1265 Leaving

He found it!

Fang Heng stretched out his hand and picked up a thumb-sized black crystal from a mass of muddy bacteria, and place it into his backpack.

[Hint: The player has obtained an item-the original devouring body crystal.]

Good!

Another resurrection crystal in his hands!

He would bring it back and sell it for money!

The other rewards were all quite useless, but this reward that could be sold for money was the real deal!

Fang Heng was short of money now.

Other than the amount of King of Gods' points he had on him, mass-producing crystallized zombies would also require a huge amount of resources!

How could he have enough resources if he didn't cheat?

Fang Heng's eyes flashed with excitement. He tapped the ground lightly with his toes and rushed toward Tang Mingyue and the others. He shouted, "Mingyue! Let's go!"

Tang Mingyue was stunned when she saw Fang Heng kill the Salvador bacteria with one strike. She had ten thousand questions in her heart that she wanted to ask Fang Heng. When she heard Fang Heng's shout, she blew her bone whistle immediately.

"Chirp!!"

The bone whistle emitted a sharp sound wave that quickly spread out in all directions!

Almost at the same time, along with the sound wave, a dense black aura seeped out from the cracked ground in the distance and quickly spread outward.

What was that?

The players received the game hint at the same time. They were surprised to find that the infection index in their bodies was slowly rising.

At the same time, another game hint flashed.

[Hint: The player has triggered a special mission-the omen of destruction.]

Mission title: Omen of destruction.

Mission description: The abyss buried deep in the Empire has been disturbed. The black plague has once again swept through the Empire. Is this a sign of destruction or enlightenment for the future?

Mission requirement: Survive

The players' hearts skipped a beat when they saw this strange mission.

Survive? Does it mean that I only need to survive?

"Hurry up! Retreat!"

Tang Wu's soldiers were fighting the tentacles of the original devouring body that were rising from the ground. The troops were still in a mess, and they could not organize an effective attack against Fang Heng's group. Only a few scattered teams chased after Fang Heng's group.

"Retreat first!"

Fang Heng hurriedly urged the team to run.

The plague aura that seeped out from the depths of the earth could revive the infected original devouring body.

The Salvador bacteria could probably be resurrected as well!

If he couldn't beat them, he would run!

Fang Heng had no intention of stopping. He pulled everyone and wanted to escape.

Seeing this, Mikhael and Wei Tao immediately shouted at Ed and the others, "Ed! Retreat!"

After saying that, the two of them ran away with Tang Mingyue without looking back.

Ed and the other players were also confused by the sudden hint.

So this strange black fog was also created by Fang Heng?

Who cares!

If Lord Fang Heng wanted them to run, then they better run!

Ed and the other guild leaders immediately ordered their players to evacuate!

"Chi… Chi Chi…"

Not far away, a strange sound came from the place where the Salvador bacteria had fallen.

Looking closely, the black aura that had just emerged from the crack in the ground gradually enveloped the bacteria.

The bacteria absorbed the black plague aura.

The Salvador bacteria that had already died were recovering at an extremely fast speed!

The creep once again spread rapidly in all directions and its speed was even faster than before!

"Be careful! It's the creep!"

"The creep has appeared again!"

The Empire's soldiers who were about to chase after Fang Heng saw the creep on the ground, and their expressions changed drastically. They retreated one after another, not daring to get close to it.

Archbishop Karkkila of the Holy Court saw the resurrection process of the bacteria with his own eyes, and his expression changed drastically.

The plague aura!

It was actually the plague aura!

How could this be?

The undead feudal lord of the Land of Plague was just a target for him to shift the blame, a target for everyone to condemn so that the Holy Court could obtain the faith of this world.

However, the development of the situation before his eyes completely exceeded his expectations.

Karkkila knew that disaster would come, but he never thought that it would come so soon!

The abyssal monster that was buried underground had appeared again!

Tang Wu saw that he had failed to persuade them to surrender, and his subordinates had failed to stop Fang Heng and the others. They were even flustered by the giant tentacles that kept jumping out of the ground. The anger in his heart could not help but rise. He could not help but look at Karkkila and ask, "Karkkila! What is going on?"

Karkkila took a deep breath.

"Your Highness! The seal of the abyssal demon has been destroyed, and the release of the plague aura has caused the demonic seed to revive. Please allow me to explain the exact situation to you later. This place is too dangerous, we need to evacuate immediately!"

Tang Wu turned his head and focused his gaze on Fang Heng.

Damn it!

The feudal lord of the Land of Plague!

Ever since he appeared, the situation that was originally under control was instantly destroyed.

"Whoosh!!"

Not far away in the sky, Wangnet was riding a giant falcon with the barbarians.

Fang Heng saw Wangnet coming over to receive him and shouted, "Let's go. Ed, follow me! The plague aura has been leaked. Have your friends leave the Imperial City immediately and head to Hani City outside the Land of Plague. The faster, the better!"

Amidst the chaos, Ed's pupils suddenly constricted when he heard this, and his heart trembled violently.

It was actually the plague aura!

Thinking of the survival mission that had been triggered, a terrifying thought arose in Ed's heart.

Could it be that the abyssal demon had appeared in advance?

He stared at Fang Heng and thought, "Is releasing the plague aura in advance part of your plan?"

Fang Heng saw that Ed was still in a daze and shouted, "Hurry up! Follow me!"

"Alright!"

Ed agreed and immediately jumped onto the back of the giant falcon with a subordinate. At the same time, he sent a message through the game's survival radio.

The falcon's back was wide enough to carry ten people, so it took Tang Mo and the others and flew out of the city.

Xiao Yun raised his head and looked in the direction Fang Heng had left. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, it's already very difficult for us to deal with the original devouring body. With the Salvador bacteria that's about to resurrect, it'll only be more troublesome. I'm afraid our subordinates won't be able to withstand it. I suggest we retreat."

Tang Wu's own ability was limited, and he was even more furious when he encountered such an unexpected situation. He looked at Karkkila and questioned, "Karkkila! What did you promise me? Why hasn't the original devouring body been dealt with yet?"

The archbishop of the Holy Court, Karkkila, had a grave expression on his face as he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, the spread of the plague aura is an emergency. The original devouring body has been revived by the power of the plague aura, and its ability has been greatly enhanced. It is not suitable to face it head-on."

"Then what do you think we should do? Watch the Imperial City fall? What about the Empire's honor?!"

An old man from the Council of Elders stepped forward and advised, "Your Highness, this isn't the time to be angry. Tang Mo's group has readily evacuated. We have already won by taking over the Imperial City. After the evacuation, we will first control the capital of the Empire. As for Tang Mo and the others, we can slowly figure it out."

Karkkila immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Your Majesty, the spread of the plague is limited. For now, the original devouring body can't spread out of the Imperial City. We still have time to think of a way. It's too dangerous to stay here."

Tang Wu was silent for a moment. He also realized that there was some kind of strange power hidden in the black fog. In addition, the bacteria in front of him was spreading rapidly. If this continued, the team that they had gathered together with great difficulty would all be killed.

"Retreat first!"

Everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief and nodded. They said in unison, "Yes, Your Majesty."

1266 Divided

High up in the sky, riding on the backs of the high-level falcons, Ed and the other players were still in shock.

This trip to the underground palace was too exciting.

Looking from above, the black plague aura was spreading from the ground, gradually filling up the inner city of the Imperial City.

Before he could rest for a moment, several lines of mission hint appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has successfully killed Salvador and successfully triggered the follow-up mission-the divided Empire.]

Mission title: The divided Empire

Mission difficulty: SSSSS

Mission requirements: Please assist Tang Mingyue in controlling the human Empire.

Mission reward: ???

Additional explanation: You have chosen a female successor. The difficulty of the mission has increased.

Several players who were sitting on the back of the giant falcon with Ed saw the game hint. They first looked at Tang Mingyue, then at Fang Heng.

They had already realized that ever since the barbarians invaded the Empire, everything seemed to be under Lord Fang Heng's control.

This included the early activation of the abyssal demon and the leakage of the plague aura.

Anyone would have thought that Fang Heng was the one behind the scene just now.

They wanted to know what Fang Heng's next step was.

Also, what was with the plague aura? Why was it released in advance?

And why did he choose to be loyal to Tang Mingyue?

After all, Tang Mo was a man and had a high reputation in the Empire. He was more suitable to be the leader of the Empire.

Fang Heng was also being stared at by everyone. He was a little puzzled and could not help but shift his gaze to Wei Tao, his eyes carrying a little inquiry.

He wanted to ask Wei Tao what he was doing with this group of players.

Didn't they say that everything should be focused on the trial mission and that there shouldn't be any complications? Why did he say one thing and do another? Why did Tang Mo suddenly fight for the Empire's imperial power with the players?

What was he trying to do?

As for that plague aura, why was it released in advance?

What were those guys thinking?

There were players present, so Fang Heng didn't say it out loud. He only tried to communicate with Warren with his eyes.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng did not see the answer in Warren's eyes. Instead, he saw a pair of equally puzzled eyes.

"Ahem."

Sensing the strange silence, Mo Jiawei couldn't help but cough and ask, "Fang Heng, what's the situation?"

Mo Jiawei's curiosity was piqued.

Did he have to create such a grand scene? Did he actually release the abyssal demon sealed underground in advance so as to destroy the entire Empire?

Fang Heng took a deep breath and said, "The plague aura leaked out ahead of time. It's more terrifying than we expected. Anyway, let's return to the Land of Plague first. We have to think of a way to deal with the abyssal demon."

…

Hani City was a city surrounded by the vines of the sacred tree.

Upon entering Hani City, the players were shocked. In just a short day, the city had completely changed!

The city was completely covered in greenery. The buildings on both sides of the street were covered with vines and moss. The entire city was filled with the smell of trees.

In the conference hall, Fang Heng finally learned about the players' overall plan from Ed.

The room fell silent for a moment.

Fang Heng was speechless for a moment.

When did he hint to Ed and the others to take control of the Empire?

He just wanted to cheat the players of their money and resources!

Wei Tao was too much.

As a dignified World Lord and a talent that the Federation had nurtured for many years, he was so easily fooled by the players?

The Federation was getting worse by the day.

Fang Heng sighed in his heart. He could not help but look at Wei Tao with a hint of helplessness.

Seeing that Fang Heng was silent, Ed couldn't help but cough lightly to break the silence. He said seriously, "Lord Fang Heng, we received intelligence from the Empire's capital not long ago. Tang Wu has announced that he has officially succeeded the throne and listed us as traitors."

"A few feudal lords of the Empire who have a deep friendship with Tang Wu have already sworn allegiance to him."

"The Holy Court also announced that the Land of Plague was the cause of the plague aura, leading to the unrest in the Empire. Most of the feudal lords in the Empire are still watching the division of the Empire, but they are more inclined to Tang Wu. "

When Mo Jiawei heard this, he was rather displeased.

In the past, in the elementary Vampire Apocalypse game, the Holy Court had never treated humans as humans, and it was about the same now.

"What do the abyssal demon have to do with us? Are they going to pour dirty water on us? Maybe they leaked it themselves. Damn it! There's no good person in the Holy Court."

Mo Jiawei couldn't help but curse. He didn't expect that ten minutes ago, he also thought that the plague aura was Fang Heng's work.

Ed was also very surprised when he learned that Fang Heng was not behind the plague. He continued, "The other thing is the spread of plague aura. The plague aura has spread all over the world, including the capital of the Empire. Especially in Lincoln City, where a large-scale spread of plague aura has occurred."

Warren frowned and said, "I'm afraid there's a problem. I've strengthened the seal of Lincoln City so it won't break naturally in a short period of time. I'm afraid someone is behind it…"

As Warren spoke, he couldn't help but reveal a worried expression. He raised his head to look at Fang Heng and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps someone wants to release the abyssal demon."

Ed and the other players were worried.

It was so difficult.

At this point in the game, they had to deal with Tang Wu, who was fighting with them for control of the Empire and also find a way to deal with the abyssal demon.

The pressure was immense.

Everyone looked at Fang Heng.

Lord Fang Heng had always been a strategist and had calculated everything clearly. He must have been prepared.

"Lord Fang Heng, we need to act as soon as possible. Otherwise, more and more feudal lords of the Empire will pledge their loyalty to Tang Wu. The spread of the plague aura is also increasing. Our situation will only become more and more difficult."

"Yes, I understand."

Fang Heng agreed.

He felt that controlling the Empire did not sound very reliable.

However, the players in front of him were clearly fooled.

They had already bet on everything, and they had already come to this point.

Now they were implying that they had mistaken him and that he never wanted to seize the Empire?

Not good.

Ed noticed Fang Heng's strange expression and asked carefully, "Lord Fang Heng, then we should…"

After thinking about it, Fang Heng decided to be an ostrich.

He needed to stabilize these players first and focus on dealing with the abyssal demon in secret.

The main mission of the trial was to kill the abyssal demon.

The benefits of killing the demon were extremely great. Not only could they increase the overall trial score to SSS, but he could also obtain other rewards from killing the abyssal demon.

Two for one.

He had to think of a way to get his hands on this.

As for the internal strife of the Empire and the matter of tricking the various feudal lords into swearing their loyalty, it would take time and effort. He did not have that much effort to complete it.

He could only stall for time.

Anyway, after eliminating the abyssal demon, Ed's player team would also receive a portion of the rewards, which would more or less make up for their losses.

1267 Fishing

Initially, Fang Heng wanted to build ghost towers all over the Empire to deal with the abyssal demon.

Now that he was in such a bad relationship with Tang Wu, he probably couldn't build that many.

He had to change his train of thought.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin.

With Qiu Yaokang's research and the sacred tree in the Land of Plague, he could take on the abyssal demon!

Yes, the cave-dwelling beasts and barbarians had to help as well!

"Yes, the plague aura spread too quickly. We'll focus all our efforts on the abyssal demon and try to find more information about the demon and scientific research materials to assist Mr. Qiu's research. We'll also collect the raw materials for the enlightenment stone replica…"

Fang Heng paused as he spoke. Seeing the eager gazes of Ed and the others, he could only say, "As for the battle with Tang Wu, His Highness Tang Mo and Her Highness Mingyue will try to capitalize on the loyalty of the feudal lords of the Empire. I will also find a way."

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Ed and the others immediately felt relieved. They felt that they had already won 80% of the battle for the heir of the Empire.

Ed nodded and said, "Alright, Lord Fang Heng. We'll go back and make a detailed plan. We must help Her Highness Mingyue get the Empire throne as soon as possible."

Fang Heng was speechless and nodded.

Why did this group of people only want to help Tang Mingyue take the throne of the royal family?

Forget it, he would let Ed and the others do the work. Maybe they could give him a surprise?

After sending off Ed's group of players, Fang Heng finally had a chance to communicate with Wei Tao's group of trial players alone.

"What do you mean? The plan to seize the Empire was not arranged by you?"

Hearing Fang Heng's words, Wei Tao and Mikhael were shocked.

Wasn't it his plan? Wasn't he the one who instigated these players to betray their country? Otherwise, how could ordinary players have the guts to do so?

For a moment, the two of them began to doubt the world.

Or were they wrong?

Fang Heng rubbed his swollen temples.

It was meaningless to discuss right and wrong in this situation.

Fang Heng continued, "Our current situation isn't too bad. Tang Mingyue can fight for more power from the Empire's feudal lords, and we can also set up more mage towers in the empire to deal with the abyssal demon. In short, we should focus on completing the trial's main storyline. As for the friction with Tang Wu, we should try our best to delay it."

Mo Jiawei nodded and said, "I understand. You were just fooling those players. We don't have to put too much effort into securing the position of the heir to the royal family for the time being."

"Yes, that's what I mean."

Fang Heng looked at Wei Tao and Mikhael, who were still a little confused about the situation. He said to them, "There's a very important matter that I need to attend to at the moment. I don't trust other people easily, so I can only ask for your help."

"Yes, go ahead."

"It's about the barbarians. I remember we read about it in the notebook. When we first eliminated the abyssal demon, we gathered the forces of humans, barbarians, and cave-dwelling beasts. I think the mission to eliminate the abyssal demon, in the end, will probably require the cooperation of these three forces."

"I've talked to Wangnet before, and I want to persuade the barbarian leader to cooperate with us to deal with the abyssal demon. In exchange, the sacred tree in the Land of Plague will provide treatment to the barbarians. I think they should have a way to deal with the barbarians. I guess we might trigger a related mission after going there. "

Hearing Fang Heng's analysis, their eyes lit up.

It made sense!

In the beginning, the barbarians, humans, and cave-dwelling beasts discovered the first generation of the demonic seed together.

It had been so many years. The barbarians should have done some research on the demonic seed. Perhaps they had a way to deal with it.

"Alright, leave it to us. This time, we'll follow."

Mikhael immediately agreed.

Ever since he entered the trial, Mikhael felt that his brain was not working well enough.

In comparison, he preferred to do some fighting and killing.

Seeing the two of them agree, Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief.

He felt that Wei Tao and Mikhael were still a little naive and were easily fooled by the players. If he let them continue to interact with the players, there would be some problems. It would be a good idea to let them follow Wangnet to the barbarians.

Fang Heng said solemnly, "The barbarian race's mission is very important. I'll leave it to you two."

"Don't worry, we can handle it."

Wei Tao and Mikhael had already been stunned by Fang Heng's series of actions. They did not doubt him and agreed immediately. They were prepared to immediately leave to find Wangnet and head to the barbarian camp.

After deciding on the next step of the plan, everyone left the hall one after another.

"Fang Heng, what about me? What about me?"

Tang Mingyue waited until everyone else had left before looking at Fang Heng.

She had been holding it in for a long time without asking. At this moment, she finally couldn't hold it in anymore. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she asked, "To elect me as the heir of the Empire, could it be… Do you have some big plans to make money again?"

"Cough cough…"

Fang Heng coughed lightly.

Tang Mingyue had seen through him…

Although it was a casual decision to choose Tang Mingyue as the heir of the Empire in the beginning, who would have thought that things would develop to this point?

He had completed a lot of missions in the underground palace of the Empire. In the end, he killed the Salvador bacteria and the mutated original devouring body respectively. He had completed the ring mission and obtained a large amount of the heir to the Empire reputation points. Tang Mingyue had successfully inherited all of these reputation points.

Tang Mingyue had some influence in the Empire now, and she might be able to trick a few feudal lords to pledge allegiance to her.

Therefore, Fang Heng had already begun to set up a backup plan.

The main focus was on dealing with the abyssal demon, but he couldn't forgo the many years of savings of the Empire's feudal lords, right?

This was not his style.

In the worst-case scenario, if they failed to kill the demon and quit the trial, they could more or less get some benefits from the feudal lords.

As for making money…

Such matters had to be handed over to professionals.

Tang Mingyue was obviously the most suitable candidate!

"Not bad, not bad. It's to make money. That's why I thought of you when I was choosing my allegiance. We've been working together for many years and are worthy of trust. However, I haven't thought of a specific plan yet. Think about it. In short, I'll leave this to you. You can do it!"

"Oh… Making money…"

Tang Mingyue lowered her head and rubbed her chin. She was deep in thought. Her eyes were filled with excitement as she muttered to herself.

Fang Heng saw the look in Tang Mingyue's eyes and knew that she was thinking about how to make money.

"You will be in charge of the specific actions. I will only say one thing. I suggest that we do it slowly. There is still some time before we exit the trial. Try to think of a way to convince some lords to submit. As for the money-making operation, we can make a huge profit when the trial is about to end. Then, we will exit the game and run away."

"Yes, yes."

Tang Mingyue immediately felt full of energy. She looked up at Fang Heng with excitement in her eyes and nodded, "I understand, I understand. Let's throw a long line to catch a big fish."

1268 Lobbying

The next morning, in the Empire's capital, Tang Wu sat on his throne and looked at the people below. He felt an unprecedented satisfaction in his heart, and a smile appeared on his face.

The throne of the royal family!

He had been waiting for this day for far too long!

Tang Wu turned his gaze to the Holy Court's group and said in a deep voice, "Karkkila."

Karkkila looked unusually tired at this moment. He took half a step out of the crowd.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"How is the situation in the inner city of the Imperial City?"

"Your Majesty, I've already led the Holy Court's believers to build a Holy Light barrier in the Imperial City. It can stop the spread of the plague for a short period of time. As for completely eliminating the plague, it's very difficult. We need to think about it carefully. To ensure that nothing goes wrong, I suggest that we build more Holy Light barriers outside."

"Okay, go ahead."

Tang Wu was in a good mood today, so he gave a rare compliment.

"What about the various feudal lords?"

Tang Wu's first aide, Ding Shixiu, replied, "Your Majesty, there are already seven feudal lords in the northern region of the Empire who have sworn their allegiance to you. Most of the other feudal lords are still observing. We are currently in contact with the various feudal lords. I believe that there will be good news soon."

Tang Wu nodded.

The northern region of the Empire had always been his base camp for many years. He had good personal relationships with these feudal lords, and he even promised them generous rewards. It was expected that he would get their loyalty.

"Alright, continue to pay close attention to the situation. We have to think of a way to win the support of more feudal lords."

Gernot, the senator of the Council of Elders, reported, "The Council of Elders has some friends with some elders. We are willing to go to the major cities in person to persuade the feudal lords to pledge loyalty to Your Majesty."

The smile on Tang Wu's face grew wider. "Then I'll have to trouble the senators of the Council of Elders to make a trip."

Karkkila nodded as well and replied, "Your Majesty, there are also a few believers of the Holy Court in the eastern part of the Empire. I've already asked the regional bishop to contact them. There should be good news soon."

"Hahaha, good! With everyone's help, I believe the Empire will soon settle down. At that time, we will take action to deal with the abyssal demon with all our strength!"

In his joy, Tang Wu didn't forget about his competitor, Tang Mingyue. He asked, "Right, how's Tang Mingyue?"

Ding Shixiu replied, "Your Majesty, currently, including Hani City, only two feudal lords of the empire have sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue."

Tang Wu's eyelids twitched, and his mood instantly improved.

Hani City was temporarily under Fang Heng's control, which meant that only one feudal lord was loyal to Tang Mingyue.

Haha!

A crushing victory!

He had successfully taken control of the capital of the Empire, and the Holy Court and the Council of Elders were all on his side. The feudal lords in the north of the Empire were also close to him, and everything was going in a good direction.

How could she, Tang Mingyue, compete with him?

Tang Wu was unusually relaxed.

He didn't even know how to lose!

An elder from the Council of Elders reported, "Your Majesty, there's another urgent matter. We recently received a request for help from Lord Chadwick. Lincoln City has been affected by a strange, unknown black aura, and the city has fallen into great chaos."

"We believe that it should be the spread of the plague. In addition, some of the feudal lord's forests in the Empire have also been affected by the plague. The Empire is currently in a state of panic, thinking that a natural disaster is about to appear. "

"Lincoln City?"

Tang Wu frowned.

It seemed that Fang Heng had been to Lincoln City before and was defeated by the army led by General Deng Wen.

Tang Wu's mood immediately turned sour when he thought of Great General Deng Wen.

Last night, when he heard that Deng Wen had returned to the Imperial City with the Empire's elite soldiers, he immediately went to welcome him. He didn't expect Deng Wen to be wary and decided to station himself not far away from the Imperial City as if he was waiting for the situation to subside.

Haha.

He did not want to offend both sides?

Tang Wu sneered in his heart.

"His Majesty, the feudal lord of the Land of Plague, Fang Heng, is vicious. He spread the plague all over Empire, destroying the Empire's stability. Lincoln City is the first to be affected by the plague. It is very dangerous to continue ignoring it."

Ding Shixiu pondered for a moment, then glanced at the people of the Holy Court in the hall and suggested, "I wonder if we should send the Holy Court to investigate. If they can help us resolve this, we can take the opportunity to gain the loyalty of the feudal lord of Lincoln City and the recognition of the other feudal lords."

Karkkila nodded and replied, "His Majesty, I can personally bring people to check it out and think of a way to set up a Holy Light barrier at the point where the plague aura spreads. This will temporarily stop the spread of the plague aura. However, the Holy Light barrier cannot be maintained for too long."

"No need. Lincoln City is almost destroyed. What use do I have for him? I should think of a way to perfect the inner city's Holy Barrier first. I want to make sure that nothing happens to the Imperial City!"

Tang Wu could not help but sneered, "Moreover, the news that Fang Heng released the plague to destroy Lincoln City will only make more people wary of the Land of Plague and make more feudal lords loyal to us. We should thank them."

Everyone in the hall looked at each other and bowed in unison, "Your Majesty is wise."

At the same time, in Hani City, Ed and a few other players were blocking the entrance of Qiu Yaokang's newly built laboratory and seemed to be flustered.

Preparing for the final BOSS battle of the abyssal demon was much easier compared to the Empire's civil strife mission which was truly hellish.

Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo were now lobbying everywhere in the Empire. They had been doing so for most of the night and only managed to convince two feudal lords to be loyal to them.

Based on the information provided by Li Xue's team, they had personally come to find them, from easy to difficult!

The players also tried all kinds of ways to get in touch with the various feudal lords. There were also a few lucky ones who triggered related missions, but the difficulty of the missions was frighteningly high.

At this rate, there would only be fewer and fewer feudal lords who would swear loyalty to Tang Mingyue.

It couldn't be helped, and the feudal lords couldn't be blamed.

The difference in strength between Tang Wu and Tang Mingyue was too great. If it were them, they would also choose to wait and see.

It seemed that they have already lost half the battle before it even started.

The player team urgently needed to think of a way to raise their morale.

Li Xue's team stayed up all night and came up with a few feasible plans. Ed had also read the proposal. He felt that the plan was well designed, but even if it was completed, the effect would be mediocre. It was better than doing nothing.

Hence, the players were prepared to discuss with Fang Heng. Then, they heard that Fang Heng had come to Qiu Yaokang's laboratory after he had discussed it with the others last night, so they came to their doorstep.

"What? He left?"

Ed was confused when he saw a mercenary walk out of the laboratory.

"When did this happen? Where did he go?"

"About a few hours ago. It was already dawn when I left." The mercenaries who stayed behind were the Federation players who had come with Wei Tao. They were very tight-lipped and only said, "I think he went to Lincoln City. I heard that Lincoln City encountered some trouble, so Lord Fang Heng brought Mr. Qiu and Teacher Warren over."

1269 A Request

Ed could not help but open his mouth, unable to say a word.

What? Did he leave just like that? Why didn't he say anything?

What about them?

The higher-ups of the player team looked at each other and felt a headache.

Lord Fang Heng seemed to like to act alone.

He was indeed very strong and often brought them unexpected surprises, but…

He was really unfathomable!

After a while, Ed said to his subordinate beside him, "Inform Li Xue of Lord Fang Heng's current situation. Tell our people in Lincoln City to find a way to contact Lord Fang Heng. Also, we shouldn't just wait and waste time. Let's follow the plan."

"Mm, that's good too. I believe Lord Fang Heng will have his plans."

A few higher-ups of the player game guilds agreed and prepared to take action. A line of game hints suddenly appeared on their retina.

[Hint: Fang Heng's affinity with Lord Chadwick has increased. The player team has triggered mission-Chadwick's request.]

Mission title: Chadwick's request.

Chadwick?

The feudal lord of Lincoln City!

Everyone was stunned, and their eyes immediately revealed an excited expression.

They had guessed correctly!

As expected, Lord Fang Heng had started operating again!

…

In Lincoln City, there was a layer of black mist visible to the naked eye floating on the ground near the mining area.

The entire entrance of the mine seemed to have been completely devoured by the black gas.

"Lord Fang Heng, you've seen it for yourself. It's that strange black fog. It's too terrifying. Once you come into contact with the aura of the black fog, you'll be infected with a terrifying plague."

"Oh right, there are also corpses. The dead infected by the plague will be resurrected into corpses. It's too terrifying. There are many corpses wandering in the mine."

"I've already evacuated all the residents in the nearby area, but the black fog is still spreading. If this continues, the entire city can't stay. You have to think of a way to help us."

Chadwick looked at Fang Heng as if he had seen his savior, and his words were sincere.

Those idiots from the Holy Court had promised to ensure that there would be no problems in the mining area, but what about now?

There was no response to the request for help he sent to the Empire, and the Holy Court was also pretending to be dead.

Originally, Chadwick had been prepared to abandon Lincoln City and flee.

His heart was bleeding!

He finally had a Tier 2 mage tower in his territory, but before the Mage Association could send someone to help the mage tower operate, the entire Lincoln City was gone!

How unlucky!

While complaining and preparing to run away, Chadwick never expected that his subordinates would suddenly send news that Lord Fang Heng had taken the initiative to help them!

"Yes."

Fang Heng poked his head out of the bushes and grunted softly. He sized up the mining area that was shrouded in a black aura in the distance.

He had followed Chadwick all the way here, feeling a little confused.

Previously, Qiu Yaokang had spent most of the night studying the samples of the plague aura and the original devouring body, and he seemed to have found something. He then asked for more samples of the plague aura for research.

The capital of the empire was too dangerous. He had just escaped from the tiger's mouth, so Fang Heng naturally did not dare to go there again.

Hence, he thought of Lincoln City.

There was also an abyss seal in the mining area outside of Lincoln City. He could run over there and collect the plague aura.

Moreover, it was safer.

Therefore, Fang Heng brought Qiu Yaokang and Warren over at dawn.

He had originally wanted to sneak in, but he did not expect to meet Chadwick and his party who were out of the city.

When both enemies met, Fang Heng was about to start a fight when he saw the other party come over to hug his thigh with a face full of surprise. He even looked as if he had finally found a savior, crying and begging Fang Heng to save their Lincoln City.

Only then did Fang Heng realize that the friendship between him and Lord Chadwick had been raised to friendly due to the establishment of the Tier 2 mage tower.

Thus, everyone was warmly invited by Chadwick.

Chadwick had placed all his hopes on Fang Heng.

As for the Holy Court's nonsense, he didn't believe it at all.

Seeing that Fang Heng did not speak for a long time, he felt a little uneasy and could not help but ask, "How is it? Lord Fang Heng, did you discover anything?"

Fang Heng stared at the entrance of the mine in the distance and said in a deep voice, "Hmm, it seems like the plague aura has indeed leaked out, and the degree of leakage is even higher than in the royal family."

Chadwick could not help but be secretly alarmed at this.

Even though the plague aura that had appeared in his territory last night had already left him in a terrible state, the sensational news from the Empire still reached his ears.

The demonic creatures raised by Salvador in the royal family caused a huge commotion.

There was a connection between the two?

"I strengthened the seal before I left. It shouldn't have caused such a large-scale leakage of aura."

Warren looked puzzled. He looked at Chadwick and asked, "Lord Chadwick, did anyone touch the seal after we left?"

Chadwick's face changed, and he looked angry at once. He said angrily, "It was the Holy Court! After you left, only the people from the Holy Court went in. They even said that they wanted to strengthen the seal. Damn it! I'm really an idiot! I already knew that these people from the Holy Court had ill intentions!"

With Warren's reminder, Chadwick suddenly understood.

If anyone had approached the seal, it would undoubtedly be the people of the Holy Court!

Late yesterday, the Holy Court had sneaked into the mine cave, not allowing anyone to approach and completely sealing the cave…

It turned out that all the problems were caused by them!

A thief crying 'stop thief'!

Everything was caused by the people of the Holy Court, and they even slandered Lord Fang Heng!

Chadwick felt that he had been blinded by greed. How could he have listened to the Holy Court's nonsense?

Fang Heng frowned when he heard that.

So it was the people of the Holy Court who released the seal of the demon?

But why?

What were they after?

Seeing Fang Heng's solemn expression, Chadwick was even more uncertain. He hurriedly asked, "Lord Fang Heng, do you think we can still be saved? Please save Lincoln City and save the displaced citizens in the city…"

Warren couldn't bear to see the citizens of the Empire die tragically under the plague. He said, "Lord Chadwick, it's not time to give up yet. Please step back a little with your men. We will personally enter the cave to investigate and try to repair the seal."

Chadwick's eyes lit up and he quickly thanked him, "Thank you, thank you so much. There are still revived corpses in the mine. Be careful when you go in to investigate."

1270 Virus

"I'll go in with you guys to take a look. Also, the infection level in the cave is an anomaly. Drink the potion first."

Qiu Yaokang was also very curious about the leak of the plague aura. As he spoke, he took out a bottle of purple potion from his backpack and poured it into his mouth. He also gave a bottle to Warren.

Fang Heng also wanted to take the potion, but Qiu Yaokang stopped him with a look.

"Hmm? I don't need it?"

At the moment, he could still rely on his special physique to be immune to the plague aura outside. However, it was not necessarily the case after entering the cave.

Qiu Yaokang shook his head and said, "There's no need. The potion was developed with your blood. It's useless for you. It's a waste to use it."

"Uh…"

Fang Heng was speechless. He then reached out and took out the Book of Creation, summoning three light balls in front of everyone.

The ball of light floated in the air and illuminated the surroundings.

"Let's go."

Fang Heng walked out of the bushes and led the way into the depths of the mine.

Lord Chadwick was stunned when he saw Fang Heng use the sacred study skill.

Strange, why did this move seem like a move from the Holy Court?

Looking at the entrance of the mine illuminated by Fang Heng's Holy Light, Chadwick prayed in his heart.

"Good luck! It's up to you all to protect the mage tower in my territory!"

…

Stepping into the cave, the concentration of the plague aura was clearly higher.

Three balls of Holy Light spun above everyone's heads, providing a weak light to illuminate the surroundings.

Qiu Yaokang scanned the surroundings with the detector in his hand.

"The virus here is different from the ones we've encountered before. Its ability to mutate and infect is limited."

Following that, a line of game notifications appeared in Fang Heng's vision.

[Hint: The player has entered a special area. Due to the player's special physique, the player's current infection index has increased slightly. Please be careful.]

"Okay, let's speed up."

Fang Heng looked at the slowly increasing infection index. He had just taken two steps forward when he suddenly narrowed his eyes and stared at the darkness in the distance.

"Ka, ka…"

The sound of footsteps came from the darkness.

Eh? Zombies?

Fang Heng raised his guard.

The creatures that stumbled out of the plague were very similar to zombies. They had empty eyes and moved slowly.

"Be careful, it's a corpse."

"I've read about the plague aura in some books," Warren explained. "It can revive infected creatures "

Qiu Yaokang looked at the corpse from afar and whispered, "I'm afraid it's also the effect of the mutated virus body."

More than a dozen corpses gradually revealed themselves from the darkness shrouded by the plague aura in front of them, gathering toward Fang Heng and the others.

"Let me test it."

Fang Heng nodded and controlled the two Lickers that had just revived to go up.

"Whoosh!"

The two Lickers flew toward the corpse one after the other!

"Cut!"

Its sharp claws streaked across the air, easily cutting a huge gash on the corpse at the front and sending it flying backward.

[Hint: Player's zombie clone-Licker has successfully killed the corpse.]

The Licker pounced on the next corpse.

Fang Heng stood in the distance and observed carefully.

The combat ability of the corpse didn't seem to be high, about the same level as ordinary zombies.

The two Lickers took less than a minute to clean up the corpses nearby.

Qiu Yaokang walked forward and squatted down to carefully examine the dismembered body. He took out a sample collector to extract some samples and muttered to himself, "Interesting."

Qiu Yaokang stood up and put the sample into his backpack. He said to Fang Heng, "What's interesting is that the cell body of the corpse is not dead. It is still in the process of 'reviving' and will be completed in one minute at most."

"Resurrection…"

Fang Heng frowned.

"Don't worry about them," Warren said in a deep voice. "I've read in the notebook that the corpse is the same as the original devouring body we encountered before. It can absorb the plague aura and revive indefinitely. Let's hurry up and check the seal internally."

"Yes, alright."

Fang Heng nodded and continued to control the Lickers to lead the way, heading deeper into the tunnel.

…

Soon, after clearing the corpses along the way, Fang Heng was the first to step into the room at the end of the passage.

The concentration of the black plague aura in the room was extremely high.

A large amount of plague aura leaked out from the alchemy array seal in the center of the room.

After confirming that the room was safe, Warren quickly walked forward and squatted beside the alchemy array to check for a moment. Then, he frowned.

"How is it?"

Warren's expression was a little ugly as he said in a deep voice, "Very bad. The outer seal was deliberately destroyed by someone. From the degree of aura leakage, I'm afraid that even the inner seal of the abyss has suffered a great impact."

"I suspect that the damage to the sealing magic array in the depths of the abyss has caused a large amount of plague aura to leak out, which in turn has accelerated the erosion of the outer seal. The plague aura leaking incidents across the Empire is most likely related to the damage to the sealing magic array in the depths of the abyss."

Fang Heng frowned and analyzed, "We also encountered the plague aura in the royal family's underground palace last night, so that passage is also one of the entrances to the abyss?"

"Well, at least it's connected to an entrance to the underground abyss."

While the two of them were checking, Qiu Yaokang collected some of the plague aura and followed them to check the entrance of the sealed abyss. He also collected some remnants outside the cave.

"Is there a way to suppress the plague?" asked Fang Heng.

"The damage to the inner magic array needs to be investigated further to confirm. It's very dangerous for us to rashly explore it in our current situation. We can only think of a way to slightly repair the outer magic array and control the spread of the plague aura."

Warren thought for a moment, then nodded and added, "In addition, we can also cooperate with the mage tower outside to purify the plague aura. I've partially modified the magic runes embedded in the mage tower during the decades I was locked underground. The effect should be greatly improved."

Fang Heng's eyes lit up.

Oh right, there was also the mage tower!

"I'll stay here to repair the magic array. I'll leave the operation of the mage tower to you."

"Alright, the Lickers will stay here to protect you. Be careful."

"Yes, it's just an ordinary corpse. It's a little troublesome when it's revived, but it's not a big threat."

Fang Heng nodded and looked at Qiu Yaokang.

"I've almost collected all the information here."

Qiu Yaokang saw Fang Heng's gaze and nodded, "Generally speaking, the plague aura is not highly toxic. It has two specific abilities. One is to infect a person to death, and the other is to resurrect dead corpses. These two points are somewhat similar to the zombie virus in our world. In terms of combat ability, the corpses are similar to ordinary zombies."

"In terms of differences, the plague virus has an obvious black aura that is easier to identify. Moreover, the corpses do not have a secondary infection. However, the corpses can be resurrected indefinitely, which is something that zombies can't do."

"I believe that the plague aura is a product of the abyssal demon's mutation. I'm afraid that we will also be affected by the plague aura when we fight against the abyssal demon in the future. Purifying the plague aura is especially important. I'll think of a way to concoct the corresponding antidote as soon as I get back. Also, regarding the resurrection ability of the corpses, I believe that the abyssal demon most likely has similar abilities…"

1271 Big Pie

Qiu Yaokang started talking to himself. Suddenly, he thought of something and looked up at Fang Heng.

"I have an idea. I need to immediately return to the Land of Plague for research. Oh right, I also need to bring some corpses back. I'm very interested in the principle of the plague aura's resurrection."

"Okay, I'll take you out first."

Fang Heng nodded and returned with Qiu Yaokang.

At the entrance of the iron mine, Lord Chadwick waited anxiously.

They were coming!

Seeing Fang Heng and Qiu Yaokang walk out of the iron mine, Chadwick's heart skipped a beat.

Why were there only two of them?

There were three of them when they entered.

Did they encounter danger?

"Lord Fang Heng, how is the situation?"

Chadwick anxiously took two steps forward and looked at the entrance to the iron mine behind Fang Heng, "Where's Mr. Warren? Why didn't he come out?"

"Don't worry. Warren is repairing the sealing magic array."

"Really?"

Chadwick felt as if he had returned to heaven from hell. His eyes lit up with hope and he asked, "Lord Fang Heng, will Lincoln City return to its original state after the seal is repaired?"

Fang Heng shook his head.

"It's not that simple. There's an extremely evil power hidden in the cave. The original power was sealed deep in the iron mine, but someone destroyed the seal, causing the plague aura to leak. Because the seal is divided into two layers, even if the outer layer seal is completely repaired, it will only slow down the leakage of the plague aura."

"Damned Holy Court!"

Chadwick could not help but curse again, "Lord Fang Heng, you must have a way, right? Please save the people of Lincoln City."

"I will try my best. Your luck is pretty good. Don't you still have a newly built ghost tower?"

Ghost tower?

Chadwick couldn't help but look back at the ghost tower that he had signed an agreement with Fang Heng to build.

What did he mean?

Chadwick couldn't connect the ghost tower to the plague aura.

"Don't you know? The Tier 2 ghost tower has the effect of dispelling and purifying plague aura."

Fang Heng said half-truthfully, "You'll see. With the power of the ghost tower and Mr. Warren repairing the outer alchemy seal, theoretically, we can temporarily resolve the leakage of the plague aura."

"That's…that's great!"

Chadwick didn't quite understand. He only knew that the ghost tower could clean up the plague aura. He asked, "Is there anything else Lord Fang Heng needs me to do?"

"Yes, I do. I need people to control the operation of the mage tower. The more mage scholars above the apprentice level, the better."

Chadwick agreed immediately, "Of course, no problem. I'll immediately go to the Mage Association to invite someone over! I'll go and get them myself!"

"Yes."

Fang Heng once again focused his gaze on the entrance of the iron mine.

Since this was one of the official entrances to the underground abyss where the abyssal demon resided, it would be best to build a few more mage towers.

With that thought, Fang Heng called out to Chadwick, "Wait a moment, Lord Chadwick. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to quickly clear the remaining plague aura with just a ghost tower. I'd like to discuss with you whether we can build a few more mage towers nearby."

"What?"

Chadwick was halfway there when he suddenly froze. He turned his head and stared into Fang Heng's eyes. His heart could not help but beat violently.

Build a few more mage towers?

There was such a good thing?

For a moment, Chadwick wondered if there was something wrong with his hearing as he asked, "Lord Fang Heng, did you just say that you want to build a few more mage towers?"

"Yes, that's right. For safety reasons, I hope to build more mage towers around the iron mine. I will assist in the construction, and I will try my best to provide the materials. As for the site…"

"Lord Fang Heng! Don't worry, leave everything to me!"

Chadwick's face was flushed with excitement as he agreed, "You can build as many mage towers as you want here! If you need anything, just tell me. As long as it's within my means, I'll do my best to satisfy you!"

"Uh…"

Seeing Chadwick suddenly so agitated, Fang Heng was a little baffled for a moment.

He even felt guilty for lying to an honest man.

It didn't seem like he would go so far as to sell everything.

After all, building a mage tower required some special resources. Even if he sold everything, he would not be able to get them!

"We'll need some ore resources for the time being. We'll also need some manpower to transport the resources. There are still some resources left in the Land of Plague. In short, we'll first find the Mage Association to help open the ghost tower's teleportation channel. There are many ore resources in the iron mine that can be used as energy for the teleportation channel."

"Alright, alright! Everything will be done as you say!"

Chadwick was so excited that he felt like he was about to be hit by a pie from the sky that he could not even speak properly, "Don't worry, I'll get someone to do it immediately! Even if I have to kidnap them, kidnap those mages from the Empire!"

"Yes. Also, I don't like to be seen by too many people during construction."

"I understand, I understand! Don't worry, leave it to me. You can rest assured!"

…

[Hint: The player has completed the mission-Chadwick's request. Lord Chadwick has sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue. Tang Mingyue's heir to the Empire reputation has increased. Player's Empire reputation has increased.]

Fang Heng raised his head and looked at the ghost tower in front of him.

Under the control of several mages from the Mage Association, the ghost tower emitted a faint dark light.

The plague aura gradually spread.

The ghost tower designed by the Saints had the ability to disperse the plague.

During the period of time that Warren was imprisoned in the Imperial mausoleum, he further improved the abilities of the ghost tower.

The black plague outside the mining area was gradually dispersed.

It was unknown who took the lead, but the crowd in the distance cheered.

Other than the feudal lord's private soldiers, a large portion of the onlookers were feudal lords.

They whispered to each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

Two hours ago, Chadwick had been excited when he found out that Lord Fang Heng wanted to build more mage towers in the city.

However, the territory still lacked a small portion of rare resources, so they could not build a mage tower.

What should he do?

"It's okay, I'll lend it to you!"

Lord Chadwick had quite a reputation in the feudal lord world and had good relationships with many feudal lords. He immediately spread the news to borrow some rare ores.

Hence, the new news quickly spread. The feudal lords all learned that Fang Heng was going to build a large number of mage towers in Lincoln City.

A single stone stirred up a thousand ripples!

At first, the feudal lords were puzzled. Why were they building so many mage towers all of a sudden?

Could it be that he wanted to turn Lincoln City into a holy land for mages?

It was only later that they heard that the mage tower was built to deal with the spreading plague.

The discussion grew louder.

The mage tower could actually deal with the plague?

Was this for real?

The feudal lords of the Empire were in an uproar.

1272 Disperse

According to the information he received from the Empire's Holy Court, Fang Heng was the instigator of the plague. Did the plague spread from the Land of Plague?

Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo denied this.

However, just hearing about the plague aura and the Land of Plague made him feel that the two were related.

No matter what, the recent leak of the plague had caused the entire Empire to panic.

Now, there was news that the ghost tower could resist the plague?

Regardless of whether or not they had signed a contract with Fang Heng to build a mage tower, they all expressed their concern after receiving the news. More than a dozen Empire feudal lords who were close to Fang Heng immediately rushed over on their griffins to investigate.

Sure enough, everything was just as Chadwick had said. The mage tower had the effect of dispelling the plague aura in the surroundings!

No one in the crowd was more excited than Chadwick.

A bad thing turned into a good thing!

If he could build more ghost towers in his territory, he would undoubtedly gain the greatest advantage.

After all, the Mage Association, which had always looked down on others, had just taken the initiative to approach him and discuss with him about working together to build Lincoln City into a new holy land for mages!

There were also quite a few feudal lords who had secretly approached him, offering to provide him with some construction resources for free, hoping that he could help talk to Fang Heng and consider building a mage tower in their territory as soon as possible.

Chadwick looked pleased.

It had been a long time since he had enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by people.

Not to mention that he was surrounded by so many Empire feudal lords!

Chadwick led a few feudal lords of the Empire to Fang Heng's side and whispered, "Lord Fang Heng, I just borrowed some supplies from some old friends. They are all on the way here, and I'm sure we can make it in time to start construction. Do you think we can use the ghost tower to teleport?"

"Yes, of course. The sooner the better. We, the Land of Plague, will also provide assistance."

Fang Heng nodded happily and shifted his gaze to the people beside Lord Chadwick.

"Hahaha, Lord Fang Heng, we meet again."

Lord Bohr was slightly older than the other feudal lords. He had a face full of white stubble and a smile on his face. He patted Fang Heng's shoulder warmly and asked, "Remember our agreement to build a mage tower? When will you come to our territory to take a look?"

Fang Heng looked at Lord Bohr and said hesitantly, "Aren't you afraid of trouble regarding His Highness Tang Wu?"

Lord Bohr had a look of disdain and retorted, "Afraid? Ha, who didn't know that Tang Wu was fooled by the people of the Holy Court? He even shamelessly boasted that the source of the plague aura is the Land of Plague. I'll help you bombard him the next time I see him!"

Beside him, a pretty female player revealed a surprised look on her face.

Zhuo Lingfang was a newcomer who had just joined Li Xue's company. Coincidentally, she had just arrived in Lincoln City. After receiving news from Li Xue, she spent a lot of effort to find Fang Heng.

Zhuo Lingfang was shocked when she saw Fang Heng chatting happily with the various feudal lords.

She had heard from Li Xue that the team's in-game plan was not progressing well.

Tang Mingyue and Tang Mo started to 'persuade' the feudal lords to pledge their loyalty to them last night.

The effect was very poor. It was only now that they successfully convinced two feudal lords of the Empire to be loyal. They were all feudal lords who had good personal relationships with Tang Mo. The remaining feudal lords were even more difficult to convince.

Why did Lord Fang Heng seem to be very familiar with these feudal lords?

Furthermore, the feudal lord had a favor to ask Fang Heng?

Hearing Lord Bohr's words, Zhuo Lingfang's heart thumped wildly. She couldn't help but say, "Lord Bohr, so you will choose to stand on Her Highness Mingyue's side, right?"

"And this is?"

Lord Bohr felt threatened. He looked at Zhuo Lingfang with displeasure.

Zhuo Lingfang noticed that Lord Bohr's expression was unfriendly and immediately realized that she had said something wrong. She shrunk her neck and looked at Fang Heng with a pleading gaze.

Fang Heng had already seen the expressions of the feudal lords and their whispers.

It seemed like these feudal lords cared a lot about the ghost tower. Could he trick them into pledging their loyalty to Tang Mingyue? When the time came, he would think of a way to make a fortune.

Thinking about it, Fang Heng laughed and probed, "Hahaha, this is Her Highness Mingyue's retinue. A portion of the resources for the construction of the mage tower was provided by Her Highness Mingyue, and she was also here to escort the resources. The guard was concerned about Her Highness Mingyue, and in a moment of desperation, she said something inappropriate. I hope that the feudal lords will not take offense."

Bohr immediately put on a kind smile and replied, "So you're Her Highness Mingyue's retinue. No, no, not in the least."

"Lord Bohr, and all the feudal lords, I'm afraid everyone knows that I've already sworn my allegiance to Her Highness Mingyue."

"Everyone knows about the Empire's situation. The Tier 2 ghost tower has the ability to teleport and all the teleportation arrays are interconnected. In order to prevent people from using the ghost tower's teleportation ability to carry out long-distance military operations, the construction of the mage tower in His Highness Tang Mo's territory will be suspended. We will first start planning the construction of the mage tower in Her Highness Mingyue's territory. Please understand."

Fang Heng looked apologetic and nodded to everyone, "Of course, after the disputes in the Empire are over, I will still complete the contract with you and assist you in building your mage tower."

The feudal lords understood immediately. It meant the same thing, but it sounded a little too good.

He would think of a way to build a mage tower after this matter was over, but how long would that take?

"Lord Fang Heng is truly thoughtful."

Lord Bohr was already mentally prepared to pledge allegiance to Tang Mingyue when he came.

His territory had also encountered the leakage of the plague.

Although the degree of leakage was not as terrifying as that of Lincoln City, and he had already temporarily hired people to completely clear out the surrounding area, he still felt uneasy and worried that things would get worse.

Lord Bohr looked at Fang Heng and said seriously, "Lord Fang Heng, I understand what you want to say. I'll be straightforward. When you come to our territory to build a mage tower, I'll immediately swear my loyalty to Her Highness Mingyue."

"Yes, yes, there's also us. We will also swear our loyalty to Her Highness Mingyue."

The feudal lords present had witnessed the tragic state of Lincoln City when the plague spread.

The current situation of the Empire was unclear, and there was a plague that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

The situation was still under control, but what if the plague suddenly appeared in their territory?

Should they go find Tang Wu?

Didn't Chadwick go to Tang Wu first and what was the result?

Tang Wu did not even give a damn!

Lord Fang Heng was more reliable.

Although some feudal lords still felt that the plague was too coincidental, it was even possible that Lord Fang Heng had directed and acted on his own. Unfortunately, all of this was only at the stage of suspicion.

Now that things had developed to this point, no one wanted to fall out with Fang Heng because of some groundless suspicion.

What if they still had to rely on Fang Heng in the future?

Building a ghost tower in the territory was the right way to save their lives.

1273 Disposition

Many feudal lords had inquired about it from the Mage Association. After the ghost tower was completed, it only needed the cooperation of the Mage Association's elementary mages to activate the teleportation function and purify the plague.

At that time, the ghost tower would not fall into Fang Heng's control.

After thinking this through, the feudal lords surrounded him.

As for being loyal to Tang Mingyue, many of the smaller feudal lords didn't care too much about it.

How big was their territory? They would not really join the war.

[Hint: The player team has reached an agreement with Lord Bohr, triggering the mission-Bohr's condition.]

Mission title: Bohr's condition.

Mission requirement: Complete the construction of the Tier 2 ghost tower in Bohr's territory.

Mission reward: Lord Bohr swears allegiance.

Special description: This mission may be canceled or changed at any time due to the progress of the game.

[Hint: The player team has reached an agreement with Lord Zoida. Mission triggered-Zooey's condition.]

[Hint: The player party has reached an agreement with Lord Garrido…]

For a moment, a series of game hints were triggered.

Zhuo Lingfang was even more excited when she saw the game hints. Her eyes were filled with admiration as she looked at Fang Heng.

Lord Fang Heng was too powerful!

Just a single trip to Lincoln City had changed something rotten into a miracle, and the various feudal lords of the Empire had taken the initiative to cooperate with him.

There were at least a dozen feudal lords present. If they all chose to cooperate with Fang Heng…

Because she was too excited, Zhuo Lingfang felt her face burning up. She really wanted to go offline immediately and report this great news to the players!

On the side, Warren was the same as her. He looked at Fang Heng with admiration.

With just a few words, he was able to convince the various Empire feudal lords to build mage towers together.

This was something that he had not been able to achieve for decades!

The heir of the Empire's Saint was indeed chosen correctly!

He would definitely be able to lead everyone to completely eliminate the abyssal demon!

Fang Heng exchanged a few more pleasantries with the Empire's feudal lords before walking to Zhuo Lingfang's side and saying, "I'll go offline and communicate with your team later. Some of the rare construction materials needed to build the mage tower are missing. Ed said before that he would think of a way."

Zhuo Lingfang quivered and carefully memorized every word Fang Heng said, "Yes, yes, okay. I'll go and communicate with them immediately."

"Also, these feudal lords have requested cooperation from me. They are willing to pay the price of constructing a Tier 2 mage tower to pledge their loyalty to Her Highness. Remember their names and appearances. Make a list for me. I want to ensure that the construction goes smoothly."

"Alright, alright!"

…

Offline, Li Xue took a cup of coffee from her secretary.

Ever since they started preparing for the underground palace operation two nights ago, their entire team had stayed up for two consecutive nights without a good rest.

As the overall commander of the project, Li Xue was constantly watching.

The preparation of the enlightenment stone replica was progressing smoothly. Information on the abyssal demon was extremely scarce, and the team was currently collecting them in an orderly manner.

Only the current situation of the Empire's war mission was very bad.

The original plan was that Tang Mo could persuade at least five feudal lords to be loyal to him.

However, Lord Fang Heng chose Tang Mingyue to be the new heir to the royal family.

Even though the first founder of the Empire was an Empress, it was a consensus among the feudal lords that women could not become the heir of the Empire.

Why did Fang Heng choose Tang Mingyue?

Li Xue was puzzled.

She felt that Fang Heng's actions must have a deeper meaning.

Fang Heng must have been thinking from a perspective that they could not envision, which was why he made the following choice.

Now, she could only choose to leave everything to Fang Heng, believing that he could create another miracle.

Li Xue took a sip of her coffee and prayed for a miracle to come sooner.

Suddenly, one of her players received a message from a player. After seeing the message, he rubbed his eyes and could not help but shout excitedly.

"Li Xue! Captain! Great news!"

Li Xue's spirits were lifted. She put down her coffee cup and asked, "What news? Tell me!"

"Lord Fang Heng has triggered a mission! He had made a deal with the various feudal lords! So Lord Fang Heng was already prepared!"

The player directly displayed the mission hint that was triggered in the game on the projection screen.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the big screen.

Cooperation? Building a mage tower?

Looking at the mission hint, everyone could not help but swallow their saliva.

Building a Tier 2 mage tower in exchange for Tang Mingyue's loyalty?

Was this for real? There was such a move?

It was no wonder why Ed had been searching for construction materials to construct a Tier 2 mage tower.

So it was a foreshadowing here?

Li Xue looked at the detailed description of the mission on the screen and a thought flashed through her mind.

Right, there was news that Fang Heng had the ability to borrow the power of the undead to build a Tier 2 mage tower in a very short time!

Back then, Ed suffered a huge loss because of this.

That's right!

The Tier 2 mage tower was Fang Heng's trump card!

So what exactly happened?

Li Xue had studied the barbarian realm game for many years and had a deep understanding of the game. She knew that the mage tower was very important to the feudal lord, but it was not that important to this extent.

Why did Fang Heng cause such a huge change in the feudal lord?

"Where's Zhuo Lingfang? Didn't you tell her to go offline and get in touch with Fang Heng?"

"Yes, she just said that she has already contacted Fang Heng and has been following him."

"Why hasn't she reported back yet? Have you tried sending her a message?"

"Yes, I've already asked her to go offline and report as soon as possible."

Li Xue frowned, feeling extremely anxious.

Zhuo Lingfang was a newcomer who had just joined the company and was still in her internship period. Originally, such a large-scale mission would not have been her turn at all. The company also kept such high-level missions a secret.

However, Zhuo Lingfang was the only one staying in Lincoln City.

Just as she was thinking, the screen changed.

The scene of Zhuo Lingfang climbing out of the game cabin was displayed in front of everyone.

"Captain, Lord Fang Heng… He activated the mage tower to dispel the plague…"

Because she was too excited, Zhuo Lingfang stuttered as she recounted everything she had seen and heard in the mage tower.

When they heard that the various feudal lords were asking Fang Heng to help them build the mage tower, the players' heavy breathing could be heard in the entire work hall.

So Lord Fang Heng had already arranged for this?

Seeing Tang Mingyue fall into a disadvantage bit by bit in Tang Wu's fight, the team was also gradually dragged into a quagmire. Fang Heng's arrival gave them a booster shot!

The entire team burst into great enthusiasm again!

They could win!

After Zhuo Lingfang finished speaking, Li Xue immediately looked at everyone. All the cameras were aimed at Li Xue.

"Everyone, you heard it. This is the most critical period for us. Immediately pulling out the resource report provided by Ed, I want to know the current amount of resources for the construction of the mage tower, as well as the various resource storage points. Immediately take action and send the resources to the Land of Plague…I want a timeline for the construction of the mage tower, with emphasis on the convenience of material transportation and the influence of the territory feudal lord."

Everyone became excited and immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes!"

"Also, the game staff must immediately take action and spread the news that the ghost tower can resist the plague! I want all the feudal lords in the Empire to know about this. I want all the feudal lords to know that Lord Fang Heng can build a mage tower for them for free! The sooner the better!"

"Yes!"

The team seemed to have been reborn. They were once again injected with vitality and moved quickly.

Next was Lord Fang Heng.

Li Xue looked at the big screen.

The information on materials required to construct a Tier 2 mage tower, as well as the current player team's and Land of Plague's material reserves, appeared on the screen.

Looking at the materials on the screen, Li Xue frowned.

Based on the current numbers, there would not be a shortage of materials for the construction of the ghost tower in a short period of time.

The gap was in the magic core.

In the Empire, the ghost tower required a large number of magic cores, but the Land of Plague did not have enough.

It was far from enough if it was spread out in large numbers.

Previously, Ed was halfway through the collection of supplies. They did not expect Fang Heng to build the ghost tower throughout the entire Empire, so they did not prepare many magic cores.

Li Xue remembered that the production method of magic cores had always been in the hands of the royal family, and the annual production was extremely limited.

"Gather detailed information about the magic core."

"Yes!"

…

In a short afternoon, six brand new Tier 2 mage towers were successfully built around the mining area, emitting a dim light.

The plague was completely dispelled.

Lord Chadwick was unusually excited.

Success! It really worked!

He gently pinched the back of his hand, wondering if he was dreaming.

"Lord Fang Heng, the next mage tower will be built in Lord Bohr's territory. The first batch of construction materials has already been sent over. We've already informed the feudal lords near the city that we'll be borrowing their city's teleportation channel to go over."

"Yeah, sure."

Zhuo Lingfang said respectfully, "Lord Fang Heng, Mr. Ed has an urgent matter to discuss with you. Her Highness Mingyue also hopes that you can return to the Land of Plague when you have time."

"Mm, alright. Let's go back first."

Fang Heng nodded.

Now that there was a slight change in his plan, he was going to go back and communicate with Ed's team of players. He also wanted to see Qiu Yaokang's research progress.

Then, he would personally watch the zombie clones build the ghost tower!

Although he could build it by controlling zombies remotely, doing so required a lot of extra time and energy to operate. It was far from being as convenient and fast as directly controlling it mentally at close range.

Lord Bohr followed Fang Heng, afraid that something might happen during the construction of the ghost tower. He suggested, "Lord Fang Heng, I'll go with you. It's been a while since I've seen Her Highness Mingyue."

The other feudal lord also chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes. Lord Fang Heng, we haven't seen Her Highness Mingyue in a long time. We can go and take a look together."

Fang Heng didn't have to reject something that would affect the feudal lord's friendliness. He nodded and said, "Alright."

Following the teleportation channel, Fang Heng brought everyone back to the Land of Plague.

In the hall of the Land of Plague, Tang Mingyue sat at the top and yawned from time to time.

Ed and several player leaders had been waiting for Fang Heng for a while. His tense nerves gradually relaxed.

They had been observing Fang Heng's every move remotely through Zhuo Lingfang's reports.

Hearing that the mage tower had been successfully built and that Tang Mingyue's reputation had increased significantly, everyone was naturally overjoyed.

Seeing Fang Heng return, everyone stood up to welcome him.

"Lord Fang Heng."

Tang Mingyue looked at Fang Heng with a hint of resentment in her eyes.

She stayed up all night last night and followed the players and Tang Mo to visit the feudal lords. It took her a long time to talk to two feudal lords, yet Fang Heng had made a huge harvest so easily. Why didn't he say so earlier?

If she had known that Fang Heng had a plan, why would she have worked so hard? Wasn't it good to just sleep in the royal family?

Sometimes, when she thought about it, Tang Mingyue wondered if she had been fooled by Fang Heng.

Everything seemed to be within Fang Heng's plan.

It was clearly agreed that everyone would sneak into the royal treasury together and split the profits fifty-fifty. Why did it seem like everything was arranged by Fang Heng now? Was he deliberately stealing the enlightenment stone and the magic core from the royal treasury to build a mage tower?

"Greetings, Your Highness Mingyue."

"Uncles, there's no need to be so polite. Please sit down."

Tang Mingyue personally stood up to welcome them, putting on a show to earn money. Then, she turned her gaze to Fang Heng and nodded, "I've encountered some problems with the materials for the construction of the mage tower. I've invited you over to discuss it."

Hearing that there was trouble with the construction of the ghost tower, the expressions of the feudal lords changed slightly, especially Lord Bohr. His expression was particularly ugly.

No way!

It just so happened that it was his turn and he was already in trouble.

Tang Mingyue noticed the feudal lord's expressions and asked Fang Heng with her eyes.

"Your Highness, the feudal lords of the Empire are loyal to the royal family. There's no need to shy away."

"Yes, I naturally trust you uncles. What we're going to discuss next is all the internal secrets of the royal family. Please keep it a secret for me."

Bohr was concerned about the mage tower, so he nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course. What's wrong with the ghost tower?"

Tang Mingyue nodded and gestured to Ed, "Please explain the details, Mr. Ed."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Ed took half a step forward and nodded, "Lord Fang Heng, I'll explain what happens next. As everyone knows, building a mage tower requires a large number of construction materials. We've just checked the royal family and various local materials warehouses. We can only build about 27 Tier 2 ghost towers. If we include the resources provided by the various feudal lords, we can build a maximum of 54 Tier 2 ghost towers."

"Of course, 54 mage towers are far from enough to meet the needs of the various feudal lords. Many feudal lords are willing to provide additional resources to build mage towers, but we can't do that. The biggest gap we're facing now is the magic cores."

Gulp…

Chadwick gulped at the number.

Was this even human?

Fifty-four mage towers?

Wasn't that enough?

How many mage towers were there in the entire Empire?

Lord Bohr had the same thought when he heard this, but he felt that it was not right after thinking about it carefully.

Too many monks, too little porridge!

The Empire was vast, and there were so many feudal lords. Fifty-four mage towers were really not enough.

Not to mention that despicable Chadwick had swallowed seven mage towers with his entire territory!

As he thought about it, Lord Bohr glared at Chadwick.

Why does your territory need so many mage towers? Is this some kind of seven stars alignment?

"Ahem."

Lord Bohr was a little anxious. He couldn't help but cough lightly. He said, "Lord Fang Heng, we agreed to build two mage towers in my territory."

"Of course. We've already agreed that the construction materials have been shipped to your territory. After the discussion is over, I'll go with you to build the mage tower."

1275 Joining

Lord Bohr's face instantly changed into a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Lord Fang Heng."

"You're welcome."

Fang Heng called out, frowning slightly.

He had stolen more than 50 magic cores from the royal treasury. The numbers were right.

It would be barely enough to build a mage tower in the next three to four days. It would be a little troublesome to continue building it on a large scale.

Fang Heng looked at Ed again and said, "Mr. Ed, please continue."

"Well, we wanted to try to make our own magic cores so we found His Highness Tang Mo to ask about the situation."

"According to His Highness Tang Mo, there is only a small amount of magic cores left in the royal family. He can find a way to refine them himself. The formula has always been in the hands of the royal family and he has never touched it. However, the manufacturing of the magic cores required the cooperation of the Empire's Mage Association. The president of the Mage Association should have the formula."

"We will continue to investigate this clue. After the Empire split last night, the royal mage group was incorporated by Tang Wu and the Empire's Mage Association is still unclear. His Highness Tang Mo went to find his uncle not long ago to contact the president of the Mage Association. However, based on the past attitude of the Mage Association, our hope of obtaining the formula from them is very slim."

The team was in trouble again.

Li Xue realized the difficulty of collecting the magic cores was too great, and she was afraid that it would delay Fang Heng's big plan, so she hurriedly told Ed to discuss it with Fang Heng.

Fang Heng nodded, but he felt a little strange.

Randolf, the vice president of the Mage Association, was a good person. They had worked closely together before. He wasn't as difficult to get close to as Ed had said.

"Is the Mage Association really that hard to get in touch with? It can't be, right?"

Surely not?

Ed thought to himself, "No way!"

People from the Mage Association were known to be difficult to get in touch with.

Ed sighed silently in his heart.

After all, Lord Fang Heng had been training in necromancy in seclusion and was not aware of the situation in the Empire.

Fang Heng looked at Chadwick, Lord Bohr, and the rest with some doubt.

"It's indeed not easy to get in touch with."

The other feudal lords also nodded in agreement.

"Lord Fang Heng doesn't know. Ordinary mages are fine but the association's higher-ups have always been arrogant. It's difficult for us lords to say a few words to them. Only His Highness Tang Mo has a blood relationship with the vice president of the Mage Association. Otherwise, they wouldn't even want to see us."

As they were talking, a royal guard rushed forward to report," Your Highness Mingyue, His Highness Tang Mo has returned. He is accompanied by the president of the Mage Association, Price, and the vice president of the association!"

What?!

Except for Tang Mingyue, everyone stood up from their chairs and looked out of the hall.

The President of the Mage Association, Price?

That mysterious big shot also came personally?

Did Her Highness Mingyue really have such a great reputation?

Shocked, everyone turned to look at Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue.

In the hall, only the two of them had indifferent expressions, as if this situation was normal.

Tang Mingyue was a little confused.

Did these people have to be so surprised?

She had read some information about the Mage Association, but the records on paper were not as personal as seeing it with her own eyes. She only knew that the Mage Association was a little arrogant.

Tang Mingyue nodded and said, "Invite them in."

Soon, the guards brought Tang Mo and the group from the Mage Association into the hall.

The president of the Mage Association, Price, walked at the front.

Behind him, Randolph had a gentle expression on his face as he nodded at Fang Heng from afar. He said, "Lord Fang Heng, I know that you are very busy right now, so I took the liberty to disturb you."

Price and the mage behind him did not pay much attention to Tang Mingyue and the feudal lords. They all focused their gazes on Fang Heng, revealing a probing gaze.

Was it him?

A great legendary mage who built a Tier 2 mage tower in the Empire in just two days?

So young?

Before the mage tower, the members of the Mages Association had already heard of Fang Heng's name.

It was Fang Heng who discovered the teleportation magic array in the underground world and established a good relationship with the cave-dwelling beasts.

Apart from that, Fang Heng had also used long-lasting large-scale field magic to summon the sacred tree to defeat the entire barbarian army in the Land of Plague!

There were a few mages among the entourage. They all wanted to see Fang Heng with their own eyes.

After all, in the outside world, the sacred tree in the Land of Plague was rumored to be divine.

Rumor had it that Fang Heng was not only proficient in the study of necromancy, but also dabbled in the study of nature, elementalism, and even the sacred study.

"I won't disturb you."

Fang Heng also stood up to welcome him.

President Price sized Fang Heng up, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes. He asked, "Lord Fang Heng, we heard some rumors that you will be building a large number of ghost towers on the Empire Continent. Is this true?"

"Of course, you came at the right time. We were just discussing this matter."

Hearing this, the mage behind Price couldn't help but whisper.

Price nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your support of the Mage Association. I came here to personally thank you, and also to invite you to join the Mage Association as the vice president."

The vice president of the Mage Association!

All the feudal lords looked at Fang Heng, their eyes full of envy.

Over the years, every vice president of the Mage Association was either a highly respected senior scholar with outstanding academic research or a talented legendary mage.

No matter what, every single one of them was a target that the royal family was trying their best to rope in!

Thinking about it carefully, Lord Fang Heng really did have the ability!

[Hint: President Price invites you to join the Mage Association and become the vice president of the association.]

[Hint: Rejecting the invitation will reduce the favorability of the Mage Association by a small amount. Accepting the invitation will increase your Empire reputation.]

"Of course, thank you. I'd love to."

Fang Heng thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Could the Mage Association have some ulterior motive for offering such a huge benefit?

But it didn't matter!

Joining the Mage Association would be of great help to his plan to eliminate the abyssal demon in the future!

At this stage, he had to unite all the forces that could be united!

"Welcome to the Mage Association. I know Lord Fang Heng is very busy right now. We'll simplify the appointment ceremony and just sign your magic imprint."

An advanced mage beside Price handed over a scroll that he had prepared.

The contents of the scroll were very simple. There were only a few lines of small words. The gist of it was that he had volunteered to join the Mage Association and become the vice president of the Mage Association.

There were no rights or obligations.

Fang Heng glanced at it and left a spiritual imprint on the scroll.

[Hint: Player has joined the Mage Association and will be the vice president of the Mage Association.]

[Hint: The player's Mage Association reputation has increased greatly, and the player's Empire reputation has increased greatly.]

[Hint: Tang Mingyue's heir to the Empire reputation has increased slightly.]

1276 Promotion

Price smiled and nodded at Fang Heng before continuing, "After the mage tower is built, the Mage Association will send people to the mage tower to learn. I'll have to trouble Lord Fang Heng by then."

"Definitely."

Fang Heng cupped his hands.

It turned out that the Mage Association was also here for the ghost tower.

"In addition, according to our discussion with President Randolf, we will promote necromancy on the continent and establish the necromancy discipline. The relevant academic promotion has already begun. We need a mentor for the study of necromancy. Lord Fang Heng, after our discussion, we feel that you are the most suitable person to do this."

To promote necromancy?

Fang Heng could not help but glance at Randolf.

He seemed to have heard Randolf mention it before. At that time, he said that necromancy was more suitable for controlling the ghost tower, and necromancy had always been extremely rare on the main road.

He thought about it carefully.

This was a good thing.

Previously, the actions of the Holy Court, such as throwing dirty water on him and accusing him that the leak of the plague aura was related to him, had disgusted him

The implementation of necromancy could disgust the Holy Court.

At the same time, it could also increase the operating efficiency of the ghost tower.

Kill two birds with one stone!

It wasn't too difficult to learn the basics of necromancy. There were a few books in Sydney's book collection that were the basics of the study of necromancy. When the time came, he would let the players find a way to get some books to make up the numbers and then use the undead ghost fog to create vengeful spirits.

Whether or not they could learn necromancy would depend on their own luck.

A white-bearded old man behind Price nodded and said, "Lord Fang Heng, don't worry. The entry-level necromancy has been listed as a key assessment for the Mage Association."

"Yes, of course. I'm very willing to help young mages learn about necromancy, and I'll also provide them with convenience."

Fang Heng nodded in agreement. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he changed the topic to the magic core.

"Speaking of which, we encountered quite a few problems during the construction of the ghost tower. I heard that the Mage Association has the recipe for the magic core. Can you lend it to us?"

"Well, I have heard from His Highness Tang Mo. The original method of making the magic core was handed over to the Mage Association by the royal family. Now that Her Highness Mingyue has inherited the throne, it should be handed over to Her Highness Mingyue."

Tang Mo looked at Fang Heng talking to the president of the Mage Association and couldn't help smiling bitterly.

He thought to himself, "Finally, I'm mentioned."

When he was young, he and his father visited the president of the Mage Association. They had waited in the city for several days before finally meeting.

He had never seen anyone from the Mage Association so easy to talk to.

"The magic core requires a large number of elemental crystals as raw materials, and the success rate of refining it is relatively low. If Her Highness Mingyue can find the raw materials, the Mage Association is willing to cooperate in the production of the magic core."

Ed frowned and explained, "Your Highness Mingyue, elemental crystals are very rare. In the past, the magic cores produced in various regions were taken away by the royal family of the Empire. It's a product that the Empire forbids trading. I heard that some Chambers of Commerce would take the risk of secretly selling a small portion of it. It's something that can't be seen in the light."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded and looked at President Price. He said, "We will think of a way to obtain the elemental crystals. There is one more thing that I will get straight to the point. President Price, the Empire is in constant conflict right now, and there is the crisis of the abyssal demon. Her Highness Mingyue urgently needs the help of the Mage Association. I wonder if the Mage Association is willing to assist Her Highness Mingyue in inheriting the throne of the Empire?"

The entire hall suddenly became extremely quiet.

The players did not expect Fang Heng to be so straightforward. They all looked at Price nervously.

The Mage Association had a lot of influence in the Empire. If they could persuade them to join Tang Mingyue's camp, their disadvantage in the Empire's rebellion mission would be reversed!

Price smiled and said, "Of course."

As soon as he said that, the atmosphere in the hall instantly relaxed.

In fact, the entire Mage Association had branches in various regions of the Empire. Most of the high-level mages were arrogant. This time, the Empire was in civil strife, and the Mage Association also had its own feudal lords that they wanted to be loyal. It was difficult to unify.

That was indeed the case.

However, after the news of Lord Fang Heng building a large number of ghost towers was leaked, the atmosphere within the Mage Association changed.

The voices quickly became unified.

As long as Lord Fang Heng was willing to join the Mage Association, then they would pledge their loyalty to Her Highness Mingyue!

The influence of a mage tower on mages was undoubtedly huge. The Mage Association rarely had such a unified opinion.

Tang Mo was really shocked.

That was it?

Just one word from Fang Heng and the entire Mage Association was willing to cooperate with Tang Mingyue?

Even when the royal family was in control of the Empire, the Mage Association had never been so cooperative.

It was also because of this that the royal family had set up a royal mage group out of their own pockets, spending a huge amount of money on the mages every year.

Ed and the other players were overjoyed.

Alright!

There was no need to mention the combat ability of the Mage Association. According to the analysis of the players, based on the Mage Association's usual style, it was impossible for them to participate in the internal strife of the Empire.

At most, some branches would follow the local feudal lord.

Who would have thought that the entire Mage Association would stand on the same side?

This was something that they did not even dare to think about!

The Mage Association's decision would greatly affect the feudal lord's judgment of the situation!

Sure enough, after Price finished speaking, the game notification popped up.

[Hint: The Empire Mage Association has cooperated with Tang Mingyue. Tang Mingyue's heir to the Empire reputation has increased greatly.]

"I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."

"Happy working with you. I know that President Fang Heng has been very busy recently. You still need to put more effort into the training of the mages and the promotion of necromancy."

"No problem."

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Ed and the others, nodding at them.

When Ed heard about the raw materials for the magic core, he immediately sent his subordinates to go offline and inform Li Xue's team to look for relevant information.

When the offline teams heard the news that the Mage Association had joined, they were also in jubilation!

The entire team erupted with incomparable enthusiasm and quickly mobilized the people.

Everything was developing well!

Ed explained as he flipped through the news he had just received from the survival radio station, "Elemental crystals are a rare type of elemental ore. They need to be formed in a specific environment and are extremely rare. The royal family of the Empire has a small amount of them in storage. In recent years, most of them have been gathered in the hands of the royal family."

"The royal family…"

Fang Heng could not help but mutter softly, feeling a headache.

Now that the royal family was occupied by Tang Wu, why would he go back to steal from someone else's headquarters?

It was a little difficult.

Ed nodded and said, "It's very difficult to obtain it from the royal family now. We'll make a feasibility report first."

"Yes…"

Fang Heng nodded and pondered for a moment.

At the moment, all of his main skills were on cooldown, so he took advantage of this gap to build a portion of the ghost tower.

Fifty ghost towers would also require some time.

When the construction of the ghost tower was almost complete and the skill cooldown time was over, he would go to the royal family to snatch a wave of resources.

"The feudal lords and the various Chambers of Commerce might have some stock on hand. We can also purchase them. Also, be careful."

"Understood, Lord Fang Heng."

1277 A Dark Move

…

In the Imperial City, the Empire royal guard had just escorted Tang Wu back to the palace on his griffins.

This time, he personally convinced two Empire feudal lords to pledge their loyalty. Several lords around the Imperial City also surrendered. Tang Wu was in a very good mood.

"What's wrong?"

He had just sat on the throne and had yet to enjoy it when Tang Wu noticed that Ding Shixiu's expression was not too good.

"Your Majesty, this is the report that the Tianshu Academy just provided."

"Hand it over."

Tang Wu received the report from the guard. After opening it and reading it line by line, his expression became worse and worse.

"Bang!"

Tang Wu's eyes reddened as he slammed the report on the table!

"What happened?"

He had gone through a lot of trouble to convince two feudal lords to surrender, but before he could celebrate, five feudal lords had already surrendered to Tang Mingyue.

"His Majesty, please calm down. We've found out that the cause of the incident was Lord Chadwick of Lincoln City."

The Tianshu Academy had always been the department responsible for collecting intelligence for the royal family. The commander of the Tianshu Academy, Pedelio, immediately stepped forward and reported the information he had gathered to Tang Wu.

"Ghost tower? Can it dispel the plague?"

In the hall, everyone could not help but whisper when they heard this.

"Are you saying that Lord Fang Heng helped solve the crisis in Lincoln City and dispelled the plague, so Lord Chadwick swore allegiance to Tang Mingyue?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tang Wu frowned.

He had indeed personally ordered them to ignore Lincoln City's life and death, but Fang Heng and the others had taken advantage of the situation.

But even if Fang Heng really spent a lot of effort to deal with the plague aura, what about the other feudal lords

"What about the others? Even if Lord Chadwick was excusable, why did so many feudal lords swear allegiance to Tang Mingyue?"

"Your Majesty, there are rumors that Lord Fang Heng can help build a Tier 2 mage tower in a very short time. Moreover, the mage tower can dispel the plague."

Ding Shixiu reported, "Currently, due to the outbreak of the plague in various parts of the world, in order to prevent the spread of the plague, all the feudal lords are in danger. In addition, building the ghost tower for free is already extremely attractive. As a result, the various feudal lords are trying to befriend Lord Fang Heng, hoping to use this opportunity to obtain the qualifications to build a mage tower."

Pedelio added, "In addition, Tianshu Academy has investigated and Tang Mingyue has spread the news that the number of ghost towers built is limited. The feudal lords are on a first-come, first-served basis."

As Tang Wu listened, he clenched his fists tighter and tighter. His body could not help but tremble in anger.

Using the ghost tower to tempt the various feudal lords to surrender?

It seemed that most of the feudal lords of the Empire were ready to join Tang Mingyue.

Just to build a few mage towers?

"What about the Mage Association? Why would they cooperate with Tang Mingyue?"

Tang Wu really couldn't figure it out.

The Mage Association was so arrogant. They didn't even listen to the royal family's orders in the past. What medicine have they taken this time?

Why did they choose to pledge loyalty to Fang Heng so easily? Why did they have to go against him?

The hall fell into a brief silence.

Not to mention Tang Wu, the others couldn't figure it out either.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Tang Wu became even angrier and shouted, "Say something! Why isn't anyone talking now?"

"Pedelio! Tell me! What did your Tianshu Academy find out?"

Pedelio's face stiffened when he was called out. He braced himself and took half a step forward, explaining, "Your Majesty, we are also investigating this matter. We suspect that Lord Fang Heng might be involved. In addition, we believe that Lord Fang Heng has already taken up the position of Vice President of the Mage Association. The Mage Association will be vigorously promoting the study of necromancy."

Tang Wu gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Fang Heng! "

Fang Heng again!

He was the one who created the Land of Plague and the ghost tower. Now, he was even trying to interfere in the Mage Association!

Tang Wu never expected that everything would collapse so quickly because of Fang Heng!

With Fang Heng around, how could he fight for the throne of the royal family? Just surrender quickly!

In the silence, Archbishop Karkkila stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, please calm down. In my opinion, I'm afraid that all of this is Lord Fang Heng's plan."

Tang Wu's chest heaved up and down as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

Everyone turned to look at Karkkila.

Karkkila had been reinforcing the Holy Barrier, and he looked a little tired. He felt even more mentally exhausted.

The Holy Court had always regarded necromancy as evil, and for thousands of years, they had been spreading the threat of necromancy.

He didn't expect the Mage Association to publicly promote the study of necromancy! This undoubtedly made the entire Holy Court feel great danger.

"Your Majesty, as far as I know, the ghost tower is ineffective against the plague aura. I'm afraid that Lord Fang Heng spread this rumor to gain the loyalty of more Empire feudal lords. "

"Such a strategy may be effective for a short period of time, but it won't be able to deceive him for a long time. As long as we wait a little longer, we will naturally be able to find his weakness and give him a fatal blow!"

Tang Wu also calmed down after hearing this.

Thinking about it carefully, it seemed to make sense.

These words did not have any practical effect, but they could slightly stabilize his mentality.

"Hmm, that makes sense. I'll send someone to clarify the rumors first."

"Your Majesty, with all due respect, we're already a step too late. I'm afraid we won't be able to win the trust of more feudal lords if we continue to clarify the rumors now."

Tang Wu was already unhappy and asked, "Then what do you think we should do?"

"To share Your Majesty's worries, I previously discussed with Mr. Ding Shixiu and formulated three strategies for Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty can make a decision."

"Oh?"

Tang Wu asked in surprise, "What are the three strategies? Tell me quickly!"

Karkkila took half a step back and gestured for Ding Shixiu to step forward.

Ding Shixiu said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, Tianshu Academy has heard that there is a shortage of materials for the construction of the ghost tower. According to Tang Mingyue, it is due to the lack of magic cores. For this reason, Tang Mingyue has even offered a large sum of money to purchase the raw materials for the production of magic cores."

"The Mage Association actually gave Tang Mingyue the formula to create a magic core. I'll remember this first, and I'll slowly settle the score with them in the future."

Tang Wu temporarily held back his anger and tapped his fingers on the armrest. He pondered and asked, "Are you saying that we can stop them from using raw materials? The feudal lords of the Empire might have hidden a small portion of the elemental crystals, but they might not listen to us."

"No, it's not like that, Your Majesty. As far as I know, there are still many elemental crystals in the Empire's inventory. We can use this opportunity to trade the useless elemental crystals in the Empire's inventory with them. Of course, we need to do things in secret and trade with Fang Heng in the name of an Empire's feudal lord."

"What did you say? Are you guys crazy?!"

Tang Wu was stunned when he heard that. He wondered if Ding Shixiu was crazy.

What would you give the enemy what they lacked?

Was he out of his mind?

1278 Do it Again

"Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. After our analysis, we unanimously agreed that the so-called shortage of elemental crystals was just Fang Heng's delaying tactic. He was unable to build a large number of mage towers in a short period of time, so he used the excuse of lacking raw materials and offered a large price to buy them from outsiders. Fang Heng was sure that no one else had such resources other than the royal family."

"We can find someone to make a deal with Fang Heng. On one hand, we can use useless resources to obtain a large number of military resources from Fang Heng to prepare for the war with Tang Mingyue. On the other hand, Fang Heng has sufficient construction materials and no reason to delay the construction of the mage tower. Once the feudal lord finds out that the ghost tower is ineffective against the plague aura, they will naturally not let Fang Heng off."

Tang Wu frowned.

Thinking about it carefully, this plan did not sound like a problem.

However, he had concerns about the Holy Court.

The Holy Court had made consecutive mistakes in their judgment of the Land of Plague and Fang Heng.

Tang Wu already didn't trust them.

"What you said makes sense, but it's still inappropriate. I heard that Fang Heng can borrow the power of the undead creatures to build a tower. In just half a day, he built a Tier 2 ghost tower in the city. He does have the ability to build a mage tower. What if the ghost tower really has the ability to dispel the plague? Wouldn't we be giving the enemy a great gift?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I guarantee with my life that the ghost tower doesn't have such an ability!"

Karkkila was very confident. Even the Holy Tower of Light of the Holy Court could only release a defensive barrier to slightly resist the corrosion of the plague aura. How could the ghost tower of the necromancy element dispel the plague aura?

That was impossible!

Tang Wu stared at Karkkila and didn't dare to say anything.

He was already scared of Karkkila.

Several times, the things he said that seemed impossible came true.

When Karkkila saw Tang Wu's untrusting look, he also thought of what he had said before. He could only change his words and say sincerely, "Your Majesty, making a magic core is extremely time-consuming. Even if he was given a large number of resources, he wouldn't be able to complete it in a short period of time."

Tang Wu nodded.

This explanation was obviously more reliable. He turned around and looked at Ashton, the president of the Empire Mage Association.

Ashton nodded and said, "Indeed."

In fact, every year, the Empire would secretly deduct a portion of the collected elemental crystal materials, produce a portion of the magic cores, destroy a portion of the materials, and then announce the rest to the public. They had always claimed that they lacked materials and could not mass produce them. In fact, part of it was to balance the development of the Mage Association within the Empire.

In this situation, the Mage Association had already broken away from the Empire's control. If the Mage Association's power grew, who would have the final say in the Empire?

Over the years, a portion of the magic materials had been accumulated in the warehouse every year. After that, more and more of them had been accumulated, and even a lot of magic cores had been accumulated.

It could not be used, so it was simply thrown into the Empire's treasury by the previous royal family to collect dust.

It was naturally not bad to use them to exchange for some strategic materials.

Tang Wu remembered that the president of the Alchemy Society, Ovian, had mentioned to him last night that he wanted some rare materials. He said that they had the ability to deal with Fang Heng's sacred tree in the Land of Plague.

Perhaps he could give the materials he traded to the Alchemy Society to try.

Using the materials provided by Fang Heng to deal with the Land of Plague?

It seemed pretty good.

Tang Wu narrowed his eyes and asked, "What about the middle and worst plan?"

"Your Majesty, the ghost tower is unable to expel the plague. According to the information we received from the Tianshu Academy, the plague in the mining area of Lincoln City has indeed disappeared. We have discussed it with the Alchemy Society before, and we all agree that Lord Fang Heng has used some methods to strengthen the original seal in the iron mine."

"We just need to send someone to investigate Lincoln City and find out what Fang Heng did in the mine. After we find out everything, we'll announce it to the public. When Fang Heng's scheme is exposed, Her Highness Mingyue's reputation will naturally plummet."

Tang Wu naturally understood what he meant by 'investigate everything'. He frowned and said, "Lincoln City is now under Fang Heng's control. It's very dangerous to infiltrate and investigate personally."

"Your Majesty, thanks for your trust, I'm willing to personally lead people to expose Fang Heng's scheme."

Tang Wu thought for a moment but did not agree. He continued, "No hurry, let's talk about the worst plan first."

"Yes."

Karkkila nodded confidently and said, "As for the worst plan, it's extremely dangerous. It's the last resort after the best plan fails. Once it gets out, it won't be good for us. I suggest not using it unless it's a critical period."

Tang Wu nodded and said, "Yes. Everyone here can be trusted. You go first."

"We can think of a way to completely release the plague aura."

Tang Wu's pupils shrank.

"The plague aura was released by the abyssal demon hidden deep in the underground world. Now that its aura has leaked, it means that the lower seal has loosened. Once the seal is opened a little more, the plague aura will leak even more violently. The alchemy magic seal left behind by Fang Heng will definitely not be able to withstand it."

Killing intent appeared in Karkkila's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "At that time, we can announce to the public that Fang Heng's ghost tower not only failed to eliminate the plague but was also the culprit that caused it!"

The entire hall fell silent.

Everyone immediately felt a chill in their hearts.

The Holy Court was actually so ruthless? So unscrupulous?

If the plague spread again, the entire continent would fall into greater chaos.

At that time, let alone Fang Heng, could the royal family hold on?

Could the Empire hold on?

If this move was used, the outcome was very likely to be mutual destruction!

Karkkila also knew how risky the last plan was. After saying that, he took half a step back and stood in the crowd.

"Your Majesty, please make a decision."

Tang Wu glanced at Karkkila.

"The best plan will be carried out together with the middle plan. The best plan will be left to Ding Shixiu. Karkkila, you will personally lead people to investigate Lincoln City. As for the worst plan, there is no need to mention it in the future. I want to know everything about Fang Heng. Is that clear?"

"Yes!"

"That's all for now. Don't leak a word of today's discussion to the outside world. Everyone, disperse first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that everyone had left, Tang Wu signaled with his eyes to Karkkila to stay.

After everyone left, Tang Wu looked at Karkkila and said in a deep voice, "Prepare the worst plan you mentioned. I will allow you to release a small amount of the plague aura within a controllable range. Be careful and don't leak it."

Karkkila narrowed his eyes, and his face revealed an expression of 'as expected' as he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I understand. Leave everything to me."

1279 A Win-Win Situation

[Hint: Your zombie clone completed the construction of the Tier 2 mage tower. The player's Empire reputation has increased. Tang Mingyue's heir to the Empire reputation has increased slightly.]

[Hint: Lord Bohr has sworn allegiance to Tang Mingyue. Tang Mingyue's heir to the Empire reputation has increased slightly.]

The game hint quickly refreshed his retina.

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief. While there was no one around, he quickly gulped down a bottle of coffee.

Ever since they parted ways, he had been focusing on controlling zombie clones to build the mage tower.

The results were gratifying.

After his continuous improvements, the construction speed increased significantly. After arranging the instructions for zombie clones to carry out the construction, he could still take a nap for a while.

After receiving the news that the construction of the mage tower was completed, Lord Bohr rushed over with the Mage Association in his territory.

Looking at the two mage towers that stood tall in his territory, Lord Bohr was in a great mood. He looked excited as he exclaimed, "Thank you so much! Lord Fang Heng! From now on, you are my good brother!"

"You're welcome."

Fang Heng nodded.

As the teleportation passages were opened up, the movement and transfer of resources within the Empire's territory would become smoother, and the construction of the ghost tower would also be faster.

Zhuo Lingfang had also trotted over with Lord Bohr's team. She poked her head out from behind a guard and hurriedly said to Fang Heng, "Lord Fang Heng, the territory has encountered a thorny problem. Her Highness Mingyue needs your decision."

Li Xue's offline team was extremely anxious.

However, Fang Heng repeatedly stressed that he did not want to be disturbed while he was building the towers.

Thus, Zhuo Lingfang could only wait until the construction was completed before she rushed over to look for Fang Heng.

"What is it?"

"Previously, we announced that we were purchasing elemental crystals. A feudal lord of the Empire contacted us and told us that they had a large number of magic crystals stored in their territory and were willing to sell them to us."

Fang Heng was delighted.

That would be great!

Buy it!

With the problem of raw materials solved, the plan to set up mage towers around the world could proceed smoothly.

The more mage towers he had, the more confident he would be in dealing with the final boss, the abyssal demon.

But why did Li Xue hesitate?

Was there a problem with this transaction?

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "It's a good thing that they're willing to trade, but is there a problem?"

"Hmm, so you've also sensed it, Lord Fang Heng. The other feudal lord doesn't need to exchange money or ordinary materials. Instead, he needs some rare materials and military materials, and the quantity is very large."

Fang Heng frowned as if he had smelled a conspiracy.

In the past, he had always been the one scheming against others. This time, he was busy building the mage tower and had no time. Now, his opponent had started to cause trouble.

"Sister Xue felt that it was a little strange, so she did some background research on Lord Gasani and found that he had some relationship with His Highness Tang Wu."

When Lord Bohr heard this, he interrupted, "You're talking about Gasani, right? Yes, I know him, and I'm quite familiar with him. Tang Wu trained in his territory when he was young, and the two of them do have a close relationship."

Fang Heng hesitated for a moment. He clearly knew that there was a problem with this transaction.

However, the elemental crystals provided by the other party were too tempting!

"What about the elemental crystals they provided? Have you checked everything?"

"Yes, the sample provided has been checked. There's no problem."

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and fell silent for a moment.

So the people of the Empire wanted to sell fake goods to cheat them of military supplies?

Such a simple trick?

Was it necessary?

Lord Bohr saw that Lord Fang Heng was hesitating. He laughed loudly and patted Fang Heng's shoulder.

"Brother Fang Heng, you might not know what's going on outside, but you're in high demand right now. The feudal lords outside are all in need of your Tier 2 mage tower, and many of them are trying to find a way to meet you. If Gasani dares to sell you a counterfeit, you don't even need to do anything. The feudal lords outside can drown them."

Fang Heng opened his mouth and thought, "Am I that awesome?"

"If you're still worried, you can go to the Mage Association as a third party to conduct the transaction. They'll inspect the goods first. The people of the Mage Association have always been arrogant. They don't care about such scams."

"Thanks for the reminder."

Fang Heng nodded at Bohr kindly.

As long as the elemental crystals were real, the risk was acceptable.

Fang Heng thought about it and couldn't find any loopholes. Worst come to worst, he would at most lose a large number of military supplies.

Anyway, he never thought of starting a war with Tang Wu. Even if he gave the military supplies to Tang Wu, the losses were completely within the acceptable range.

There was still a little time left for the trial, so he could just drag it out.

Fang Heng's thoughts were simple. The current game trial was still in progress, so he would most likely have to fight the abyssal demon in the end.

By the time the abyssal demon appeared, the people would be so busy dealing with it that the Empire would not have the chance to fight among themselves.

If Tang Wu made the first move, then they would not be afraid. They would directly tear the underground seal and flip the table!

Therefore, armaments were not important to him.

The reason why he was still in the game was because of the Saint mission and the final trial mission.

The current trial score was SS.

If he wanted to farm the highest level SSS, he had to kill the final boss, the abyssal demon.

The difficulty level was obvious. Usually, the higher the difficulty, the better the reward.

Right now, they could not say that they had everything. At least, they still had many advantages.

For example, Tang Mingyue's identity and Ed's group of players who were still kept in the dark.

If he exited the trial and thought of a way to enter the game again, there might be some changes.

It would be best if they could safely complete the mission of killing the demon in the trial environment!

In this way, he would be able to get the double reward of killing and an SSS-level trial score!

Fang Heng nodded and said, "Tell Ed to let them do the trade. The materials used to create the magic core are very important to us. The sooner, the better. Also, we can consider letting the Mage Association conduct a third-party appraisal. You guys can decide on the specifics."

"Okay, okay. I'll do it immediately."

Zhuo Lingfang immediately nodded and agreed. She forcefully logged off on the spot, and her face gradually stiffened.

Fang Heng looked at the game log again. There were less than seven days left in the trial. He had to hurry up.

Late at night the next day, the moonlight shone on the road leading to Lincoln City.

In the past two days, a large number of mage apprentices had gone to Lincoln City. The city was in short supply of various resources, and the Kanur Chamber of Commerce was transporting mage resources to the city overnight.

Archbishop Karkkila and the six members of the Holy Court were also on the team.

Karkkila poked his head out of the carriage to observe.

From afar, Lincoln's City was shrouded in a mist of undead.

Undead!

Such a thick mist of the undead!

Sneaking into Lincoln City required some preparation work, so Karkkila took some time.

Yesterday afternoon, he decided to come to Lincoln City personally to investigate the situation after making a plan of action with His Majesty. Last night, he had re-strengthened the sealing magic array within the royal family. The next day, he had only obtained the sacred sword of breaking seal from the headquarters of the Holy Court at dawn. He had made all the preparations. It was not until noon that the team had secretly set off from the royal family. It was already late at night when they arrived.

Report chapter

1280 Night Scouting

Karkkila's expression was solemn.

In less than two days, what had happened in Lincoln City?

He had arrived in a hurry, so he had only skimmed through the latest information regarding Lincoln City at noon.

Rumor had it that many apprentices of the Mage Association had gathered in Lincoln City to further their studies.

At that time Karkkila had thought that it was a little strange.

Why did they have to go to Lincoln City?

Only now did he realize the seriousness of the problem. Given the thickness of the undead ghost fog, it was obvious that they were practicing necromancy!

While he was thinking, the merchant carriage slowed down.

The entrance of the city could be seen in front of them. The Chamber of Commerce was preparing to go forward to inspect.

Karkkila stuck his head out of the window and looked out. His heart sank even more.

It was already late at night, and the gates of Lincoln City were wide open.

The entire city was shrouded in a thin layer of undead ghost fog. The fog even affected his vision, making it difficult for him to see the city clearly.

The guards at the city gate were extremely lax. They looked at the Chamber of Commerce's qualification certificate and reached out to let them in. They were too lazy to even open the accompanying materials to check.

The convoy stopped for less than half a minute before continuing to move. Under the urging of the guards, they quickly entered the city.

The members of the Holy Court team in the carriage couldn't help but find it strange. They exchanged glances with each other.

According to the information he had received, the city gates were sealed at night, and the guards were usually very tight.

Why were they so relaxed today?

The group continued to move forward for a few minutes. A young man from the Chamber of Commerce jumped onto the carriage and said respectfully, "Gentlemen, we have successfully passed the inspection outside the city. We will immediately send you to the hotel area and drop you off at the entrance of the Sunset Hotel. Please be prepared."

"Yes."

An elderly Holy Paladin from the team asked, "Little brother, what happened in the city? Why are the guards at the entrance so lax?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you don't know since you've just arrived from the outside. The entire city is now open to the public. The Mage Association and Lord Chadwick have already reached an agreement to build Lincoln City into a sacred place for the study of necromancy. There are so many people coming and going outside now, most of them are merchants and mage apprentices from the Chamber of Commerce. Ordinary people won't come to the city at all. There's a large number of supplies delivered every day, so there's no need for the guards to check."

One of the judges of the Holy Court, Mary Fiel, frowned and said, "Aren't you worried that spies will sneak in?"

"So be it. If a powerful character really wants to sneak into the city, the city's entrance inspection won't be enough to stop them. As for ordinary thieves, there's even less to worry about. Everyone knows that this is the territory of Lord Fang Heng, the owner of the Land of Plague. It's a holy land for necromancy. With so many mages here, who would dare to come here and seek death?"

"We're about to reach the hotel area. Please get ready."

As the young man spoke, he lifted the greatsword on his back and jumped off the carriage again.

"The holy land for necromancy…"

Karkkila looked out of the window at the situation outside the carriage. He felt increasingly uneasy and muttered to himself.

A moment later, the carriage stopped outside a hotel.

There were many hotels along the street that was open for business. The lights were bright, and one could hear the noise from the hotels at the door.

A clear voice called out from outside the carriage, "Friends, we've arrived!"

Karkkila led everyone down from the carriage.

The manager of the Chamber of Commerce cupped his fists at Karkkila and the others.

"I still have a batch of emergency supplies for the mages that I need to send to the City Lord's fortress. As you can see, the city isn't very safe right now. Magic arrays have been set up in the hotel area, so it won't be affected by the undead ghost fog. Take care, everyone."

"Thank you."

"Let's go! Remember, be careful!"

The supervisor reminded him again and waved his hand to signal the Chamber of Commerce team to continue transporting the supplies.

The seven members of the Holy Court looked at Karkkila.

"Yes, we need to be extra careful this time. Let's go."

Karkkila led the way into the hotel.

Ding dong, ding dong…

The door of the Sunset Hotel was pushed open by Karkkila, causing the crisp sound of wind chimes.

"The hotel is full. You can go to other places to take a look."

The young man in front of the counter had a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes. He raised his head and looked at the person at the door in a daze. After saying that, he continued to lie on the table to catch up on his sleep.

Karkkila looked around.

Even though it was already late at night, there were still many young people gathered in the hall.

Most of them were wearing the accessories of a mage apprentice.

Judging from their auras, most of the mages had the scent of the undead.

More than 80% of them were apprentices who practiced necromancy!

Karkkila subconsciously clenched his fists.

Fang Heng! What was he trying to do?

A young man in the corner of the hall noticed the person who had just arrived. His lively eyes lit up as he walked up quickly and whispered, "Is this the archbishop? I'm Gert. I've contacted you before."

"Yes."

Karkkila nodded at Gert and gestured at the Holy Court rune on his wrist. He asked, "Are there always so many guests in the hotel?"

"Archbishop, these apprentice mages have just arrived today. The nearby hotels are all full. They have no place to stay, so many of them are resting in the hall for the night."

It had already reached this level?

Just how mages were there in Lincoln City practicing necromancy?

Karkkila's heart sank.

The Holy Court had always viewed necromancy as its foe. Seeing that necromancy was gradually becoming the mainstream of the academic field, the faces of the people from the Holy Court who were accompanying them turned ugly.

Mary Fiel asked, "Are they all here to learn about necromancy?"

"Yes, the Mage Association has already set the necromancy as an advanced assessment. Mages who study necromancy can also have priority in entering the ghost tower for further studies. The various feudal lords are also competing to recruit necromancy scholars, so the scholars can enjoy higher subsidies. Many factors have made most of the mages who have entered the school choose the study of necromancy."

"I heard that many mages who have studied for a few years or even more than ten years are also preparing to transfer over to necromancy."

Gert told him everything he knew and continued to explain, "It's not just this hotel. Several hotels in the city are already full. The news about the undead holy land was released yesterday afternoon. I'm afraid there will be more people coming here these two days."

Karkkila, the few Holy Paladins, and the two judges who came all had ugly expressions on their faces.

Fang Heng!

For hundreds of years, the Holy Court had worked hard to instill the idea that the study of necromancy was a disaster in the world. As a result, necromancy was one of the most unpopular studies on the continent.

However, ever since the appearance of the necromancer Fang Heng…

Damn it!

Fang Heng's actions were digging up the foundation of their Holy Court!

Karkkila's expression became increasingly unfriendly.

He even felt that Fang Heng had been targeting the Holy Court all along.

1281 Fear

"Lord Bishop, we have to take action. Fang Heng cannot stay here any longer."

"Yes."

Karkkila's eyes flickered.

He could already feel a great danger.

It was no longer just the Land of Plague and Tang Wu fighting for the Empire.

This was related to the development of the Holy Court.

He had to get rid of Fang Heng as soon as possible! There was simply no time to waste!

The accompanying guide, Gert, was a believer and follower of the Holy Court. Seeing that their expressions were a little ugly, he was still ignorant of what the problem was. He could only whisper, "Archbishop, you've worked hard coming all the way here. We're very short on hotels now, but I've found a few for you…"

Karkkila raised his hand and interrupted him, "No need, thank you. Time is of the essence. How's the situation in the mining area?"

"The mining area is where the ghost fog is the thickest. Many necromancers are staying there, saying that they're cultivating. I don't know anything about necromancy, so I can't go near to investigate."

"Well, it's not your fault. Lead the way. Take us to the mining area to have a look."

"Alright."

After leaving the hotel, Gert led the group along a secluded path toward the mining area.

From afar, Karkkila saw seven ghost towers built around the mining area, enveloping it in the center.

The ghost fog continued to overflow from the top of the ghost tower, enveloping the entire mining area.

The dense ghost fog triggered the birth of vengeful spirits.

Many young mages gathered in groups of twos and threes, using the burning soul candle to see the surrounding vengeful spirits, and then using the Book of the Dead to capture their souls.

As they went deeper into the mining area, the number of necromancers around them decreased, but their levels were higher.

Karkkila and the others had already kept a low profile, but they still attracted the attention of many people.

It was late at night, and the mage apprentices were grinding for vengeful spirits to train. Most of them were here to be selected as the latest batch of trainees in the ghost tower.

But what was with this group of people? They seemed strange.

Although the mages had their doubts, they did not waste time thinking about it and continued to gather their mental strength to capture souls.

Karkkila and the others did not say a word, but the uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger.

"Lord Bishop."

Mary Fiel couldn't help but say again, "The ghost tower is harder to deal with than we expected. A large number of mage apprentices practicing necromancy is a disaster for us. The longer Fang Heng lives, the more the disaster will spread. The destruction of the world is also close at hand."

"Yes."

At present, it was still uncertain whether the ghost tower would be effective against the plague aura, but what they saw and heard after entering Lincoln City had already made the people of the Holy Court feel a great threat!

As long as Fang Heng was alive, the Holy Court wouldn't have peace.

"I know."

Karkkila's voice was a little dry.

He had already placed Fang Heng on the same level as the abyssal demon.

They had to be eradicated!

The Holy Court's group felt particularly uncomfortable amid the ghost fog. Along the way, the team still needed to avoid the newly born vengeful spirits. In order not to be discovered, everyone could not use the Holy Light shield.

After stumbling for half an hour, the group finally entered the periphery of the mining area.

Gert brought the Holy Court and the others to hide in the bushes and carefully spy.

"Lord Bishop, the entrance to the mine is right in front of us."

"Alright."

The entrance to the mine had been carefully sealed. More than ten Empire Guards and a few mages were guarding the door.

Ever since the ghost tower had been operating at full capacity 24 hours a day, there were also mage apprentices from the Mage Association guarding the entrance of the cave.

Gert swallowed his saliva carefully and said, "Lord Bishop, please be careful. There are necromancers from the Mage Association nearby. They are hostile to the Holy Court. If we are discovered, it will be very troublesome."

"Yes, they can't stop us just by themselves."

Karkkila nodded and said, "Alright, go back first. Don't be affected by us."

In the darkness, Karkkila walked out of the bushes and headed straight for the entrance of the mine.

"Stop! Who is it!"

At the entrance of the mine, a guard of the Empire saw a figure appear from afar and immediately stopped him. He shouted, "Who are you? This is the sealed area! Outsiders are forbidden from entering. Leave quickly!"

Karkkila did not slow down. As he took a step forward, he raised the scepter in his hand and gently knocked it to the ground.

Buzz…

The golden Holy Light shield spread out.

Huh?!

That's…!!

Among the guards of the Empire at the mine entrance, one of the middle-aged men's pupils suddenly tightened, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

It was the Holy Court!

Deng Haodong was a player.

To ensure the safety of the seal, Li Xue's team made the corresponding adjustments. Every day, three people would take turns guarding the cave. If anything happened to the seal's entrance, the player team would be the first to receive news!

Deng Haodong had already memorized all the information about the appearance of the people involved in the mission before he started the mission. He had never thought that the archbishop of the Holy Court would appear in person!

"Ka ka ka…"

Deng Haodong gulped and was about to shout when he saw fine golden chains of Holy Light seeping out of the armor, binding him firmly in place.

The golden Holy Light chains also bound the royal guards beside him. They stood rooted to the ground in a daze, and a wooden expression gradually appeared on their faces.

A few Holy Paladins behind Karkkila charged at them!

Deng Haodong gritted his teeth. There was no time to go offline.

Under such circumstances, forcefully logging off would even be judged by the game to have encountered a special situation and be forcefully pulled back into the game.

Use that!

An emergency signal transmission tool that cost 300 King of Gods' points.

[Twilight lover's tears].

With a thought, Deng Haodong took out a drop of water from his backpack and dropped it on the ground.

…

Late at night, in Hani City, Qiu Yaokang's exclusive laboratory was brightly lit.

Qiu Yaokang had always had a morbid desire to study viruses. Before the zombie virus broke out, he often led his research team to stay up late.

For this reason, the complaints received by the research institute could fill a bookshelf in a month.

After the Zombie Apocalypse, Qiu Yaokang developed a virus medicine to improve his physique. Once his body's endurance had caught up, working overtime through the night had gradually become the norm.

"You're here."

In the laboratory, Qiu Yaokang put down the medicine he had just concocted and looked at Fang Heng, who was wearing a white protective suit at the door.

"Yes, I heard that you have something urgent to talk to me about?"

"Yes, come and take a look."

Qiu Yaokang led Fang Heng to the experiment table and gestured for him to observe through the microscope.

"This is?"

Fang Heng leaned over to take a look and his heart skipped a beat.

Through the microscope, he saw that the infected black cells in the petri dish had swallowed the originally necrotic white cells, causing the entire primary cells to gradually undergo mutation.

Qiu Yaokang shrugged and tried to explain in layman's terms that Fang Heng could understand.

"As you can see, this is the truth behind the resurrection of the plague aura. After the cell body was devoured, it changed… The continuous mutation led to the resurrection effect we saw… Yes, this is the experimental report I compiled. There are detailed data in it."

1282 Mutated Guess

"Oh."

Fang Heng listened for a long time, but he still could not understand. He roughly understood that the resurrection effect of the plague aura was also a type of virus.

He didn't reach out to take the lab report. He just continued to look at Qiu Yaokang.

Qiu Yaokang definitely wouldn't come looking for him for such a simple matter at night. After all, this was a waste of time and would disturb his research progress.

Qiu Yaokang adjusted his glasses and looked at Fang Heng. He said, "In summary, I have an idea that I want you to verify."

"Yes."

Fang Heng knew that the main event was coming, so he put on a serious expression and said, "Please speak, I'm listening carefully."

"Since the plague aura can corrupt creatures infected by the 'demonic seed' virus and allow them to gain the ability to revive, what about you?"

"Ah?"

"When I was researching, I suddenly realized that the virus in your body is also a special branch of the 'demonic seed' virus. Or to be more precise, it's a virus that is the primogenitor of the 'demonic seed' virus. In theory, the effects of each particular virus after mutation may be different."

Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng with a burning gaze, as if he was looking at a rare test subject.

"I'm inquisitive about what will happen if you absorb the plague aura. Yes, the Hila virus in your body is extremely special. It has a high-intensity recovery ability, and the level of the virus is higher than that of the demonic seed."

As Fang Heng listened, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

What did he mean by calling him here in the middle of the night? Was Qiu Yaokang trying to target him for his research?

"And then?"

Qiu Yaokang's tone became a little excited as he continued, "Then I used your blood sample to do some tests and found a very interesting conclusion."

Fang Heng asked, "What conclusion?"

"Instability, and mutation."

"Since the Hila virus has modified your body, your body is already in a perfect state of balance, so you are not easily affected by the plague aura. However, long-term exposure to a high concentration of the plague aura will still cause cell death."

Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes and added, "But we can break this solidified state."

Fang Heng felt a little uneasy as he listened.

"What do you mean? Explain in a way that I can understand."

"It's probably similar to a kind of reconstruction. After entering the reconstruction state and absorbing the plague aura again, you might awaken and obtain new abilities. Of course, there's a high chance that you'll lose the original effect of the Hila virus, or the effect will be weakened, or you can change to a similar ability. For example, Tang Mingyue has a powerful mental strength, and the barbarians have blackthorns spreading out of their bodies. The original devouring body I saw in the underground palace is also a kind of mutation…"

Qiu Yaokang said excitedly, his eyes shining with the desire to learn, "Of course, there is a high possibility that your body will directly disintegrate. As for what will happen, I can't give an assessment yet."

Fang Heng frowned as he listened but he finally understood.

In other words, Qiu Yaokang had found a way to let him absorb the plague aura.

The key point was what will happen after the absorption was still uncertain.

Perhaps he could obtain a new ability at random? But there was still a risk of death?

Wasn't this nonsense?

Fang Heng could not help but smile bitterly.

The undead effect of the Hila virus was simply outstanding. Coupled with the strength of the zombie clone, its awesomeness was simply maxed out!

What if he accidentally ruined the undying body skill?

The risk was too great.

Fang Heng resolutely rejected it in his heart.

"I know the risk is high, but I suggest you give it a try."

Qiu Yaokang handed Fang Heng a syringe filled with a light purple potion, and said, "This is an injection I developed. It's meant to be injected under the skin. After using it, you need to inhale a large amount of plague aura in a short period to take effect. After the virus changes, it will produce a mutation effect. In short, you need to be prepared before the injection."

Fang Heng was a little speechless. He protested, "Hey, I haven't promised you yet, have I? This experiment is too risky."

"That's true, but the experimental data will allow us to have a deeper understanding of the Hila virus in your body. It can also lay the foundation for the next step of research."

Qiu Yaokang nodded seriously and said, "Just put it away and be prepared. I heard from Tang Mingyue that our world has a special protection mechanism. Even if the experiment fails, you won't die. When you leave the world, everything will recover, including the Hila virus in your body, so this is an excellent opportunity to experiment."

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

So that was what he meant.

An experiment with the help of the trial environment?

There was indeed the description he heard when he entered the trial game.

After exiting the trial, the effects on the body during the game could be restored or automatically restored by spending King of Gods' points, unless it was a small number of soul-related skill effects.

In that case, he could give it a try.

When he logged out of the game, he would take the initiative to conduct a human experiment.

Fang Heng also wanted to know how the Hila virus in his body would change after coming into contact with the plague aura.

What if he could level up?

"Okay, I understand."

Fang Heng took the syringe from Qiu Yaokang and put it in his backpack. He then raised his head and asked, "By the way, is there any result from the research on the plague aura?"

"The potion is already being developed. There will be a simulated test product tomorrow. It can greatly increase the resistance to the plague aura for two hours. If everything goes well, it can be mass-produced in two days." Qiu Yaokang nodded and added, "Yes, remember to prepare a sample collector before the experiment. Collect more living samples for subsequent research."

"Alright, I'll remember it."

…

In Lincoln City, outside the mine, the golden Holy Light bloomed for a few breaths before slowly dissipating.

The surroundings returned to silence once again.

The Holy Paladin walked to Karkkila's side and whispered, "Bishop, the guards have been knocked unconscious. They won't wake up for a while."

"Okay, let's go."

Karkkila summoned a ball of Holy Light and led the way into the mine Brilliant light lit up the entire mine. One could see wisps of black aura seeping out from the depths of the mine.

Karkkila stood where he was and watched the black aura gradually dissolve into the ghost fog. His heart sank again.

Mary Fiel also noticed something strange and whispered, "Archbishop, the plague aura is still leaking out. Maybe the ghost fog has a small effect on clearing the plague aura."

"Yes, the rumors outside are not completely fabricated. I didn't expect the ghost fog to be related to the plague aura. I don't know what method Fang Heng used. Let's go in and take a look, and see if we can find some clues."

The group walked through the passage dug by the zombie clones and soon arrived at the sealed room in the underground passage.

1283 Destruction

The magic array in the center of the room was still in operation.

The seal was not complete.

A small amount of plague breath was leaking out from the seal.

Karkkila walked forward and squatted down to observe the seal. His eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

Mary Fiel had a bad premonition and whispered, "Archbishop, did you find anything?"

Karkkila shook his head and replied, "It's not a seal from necromancy."

"Bishop, Fang Heng's existence will make more and more mage apprentices choose necromancy. If this continues, we will be in a very passive position."

"Yes."

Karkkila nodded and said, "Let's do it. Please take out the unsealed holy sword."

"Yes, Archbishop."

The four Holy Paladins' expressions turned solemn when they heard this. They stood together in a square, stretched out their left hands, and pressed them on the cross pendant in front of their chests. They lowered their heads and chanted a prayer.

"Buzz…"

A dark golden magic array condensed in the center of the four Holy Paladins.

Karkkila's expression was solemn.

Previously, he hadn't made up his mind to break the seal of the abyssal demon, and if he were to break it, to what extent.

It was until they arrived at Lincoln City, everything he saw and heard made Karkkila's fear of Fang Heng reached its peak!

He could not allow Fang Heng to continue with his actions!

Even if he had to completely release the abyssal demon, he had to stop the development of necromancy!

Moreover, the abyssal demon was already restless deep underground. They were only helping to release the abyssal demon in advance!

The holy sword, shrouded in golden light, slowly floated from the magic array and stood before Karkkila.

A blinding light enveloped the entire cave.

Karkkila grabbed the holy sword and walked to the seal.

"Chi!!"

The sword shrouded in golden Holy Light went straight through the outer seal, as if it had melted, and slowly sank into the abyss.

A few seconds later, the entire sword sank into the abyss seal.

"Phew."

Karkkila took a deep breath, and the fatigue on his face became even more apparent.

Mary Fiel was worried and asked, "Archbishop, has the seal been broken?"

"Yes, the power of the Holy Light arbitrator has already entered the abyss. The power will be released slowly, and it is estimated that it will affect the seal in a day. When the plague aura spreads, it will be in two days. By then, we will have already returned to the capital of the Empire."

"Everything started because of the Land of Plague."

Karkkila retracted his gaze and said, "Anyway, let's leave this place first and try not to be discovered."

"Alright."

After the matter was settled, Mary Fiel heaved a sigh of relief and nodded in unison to return with the team.

Karkkila was troubled.

Most of the abyss seal had been broken, and Fang Heng would be affected by it, hindering the spread of necromancy.

However, they would also be corroded by the plague aura.

He would take it one step at a time.

As he thought about it, Karkkila raised his head and looked at the exit of the mine not far away.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

He saw the fire.

Outside the door, the royal guards raised their torches and sealed the entrance. Other than that, there were also the necromancy mages of the Empire who had gathered around.

….

"Yes, Fang Heng. That's right. They're all high-quality elemental crystals. I've just asked Ed's men to check them all."

In the Land of Plague's warehouse, Tang Mingyue and Fang Heng were taking stock.

The first batch of goods to be traded with Lord Gasani had arrived and was temporarily stored in the warehouse of Hani City.

It was worth mentioning that Fang Heng had also built a ghost tower in Hani City earlier.

Fang Heng was in a good mood.

After spending nearly two days, he built another eighteen mage towers in the central region of the Empire.

The elemental crystals were also in place.

Once the raw materials were gathered, he would hand them over to the Mage Association and let them spend a few days completing the refinement of the magic cores. By then, they would be able to make it in time for the construction of the next batch of mage towers.

Everything was in place!

Suddenly, several lines of game notifications appeared on his retina.

[Hint: Because you have established and promoted the study of necromancy in the Empire, the hostility of the Holy Court towards you has increased. Your friendship with the Holy Court has greatly decreased.]

[Hint: Due to your establishment of necromancy in the Empire and widespread publicity, your reputation is gradually spreading.

[Hint: Necromancy is spreading rapidly on the continent. Your friendship with some feudal lords has changed.]

"Lord Fang Heng, are you satisfied with the elemental crystals?"

Lord Gasani was very concerned about this transaction, so he came personally to participate. Of course, he also had the idea of observing Hani City to collect information.

Fang Heng shifted his attention away from the game notification and nodded. He replied, "Of course, I've always trusted Lord Gasani. Our military supplies should have arrived, right?"

"Yes, it's about time."

Even though Fang Heng knew in his heart that Gasani was sent by Tang Wu, he pretended not to know on the surface. He completed the transaction with Gasani very quickly and generously offered a high price. He wrote a huge IOU to exchange for elemental crystals from Lord Gasani in advance.

Both parties were very satisfied with this deal.

Gasani had also planted two people in Hani City. He knew that Tang Mingyue had surplus military supplies in her warehouse.

Not only did they empty the weapons and armaments warehouse that Tang Mingyue and Tang Wu had accumulated over the years, but they also wrote a large amount of IOU, which was a pleasant surprise.

"Happy cooperation."

The two of them shook hands with a smile on their faces.

While they were chatting happily, a guard walked up and whispered something into Tang Mingyue's ear.

Tang Mingyue's expression changed slightly when she heard this and she gave Fang Heng a look.

"It seems like Your Highness Mingyue still has some matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first."

Gasani noticed their eye contact and nodded at Tang Mingyue before leaving with his two guards.

After Gasani and the others left, Fang Heng turned his head and asked, "What is it? It seems urgent?"

"Yes, something happened in Lincoln City. Just now, the archbishop of the Holy Court personally entered the mine and was discovered by the players that Li Xue arranged to guard. Ed's team has already gone to block them, and the players are also rushing over."

The Holy Court?!

So it had something to do with the game notification that had just popped up?

Fang Heng pondered for a moment and fell silent.

Previously, they speculated that the aura of the abyssal demon was very likely released by the Holy Court.

But why was the Holy Court going to Lincoln City this time? Was he preparing to spread the seal?

So ruthless?

Or did the Holy Court have a way to deal with the abyssal demon?

Tang Mingyue's thoughts were different from Fang Heng's. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng, Ed and his group of players are quite reliable. The Holy Court has already cooperated with Tang Wu. This time, they still dare to sneak into our territory. We have to make them pay for it."

Oh?

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched as he met Tang Mingyue's excited gaze.

Destroy the archbishop of the Holy Court?

He had an idea!

It coincided with what he had thought at the beginning!

"I also want to go, but…"

Fang Heng glanced at the skill bar.

Mo Jiawei had previously helped to build a large number of vampire altars in the underground world. With the help of the cave-dwelling beasts, they hunted the prey in the underground world to earn blood. The cooldown time for the summoning of the Vampire King's coffin had already ended yesterday.

As for the ultimate skill, Everlasting Moon, there were still four days left before it was completed.

He had to trap the other party for four days and then finish them off with a wave of big moves.

Sure that you're not joking?

1284 Interception

Fang Heng had personally witnessed the archbishop of the Holy Court using part of his strength. Moreover, since the other party had the guts to personally investigate, he must have the confidence to leave.

The mid-tier game world's Holy Court's big boss was much stronger than the world of the vampires.

Even if he could trap the other party, he might not be able to defeat him with the ultimate move of the Everlasting Moon.

Fang Heng calculated for a long time, but he still felt that he could not win.

"Okay, I got it. I'll go over and take a look."

Fang Heng nodded.

Since the other party had already come knocking on their door, he had to go over and take a look even if he couldn't beat them. He wanted to leave an unforgettable impression on the Holy Court.

"I'll go with you."

"No need." Fang Heng shook his head and said, "You should stay. A batch of enlightenment stone materials will be sent over soon. You still need to refine it. Also, you might not be able to kill the archbishop this time. If you fail, your reputation will be affected."

Huh??

Tang Mingyue blinked her eyes in confusion.

Wait a minute, kill the archbishop of the Holy Court?

Who said anything about killing the archbishop?

She just wanted to stand on the moral high ground and criticize the other party. At the same time, she wanted to increase her reputation and cause some trouble for the Holy Court.

It would be best if she could extort a sum of money from the Holy Court…

"I'm going."

Tang Mingyue raised her head again and saw that Fang Heng had already waved his hand and walked out of the hall.

"Wait a moment."

Tang Mingyue quickly caught up and traded more than 20 spell scrolls, "I cheated these from those feudal lords. Be careful."

"Yes."

…

In Lincoln City, the group of people from the Holy Court was surrounded by the necromancers.

Archbishop Karkkila looked at the increasing number of people and thought to himself that things were not good.

He had been discovered!

Before he came here, he had considered being discovered, but he did not expect that there would be so many necromancers from the Mage Association in Lincoln City.

Among the crowd, Li Xue's party members came to support them one after another.

The players knew that they couldn't win a fight, so they started to provoke the mages, damage the reputation of the Holy Court, and encourage the NPCs to take action.

"It's them! Sneaking into the sealed land! Don't let them escape!"

"That's right. Why is it always someone from the Holy Court?!"

Karkkila took half a step forward, looked around at the crowd, and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, the Holy Court has no intention of becoming enemies with the Mage Association, nor does it intend to start a war. Currently, the seal of the abyss is broken, and the plague aura is leaking. We're here to investigate the reason for the leakage of the abyssal aura."

"Hmph, investigate? You said that you wanted to investigate. Where is the evidence? What did you find out? Tell me!"

"You make it sound so easy! Investigate? Who knows what you guys went in for?"

The players started to create a ruckus, "Since it's an investigation, then let's do it openly. Is there a need to be so sneaky?!"

Some of the mage apprentices who didn't know the truth were also led astray, and they all looked at the Holy Court's group with suspicion.

When they found out that something had happened in the sealed land, the nearby feudal lords kept coming over through the teleportation passage to join in the fun.

Among them were Lord Brent and the accompanying sword saint of the Empire, Chepo.

"Tsk, the Holy Court again. They want the world to be in chaos."

Lord Brent curled his lips and ridiculed in disdain.

He was in a bad mood today.

Two days ago, there were several places in his territory where the plague aura leaked, and the people from the Holy Court preached to him about the dangers of the plague aura, fooling him that Fang Heng from the Land of Plague was the culprit behind the leakage and that only the Holy Light could save the continent.

As there were a large number of believers of the Holy Court in Lord Brent's territory, and the believers had formed a group to cause trouble, he was tricked to ask the Holy Court for help in a hurry.

To solve the issue of the plague aura, Lord Brent even provided a lot of convenience to the Holy Court.

In the end, when the problem of the plague aura was almost solved, he came back to his senses, and only then did he realize that Fang Heng's ghost tower could also eliminate the plague aura.

After asking around, he heard that seven mage towers had been built in Lincoln City to resist the plague. Lord Brent's eyes immediately turned red.

These people from the Holy Court were all dogs!

If he had known earlier, would he have begged them?

Wouldn't it be better to have these seven mage towers?

Therefore, Lord Brent immediately brought his guards to Lincoln City overnight to look for Fang Heng. However, he was too late. When he arrived, he could not even see Fang Heng, so he could only queue up.

Seeing the people from the Holy Court again, Lord Brent's expression turned even uglier.

In the crowd, Ed was unusually excited.

After he received the news that the mine was ambushed, he immediately brought his men to surround it.

Li Xue had guessed that there was a small chance that the Empire would attack the seal again. He did not expect that she had guessed correctly!

Furthermore, the archbishop of the Holy Court had personally come!

But what should he do now?

Ed knew that they definitely wouldn't be able to defeat the Holy Court.

The Mage Association had agreed to cooperate with Tang Mingyue, but it was obvious that they would not easily fight the people of the Holy Court to death.

The commotion was already so big, and the people who came from the Mage Association were all small fries. Not even the vice president of the Mage Association showed up. It was obvious that this was intentional.

The other feudal lords were also watching from the side.

Lord Brent was a little hesitant about whether he should speak up for Lord Fang Heng and strive to build a mage tower in his territory as soon as possible, so he asked softly, "Chepo, can you stop them?"

Sword saint Chepo stared at the archbishop of the Holy Court and shook his head, "If he wants to leave, we can't stop him."

Lord Brent frowned and continued to stand at the side to watch.

He wanted to help Fang Heng and gain some favorability from Fang Heng so that his territory could have a mage tower built ahead of time.

But he had his concerns.

The believers of the Holy Court in the territory were very troublesome.

Moreover, according to Archbishop Karkkila, they were only investigating the leakage of the plague aura. The guards at the entrance of the mine had only been knocked out and were not even injured. It was not enough to forcefully go up and detain the Holy Court.

"Everyone, we've found out that the seal in the mine has been broken. We suspect that someone did it on purpose. Now that things have come to this, the Holy Court hopes that everyone can recognize the truth. Soon, the plague aura will leak out again, and Fang Heng's true identity will be revealed."

Karkkila shook his head and knocked the scepter on the ground again.

"Buzz…"

The Holy Light barrier opened up again, dispersing the surrounding ghost fog.

"Now, I'm leaving."

Karkkila said as he led the group of people from the Holy Court toward the city gate.

The players blocking the path ahead suddenly realized that the barrier formed by the Holy Light had forcefully pushed them aside. They were unable to continue blocking the Holy Court's retreat.

Ed was anxious.

They had caught Tang Wu's mistake, but the Holy Court had an extraordinary status on the continent.

They really couldn't stop them with their strength.

Where was Lord Fang Heng? Why was there no news from his side?

1285 Exploded

No, he could not rely on Lord Fang Heng for everything. He had to think of a way to stall for time first. Li Xue's team would definitely think of a way offline.

This was a great opportunity. No matter what, he had to bite off a piece of meat from the Holy Court!

Not far away, Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei hid in the dark and observed carefully.

"What should we do?" Mo Jiawei asked softly, feeling rather helpless.

He had just used his talent skill investigation techniques to scan Karkkila. Other than his name, a simple background introduction, and the names of a few skills that seemed very powerful, there were many question marks.

Archbishop Karkkila's level was much higher than his.

"There's too much of a difference in levels. I can't find any weaknesses with my scouting talent. Ed and the others brought quite a lot of people, but they're not very useful. We can't stop the Holy Court if they really want to leave."

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at the entrance of the mine and asked, "There are no signs of the plague aura leaking out. What are the people of the Holy Court doing inside? Could it be that they went in to take a look at the seal?"

Mo Jiawei pursed his lips and said with disdain, "I don't think so. The people from the Holy Court aren't good. They're not that kind-hearted."

"That makes sense. Let's go in and take a look."

"Yes."

Taking advantage of the fact that most people's attention was focused on the Holy Court's group, Fang Heng and the other two sneaked into the mine at the back.

Following the tunnel dug by the zombies, Fang Heng returned to the deepest part of the sealed land. He squatted down to check the central seal.

Mo Jiawei stood at the side and waited.

Two minutes passed.

Mo Jiawei couldn't help but ask, "How is it?"

"The seal has been touched."

Mo Jiawei swallowed his saliva carefully and asked, "And then?"

"No more."

"Huh?"

"My sealing skill level is not high. I can only determine that the seal has been touched by the people of the Holy Court. I don't know what they did inside."

Mo Jiawei stroked his chin and continued doubtfully, "The people of the Holy Court shouldn't have such a high level of thought. They didn't come here in the middle of the night in such a secretive manner just to strengthen the seal, right?"

Fang Heng nodded in agreement, "I agree."

Mo Jiawei was stumped. He hesitated and said, "But we can't find any evidence of the Holy Court's wrongdoings. We don't have enough reason to convince the people outside to deal with the Holy Court. It's too easy for them to just go off like that."

"Let them go? That might not be the case…"

Fang Heng squatted down and touched the yellow seal.

"Chi…"

With a soft sound, the tattered seal was easily torn off by Fang Heng.

Mo Jiawei was shocked by Fang Heng's actions and looked up at him.

"Ah, you…"

Fang Heng shrugged.

"I didn't do it on purpose. My hand slipped."

"Boss, are you kidding me?"

"Hurry up and run! Remember not to let anyone see you!"

Fang Heng quickly reached out as he spoke and tore off the remaining sealing rune from the alchemy magic array.

"Chi chi chi!!!"

In the next second, a black plague aura visible to the naked eye seeped out from the broken seal!

"Let's go!"

The two of them quickly rushed toward the entrance of the cave.

Outside the cave, Zhuo Lingfang brought two players and rushed to the mine. They had just received orders from Li Xue's team to come and check on the seal in the depths of the mine.

Unexpectedly, before they could enter the mine, the team bumped into Fang Heng and Mo Jiawei who were walking out of the cave.

Zhuo Lingfang could not see Fang Heng's face clearly at first, so she subconsciously shouted,

"You are…"

Fang Heng suddenly disappeared from where he was and teleported to Zhuo Lingfang's side, reaching out to cover her mouth.

"Shh!"

It was Fang Heng!

Zhuo Lingfang did not expect Fang Heng to appear in the mine. She hurriedly waved her hand to indicate that she would not shout.

Fang Heng slowly let go of his hand and said, "Listen to me. There's a small matter that I need your help with. Next, I'll have to test your acting skills…"

"Wait, do as I say, remember?"

Zhuo Lingfang listened to Fang Heng's plan and her eyes flashed with surprise. She did not dare to speak loudly and only nodded repeatedly to show that she understood.

…

Not far away from the mine, Karkkila led the Holy Court's group out of the city.

Everyone followed the Holy Court and formed a circle, but no one dared to stop them.

Seeing that Karkkila was about to leave the mine area, Ed was anxious.

Li Xue's team's evaluation report had already been sent out. If they fought, some of the feudal lords' entourage and the Empire's mages might join in the battle to help. However, Fang Heng was not around, so the chances of stopping the Holy Court's team were almost zero!

A skinny camel was still bigger than a horse. The Holy Court was a type of faith inheritance, and there were still many loyal followers on the continent.

Many feudal lords did not like the Holy Court, but they had their considerations and were not willing to fall out with them.

What should he do?

It was not easy to catch a flaw in the enemy.

Just let them escape?

Ed was extremely unwilling.

Suddenly, Ed's eyelids twitched as he looked behind him.

What was that?

A thick black fog surged from the mine entrance behind them!

"Not good! It's the plague aura!"

Seeing this, someone immediately shouted.

Everyone looked behind them, and their expressions changed drastically.

Black plague aura that was visible to the naked eye spewed out from the entrance of the mine!

The abyssal demon?

Ed's heart skipped a beat.

The seal was broken again?

Oh no!

Ed turned around and stared at the Holy Court group.

"You dare to release the abyssal demon?!"

The people from the Holy Court were also surprised to see the sudden appearance of the plague aura. They could not help but look at Karkkila.

What was going on? Didn't he say that the effects of the seal-breaking sword would be triggered slowly and that the plague aura wouldn't erupt in a short time?

Why did it suddenly explode?

Karkkila's expression also changed.

What? No way! It didn't make sense!

Why did the plague aura suddenly erupt?

The eyes and expressions of the people from the Holy Court were seen by everyone present. Everyone had the same thought at the same time.

Karkkila! He was the crux of the problem!

The seven ghost towers gathered around the entrance of the mine activated at the same time, releasing a dim purple light. The plague aura that overflowed from the mine was quickly dissolved by the purple light.

Karkkila felt the change in everyone's expressions, and his heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt as if he had been set up. He immediately whispered to his companions, "Ignore them. Let's go. Let's leave quickly."

"Stop!"

A high-tier mage walked out of the crowd.

Dunant's face was ashen, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He was extremely angry. Everyone's eyes were focused on Dunant.

Ed's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect that the first one to stand out and stop the Holy Court would be a high-tier mage.

"The archbishop is in such a hurry to leave? Aren't you going to explain this to us?"

Dunant stared at Karkkila.

He was originally an ordinary high-tier mage who cultivated the study of necromancy, and he was one of the few necromancers on the continent.

1286 Interception

All this while, necromancy had been suppressed by the Holy Court, making it difficult to develop. It was hard to find a book on the study of necromancy.

Dunant had thought of giving up on necromancy several times. He felt that his future was bleak, but he did not expect that one day, Fang Heng would come, and he even built the ghost tower!

In just a few days, necromancy had become a trend!

Dunant felt like he was dreaming these past few days.

He felt like he was being embraced by death again, and he felt like he was about to turn over a new leaf.

But now, the people from the Holy Court were here again! The Holy Court had destroyed the holy land of necromancy that they had built with great difficulty!

Dunant glared at Karkkila fiercely, wanting to fight him to the death.

Karkkila's expression was solemn, and his heart was a little chaotic. He did not know what was going on.

The seal-breaking sword was clearly a special tool that he had specially utilized to slowly break the seal. In theory, the seal would only slowly react at least a day after he left.

At that time, he would also cooperate with the royal guards' plan to attack the Land of Plague and catch Fang Heng off guard!

Why did it suddenly explode?

Karkkila put away the doubts in his heart and looked at Dunant, asking, "What do you want me to explain?"

Dunant was provoked by Karkkila's arrogance.

"Hahahahaha, you're still asking me? I've always found it strange. The plague aura has been dormant and things have been peaceful for hundreds of years, but the moment the Holy Court arrived, the plague aura was leaked. You went to the capital of the Empire, and the plague aura broke out in the entire capital. Now, with the help of Lord Fang Heng, the plague aura was finally controlled. In less than ten minutes after you arrived, the plague aura broke out again. I'm already puzzled. Why is the plague aura breaking out wherever you go?"

Karkkila's expression turned cold.

"I don't know. The outbreak of the plague aura has nothing to do with me."

"Heh, nothing to do with you? Do you think that you can end it with just a simple sentence? Today, you must stay and explain clearly!"

When Ed saw that someone was taking the lead in stirring up trouble, he immediately gave his players a look.

"Don't let them escape! They were the ones who broke the seal. I saw it! It's them!"

"Trash! The Holy Court has been suppressing our necromancy. They know that we're building a holy land here, so they have come to destroy it!"

More and more members of the Mage Association were stirred up and gathered around the Holy Court group.

On the side, the sword saint of the Empire, Chepo, frowned. He was disdainful of the Holy Court's actions and could not help but whisper, "The Holy Court is a little dirty."

Lord Brent looked suspicious and frowned, "Something's not right. There's something suspicious about this."

"Suspicious?"

Lord Brent analyzed, "If I were the Holy Court, why didn't I run away when I was discovered? Why are they still staying here and taking their turn, and waiting for the plague aura to break out? It's strange."

Chepo glanced at the entrance of the cave and said, "Maybe they misjudged the strength of the plague aura."

Lord Brent also turned his head to look at the entrance. He said, "There's also a…"

Before he could finish his sentence, there was an explosion!

"Boom!!!"

At the entrance of the mine, a golden Holy Light aura exploded, dispersing the surrounding ghost fog!

In the area covered by the black plague aura and ghost fog, the golden Holy Light that exploded was especially eye-catching!

What was going on?

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the explosion.

"Boom! Boom Boom!!"

Due to the influence of the plague aura and the ghost fog, the surrounding was shrouded in a layer of fog and making it hard to see clearly. However, everyone could still see the golden Holy Light exploding one after another!

Immediately after, a player appeared from the ghost fog in the distance and ran over. He shouted, "It's the Holy Court! People from the Holy Court! They want to destroy the entire seal!"

All of a sudden, everyone became nervous. They raised their weapons and stared at Karkkila's group with rapt attention.

"Karkkila! What else do you have to say!"

On the continent, the sacred study was very special. It had a relatively special attribute that ordinary people could not imitate at all. Even the sacred scroll could only be triggered through the sacred study. The alchemy genius Sydney's pupil of alchemy could not recognize the sacred study.

Only the Holy Court could control it!

Other than the Holy Court, who else could cause the eruption of the Holy Light attribute?

Even the companions of the Holy Court who had come with Karkkila were suspicious. They all looked at Karkira with a hint of doubt in their eyes.

It was one thing for the plague aura to have just erupted, but why was there a Holy Light attribute explosion now?

Could it be that Karkkila had some other trump card that even they were unaware of?

Karkkila felt the gazes of his companions, and his expression instantly became extremely stiff.

Eruption of the Holy Light aura?

What was going on?

He did not know either!

How should he explain to them?

Dunant saw that everyone from the Holy Court had different expressions and did not say a word. He felt that they were guilty and that there was something wrong with them. He shouted, "Don't even think about leaving! Today, you must stay behind and explain clearly!"

Cold sweat broke out on Ed's forehead.

He didn't know what had happened in the mine, but he was even more panicked now.

The Holy Light aura that erupted was extraordinary.

Could it be that the people of the Holy Court had really gone crazy and released the abyssal demon to fight them to the death?

What about the final mission? What about the inheritance of the Saints?

"Make them pay the price!"

The crowd was furious. More and more people crowded up and shouted, but no one dared to be the first to attack.

Just as they were in a stalemate, Zhuo Lingfang rushed over with a few injured players and royal guards. She shouted, "My Lord, we went to investigate after we discovered the spread of the plague aura. We found suspicious people at the entrance and tried to stop them, but we were injured."

Suddenly, everyone looked at Lord Chadwick in the crowd.

Chadwick had a headache. He was just a small lord, how could he encounter so many things in his territory?

When Ed saw Zhuo Lingfang, his heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the Holy Light earlier was set up by Li Xue?

Ed's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "Who are the suspicious people?"

"It's the people of the Holy Court!" Zhuo Lingfang pointed at Karkkila and the others and said sternly, "It's them. They used the power of the sacred study. I'm definitely not wrong!"

"You're lying!"

Karkkila turned his head abruptly, and his scepter tapped lightly on the ground once again, staring fixedly at Zhuo Lingfang.

"Buzz…"

The golden light spread out once again!

In the next moment, under the influence of the golden light, Zhuo Lingfang's vision gradually blurred. Suddenly, a strong sense of guilt rose from the bottom of her heart.

She felt that she had done something wrong and had the urge to kneel down and repent immediately. She wanted to tell the truth.

"Plop!"

Zhuo Lingfang could no longer suppress the guilt in her heart. Her legs went soft, and she knelt on both knees, opening her mouth to say something.

1287 Repentance

In the crowd not far away, Mo Jiawei frowned and whispered, "Boss, this is bad. It's the great repentance spell and it has partial spirit control effects."

"The Holy Court has quite a few tricks up their sleeves."

Fang Heng licked his dry lips as he spoke. He took out a scroll from his backpack and aimed it at Zhuo Lingfang.

Fortunately, Tang Mingyue had given him a lot of magic scrolls before he came, and most of them were sacred scrolls.

After all, the holy elemental scrolls could only be triggered through sacred studies, and their popularity was very low.

Holy word!

"Boom!!"

Zhuo Lingfang, who was half-kneeling on the ground, was about to say something when a golden Holy Light suddenly exploded in front of her, sending her flying back while spitting out blood.

Ed was stunned for a moment and looked up at Karkkila.

The people of the Holy Court were crazy. Did they dare to attack in front of so many people?

Ed saw a moment of confusion on Karkkila's face, followed by incomparable fury.

No!

Ed instantly understood.

He understood!

This attack was not done by Karkkila!

Someone was behind this!

That person was most likely Li Xue!

Ed's brain worked quickly and he immediately shouted, "Not good! They want to murder her! Stop him!"

Karkkila turned to look at Ed, his eyes almost spitting blood.

Murder?

Have you ever seen such a murderer before?

The other players also came back to their senses. They did not give Karkkila a chance to catch his breath and shouted, "Murdering her in front of so many of us, do they think that our Mage Association is so easily bullied?!"

Under the signal of the team, one of the players sent an icicle spell toward the Holy Court's group.

"Pfft."

It was ineffective!

The low-level icicle spell was easily blocked by the Holy Light shield that enveloped the Holy Court's group, and the defensive barrier did not even have a ripple.

However, this move had sounded the horn of attack!

With someone taking the lead, more and more low-level spells were thrown at the group from the Holy Court.

The Holy Light barrier absorbed a large number of spell attacks, and ripples gradually appeared on it.

"Stop! Leave it to me!"

Seeing that things were about to get out of control, Lord Chadwick's face turned green. He shouted for everyone to calm down and stop attacking.

He indeed didn't want to get into a deadlock with the Holy Court.

Moreover, the other party was an archbishop of the Holy Court. He was so powerful that even the Empire had to show some respect to him. Even if all of Lincoln City's forces were mobilized, they wouldn't be able to defeat him.

However, the Holy Court was too much of a bully. Did they think that he, a feudal lord, could be taken advantage of?

Since things had come to this, he had to fight even if he could not win. Otherwise, he would become the topic of conversation for the other feudal lords.

From another perspective, he still had Tang Mingyue and Lord Fang Heng as his backing.

So be it!

Chadwick made up his mind and looked at Karkkila. He said, "To aid in the investigation of this matter, please stay in the city!"

Karkkila looked over, his face was cold.

"You want me to stay here? You?"

Karkkila could finally tell that this group of people was plotting against him. They wanted to keep him here!

Chadwick, who pledged his loyalty to Tang Mingyue, was obviously not a good person.

"Then try it!"

The Empire's guards and mage apprentices, who had been provoked to the extreme, felt that the Holy Court had gone too far.

"Boom! Boom Boom!!"

Without waiting for Chadwick's order, a large number of spells once again smashed toward Karkkila's shield.

Unfortunately, most of the attacks came from low-level mages' small spells, and they would disappear as soon as they came into contact with the Holy Light barrier.

Many of the feudal lords who had come along also joined the battle.

The Holy Court's side lacked flying skills, so it would be a little troublesome for them to retreat quickly. Hence, they decided to stay where they were.

Karkkila nodded at a few of them, and the two judges began to cast holy teleportation, so as to teleport several people to a distance through teleportation spells.

"Not good, they want to escape!"

"Stop their spellcasting! Don't let them escape!"

Seeing the Holy Court's actions, several players shouted.

Everyone from the Mage Association hastened their spell-casting speed to bombard the Holy Court's group.

However, the fine spells landed on the Holy Light barrier like droplets in the sea, unable to cause any substantial damage.

Mo Jiawei watched anxiously from afar and whispered, "Fang Heng, what should we do? This group of people can't stop them."

"Yes."

Fang Heng hummed in acknowledgment, but his eyes were fixed on the golden scepter in Karkkila's hand.

It was a very familiar scepter.

He had seen it once when he sealed the original devouring body in the underground palace. There was no doubt that this scepter possessed great power. Moreover, it was very likely that it could deal with the abyssal demon.

Fang Heng measured the combat strength of both sides. It was almost impossible to kill the archbishop in his current state.

He had to take advantage of the other party's weakness to use the power of the vampires and the ultimate move, the Everlasting Moon, to kill him.

Since he couldn't win, he would settle for the next best thing.

He could think of a way to snatch that scepter. If he succeeded…

Greed flashed in Fang Heng's eyes and an action plan of greed quickly formed in Fang Heng's mind.

The plan was very shallow, and there would most likely be hiccups.

However, time was tight and Fang Heng could not think about it any further.

"Old Mo, I'll think of a way to seize that scepter in the chaos. I'll retreat immediately after that. You think of a way to meet up with Ed and the others and tell them my intentions. Don't worry about me."

"Yes, alright."

Mo Jiawei responded and quickly hid behind the crowd.

Not far away, Lord Brent, who was watching from afar, saw that the Mage Association had already made their move. He could not help but whisper, "Now that the Holy Court has invaded our territory, we can't even stop them. If this gets out, we'll be laughed at. Let's help them and teach the Holy Court a lesson."

"Yes."

Chepo nodded, understanding what Lord Brent meant.

Swoosh!!

A few seconds later, a cold light flashed from the crowd.

"Crack!!!"

The long sword gently landed on the Holy Light barrier, emitting a clear sword hum.

Karkkila's expression changed slightly as he stared at the person who had just arrived.

The Empire's sword saint Chepo.

"Kakaka!!!"

With the tip of the sword as a point, fine cracks spread rapidly in all directions!

Boom!!

The golden barrier exploded with a loud bang, turning into golden fragments that flew in all directions!

Chepo immediately retreated into the distance.

Damn it!

Karkkila looked at the shadow that was quickly leaving.

He could no longer care about him.

The Holy Light shield shattered, and numerous small spells were launched at the Holy Court's group.

A dark look flashed across Karkkila's eyes.

"Archbishop!"

Mary Fiel shouted anxiously.

The holy teleportation spell required a period to prepare and cast continuously. Once it was interrupted, it would take more time to re-condense.

"Leave it to me."

Domain spell, the holy word-Judgement!

Karkkila slammed the scepter in his hand on the ground and cast another spell.

A dark golden light quickly enveloped the surroundings!

1288 Delaying

The spatial domain that was filled with golden light seemed to freeze, and a large number of spells that was attacking Karkkila stopped in mid-air.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

This move…

It seemed to be quite powerful!

"Boom!!!"

Time froze for half a second before the spell and golden light exploded at the same time!

All the Empire guards within the judgment domain were blown away by the exploding Holy Light.

Seeing that the Holy Court still dared to resist, the surrounding people became even angrier.

More and more feudal lords' teams and members of the Mage Association joined the battlefield.

Karkkila's counterattack bought him quite some time. The golden teleportation spell incantation that the two Holy Court judges had condensed gradually became clearer under his feet.

The teleportation magic array was about to be completed.

Zhuo Lingfang gulped down a few bottles of potions to recover. She quickly ran to Ed's side and whispered, "Captain Ed, Lord Fang Heng told us to stall for time. He'll think of a way to cooperate with us and seize the scepter from Karkkila. He also told me to ask Lord Brent for help."

Ed was pleasantly surprised when he heard that. He looked around and asked, "You mean Lord Fang Heng? He's here too?"

"Yes, Lord Fang Heng is still hiding in the dark for the time being."

Ed gave up on the search and looked at Karkkila.

The scepter in the archbishop's hand?

What was Lord Fang Heng doing?

"Tell the offline teams to think of a way to stall for more time. Lord Fang Heng is already preparing to make his move."

"Understood!"

The players nearby immediately reported the analysis of Li Xue's team to everyone.

"President, the two judges of the Holy Court are currently casting a special skill, the holy teleportation. Upon successful casting, they can teleport up to 10 people within the range of the spell to an area 10 kilometers away. The casting time is eight minutes. With two judges casting the skill at the same time, the casting time is expected to be shortened to four to six minutes."

"Not good! Quickly interrupt their spellcasting!"

Ed immediately came to his senses.

The Holy Court wanted to escape!

"Quickly use the magic torrent to conjure the mana resonance!"

To counter the long casting time of the spatial spell, the player team could use mana resonance to affect the surrounding spatial fluctuations, delaying or even destroying the enemy's spatial spell formation!

More than a dozen elite players cast spells at the same time, condensing a rapidly spinning magic torrent on the spot!

The dark green magic torrent looked like a ball that was spinning rapidly, and the surrounding space was distorted by the torrent.

On the other side, the two judges who were controlling spells frowned.

Under the influence of mana resonance, their spellcasting speed was greatly reduced.

The magic array that had gathered under his feet slowly dimmed.

Karkkila's sharp gaze swept over Ed and the others, apparently having noticed their little tricks.

"You all…"

As soon as he said that, Karkkila suddenly felt a slight vibration under his feet.

What was that?

At the same time, Karkkila felt a strange energy wave explode from the direction of the mine and immediately turned around.

"Boom!!!"

In the distance, a blood-red pillar of light shot into the sky and lifeblood instantly pierced through the ghost fog that enveloped the surroundings!

Immediately after, a blood-red aura fluctuation spread out from the pillar of light!

The thick ghost fog spread again, neutralizing the lifeblood impact that had been triggered, and quickly forming a red fog in front of everyone.

Everyone's vision was blocked by the red fog.

With a glance, everyone felt as if they had vaguely seen a blood-red coffin in the deepest part of the fog.

"Ka, ka…Kaka."

A dry sound like an old wooden door being opened came from the depths of the dark red ghost fog.

Whoosh! Swoosh!

What was that?

Karkkila's expression changed.

The three Princes of the vampires dashed out of the fog almost at the same time.

"Boom! Boom Boom Boom!!!"

A dense number of bloody bombs boomed toward the Holy Court.

"Be careful!"

Everyone from the Holy Court immediately activated their Holy Light shields and scattered in all directions to dodge.

Karkkila also quickly dodged to the side. He looked at the creatures that jumped out of the ghost fog, and his eyes revealed an extremely shocked expression.

Vampires?

They were actually vampires!

He had read about the vampires in the Book of Oaths.

They were filth created by the divine realm.

A creature that shouldn't exist in this world!

Why did the vampires appear?

Was it also a product of a natural disaster?

Was it related to the abyssal demon?

Countless thoughts appeared in Karkkila's mind, and the shock in his heart could not be any greater.

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The three Princes of the vampires joined forces and charged at Karkkila. The other Dukes of the vampires who had emerged from the ghost fog charged at the Holy Paladins and Holy Court judges who were following them.

The surrounding mages who were originally going to deal with the Holy Court were also shocked.

Who was this group of people who suddenly appeared? And why were they so powerful?

Lord Chadwick could not help but look at Lord Brent.

Both parties looked at each other with confusion on their faces.

That was strange.

Who was this group of people who suddenly appeared?

Sword saint Chepo quickly retreated and stood behind Lord Brent. He said in a deep voice, "Brent, these people are not weak, and their auras are very strange. I've never seen them before."

Chadwick could not help but narrow his eyes and size up the group of vampires.

A team that he had never heard of before.

"Could it be Lord Fang Heng's trump card?"

Lord Brent was stunned. He suddenly felt that Chadwick's speculation was very likely.

Just as he was about to watch from the sidelines, Zhuo Lingfang hurriedly ran over again and cupped her fists. She said, "My Lord, Lord Fang Heng asked me to pass a message to Lord Brent. He hopes that you can help him deal with the Holy Court for three minutes. Regardless of whether you succeed or not, Lord Fang Heng is willing to build ten ghost towers for free as compensation. You can choose the location of the construction and start work tonight."

Chadwick was stunned and immediately asked, "These people are Lord Fang Heng's subordinates?"

Zhuo Lingfang opened her mouth and glanced at the vampires who were fighting fiercely with the Holy Court.

"I'm not too sure either." Zhuo Lingfang continued to ask, "Lord Brent, do you think this proposal is acceptable?"

Lord Brent stood at the side, his eyes turning red when he heard this.

What was he doing here at night? Wasn't it to get Fang Heng's help to build the ghost tower in his territory as soon as possible?

Today's trip was not in vain!

As for who sent these people, was it important?

It was not important!

The smile on Lord Brent's face could no longer be hidden. He even felt Lord Chadwick's jealous gaze.

"Yes! I agree!"

Lord Brent agreed and looked at Chepo.

"Let's do it, Chepo. Three minutes. Just do your best."

"Yes."

Chepo nodded in agreement, and once again dashed toward the archbishop of the Holy Court who was surrounded by three Princes of the vampires.

1289 Snatched

If the ordinary members of the Necromancer Association and the Empire's feudal lords were just a little confused, then the players who were anxiously waiting on the side were completely stunned.

Each of them opened their mouth wide enough to stuff a few eggs in.

If the native game natives couldn't recognize it, how could they not?

Vampires?

This group of people was clearly vampires!

But why?

Why would the vampires intrude?

One of the players who had been in the elementary game could immediately recognize Carl, the Prince of the vampires!

"Carll! It's him! Carl, the Prince of the vampires!"

"That's the Prince of the vampires, Loeb!"

More than 99% of the players had experienced the elementary game world, and a large portion of them had been in the Vampire Apocalypse.

The players quickly recognized the three Prince of the vampires, as well as most of the Dukes and Marquises.

The leaders of the large guilds were instantly confused.

Why did the final BOSS of the elementary game world suddenly enter an advanced game?

What did this mean?

Ed was also stunned for a moment.

"Captain Ed, this…"

"I know!"

After the initial shock, Ed thought for a moment and came up with an answer. He immediately said, "It must be Lord Fang Heng! The Federation behind Lord Fang Heng has made a move. It seems that the Federation has broken through the barrier between the elementary and intermediate game games."

Hearing this, everyone revealed a look of surprise and then came to a realization.

So that was the case.

It was the Federation.

It was no wonder he could cause such a huge commotion in the virtual world.

That's right!

Ed instructed his subordinates in a deep voice, "You can't leak anything related to the vampires that you saw today. This is the Federation's top secret. Do you all understand?"

"Yes! Understood! We guarantee that we won't leak a single word!"

The other guild leader told his subordinates the same thing and asked, "Ed, what should we do? Do you want to go up and help now?"

Ed stared at the battlefield and said, "There's no need. This kind of battle is not something we can participate in. Just continue to control the magic torrent and prevent the Holy Court from teleporting away."

"Roger!"

…

In the depths of the ghost fog and at the place where the blood-red pillar of light rose, Fang Heng stood under the pillar of light and focused on controlling the coffin of the Vampire King.

Seeing that it was about time, he quickly rushed forward.

His goal was clear.

The scepter in Karkkila's hand!

He had been observing him all along.

The scepter was extremely heavy, and it took some effort for Karkkila to use it. As a result, his movement speed was abnormally slow when he held the scepter!

This heaviness even affected Karkkila's battle skills!

This was definitely a chance!

The distance between Fang Heng and Karkkila was rapidly shrinking.

In front of him, the three Princes of the vampires surrounded the turtle shell that Karkkila had cast and attacked it continuously.

"Boom!!!"

The sword saint Chepo's figure flashed by.

Another sword thrust forward.

The ice-cold sword seemed ordinary, but it caused the entire Holy Light barrier to shake violently!

Karkkila frowned.

It was him again! The Empire sword saint!

"Bang!!!"

The Holy Light barrier exploded once again!

The shattered fragments of the Holy Light barrier shot forward!

Huh?!

A hint of surprise flashed across Karkkila's eyes.

Sword saint Chepo knew how powerful the Holy Light fragments were. He retreated quickly after a single attack, but the three Princes of the vampires continued to charge at Karkkila at the expense of serious injuries!

This was a problem!

Karkkila realized that something was wrong and immediately made the best choice. He quickly took two steps back and stood his scepter two steps in front of him. He put his hands together again and prepared to release the sacred domain skill.

What?

Just as the skill was about to be released, he suddenly saw a figure flying towards him from his right.

It was actually Fang Heng!

Karkkila's pupils constricted.

Fang Heng's figure quickly closed in using his teleportation skill! He didn't charge at him directly, but instead, he flashed past him and reached out to snatch the scepter that was stuck in the ground.

He was courting death!

Karkkila stared at Fang Heng and sneered in his heart!

Was the holy scepter something that normal people could touch?

Not to mention, he was someone who had mastered the study of necromancy!

"Chi Chi Chi!!"

Fang Heng gripped the holy scepter tightly!

His right hand immediately emitted white steam!

Karkkila had a mocking expression on his face. He had already expected Fang Heng to be sent flying by the holy power.

Eh?

What was going on?

The mockery on Karkkila's face gradually froze, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

The color-changing smoke stopped after half a second!

Fang Heng was still holding the scepter tightly, and the game prompt appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has switched to the current status-sacred study.]

So heavy!

As soon as the scepter was in his hand, Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. The scepter was much heavier than he had expected!

No wonder the archbishop of the Holy Court looked so exhausted when he used the scepter!

However, his strength attribute far exceeded that of a normal player. Fang Heng's arm exerted force and lifted the scepter from the ground.

[Hint: You are attempting to snatch a special weapon that does not belong to you. The person who has been snatched will sense and lock onto the exact location of you and the weapon that has been snatched within 5 hours. The person will lock onto your approximate location within 72 hours.]

[Hint: You will not be able to use the various skills and attributes attached to the weapon for 12 hours (some special attributes and skills will still take effect), but you can still use it as a normal weapon to attack.]

[Hint: As you have stolen a special person's weapon, the weapon cannot be stored in your backpack and cannot be transported through the teleportation channel for 72 hours.]

[Hint: You have been affected by the special effect of this weapon. While holding this weapon, your movement speed will be reduced by 30%.]

Eh? His location would be detected and locked on, and there was an additional speed reduction?

Two pieces of bad news!

This was not the first time Fang Heng had stolen an item from a high-level BOSS. When he saw the game notification, his heart skipped a beat. He immediately changed his plan and flew into the distance.

"Stop!"

Fang Heng's actions greatly exceeded Karkkila's expectations!

He was shocked.

The holy scepter had been seized by Fang Heng?

Why?

How could a necromancer easily touch the holy scepter without suffering any backlash?

Moreover, the scepter was extremely heavy. Even he needed the support of holy skills to barely lift it!

To not be affected too much when holding the scepter, Karkkila had left a permanent stigmata brand on his right arm!

Why was Fang Heng able to pick up the scepter so easily?

Now was not the time to think about this. The scepter was of great significance and possessed great power.

He definitely couldn't let it fall into the hands of a necromancer!

The surprise in Karkkila's eyes was immediately replaced by anger as he shouted.

"Explode!"

Boom!!!

The holy barrier that had just been condensed around them exploded again, forcing the surrounding Princes of the vampires to retreat!

1290 Temporary Plan

Chepo had already dodged far away. He looked at Karkkila, then turned back to look at the direction Fang Heng ran off to, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

The attacker was Lord Fang Heng.

He had been wondering how Lord Fang Heng was going to deal with Karkkila, but he never expected him to snatch the scepter from his enemy.

"Good!!!"

"Lord Fang Heng, well done!"

When the players saw Fang Heng snatching the Holy Court's weapon, they immediately shouted excitedly to cheer for him.

They could no longer interfere in a battle of this intensity, so they could only cast some spells to harass the opponent and boost their own momentum.

"Don't let the people of the Holy Court escape! They are already at the end of their rope!"

Ed saw that Fang Heng's attack was effective and was extremely excited.

Lord Fang Heng!

He did it again! He had dealt a fatal blow to the Holy Court at a critical moment!

Not far away, Karkkila had already lost his cool due to anger. He wanted to chase after them, but the three Princes of the vampires, who had been knocked back, once again stuck close to him!

Damn it!

There were even necromancy mages! They were so persistent and were constantly using spells to bring trouble to him!

The effects of the basic spells were extremely limited, but the continuous rain of spells annoyed him.

"Help me stop them!"

Karkkila gritted his teeth and shouted. Starry spots of Holy Light condensed around his body.

Previously, he had not killed anyone for the sake of the Holy Court's reputation. However, he could not care less now.

The pendant hanging on his chest emitted a dark golden light!

Star·God's punishment domain!

Kakaka…

All the spells that were attacking Karkkila in the air paused at the same time!

Even the three Princes of the vampires who were charging at him slowed down.

Carl's eyes turned serious.

Domain power?

"Boom! Boom!!!"

The spell in the air exploded!

Following that, specks of Holy Light erupted once again!

Every single starburst out with a scorching light!

A powerful Holy Light pushed the three Princes of the vampires back once again!

The faces of the mages of the Mage Association who were casting spells turned pale. They were all hit by the backlash of the spell attack, and they spat out a mouthful of blood as they flew backward!

"Holy Court!"

A few high-tier mages from the Mage Association who had not made a move all this while were enraged when they saw the casualties in their team.

Karkkila couldn't care less about that now.

If he accidentally lost the holy scepter, he would be the sinner of the entire Holy Court!

Taking advantage of the opening in the crowd, Karkkila chased in the direction of the holy scepter!

The remaining two judges and Holy Paladins immediately stepped forward and stopped the vampires and humans who were chasing after Karkkila.

On the other side, Fang Heng was sprinting forward after snatching the holy scepter.

Escape?

No, just escaping was definitely not enough.

Fang Heng was not just after the scepter.

He was also after Karkkila!

His original plan was to take the scepter and hide in the Land of Plague through the teleportation passage, relying on the sacred tree to stop Karkkila.

In an ideal situation, the scepter would be extremely important to Karkkila. The other party could rush to the Land of Plague to send himself to death.

He might even be able to use the power of the sacred tree to kill Karkkila! It was a huge profit!

However, the stolen weapons could not pass through the teleportation passage, so this method would not work.

Karkkila was not far from going crazy, but the Land of Plague was far away. With the 30% speed reduction debuff from the scepter, Karkkila would definitely be able to catch up to him quickly.

Therefore, he had to change his plan.

In the face of danger, Fang Heng was exceptionally calm, dashing toward the direction of the mine.

That's right!

The iron mine!

As more than half of the seals in the iron mine cave were broken, the entire mine cave was filled with a large amount of plague aura.

He had a special virus body that could slightly resist the corrosion of the plague aura.

But Karkkila didn't.

It was very likely that Karkkila would chase after him.

This was his chance!

If everything went smoothly, he could even kill Karkkila in the mine!

The success rate was less than 30%.

Riches are sought in danger!

He would take a gamble!

He quickly flashed into the mine, and the game prompt appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player entered a special area. The player's infection index has increased.]

[Hint: The player has a special virus detected. The player's infection has been greatly reduced.]

Fang Heng stood in the tunnel and quickly glanced outside. He saw that Karkkila was still being pestered by the vampires and could not help but narrow his eyes.

"There is still some time. I can make some arrangements…"

At the same time, outside the mine, once the skill's duration was up, the vampires who were originally chasing after Karkkila also retreated into the coffin of the Vampire King, sinking into the ground along with the coffin.

Chepo glanced at the retreating figure of Karkkila who was entering the depths of the mine and shook his head.

Three minutes had passed. He had completed his mission, so he retreated.

Lord Brent asked, "How's the situation?"

Chepo shook his head and said, "No! Karkkila is very strong. I can't do anything to him."

"The Holy Court has been passed down for so many years, but it can persist until now under the suppression of the Empire. It's obvious how strong it is. If we talk about it, no one in the entire Empire is confident that they can stop him in a one-on-one battle."

Lord Brent consoled her and looked at Zhuo Lingfang, saying, "The agreement has been reached. Mr. Fang Heng won't go back on his word, right?"

"Definitely. Lord Fang Heng will build a mage tower for you as soon as possible as promised."

Zhuo Lingxin was concerned about the situation on Fang Heng's side and answered casually. Her gaze anxiously swept across the place where Fang Heng had disappeared.

On the main battlefield, as Karkkila chased after Fang Heng, the Mage Association and the royal guards gradually took control of the situation, surrounding the remaining two Holy Court judges and the Holy Paladins.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Ed also brought his team player to surround and check on the situation.

"How is Lord Fang Heng?"

Everyone was silent.

Sword saint Chepo said, "He entered the mine."

Ed asked, "Mine? Why do we have to enter the mine? Isn't it a dead end in the depths of the mine?"

Chepo shook his head and said, "I don't know. I can't see through him."

Fang Heng's aura wasn't as strong and dazzling as Karkkila's, but every time Chepo saw him, he would be surprised.

Ed frowned. He wanted to follow the mine to see what was going on, but the area in front of him was enveloped by a large amount of plague aura. Before he could get close, he received a game notification that the infection level had increased greatly.

Several Empire soldiers and mages teamed up to explore the area further before they immediately retreated and reported, "My Lord, the plague aura has been greatly leaked. This place is too dangerous, please evacuate immediately. We've already communicated with the Mage Association. The ghost tower is ready to activate at its maximum capacity and will purify and disperse it as soon as possible."

1291 Realization

Lord Chadwick looked nervously at the black patch of land shrouded by the plague and nodded."Okay, let's retreat first."

"Don't worry."

Lord Brent looked ahead and said confidently, "Don't forget that Lord Fang Heng is a mage who can summon a sacred tree. He will definitely have a way to solve such a small problem."

Lord Chadwick nodded and said, "I hope so."

The members of the Mage Association adjusted the output of the ghost tower once again, and a large amount of the undead ghost fog seeped out from the top of the tower.

The seven ghost towers formed a cage, locking the spreading plague aura within the mining area.

Just as everyone retreated and left the area of the ghost tower, a player hurriedly logged on and walked to Ed's side with an anxious expression. He whispered a few words into Ed's ear.

"Commander Ed, there's an emergency offline. Li Xue is hosting an emergency video conference. The guild leaders of the major guilds are all present. They hope that you can go down and take a look."

Emergency?

Offline?

Ed's heart skipped a beat.

As the commander, Li Xue had been involved in the invasion of the Holy Court. She was very clear about the urgency of the situation.

Why did she have to call an emergency meeting at this time?

Did something big happen?

"Okay, let's prepare the venue. I'll rush over now."

…

After Ed went offline, he immediately went to the projection hall on the sixth floor of the company headquarters.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw the projection of Li Xue and the others in the middle of the hall.

Other than Li Xue, there were also the higher-ups of the major gaming teams and guilds that worked with him standing on both sides.

What was going on? So many people came to attend the meeting?

They seemed to be waiting for him.

Ed was even more confused as he shifted his gaze to Li Xue.

"Everyone is here. Let's continue."

Li Xue nodded at the crowd and looked at Ed like everyone else. Her eyes were more or less probing.

"President Ed, our cooperation has always been very smooth. You and I both know the difficulty of the main mission regarding the abyssal demon. If we can't cooperate sincerely and still have some hidden thoughts, I'm afraid that the subsequent mission progress will only be even more difficult. It's almost impossible to win the final victory."

Ed could hear the hidden meaning in Li Xue's words and could not help but interrupt, "Li Xue, there's no need to beat around the bush. You should know that the situation in the game is urgent. If there's anything you want to ask, just say it. I can very responsibly guarantee that I have not hidden anything from you during this period."

The expressions of the other upper echelons of the various large guilds improved slightly.

"Well, alright, let's get straight to the point. It's about Fang Heng."

Li Xue looked at Ed with a serious expression. She reached out and tapped the wall lightly.

Two photos were projected on the right wall.

Ed's expression changed when he saw the two photos.

That was…

Lord Fang Heng?

On the left was Lord Fang Heng with a mask on his face, while on the right was Fang Heng without a mask.

"When I first heard the name Fang Heng, I felt that it was very familiar. Coincidentally, it was the same name as the player who recently unified the world of the vampires in the elementary game world."

Ed stared at the photos on the wall.

Fang Heng!

The dual World Lords of the Vampire Apocalypse and the Zombie Apocalypse.

These two photos looked like the same person!

Some time ago, the news that Fang Heng had unified the entire elementary game, the Vampire Apocalypse, caused a huge uproar among the players. It lasted for a long time and almost everyone knew about it.

Other than those players who were focused on cultivating in the game, everyone else had more or less heard of it.

Vampire Apocalypse?

That's right! Could it be that Fang Heng created the low-tier game world's Princes of the vampires he just saw in the game?

For a moment, Ed also had great doubts in his heart.

Very suspicious!

Lord Fang Heng had always been unwilling to show his true face.

Could this be the reason?

Looking up again, Ed had already figured out the purpose of so many partners gathering here.

"Are you suspecting that the dual World Lord Fang Heng of the elementary game is the same person as Lord Fang Heng in our game?"

"Yeah, I thought it was just a coincidence too. Why would a World Lord from an elementary game come to our intermediate game? It was only when I saw the appearance of the vampires that I became more suspicious. I found a professional to do a special comparison and confirmed that from the height and appearance, there was an 80% chance that they are the same person."

Ed frowned and denied, "That's not right. I've checked Fang Heng's information before. I'm sure that Fang Heng should still be in the real world cooperating with the Eastern Federation to solve the problem of the spread of the aura of the death realm. He won't appear in…"

Aura of the death realm?

Undead?!

Ed suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

He realized something.

What a coincidence!

World Lord Fang Heng was proficient in the study of necromancy, he could freely control the undead creatures to build buildings, and he could also target the aura of the death realm

This was so similar to Lord Fang Heng in the game!

"Everyone, I've just verified this through my relationship with the Eastern Federation."

Among the many projections present, an old man interrupted their discussion. His voice was a little dry as he spoke, "I've confirmed that Fang Heng was invited by the Eastern Federation to assist in a special mission not long ago. He's still in the game. The other party told me that the mission is confidential and that it's not convenient to disclose the details of the mission to the public."

"This…"

Ed felt a layer of cold sweat on his back.

"The mission is confidential and cannot be disclosed to the public " was a huge hint!

What kind of mission required extreme secrecy? And even the Federation needed Fang Heng's help?

The answer was already apparent.

There was a 99% chance that it was the realm-level advancement trial mission!

This also explained why they would appear in the intermediate game world!

F*ck!

Were Lord Fang Heng and the World Lord of the elementary world of the vampires the same person?

Were they deceived?

The hall fell silent.

The higher-ups of the gaming guilds were filled with admiration.

Fang Heng was the first person to be able to fool so many big guild players.

Moreover, he could turn the entire barbarian race game world upside down with his strength. Fang Heng's strength was apparent!

Ed took a deep breath and could not help but recall every time he met Fang Heng.

Fang Heng's identity as a player was not without flaws.

He should be able to discover it faster!

The main thing was that it was too fast.

It had only been a few days since he had officially met Fang Heng.

The progress of the game was too fast!

First, there was the invasion of the barbarians, then the inheritance of the Saints, the abyssal demon, the crisis of the underground palace, the internal strife of the Empire, the struggle for the royal power, and then the leak of the plague. Fang Heng had to build a large number of mage towers, and finally, he fell out with the Holy Court …

1292 Blasphemy

Thinking about it carefully, ever since Fang Heng appeared, more things had happened than they had experienced in the game in the past few years!

Fang Heng's actions were so fast that they had no time to worry about some of the obvious doubts.

Ed's expression was solemn as he spoke, "Li Xue, and all the other commanders, I can assure you that I didn't know about this beforehand."

The higher-ups of the player guilds could not help but whisper to each other again.

A female player said, "Lord Ed, we're all in the same boat now. We're not here to denounce you. That's not the problem. The Northern Federation is very concerned about what's happening in the game. We now know that Fang Heng has nothing to do with the Northern Federation. Then, our attitude towards the Federation needs to change."

Among the many projections, another middle-aged man also sneered, "I was wondering when the Northern Federation would have such a big plan since they had never paid any attention to our barbarian virtual world. It turns out that it has nothing to do with them."

Ed also smiled bitterly and nodded. He said, "Thank you for your trust, everyone. My intelligence was wrong and I mistakenly thought that it was related to the Central Federation's special plan. I didn't expect to make a mistake. I'm really ashamed."

Seeing that the discussion was open, Li Xue nodded and said, "Everyone, it's impossible to stop now that things have come to this. According to the information we've obtained, Fang Heng's concealment of his identity is very likely a special requirement of the trial. In short, whether Fang Heng is a game player or not, as long as he doesn't say it out loud, we'll pretend not to know."

Everyone looked at each other.

That's right, they had already invested too much into the Saint mission.

Stop now? No way!

"Yes, everything will proceed as usual. I'm more familiar with the Federation, so I'll handle it. It'll be easy to delay them for a few days. In addition, only the higher-ups of the guild like us know about Fang Heng's identity. We still have to hide Fang Heng's true identity from the public."

"Alright, that's for the best."

As the guild commanders discussed the details, a player hurriedly knocked on the door and entered the meeting room.

"Commander Ed, something happened in the mining area in the game. Please go online and investigate immediately."

"The situation in the game has changed. I'll go first."

Ed's expression changed slightly. He nodded at the virtual projections on the screen and quickly left the meeting room.

…

Inside the mine, Karkkila followed Fang Heng's aura and chased after him.

Walking through the depths of the tunnel, Karkkila frowned.

"Buzz…"

Several Holy Light balls floated up and flew to a higher place, spinning faster.

The concentration of the plague aura was too high!

Even the brilliance spell was affected by the strong plague aura, so its effect was very limited. The visual distance was greatly reduced.

"Holy word-Blessing!"

Whoosh!

A dark golden Holy Light barrier rose around Karkkila, isolating him from the plague aura.

"Chi chi chi…"

The Holy Light shield kept sizzling.

Karkkila gritted his teeth and spat out two words, "Fang Heng!"

The plague aura in the mine had reached a certain level. Even the Holy Light shield was affected by the corrosive effect of the aura, and the golden aura continued to dissolve.

"Do you think you can stop me with this?"

An unstoppable killing intent rose from the bottom of Karkkila's heart.

The threat Fang Heng brought to the Holy Court was too great!

He had to die today!

In front of them, through the black plague aura, he could vaguely see the entrance to the cave where the seal was located. Karkkila was vigilant and slowed down his pace.

The ball of Holy Light gradually dispelled the darkness.

In the middle of the room, the reinforced rune paper that had sealed the magic array was gone. A black hole that led to the abyss had appeared in the middle of the magic array!

Large patches of black gas kept seeping out of the hole.

Karkkila looked around and finally fixed his gaze on Fang Heng, who was beside the entrance of the abyss.

"Fang Heng."

"Heh, Archbishop Karkkila. Nice to meet you."

Fang Heng held his scepter and looked at Karkkila with a mocking smile.

"Your actions have already blasphemed the Holy Light. Your crimes are unforgivable! Hand over the holy scepter immediately and accept your judgment."

"Holy scepter?"

Fang Heng shrugged his shoulders in disdain. He lifted the scepter in his hand and held it forward.

"You mean this?"

Karkkila raised his eyebrows and moved his shoulders slightly.

Fang Heng shouted sternly, "Stop! Don't move! If you take another step, I'll throw the scepter into the abyss. Do you believe me?"

Karkkila stared at Fang Heng.

"How dare you!"

Fang Heng placed the scepter in front of the hole in the abyss, looking as if he wanted to give it a try.

Karkkila hesitated.

He was really worried that Fang Heng would throw the scepter into the abyss.

Fang Heng had been watching Karkkila's every move. On the surface, victory was in his grasp, but in fact, he was already cursing in his heart.

The turtle shell of the Holy Court was actually so hard?

It could even isolate a portion of the plague aura?

With such a high concentration of plague aura, anyone else would have long been infected and corroded!

However, the Holy Light barrier blocked most of the plague aura.

Fang Heng noticed that the Holy Light aura around Karkkila was being corroded by the plague aura.

It seemed that he could only use the backup plan.

The success rate was less than 30%.

Let's go all out!

It was not easy to find an opportunity to kill Karkkila. Now that it had come to this, he had to be greedy!

Fang Heng took a deep breath and a malicious provocative expression appeared on his face.

"Hahahaha! Look at what you're saying. What do I not dare to do? By the way, it seems like your scepter is about to be corroded?"

Fang Heng waved the holy scepter in his hand.

Under the corrosion of the plague aura, the holy scepter kept making sizzling sounds. Fang Heng could see that the durability of the holy scepter was slowly decreasing.

"Stop! Are you not afraid of being punished by the gods for blasphemy?"

"Hehe, I'm already half a person from the death realm. Divine punishment can't do anything to me. Come and get it! Let's see how capable your Holy Court is! How about a bet? Neither of us will use any spells. If you can touch the scepter, it'll be considered your win. I'll return the scepter to you…"

"You're courting death!"

Karkkila stared at Fang Heng and rushed toward him!

His patience was almost worn out. He felt that Fang Heng was probably stalling for time, trying to wear down his strength through the surrounding plague aura.

Compared to the holy scepter, Fang Heng was even more terrifying.

Even if the holy scepter was lost, Fang Heng had to die today!

Whoosh!

Karkkila leaned forward, faster than Fang Heng had expected.

Fang Heng was also shocked.

He was a mage, yet his speed was so fast?

"Ka…"

In the next moment, Karkkila, who was accelerating forward, raised his eyebrows.

Not good!

1293 Shattered

A strange sensation came from under his feet.

"Ka ka ka…"

A series of fragile cracking sounds came from the floor under his feet, followed by fine cracks!

"Boom!"

With a loud explosion, the seal on the floor was completely shattered. The entire ground cracked and collapsed!

Karkkila watched as Fang Heng fell into the abyss with the collapsed ground in front of him!

"Hahahaha!!"

Fang Heng stared at Karkkila and laughed maniacally, "Holy scepter right? Do you want it? Come and get it!"

Lunatic!

Karkkila's killing intent towards Fang Heng had reached its peak. With a cold snort, he chased after Fang Heng down the abyss!

As long as Fang Heng was alive, the Holy Court would have no future! Therefore he had to die!

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows when he saw Karkkila chasing after him.

In mid-air, Fang Heng was enveloped by a thick black plague aura. He immediately transformed into a bat form and flew down rapidly!

[Hint: You have entered a high-concentration infected area. Your infection index is increasing rapidly. Please be careful!]

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat. A layer of red light immediately attached to his pupils as he looked down into the abyss.

This was the first time he had entered the abyss to investigate. He did not know how terrifying the abyss was.

He knew that it was extremely dangerous, but he could only fight to the death!

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes as he rapidly descended for nearly 30 meters.

The uneven rocky ground appeared below.

This was it! So fast?

Fang Heng returned to his human form in midair. After landing, he tapped the ground lightly with the tip of his toes and observed his surroundings from the corner of his eye. He immediately flashed to the right side of the abyss!

Stall for time!

These were the only words in Fang Heng's mind.

Karkkila could find his exact location. He could not win in a head-on fight, so he could only rely on his movement speed to widen the gap between him and the other party to stall for time until the other party was tortured to death by the plague aura!

This was his only chance!

"Stop!"

Covered in golden Holy Light, Karkkila slowly floated to the bottom of the cave. After landing, he sped up and chased after Fang Heng.

"Chi Chi!"

The plague aura at the bottom of the abyss was even more concentrated, rapidly corroding the Holy Light shield around Karkkila.

Fang Heng was in front and Karkkila was behind. As Fang Heng was holding the scepter and subjected to a 30% movement speed reduction, the distance between the two sides was slowly closing.

Hold on for a while longer!

Fang Heng gritted his teeth. He could already sense the Holy Light aura rapidly approaching from behind.

"Humph!"

Karkkila let out a cold snort and a dark golden Book of Creation appeared in front of him.

Holy armor!

The Book of Creation shone again.

A layer of golden armor quickly appeared on Karkkila's body!

With the support of the golden armor, Karkkila's speed increased again, and continued to rush toward Fang Heng.

Fang Heng was shocked.

What the hell!

The Holy Court's mages could strengthen their melee attributes.

The distance between the two sides was quickly shortened!

However, the entire underground abyss was relatively empty, and there was no other terrain that could be used.

Karkkila snapped, "Fang Heng! You can't escape!"

He threw a punch!

"Boom!"

A fist that was condensed by the Holy Light slammed into Fang Heng's back, sending him flying toward the wall in front of him!

"Bang!"

Fang Heng was slammed into the wall.

[Hint: You have received the Holy Light judgment-hammer damage (combined magic and physical damage). You have received 95,344 damage. You have entered a heavily injured state.]

[Hint: Your passive effect has taken effect. The heavily injured state has been cleared. Your HP is rapidly recovering.]

[Hint: Your infection index has exceeded 80%. Please be careful.]

Fang Heng gritted his teeth, feeling the piercing pain from every inch of his bones.

The undying body effect allowed one to be immune to physical damage and heal injuries quickly, but the pain was real!

The most troublesome thing was not only the damage but also the infection index!

After entering the underground abyss, the infection index rose faster than he had expected.

Karkkila was affected as well. The outermost layer of the Holy Light shield had been completely corroded, and the Holy Light armor that he had just summoned was gradually showing traces of black as it was rapidly being corroded.

What should he do?

The stabbing pain all over his body made Fang Heng's brain work at high speed.

Stalling for more time did not seem to be effective.

There were no creatures in the surroundings that could be used.

Dead end?

"Fang Heng! Accept your judgment!"

Karkkila rushed over with large strides, and the Holy Light condensed into a single point once again.

"Boom!"

Fang Heng was sent flying again.

[Hint: You have received 82,164 damage from the Holy Light judgment-holy fist (combined physical and magical damage). Due to your passive skill, undying body, you are immune to this attack.]

Dong!!

Fang Heng was once again sent flying, smashing a huge hole in the wall behind him. He could no longer hold the scepter in his hand, and it fell to the ground.

"Eh?"

Karkkila let out a soft gasp, wondering why Fang Heng could still survive his attack.

"Let's see how long you can last!"

Karkkila ignored the scepter of judgment that had fallen to the ground and chased after Fang Heng again.

Fang Heng watched as Karkkila charged at him once again. He quickly rummaged through his backpack, trying to find the last chance to turn the tables.

The Everlasting Moon had a cooldown of seven days. It had only been three days since it was last used, and the coffin of the Vampire King had just been used…

There it is! The holy weapon, Shrine of Bones!

"Buzz!

There was a flash of black light!

The black jade-like skeleton blocked Karkkila's path forward.

"Boom!!!"

The King Guards summoned by the Shrine of Bones had just condensed when they were blown apart by Karkkila's punch!

Karkkila retracted his fist, narrowed his eyes, and started moving again, speeding towards Fang Heng.

Fang Heng watched as Karkkila approached him one step by one step.

No, he couldn't stop it!

Forget it, he would die once!

At most, he would be humiliated a little. He still had the resurrection item [original devouring body crystal] that dropped from killing the original devouring body. After 12 hours of death, he would automatically be resurrected. He might not be completely dead and would not be logged out of the trial game.

Even if he backed out of the game, he still had a chance to turn the tables!

He had already completed the mission to build the advanced teleportation passage.

After returning to the real world, he would immediately build a channel to the intermediate game in the Zombie Apocalypse, and then come back to settle the score with the Holy Court!

However, this way, he would naturally not be able to obtain the final SSS-level realm advancement trial reward.

It was a huge loss.

It couldn't be helped. This was a gamble.

If he lost the bet, he had to accept his defeat calmly.

Fang Heng's pupils constricted, and a hint of determination appeared in his eyes.

Since he was prepared to die once, what he had to do now was to stall for as much time as possible.

In the current environment that was filled with a high concentration of plague aura, every second of delay would increase the probability of Karkkila's death.

After all, after Karkkila killed him, he still had to escape from the underground abyss!

Enduring the pain all over his body, Fang Heng continued to rummage through the items in his backpack.

1294 Mutation

"It's really stupid to use your own life as bait. Next time, I'll have to get someone. I'll let Ed come over…"

Just as he was about to vent his anger in his heart to relieve the pain in his body, Fang Heng suddenly raised his eyebrows.

This was?

Purple syringe?

Fang Heng recalled the syringe he had gotten from Qiu Yaokang not long ago.

The syringe could cause the Hila tissue in the body to mutate. Mutation would cause the Hila virus in the body to reorganize, increasing or weakening the effect of the virus, or completely changing it. If one was unlucky, it was even possible for the body to directly disintegrate.

Even Qiu Yaokang couldn't predict what would happen after the injection.

Since he was going to die anyway, he could give it a try!

What if there was a miracle?

He couldn't die for anything. He could try and collect experimental data. He would sacrifice himself for scientific research.

Fang Heng quickly injected the needle into his body.

Tsk!

The purple liquid pierced into his body.

Fang Heng felt a cold aura quickly spread throughout his body from the injection site!

A hint of purple flashed across his originally pitch-black eyes.

In front of him, Karkkila, who was charging forward to give Fang Heng a fatal blow, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat!

A strong sense of danger rose from the bottom of his heart. He leaped back and stared at Fang Heng.

Whoosh! Swoosh!

The black plague aura in the surroundings was affected, and it surged toward Fang Heng crazily, pouring into his body through his facial features!

What was going on?

Karkkila stared at Fang Heng, his eyes flashing with vigilance.

The thick black plague aura gathered on Fang Heng's body, making him feel extremely uneasy.

It was as if something was growing inside Fang Heng's body.

More and more plague aura rushed toward Fang Heng.

Karkkila had already noticed the anomaly on Fang Heng's body. He charged at Fang Heng with a strong sense of unease and swung his fist again.

"Pfft! Chi chi chi!!"

Just as he took two steps forward, the holy armor on his body rapidly emitted a black corrosive aura.

The Holy Light quickly dimmed.

No!

Karkkila's heart sank.

He actually couldn't get close!

Fang Heng's entire body was shrouded in a black fog, and his face could not be seen clearly. Black strip-like patterns kept appearing on the surface of his body.

After the initial coldness, he felt as if his body was soaked in boiling lava! He wanted to scream in pain, but his throat seemed to be stuck. The plague aura kept pouring in, and he could not even say a word!

Fang Heng had heard from Qiu Yaokang that he needed to absorb the plague aura after using the potion, but he did not expect this kind of absorption method.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm about to explode!"

Fang Heng felt that he was about to reach his limit!

"Qiu Yaokang, you! Just wait!"

The pain in his throat disappeared, and Fang Heng could not help but shout!

Huh?

Fang Heng was stunned.

He suddenly felt his body turn cold, and then he entered a state of clarity that he had never experienced before.

The game notifications flashed crazily on his retina.

[Hint: You have been affected by an unknown potion. Your HP is rapidly decreasing. You have received 1,209 damage…]

[Hint: In the current trial environment, this effect will be restored after leaving the trial. The player can try a special method to solidify this effect.]

Densely packed modification effects refreshed Fang Heng's retina.

More than 600 messages instantly filled up several pages of the game log.

Fang Heng only had ten seconds to choose, so he did not have time to look at them carefully. He only randomly scanned through a dozen attribute bonus messages.

Each of them was a very powerful attribute, but at the same time, it also had an extremely troublesome negative effect.

Fang Heng quickly scanned through a few of them and made a judgment.

This special mutation effect was a trap.

Perhaps some effects could be combined with some special equipment or special skills to achieve terrifying effects.

However, in terms of comprehensive ability, it was completely inferior to the original undying body skill!

At the very least, the undying body effect did not have any negative effects, and it could even be combined with the zombie clone to achieve a bug-like effect.

What a scam!

Fortunately, it was not permanent solidification, and also, it was a trial environment, so there was still medicine for regret.

Half of the ten seconds had passed. Fang Heng quickly focused his attention on finding the most suitable option for himself among the 600 or so mutation options.

The current skill that could save this situation…

There it was!

Cooldown time!

Shortening the cooldown time of the skill would allow the skill to finish its cooldown quickly!

A chance to turn the tables!

He selected skills with a 50% cooldown reduction!

Fang Heng's gaze quickly swept through the dense list of modification options, focusing on the three modification effects that reduced the cooldown time by more than 50%.

The moment the 10-second countdown timer reached, Fang Heng shouted almost at the same time, "Choose effect 482!"

The one with the least negative effects! Moreover, it could also increase the power of the spell!

[Hint: Player has obtained an optional effect 482-glass cannon (Passive effect).]

[Hint: Player's undying body effect has been removed (In the current special environment, the player can recover this skill after exiting the trial).]

[Hint: The player has fused with the virus body of the plague aura. The player will be immune to all negative effects of the plague aura.]

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng suddenly raised his head. Traces of flowing light purple appeared in his black eyes as if they were flowing electric currents.

His mental strength increased by ten times!

Fang Heng felt that his consciousness was unprecedentedly clear.

The moment the new passive skill took effect, the cooldown of the Everlasting Moon skill ended.

"Stay here, Karkkila!"

Fang Heng opened his eyes and pointed at Karkkila.

[Hint: Player has used skill-Everlasting Moon.]

Whoosh! Swoosh!

Karkkila's pupils suddenly locked together.

What the hell!

The plague aura spread out from Fang Heng's body. Almost at the same time, an extremely strong wave of the undead aura seeped out of Fang Heng's body.

What move was that?!

The wails of the vengeful spirits instantly filled the entire underground abyss!

Under the effect of the strength of the Everlasting Moon, Fang Heng's figure slowly floated into the air.

Karkkila's figure was reflected in his pupils, and sweat kept rolling down his cheeks.

The game notifications flashed past his retina.

Fang Heng had no time to observe.

He could feel that the strength of the skill this time was greater than any other time. At the same time, the difficulty of controlling it had more than doubled!

It was as if a huge hole had been opened in his mental strength, and then it was forcefully extracted from his body by an external force!

Fortunately, his mental strength had increased tenfold. Otherwise, he would not have been able to last for 10 seconds.

"Woo…"

Accompanied by a wail, a dark dead soul creature slowly floated out from the depths of the ground.

The entire mine shook violently!

Karkkila looked at Fang Heng, and a fear of the unknown strength rose from the bottom of his heart. He subconsciously took a step back.

…

Outside the mine, Lord Chadwick and the Mage Association had surrounded the entire mining area.

The few Holy Paladins and judges who came with the archbishop of the Holy Court were also temporarily controlled.

Everyone looked at the depths of the Land of Plague with worry in their eyes.

A Holy Paladin of the Holy Court who was being controlled said in a deep voice, "Lords of the Empire, don't be stubborn. Don't be blinded by the undead. He's using you. Only the Holy Light can save this world…"

"Shut up!"

Mo Jiawei was already in a bad mood, so he walked up and gave the Holy Paladin a hard kick.

Strangely, the black plague aura that had shrouded the entrance of the mine in front of them began to slowly recede.

Suddenly, a player noticed something strange in the distance.

"Hey, brothers, look over there. Don't you think that the moon is a little strange?"

Hmm? The moon?

Mo Jiawei's heart skipped a beat, and he could not help but turn around to look at the sky behind him.

As the black plague aura receded, he saw the shadow of a red moon slowly appear in the sky shrouded by the ghost fog.

Eh?

That was…! The moon!

Fang Heng made his move!

Mo Jiawei's eyes sparkled with surprise.

The other players also looked up at the sky, feeling puzzled.

Moonlight? What was going on?

Zhuo Lingfang was also in the crowd, and she raised her head to look at the sky.

It was too strange. There were actually two moons hanging in the sky at the same time, one big and one small.

The new dark red moonlight revealed an ominous aura.

"What happened?"

"Earthquake?"

Following that, everyone realized that the ground was shaking slightly.

The tremors became more and more intense.

Surprise appeared in Mary Fiel's eyes as she said, "It's a natural disaster! A sign of a natural disaster! A natural disaster is coming!"

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, sword saint Chepo was the first to sense the terrifying aura of the undead. His expression changed drastically and he shouted, "Not good! There is a problem with the seal! Retreat quickly! Leave the mine!"

Chadwick was shocked and shouted, "Hurry up! Retreat! Retreat!"

The party members were in chaos for a moment, and they quickly retreated to the periphery of the mining area.

"Boom!!!"

A few seconds later, before the party could completely retreat from the mining area, a violent explosion sounded from the center of the mining area!

A huge black mushroom cloud rose in the middle of the mine area!

The black plague aura caused by the explosion spread rapidly in all directions!

Everyone could feel the terrifying strength contained in the plague aura, and their expressions changed drastically.

"Buzz!!!"

The seven ghost towers that gathered around the mining area emitted a dark light at the same time, forming a dark light screen that was connected.

Boom!!!

The plague aura that exploded in all directions hit the light screen fiercely!

The light screen shook violently.

1296 Killing

Fortunately, it was blocked.

Outside the light screen, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Their eyes could not help but reveal shock and joy.

Thankfully, Lord Fang Heng had set up the ghost tower in advance. Otherwise, with such a berserk plague aura bursting out, more than half of these people would have died!

Ed had just come online. Seeing the black fog in front of him, he could not help but ask, "What happened?"

"Just, just suddenly…"

Zhuo Lingfang looked at Ed and stammered before shaking her head.

She did not know how to explain herself.

Ed frowned and focused his gaze on the mining area again.

The seven ghost towers were activated to the maximum at the same time, quickly dispersing the plague aura that was locked inside.

"Look! That's..!"

As the black aura gradually dissipated, everyone saw a figure hovering in the air.

It was Fang Heng!

Everyone's ears were gradually filled with the cries of vengeful spirits. The sounds were especially terrifying.

Upon closer inspection, the dense plague aura gradually faded as the vengeful spirits absorbed it!

Countless vengeful spirits that could be seen with the naked eye quickly surrounded Fang Heng.

Most of the mages present had come to Lincoln City to learn about necromancy.

Seeing so many vengeful spirit creatures filled with strange auras, the necromancers were all excited.

"President Fang Heng!"

"It's President Fang Heng!! It's a forbidden technique!! He's using a forbidden technique!"

The legendary mage Fang Heng!

Everyone in the Mage Association had heard some rumors.

President Fang Heng was a legendary-level mage.

Previously, he had used a powerful forbidden technique in the Land of Plague and defeated the entire invading barbarian army in one fell swoop!

At that time, Fang Heng was using a nature-elemental spell.

It was a powerful permanent field spell that summoned a powerful sacred tree.

And this time, Fang Heng was casting a necromancy spell!

Necromancy forbidden spell!

All the mages present looked at Fang Heng with burning gazes, and even their breathing became a little hurried.

There were very few inheritances of necromancy. Not to mention forbidden spells, even high-level necromancy spells were very rare. This was the first time they had seen a forbidden spell of the necromancy level being used in front of them.

"They are not ordinary vengeful spirits."

In the crowd, a few high-tier mages from the Mage Association also sensed it.

Ordinary vengeful spirit creatures were larger and thinner than the spirits summoned by Fang Heng, and the aura they emitted was far less oppressive.

"Chi! Chi Chi!"

The vengeful spirits absorbed the plague aura crazily in the air, then quickly decomposed and replicated themselves, and the numbers quickly grew and spread.

In the blink of an eye, the white spiraling soul bodies covered more than half of the mining area!

Fang Heng slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at the archbishop of the Holy Court, Karkkila, who was climbing out of the ruins.

Karkkila stared at Fang Heng, his eyes filled with surprise.

His body was covered in a layer of Holy Light shield and holy armor.

Under the influence of the plague aura, the holy armor was almost completely corroded, and the Holy Light shield was extremely thin.

Fang Heng moved his lips slightly and whispered in a voice that only he could hear, "Karkkila, return to the dead realm."

"Chi chi chi!!"

Stimulated by Fang Heng's spiritual perception, the surrounding tens of thousands of soul bodies let out soul roars simultaneously and swooped down towards Karkkila!

"Buzz!!"

Karkkila felt an unprecedented sense of danger, and his spirit was roused. A Holy Light barrier suddenly opened up!

"Puff!"

The dead soul bodies collided with the light curtain and exploded, creating a ripple.

In the next moment, tens of thousands of dead soul bodies swarmed toward the Holy Light barrier!

The dead soul bodies slammed into the light screen, creating a series of muffled sounds.

The Holy Light barrier dimmed at an extremely fast speed!

"Boom!!"

The Holy Light barrier had only lasted for half a second before it exploded!

The dead soul bodies penetrated the Holy Light fragments and crashed into Karkkila's body again!

[Hint: The dead soul bodies have absorbed the life energy from Karkkila's body. Karkkila's maximum HP has been reduced by 20 points, and his HP has been reduced by 353 points. His vitality has been absorbed and converted into the dead soul bodies' unique energy.]

[Hint: The player's trial team has completed the mission-barbarian's recognition. The player's team has completed the mission ahead of time and obtained an additional 30 hours of game time.]

[Hint: The dead soul bodies are replicating themselves…]

[Hint: The dead soul bodies have absorbed life energy from Karkkila's body…]

Numerous game notifications flashed across Fang Heng's vision.

Everyone gathered at the edge of the mining area and watched as a large number of souls passed through Karkkila's body!

The Holy Light that bloomed from Karkkila's body gradually dimmed. Every time a soul penetrated his body, it seemed to take away a portion of his power.

His back slowly bent, and his face aged at an extremely fast speed!

A few seconds later, Karkkila seemed to have been drained of all his strength. He was as thin as a bag of bones, and his pupils lost all their luster.

"Pfft."

Karkkila fell on his back.

The surroundings were quiet for a moment, and only the heavy breathing of the mages could be heard.

Archbishop Karkkila of the Holy Court!

He was actually unable to resist Lord Fang Heng's forbidden technique!

Seeing Karkkila fall in front of them, everyone's eyes revealed deep shock.

"The power of necromancy…"

Sword saint Chepo stared at Fang Heng, who was floating in the air and muttered to himself.

"Archbishop!"

Seeing Karkkila's death, the Holy Paladins and judges of the Holy Court could not help but shout with agitation!

They couldn't believe what was happening in front of them. They shouted desperately, trying to wake Karkkila up.

Mage Dunant shook his head.

"It's already over."

Under the illumination of the soul fire, many necromancy mages saw it.

The archbishop's soul was also completely devoured by the dead soul bodies!

[Hint: Your companion has killed the bishop of the Holy Court, Karkkila. Your contribution to the kill is less than 1%. You have received a random A-level reward. Your friendship with the Holy Court has been greatly reduced.]

The game notification appeared on the players' retinas.

Ed looked at the notification on his retina and was speechless for a moment.

Dead?

The archbishop of the Holy Court had been killed by Fang Heng!

Compared to this, the random A-level mission reward that he had obtained for free this time could not arouse Ed's interest at all.

The shock in his heart was greater than at any time before!

Fang Heng was just a player. Moreover, he was a player who had come for the trial mission!

He actually killed the archbishop of the Holy Court, who was ranked first in the barbarian realm game, by himself!

What the hell, what kind of monsters were the players in the elementary game?

Ed felt his throat go dry and swallowed his saliva out of habit.

The moonlight gradually dissipated.

The power enveloping Fang Heng gradually dissipated.

Enshrouded by the dark energy, Fang Heng slowly floated to the ground.

After releasing the skill, Fang Heng had no choice but to clench his teeth again as he felt a throbbing pain in his brain.

The game prompt appeared on his retina.
