Chapter 726: Chapter 589: So This is Your Tamed Beast Chapter 726: Chapter 589: So This is Your Tamed Beast City Lord’s Mansion.

Wu Heng looked at the status on the panel.

[Status: Level 18 (33574/48000)]
The growth rate of status wasn’t too bad.

In one morning, it had increased by almost six or seven hundred points.

Based on the experience gained from Gold and Silver Island.

The first issue was just a warm-up, the second and third issues would bring about an explosion of status.

With the current number of thirty-three thousand, it might just max out.

Directly meeting the conditions for level 19.

At that time, to increase experience points, one would simply need to go and kill zombies.

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao was the first to fly back.

Xiao Xiao was the first to speak, “Uncle, because of the issue with the story discontinuation, the bard who was telling the story was beaten, covered in blood.”

Wu Heng instantly sat up from his chair, “Come on, that’s not necessary!”

“It’s true, the one who hit him was taken away by the patrol,” Xiao Xiao said.

Well…
It seemed that the people in Lundham City were even more fierce than those on Gold and Silver Island.

Then, Glenda and Bella also flew back one after another.

After two days of adjustment, Bella had completely accepted her body and was able to proficiently hide and reveal her form.

Glenda said, “The response to the story is quite good, the discussion is quite heated!”

Bella also added, “The pub is quite lively, but not many bought the newspaper.”

“No worries, we aren’t relying on these to make money. It’s fine as long as the newspaper can continue to be published,” Wu Heng said with a smile.

The main thing was still to collect status; it was good as long as the newspaper wasn’t losing money.

The three Ghosts nodded, without saying much else.

After confirming there were no problems with the newspaper’s release
Wu Heng reopened the door and walked downstairs.

…

In the living room, Wen Mansha was nibbling on pastries.

Seeing Wu Heng come down, she smiled, “The newspaper is quite a success; I had someone go out and check.”

Wu Heng sat down next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder, “For the upcoming issues, continue the distribution. I’ve prepared the next few issues of the story for you, and the rest will be transmitted through the radio.”

Wen Mansha turned her head to look at him, “Are you leaving?”

“There are still matters with the Evil Cult to handle, and I can’t stay away from Gold and Silver Island for too long,” Wu Heng explained softly.

Wu Heng had stayed for three days.

The factory equipment had already been transported; besides assembly, there was also the laying of lines.

Once the lines were completed, they could normally be powered.

Now that the newspaper had already been sold, the plan that Wu Heng had set was completely successful.

“But you just arrived,” Wen Mansha leaned in his embrace.

“I’ll take you to Gold and Silver Island!” Wu Heng said looking at her.

Wen Mansha thought about it, then shook her head, “How could I leave Lundham City? Even if we go, we’d only stay for a day or two before having to return. We would waste all that time on the road. It’s better if you come back earlier next time.”

“Alright, next time I will spend more time with you,” Wu Heng lifted her chin and gently pressed his lips to hers,
After a moment of intimacy, they slowly parted.

Wen Mansha then asked, “Master, when will you leave?”

“I’m leaving soon.”

Wen Mansha nodded, looking towards the side, “Hartel.”

“Madam!” the housekeeper stepped forward.

“Prepare some provisions for the master for the road. Compile the tax revenue for the past few months and hand over half to the master,” Wen Mansha instructed.

“Yes, Madam,” the housekeeper responded and got ready accordingly.

Wu Heng didn’t say much, just soothingly held her.

Approaching noon.

Wu Heng got ready, waved goodbye to the two, donned the [Train Captain’s Hat], and directly boarded the train.

The train horn sounded, and the train disappeared.

…

The train appeared again.

It stopped in a wasteland just outside Black Stone Town.

Wearing the [Faceless One’s Skin], Wu Heng transformed into the appearance of a ‘fisherman’ and walked directly towards the city.

Nearing the city gate, the Guard Team stopped him.

“What are you here for?”

Wu Heng took out the emblem, “From the association, here to find Slyther.”

The two guarding the gate looked at the emblem and furrowed their brows.

After thinking for a moment and looking at the two figures again, they stepped aside, “Behave, and don’t cause trouble.”

Wu Heng ignored them and walked straight into the city.

Black Stone Town was unusually deserted, with only a few residents hurrying by, not interacting, but merely keeping their heads down and hurrying along.

This was a stark contrast to the bustling Lundham City.

All the way to the association’s hall.

After Wu Heng entered, he went directly to the steward’s office, knocked lightly on the door, and no one answered for a long time.

He released a ghost to check inside the room.

There was no one inside, and it appeared they had been gone for several days.

What was going on with Black Stone Town?

He walked back to the reception desk and asked, “I’m looking for Steward Slyther, we had an appointment.”

“You are?” the staff member sized him up.

Wu Heng took out the emblem again to prove his identity.

“What do you need the steward for?” the staff member confirmed and then asked.

“I had contacted the steward beforehand, we are supposed to carry out a task together,” Wu Heng explained, frowning and guessing what the other was implying.

The staff member suddenly said, “The task of investigating the cult?”

“Yes!”

“Please wait a moment.” The staff member left and then returned with a member of the squad.

Wu Heng recognized the person, a member of a previous squad.

“Sir, the steward and others are stationed in Iron Rock Village, he said to have me take you there when you arrived.”

Wu Heng looked at him and asked, “Wasn’t it said we were to gather in Black Stone Town? Why did you go to Iron Rock Village?”

The man hesitated, then led him aside, “When Steward Slyther sent me back, we had already reached Iron Rock Village.”

“The matters of the cult?”

“Yes, the people from several villages along the way are gone, and the kingdom’s guard team refuses to deploy, so the steward took us to investigate on our own.”

Wu Heng nodded, “It’s quite urgent; tell me the location of Iron Rock Village, I’ll head there now.”

The squad member took out a map and pointed directly to the location of Iron Rock Village.

“Give me the map! I’ll head there now, you prepare and follow,” Wu Heng took the map and walked out of the association.

After leaving the city.

He brought out his motorcycle and headed toward Iron Rock Village.

…

Iron Rock Village.

The association had been stationed here for three days.

Slyther and Yuli both had space rings, so there was plenty of food and water.

While eating, Yuli said, “Auntie, why haven’t the reinforcements you mentioned arrived yet? We could have returned to Black Stone Town in this time.”

“They should be here soon!” Slyther said.

“How do you know that?” Yuli took a sip of soup and seemed to have thought of something, exclaiming, “Is it that kind of letter that has no words after you read it–you and your man!”

Smack~!

Slyther smacked the back of her head, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

Yuli’s eyes cleared instantly, she muttered softly, “It’s your fault for not telling who it is.”

Slyther said no more, worrying inwardly.

Wu Heng was coming directly, just as this young girl had guessed.

Outside the village.

A ranger ran back quickly.

He said, “Steward, the trail is nearing ‘Tul Village’.”

The few people eating together all frowned.

That place was no longer under the jurisdiction of Black Stone Town but belonged to the next town’s management.

“Auntie, it’s not our responsibility…”

Before she could finish.

The cheetah, crouched at the side, suddenly stood up, facing the village exterior with a ferocious expression.

And in that direction outside the village, a figure burst swiftly out of the dense woods.

Clothed in a black cloak, wearing a mask, and emitting an unsettling aura.

He looked up toward the guarded village.

“So it was your tamed beast that led me so far.”
