“Yes!”

Due to the situation that had just occurred, the two teams conducted another thorough check on the island.

They quickly returned, “Steward, no dangers were detected, the formation has been destroyed in the fight, and the stone coffin is still in its previous location, nothing out of the ordinary.”

Xi Ligui nodded and also let out a sigh of relief, then continued to inquire, “What’s the situation with those slaves?”

The captain of one team explained, “Villagers from the Yeko Kingdom, they were brought here by these people.”

“Villagers?”

That was indeed unexpected.

“Yes, villagers. They could give their exact addresses, and they could verify that they all came from the same village. They said that a few nights ago, these people landed on the island, killed a portion of the villagers, and the rest were captured and brought here, for purposes unknown.”

Xi Ligui rubbed her temples and then instructed, “Keep an eye on them, and take them back when we leave.”

“Yes.” The team responded and quickly left.

…

“What do you think these people were brought here for?” Xi Ligui looked over.

Wu Heng said, “I suspect they wanted to use the killing to resurrect the person in the coffin.”

“Resurrect?”

“Yes, let’s interrogate the dead. It will be good for the report when we return.” Wu Heng signaled to the skeleton, who dragged several robed corpses over.

[Communicate with the dead] released.

The first corpse slowly sat up.

Wu Heng asked, “Who are you?”

The corpse replied, “We are followers of the Heaven Destiny Cult.”

Wu Heng looked at Xi Ligui, who shook her head, indicating she had never heard of them.

Wu Heng continued, “What did you capture these people for?”

The corpse replied, “Following the bishop’s orders, to awaken a powerful professional.”

Awaken?

“What do you mean by awaken?”

The corpse replied, “It is said the body has fallen into some sort of Deep Sleep, and only a special method can awaken it.”

It seems it really did have something to do with resurrecting the body in the coffin.

“Is your bishop here?”

“No.”

“Where is he?”

“In the Yeko Kingdom.”

After answering five questions, the corpse fell back down.

This matter, as the two of them had surmised, involved bringing these people here to awaken the body in the stone coffin.

Ordinarily speaking,
an 18th-level professional indeed belongs to the top echelon of power.

Wu Heng continued to interrogate two more corpses, asking about the stone coffin and the matters concerning the Heaven Destiny Cult.

The Heaven Destiny Cult was a sect established in recent years.

And now, amidst the internal chaos of the Yeko Kingdom, they directly captured a group of people to awaken the one in the stone coffin.

Before opening it, they also didn’t know who was sealed inside.

…

“This Heaven Destiny Cult, they truly deserve to die.” Xi Ligui clenched her teeth in anger.

Capturing so many people just to awaken a member of the Blood Clan.

“When we get back, we will report this matter and have all regions investigate this cult. While they have not yet grown strong, let’s see if they can be annihilated,” Wu Heng said.

“Yes, this is enough to define them as an Evil Cult.”

Wu Heng nodded, continuing to look at the severed head of the Blood Clan member on the ground.

The body was too damaged to transform it into a skeleton.

“Go over there and see if you can find the rest of his body that fell.” Wu Heng told the skeleton.

An 18th-level professional, capable of flight.

Exactly what he needed.

Xi Ligui watched him and reminded, “You’ve heard of the Species Protection Act, haven’t you?”

“`
Wu Heng was startled, “You’re not saying that even the Blood Clan is considered a rare species, are you?”

The Rare Species Protection Act refers to certain special and sparsely populated species that are accorded corresponding protection.

Bodies cannot be taken for experimentation or subjected to any form of enslavement.

Wu Heng believed that if the effects on corpses were good, there would still be quite a few people who would choose to experiment quietly or enslave them.

This information was conveyed to him by the assistant steward ‘Moya’ when he killed members of the Spider Tribe.

“I did it quietly.”

“Quietly my foot, so many people saw it, and besides, the leader from headquarters, Lilith, is always dominant and imperious,” Xi Ligui glanced at him.

Meanwhile, the skeletons searching for severed limbs had returned.

They had only found two arms, but parts like the rib cages were no longer recoverable.

Unable to transform such things, Wu Heng did not feel too regretful in his heart.

“After returning, we’ll Communicate with the dead, and then send the corpse to headquarters. How they deal with it is none of our concern, after all. An 18th-level enemy — we should strive to have it counted as a first-class Merit for us,” Xi Ligui said as she saw his face filled with regret.

She offered a way to compensate for the losses and spoke out.

“Alright, let everyone search the area, and then we’ll set sail back,” Wu Heng agreed.

“Good!”

The group began to clean up the site.

Wu Heng transformed all the bodies of the black-robed individuals.

Although the 18th-level body was kept by Xi Ligui, among the followers of the Heaven Destiny Cult, there was also a 15th-level body.

It was transformed into a skeleton attendant.

So the trip was not a total loss.

After everything on the island was rounded up.

The group reembarked, taking a large number of villagers they had rescued and began their return to Gold and Silver Island.

The eventual arrangements for these people would have to wait until later.

…

One day and one night later.

The ship returned to the port of Gold and Silver Island.

Xi Ligui took the group back to the association to verify the dead and conduct identity verification again for the villagers brought back.

As the Island Master, Wu Heng went directly back to his residence.

After resting well at home for an afternoon,
he descended from the upstairs, joining several maids for dinner.

Andre Willow said, “Master, the first batch of White Gunpowder and steel plates have been delivered. The White Gunpowder is stored in the Space Ring, and the steel plates are kept in the warehouse to the east of the city, guarded by skeletons.”

White Gunpowder is somewhat hazardous,
and even for transport, it is generally stored inside a Space Ring.

The climate on Gold and Silver Island is not low in temperature.

Wu Heng nodded, “Okay, leave it there for now. I will take it back directly when needed.”

“Yes.”

After dinner,
they chatted in the courtyard, watching Xiaobai the owlet chasing butterflies among the flowerbeds.

It wasn’t until late at night that they returned to their rooms to rest.

…

The next day, at Lopaz City.

Wu Heng entered the VIP room.

The person in charge, ‘Retili,’ followed closely behind, “Guest, you have arrived a bit early.”

This morning, Wu Heng hurried over.

The staff in the hall were still cleaning.

“Sorry for the disturbance,” he apologized.

Retili was startled but immediately said, “I should be the one apologizing. You are welcome here anytime, no matter what.”

Wu Heng nodded, “Has the Flame Furnace I ordered last time been completed?”

Retili smiled confidently,
“It’s ready. Please wait a moment.”
