Chapter 631: Chapter 517, Who Are You? (5000 words, first update.) Chapter 631: Chapter 517, Who Are You? (5000 words, first update.) {Yesterday’s chapter was edited, brothers who are following the story, please read it again.}
Bishop?

A powerful professional?

It sounds like the Heaven Destiny Cult is quite formal.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and asked, “The leader who brought you here today, what position does he hold in the church?”

“He is our Sect Guardian,” the corpse replied.

Sect Guardian.

Now it seems, the prestige of the Heaven Destiny Cult is not as high as the Church of Divine Punishment.

In the Church of Divine Punishment, a Sect Guardian is an 18th-level professional.

Just one of them is enough to confront Imilo, and two have even made their onslaught onto Gold and Silver Island.

The Heaven Destiny Cult has a 15th-level professional as a Sect Guardian.

An entire level lower.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “Did you know before that the person inside the stone coffin was still alive?”

The corpse paused for two seconds before answering, “I’m not sure, I was just following orders.”

Wu Heng then asked, “Where is your bishop?”

“I’ve heard he is in the Yeko Kingdom, expanding the church!”

After five questions, the corpse lay back down on the ground.

Xi Ligui said from the side, “It seems that the Heaven Destiny Cult has obtained this coffin through some channel, planning to awaken the person inside.”

“Hmm, they even pay such attention to an 18th-level, it seems there aren’t many high-level professionals in the church,” Wu Heng added.

Xi Ligui gave him a disgruntled look, “You talk as if reaching the 18th level is easy.”

Only he would dare to evaluate 18th-level professionals like that.

Wu Heng did not continue the conversation but proceeded to cast “Communicate with the Dead” on the next corpse.

He began to inquire about the situation.

He questioned several corpses in succession about the stone coffin and the Heaven Destiny Cult.

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

When internal chaos arose within the Yeko Kingdom and the management of its surroundings slackened, they began to infiltrate the kingdom.

Their plan was to recruit believers and increase their own influence.

This time, under the leadership of their caller, they launched a nighttime raid on a coastal village, gathering everyone here.

They prepared the ritual, planning to awaken the person inside the stone coffin.

As for who exactly was inside, none of the corpses questioned knew.

All they knew was that an 18th-level powerhouse would help them expand the church.

Wu Heng felt these people weren’t very intelligent.

The Blood Clan member was clearly not easy to control.

They weren’t afraid that after the awakening, the rest might be killed, and then the awakener would simply leave.

…

He had gathered enough information about the matter.

Wu Heng did not continue to ask further questions.

He had the skeleton move the corpses that had been subject to “Wenshi” to the side for burial.

“This Heaven Destiny Cult really deserves to die,” Xi Ligui said after listening, gritting her teeth.

She was still the type to staunchly uphold justice.

I remember, when Wu Heng first arrived on the island.

Upon revealing he was a Necromancer, Xi Ligui almost drew her sword, as if she was ready to kill him even at the risk of punishment.

Latterly, Wu Heng saved her a few times and never did anything bad.

Their relationship improved, fostering a sense of mutual reliance on defending Gold and Silver Island.

Wu Heng said, “Once we get back, we’ll report this and have every place investigate this cult. Before they grow any further, let’s see if we can exterminate them directly.”

Xi Ligui nodded in agreement, “Live human sacrifices, involving so many people, is enough to label them as an Evil Cult.”

“Their bishop might still be in the Yeko Kingdom, don’t report it there either.”

“Okay.”

The two briefly exchanged a few words.

Wu Heng turned his attention back to the head of the Blood Clan member.

From the waist up, only the head and shoulder bones remained; the lower body consisted of the waist down and both legs.

The chest and abdomen had completely disappeared, scattered who knows where.

The missing parts accounted for more than half of the body.

Difficult to convert into a skeleton.

Said to his skeleton attendant, “Go over there and see if you can find the body parts that fell off.”

An 18th-level professional, who can also fly.

If they could be pieced back together, it would definitely be a rare skeleton attendant.

The skeleton attendant, receiving his orders,
moved briskly towards the area where the Blood Clan member had flown, beginning a meticulous search.

Xi Ligui, overhearing his command, guessed some of his intentions.

She cautioned, “You’ve heard about the racial protection act, haven’t you?”

“You’re not saying that the Blood Clan also counts as a rare race, are you?” Wu Heng turned his head.

The racial protection act refers to certain special and small-population races receiving corresponding protections.

Bodies cannot be used for experiments or any form of enslavement.

But in Wu Heng’s opinion,
these were only official restrictions. If the body had a special use, people would still conduct experiments in secret.

As long as you don’t talk about it everywhere, such matters are hard to investigate, and nobody will bother to investigate.

He had learned this from the steward assistant ‘Moya’ when he killed the Spider Killer.

Now unexpectedly, there appeared to be a restrictive act for the Blood Clan as well.

Xi Ligui nodded, affirming that the Blood Clan was included in the act.

Wu Heng raised an eyebrow, “I’ll be quiet about it.”

“Quiet what? So many people saw it, and the other party clearly recognized Leader Lilith. Don’t bring trouble upon yourself,” Xi Ligui whispered.

The other party had specifically mentioned Lilith upon dying.

This matter was no longer that simple.

While the two talked, the skeleton searching for the body parts returned.

It brought back a severed arm, damaged wings, and some assorted internal organs.

A bloody mess.

Still, even with these parts, the requirements for conversion were not met.

Furthermore, what ‘Xi Ligui’ said made sense. If the deceased really were of a higher standing among the Blood Clan, enslaving them would indeed risk complications.

Moreover, he had some prior connection with Lilith and their relationship was relatively good.
