No matter how much he collided against it, he couldn’t leave the range of the formation.

Realizing he couldn’t escape, the ghost glared with ferocious eyes, “You really are from the Association, you damned bastards.”

“Ask away!” Wu Heng looked towards Xi Ligui.

The latter shook her head, “You ask.”

“What on earth do you want?” the ghost roared loudly.

Wu Heng looked at the corpse and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Pfft!” The ghost scoffed.

Wu Heng activated his necromantic power, and within the formation, strands of energy vines whipped the ghost’s form.

In the midst of the whipping, the ghost continuously dissipated and reformed.

Cries of agony.

“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you,” the ghost shouted loudly, “Melanis Bardley, my name is Melanis Bardley.”

“Why were you locked in the stone coffin?”

“The Blood Clan’s hibernation, you should have heard….”

Wu Heng once again activated the magic, and the energy whip lashed out with a howl.

Again and again, it lashed upon the ghost’s form.

“I was exiled,” the ghost cried out loudly.

The sound of the whip continued to lash.

The soul kept dissolving and reorganizing, the wails unceasing.

“Really, it’s true, I’m not lying to you, Lilith sealed me in the stone coffin for exile, she kept me sealed in the stone coffin forever, never to be let out.”

The whipping stopped, the dissipated soul slowly coalesced.

Wu Heng continued to ask, “Why were you exiled?”

“I…” the ghost peered cautiously outside, explaining, “was once young and committed some wrongs out of craving for blood, killed a few people, just minor things, and I’ve been punished.”

Wu Heng and Xi Ligui looked at each other.

The ‘few people’ he mentioned killing were definitely not a small number, or maybe among them, there were individuals of no low status.

The Pirate King, upon reaching level 18, had been pardoned.

Could the wrongs done by pirates be few?

The person in front of them had reached level 18 much earlier, yet for murder was sealed in a stone coffin and exiled.

They must certainly have caused no small amount of trouble.

“Have any more questions?” Wu Heng looked to the side.

Xi Ligui shook her head, “No, not anymore.”

The ghost within the formation, however, immediately said, “Wait, you’re a Necromancer, right? You need ghosts, I can work for you, I know many secrets, I can definitely be of help to you.”

Wu Heng remained silent.

He activated his magic power, and the Demon Soul Pot began to exert a suction force.

“Consider it, I also have a lot of knowledge that you humans don’t have, don’t lock me up, you need…”

The ghost’s body was stretched thin and was pulled into the Demon Soul Pot.

Wu Heng bent down to pick up the Demon Soul Pot and placed it back into the Space Ring.

…

“She’s a criminal; killing her shouldn’t be an issue,” said Xi Ligui.

This interrogation was also to confirm the person’s identity.

The Heaven Destiny Cult posed little threat in itself, being nothing more than an evil cult that had seduced ordinary people to join.

But this level 18 member of the Blood Clan still had some complications.

Before reporting, it was essential to confirm the person’s identity and the reasons for being sealed in the stone coffin.

“Hmm, when reporting it, just write that we were forced to defend ourselves,” said Wu Heng.

“Alright,” Xi Ligui nodded in agreement.

The two of them walked out together; Xi Ligui then asked, “Do you think it’s inappropriate for me to write this letter to the leader Lilith?”

“Sending the report to headquarters and the letter to Lilith at the same time is indeed not the best,” Wu Heng pondered for a moment and said, “How about this, you handle the report to headquarters, and I will personally write a letter to leader Lilith about the Blood Clan matter, explaining the situation.”

“Good, let’s do that,” Xi Ligui said with a smile.

The two of them walked out of the basement together.

Xi Ligui returned to her study to prepare the report and Wu Heng took a carriage back to his estate.

…

After returning to his place,
Wu Heng went upstairs to his study.

He sat down in his chair to ponder for a moment, then took out paper and pen to start writing.

“Leader Lilith Ann Beshmit:
Near Gold and Silver Island lies Deer Antler Island.

On the island, we discovered a group of mysterious robed figures, taking along more than a hundred villagers and found an array and a strange stone coffin.

An Association ship closed in and a battle ensued with them.

During the fight, the blood of the deceased was absorbed by the stone coffin, and a double-winged, emaciated man burst out from the stone coffin, engaging in battle with us.

In the end, we were fortunate to emerge victorious and killed the enemy.

After investigation,
The black-robed organization is named the “Heaven Destiny Cult,” and in the coastal villages of the Yeko Kingdom, they killed villagers and abducted over a hundred people, trying to conduct a ritual to awaken someone in a stone coffin.

The one inside the coffin claimed to be ‘Melanis Bardley,’ a member of the Blood Clan, and her attitude was extremely arrogant, constantly screaming to kill all the others.

This incident nearly resulted in the sacrifice of over a hundred people.

I also witnessed the person break out of the coffin, shouting to kill all living beings.

Fearing that this might negatively impact the Blood Clan and damage the reputation that leader Lilith has built up over the years.

A letter reporting the incident.

–Flag-bearer of Gold and Silver Island: Wu Heng.

The last stroke fell.

Wu Heng checked it over again.

When writing to Lilith, it’s still necessary to double-check the wording.

After confirming there were no discrepancies,
he put it in an envelope, opened the door, and went downstairs.

Three maids were cycling in the courtyard; ‘Robey,’ being short, seemed a bit strained.

The addition of two new maids didn’t change much for the manor.

But for Mini, it was indeed quite a delight.

When Wu Heng and Andre Willow were not around, she had someone to accompany her.

So she wasn’t always seen staring at the flowerbeds in a daze upon every return.

“Master!” Mini hopped and waved, her face beaming with a smile.

“Mini, go out for a bit, take this letter to the association for ‘Xi Ligui’ to send out,” Wu Heng beckoned and instructed.

“Okay,” Mini ran over to take the letter.

Taking the skeleton attendant with her.

The other two maids carefully set aside their bicycles.

They went back inside the living room to clean.

Wu Heng glanced at the time.

Dai Sheng, wearing the train captain’s hat, boarded the train and disappeared directly from the courtyard.

…

In Lopaz City, at the Snake Badge Consortium, the VIP room.

Wu Heng sat in the room for a while.

‘Retili,’ the person in charge, came in smiling, her face exquisite and adorned with luxurious ear decorations on her pointed ears.

Wearing a long silk dress in purple, her figure slender.

“Good afternoon, guest,” Retili greeted as usual.

“Good afternoon. Is the Flame Furnace I ordered last time ready?” Wu Heng asked straight away.

With a confident smile, Retili replied, “It’s ready, stored in the warehouse outside. I’ll take you to see it.”

“Good,” Wu Heng stood up and followed her out of the room.

They walked through the corridor to a warehouse in the backyard.

Upon opening the door, the three-section stone furnace inside was revealed.

The surface of the furnace was covered with densely packed, intricate runes.

“The shape and specifications were all made according to your requirements,” Retili introduced with a smile.

Wu Heng looked around and nodded with satisfaction, “Not bad, I’m very pleased.”

Retili’s smile grew wider, “I’m glad you’re satisfied. However, as we agreed, expediting the process costs an additional 5% fee.”

“What we agreed on is of course no problem.”

Wu Heng stored the item in his Space Satchel.

He followed her back to the VIP room to settle the final payment.

Retili’s face was beaming with smiles.

She considered herself lucky to have encountered such a wealthy customer, likely boosting her performance figures well beyond those of the surrounding Consortium branches.

“If you need any other magic buildings, you can always come here. We can absolutely guarantee efficiency,” Retili mentioned once more.

“Alright, I might indeed order some later on. I will come to you when the time comes,” Wu Heng said.

If the experiment proves successful this time,
similar methods will be adopted in Xinfu City and Anhui City.

It’s simpler to replace furnaces for power generation at existing electric power plants than to rebuild them.

“That’s excellent, I’ll keep that in mind for you.”

“Hmm, I’ll come at that time.”

After settling the final payment, Wu Heng also left the building.

Wu Heng nodded and walked straight out of the building.

…

The next day, early in the morning,
Wu Heng headed to Zombie World.

He took out the walkie-talkie and said, “Qi Hancai, have Wang Haibing get ready, we’re going over to the power plant.”

“Received!”
