Chapter 775: Chapter 625, Why Didn't You Die? Chapter 775: Chapter 625, Why Didn't You Die? The confrontation between a person and a soul within the private room still attracted the attention of the guards at the door.
They burst through the door and rushed in, taking a glance at 'Magnoro' standing on the inside, then their eyes widened at the sight of the soul floating to one side.
A ghost…
“Mr. Magnoro… are you alright?” the guard immediately approached, shielding the other behind him.
Magnoro's eyes flickered quickly, and he blurted out, “A ghost suddenly appeared here, trying to kill me; could you please witness this for me so that we can pursue the assailant behind this.”
Glenda's appearance on Gold and Silver Island left no second possibilities.
It was the island lord who had served as captain in Lundham City who had brought her here; otherwise, relying on a ghost alone, she would not have been able to fly this far.
Therefore, I must control the conversation, or else the problem would become even more difficult to solve.
As soon as Magnoro finished his sentence, he immediately took out a scroll and tore it open.
Whoosh~!
A lance formed of Holy Light thrust forward.
Glenda, while invisible, dodged, and the energy lance struck the wall behind her, dispersing into countless beams of light, forcibly revealing 'Glenda' once again.
Whoosh~!
Then, another scroll was opened, and a powerful sword shadow of Holy Light shot forward again.
Bang~!
Suddenly, a silvery-white lightning snake shot in from the doorway.
It collided with the sword shadow, the two magic forces clashing.
Various elements entangled and ravaged each other in the air before dissipating into nothingness.
At the same time, two figures quickly rushed through the door, one with fists bearing tiger claws, the other wielding a longsword.
Their forms turned into two bolts of lightning and reached their opponent in an instant.
Thump puff~!
Two guards collapsed to the ground, responding to the sound.
Downstairs, the accompanying patrol squad began entering the tavern to maintain order.
Meanwhile, they guarded the staircase to prevent other patrons from coming up.
Magnoro's gaze was fixed intently on the person in front of him.
Black hair, black pupils, the Island Lord of Gold and Silver Island.
The relief and chill that had just emerged vanished immediately, transforming into the demeanor of a genteel merchant.
He bowed slightly, “Magnoro, representative of the Cui Valley Chamber of Commerce, I have the honor of meeting you, Lord Island Master.”
Wu Heng examined him up and down before asking, “Did you know that Glenda could become a ghost? You prepared so many items for dealing with ghosts.”
Magnoro's gaze shifted evasively as he hastily explained, “Indeed, it's because of Glenda. Years ago, she ventured deep into the jungle, was ensorcelled by evil spirits, and burnt herself to death after breaking a lamp. Since then, I have carried many items to counteract necromancy.”
Wu Heng looked towards Glenda at the side.
She floated there, her expression filled with desolation.
She had just nearly killed him, adding to the cold words he had spoken, leaving no semblance of emotion.
Looking at her, he suddenly chuckled, “Magnoro, how does someone like you deserve to live? Why are you still alive?”
“Don't get agitated,” Wu Heng turned and said.
Magnoro continued, “Island Lord Wu Heng, I am willing to undergo your investigation, hoping to follow the association's procedures and also to notify our chamber of commerce to inform them of my status.”
“No need for such trouble.” Wu Heng smiled and gestured towards the front.
Two skeletons acted simultaneously.
In the terrified gaze of 'Magnoro,' the shield shattered once again, and the newly-formed shield could not stop the increasingly large fist shadow.
Kai Xiu smashed his throat with one punch.
Magnoro's body staggered back two steps, and in a look of unwillingness and fear, he collapsed in agony.
Glenda looked at the fallen body, wanting to speak but holding back.
She simply dove back into Wu Heng's body and did not come out.
What is this mess!
And Glenda has left.
You're in unlocked status now.
In fact, the earlier struggle between the two saved Wu Heng from a lot of potential trouble.
Magnoro's attempt to kill the soul of Glenda was enough to prove his intentions, also causing Glenda to give up hope.
Especially for someone like Glenda, constantly wanting to ask why.
To say Wu Heng had no lingering thoughts would be unbelievable.
Now, it's settled. First a murder, saving the trouble of dealing with later complications.
But there were also troubles.
A delegate arranged by a chamber of commerce to attend the exhibition had been killed by him directly in the tavern, which was indeed difficult to explain.
If necessary, he would have to use a mask to disguise him as boarding a ship and leaving.
In time, once he disappeared without a trace, there would be no connection with Gold and Silver Island.
“Strip the body of its gear,” Wu Heng said.
The skeleton bent over and stripped the clothing and Space Ring from the corpse.
[Devout Priest Robe]
(Description: engraving protective runes, increases resistance to enchantment, confusion, and Possession effects.)
It seemed he was indeed afraid of ghosts seeking revenge.
A bard was actually dressed in the garb of the Church.
Wu Heng continued to pick up the Space Ring and inspect its contents.
Personal items, a pouch of Gold Coins, three large bags of Silver Coins, and various tools along with several scrolls.
Wu Heng frowned.
With a flip of his hand, two rings appeared in his palm.
One ring had a pattern of an eye on it.
Secret Cultivation Hall!
The former husband was a man from the Secret Cultivation Hall.
Such rings, Wu Heng had seen them before. People with certain statuses within the Secret Cultivation Hall would wear this kind of ring.
It could represent one's identity when meeting with certain people.
The other was a ring with a cat's head on it.
It looked to be of a similar design to those of the Secret Cultivation Hall.
Seems like it was from some sort of organization as well.
“How could he be connected to the Secret Cultivation Hall?” Wu Heng wondered.
“If he's from the Secret Cultivation Hall, then it's even easier to deal with–just turn him over to the association,” he mumbled.
He pulled out a straw mat, wrapped up all three bodies, and stored them in the Space Ring.
He then reopened the door and walked downstairs.
Inside the tavern.
Just as he descended the stairs, both the Patrol Guards and the tavern's patrons looked up at him.
“Lord Island Master,” they greeted with a bow.
Wu Heng nodded with a smile, “Sorry to disturb everyone. I've just received a message that criminals have infiltrated the island under the guise of the chamber of commerce.”
The crowd was shocked, realizing that they had come to apprehend criminals.
No wonder there were so many skeletons present.
“Lord, is… is everything alright?” the tavern keeper asked tentatively.
Wu Heng reassured him, “It has nothing to do with you. The association will announce this matter in due time; there's no need to worry. Please continue enjoying your stories!”
With that, he led his people outside.
A host of skeletons also exited the tavern.
Only after everyone had left.
Did the tavern once again become bustling with noise.
“The Island Master is quite amiable.”
“We haven't done anything wrong, he wouldn't arrest us all.”
“He's much more agreeable than those noble lords.”
At the association, in the conference room.
The door was closed.
All three ghosts were released.
Glenda floated to one side, appearing somewhat absent-minded.
Wu Heng took out the ring from the Secret Cultivation Hall and the other ring with a cat's head and asked, “Glenda, these were found on your former brother-in-law. Was he a member of the Secret Cultivation Hall?”
Glenda pulled herself together and took a careful look.
“I didn't know about this,” she replied.
