Wen Mansha called out sweetly.
The housekeeper also followed, calling out 'Master'.
Wu Heng quickly walked over, supporting Wen Mansha on the other side, and said, “Why did you come out? What if you catch a cold?”
“I'm not that delicate. I walk out here every day,” Wen Mansha let go of the housekeeper's hand, resting it on the other side, slowly walking back.
“Even so, try to come out less. Just move around inside the house.”
“Did everything go smoothly for you, Master?”
“Pretty smooth. Oh, when I was entering the city, I encountered the Baiyan Gang collecting a deposit fee for entry,” Wu Heng said.
Wen Mansha's brows rose slightly, but without much surprise.
She said, “Recently, the population outside the city has been increasing, and it's indeed been somewhat chaotic. Did you pay them?”
“Being extorted by a gang on my way home would be laughable. I had the patrolling Skeletons capture them, they'll be sent here soon,” Wu Heng replied.
Wen Mansha said with a smile, “I'll deal with them in a bit, as a way to vent your annoyance.”
“It's not a big deal, just as long as those gang members are kept in line.”
“Okay!”
They returned to the house together, where the warmth from the air conditioning greeted them.
The housekeeper hung the outerwear to one side.
Wu Heng sat down beside Wen Mansha, gently touching her belly, “It seems to be moving inside.”
Wen Mansha said with a smile, “It's getting more and more restless.”
“It will be worth it,” Wu Heng said.
“Thank you.”
“`
“Not at all, this is our baby, I'm thrilled!”
Wu Heng gently embraced the other person, and Wen Mansha obediently leaned into his arms.
They sat in the living room and chatted for a while.
Wu Heng said, “Let's go, take me to see the body first.”
“It's outside.”
The two stood up, donned their robes, and walked out of their residence together.
Wen Mansha led him to a storeroom-like building in the courtyard, opened the large doors of the storeroom, revealing the clutter inside.
And in the corner, a coffin.
“It's warm in the house, so it was kept here,” Wen Mansha explained from the doorway.
“No problem,” Wu Heng entered the storeroom, and the skeleton opened the coffin, revealing the body inside.
The skin was pale and purplish, with a gruesome, horizontal cut on the neck, the expression frozen in pain and despair.
But it was indeed Bella.
His first informant in name.
“Lift it out!”
The skeleton lifted the body out of the coffin, and the entire body was stiff as a board.
It was carried out by two skeletons, by the shoulders and feet, and placed on the ground.
Wu Heng was just about to step forward.
A voice of a female housekeeper came from behind.
“Lady, the people from Baiyan Gang have been brought over, they're in the hall over there!”
Wu Heng turned back to look, and Wen Mansha said with a smile, “I'll go to the front and have a look, I'll come back to find you after I've dealt with it.”
“Wait for me in the house after you're done, it's too cold to be outside.”
“Yes, okay,” Wen Mansha nodded, leaving with the housekeeper.
Wu Heng turned his attention back to the body.
He took out the ritual materials and placed them in the designated positions on the body.
Holding a wooden rod, he gathered his magic power and thrust it into the ground forcefully.
Whoosh~!
An array for the ritual gradually spread out from the center of the body.
[Awakening the Soul Spirit].
A spell that could awaken the soul of the body, it was also a high-level spell that Wu Heng had recently learned.
It was just uncertain whether it could achieve the effect described.
It was also Bella's last hope.
Once the array formed, energy converged towards the body.
Wu Heng took out a 'Demon Soul Pot' once again and placed it into the ritual array.
The soul inside the Demon Soul Pot was drawn out by the array.
A vague silhouette of a woman emerged.
The soul imprisoned in the Demon Soul Pot belonged to the only female among the three exiles of the Blood Clan.
Wu Heng was unsure whether gender would have an impact, but having a ghost of the same sex at hand, he chose to use it first.
The ghost appeared, looking around in terror.
Even without recognizing the array on the ground, it felt itself being pulled toward the body.
“Necromancer, you can't do this.”
“The Blood Clan won't let you off, you will be tormented endlessly.”
“Don't, let's talk this through nicely, with your handsome looks, you must be the scion of some great family, we should talk in the way of nobles.”
“I beg you, stop the array, I don't want to die.”
From the initial howling to the subsequent pleading.
Bit by bit, it was pulled by the array into the body's interior.
Then, the energy of the array surged violently.
Magic power flooded toward the body like a tide.
The next second.
The array abruptly ended.
A fierce ghost burst out from the center of the body's forehead.
With a blurred appearance, it glanced at Wu Heng and the skeletons beside him, let out a roar, and flew through the roof towards the sky.
Damn!
