Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Fang Heng was transmigrated to a parallel world and his soul was forced into the body of a man who had just committed suicide. Huh? What? Every human here was being forced to join a game?

1585 Dispersion

"Also, the holy seal that you brought back, the believers of the Holy Court felt that the seal's attributes were in conflict with the aura of the Blood Temple. They suggested that it would be safer to store the seal in the Temple of Zeus."

Carl's expression was a little strange when he mentioned the believers of the Holy Court that Fang Heng had brought back from the advanced game world.

The vampires couldn't get close to the holy beam space.

Only the believers of the Holy Court could move it.

The short one-kilometer journey took seven hours.

"After a discussion, the elders have decided to temporarily bring the believers of the Holy Court and the seal to the Temple of Zeus for storage. Our people will lock down the outside and guard it."

Fang Heng nodded slightly. Mo Jiawei had mentioned this to him before.

At present, the finishing touches of the trip to Watts had not been completed.

Sheng Tao, who was sealed by the holy beam space, was still a big problem.

However, Fang Heng already had a preliminary plan to deal with him.

"Mm, well done. The holy beam space is extremely important. Take some men to the outer perimeter of the Temple of Zeus and guard it personally."

"Yes, sir!"

Prince Carl's expression turned serious as he nodded and left with the group of vampires behind him.

Mo Jiawei, who was standing at the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips. He thought, "Fang Heng, you brought a lot of things from the high-level game world this time, right?"

Fang Heng asked Carl to do something first and then activated the relevant authority to allow the passage from the higher world to connect. He chose Cleriway.

A moment later, the teleportation passage was once again shining. A green light enveloped the space portal and a light green crack appeared in space.

Cleriway leaped out of the crack.

This was the first time she had left her teacher's residence and come into contact with the outside world. She curiously sized up this unfamiliar world.

Upon seeing Fang Heng, Cleriway greeted him softly and walked to his side.

"Fang Heng."

"Cleriway, do you need to rest?"

She shook her head lightly.

"Alright, I'll bring you to the sacred tree first."

Fang Heng nodded at Victor.

"Victor, sorry to trouble you. Get ready. Activate the teleportation device and open the teleportation passage…"

…

Late at night, in the barbarian realm, ever since Tang Mingyue left the place, the Empire fell into a small scale of chaos.

However, the chaos did not spread to the Land of Plague.

Cleriway and Fang Heng entered the Land of Plague through the portal.

When she walked out of the portal and saw the sacred tree Abe Akaya entrenched in the mage tower, an extremely shocked expression appeared on her face.

She had never seen a tree with strong vitality.

Was it the ancient tree of life?

The natural vitality lingering in the air made Cleriway feel comfortable and at ease.

She tried to establish a spiritual link with the ancient tree of life, but she was decisively rejected.

"Chi chi chi…"

Fang Heng waved his hand, and the vines blocking their way moved away.

Seeing this scene, Cleriway couldn't help but look at Fang Heng, her eyes filled with approval and gentleness.

It turned out that he had already formed a contract with the ancient tree of life.

A person who could form a contract with the ancient tree of life should not be a bad person, right?

"Fang Heng,"

Cleriway followed beside Fang Heng and gently tugged at the corner of Fang Heng's clothes, asking in a low voice, "Is this the ancient tree of life?"

"Hmm?"

Ancient tree of life?

Fang Heng was stunned.

Previously, when he was researching the transplanting problem of Abe Akaya, he had read a lot of information about plants, and he had seen a few words about the ancient tree of life.

Translated from the ancient elven language, it had a lot of mythological colors.

As a result, Fang Heng found it hard to understand what the ancient tree of life looked like.

It was probably a sacred tree that the elves worshipped.

It was said that the elves were born from the ancient tree of life.

"No."

"Ah?"

Clayde exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't it?"

"It's called Abe Akaya, and it shouldn't be the ancient tree of life you mentioned."

"Then, then can I establish a spiritual link with it?"

With a look of anticipation in her eyes, she pleaded, "I need to establish a spiritual connection with it to understand its current situation more clearly. Only then can I successfully complete the transplant?"

"Of course, you can."

Fang Heng raised his head and said, "Abe Akaya, she's my friend, Cleriway. She'll help you complete the transplant. I told you before that this place isn't suitable for us to live in for a long time."

A joyful expression appeared on Abe Akaya's body. A few branches extended from the side and gently stroked Cleriway's cheek.

"Kekeke…"

Cleriway was a little ticklish as she giggled, washing away her fear of coming to this unknown world for the first time.

She tried to reach out her hand and lightly tapped on the vines of Abe Akaya.

The spiritual link was quickly established.

Cleriway was stunned again.

Such a vast life force?

Through the spiritual link, she could sense the full appearance of Abe Akaya.

The entire Land of Plague had been completely enveloped by Abe Akaya.

The ancient tree of life!

It must be the ancient tree of life.

Even the ancient tree of life that her village relied on to survive when she was young was not as vast as this.

"Cleriway, I still have some things to do. You should communicate with Abe Akaya first and prepare for the follow-up transplant. After that, we will discuss it in detail."

Mo Jiawei nodded and said, "Aunt Missy is the manager here. I'll bring you to see her later. She'll be in charge of your daily life. Don't stand on ceremony. If you need anything, feel free to tell us at any time. We'll help you prepare it."

Cleriway snapped back to her senses.

She could not understand why the ancient tree of life would appear here.

"Alright, thank you."

Fang Heng nodded at Mo Jiawei, indicating for him to take care of Cleriway before teleporting into Hani City.

He had an extremely important matter to attend to.

Fang Heng walked for a full ten minutes through a long and narrow passage that was more than twenty meters long.

Fang Heng stopped in front of the final door.

His expression turned grave.

The Saintess.

Viona.

Once the sacred tree moved, Saintess Viona would be at risk of losing control.

For safety's sake, it was best to deal with Viona first.

Viona was the main reason why they had encountered so many obstacles in their journey to Watts, and why they had been hunted down along the way.

Thanks to her, there was an additional 'contamination' on his body.

Fang Heng's eyes were filled with killing intent.

…

Inside the room, Viona was sitting on the edge of the bed in a long white dress and giving off a holy aura.

On the outside, she looked like she didn't want anyone to come near her, but on the inside, she was extremely nervous.

Fang Heng entering Watts so quickly had exceeded her expectations.

She did not expect Fang Heng to come into contact with the pollution in the high-level game world so quickly and activate the demonic seed in his body.

What was even more troublesome was that she had never found a chance to send out Fang Heng's information.

Fang Heng was a demonic seed!

Moreover, it was an unawakened demonic seed!

Fang Heng had not awakened yet, but he had already brought such a huge impact to the Holy Court. Moreover, he was also greatly involved in the secrets of the vampires.

Once the awakening was successful…

1586 Negotiations

Viona had a strong premonition.

The entire Holy Court might even be destroyed because of Fang Heng!

Viona had no choice but to make a decision.

She would directly stimulate the demonic seed in Fang Heng's body, allowing the 'Tongues of Jealousy' that was secretly controlling Watts to deal with Fang Heng and suppress the demonic seed in Fang Heng's body, forcing Fang Heng to cooperate with her.

Viona did not know Fang Heng's current situation. However, she felt that Fang Heng wouldn't be able to win against the 'Tongues of Jealousy'.

Fortunately, the 'Tongues of Jealousy' could not truly descend into that world, and its strength was greatly weakened.

Based on her judgment of Fang Heng's strength, after paying a huge price, Fang Heng still had a chance to survive.

By then, Fang Heng would have witnessed the dangers of the high-level game world and would have been tainted by the 'Tongues of Jealousy'.

She could use this as a threat and invite him to sit down and talk about cooperation.

As for the worst-case scenario…

Fang Heng died at the hands of the 'Tongues of Jealousy'.

He could only count himself unlucky.

Just as Viona was thinking, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

"Viona, long time no see."

Viona's expression turned solemn when she saw the person walking in.

Fang Heng!

He had returned from Watts!

Viona heaved a sigh of relief.

On the surface, Viona maintained a cold expression and looked at Fang Heng, "You're back. How's the situation at Watts's side?"

"Not bad," Fang Heng smiled and sat across from Viona. His tone was a little mocking as he said, "Thank you for your help. I've encountered a lot of trouble in Watts."

Viona's expression changed and she asked, "What do you mean?"

"Do you need me to make it clearer? For example, I encountered a demonic seed?"

Viona's pupils constricted.

"How much do you know?"

"A lot. For example, I'm a demonic seed, or the 'Tongues of Jealousy' wants to kill me? For example, you intentionally triggered the demonic seed in my body to attract the attention of the 'Tongues of Jealousy'?"

Viona's cold expression finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

So he already knew everything!

Soon, Viona regained her composure.

"I'm sorry for putting you in danger. I believe you can understand why I did this. Once the demonic seed in your body awakens, you won't be yourself anymore."

Bullsh*t! You're still bluffing!

Fang Heng felt hatred in his heart, but his face remained calm.

"I'm the only one who can help you get rid of the pollution on your body." Viona raised her finger and swore, "I swear in the name of the Holy Light that I will keep my promise and help you completely remove the demonic seed in your body."

Golden Holy Light sprinkled down, making Viona appear sacred and solemn.

"I also hope that you can believe me. If the demonic seed is not removed, your mind will gradually be controlled by the demonic seed until you become its puppet."

Fang Heng looked at Viona, extremely suspicious of everything she said.

The demonic seed could control him to become a puppet?

This was completely different from what he had learned from the Fallen Ones faction!

That was not what Luo Xu said at all.

The demonic seed could not control minds at all. It was the demonic seed that chose him.

Even if what Viona said was true, he wouldn't dare to cooperate with her.

Fang Heng felt that no matter how stupid he was, he wouldn't fall to the tricks of the Holy Court twice in a row.

After thinking for a moment, several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind.

"Are you threatening me, Viona?"

Viona said gently, "This is not a threat, Fang Heng. This is a plea. The power of hell is not something you can resist alone."

Fang Heng's expression became more serious as he nodded. He said, "Alright, I think what you said makes sense. We should abandon all the unhappiness in the past and cooperate sincerely."

"It's good that you think that way."

"Since you've already lied to me once, the premise of our cooperation is that you have to help me remove the corruption of the 'Tongues of Jealousy'."

"No problem."

Viona nodded without hesitation.

"However, the pollution suppression on your body comes directly from the 'Tongues of Jealousy'. I can't do it with my current strength. Only after awakening part of the Saintess' power can I help you remove the pollution on your body. Or, if you're willing to believe me, I can take you to the Oracle and pray for the power of the holy realm to help you remove the pollution."

"Is that so…I feel like I've become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered again…"

Fang Heng's eyes were filled with suspicion.

Viona looked at Fang Heng and tried to persuade him again, "Fang Heng, demons are extremely cunning and evil creatures. They have always been the most powerful opponents in the holy realm. The battle with demons is not a one-day battle."

"You are also a victim of the demons. We need more trust."

[Hint: The player has been affected by the effect of mental skill.]

[Hint: Your willpower is higher than 150, immune to this mental influence.]

Fang Heng looked at the game notifications that flashed on his retina, and his heart turned colder.

After talking for a long time, Viona still wanted to get out of trouble, and she did not hesitate to fool him.

Fang Heng looked at Viona and nodded. He replied, "I need to think about it again."

"I understand. What happened before was my fault." Viona nodded and said, "I sincerely apologize. I'm also willing to wait for you to turn back. I hope you can understand me."

"Got it."

Fang Heng said as he got up and left the room, his lips curling in disdain.

Ha, Holy Court.

Only a fool would believe in them!

Fang Heng had already given up after this communication.

He could not cooperate with the Holy Court.

"I gave you a chance, Viona…"

Fang Heng muttered softly, his eyes gradually turning cold.

Viona could only complete the mission.

However, he couldn't just hand her over for the mission so easily.

Fang Heng had a better plan.

He returned to the Land of Plague.

Inside the portal, Cleriway was playing with the vines of Abe Akaya.

Fang Heng asked, "Are you used to it?"

"Yes, very good. Abe Akaya is a very good friend."

Abe Akaya also sent Fang Heng a message of joy.

"Can I stay here with the sacred tree forever?"

"Of course."

It would be best if she didn't run around. Besides, she had the protection of Abe Akaya, so she wouldn't be in danger. Fang Heng felt more at ease.

"But we will transfer it back to the Zombie Apocalypse, the world you saw before."

"Yes, yes."

Cleriway nodded, "Yes, I've talked to Abe Akaya. Transplanting it will cause some damage to Abe Akaya. With Abe Akaya's ability, it can recover very quickly. However, using spatial power to seal Abe Akaya will consume a lot of energy in a short period We need energy."

Fang Heng frowned and asked, "Energy? Such as?"

"Cosmic crystals, this is the best and most commonly seen energy source."

1587 Brand

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief and looked at Mo Jiawei.

Previously, they had traded with Starfish Company and obtained a portion of cosmic crystals.

Mo Jiawei walked over and said, "Our goods with the Starfish Company are still in progress. Currently, we have already sent nine batches of supplies over. The other party has already delivered 1.4 tons of cosmic crystals. I'll go and communicate with them again."

"No need, no need. There's no need for so much."

Cleriway was shocked by Mo Jiawei's words and quickly waved her hand.

"At most, a cart of crystal ores will be enough."

It was just a cart. It was easy.

"Alright, I still need to make some preparations before we transplant Abe Akaya. We will officially start the teleportation in a few days."

Cleriway looked at Mo Jiawei timidly and nodded.

Very good, there was no problem with the teleportation of Abe Akaya.

Next, he could focus on dealing with Viona.

He would use Viona's life to complete the upgrade of his talent.

Fang Heng concentrated on thinking about the arrangements.

The risk was too great.

He was still lacking in strength.

In a very short time, Fang Heng thought of two ways to increase his strength quickly.

First, the vampire bloodline would be upgraded.

He needed to use the Vampire King's Coffin. The blood had already been gathered. If everything went smoothly, he could immediately carry out the transformation.

Second, the undead Bones Boss which was the source of the shady line.

Yes, where Ji Xiaobo was.

To complete the plan he had envisioned, he first had to think of a way to completely control the source of the shady vein in his hands.

This morning, the zombie clones he left at the source of the shady line had all stopped the spirit branding.

He wondered if Ji Xiaobo was in trouble.

He had to go over and take a look.

…

Frost Hell.

Deep within the shady line, Ji Xiaobo was fiddling with something in front of a metal pot.

Whoosh! Swoosh!

Dark spatial fluctuations appeared in the area enveloped by the Holy Light.

Ji Xiaobo's heart skipped a beat as he raised his head.

Fang Heng's figure passed through the dark space and appeared in front of them.

"Brother Fang!"

Ji Xiaobo was overjoyed. He waved at Fang Heng and said excitedly, "Brother Fang, you're finally back. Come, take a look at my results!"

"Oh? What is it?"

Fang Heng looked around the cave.

After a few days, the source of the shady line was still the same as before, roughly divided into three areas.

In the deepest part of the area, there was a great holy sword protecting the area. The holy sword's light enveloped the middle defensive layer, and the outermost layer was filled with undead Bones Bosses and giant-sized undead elite Bones.

Ji Xiaobo was standing at the outermost layer, fully armed with a black metal pot in front of him.

There were dense patterns drawn on the surface of the pot.

"It's almost done. Come and take a look at this."

Ji Xiaobo proudly pointed at the pot in front of him.

Balls of blue soul fire burned under the cauldron.

It was unknown what was inside the pot, but gray mist was constantly seeping out of it.

"The special aura produced by the metal pot can suppress the will of the surrounding undead. To put it simply, it can suppress their strength and soul power."

Fang Heng looked at the circle of undead creatures outside the holy domain.

A small group of undead Bones that had been branded by the spirit imprint gathered in the right corner of the cave. The remaining undead Bones were covered in a thin layer of dark fog.

Compared to before, these undead creatures seemed to be less aggressive.

Only a small portion of the undead Bones were still trying to get close to the great holy sword in the center.

"This…"

Fang Heng suddenly realized something and turned to look at Ji Xiaobao. He exclaimed, "Something's not right, where are the vengeful spirits?!"

He remembered clearly that the source of the shady line was not only filled with Ice Bones Bosses but also many frozen vengeful spirit Bosses.

But now, all the vengeful spirits had disappeared?

"Hehe."

Ji Xiaobo rubbed his nose smugly and smiled. He said, "Add more ingredients to the pot. The vengeful spirits don't like this smell. It's already floating to the door and blocking the way."

Amazing!

Fang Heng gave Ji Xiaobo a thumbs up.

"Brother Fang, why don't you try leaving the Holy Light domain?"

Leave?

Fang Heng frowned.

The undead Bones were suppressed, and their attack power was greatly reduced. The vengeful spirit Bosses were also gathered outside the cave. In theory, the danger of going out was greatly reduced.

He could give it a try.

"Okay!"

Fang Heng also nodded without hesitation and moved forward a few steps, standing at the edge of the holy aura protection area.

Whoosh!

Fang Heng took a step forward and left the holy aura domain. At the same time, he immediately switched to his necromancy form.

"Bang!"

Before his body could completely leave the holy area, his undead attribute was immediately damaged by the holy wave. A huge force pushed him out from behind!

Fang Heng stared at the undead Bones in the outside world.

The Uundead Bones Bosses seemed to have sensed something. They turned towards Fang Heng one after another, and the soul fire in their eyes was aimed at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng quickly held the soul jade crystal tightly in his hand.

A layer of dark light enveloped Fang Heng, shielding him from the presence of life.

Boom!

Fang Heng controlled his body and fell to the ground.

Phew…

Fang Heng quickly scanned his surroundings.

The undead Bones were no longer interested in him and continued to move toward the great sword.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!!"

After switching to the necromancy form, the zombie clones that were originally in the area enveloped by the Holy Light were also ejected by the holy power one by one, scattering around Fang Heng.

It was considered a success.

Fang Heng stood up, dusted himself off, and gestured to Ji Xiaobo.

"Brother Fang! Awesome!!"

Ji Xiaobo gave Fang Heng a thumbs up.

Fang Heng continued to control the zombie clones to stand up slowly and gather behind him.

The zombie clones could now move freely in the cave!

This made things easier.

Previously, due to geographical limitations, he could only summon about 100 zombie clones to stay in the area covered by the Holy Light.

Now that he was free, he could summon all the zombie clones at once.

Once the number of zombie clones increased, the success rate of the spirit imprint would also increase.

Ji Xiaobo chuckled.

"Hehe, Brother Fang, it's time to witness a miracle."

"Hmm?"

Fang Heng looked at Ji Xiaobo in confusion.

Ji Xiaobo rubbed his hands and sprinkled a dark blue powder into the metal black pot in front of him.

"Chi chi…Tsk tsk…"

The aura coming out of the black pot was immediately covered with a layer of light blue mist.

Ji Xiaobo was focused as he control the black pot.

The blue mist rapidly condensed!

In an instant, a large amount of fog enveloped an undead Bones Boss that was wandering alone!

The undead Bones Boss sensed the influence of the aura and was about to struggle when a large amount of blue aura surrounded it.

Ji Xiaobo shouted, "Brother Fang! I suppressed it! Quickly, quickly brand it with the spirit imprint!"

"Alright!"

Fang Heng immediately raised his hand and branded his spirit imprint on the undead Bones Boss.

1588 Full of Fighting Spirit

Chi!

Invisible mental strength fluctuations flowed out of Fang Heng's palm and quickly spread toward the undead Bones leader.

Eh?

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat.

In the past, when he used the spirit imprint, the suppressed undead Bones would show intense resistance.

But this time, it was different!

The undead Bones Boss was completely suppressed by a layer of light blue fog that enveloped its body. It was completely unable to move!

A line of game notifications quickly appeared in Fang Heng's vision.

[Hint: You are applying a spirit imprint on the target undead Bones (leader). The creature is in a suppressed state. The success rate of spirit imprint has increased.]

Good!

Fang Heng's eyes lit up! A channeling bar appeared above his head.

The skill channeling bar quickly moved forward until it was full.

[Hint: Your spirit imprint has failed.]

As expected, he still failed.

Fang Heng was not disappointed.

The difference between the two levels was too big.

His luck was average, and the chances of success were very low.

It didn't matter.

He would accumulate the number of times!

Under Fang Heng's control, the surrounding zombie clones gathered in front of him. One by one, they extended their palms forward and cast spirit imprints on the suppressed undead Bones.

For a moment, skill channeling bars appeared above the heads of the zombie clones.

The game notifications on Fang Heng's retina started to refresh.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone failed to execute the spirit imprint on the target-undead Bones (Leader)…]

…

Twenty minutes later, as usual, Ji Xiaobo maintained the black cauldron as it continued to steam. A layer of sweat was already on his forehead, and it was dripping down his cheeks.

Fang Heng was also observing the great holy sword in the center of the shady line from afar.

He felt that there was a high possibility that the seal under the great holy sword was some kind of entrance.

Just as he was thinking about it, a red game notification flashed in the middle of a series of failed notifications.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone has completed the spirit imprint on the undead Bones (Leader).]

Success!

Fang Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned around to look behind him.

Whoosh!

The light blue soul fire in the two holes in the undead Bones Boss' eyes disappeared and then bloomed again!

The branding was complete!

Under Fang Heng's control, the leader of the undead Bones slowly walked to the corner and stayed where it was with the rest of the undead Bones under Fang Heng's control.

"Awesome!"

Ji Xiaobo was even more excited than Fang Heng. He shouted and wiped the sweat off his forehead before waving his fist.

"Brother Fang is awesome!"

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the undead Bones.

Indeed, with Ji Xiaobo's help, the sealing efficiency increased.

As for the exact increase in success rate, he still needed to conduct a few more tests to determine it.

He hadn't reached the maximum number of zombie clones yet.

When all the zombie clones were resurrected, the branding efficiency would be even higher!

The only question now was, could Ji Xiaobo hold on?

Fang Heng looked at the sweaty Ji Xiaobo and asked, "Can you still do it?"

"No problem, I can still hold on for a while."

Ji Xiaobo took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. He said, "But I really can't hold on for long. I need to rest for a while."

Fang Heng walked up to the black metal pot, sized it up a few times, and asked, "Why don't I control it instead?"

"That won't do. This thing is a holy artifact. It's very troublesome to use. You don't have our family's bloodline, so you can't control it even if you take over."

"A holy artifact?"

The alarm in Fang Heng's heart was triggered.

He recalled the incident where Li Qingran mentioned the theft of the Necromancer Association's holy artifact.

Fang Heng looked at the black metal pot and asked suspiciously, "This holy artifact you're talking about, could it be that you stole it from the Necromancer Association?"

"What do you mean by 'stole'? It's 'took'! I took it, okay!"

"The Necromancer Association was founded by my family. Taking things from my own house is not considered stealing."

Ji Xiaobo panicked and retorted, "This thing is just an ordinary holy artifact. My great-grandfather has a lot of it at home. It has an eternal brand on it, and only my family members can use it. Later, it was sealed as a sacrificial vessel and has been stored in the Necromancer Association. Since it's originally mine, what's wrong with me taking it back?"

"Yes, indeed."

Fang Heng was convinced. He nodded and said, "Indeed, it's not stealing things if it's from your own family."

"That's right. The Central Federation isn't any good either. They want to take over our family's assets. I heard that the Central Federation has been establishing a deeper level of cooperation with the Holy Court. I reckon that they've been trying to deal with our Necromancer Association for a long time."

As he spoke, Ji Xiaobo became more and more annoyed, his anger rising.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. We'll settle this score slowly in the future."

Ji Xiaobo didn't continue the topic. He said, "Right, Fang Heng, controlling the holy artifact isn't a big problem, but we're still lacking some fuel."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

Ji Xiaobo pointed at the pot in front of him and said, "The blue smoke that suppresses the undead Bones requires fuel. This thing is called the blue incense ash filled with resentment."

"When I brought the holy artifact out previously, I brought a little of it along with me. It's mainly because it's not easy to take it with me. I didn't expect that the Necromancer Association would suddenly inspect it these few days and discover that the cauldron had been lost. The Central Federation sent a special investigation team over, and the remaining fuel was temporarily sealed by the Central Federation as evidence."

"Fang Heng, I can only rely on you to think of a way to get the incense ashes from other channels."

Ji Xiaobo said, pointing at the sack beside the pot.

"Yes."

Fang Heng grunted softly, walked forward, and reached out to touch the incense ashes in the bag.

The game prompt quickly appeared on his retina.

[Item-Incense ash filled with extreme resentment (blue).]

Type: Special materials, construction materials, spell materials.

Description: Incense ash is made with a special process. Incense ash contains resentment that will not dissipate. It is relatively rare.

From the description, it seemed to be a very rare material. It shouldn't be too troublesome to get it.

Fang Heng estimated in his heart and raised his head. He said, "Alright, leave the incense ashes to me. You should rest for a while. After we get the incense ashes, we need to finish branding all the undead Bones as soon as possible."

"No problem!"

Ji Xiaobo rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was full of fighting spirit. He shouted, "As long as there is enough incense ash, two days! In just two days, I'll complete everything! Then, we'll go find trouble with the Holy Court!"

"Two days is too much. You only have one day at most. I'll go get some dust for you."

"Ah?"

Ji Xiaobo was shocked.

Two days were considered long?

"Ji Xiaobo, you only have one day, okay?" Fang Heng pressed his hand on Ji Xiaobo's shoulder and said, "To tell you the truth, I have a big plan to deal with the Holy Court. You are now shouldering the hope of the future of our necromancy. Only you can do it."

1589 Incense Ash

When he heard that he was the future hope of necromancy, Ji Xiaobo was instantly filled with endless motivation. He gritted his teeth and looked like he was going to fight till his death.

"Good! I will settle this within one day! Brother Fang, don't worry. Even if I don't sleep, even if I need to keep taking pills, I complete all of it in one day!"

"Good!"

Fang Heng quickly did an estimate in his head. Time was still too tight. He only had two days.

He needed to get the incense ash immediately, and then deal with Viona as soon as possible!

…

Inside the Necromancer Association, in a secluded corner in the east, there was a single five-story building.

The Central Federation's investigation team had just entered the building two days ago to conduct a special investigation into the recent disappearance of the holy artifact in the Necromancer Association.

"An entire container?!"

In the investigation team's office, when everyone heard the news, they wondered if they had heard it wrongly.

Someone had taken something from the fallen corridor and even packed it into a container before leaving the Necromancer Association!

Didn't anyone from the Necromancer Association stop them?

If it was during normal times, this kind of thing would already be very ridiculous. It just so happened that this was a critical period and then the holy artifact was stolen.

Could it be related to the disappearance of the holy artifact?

Could it be that the holy artifact was stolen during transportation?

The Central Federation's investigation team was still investigating here and someone openly transported things outside?

Did he really think they were just for show?

The incident immediately caught the attention of the investigation team.

"It's Tan Shuo, a player trained by the Eastern District Federation. We've just conducted a round of questioning on him, and this is the result."

Tan Shuo received a joint inquiry from the superior investigation team and the Eastern District Federation, so he didn't hide anything and confessed that it was Fang Heng.

As for what was in the container, he did not know about it.

Han Dongming, the leader of the investigation team, flipped through the report. Suddenly, his brows twitched.

He heard Fang Heng's name in the report.

At the same time, Han Dongming's heart was filled with doubts.

Fang Heng?

Wasn't that guy trapped in Punoze?

Why would he appear here?

This time, the Central Federation's investigation team had also entered the Necromancer Association to conduct an internal investigation.

The Holy Court had been very close to the Central Federation in recent years. Their high-level contacts were extremely close, and they even had in-depth cooperation projects.

Han Dongming came from the Central Federation. This time, he had brought along two special missions from his superiors.

He wanted to help the Holy Court find the Saintess.

When he saw Fang Heng's name on the investigation report, Han Dongming's interest was piqued.

The Holy Court had always been suspicious of Fang Heng. After all, the investigation before the Saintess disappeared was directed at Fang Heng.

However, during the time when the Saintess went missing, Fang Heng happened to be trapped in Punoze's Frost Hell. In addition, feudal lord Dani and the others were used as scapegoats to attract the attention of the Holy Court, so the investigation of the Holy Court against Fang Heng was temporarily put on hold.

Han Dongming raised his guard.

"Fang Heng might be related to the theft! Find a way to find him immediately and control him. We need to interrogate him alone!"

The room was silent for a moment.

"Ahem."

On the side, a senior investigator, Old Chen, who was over fifty years old, coughed lightly. He raised his head and suggested in a low voice, "Leader, do we need to be more cautious?"

Han Dongming frowned and looked at Old Chen.

Old Chen was transferred over from the Eastern District Federation, so he knew more about the Eastern District.

"Why?"

"You might not know this, but Fang Heng has a close relationship with the North District Federation. Moreover, the Minister had previously informed us that Fang Heng's identity is special, so we shouldn't touch him easily…"

Han Dongming frowned.

"If we arrest him without evidence, I'm afraid it will cause a big backlash."

"Then invite him to assist in the investigation."

Without waiting for the others to raise any objections, Han Dongming stood up and said, "This investigation is an independent investigation by the Central Federation regarding the disappearance of supplies. No matter who is behind Fang Heng, as long as he is indeed a suspect, we have the right to invite him to assist in the investigation. I don't care who is behind Fang Heng, as long as he violates federal law and does something that goes against the interests of the Federation, he must be punished!"

The room was quiet for a moment.

"What are you waiting for? Get to work!"

"Yes, sir!"

…

Night fell.

The sky had completely darkened.

After Fang Heng logged out of the game, he rushed back to the Necromancer Association and prepared to use the trading area in the hall of the dead to exchange his points for blue incense ash.

He should be able to get his hands on things related to necromancy at the Necromancer Association.

Let the professionals handle it.

Knowing that Fang Heng needed to buy materials, the cashier revealed an apologetic expression.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Fang Heng. The blue ash you need is a rare item and has been listed as an A-level Federation military resource reserve. The Necromancer Association only provides one kilogram of it to the public every month. If you need it, please leave your identification information and make an appointment in advance. We will start the lottery at the beginning of the month after the verification is completed. If you succeed, you can exchange up to 50 grams of ash."

So troublesome?

Fang Heng felt a headache when he heard about the complicated procedures.

Next month! There was no time at all!

Moreover, he wanted a lot of incense ash.

Even if he obtained 1 kg, it would still be far from enough.

Forget it, he might as well ask Old Black and Starfish Company and buy from them.

But in this way, time was delayed.

Fang Heng pondered.

According to Ji Xiaobo, the incense ashes had been temporarily detained by the Central Federation as evidence of the theft.

It would be the fastest way to start from there.

He had to think of a way to try again.

Yes, go find Li Qingran and think of a way to get her to help get some incense ash.

Fang Heng made up his mind. He turned around and was about to leave when he saw two tall and burly players walking straight toward him.

"Fang Heng."

The two of them stood in front of Fang Heng and blocked his way. They looked serious and unsmiling.

"Please come with us."

Fang Heng looked at the two of them and frowned. He asked, "Who are you?"

A foreigner with short blond hair walked out from the crowd and said, "Mr. Fang Heng, we are a special investigation team established by the Federation Central Investigation Board. We are responsible for investigating the theft of the Necromancer Association's holy artifact. I am the deputy leader of the investigation team, Tabares. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation."

As they spoke, more than a dozen people walked out from the crowd in the hall of the dead and surrounded Fang Heng from all directions, vaguely locking him in the center.

Fang Heng looked at the people around him and frowned.

He was surrounded.

From the moment he entered the Necromancer Association, these people had been hiding in the hall, waiting for him.

He had been in a hurry to exchange for supplies, so although he had noticed something out of the norm along the way, he did not take it to heart.

He was too careless.

"No need. I have something on, so it's not convenient for me to be investigated."

1590 Unity?

"I don't think there's anything more important than cooperating with the investigation."

The two tall and burly investigators still stood in front of Fang Heng, blocking his way.

Fang Heng took two steps back and looked at Tabares. He said, "Heh, it doesn't look like you're inviting me to investigate. What are you going to do if I don't go? Are you going to take me away?"

The few people from the Federation couldn't help but frown as they looked at Tabares.

Using the Central Federation had always been useful.

In the past, when normal people encountered such a situation, how could they not cooperate? All of them obediently followed the investigators. There were also some who ran away without a care for their lives.

However, he had never seen such an unbridled provocation like Fang Heng.

Tabares looked at Fang Heng, feeling at a loss for what to do. He knew that Fang Heng had a special identity. However, the team leader told him to bring him back.

Should he make a move?

Tabares hesitated for a moment before making a decision.

"You've misunderstood. I'm not forcing you to follow us. I'm asking you to go back and assist in the investigation."

Tabares narrowed his eyes and waved his hand.

"Bring him back!"

Whoosh!

Fang Heng quickly took a few steps back. His eyelids twitched, and his palm spread forward.

"Whoosh!"

The Book of the Dead appeared in his hand.

"Chi! Chi chi chi!!!"

Seven dark black chains flew out of the Book of the Dead and hovered in front of Fang Heng, their tips aimed at the people from the Central Federation around him.

There were still quite a few members of the Necromancer Association in the hall of the dead. When they saw someone suddenly take out the Book of the Dead in the middle of the hall, they immediately looked at him curiously.

The Necromancer Association forbade private fights, and someone was openly disobeying?

The person who was attacking seemed to be a powerful necromancer. He could control seven soul chains at the same time. Judging from the degree of materialization of the soul chains, this person's level of necromancy and spiritual power were considered high.

However, he was wearing a hood, so his face couldn't be seen clearly, so it was impossible to tell who he was.

Also, who was the other party?

Tabares did not expect Fang Heng to take the initiative to attack. After the initial surprise, his eyes immediately lit up. The other party had taken the initiative to provoke him, which undoubtedly gave him an excellent excuse!

Seeing that more and more people were looking over, Tabares immediately raised his voice and said in a deep voice that everyone could hear, "I am the leader of the Federation's investigation team, Tabares. I suspect that you are related to the recent theft of the holy artifact from the Necromancer Association. Please return to assist in the investigation of the incident and do not disobey."

When the players in the hall heard this, they took a few steps back.

They had also heard about the recent theft of holy artifacts within the Necromancer Association.

The Federation's matters still belong to the Central Federation. They couldn't afford to provoke them.

Although many people were somewhat disgusted with the Central Federation, most of the people from the Necromancer Association were indifferent to the matter and retreated to avoid being affected.

Then, everyone saw the young man controlling the Book of the Dead slowly take off the hood on his head, revealing his face.

"You said I had something to do with the theft? Do you have evidence?"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh…

Instantly, countless eyes in the hall looked at Fang Heng. Everyone who was retreating stopped in their tracks. For a moment, the entire hall of the dead was filled with whispers.

"It's him?"

"Who is it? You know him?"

"He's Teacher Dickey's student. He's very talented. Not long ago, he was still a newcomer. I didn't expect him to be an intermediate necromancer."

"It's Fang Heng!"

"It's him. I recognize him. I was trapped in the fallen corridor previously. He was the one who helped us clean up the aura of the death realm."

"The World Lord who controls the world of the vampires…"

When Tabares heard the buzzing discussions around him, he didn't know why, but he had a bad feeling.

"Fang Heng…"

Fang Heng did not give Tabares the chance to continue speaking and interrupted, "Do you think I'm related to the theft from the Necromancer Association? Do you have any evidence? You still want to take me away forcefully when you lack evidence?"

As he spoke, the necromancy players who had scattered in the hall gathered again.

The person who was going to be taken away was Fang Heng.

That was different.

Recently, Fang Heng saved the fallen corridor and prevented the aura of the death realm from spreading. His reputation in the Necromancer Association had risen.

Many players started to identify with Fang Heng. In addition, he was Teacher Dickey's student. Instead of looking at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face. Instructor Dickey had many students. No matter what, Fang Heng was still a member of the Necromancer Association.

Fang Heng was bullied by outsiders in their territory? Was this reasonable?

Seeing more and more people gathering behind Fang Heng, Tabares realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Retreat, all retreat! You are obstructing the Central Federation's investigation. If you don't step back, I have the right to detain you!"

A deep male voice suddenly sounded from the crowd, "Detain? So arrogant? Since when can the Central Federation detain us at will with just a word? Today, we're standing here. If you have the ability, detain all of us!"

It was unknown who led the crowd to start jeering.

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and glanced at the middle-aged man who was leading the crowd. He felt strange.

What's going on? Where did this person come from?

He didn't know him!

Why was he even more excited than he was?

"You don't dare? Then get lost! Didn't you hear me? This is the Necromancer Association. We don't have time to cooperate with you on your investigation!"

It was unknown who took the lead, but someone immediately shouted.

"Get out of here!"

"Get lost! Get lost!"

Huh?!

Fang Heng's heart suddenly started to beat fast.

Through the crowd, he saw a very familiar person among the people who were trying their best to stir up trouble.

Fang Heng was sure that he had seen him somewhere before.

For a moment, he couldn't remember.

Hmm?

When he saw the young man standing next to that person, Fang Heng suddenly understood.

Kou Ming!

Fang Heng saw Kou Ming winking at him.

Tabares was caught between two fires. He never expected the people from the Necromancer Association to be so bold.

A riot was about to happen, and if the entire Necromancer Association were to become hostile, he would not be able to bear the consequences alone.

It was unknown who took the lead, but the crowd surged toward the Central Federation's group.

Fang Heng understood Kou Ming's gaze. Taking advantage of the chaos in the crowd, he slowly retreated along with the surging crowd and quietly disappeared into the crowd.

"Fang Heng, I finally found you."

Kou Ming brought Fang Heng to a corner where no one was around.

Seeing Fang Heng appear in front of him unscathed, Kou Ming heaved a sigh of relief.

Ever since Fang Heng had been trapped in Frost Hell, he had been looking for ways to help Fang Heng escape.

Given the kind of place that was Frost Hell, he was helpless.

For thousands of years, no one had ever been able to survive there for so long! There had never been a precedent for it to be opened in advance.

In order to find Fang Heng, Kou Ming could only seek help from his former captain.

After thinking for a while, the team leader quickly agreed to rush over. However, they felt that Fang Heng's current situation was extremely dangerous.

As time passed, Kou Ming's heart sank.

Unexpectedly, a surprise came.

Fang Heng had somehow managed to escape!

1591 In-depth Cooperation

In fact, Kou Ming knew that the Captain had already contacted the Master of Frost Fortress through various means and was ready to open a secret passage to enter Frost Hell in advance to find Fang Heng.

The initial time was set for tomorrow.

However, he had never expected the great news that Fang Heng actually escaped on his own!

Once he confirmed that Fang Heng was really fine, there might not be a need to open the secret passage to Frost Hell.

Unable to contact Fang Heng online, Kou Ming could only travel a long distance to find him offline to confirm his condition.

Kou Ming briefly introduced the current situation of Punoze and their movements during this period of time. He said in a deep voice, "Fang Heng, when I first came here, I met Li Shaoqiang. His identity is rather special, and it's not convenient for him to get involved in the Central Federation's investigation, so he asked me to arrange for you to be rescued in advance. He even asked me to apologize to you on his behalf."

"No need, I understand."

"There's another piece of bad news. We were a step too late. Mr. Mo has already been taken away by the people of the Central Federation for investigation."

Fang Heng opened his mouth.

Mo Jiawei?

No wonder he couldn't contact him just now.

"Mr. Fang Heng, you don't have to worry too much. It's just a normal routine inquiry. The Eastern Federation has already thought of a way to negotiate with the Central Federation. Mr. Mo is backed by the North River Heavy Industry Group. In addition to the pressure from the Eastern Federation, the other party has no evidence to prove that Mr. Mo is related to the disappearance of the holy artifact. There won't be any problem letting Mr. Mo go."

"Alright."

Fang Heng listened and narrowed his eyes. Then, he looked at the Central Federation's people who were trying to maintain order in the middle of the hall. He suddenly had a good idea.

"Mr. Fang Heng, I came to you in such a hurry this time because of something. It's very important and I need to talk to you face to face."

"Hmm?"

Fang Heng was still deep in thought. He couldn't help but raise his head when he heard this.

"What?"

Kou Ming's expression became more solemn as he whispered, "It's about cooperation."

"Aren't we already working together?"

"A more in-depth cooperation. Actually, the person who wants to cooperate with you is a former superior of mine. He also accepted the highest-level talent advancement mission from Teacher Gu Luo and spent a few years completing it. After that, he accepted a mission from the Federation and was transferred to be in charge of other business departments."

"The mission he accepted is the same as yours. After he learned about your matter, he wanted to cooperate with you to complete the talent advancement mission together."

Speaking of Gu Luo's talent advancement mission, Fang Heng felt bitter.

That was a huge pit!

Fang Heng could already imagine the expressions of the people from the Federation after receiving this mission.

Kou Ming's superior was really unlucky.

The Central Federation and the Holy Court had been cooperating more and more closely recently, but the mission they received was to kill the high-level experts of the Holy Court.

Kou Ming saw Fang Heng's strange expression and continued, "Fang Heng, I am very sorry. My former Captain is currently on a confidential mission, and his name is also confidential, so I cannot reveal it. However, he has already entered Punoze and is ready to meet you at any time. In addition, please believe that he can provide you with even greater help. In fact, if you had not appeared, we would have already prepared to enter the Frost Hell in advance to look for you."

"Hmm?" Fang Heng's eyes were filled with surprise as he asked, "Isn't the Frost Hell already closed?"

"Yes, it's already closed. It's a friend of my former superior. He has contacted the feudal lord of Frost Fortress and can think of a way to open a secret passage into Frost Hell."

Fang Heng's eyes narrowed into slits. In this way, they could open the passage to Frost Hell from the outside. This way, he could leave Frost Hell ahead of time.

Under ideal circumstances, he could even figure out what was sealed at the source of the Frost Hell…

There were still many uncertainties in the plan to kill Viona.

If he could figure this out, the success rate would be greatly increased!

"Alright, help me tell your former superior that I'm very happy to cooperate with him. I already have a preliminary plan. Before that, I need them to do me a favor."

Fang Heng leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Kou Ming's eyelids twitched when he heard that. His eyes flickered with surprise as he asked, "More? Didn't you already…"

Fang Heng interrupted, "Time is tight. We need to do it as soon as possible. Can you do it tomorrow morning?"

Kou Ming thought for a moment and nodded. He said, "I'll immediately report back to the Captain and guarantee that it'll be completed on time."

"Yes."

"I'll report to my superiors first…"

Kou Ming was a little anxious. After agreeing, he turned around and left.

"Wait!"

Fang Heng pulled Kou Ming back and asked, "I also heard that in order to investigate the theft of the holy artifact, the remaining materials in the warehouse that originally stored the holy artifact were temporarily sealed by the people of the Central Federation as evidence, right?"

"Uh…"

Kou Ming did not expect Fang Heng to ask this question. He recalled for a moment and said, "Indeed, I've heard some things. The materials stored in the holy artifact warehouse are temporarily handed over to the Central Federation to guard as evidence at the scene. The investigation team also brought quite a number of people this time."

"Do you know the exact location?"

"I don't know the exact situation yet. I can think of a way to find out. It won't be a problem to get the location."

Very good, that would be convenient.

Fang Heng licked his lips and quickly formulated a battle plan in his mind.

Kou Ming saw the familiar look in Fang Heng's eyes and couldn't help but ask, "You want to…?"

"It's nothing. You were the one who got those people here just now, right? Not bad. I still need your help."

"Yes, please say it. As long as it's within your means."

Fang Heng leaned over and whispered something into Kou Ming's ear.

"What? This…"

Kou Ming found Fang Heng's words a little strange, but he soon understood something. He looked at Fang Heng with surprise in his eyes. He said, "You want to…"

"Just do this well. The rest has nothing to do with you."

"Alright, I understand. Leave it to us."

Kou Ming knew what Fang Heng was referring to, so he immediately nodded and agreed.

…

"How did you end up like this!"

When Han Dongming learned that he had sent people to invite Fang Heng, not only did he not invite Fang Heng back, he even ended up being humiliated, causing him to lose all his face. In the end, he returned dejectedly.

If word got out, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?

Immediately, anger rose in Han Dongming's heart.

Tabares briefly explained the process of capturing Fang Heng.

Han Dongming's brows were tightly knitted together.

He did not expect Fang Heng to be so influential in the Necromancer Association.

Strange, since when did the Necromancer Association become so united?

Han Dongming suppressed his anger and asked, "Where is Fang Heng now?"

"I'm not sure. He took advantage of the chaos and left. We don't know where he went for the time being. We're already looking for him."

"Reporting!"

A scout hurried into the room and reported, "Sir, there's a group of people from the Necromancer Association outside. They're blocking the entrance of the building, shouting that we've illegally imprisoned Fang Heng and the members of the Necromancer Association, and they're asking us to release him."

1592 An Opportunity

"Bang!"

Han Dongming slammed the table heavily and stood up from his seat.

"Are they crazy?!"

Han Dongming had never thought that the normally honest Necromancer Association would be so tough!

They actually dared to barge into their building.

Wait a minute.

Han Dongming suddenly looked at Tabares.

Didn't they fail to catch Fang Heng?

If they didn't catch Fang Heng, why would the people from the Necromancer Association go to such lengths to make a commotion?

Tabares was also a little confused. He was stunned for a moment before he looked at the scout and asked, "Who told them that Fang Heng is now imprisoned by us?"

"I'm not sure. The entire Necromancer Association is saying that we've imprisoned Fang Heng. More and more people are gathering here. The people outside are protesting, shouting for us to release Fang Heng and the people from the Necromancer Association."

Just as he finished speaking, Han Dongming's phone rang. When Han Dongming saw the caller ID on his phone, his expression changed.

He immediately took the phone and said a few words to the other end of the phone with a nod of his head. His face turned pale.

When he hung up the phone, Han Dongming's expression became even uglier.

"What's wrong?"

"The superiors are somewhat dissatisfied with our internal investigation of the Necromancer Association. They think that we have caused a bad influence and want us to investigate as soon as possible and immediately calm the storm."

…

Late at night, the necromancy scholars were still in high spirits at this time.

After learning that Fang Heng had been detained by the Central Investigation Team in a "barbaric" and "rude" manner, a large number of players from the Necromancer Association gathered outside the building where the Central Federation special investigation team was located to protest and cause trouble.

In fact, Fang Heng was doing very well now.

He was wearing the uniform of the necromancy attendant and using a hood to hide his face. He hid among the crowd of protesting people.

Only a small portion of the protestors were sent by Kou Ming. The rest of the people were triggered by Fang Heng's imprisonment and came to cause trouble for the Central Federation's investigation team. Most of them were here to mingle with the crowd.

After Li Qingran received the news, she also brought a group of people over and followed behind the protesting students.

She was very worried about Fang Heng's situation. She had secretly acquiesced to the players' negotiation and even helped them to the best of her ability.

She was also observing the development of the matter.

Most of the necromancy players were still able to restrain themselves. They shouted outside the building in an attempt to negotiate with the Central Federation investigation team.

Both sides began to argue.

The Central Federation's investigation team said that they did not take Fang Heng away.

The person who had been bribed said that he did not believe it. He saw Fang Heng being taken away with his own eyes and asked to go in and check.

Naturally, the Central Federation investigation team would not agree.

Hence, the troublemakers began to incite the masses again, demanding the release of their people.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by everyone, Fang Heng sneaked into the darkness alone. Through the small door at the back of the building, he used the spare key to sneak into the building.

After the Central Federal investigation team moved in, everything left in the warehouse where the artifacts were stored was transferred to the building as evidence.

In the middle of the night, due to the large number of players protesting outside, the guards brought by the investigation team were urgently mobilized to guard the place.

The security of the entire building was extremely lax.

Fang Heng carried two large stone slabs in his hands and went up the stairs to the third floor. Then, he continued forward along the walkway.

He found it.

There were only two normal guards at the entrance of the evidence storage room.

"Who is it? Stop!"

The two guards outside the warehouse were a little upset when they heard the noise outside. Suddenly, they saw someone coming along the passageway with two strange stone slabs in his hands. They immediately became vigilant and took out their guns to aim at the person.

"I told you to stop!"

Fang Heng stopped and slowly placed the stone slabs on the ground.

At the same time, Fang Heng poured his spiritual power into one of the stone slabs.

Swoosh…

A faint light appeared on the stone slab.

"Who are you? Who asked you to come?!"

The two guards stared at Fang Heng, trying to see his real face through his hood.

Who was this guy, and why would he come here in the middle of the night with a stone slab?

"Stop! Don't move!!"

Seeing Fang Heng move again after putting down the stone slab, one of them immediately shouted.

The other person immediately pulled the trigger.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!!!"

The next second, gunshots rang out from the stairwell!

Surprise flashed across the federal guard's eyes. He was sure that the bullet he fired had accurately hit the figure!

However, the attack was ineffective!

A gray-robed figure was rapidly approaching them!

Therefore, he aimed his gun at the fatal part and fired!

The expressions of the two federal guards changed drastically.

The gray-robed man's heart, head, and other critical parts were shot, but he completely ignored the attack!

Swoosh!!

What monster!

One of the guards kept pressing the trigger as he watched the black shadow rapidly approach him. Then, the black shadow suddenly raised his fist.

Not good!

An extreme sense of crisis rose in the guard's heart, and he immediately stretched out his hands to block in front of him.

"Bang!"

A heavy blow!

The guard felt a sharp pain in his hands, and his bones shattered and caved in. Then, a huge force surged in front of him, and his body was sent flying uncontrollably. He crashed into the door behind him, and then his head tilted, and he fell to the ground and fainted.

The remaining guard opened his mouth to shout but was knocked out by Fang Heng's punch.

Fang Heng quickly dealt with the two guards, feeling a little surprised.

The people of the Central Federation, even ordinary guards had the strength of mid-level game players.

Fang Heng pulled the unconscious guard up from the ground and put him aside. Then, he walked back and picked up the stone slab on the ground.

A mobile stone slab that can be engraved with magic arrays.

Fang Heng brought two pieces this time.

One of the magic arrays was engraved with a soundproof barrier magic array.

After the magic array was activated, it could create an invisible barrier in a small area, blocking the sound within the barrier area from spreading out.

Fang Heng admitted that his strength was limited outside the game world, so he could not kill them in one blow. The soundproof barrier could prevent the sound caused by the battle from alerting the people outside.

The second stone slab was used to open the passage to the world of the vampires.

The space in his backpack was very small. Fang Heng did not want to run back and forth here again, so he decided to directly open a small teleportation passage that connected to the real world.

After finding the blue incense ash, he could just pour it in!

He had asked Kou Ming about the Central Federation's lax protection of the evidence room.

After all, there was a strict review process in the entire necromancy internal department. Usually, outsiders would not enter. Moreover, the Necromancer Association had already been robbed once. The holy artifacts had already been stolen, and most of the remaining things were not what the thieves wanted. Therefore, there was no need to strictly protect them.

It was reasonable for the defense to be lax.

This gave Fang Heng an opportunity.

Fang Heng took out the key from the unconscious guard's pocket and opened the door.

He gently pushed open the door.

"Ka ka ka…"

The door made a slight noise.

"Attack!"

At the same time, a few soft shouts sounded!

1593 Ambush

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh Whoosh!!!"

What?!

Fang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted.

Several golden streams of light appeared in front of him!

The moment the door opened, several golden streams of light boomed toward him.

"Bang! Bang Bang!!!"

Several streams of light bombarded Fang Heng's body!

He was ambushed!

There was someone in the room!

And not just one!

They were even from the holy element!

Why would someone from the holy element come here?

He was too careless!

At the moment he was struck by the Holy Light flowing fire, several thoughts flashed through Fang Heng's mind. At the same time, his body was sent flying by the holy attack and slammed heavily into the window of the pathway behind him.

Fortunately, the attack power of the spell was not high.

Fang Heng quickly assessed his injuries and realized that the other party did not continue to attack, so he leaned against the wall beside the window, closed his eyes, and tilted his head, pretending to be seriously injured, and fainted.

"Chi chi chi…"

The undying body effect was triggered, and the parts of Fang Heng's body that had been burned by the holy fire quickly healed.

Inside the room, the three of them stood in a triangle, staring at the intruder outside the door.

The three of them exchanged glances.

Earlier, they had heard gunshots from outside and immediately reacted by laying in ambush in the room.

One of them observed Fang Heng from afar and asked softly, "Did he faint?"

"Or is he dead?"

"If you are hit by the holy fire, you will lose a layer of skin even if you don't die."

In the middle, an elderly man nodded at the two of them.

"Go up and take a look. Think of a way to keep him alive and ask who sent him."

"Yes."

The three of them nodded and activated their holy shields, slowly approaching the place where Fang Heng had fallen.

In fact, the three of them were from the Holy Court. They did not expect someone to invade this place. Judging by the intruder's attire, he was from the Necromancer Association.

And the most troublesome thing was that their hiding here had been discovered.

The people from the sacred study had to go through a registration process before they could enter the Necromancer Association. They had used Han Dongming's connections and used some unusual channels to get into the investigation team.

Once the news that they were here was leaked, the entire investigation team would be in trouble.

"Who are you? Speak!"

"Don't play dead, or don't blame us for not showing mercy!"

The elder was more experienced. He did not get too close and stood some distance away from Fang Heng. He condensed the holy element spell and stared at Fang Heng.

"I'll count to three. If you don't speak, don't blame me for being merciless."

"One, two…"

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, one of them saw the corner of the gray robe on the right side of the fallen man move slightly.

He seemed to have woken up.

"Don't move!"

The three of them quickly shouted and aimed their half-condensed spell at Fang Heng at the same time.

The old man shouted at Fang Heng, "Slowly raise your head! Let us see your face clearly!"

Then, the person leaning against the window slowly raised his head.

Everyone's expression changed, and a reflection appeared in their pupils.

Under the gray hood, a distorted face that had been burned by the fire gradually appeared.

Other than the mouth, no facial features could be seen clearly. It was even gradually distorting.

What kind of monster was this?

The three people from the Holy Court could not associate this face with any monster that they know.

What the hell!

Suddenly, the old man's pupils dilated.

The mouthpart in the middle of the strange face suddenly opened!

A row of sharp fangs appeared from its mouth!

Immediately after, its dense fangs opened rapidly!

The huge crack almost took up the entire face.

The crack spread to the extreme, and the person's body even expanded rapidly!

Until only a huge mouthpart covered in sharp teeth was left on its entire body!

Kunda was extremely shocked. He realized that he had lost control of his body!

He did not know when but he realized that he was in complete darkness!

The two companions beside him were the same. They stood rooted to the ground, unable to move at all!

A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. He tried to struggle, but he couldn't!

He could only watch helplessly as he was swallowed by the huge mouth that was like an abyss!

"Pa!"

Fang Heng's hand landed on the back of Kunda's neck.

Kunda's eyes darkened, and so did the other two beside him. He fainted and fell to the ground.

"Guggle…"

Fang Heng's Eye of Hell Faram slowly closed.

"What a loss. It is unexpected that this thing is actually so useful. If I had known earlier, I would have collected all of it back then…"

Fang Heng could not help but sigh.

Dealing with three scholars from the holy faction at the same time outside the game and not making too much of a commotion was still a little difficult for Fang Heng with his current strength.

Fang Heng thought of a sneak attack at first.

He did not expect the three of them to be so experienced and did not fall into his trap.

Helpless, Fang Heng wanted to use the illusion power of the Eye of Hell Faram to seize the initiative.

He didn't expect the Eye of Hell Faram to be so powerful!

It was actually effective, causing the three of them to fall into an illusion for a long time!

Fang Heng stepped back, picked up the stone slab on the ground, and quickly closed the door behind him. He moved the unconscious people into the room and quickly checked the entire room.

Originally, the room was a large research lab, but it was later used to temporarily store important evidence from the Central Federation's investigation team.

There it was!

Incense ash!

Large sacks of incense ash were stacked in front of the wall at the back of the room, piled up high in several rows.

Fang Heng walked forward, cut open a bag of incense ash with a small knife, and dipped his hand in it to check.

Blue.

The texture was exactly the same as what Ji Xiaobo had shown him in the game.

Very good, he found it.

Next, he only needed to open the passage to the Vampire Apocalypse as soon as possible and bring all the incense ashes back.

Fang Heng rubbed his chin and shifted his gaze to the three holy faction members on the ground.

Only the members of the Holy Court knew how to cast holy spells.

They should be from the Holy Court.

But why were they here?

Was there something important that they were trying to protect?

Fang Heng looked around the warehouse.

Time was tight. He had to move the ashes away first.

Fang Heng moved the stone slab over and laid it flat on the ground.

He poured his mental power into the stone slab, and a scarlet light immediately appeared on the magic array engraved on the stone slab.

"Chi!!!"

A red hole about seven centimeters in diameter appeared on the stone slab.

The space passage opened!

The super-small space passage would not cause too much fluctuation even if it continued to operate for a short period of time. The consumption of spiritual power was also within Fang Heng's tolerance range.

Fang Heng spread his hands forward.

Whoosh!

The Book of the Dead appeared.

"Chi! Chi chi!!!"

Several soul chains extended out from the Book of the Dead and flew towards the layers of sacks filled with incense ashes. They locked the sacks tightly and lifted them into the air before tearing them apart.

"Bang! Bang Bang Bang!!"

The sacks were torn apart by the soul chains!

The incense ashes scattered all over the ground.

For a moment, the room was filled with incense ashes.

A portion of the incense ashes fell into the teleportation channel through the opened passage.

Unfortunately, the opening of the space passage above the magic array was too small. Fang Heng could not throw the bags inside. He could only open the way for transportation and he planned to wait for a while before thinking of a way to sweep the incense ashes into the space passage.

Eh?

This was…

1594 Holy Resurrection

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes as the incense ash bags piled up on the ground were lifted into the air and torn apart.

There was actually a hidden space behind the stacked bags!

Fang Heng's eyelids twitched. He glanced at the three people from the Holy Court who had fainted on the ground and vaguely felt something.

He stopped the Book of the Dead and walked toward the pile of incense ash bags.

Behind him, a huge magic array appeared on the ground.

The people of the Central Federation were hiding here to set up a magic array?

What were they going to do?

Fang Heng became even more suspicious. He stared at the magic array and activated the omniscient eye in his right eye, reflecting the spinning magic array.

What was carved on the ground was a type of sensing magic array.

It was roughly estimated to be a holy system, and it was still being constructed. It was about 60% complete.

On the table beside the magic array was an open sheepskin scroll.

Fang Heng observed it for a while, then walked forward and picked up the sheepskin scroll on the table to read it carefully.

The parchment scroll recorded the detailed layout and operation of the magic array.

With it, Fang Heng could also set up one on his own.

As for the effect of the magic array, it was to find someone.

There were some markings on the parchment, and Fang Heng saw the words 'Viona' on it.

"So I see…"

Fang Heng put down the sheepskin scroll and had some guesses in his heart.

The Central Federation's investigation team had entered the Necromancer Association to investigate in name only. In addition, they had secretly cooperated with the Holy Court.

The people in the investigation team took the opportunity to infiltrate the Holy Court.

The holy realm believed that the disappearance of the Saintess was related to the Necromancer Association, so they secretly sent people to follow the Central Federation into the Necromancer Association to set up a magic array inside the Necromancer Association to try to find Viona.

In order to avoid detection, the Holy Court chose the evidence room that no one usually entered as the location of the magic array.

Indeed, the probability of being discovered was very low.

Unfortunately, he happened to bump into them while he was looking for incense ashes.

"Interesting."

Fang Heng muttered softly.

However, the Holy Court was going to be disappointed. Saintess Viona was not here.

At the same time, Fang Heng secretly raised his vigilance.

The Holy Court had many ways to find Viona.

Fortunately, the Land of Plague was protected by the sacred tree. The people of the Holy Court could not get close to the Land of Plague to set up a tracking magic array.

Otherwise, Viona's location would have been exposed long ago.

As Fang Heng thought about it, he shifted his gaze to the magic array on the ground.

In the middle of the magic array was a square wooden box.

In order to complete the tracking magic array, they needed a central tool.

According to the parchment scroll's description, the wooden box should contain a medium related to Saintess Viona.

Fang Heng was curious.

What could the so-called medium be?

The medium was circled on the parchment, and it was also marked with an important symbol, indicating that it was an important item.

"There shouldn't be any unexpected gains, right…"

Fang Heng muttered and walked to the center of the magic array. He was quite excited to open the blind box.

Taking a deep breath, he bent down and opened the wooden box.

"Tsk…!"

The moment his fingers touched the wooden box, a dark golden light flashed across the surface of the box. At the same time, his fingertips felt numb as if they had been electrocuted.

Fang Heng quickly retracted his hand and switched to the state of sacred study. He reached out and pressed on the wooden box again.

"Ka…!"

The wooden box was not locked, so Fang Heng opened it directly.

A stone with a dark golden glow on its surface lay quietly in the wooden box.

"Hmm? Stone?"

Fang Heng was puzzled. He reached out and held the stone in his palm to observe it.

A fist-sized stone had a few drops of scarlet blood mixed in the middle as if it had melted into the stone.

"Blood…"

The vampire bloodline was extremely sensitive to blood. Fang Heng could sense the slight fluctuation of the holy power contained in the blood.

What was it?

Below the wooden box was a piece of paper.

Fang Heng opened the paper and saw the contents written on it. His pupils constricted.

[Hint: The player has obtained item-magic array ritual blueprint: Holy resurrection.]

[Item-magic array ritual blueprint: Holy resurrection.]

Type: A special ritual blueprint (This ritual cannot be learned. To complete the ritual, a magic array must be drawn with the blueprint and a ritual of no less than 10 people must be held. There is a probability of failure in the ritual.)

Description: By collecting the relevant materials, activating the magic array, initiating the corresponding ritual, and consuming the Origin Stone (containing the blood essence of the resurrected), you can resurrect dead holy units of Tier 5 and above. (Please confirm that the target unit's soul is still alive and the target unit's current state of death. Otherwise, the ritual will fail by default.)

[Hint: The player has obtained item-Origin Stone (Viona).]

The moment he saw the blueprint, Fang Heng's pupils contracted.

Viona!

Resurrection!

Origin Stone!

It wasn't just the holy faction. Other factions also had methods of resurrection.

For example, the vampires had the vampires' sacred tree and the Vampire King's Coffin that could provide resurrection effects.

Fang Heng understood.

For ordinary people, killing them would be enough.

However, dealing with Saintess Viona was not that simple.

He still had to deal with her soul.

Otherwise, Viona would be resurrected.

The good news was that the undead still had some advantages in dealing with souls.

Fang Heng's previous plan was after getting rid of Viona, he would use necromancy to destroy and imprison the soul.

As for now…

Fang Heng raised the Origin Stone again and observed it.

The Origin Stone contained Viona's blood essence.

Fang Heng was certain that the Origin Stone that was in his possession and that the Holy Court had created to revive Viona was definitely not the only one!

"Haha…"

Good stuff!

At this moment, Fang Heng felt like laughing.

With this thing, he could slightly change his preliminary plan, and the success rate could be increased by at least 20%!

However…

It was still unstable. The plan was still missing the most important piece of the puzzle.

He hoped to find the last missing part from the depths of the shady line.

…

Two hours later, in the evidence room, the three people from the Holy Court who had fainted slowly woke up.

Not good!

Seeing the messy room that looked like the end of the world, the three awakened Holy Court members looked at each other and immediately struggled to get up from the ground to look for the magic array.

Fortunately, the magic array was still there.

But…

The old man's expression changed.

Where was the Origin Stone that was used as a medium in the center of the magic array?

Was it stolen?

The three of them looked at each other with ugly expressions.

The Origin Stone.

It was an important item that could awaken the Saintess' power and revive her!

Saintesses were extremely important to the Holy Court, so the entire Holy Court produced a total of 24 of them.

In order to activate the tracking magic array, the holy realm had given them one.

He didn't expect it to be stolen!

The old man stood there and thought for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "It's very likely that it was done by the Necromancer Association. It seems that our entry into this place has already been discovered. This is the Necromancer Association's warning to us. This matter will be kept a secret from the outside world. The two of you stay here, I will go and discuss it with Han Dongming."

"Yes, Sir!"

1595 Fuel

In the same building, in the meeting room on the fifth floor, Han Dongming was currently in a terrible state.

The necromancy players who were making a ruckus outside did not leave. They continued to cause trouble and clamored for them to release Fang Heng.

Release Fang Heng? They had never taken him at all.

Even if Fang Heng was really in their hands, Han Dongming would never let him go just because of this.

This was a matter of face.

Since when did the Central Federation's investigation team need permission from the players of the Necromancer Association to carry out special investigation missions?

If they let him go this time, how could they continue the investigation in the future?

How could they continue their work after letting him go?

"Who is the leader outside? Have you investigated thoroughly?"

The subordinate replied, "Someone deliberately leaked the news. It'll take some time to find the source."

"What about the Necromancer Association? There are so many people blocking the way outside, and they don't care?"

"We've already protested to the Necromancer Association, but they're still in a three-way meeting with the Holy Court and the Federation to discuss the issue of the missing Saintess. The few people in charge of the research association are currently in seclusion to reinforce the magic array. They're ignoring us…"

As he spoke, another investigator hurriedly entered the room and whispered a few words into Han Dongming's ear.

Han Dongming's expression changed drastically when he heard this.

D*mn it!

The members of the Holy Court that he had hidden in the evidence room had been discovered!

"Does the Necromancer Association know about this?"

"Not yet."

"Quick, let them take the things and leave first. Don't make a sound."

"Yes, sir!"

Fortunately, the people from the Necromancer Association didn't notice this.

Perhaps they had found out, but they did not make a sound.

Han Dongming took a deep breath. He had a feeling that someone was manipulating everything!

Was the person who stole the Origin Stone from the Necromancer Association?

To act as a warning?

He knew that Viona had more than one stone. Losing a piece was actually not that important.

Han Dongming felt that the situation was strange and said in a deep voice, "What did they say? Did they see who the attacker was?"

"It's said that the attacker was extremely powerful and proficient in some kind of illusion. The three members of the Holy Court fell into the illusion and didn't see the attacker clearly. However, the attacker didn't kill them or destroy the magic array. He only took the Origin Stone. Therefore, the members of the Holy Court suspect that this attack was a warning from the Necromancer Association."

"Hmm… Illusion…"

Han Dongming hummed lightly and could not help but feel a headache coming on.

Illusion?

In most people's understanding, illusions were an extremely difficult cultivation system.

One could be ridiculously weak in the early stages but ridiculously strong in the late stages.

It was impossible to guard against it, and if one was not careful, one would fall into the illusion and be controlled.

Who could it be?

Suddenly, Han Dongming realized that something was wrong. He turned his head and looked out the window.

He had a strange feeling.

Did the group of troublemakers outside have anything to do with this?

…

The farce lasted until late at night. It only ended when Teacher Pu Shi finished reinforcing the magic array and rushed over to berate everyone.

Teacher Pu Shi was closely related to the Federation. He could be considered a person nurtured by the Federation and had some relationship with the Federation.

However, he did not have a good impression of the people of the Central Federation.

When he left, he only glanced at Han Dongming and the others from afar, his eyes carrying a warning.

Han Dongming's face alternated between green and white. He knew that someone was plotting behind the scenes, but they were not in the right to hide the people of the Holy Court, so they could not do anything.

Han Dongming was not even sure if the Necromancer Association was behind the disappearance of the Origin Stone.

"Captain, do we still need to continue investigating?"

"Investigate, of course! Keep investigating!"

"What about the rest of the people we've invited to investigate? The Eastern Federation has already protested to us, hoping that we will release them immediately."

"Let them go. If we can't catch Fang Heng, what's the use of catching these people? Lock them up for a while longer and release them after 24 hours."

"Yes."

At the same time, Fang Heng had already returned to the game. He had repacked the incense ashes and entered Punoze for quite a while.

The three newly branded undead Bones leaders obediently stood at the corner of the wall.

The game notifications kept flashing on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone spirit imprint failed…]

[Hint: The player's zombie clone has successfully completed the branding of the undead Bones (leader). The creature's level is too high…]

After a period of testing, Fang Heng had a rough idea in his heart.

Including the time that Ji Xiaobo had to rest to control the holy weapon, the black pot, he would be able to brand a single undead Bones in less than half an hour.

After successfully branding three undead Bones leaders, Ji Xiaobo stopped and prepared to rest and recover his energy. He also started to add incense ash as fuel into the black pot.

When he heard Fang Heng say that he had led the fight with the Central Federation in the Necromancer Association, Ji Xiaobo was instantly excited. He wished he could be there to help out when they attacked the Central Federation building.

"Oh? The people from the Holy Court sneaked in and set up a magic array in our territory?"

"Heh, I knew that those bastards from the Central Federation wouldn't come to our side for anything good."

Ji Xiaobo cursed in a low voice, but he didn't feel satisfied. He raised his head and asked, "But Brother Fang, what use do we have for that Origin Stone?"

While Ji Xiaobo was resting, Fang Heng was still observing the great sword in the middle of the cave.

A great sword used for sealing…

What was it?

What was the source of the shady line?

And where did the underground crack lead to…

"Brother Fang, Brother Fang?"

Fang Heng heard Ji Xiaobo's shout and came back to his senses. He turned to look at Ji Xiaobo and nodded, "Hmm?"

"Brother Fang, why did you take the Origin Stone? Can you reveal the reason?"

Fang Heng turned to look at Ji Xiaobo and nodded, "Hmm, since the Holy Court is destined to be uncooperative, why don't we just kill Viona and complete the talent advancement mission? However, this way, it's very likely that we'll have a direct battle with the Holy Court, so we have to be extra careful and prepare more backup plans."

Ji Xiaobo's face lit up.

As expected, he wanted to deal with Viona!

That would be great!

He had long wanted to make a move.

He wasn't afraid of a direct battle.

"So, Brother Fang, you already have a plan? Right?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng turned his head again and looked at the great holy sword in the middle of the cave.

He did have a plan.

It was not so easy to get a taste of the holy realm's Saintess. If he was not careful, he would lose the whole game.

He had to be 200% prepared.

The undead Bones was one of the preventive measures.

"I should be able to suppress Viona for a while with the help of the undead Bones."

Now that he had Viona's Origin Stone, he had a backup plan.

1596 Ancestor's Remains

As for going further…

To ensure that nothing unexpected happened, it was best to find out what the source of the shady line was.

As he thought about it, Fang Heng focused his gaze on the crack under the great holy sword.

The strength that could freeze souls came from this crack.

Affected by the frost aura, the scattered Bones around the crack were covered in a thin layer of frost.

Bones!

Right, the City Lord's ancestor, the frost-white Bones, lived not far from the great holy sword.

Through Kou Ming, Fang Heng knew that the Federation had already found a way to open the secret passage to Frost Hell ahead of time.

At that time, he could leave through the secret passage.

When he leaves, he could take the Bones with him and complete the mission to find the ancestor's corpse issued by the owner of the Frost Fortress.

Fang Heng had a hunch that this mission might be related to the secret of the source of the shady line.

However…

How could he get the Bones out?

Unfortunately, the Bones was located at the inner edge of the barrier created by the great holy sword.

He had to try!

Fang Heng switched to his holy form and stepped into the area enveloped by the Holy Light again.

They arrived in front of the bones of the City Lord's ancestor.

He was less than five centimeters away from the Bones, but he was blocked by the Holy Shield and could not touch it.

What could break through the defensive barrier?

Fang Heng looked around, then lowered his head to look at the defensive barrier, deep in thought.

Ji Xiaobo finished injecting the blue dust into the Bones and prepared to use the next wave of spirit imprints on Bones.

When he saw Fang Heng standing there in a daze, he could not help but wave his hand and shout, "Brother Fang, I'm done. We can start our operation."

"Yes."

Fang Heng didn't turn around. He continued to stare at the holy barrier in front of him and asked, "Do you know of any way to temporarily break through this holy barrier?"

"It can't be, right? This defensive shield is too powerful."

"Or can we think of a way to extract the Bones?"

Ji Xiaobo also went to the outermost layer of the Holy Light and looked inside, shaking his head.

He had never seen the strength of the great holy sword before.

It was impossible to break it.

"It's useless, Brother Fang. The defensive barrier strength is too strong. Just the external fluctuations can stop the undead Bones leader. The internal barrier is hundreds of times stronger than the external barrier."

"Hmm? What about attacking from the inside?"

"Internally?" Ji Xiaobo blinked, confused. He continued, "How to do that? Are you saying that you can use the undead spell to resurrect Bones? And let it walk out on its own? In theory, the moment it is resurrected, he would be instantly shattered by the holy aura…"

"Hmm, that makes sense!"

Suddenly, Fang Heng's eyes lit up as he looked at Ji Xiaobo with admiration.

"Your idea is very good."

"Hmm? Brother Fang, what did you say? What idea?"

"According to your thinking, since we can't enter the barrier and take it out, we should think of a way to make the corpse come out on its own."

"Huh?"

Ji Xiaobo looked at Fang Heng, dumbfounded. Did he really say that?

Soon, under Fang Heng's control, more than 30 zombie clones staggered to the edge of the physical barrier created by the great holy sword and took down the multi-functional alloy shovel tied to their waists.

The zombie clones picked up shovels and started digging.

"Crack!"

The alloy shovel hit the ground, making a hard collision sound.

It worked!

After years of being baptized by the cold aura, the soil below the cave had become hard and frozen.

With the help of the alloy shovel and Fang Heng's zombie clone's high strength attribute, he could still dig.

It was just that the efficiency was a little slow.

Ji Xiaobo watched the zombies with his mouth agape.

How could it be like this?

With the great holy sword as the center, the surrounding barriers condensed into a three-dimensional circular barrier area.

Therefore, as long as the zombie clones dug a large pit under the edge, they would be able to dig out the hard frozen soil under the corpses.

Theoretically, the Bones at the edge of the barrier would fall down due to gravity.

Really?

Ji Xiaobo wasn't in a hurry to imprint the ice bones, and he stayed outside the area enveloped by the holy aura to observe.

Half an hour later, Ji Xiaobo stood in the distance, looking at Fang Heng silently.

Fang Heng's plan seemed to have a slight flaw.

Ji Xiaobo whispered, "Brother Fang? It doesn't seem like it's going to work?"

The ground was affected by the aura of the source of the shady line, and it was frozen hard. Although the zombie clones had dug a big hole below, the frozen soil was attached to the frozen soil and could not fall down.

"It hasn't started yet."

Fang Heng took half a step forward as he spoke. He stood still against the Holy Light barrier and looked at the countdown on his retina.

"Three, two…"

Sizzle!

At the same time the countdown was completed, magic arrays appeared around Fang Heng, and the Lickers attacked from the magic arrays!

Accompanied by the wails of the zombies, greenish-gray palms stretched out from the hard frozen soil!

[Hint: The player's zombie clone (Licker) and zombie clone have been revived.]

A few zombie clones that were randomly resurrected in the central area of the great holy sword barrier had just reached out their hands from the soil. Before they could completely climb out of the ground, they were immediately sent flying by the holy barrier or exploded on the spot!

Bang!!

The zombies that were still in the frozen earth exploded or were sent flying, directly causing a small area of frozen earth in front of them to shatter!

"Hualala…"

Following that, a small piece of frozen earth in the air instantly collapsed!

Even the corpses on the frozen ground fell into the hole dug by the zombie clones!

Amazing!

Ji Xiaobo waved his fist at the sight, his eyes filled with excitement.

There was actually such an operation!

Fang Heng saw that the skill was effective and was also happy. He jumped down from the hole dug by the zombie clones at once.

The corpses had become extremely hard after being affected by the frost aura, and they were even frozen together.

Fang Heng looked at the golden ring on the skeleton's finger and tried to touch it.

A series of game notifications appeared on his retina.

[Hint: The player has discovered an unknown corpse. The player has triggered a mission-Ancestor's remains.]

Mission title: Ancestor's remains.

Mission description: You have discovered a corpse while exploring the Frost Hell. Judging from the golden ring on the corpse's hand, the corpse is most likely the remains of the ancestor of the City Lord of Frost Fortress. You have heard that the City Lord of Frost Fortress is issuing a mission to search for the corpse of the ancestor.

Mission requirement: Bring the frozen corpse and the golden ring out of the Hell of Ice and hand them over to the City Lord of Frost Fortress.

Mission reward: Follow-up mission, special points reward.

Done! Mission triggered!

And it was just as he had guessed.

From the mission description, there was indeed a follow-up to this mission!

And it was very likely related to the source of the shady line!

Next, he only needed to bring the ancestor's remains out of there.

1597 Start Cooking

Fang Heng looked at the mission description and called two zombie clones to start packing the corpses. He then turned to look at Ji Xiaobo, who was still in a state of surprise.

Ji Xiaobo thought Fang Heng was a genius as he uttered, "Brother Fang? This could work?"

"Of course, the domain of the holy barrier is a three-dimensional circle."

Fang Heng said as he jumped out of the hole. He patted the dust off his pants and shifted his gaze back to the black pot in front of Ji Xiaobo.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's begin. I'll cooperate with you to start branding the spirit imprint."

"Yes!"

Ji Xiaobo's face was filled with even more excitement. The thought of dealing with the Holy Court filled him with motivation.

"Start cooking! Burn!"

As he spoke, Fang Heng had already walked out of the area enveloped by the Holy Light.

When the time was up, skinny hands stretched out from the hard frozen soil.

The zombie clones crawled out of the ground with difficulty and slowly gathered behind Fang Heng.

About 600 zombie clones squeezed into the cave!

With their help, the efficiency of branding the undead Bones leader would definitely increase!

It was time to work!

Fang Heng nodded at Ji Xiaobo.

He had made an agreement with Kou Ming that the secret passage to the Frost Hell would open at 10:30 tomorrow morning.

Before that, he had to try his best to brand all the leaders of this batch of undead Bones with his spirit imprint!

"Brother Fang, let's start!"

Ji Xiaobo saw the large number of zombie clones summoned by Fang Heng, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited. He nodded and greeted them, then focused on controlling the black pot.

"Come! Begin!"

Blue mist spread out from the holy artifact, the black cauldron, and attached itself to an undead Bones Boss in the cave, trapping it in place.

Following that, zombie clones gathered toward the undead Bones Boss under Fang Heng's control. They formed circles around the Boss and squeezed together, casting spirit imprints on the Boss one after another.

Dense game notifications began to refresh.

[Hint: Your zombie clone is branding the undead Bones (Leader).]

Fang Heng did not participate in the branding of the spirit imprint personally.

The zombie clones were enough.

While the zombie clones were casting their spells, he couldn't help but look in the direction of the cave's exit.

Due to the mist effect of the black pot, a large portion of the frozen vengeful spirit leaders were stuck outside the door.

If he wanted to leave this place, he still had to think of a way to deal with this group of frozen vengeful spirits.

It was not difficult. Fang Heng already had a plan.

"Whoosh! Whoosh Whoosh!!!"

At the edge of the cave, the soul fire in the eyes of the undead Bones Bosses that Fang Heng had branded with his spirit imprint suddenly lit up and flickered.

The undead Bones Bosses slowly walked toward Fang Heng.

Ji Xiaobo, who was controlling the black pot, paused.

Why did he suddenly control the undead Bones Bosses?

"Brother Fang? What's wrong?"

"It's fine. You can continue. Don't worry about me. I'm testing something."

Fang Heng reached out his hand and pointed at a frozen vengeful spirit Boss in the direction of the cave's exit.

"Go!"

The Ice Bones' pupils were filled with soul fire. They took a step forward and raised the ice soul slaying blade in their hands, charging toward the frozen vengeful spirit leader that Fang Heng had pointed out!

"Hu!!"

The ice soul slaying blade, which was imbued with ice-blue soul fire, slashed through the air!

The blade could also work on soul lifeforms!

The leader of the frozen vengeful spirits was injured. It let out a sharp cry and immediately spread out a visible spiritual shock wave!

Bang! Bang! Bang!!!

For a moment, the souls exploded one after another, and ice shattered.

Fang Heng quickly retreated to avoid being affected by the aftershocks of the battle.

Both of them were leader-level creatures. If both sides fought one-on-one, neither of them would be able to do anything to the other.

However, Fang Heng's Ice Bones had the advantage in numbers!

More than ten Ice Bones leaders surrounded one of the frozen vengeful spirits and slashed at it.

Good heavens.

Ji Xiaobo's heart tightened as he watched the intense battle outside the cave. Was Brother Fang already using the undead Bones leaders to farm monsters?

Fang Heng stood at the back and took out the Book of the Dead, carefully observing the battle.

Commander-level lifeforms had extremely high HP and various resistance bonuses.

Both sides had AOE control skills.

The Ice Bones leader besieged the frozen vengeful spirit for more than ten minutes before the frozen vengeful spirit's HP was completely reduced.

"Roar!"

The leader of the frozen vengeful spirits let out a shrill cry and exploded on the spot!

"Bang!"

The soul shockwave from the explosion spread out rapidly!

Even Fang Heng, who was standing in the cave, was affected by the aftershock of the impact. A red number -8000 floated out of his body.

Ji Xiaobo had a special item on him. When the shockwave passed through his body, a blue light appeared and absorbed the damage.

"F * ck… How terrifying…"

Ji Xiaobo didn't know if he was lamenting the frozen vengeful spirit leader or the undead Bones leader that Fang Heng was controlling. He patted his chest and continued to control the black pot in front of him.

After the leader of the frozen vengeful spirits was defeated, a floating Shrine of Bones appeared in front of Fang Heng.

Whoosh! Whoosh!!!

The white undead aura left behind by the frozen vengeful spirit was absorbed into the Shrine of Bones.

The game notification refreshed on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has killed the frozen vengeful spirit (Leader). The player has obtained soul ice crystal (super-level)*7, ice soul crystal.]

Very good, he received the soul ice crystals.

This thing could also be exchanged for points from the City Lord after leaving Frost Hell.

Previously, the soul ice crystals he had collected in Frost Hell were mostly fragments and low-grade ones, with very few intermediate-grade ones.

After killing the commander-level creature, it dropped a super-level one.

Fang Heng wasn't sure about the exact price, but he guessed that it shouldn't be low.

As for the ice soul crystal, it was an extremely rare material. As long as a player wore it on their body with a rope, it would increase their fire resistance. It was very convenient.

Fang Heng had seen the requirement on the exchange list of Starfish Company.

It was quite expensive.

Fang Heng then looked at the situation of the leaders of the Ice Bones.

After a round of battle, the leaders' HP had decreased.

Most undead creatures wouldn't suffer from the various negative effects of losing HP, such as blood loss, weakness, and physical exhaustion. They also rarely enjoyed positive effects such as enrage, daredevil, and near-death explosions.

In the depths of Frost Hell, where the shady line originated, their HP was still slowly recovering.

Unfortunately, the speed of recovery was too slow.

They had to speed up their recovery speed, or else they would not be able to last long in battle just with the Ice Bones.

Fang Heng took out the holy artifact, the Shrine of Bones, again.

The Shrine of Bones was currently in a damaged state and had three awakening skills.

One of them was purification!

He was able to absorb the aura of the death realm and the aura of vengeful spirits, unclean aura, and other auras, and purify them into the undead aura.

After that, the undead aura needed to be converted and purified into a high-concentration death aura under Fang Heng's control.

Fang Heng could directly absorb both of them and convert them into experience points for the necromancy learning skill.

In comparison, the increase in the death aura was more efficient.

In addition, the death aura could also be absorbed by the undead creatures, accelerating the recovery of the undead creatures' HP and even slightly increasing the abilities of the undead creatures.

The efficiency of the Shrine of Bones in converting ordinary, similar to the aura of the death realm and unclean aura was not high, but the conversion efficiency of absorption of the aura left behind by vengeful spirits was extremely high!

Chi! Chi chi chi!!!

For now, he would leave the leveling up of necromancy aside and focus on speeding up his efficiency.

Fang Heng thought as he activated the Shrine of Bones.

Purified death aura overflowed from the Shrine of Bones and flowed toward the Ice Bones.

The game notifications refreshed again.

[Hint: The undead Bones leader you are controlling has absorbed the death aura, and its HP has recovered rapidly…]

[Hint: Your zombie clone's spirit imprint has failed. You can try to upgrade it…]

Fang Heng continued to release the aura of the death realm for three minutes. When the HP of the undead Bones recovered, he continued to control the undead Bones to attack the next frozen vengeful spirit Boss.

There was not much death aura that could be stored in the Shrine of Bones.

Fang Heng did a quick estimate and confirmed that it was enough!

Theoretically, as time passed, the number of undead Bones Bosses he controlled would increase. The amount of HP the Bones Bosses would lose in battle would also decrease, and the amount of death aura consumed by the Shrine of Bones would also decrease!

By killing the frozen vengeful spirit Boss, one could also replenish the aura of death.

In the end, it could form a perfect cycle!

Fang Heng clenched his fists.

Very good!

Continue!

Work!!

…

The next day, on the outer wall of the Frost Hell, in an inconspicuous corner, a narrow opening appeared in the steel wall.

The sudden opening of Frost Hell was a secret, and outsiders did not know about it.

A group of more than ten people stood not far from the entrance of Frost Hell.

The bone-chilling wind blew through the cracks in the steel wall.

Kou Ming had already downed the seventh bottle of cold-resistance potion.

He was still shivering from the cold, and his gaze occasionally shifted to the three people standing by the steel wall in front of him.

One of them was his former captain, Xu Xun.

Other than Xu Xun, there were two players in necromancy attendant uniforms standing on either side of him.

The woman on the left whispered, "Xu Xun, we've been waiting for two hours."

"Yes."

Xu Xun looked into the inside of the Frost Hell and nodded his head imperceptibly.

In order to convince the City Lord to open the gates to Frost Hell, the three of them spent a lot of effort and mission points.

The woman, Milani, couldn't help but ask, "Xu Xun, I want to know what our chances are this time."

"Indeed, Xu Xun, I also want to know," another short and skinny old man followed and asked, "Don't look at me just because I'm old. If there's hope, I still can't help but want to give it a try."

As the two spoke, they shifted their gazes to Xu Xun.

Both of them were high-level players who practiced the study of necromancy and had been famous for a long time.

Coincidentally, just like Xu Xun, they had disappeared from everyone's sight for a long time.

After they received the news from Xu Xun, they immediately rushed over to meet up.

Helplessly, they had been tricked by Gu Luo's mission for too long.

Xu Xun whispered, "Yes, I've seen his information. From his current strength, he might still be a little lacking. However, his potential is the strongest among all the people I've seen. Moreover, he's Teacher Dickey's student. Most importantly…"

"What?"

Xu Xun lowered his voice and whispered, "And he already has a plan to complete the mission."

The short old man's tone was calm as he spoke, "Is that so? Young people always don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. As for you, Xu Xun, you seem to believe him very much."

"Gu Luo is also very optimistic about him."

The old man was stunned.

He shook his head and replied, "I've been disappointed too many times. I hope you can give me a surprise this time."

Everyone fell silent again.

They waited for more than two hours.

The cold wind in the Frost Hell gradually intensified, and even tiny snowflakes fell from the sky.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the wind and snow ahead.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

It was Fang Heng!

Kou Ming's expression brightened when he saw the person clearly. He waved his hand and shouted excitedly, "Fang Heng! It's Fang Heng! He's out!"

Xu Xun and the other two looked at the figure who was moving quickly in the snow, and their expressions changed slightly.

To be able to stay in Frost Hell for so long by himself, one could tell how powerful he was.

"What's that? Licker?"

The skinny elder noticed the group of Lickers following behind Fang Heng, and his eyes revealed some doubt.

Was it a creature brought out from the Zombie Apocalypse?

Looking closely, there were more than 20 Lickers following behind Fang Heng.

The Lickers were tied with ropes, and the other end of the rope was connected to three large metal boxes.

They dragged three large boxes and moved quickly on the ice and snow.

"Quick, follow me up to receive them!"

Seeing this, Kou Ming waved his hand and led a small team of more than ten people to the entrance of Frost Hell to receive him.

Fang Heng heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Kou Ming and the others waiting outside the entrance.

After opening the secret passage, the negative soul-freezing effect in Frost Hell weakened.

With the help of potions and his high physique attributes, plus the super recovery effect of his undying body, he could completely resist it.

It was easy for him to leave Frost Hell alone.

The trouble was that he still had to bring along the supplies.

Yesterday, he and Ji Xiaobo had been working hard for the entire night, and only three hours ago were they able to successfully brand 70% of the undead Bones leaders.

By the time it was daytime, Ji Xiaobo could no longer hold on and fell asleep.

The remaining frozen vengeful spirits that were gathered outside the cave were mostly cleared by the undead Bones Boss under Fang Heng's two-pronged operation.

In one night, the leader of the frozen vengeful spirits dropped a large number of the highest-level soul ice crystals and ice soul crystals.

These were all good things that could be sold for money or exchanged for points!

Thus, Fang Heng packed all of them into boxes and used the Lickers to transport them. He planned to bring them out of Frost Hell and hand them over to the City Lord to exchange for points.

The ice crystals filled up two large boxes.

The last box still had to store the remains of the City Lord's ancestor.

In short, he was fortunate to be alive. Everything was settled.

"Fang Heng, this is the person I told you about, my former captain."

Kou Ming was the first to step forward and introduce the three people behind him to Fang Heng.

Fang Heng looked up at the middle-aged man with a serious expression and nodded.

"I am Fang Heng."

1599 Planning

"Mr. Fang Heng, I'm Xu Xun. I'm currently on a secret mission for the Federation. These two are my friends, Milani and Imre. Their identities are sensitive, and it might cause unnecessary trouble if they were leaked."

"Yes, I understand."

Xu Xun gave Kou Ming a look, and the latter immediately understood. He led a group of people behind him to receive the boxes that Fang Heng had transported out of Frost Hell.

"We've all accepted the talent advancement mission from Teacher Gu Luo. Killing the higher-ups of the Holy Court is extraordinary. Even if it's just a plot, it will cause a lot of trouble if the news gets out. For safety reasons, this cooperation is limited to the four of us. These two are my friends, and I can guarantee that they will never leak any information to the outside world."

Xu Xun said as he gestured to the two necromancy attendants beside him.

A short old man and a young woman.

"Alright, I promise I won't leak any information about them to the public."

Fang Heng agreed readily.

If he wanted to complete the mission perfectly, he couldn't do it alone.

He needed help.

For example, this time, he was trapped in the Frost Hell. If Xu Xun did not help him, it would be difficult for him to resist the ice storm outside and escape from the Frost Hell

He did not mind cooperating with him.

Fang Heng asked again, "Is there any progress on the spellcasting materials I asked you to prepare?"

"Yes, we're already preparing. We're still short of a small portion. They will be ready by tonight."

"Fang Heng, aren't you going to tell us about your plan?"

Imre, the old man standing on the right, suddenly interrupted. His tone was calm to the extreme, without any hint of anger.

"Whether it's opening the secret passage to the Frost Hell or finding the materials you want, all of these require time and effort. We don't mind doing a little more, but as a partner, I want to know information related to the mission to ensure that the mission is feasible."

Xu Xun had studied Fang Heng's past, and with the recommendation of his subordinates, he had some trust in Fang Heng.

However, the remaining two still had some doubts about Fang Heng. After all, Fang Heng was too young.

"Hmm."

Fang Heng nodded slightly and said, "Simply put, Viona is in my hands."

Hearing this, the expressions of the three people present changed.

Fang Heng had actually found the Holy Court's Saintess?!

They had expected Fang Heng to have some idea of how to complete the mission, so they agreed to come and participate in this alliance.

However, they never expected Fang Heng to have already gone to this step!

Although the discussion on the official forums about the disappearance of the Saintess was not intense, in actuality, this incident had already spread throughout the advanced gaming circle. Countless eyes were focused on the disappearance of the Holy Court's Saintess.

All forces were looking for Viona.

They had never expected that Viona was actually in Fang Heng's hands.

Milani asked subconsciously, "Where is she?"

As soon as she asked the question, she immediately regretted it.

This question was a bit out of line.

Fang Heng did not mind. He replied, "She's not here now. She's in the Otherworld. It's very safe."

Xu Xun and the other two looked at each other and became nervous.

An unawakened Saintess!

Even in the holy realm, these players were ranked among the top.

Completing the mission was definitely possible.

Moreover, once the mission was completed, it would definitely be considered a cross-level completion, and they would be able to obtain a mission reward of a higher level!

They really saw a shimmer of hope of completing the mission!

The old man asked in a deep voice, "What's your plan? Should we follow you to the Otherworld?"

Xu Xun also added, "Fang Heng, we need to be very careful in our preparations to kill Viona. The Saintess might have left a mark on her body. If we encounter any danger, we will be discovered by the Holy Court. If we are not careful, our situation will become very bad."

"Yes, I know. That's why I want to get rid of Viona at the source of the shady line. The aura in that place is extremely chaotic, and it's difficult for the Holy Court to sense it. Even if they want to investigate it later, it'll be very difficult."

Fang Heng briefly introduced the situation of the source of the shady line, then paused and said thoughtfully, "I'm still planning how to do it. Viona is extremely powerful. In order to prevent any accidents during the killing process, I still need your help, especially in terms of supplies. I can't handle it alone."

"Yes, we will do our best."

Xu Xun and the other two nodded.

The three of them were discussing carefully, trying to make up for the flaws in Fang Heng's plan when they heard an exclamation from the other side.

"Mr. Fang Heng! This, this…?"

Kou Ming looked over in disbelief.

He had just brought his men to receive the supplies from the boxes on the Lickers' backs. After opening the metal boxes, he was dumbfounded.

Two boxes, filled to the brim!

Each box was filled with the highest tier of soul ice crystals and expensive ice soul crystals!

Kou Ming and his subordinates looked at Fang Heng with surprise.

That was the highest tier of soul ice crystal!

Only creatures that lived in the Frost Hell and had reached the mutated or leader level would drop it!

So what was Fang Heng doing in Frost Hell all this while?

Killing Bosses day and night?

Previously, they had worked day and night with Fang Heng on Frost Hell's Open Day. Together with the Rand Chamber of Commerce, they had brought out nearly a hundred boxes of low-grade and intermediate soul ice crystals from Frost Hell. At that time, it had even caused quite a stir!

However, the total value of these soul ice crystals was not as high as a handful of high-tier soul ice crystals that he could casually grab from the box.

Xu Xun and the other two also saw the highest tier ice crystals in the metal box from afar, and their eyes flashed with surprise.

So many high-tier soul ice crystals.

How did he do it?

Even if the three of them joined hands, they would not be able to get so many!

When Milani came, she had some doubts about Fang Heng's ability. Now, her doubts had been reduced by more than half.

"I got lucky and used some tricks."

Fang Heng explained casually and waved his hand at Kou Ming, signaling him to continue working. Then, he nodded at Xu Xun and said, "I need to immediately go and find the City Lord of Frost Fortress to complete a mission. At the same time, I need to figure out the secret of the source of the shady line. I think I might need it to deal with Viona."

Milani nodded and said, "Alright, I know a little about the Frost Hell mission, and I have some friendship with the City Lord. I'll go with you."

"Thank you."

Imre said, "I know of a special magic array ritual that can suppress the power of the Holy God. It can prevent accidents from happening when killing Viona. However, I need some time to prepare."

"Can you make it by tomorrow?"

Tomorrow?

So fast?!

When everyone heard this, they were instantly stunned.

Imre thought for a moment and nodded.

Xu Xun glanced at Fang Heng and said, "Then let's split up. Fang Heng, I'll keep an eye on the materials you need. Once it's done, I'll get someone to transport them over."

"Alright, sorry to trouble you."

The four of them had a simple discussion before splitting up.

1600 The Past

Frost Fortress.

A fortress built along the outline of a mountain range.

A few soldiers of Frost Fortress in green armor led the way.

"The master of Frost Fortress, Hornlow, is a serious elder. I received a few long-term missions related to him in the past, and after successfully completing them, my friendship with him increased to a tier. I was able to meet him after that."

Milani gave Fang Heng a general introduction to the situation in Frost Fortress.

Behind the two of them, several undead elite Bones summoned by Fang Heng dragged a packed iron box along.

Under the lead of the soldiers of Frost Fortress, Fang Heng and Milani entered the hall.

The steward of the fortress had received the news in advance and rushed over.

"Madam Milani, Master is resting in the study now. You know that he prefers to be alone in the afternoon. If it's not an urgent matter, it's best not to disturb him."

Milani looked at Fang Heng beside her.

Fang Heng took half a step forward and introduced himself, "I'm Fang Heng. I found something in Frost Hell. I heard rumors that City Lord Hornlow is looking for it."

"If you're referring to the exchange materials found in the Frost Hell, then just give them to me."

The steward noticed the few boxes behind Fang Heng and waved his hand.

A few soldiers of the Frost Fortress walked forward and took the box from the undead Bones.

The box was rather heavy and was tied tightly with rope.

After spending some effort to open the box, these soldiers were visibly shaken immediately and they let out soft cries of surprise.

"High-tier ice crystal!"

Such a crystal clear soul ice crystal that flickered with a frosty luster.

It was definitely a supreme-grade soul ice crystal!

And it was filled to the brim!

Were they all taken out from Frost Hell?

When the steward saw this scene, he also revealed a surprised expression and looked at Fang Heng.

Was this the person trapped in Frost Fortress?

There was actually someone who was unaffected by the berserk aura of the Frost Hell during its sealed period, and he could even obtain so many high-tier crystals?

How did he do it?!

If so many crystals were to spread to the outside world, it would definitely cause a frenzy in the outside world.

The steward's attitude immediately improved and he nodded at Fang Heng.

"Please rest here for a while. After the crystals are counted, the City Lord will personally meet you."

As he spoke, the steward gestured for the soldiers to start counting. At the same time, the soldiers opened another box.

When they opened the box and saw the frozen corpse lying inside, everyone was stunned.

That was…

Corpse?

What the hell was this corpse? What was he trying to do by bringing it here?

The soldiers were confused.

The steward stared at the corpse.

After confirming the golden ring on the skeleton's hand, the steward's eyes turned from doubt to surprise, and finally disbelief.

He turned back to Fang Heng and confirmed with him, "Have you been to the source of the shady line?"

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded lightly.

Someone had actually been to that place!

Moreover, he even brought out the remains of the City Lord's ancestor!?

The steward was extremely shocked. He changed his previous attitude and bowed respectfully to Fang Heng, "Please follow me, Mr. Fang Heng. I'll bring you to see the City Lord immediately."

Seeing this, Milani couldn't help but sigh.

She was also shocked when she saw the corpse just now.

She had thought that the boxes were filled with the highest level of soul ice crystals. She did not expect Fang Heng to even get his hands on the corpse of the City Lord's ancestor.

No wonder the steward's attitude changed so much.

In fact, he was already in good friendship with the City Lord. The steward's attitude towards her was respectful on the surface, but there was still a hint of arrogance hidden.

Fang Heng and Milani followed the steward to the third floor.

The steward stepped into the study room to report and then retreated. He respectfully nodded to the two of them.

"The City Lord is already waiting for the two of you. Please."

Fang Heng walked into the room first.

The City Lord, Hornlow, was already several hundred years old. He was dressed in blue armor and sat in front of his desk. He kept playing with the golden ring he had just taken from the remains, his eyes filled with memories.

"The remains of our ancestor in the Frost Hell have always been a sore spot for my father. I owe you a favor for bringing it back."

Lord Hornlow placed the gold ring back on the table and gestured for Fang Heng and Milani to sit down.

"Please take a seat. Can you tell me in detail where you found the remains? What else did you find?"

Fang Heng briefly recounted what happened in the Frost Hell.

When Hornlow heard about the center of the shady line and the great holy sword, his expression changed.

Fang Heng looked at Hornlow, who was deep in thought, and asked, "City Lord, do you know what the source of the shady line is? Is it a teleportation portal to another world?"

"Yes, your guess is the same as ours."

Hornlow nodded and explained, "The source of the shady line is probably a passage to the Otherworld. A long time ago, the Holy Court discovered this world before us. After they discovered the passage, they realized the threat of the passage, so they wanted to completely cut it off."

"The necromancers came to this world after that. The aura leaked from the source of the shady line is very useful for the study of necromancy."

"The necromancy seniors discovered the Holy Court's scheme. In order to stop them from cutting off the passage, they paid a huge price. My ancestor was one of them. For this, he did not hesitate to give up his life."

Milani also knew about the rumors about the shady line. She added, "Fortunately, we succeeded."

Hornlow glanced at Milani and shook his head. He said, "No, on the contrary, we failed."

What did he mean?

Milani and Fang Heng were stunned.

"The Holy Court arrived at the depths of the shady line before us and began to seal and destroy the source of the shady line. The necromancers wanted to stop them from destroying it, so they started a fierce battle in the underground primitive maze. From the injured people who were transferred out, I learned that they failed and many people died. My ancestor was among them."

Hornlow paused and continued, "However, the people from the Holy Court didn't succeed either."

"An explosion occurred in the karst cave as the underground primeval maze collapsed. At that time, everything was annihilated in the depths of the shady line."

"After the explosion, the shady line aura completely erupted, and the undead creatures that originally lived nearby also underwent a special mutation."

"It's like the Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits that you saw in the Frost Hell, as well as the shady line aura that spread in the Frost Hell."

Fang Heng frowned as he listened to Hornlow's story.

Combined with the crack he saw at the source of the shady line and the great holy sword, a thought came to his mind.

Could it be that the people of the Holy Court originally wanted to use the great holy sword to completely destroy the passageway?

They did not expect that they had underestimated the strength of the passageway.

The sword slashed down, but the passage was not destroyed. Instead, a crack appeared.

A large amount of the shady line aura leaked out from the crack, and even the team from the Holy Court was affected and wiped out.

1601 New Main Storyline

"As the Frost Hell is filled with cold aura and a large number of undead creatures, we are unable to continue exploring the lower levels of the shady line. The people of the Holy Court also gave up because of the annihilation and completely withdrew from Punoze."

"Later on, the undead completely occupied this world. Our family built the Frost Fortress here to prevent the aura of the shady line from leaking out. At the same time, we also protected the source of the shady line for generations."

"Protect?"

Fang Heng was a little suspicious and asked, "To prevent another accident from happening at the source of the shady line?"

"Yes, we're not sure what exactly happened at the source of the shady line, but after that explosion, the aura of the shady line leaked out thousands of times more intensely than before. Frost Fortress was originally established to prevent the shady line from leaking out on a larger scale."

"Of course, this is only one of the reasons. As time passed, the aura of the source of the shady line did not increase."

Fang Heng thought to himself that the reason why the aura of the shady line did not continue to leak out and strengthen was most likely because of that great holy sword.

To some extent, the great holy sword had sealed a small part of the crack.

"There is a second reason why we are staying here."

Fang Heng asked, "A second reason? What is it?"

"For soul essence. This is something that can only be found after the death of a creature in the Frost Hell."

"It can increase the power of undead creatures."

As the City Lord spoke, he looked at Fang Heng and said, "You should know that the undead is a type of creature with a very single attribute. In a head-on battlefield, the soul essence can increase the power of the undead in a very short period of time and give them the ice attribute."

"Therefore, the frost soul essence is of great strategic value to us necromancers."

After explaining the whole matter, the City Lord turned back to look at Fang Heng again. He said, "Now, let's return to the original question. I don't know where the source of the shady line leads to, or what it is exactly. From some traces and past records, I tend to think that it may lead to a special area in the death realm, or it may be an undiscovered world."

"Fang Heng, perhaps you are the first one to enter the depths of the shady line after my ancestor. I see potential in you."

The City Lord looked at Fang Heng.

"I have a mission for you. I hope you can go to the depths of the shady line again to investigate and confirm the situation there."

Several game notifications appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has completed the mission-Ancestor's remains. The player has received 30,000,000 contribution points as a reward. The player's friendship with Hornlow has increased greatly. (Points can be exchanged for rewards at the Quartermaster of Frost Fortress).]

[Hint: The player has gained the trust of City Lord Hornlow.]

[Hint: The player has submitted soul ice crystal (highest-tier)*2,933. The player's friendship with City Lord Hornlow has greatly increased. The player has received 29,330,000 points as a reward.]

Fang Heng was stunned.

50 million points could be exchanged for the highest level of brilliant crystals.

He actually gathered all of them!

Including the first one, he obtained another one after he went to the high-level game world to kill Hell Faram.

All three of them!

Teacher Gu Luo even promised to give him one after he completed the mission.

And now there were even more?

Selling them for money?

Xu Xun and the others had all received the same talent advancement mission. They should also be in great need of this thing, right?

How about an auction? Let the highest bidder get it?

As Fang Heng was calculating, several lines of game notifications appeared again.

[Hint: The player has triggered the special world main storyline mission-Exploring the source of the shady line.]

Mission title: Exploring the source of the shady line.

Mission type: Special main storyline ring mission, can be triggered by multiple people at the same time. Can be triggered by a team. Only one person can complete the mission and trigger all the rewards.

Current mission description: You have learned the story of the source of the shady line from the City Lord, Hornlow.

Mission requirements: Please find a necromancy scholar (character level requirement: S) and gain his trust. Bring him into the depths of the shady line to investigate and obtain information about the source of the shady line.

Mission reward: City Lord's friendliness, necromancy faction reputation, mission progress reward.

Current player's special main storyline mission progress: 17.8%.

Fang Heng looked at the mission notification and was shocked.

It was actually a main storyline mission?

Then, after completing the main storyline mission of this world, would he be able to obtain the authority to belong to this world?

In the past, Fang Heng knew that there was a saying about ownership rights in elementary games, which could be obtained by completing the world's main storyline.

There were cases of players controlling intermediate and advanced game worlds but he had never heard of players gaining control rights through the game.

Milani also received a slightly different mission notification. She couldn't help but glance at Fang Heng. She believed Xu Xun's words even more now!

Fang Heng had the ability to bring them to complete the talent advancement mission!

Unlike Fang Heng, she had already triggered the relevant main storyline mission a long time ago.

However, she did not take the main mission to heart.

All the major player guilds were fighting for the main storyline mission. Milani didn't think she would be so lucky to complete this mission.

Moreover, she preferred to be alone, so she had no intention of getting involved. Therefore, her mission progress was still at 0.01%. She had already given up.

The game had tacitly agreed that she and Fang Heng were teammates and shared information, which led to her mission progress greatly increasing to 9.14%!

Moreover, with Fang Heng's help, she also triggered the next phase of the mission line.

Seeing that Fang Heng had fallen silent, the City Lord continued, "I'm familiar with Lady Garona of the mage tower. I know that she is very knowledgeable about the aura of the shady line. I can write a recommendation letter for you, and I believe that she would be very willing to explore the source of the shady line with you."

[Hint: As your affinity with City Lord Hornlow has reached the limit, you have received a recommendation letter from the City Lord (Garona). Players can use this recommendation letter to find Lady Garona and obtain additional affinity points.]

[Hint: This item can be traded. It will drop after death.]

When Milani saw the recommendation letter, she couldn't help but feel shocked.

With the recommendation letter, Fang Heng's main storyline mission progress would undoubtedly be further accelerated!

How long had it been since Fang Heng entered Punoze?

Not only had he triggered the main storyline mission, but he had also completed at least 10% of it!

One had to know that many guilds were trying to explore this mission.

It had been more than ten years. As far as she knew, many large guilds only had progress of 7% to 9%. Among them, the highest mission completion rate was just close to 20%!

Fang Heng put away the recommendation letter and nodded in thanks, "Thank you. I'll visit you when I'm free."

A recommendation letter?

Main storyline mission?

Let's talk about it in the future.

If it weren't for Viona, Fang Heng would have chosen to complete it on the way to see if he could get some benefits.

But now, time was of the essence!

He had no time to care about this mission.

1602 The Coffin of Disaster

Fang Heng returned to the topic and asked, "City Lord Hornlow, I mean, what if I break the great holy sword at the source of the shady line?"

Hornlow glanced at Fang Heng. He wondered why he was asking this.

"According to your description, I believe that the great holy sword left behind by the Holy Court has partially sealed the source of the shady line. Once the source of the shady line completely dissipates, the entire Frost Fortress might be exposed to the impact of the shady line's aura. Based on the strength of the shady line, the surrounding area will be directly frozen. After that, not only will the entire Frost Hell be under great threat, but even the periphery of our Frost Fortress will also be under great threat."

Fang Heng fell into deep thought.

"Hahahaha, don't worry. When that day comes, there will be a seal inside the Frost Fortress. It's built to prevent the shady line and ice crystals from spreading. It's just that it hasn't been used yet."

"One last thing, City Lord. Is there any way to ensure that you won't be affected by the invasion of the shady line aura?"

Hornlow realized what Fang Heng was planning.

"It's very difficult, but it's not completely impossible. For example, the Coffin of Disaster. It was originally built by our ancestors for us to take refuge during an emergency. If we encounter a sudden crisis, we can hide inside the Coffin of Disaster. The shady line that erupts from the outside world won't affect the inside of the coffin."

"Of course, after you hide in the Coffin of Disaster, you will also lose your ability to move. You can only wait for help from the outside world. Moreover, the defensive ability of the Coffin of Disaster is not strong. It was only built to resist the aura of the shady line. If you encounter an enemy, hiding in the Coffin of Disaster is tantamount to courting death."

Fang Heng asked, "How can I get the Coffin of Disaster?"

"I have two in my hands. I can give it to you, but it's not unconditional. So, Fang Heng, are you willing to use the favor I owe you just now?"

"Yes, thank you. I need to get the Coffin of Disaster as soon as possible."

Hornlow raised an eyebrow, surprised by Fang Heng's decisiveness.

"Okay, I need some time. You can come here tonight to get it from the steward. He will arrange it for you."

"Thank you again."

Fang Heng and Milani got up and left the study.

On this trip, Fang Heng obtained an important piece of information.

The source of the shady line was indeed a dangerous place.

So…

Fang Heng pondered.

He could make some temporary adjustments to his plan.

Milani saw Fang Heng lowering his head in deep thought and hesitated several times.

She remained silent until they left Frost Fortress. She couldn't help but say, "Fang Heng, it's a loss to exchange a favor for two coffins."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng was deep in thought and didn't hear her clearly. He raised his head and asked, "What?"

"No, forget it. It's nothing."

Fang Heng didn't take it to heart and looked at Milani, asking, "You know what? Besides the coffin that the City Lord had mentioned, what else could resist the freezing of the shady line aura?"

Resist the shady line aura?

Milani looked at Fang Heng and frowned.

"No, there isn't such a thing."

Milani had no idea.

Moreover, she felt that Fang Heng's thoughts were too jumpy.

Why did he need to resist the shady line aura?

Could it be…

Wait a minute!

Could it be that he wanted to break the holy sword? Completely liberating the rift?

Milani felt that she could vaguely guess what Fang Heng was going to do.

She could not help but stare at Fang Heng.

Was this person crazy?

And what did this have to do with the plan to kill Viona?

Fang Heng said, "There's still some time. Help me think of another way. This is very important for us to complete our mission."

"Alright, as far as I know, there's no item that can completely resist the shady line aura. I'll find ask a few more trustworthy people for information."

Fang Heng nodded and replied, "Alright, I'll go back to the Tower of Bones to look for Teacher Gu Luo. We'll split up."

The two of them set a time for their next meeting and quickly split up.

Before the plan was carried out, Fang Heng was prepared to go back and meet Teacher Gu Luo.

The true requirement of the mission was to seal the soul of the Holy Court's expert and hand it over to Teacher Gu Luo.

Ordinary soul seals were easy to deal with, but Viona's soul?

It wasn't that easy.

Ordinary containers could not hold the powerful soul of the Saintess!

For safety reasons, he decided to seek out Teacher Gu Luo's help in advance.

…

Outside Frost Fortress, in an alley at the edge of the street, a group of people were lying in ambush.

Seeing a hooded man and woman leave the Frost Fortress, the people guarding the place had a strange look in their eyes.

"He's out."

"That's right! It's him! Fang Heng!"

Even though Fang Heng was wearing a hood, his figure and some subtle movements were recognizable.

The team leader, Hook, confirmed that the target was Fang Heng and immediately waved his hand to signal everyone to hide in the corner of the street, afraid that too much probing would attract Fang Heng's attention.

Hook leaned against the wall, his heart filled with bewilderment.

He had a type of talent since he was young. He could judge whether a person was in disguise from the details of his movement, pace, tone, expression, and even the weight of his words.

Ever since Fang Heng was locked up in Frost Fortress, he had accepted the mission of the Culodi Trading Company to keep an eye on him.

Hook had originally felt that Elder Yatsek was being a little too careful.

Unexpectedly…

Such an almost impossible event actually happened!

How did Fang Heng do it?

In the past, no one had ever been able to leave Frost Hell during the lockdown period!

"Go back immediately and report to the lord!"

"Yes, sir!"

Another subordinate hesitated and asked, "Captain, should we follow?"

"Follow my ass! If you don't want to die!"

"Understood!"

Hook cursed his subordinates for their stupidity.

To be able to single-handedly take down an entire team from their Chamber of Commerce and even come out of the Frost Hell in one piece…

How could Fang Heng be someone easy to deal with?

Hook poked his head out from behind the corner and watched Fang Heng's receding figure. He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Fortunately, he wasn't discovered and managed to survive.

"Captain! Something happened!"

Not far away, a subordinate hurried over. His expression changed drastically, and he looked flustered.

Hook's heart, which had just been relieved, suddenly hung in the air again. He shouted in a low voice, "What is it? Calm down!"

Hook felt that his subordinates were really a bunch of trash.

Fang Heng already left. What was there to be surprised about?

The subordinate steadied his breathing and said, "Captain, when I was waiting for the quartermaster, I realized that the recommendation letter from Lady Garona that could be exchanged suddenly disappeared."

"What?!"

Hook was also shocked and he quicked asked, "Are you sure? Did you see it clearly? Who exchanged it?"

His subordinate's forehead was also covered in sweat. He shook his head and said, "I swear, I've been waiting there. A few minutes ago, I was sure that the item was on the exchange list. When I checked again, it suddenly disappeared. I saw it for real. No one has entered the Quartermaster Hall during this period!"

1603 Revenge

Hook was also shocked when he heard it.

Disappeared into thin air?

How did this happen?

Apart from the few days when the Frost Hell was open, very few people entered the inner castle of Frost Fortress, not to mention the Quartermaster Hall.

During this period of time, the only person who had entered the inner castle of Frost Fortress…

Hook's heart began to beat violently.

Fang Heng!

What a coincidence…

However, Fang Heng had left Frost Hell and entered the Frost Fortress.

After that, Lady Garona's recommendation letter disappeared.

Could it be him?

…

After Fang Heng left Frost Hell, he immediately transformed into the bat form and prepared to go to Catantul to find Teacher Gu Luo.

After spending more than an hour to reach the nearest city, Fang Heng returned to the city through the teleportation array and headed straight for the Tower of Bones.

Teacher Gu Luo was not supposed to be around today.

Under Fang Heng's forceful request, the necromancy attendant brought Fang Heng into the Tower of Bones.

"Teacher Gu Luo."

After entering the room, Fang Heng bowed slightly.

Gu Luo's gaze swept across Fang Heng and nodded lightly. He had a good impression of Fang Heng and had always admired him. That was why he was willing to push aside other matters to see Fang Heng.

"Why are you looking for me so urgently? What trouble did you encounter?"

"Yes, Teacher. It's related to the talent advancement mission."

Gu Luo could not help but frown.

"Fang Heng, you're still too impatient. The greatest advantage of us necromancers is our long lives. This is a protracted battle. It's not bad to be eager for quick success, but it's far more risky than fighting steadily. There's no need to rush. The most important thing is to slowly improve your strength. Slowly accumulate strength, and one day, you'll suddenly realize…"

Gu Luo paused and smiled. He said, "You will find that your enemies have all died because of their withering lives. The trouble in front of you may not be a problem anymore. You can go and take revenge on their descendants."

Fang Heng opened his mouth. That sounded reasonable. However, he only had three days.

Such a big piece of cake was placed in front of him but after three days, the cake would be several times smaller.

It felt like thousands of ants were crawling on his body and he was itching all over internally.

He couldn't take it anymore!

"Teacher Gu Luo, something very important has happened."

Fang Heng took two steps forward and whispered something into Gu Luo's ear.

After Gu Luo heard Fang Heng's words, his pupils dilated by hundreds of times. He looked a little surprised and asked, "You've already taken control of Saintess Viona?"

"Yes, I didn't fail you."

He really did it!

After the initial shock, Gu Luo looked at Fang Heng with a gratified expression.

At first, he did not want Fang Heng to attack the Saintess. He felt that Fang Heng was not strong enough. He did not expect Fang Heng to give him a surprise.

And so fast!

It was much, much faster than he had expected.

What was even more difficult was that Fang Heng was still so young.

Gu Luo was genuinely happy that a promising junior had appeared in the school of necromancy.

Of course, the happiest thing was that Fang Heng was the same as him. Both of them disliked the Holy Court.

In the necromancy faction, they belonged to the 'revenge' faction.

"Teacher, please help me."

"Yes, indeed. Your worries are necessary. Viona is the Saintess of the Holy Court, and her strength is extremely high. Even if her soul has yet to complete the awakening of the Saintess' power, an ordinary soul sealing bottle might not be able to completely seal her."

Gu Luo changed the topic and said, "However, Fang Heng, the soul bottle I provided you is not ordinary. As long as it is not stored for a long time, I can guarantee that there will be no problems with the soul seal if the storage time is limited to 8 hours."

Fang Heng shook his head.

"Teacher, I'm afraid that the power of the soul sealing bottle is not enough."

Gu Luo frowned.

He felt that Fang Heng was being too careful.

"It's enough, Fang Heng. The Saintess' soul has yet to awaken…"

Fang Heng interrupted, "Teacher Gu Luo. What I want to seal is Viona, who has partially released her holy power,"

Gu Luo's expression changed as he stared at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng looked at Gu Luo, his expression unchanged.

He had made a decision and even had a perfect battle plan.

It would be a waste to kill Viona directly.

He had to maximize his advantage!

Ever since he used the holy beam space to seal Sheng Tao in Watts, the seed of a plan had sprouted in Fang Heng's heart.

After discovering Viona's resurrection stone, Fang Heng was completely convinced of this idea.

The awakening of Saintess Viona's soul power required the purification of evil.

What a coincidence.

Wasn't Sheng Tao an evil that used the power of the demon?

From the notebook of the bishop of Watts' Holy Court, it had been confirmed that Viona could activate the hidden power in her body by killing Sheng Tao with her own hands.

Just nice.

He also needed to get rid of him.

Doing it himself might even aggravate the contamination within his body.

Leave it to Viona!

It was a win-win situation.

Killing Viona alone would be a waste.

He would kill her after she awakened part of her power!

Gu Luo's pupils constricted, and he was shocked by Fang Heng's ambition.

For some reason, his heart which had been calm for hundreds of years couldn't help but be excited by Fang Heng's plan.

Gu Luo lowered his head and pondered for a moment before reaching out his hand and flipping it forward.

The pitch-black Book of the Dead suddenly appeared in front of him.

Gu Luo took out three pages from the Book of the Dead.

"This is a special rune paper that can increase the effect of the soul seal. Sticking them on the soul sealing bottle can increase the strength of the seal. Together with them, it's enough to seal Viona's soul."

Gu Luo handed the rune paper to Fang Heng and nodded. He said, "The more sealing rune papers you have, the better. The effect of three is a critical value. If you continue to increase it, the efficiency will gradually decrease."

"Thank you, Teacher."

"You're welcome. I'm also looking forward to the day you complete the mission. Also, a piece of rune paper requires 1 kg of the dust of evil thoughts. You have to promise me that you can't give the rune paper to outsiders."

Fang Heng glanced at his backpack.

Sure enough, he couldn't take the props for free.

He still had to exchange for it.

Fortunately, he still had a large amount of dust of evil thoughts in his backpack after farming monsters with the Rand Chamber of Commerce.

To play safe, he would exchange them all!

"Thank you, Teacher! I need about 300 pieces of rune paper."

Gu Luo was speechless.

[Hint: The player consumed 278 kg of the dust of evil thoughts. The player received rune paper (strengthened soul seal)*278.]

[Hint: This item can be traded. If the player trades this item, it will cause Teacher Gu Luo's favorability to decrease.]

"Teacher, there's one more thing. I want to find an item or weapon that can resist the shady line aura."

"Are you interested in the shady line?"

When Gu Luo heard about the resistance to the cold breath, he thought of the shady line

"Yes."

"I'm afraid I can't help you with this matter. I don't know much about the shady line, and I've never entered Frost Hell. You can go to the other towers and find other teachers to think of a way."

Fang Heng was slightly disappointed.

"Thank you, Teacher."

1604 The Recommendation Letter

Soon, Fang Heng left the Tower of Bones with a backpack full of rune paper.

Going down the stairs, Fang Heng reorganized the entire process of dealing with Viona.

There was still the source of the shady line that had not been cleaned up.

He needed to find an item that could resist the shady line aura.

Time was running out.

Once the time was up, Sheng Tao, who had been sealed by the holy beam space, would break free.

By that time, the entire plan would fail.

Fang Heng pondered and checked his backpack again.

Oh right, the recommendation letter he just received.

He could first look for Lady Garona.

Lady Garona had always been interested in the shady line. Perhaps he could get some useful information from her.

Fang Heng left the Tower of Bones and followed the address on the recommendation letter to the city's teleportation array. He then teleported into the main city of the undead in the world of Punoze.

…

On the recommendation letter, Lady Garona had marked the location of the Undead Research Institute in the center of the main city.

After entering the main city, Fang Heng followed the directions on the map.

A few necromancy attendants were standing at the entrance of the Undead Research Institute.

Upon seeing Fang Heng walk over, one of the necromancy attendants stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Scholar, this is the Holy Tower Research Institute in the central city of Punoze. Please provide your identification."

"I'm here to look for Lady Garona."

"Lady Garona is the honorary president of the research institute. She doesn't want to be disturbed by outsiders. Do you have an appointment or any relevant identification?"

"Is this okay?"

Fang Heng showed the recommendation letter in his hand.

Fang Heng did not think that the recommendation letter was such an important tool. It was just like the invitation letter from the Punoze world.

The moment he saw the recommendation letter, the necromancy attendant's eyes flashed with extreme shock.

However, his surprise was well hidden under his wide hood.

"Oh, you're Lady Garona's guest. I'm sorry, Lady Garona is conducting an extremely important experiment, and it's not convenient to interrupt her at the moment."

"When will the experiment end?"

"It's estimated that it will take three hours later today. We suggest that you take a rest in the guest lounge of the Holy Tower Research Institute. We can provide you with free accommodation, food, and other services. Once Lady Garona completes the experiment, we will inform you as soon as possible, or you can come again next time."

Fang Heng thought for a moment.

Three hours.

He could wait a little longer.

Counting the time, the preparation of the blood for refining the Vampire King's Coffin has been completed.

Taking advantage of this time gap, he would return to the Vampire Apocalypse and wait for the vampire bloodline skill to level up before looking for Garona.

In Fang Heng's opinion, killing Viona was a huge gamble.

Before the gamble began, every increase in his strength meant that he had one more advantage.

"Alright, lead the way."

"Please follow me."

Under the guidance of the necromancy attendant, Fang Heng quickly entered a building on the right side of the Holy Tower's entrance and came to a guest lounge at the end of the second floor.

After closing the door, Fang Heng looked around, took out the invitation letter to the Tower of Bones, and exited the game world of Punoze.

The necromancy attendant carefully closed the door and calmly left. He went down the stairs and entered another guest room downstairs.

The two people in the room suddenly stood up and asked anxiously, "How is it?"

The necromancy attendant reached out his hand.

One of them understood and took out a bag full of broken crystals from his pocket.

The necromancy attendant weighed the bag and nodded with satisfaction. He said, "I've confirmed it. It's indeed Fang Heng. He's the same as the person in the photo you gave me. He's also here to visit Lady Garona. He also has a letter of recommendation from Lady Garona."

Their expressions changed.

It was him!

The news from the Frost Hell was correct!

Fang Heng had escaped from the Frost Hell!

What was even more shocking was that he received a recommendation letter from Lady Garona!

"Are you sure? Are you sure you didn't see wrongly?"

The necromancy attendant said confidently, "Of course, I'm sure. I saw him take out the letter with my own eyes."

"Then have you secured him?"

"Lady Garona left the Holy Tower two weeks ago. I've already brought him to the guest room to rest as you asked. He's now in your room upstairs."

The necromancy attendant saw the excitement in their eyes and glanced at them, warning them, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If you want to make a move, you have to do it outside. If you cause trouble in the Holy Tower Research Institute, no one can protect you."

The two persons from the Culuodi Chamber of Commerce didn't care about the necromancy attendant's warning. Their eyes were filled with joy.

Originally, they had only come with the attitude of trying it out.

They didn't have much hope and even cursed the higher-ups of the Chamber of Commerce in their hearts.

They didn't expect that they would meet Fang Heng here!

"We understand. Help us keep an eye on him. After we're done, we'll pay you ten times the original price!"

"I'll go back and report to the president. You stay here and keep watch."

"Yes!"

…

Fang Heng didn't know that his whereabouts were being watched.

At this moment, the entire Culodi Trading Company was facing a great enemy!

The redeemable item in Frost Hell, the City Lord's letter of recommendation (Lady Garona), has disappeared!

They had always been targeting the shady line of Frost Hell, and the main storyline mission that the Inhumans were talking about!

Lady Garona is related to the shady line aura! It was related to the main storyline mission!

The points required for the exchange were not expensive. With the strength of the entire trading company, as well as some mercenaries, and some money, they could obtain it in three months.

However, in addition to points, the exchange requirement also required the City Lord's friendship.

Friendship was very difficult to deal with.

They couldn't get it at all.

And now, this recommendation letter had been obtained by Fang Heng!

The matter was urgent and the Culodi Trading Company immediately took action.

As a powerful figure in the Culodi Chamber of Commerce, Yatsek once again took charge of the entire operation.

Time was of the essence, and Yatsek did not have time to think about how Fang Heng had escaped from that terrifying place in the depths of the shady line of the Frost Hell.

He knew that Fang Heng had some unique information.

Not only must he get the recommendation letter, but he must also get Fang Heng!

After receiving all the operations authorization from the Chamber of Commerce, Yatsek immediately mobilized the combat forces of the Chamber of Commerce to gather in the main city of Punoze and set up an operation plan.

…

Vampire Apocalypse.

A red blood moon hung high in the sky.

Inside the Temple of the Vampires, all the vampires knelt on one knee around the Vampire King's Coffin.

Fang Heng was submerged in a coffin that was filled with blood.

"Gargle…"

Bubbles continued to emerge from the blood water.

The blood that had been purified by the Vampire King's Coffin was quickly absorbed by Fang Heng's body immediately.

Fang Heng's skin turned faintly red.

On his retina, lines of game hints appeared.

The blood level in the coffin dropped rapidly until the last drop was absorbed by Fang Heng.

"Whoosh!"

Fang Heng opened his eyes again, his pupils turning blood red!

Chi chi chi…

The reflection of a red magic array quickly appeared in his right pupil.

Fang Heng clenched his fists gently, feeling the power of the blood surging in his body.

His attributes had increased greatly!

This was the power of the vampire bloodline.

Relying on the blood he obtained from killing the ancient creature, Hell Faram, his bloodline level rose by two levels!

Fang Heng opened the game hint to check the skill description.

Skill-King-level vampire bloodline (Level 18).

(This skill does not require any consumption. The effects will appear depending on the target's strength.) This skill can be released instantly or can be guided continuously. Under the guidance of the skill, the effect of the skill will gradually increase.

Good skill!

After Fang Heng checked it carefully, he was pleasantly surprised and secretly calculated.

The vampire bloodline was still inclined towards close combat.

Compared to the Duke bloodline, the growth of his attributes was almost 2.5 times that of his original stats!

At present, most of Fang Heng's close combat abilities came from the addition of the ancient strange Vampire King's Coffin, and the strengthening brought by the vampire bloodline.

The most prominent change was his HP.

The original increase of 325% had tripled, and it directly added an additional 1000% HP limit.

With the addition of other skills, his HP had increased sufficiently.

It more or less looked like a boss template.

The next time he entered Watts, he would not be instantly killed by the enemy.

Other than the increase in the values of his original skills, there was also an active skill called blood control.

It looked pretty good.

Instant casting didn't require any mental strength. The effect could be strengthened after the skill was continuously guided.

He would find an opportunity to try!

In the past, he could also control the blood of some low-level vampires through his blood.

However, this was not reflected in the skill description.

After upgrading his bloodline to the Prince-level, the skill was finally recognized by the game.

Moreover, it was not the final state yet!

He had already absorbed all the blood he had obtained from Hell Faram, and his skill experience points were still at Prince-level 18.

In the future, it could even be upgraded to the highest level, the King-level!

The prerequisite was that he had to level up to the player level to Level 35 first.

He couldn't rush it now.

The efficiency of obtaining high-level blood in the mid-level game world was too slow. If he wanted to speed up, he had to start from the advanced game world.

Fang Heng pondered and stepped out of the coffin, quickly familiarizing himself with the changes brought about by the explosion of his body's attributes.

The main thing was that his various attributes in close combat did not increase at all.

Other than that, it was his ability to sense blood.

His sensitivity to blood was even clearer.

When the vampires saw Fang Heng walk out of the coffin, they looked up at him with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.

The day to rebuild the glory of the vampires was about to arrive.

Prince Carl bowed.

"Welcome, Your Majesty."

Fang Heng gestured for everyone to get up and beckoned Carl over. He asked in a low voice, "Carl, is the ritual ready?"

"Yes, I've already communicated with the believers of the Holy Court that you brought back. They're ready to carry out the ritual at any time."

"Alright, get ready to teleport tomorrow morning."

"Yes!"

…

Fang Heng returned to the guest room of Punoze through the invitation letter.

He quickly shifted his gaze to the door.

As the vampire bloodline rose to the Prince-level, his blood-sensing ability also increased. He could clearly sense that there was someone standing outside the room.

Judging from the power level of his blood, the person who came was not strong.

Blood perception was a perception path that was completely different from aura perception.

It was very difficult for ordinary people to think of shielding their own blood power.

Even if he thought of it, he couldn't do it.

"It's a pretty good perception ability."

Fang Heng muttered softly. He glanced at the dark sky outside the window, walked forward, and opened the door.

When the necromancy attendant outside the door saw the door suddenly open, he was shocked and immediately called out, "Mr. Fang Heng."

1606 A Trap

"Is Lady Garona's experiment complete?"

The necromancy attendant bowed slightly and replied, "I'm sorry. You seemed to be resting when I came to look for you. Lady Garona has already completed her experiment ahead of time. Due to some unexpected events, she returned to her residence not long ago. We mentioned your matter to her, and she told us that if you are willing, we will send you to her villa in the suburbs. The carriage has already stopped outside the hall."

Something cropped up again?

It seemed that his luck was not good.

Fang Heng frowned, but he didn't feel that anything was wrong. This was the main storyline mission and it was normal to experience such things.

It would be strange if there were no twists and turns.

He thought that Lady Garona might have encountered some trouble.

Helping to deal with this 'trouble' was also part of the mission.

It was very likely that he would have to complete the ring missions one by one to gradually improve Lady Garona's favorability before he could gradually approach the main storyline.

After all, it was the main storyline mission that the guilds spent a lot of manpower and resources on, so it was normal to face challenges during the course.

However, he didn't have the time now.

Perhaps it would be useless to find Lady Garona. If they were not familiar with each other, she might not be willing to help him either.

Fang Heng asked, "Where is the villa in the suburbs? How far is it?"

"In the outskirts of the Western region, the undead bone horse is very fast. We can arrive in less than half an hour."

Fang Heng estimated the time.

Alright then.

He was already here. He would delay for another half an hour and give it a try.

"Alright, lead the way. We'll set off as soon as possible."

The necromancy attendant was secretly delighted, but on the surface, he remained calm and nodded. He said, "Alright, please follow me."

Fang Heng did not suspect anything and left the room with the attendant to look for Lady Garona.

The carriage stopped outside the main gate of the Holy Tower Research Institute.

The necromancy attendant guided Fang Heng onto the carriage.

Fang Heng noticed that other than the two coachmen in the front seat, there was another old man sitting in the carriage.

The old man was dressed in a necromancy scholar's uniform and was sitting in the corner of the carriage. His eyes were slightly closed as if he was asleep.

"Mr. Fang Heng, this is also a visitor of Lady Garona. He will be accompanying you. I wish you a smooth journey."

Without waiting for Fang Heng's reply, the necromancy attendant waved his hand, signaling the coachman to set off.

When the carriage left, the necromancy attendant's eyes revealed a hint of relief.

Done!

This was a fortune that he would never be able to earn in his lifetime.

Fang Heng sat in the carriage that sped along the way and could not help but turn to look at the old man beside him.

They were all here to visit Lady Garona and happened to be in the same carriage.

The other party's aura was well-hidden.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng was sensing his blood with his perception skill.

Judging from his blood, the other party was very strong.

He also did so for the coachmen and found that they were also very strong.

Lady Garona's coachmen were already so powerful?

Fang Heng felt a little strange.

The carriage set off and quickly headed towards the outskirts.

Fang Heng felt that something was wrong. He asked the old man beside him, "Are you also here to visit Lady Garona?"

When the old man heard Fang Heng's words, he slowly turned his head and looked straight into Fang Heng's inquisitive gaze.

"Yes."

"Are you familiar with Lady Garona? What kind of person is she? Are there any taboos to take note of when interacting with her?"

"Young man, you talk a lot."

Fang Heng was silent for a few seconds.

Something was wrong!

There was a problem!

He felt that he might be involved in the main storyline mission again.

This was going to be troublesome!

He had no time to care about the main storyline mission now!

Fang Heng made a prompt decision. He quickly raised his hand and called out, "Stop the car. I want to get off."

The coachmen didn't respond and continued driving as if they hadn't heard anything.

The old man slowly said, "Young man, I know you have a lot of questions. Be patient. You will see Lady Garona soon. We will explain everything to you then."

"No need, I want to get off!"

"Whoosh!!"

Beside him, two streams of gray aura seeped out from the old man's body and quickly spread toward him.

Fang Heng's pupils contracted, and a game prompt popped up on his retina.

[Hint: You have received the effect of soul bind, the player's soul has been attacked… Because your soul strength is higher than S, the judgment has passed. The player is exempted from this damage.]

[Hint: You have been affected by the curse effect of the skill. Your defense has been reduced…]

Fang Heng turned his head and stared at the old man.

The old man's originally normal pupils quickly became bloodshot.

What?!

The old man was startled.

He realized that the blood in his body was flowing uncontrollably.

"Whoosh!!"

A huge fist came crashing down!

The old man's pupils contracted.

"Bone shield!"

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the entire speeding carriage exploded!

The old man and two coachmen quickly flew out of the exploded carriage and stood in three corners, surrounding Fang Heng firmly in the center.

The old man stared at Fang Heng with a strange look in his eyes.

Thomas Engel.

He was an elder relative of the Culodi Trading Company.

In order to take down Fang Heng, the Culodi Trading Company had already put in a lot of effort this time. They had dispatched a grandmaster necromancer and two master necromancers.

There were still five grandmaster-level scholars staying somewhere in the suburbs to ambush him.

After all, taking action in the central city of Punoze would undoubtedly attract the attention of various factions.

Even the Culodi Trading Company couldn't cover the sky with one hand.

Therefore, they needed to find a quiet place to make their move. They just need to bring Fang Heng to the suburbs. They had already set up an inescapable net there. Fang Heng could not escape no matter what.

Unfortunately, they were discovered by Fang Heng midway.

Fang Heng was extremely vigilant!

Moreover, his strength was stronger than they had predicted. The soul attack and mental attack that he had used on Fang Heng were mostly nullified.

"Fang Heng, you're very powerful. I didn't expect that even the Frost Hell couldn't trap you."

"Who are you? The Culodi Chamber of Commerce?"

Fang Heng realized that the other party was from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce, the biggest enemy he had offended in Punoze.

The old man said in a deep voice, "Not bad. Since you know about it, come with us. As long as you are willing to cooperate, we can guarantee your safety."

Fang Heng didn't answer. A hint of disdain appeared on his lips, but he was more frustrated.

From the start, he had been played by the people from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

The necromancy attendant must have been bribed by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce!

The game prompt appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: The player has triggered the main storyline mission. The difficulty is balanced. The player has received additional mission compensation. The player has triggered a special hostile mission-Pursuit of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.]

Mission title: Pursuit of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

Mission requirement: Due to certain reasons, you are being pursued by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce. Please try to escape or make the Culodi Chamber of Commerce give up their pursuit.

Mission completion: 0%.

1607 Unexpected Troubles

"The troublesome main storyline…"

Why now?!

This was the time when he was most unwilling to have any complications.

Fang Heng quickly scanned his surroundings.

At this moment, the carriage had just left the main city and happened to be in an empty space.

The explosion had already caused some chaos in the surroundings.

The people from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce must be rushing over!

At the same time, the city manager was also rushing over.

Elder Engel was worried that the city manager would arrive first and cause more trouble.

He knew that Fang Heng wouldn't surrender without a fight and didn't want to waste time. He immediately said in a low voice, "Attack!"

Whoosh!! Whoosh Whoosh!!!

The three of them activated the Book of the Dead in front of them at the same time!

More than 20 soul chains flew out from the dead bodies controlled by the three of them and flew toward Fang Heng!

Seeing this, Fang Heng stood rooted to the ground. He formed a seal in front of his hands and mouthed something.

"Now!"

Whoosh!

The magic array spun rapidly in front of Fang Heng!

Summoning spell?

Elder Engel and the other two focused their attention on controlling the soul chains, watching Fang Heng's every move.

Did he think that he could resist the soul chains by using a summoning skill?

He was too confident!

They watched as Fang Heng was about to be bound by the soul chains!

What the hell!

In the next moment, the three of them were shocked.

"Boom!!!"

A cold aura suddenly exploded from the magic array in front of Fang Heng!

A tall white figure emerged from the magic array and stood in front of Fang Heng!

The dark-brown soul chain was blocked by the tall figure.

"Bang!!!"

"Ka ka ka…"

A portion of the soul chains were sent flying by the figure!

The remaining ten or so thick soul chains were wrapped around the white figure!

It was actually…

Ice Bones!

A commander-level Ice Bones!

The moment the Ice Bones leader was summoned by Fang Heng, the surrounding air temperature dropped by several degrees.

Seeing this, the expressions of the three members of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce changed drastically.

Elder Engel was a grandmaster necromancer, and the other two were master necromancers.

He had thought that it would not be a problem for them to take down Fang Heng with their strength. He did not expect Fang Heng to be able to summon a monster like the Ice Bones leader!

Whoosh!

The leader of the Ice Bones raised the ice soul slaying blade in his hand and slashed through the air!

"Boom!!!"

The soul chains that were wrapped around his body were cut open by the blade, and they exploded on the spot with ice crystals!

Elder Engel, who was controlling the soul chains, suffered a backlash, and his expression changed slightly.

"Retreat!"

Seeing this, the three of them immediately stopped the soul chains and retreated quickly. At the same time, they exchanged glances.

This was crazy!

Fang Heng actually had the ability to summon the leader of the Ice Bones?!

There was no mention of it in the previous intelligence reports!

Wasn't he just an intermediate necromancer?

No wonder Fang Heng did not panic at all when he was surrounded!

This was his trump card!

Elder Engel's heart sank. He quickly retreated and glanced at Fang Heng's position behind the undead Bones leader. He shouted, "Don't panic. It's just a mere Ice Bones leader. I'll hold him off for a while, and you guys deal with him! Take him down immediately!"

"Yes!!"

What did he mean by a mere leader?

The other two master necromancers couldn't help but curse.

They knew that Elder Engel was trying to stabilize their morale, so they didn't say anything else. They each formed a spell with their hands, and a dark incantation armor immediately appeared on their bodies.

"Bone barrier!"

"Boom! Boom!!!"

Two Wall of Bones rose from the ground, blocking Fang Heng's retreat.

"Attack!!"

Apart from Elder Engel, the other two were extremely proficient in long-range and close-combat skills. During the battle just now, most of the long-range undead shadow attacks they secretly used were blocked by Fang Heng's powerful soul power. Their long-range attacks could not bypass the undead Bones leader and take effect on Fang Heng. Therefore, they decided to directly attack Fang Heng in close combat!

Fang Heng looked at the Wall of Bones that rose up beside him with disdain. He still stood where he was without moving.

He turned his head and coldly looked at the two from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce. He placed his hands in front of him again and formed another seal. He silently chanted the incantation.

What?!

What the hell?

When the two from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce saw Fang Heng's actions, their expressions changed drastically.

A familiar mark, a familiar incantation…

Could it be…

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The magic array condensed in front of Fang Heng and spun rapidly.

"Boom!!!"

The ice-cold energy exploded in front of the two master necromancers!

The two of them immediately stopped and retreated.

"Phew!!!"

In the next moment, the ice soul slaying blade, which was mixed with a cold and icy blade, slashed past the two of them.

Looking at the bone-chilling blade light before them, the two from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce were incomparably shocked.

The powerful leader of the Ice Bones!

Fang Heng could actually summon a second one!

Their eyes were filled with astonishment.

They had not even defeat one leader, and now there was a second one?

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes.

The troublesome Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

They were wasting his time!

If it weren't for them, he would have found Lady Garona and left early after asking a few questions.

How could there be so many troublesome matters?!

Get rid of them!

Fang Heng's eyes were filled with killing intent. He placed his hands in front of him again and condensed a curse seal.

The two master necromancers had just retreated when they lost their direction.

With their combat strength, they could only escape from the undead Bones leader's attack or barely stall for time.

Just as he was hesitating about what to do, he saw Fang Heng assuming a familiar posture again and was instantly dumbfounded.

Again?!

A third one?!

An extremely bad premonition rose in the hearts of the two at the same time, and they looked at each other.

Run!!

The two of them mouthed at the same time. Before the sound could be heard, they retreated rapidly!

"Elder Xu, hold on! Immediately call for reinforcements!"

"Ha…"

Fang Heng watched the two of them quickly escape from his sight and let out a disdainful snort.

It wasn't that he didn't want to chase after them, but that he didn't have the time.

His current pursuit ability was limited, and it would be a waste of time to chase after them.

It was very likely that he would encounter the enemy's reinforcements and be dragged into the quagmire.

After weighing the pros and cons, Fang Heng chose to let the two of them go.

He then shifted his gaze to Elder Engel of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce, who was fighting with the undead Bones leader.

Engel's face turned ashen when he saw his two subordinates running away.

Those two idiots!

Elder Engel was different from his two subordinates.

He had only cultivated the spiritual element!

After being stuck to by the undead Bones leader, he could only choose to resist.

He couldn't escape!

He could only watch helplessly as his two subordinates abandoned him and fled.

Fang Heng's eyes focused on Elder Engel.

Engel also stared at Fang Heng.

"Fang Heng! If you harm me, the entire Culodi Chamber of Commerce and my friends will never let you off."

"Is that so? I really want to see how they won't let me off. Then let them come and find me."

1608 The Effect of Real Combat

Fang Heng slowly extended his hand and aimed it at Engel.

The instant Fang Heng's palm was aimed at him, Engel was stunned.

The familiar feeling of strangeness that he had felt in the carriage just now appeared again!

He could feel his blood pumping faster.

It was him?

Fang Heng was controlling the flow of his blood?

The surging blood even made it hard for him to focus on his spellcasting.

His eyes flickered with fear.

"Bang!"

The blade light slashed in front of him and destroyed the bone barrier Engel had created.

The three undead Bones leaders rushed towards him.

Not good!

Engel was trying to dodge the undead Bones leaders' attack, so he had no time to deal with Fang Heng.

He quickly retreated.

While retreating, Engel kept casting spells, trying to hold on for as long as possible until reinforcements arrived.

The troublesome thing was that he could feel the blood surging in his body becoming stronger and stronger.

It even caused his lifeblood to become unstable.

Engel's expression suddenly changed.

The spell that he was chanting was interrupted by the turbulence of his blood!

Oh no!

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, the ice soul slaying blade slashed across Engel's body.

"Bang!!!"

Engel was instantly frozen when he was slashed by the ice soul slaying blade. Following that, the entire ice block exploded!

Fang Heng looked at the exploding ice crystals in front of him and continued to raise his palm.

Chi chi chi…

More than ten drops of blood condensed from the scattered ice crystals and slowly floated toward his palm.

[Hint: The player has absorbed blood. This blood has extremely high strength. The player's spirit and stamina have been replenished.]

Fang Heng gently rubbed his neck and sensed his own condition.

It was very useful!

The two additional skills after the upgrade of the Prince-level bloodline were extremely practical!

Absorbing skills could not only replenish HP, but it could also replenish lost MP and stamina!

It could provide him with sufficient endurance!

Blood control was even more of a bug.

As the channeling time of the skill increased, the effect of the skill would slowly increase!

Even grandmaster-level enemies could be affected.

If the blood control skill had not been there in the battle just now, it would have taken more time to deal with Engel.

Fang Heng immediately started thinking.

He could totally rely on his summoned creatures to fight in front and secretly use his skills from behind!

Just as he was thinking about it, the game notification popped up again.

[Hint: The player has killed Thomas Engel, a special character of the Culodi Trading Company. The player's friendship with the Culodi Trading Company has been greatly reduced.]

[Hint: The player's current mission-Pursuit of Culodi Chamber of Commerce mission progress has increased by 50%.]

[Hint: The Culodi Chamber of Commerce has not given up on hunting you down.]

[Hint: The Culodi Chamber of Commerce has already set up guards at the various teleportation points. Please be careful if you use the teleportation passage.]

"How troublesome…"

Fang Heng looked at the game prompt and thought for a moment. He quickly searched the items left on the corpse and left.

The people of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce would soon catch up. If he stayed here, he would be targeted.

As for the Holy Tower Research Institute, it seemed that there was no way to go there. The Culodi Chamber of Commerce would definitely set up an ambush.

Besides, there was no time left. There was no point in looking for Lady Garona now.

Forget it.

Fang Heng quickly thought for a moment and decided to leave the city.

He would return to Frost Fortress first.

Hopefully, Milani would find something.

…

What?!

Failed?

The two master necromancers ran back in a panic and reported the matter. Yatsek suddenly stood up from his chair.

"Why?! Why did it fail?"

This was not the first time he had suffered a loss from Fang Heng!

It was like this last time when he dealt with the Rand Chamber of Commerce.

Even though he had sealed Fang Heng in the depths of Frost Hell at the last moment, he had thought that he could completely kill Fang Heng. However, who would have thought that Fang Heng was like a cockroach that could not be killed? He did not even know how he survived!

He even left with a recommendation letter from the City Lord of Frost Fortress!

This time, Yatsek was even more cautious. He sent a grandmaster-level necromancy elder and two master-level necromancers to deal with Fang Heng.

How could they fail?!

Yatsek wanted an explanation!

"Fang Heng has the power to control the undead Bones."

The subordinate looked at everyone in the meeting room and carefully added, "It's the undead Bones leader. We don't have this information yet."

Hearing this, everyone was secretly surprised.

The meeting room fell silent again.

If Fang Heng could summon the leader of the Ice Bones, then their failure was understandable.

But…

Since when did Fang Heng have the power to control the leader of the undead Bones?

He remembered the last time he saw Fang Heng…

Wait, Yatsek recalled.

It seemed that Fang Heng had obtained the Bones' summoning skill book from the Rand Chamber of Commerce not long ago.

He had heard of that skill book before.

A very rare skill book.

Not bad.

However, it was only 'not bad'.

After all, there was a huge flaw in the skill.

However, Yatsek never expected that this skill book would be so effective in Fang Heng's hands!

Even the undead Bones leader was summoned by him!

Everyone in the conference room looked at Yatsek with sympathy.

Who could have thought of this in advance?

Yatsek asked in a deep voice, "Where's Elder Engel? Is he still watching Fang Heng?"

The expressions of the two subordinates changed slightly. They replied, "Elder Engel stayed behind alone to delay Fang Heng's departure. We've already sent people to provide support as soon as possible."

Yatsek stared at his two subordinates.

His gaze seemed to be able to see through their hearts.

Reinforcements?

It would be a miracle if they could find reinforcements now!

Fang Heng was not an idiot.

Yatsek was sure that Fang Heng had already run away!

He closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.

Now that things had come to this, Fang Heng had already escaped and out of his control.

He could only proceed to the last step.

Yatsek suddenly opened his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Report the situation to the president and then immediately send the news to the major Chambers of Commerce. Ask them to help intercept Fang Heng everywhere. After capturing Fang Heng, we can give them half of the resources and information!"

"Yes!"

Fang Heng had already brought a great loss to the Chambers of Commerce.

He still had the secret of the source of the shady line.

There was also the recommendation letter.

Even if he had to give up half of the benefits, he had to stop him!

"Attack immediately! Release the news and get everyone to take action."

"Understood!!"

…

News of the recommendation letter was released from the Culodi Trading Company and quickly spread around.

The atmosphere in the entire game world of Punoze became tense again because of Fang Heng.

In the virtual world, other than the local forces, there were many people who had ideas about the main storyline mission and the shady line.

This included Li Qingran.

Li Qingran had also come into contact with the relevant mission lines a few years ago.

She had formed a team with dozens of her companions from the Necromancer Association to participate in the mission. Her mission progress was close to 8%.

But soon, the entire team encountered a bottleneck, and their progress was extremely slow.

1609 A Siege

Li Qingran's daily cultivation was to help Teacher Pu Shi deal with the daily work of the Necromancer Association. She would only enter Punoze in her free time to see if she could complete the main storyline mission.

Of course, she had been busy with the master-level necromancy advancement assessment in Punoze recently.

The difficulty of the mission was extremely high.

Hence, she decided to ask Fang Heng for help.

It was a very strange feeling.

Fang Heng had only learned about necromancy for less than half a year, but Li Qingran felt that only Fang Heng could help her.

Fang Heng was a genius.

Ordinary people can't be compared to the best of the best

Li Qingran comforted herself.

Having just finished her offline work, Li Qingran took some time to go online to sort out her thoughts and prepare for the advancement to the grandmaster level.

A teammate who was participating in the main storyline was already waiting outside the room.

When he saw Li Qingran walk out, he immediately went forward.

"Senior Qingran, something big has happened. There's a change in the main storyline mission. The president and the others are in a meeting in the conference room."

Li Qingran was stunned.

Main storyline mission?

In fact, it had been more than half a year since she last came into contact with the main storyline mission.

All sorts of information showed that the key point of the main storyline mission was related to the source of the shady line in Frost Hell.

However, the Frost Hell was too dangerous.

With their team's current strength, they could only enter Frost Hell's outer perimeter.

Finding a safe path to enter the depths of Frost Hell and explore the shady line became the top priority of completing the mission.

Apart from dealing with the bone-piercing cold wind from the Frost Hell, they also had to deal with the powerful Ice Bones and frozen vengeful spirits.

There were even threats from players and local forces.

After careful planning, Li Qingran's team chose a completely different route to complete the mission.

They were prepared to explore and find a way to counter the shady line aura.

Similarly, this choice was fraught with difficulties.

There hasn't been any progress on the way.

Li Qingran was confused as she followed her anxious companion into the meeting room.

In the conference room, everyone was discussing in low voices.

When they saw Li Qingran being led into the room, everyone stopped and looked at Li Qingran with burning eyes.

Li Qingran felt a little confused as everyone stared at her.

She was just a bystander on the team.

When did she become the center of attention?

Li Qingran composed herself and asked, "Everyone? What's wrong?"

The team's vice-captain, Sima Fan, stood up and looked at Li Qingran with a serious expression, "Qingran, are you very close to Fang Heng?"

Li Qingran's heart skipped a beat when she heard Fang Heng's name.

Her first reaction was that Fang Heng must have done something fancy in the game world of Punoze.

He had just escaped, so he couldn't be idle at all, right?

Li Qingran became more serious. She instinctively wanted to protect her junior, so she nodded and said, "Yes, Fang Heng is my junior. I'm more familiar with him. Did he have a conflict with us? There might be some misunderstanding in this matter. I can help mediate it…"

"No, it's more troublesome than this."

Sima Fan was a little anxious and said first, "It's the Culodi Mercenary Group that wants to take action against Fang Heng. There's news that the Culodi Chamber of Commerce has sent out all their forces this time and even spent a lot of money to invite foreign aid to cooperate with the local forces in the game to deal with Fang Heng. Now, all the teleportation channels in Punoze are under control and surveillance. There are already several teams of people lying in ambush on the roads leading to the major cities to intercept Fang Heng."

"What?!"

Li Qingran was stunned.

Why?

The Culodi Trading Company was still manageable.

She knew that Fang Heng and the Culodi Chamber of Commerce had a feud over the Frost Hell.

However, working together with several large Chambers of Commerce to attack Fang Heng? Furthermore, they had staked everything on it and even gave up most of the benefits to invite the various local forces to join.

All the major factions agreed?

How did this happen?

Didn't Fang Heng just escape from the Frost Hell?

How did he manage to offend the entire world at the same time?

Sima Sima Fan asked, "Qingran, can you contact Fang Heng?"

Li Qingran frowned.

"It's very difficult."

Punoze was a special hidden world. There was no way to use the survival radio for long-distance communication in the world, and the emergency notification button of the offline game pod was also blocked.

Moreover, even if she went offline to find Mo Jiawei and get him to contact Fang Heng, she wouldn't be able to do it.

Mo Jiawei was 'having tea' with the Central Federation's investigation team.

It was too late!

This was a must-kill situation for all the major factions in Punoze.

Li Qingran asked worriedly, "What happened?"

Sima Fan nodded and said, "At first, it was news from the Culodi Trading Company. Fang Heng received a recommendation letter from Lady Garona from the City Lord of Frost Fortress. The Culodi Trading Company proposed to cooperate with a few local forces that were close to each other. Their target was Fang Heng. They needed to share the information in Fang Heng's hands and the follow-up mission line of Lady Garona. After that, the news was noticed by the players and quickly leaked."

Li Qingran's heart sank.

Fang Heng, he…

When did it become involved in the main storyline mission?

Li Qingran had been participating in the main storyline mission for several years, even though she had been slacking off. She reacted almost immediately after being influenced by a lot of information.

Lady Garona!

The key item to unlock the mystery of the Frost Hell!

He actually…

Fang Heng got the recommendation letter again?

When did this happen?

Li Qingran was still in a daze, and the other players in the meeting room could not help but feel a little anxious.

"Senior Qingran, you have a good relationship with Fang Heng. Can you think of a way to contact him first?"

"That's right, Qingran. Can you contact him? For the sake of Fang Heng's safety and our mission, we can cooperate with Fang Heng and share information. Everything will be under Fang Heng's leadership."

Li Qingran smiled bitterly in her heart.

Of course, she knew what the players were thinking.

The main storyline mission.

The temptation was too great!

Li Qingran shook her head gently.

Seeing this, everyone could not help but reveal a disappointed expression.

They had hurriedly called Li Qingran over with a very simple thought: If they found Fang Heng in advance, they might be able to participate in the mission.

It didn't matter even if they couldn't get a recommendation letter.

Rumors had it that Fang Heng had escaped from Frost Hell, which meant that he knew Frost Hell very well!

This information and clues were priceless!

The hall was silent for a moment.

Li Qingran carefully recalled.

She realized that the only person she could find was Tan Shuo.

She had to rely on the power of the Eastern Federation to find a way to inform Fang Heng in the game.

Li Qingran looked up and said, "I'm going to find a friend and I hope to find Fang Heng through him."

Obviously, the effect was limited.

Other than that, Li Qingran could only pray.

"Qingran, there are people looking for Fang Heng with the motive of intercepting him in every area. Do you know where he will go?" Sima Fan looked at Li Qingran and said, "Think about it carefully. We can go over there directly. Perhaps we can think of a way to help him!"

Li Qingran quickly recalled the scene when she met Fang Heng last time.

Soon, two words appeared in Li Qingran's mind.

Frost Hell!

"Frost Fortress! It's very likely that he's going there!"

1610 Fly over

Fang Heng did not know what was happening in the outside world.

He didn't know that it was all because of the recommendation letter.

What was even more troublesome was that from the game hint, it could be seen that almost all the teleportation passages in Punoze were currently controlled by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce and could not be used.

In order to avoid trouble, it was best not to use the teleportation passage.

The good news was that after advancing to the Prince of the vampires' bloodline, his vampire form's flying speed and altitude had increased significantly.

If he were to directly use his flying skill to fly to Frost Fortress, other than the last snowstorm domain where his speed would be greatly reduced, the entire journey would not take much longer than before.

After a moment of consideration, Fang Heng decided to transform into a bat and fly to the Frost Fortress!

Although it was a little troublesome and took a little more time, it was a more stable route.

In his bat form, Fang Heng flew through mountains, rivers, and forests.

He flew at high altitudes for nearly three hours. The sky was already pitch-black.

Suddenly, a line of game hints flashed by.

[Hint: The player's passive skill-omniscient eye has been activated, seeing through the current illusion.]

"Eh?"

In front, a layer of white mist shrouded in frost dissipated.

So this white fog was a hallucination?

Fang Heng sensed something and narrowed his eyes to look down.

Looking down from the sky, Fang Heng saw many people gathered at the passage leading to the Frost Hell.

Eh?

It looked like an ambush.

That was strange.

Who were they trying to ambush?

With so many people lying in ambush, it should be a battle between several large factions, right?

Fang Heng was curious.

If it was any other time, he would definitely go down and take a look. However, the current situation was urgent. The remaining time was getting shorter.

It was more important to focus on dealing with Viona.

"I will not cause trouble, I will not cause trouble…"

Fang Heng muttered to himself, then flew past the encirclement and sped back to Frost Fortress.

Below, under the cover of the ice fog, a large number of ambush teams had gathered here.

Yatsek had even personally brought the elites of the Chambers of Commerce here to guard the place.

Other than them, there were also various large teams from the local forces of Punoze and even a small number of player teams.

Based on Fang Heng's recent movements, they determined that there was a high probability that Fang Heng would return to Frost Fortress.

This was the only way to Frost Fortress!

It was the perfect ambush spot.

As long as Fang Heng dared to come, he was doomed to never return!

Yatsek stared at the entrance of the passage in the distance.

Behind him, the members of the Culodi Chamber of Commerce who had participated in the ambush had also suffered quite a bit.

Gano was among them.

He hid behind cover and poured a bottle of cold-resistant potion into his mouth, cursing softly.

Fag Heng was the source of everything!

Last time, he was deceived by Fang Heng and thought that he was cursed, so he brought Fang Heng into the Chambers of Commerce team.

After the incident, he had been beaten half to death by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce. However, his grandfather guaranteed his life and allowed him to redeem himself.

If not for Fang Heng, he would have been sleeping soundly in the camp.

Why would he stay here and suffer?

Suddenly, one of Gano's companions noticed something and nudged him.

He whispered, "Hmm, Leader, look up there. Did something fly over?"

Gano was annoyed and said, "Are you seeing things? What's there to see? This place is covered in snow all year round, there's no food at all, and there's hardly any living things around."

"Could it be a human?"

"What are you thinking? In such a heavy snowstorm, levitation spells are useless. Moreover, there's an anti-magic barrier, unless it's a mage."

The man rubbed his eyes and looked up at the sky. Then, he drank a mouthful of cold-resistant potion and nodded, "What the team leader said makes sense…This lousy weather is making me hallucinate."

Behind them, Li Qingran and more than 20 people from the Necromancer Association were also mixed in with the other teams.

They were not here to deal with Fang Heng, but to think of a way to save him.

In the beginning, they thought they could create some kind of disturbance. However, when they really arrived at the ambush site and saw so many people there, Li Qingran's heart gradually sank to the bottom.

There were too many people!

…

Soon, Fang Heng flew at high speed for another half an hour and arrived at the entrance of Frost Fortress.

It was already close to dawn.

Fang Heng landed on the ground and returned to his human form, walking towards the main gate of the Frost Fortress.

Outside the city, Kou Ming and his team were anxiously searching the entrance of the Frost Fortress.

They had also received news that the outside world was targeting Fang Heng. They knew that someone was blocking them outside and now they were desperately trying to find a way to contact Fang Heng.

Unfortunately, Fang Heng did not go offline midway, so they could not contact him at all.

Kou Ming was worried about Fang Heng when he suddenly saw a figure in the distance.

He took a closer look.

It was actually Fang Heng?

Kou Ming rubbed his eyes.

It really was him!

Kou Ming was pleasantly surprised. He quickly brought a few people behind him to welcome him, "Mr. Fang Heng! You're back!"

Fang Heng had already noticed Kou Ming and the others at the entrance of Frost Fortress. Seeing their excited expressions, he found it strange.

He had just left for a while. Was there a need to be so excited?

Kou Ming looked behind Fang Heng and asked, "Eh? Where are the others? Didn't they come back with you?"

"Others?"

Fang Heng thought that there was a change in the plan, so his expression became more serious. He asked, "I didn't meet anyone else on the way. Did Xu Shuo and the others come looking for me? Did they encounter any special circumstances?"

"You, you don't know?"

Kou Ming couldn't help but open his mouth and quickly tell him everything he knew.

After Xu Shuo and the others learned that Fang Heng was in danger, they determined that Fang Heng might return to Frost Fortress.

Meanwhile, the road leading to Frost Fortress had been blocked by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

For some reason, Xu Shuo and the others couldn't expose their true intentions, so they decided to go to the ambush site together and prepare to secretly save Fang Heng.

After Kou Ming finished, he asked, "So, Mr. Fang Heng, you didn't meet Captain and the others along the way?"

Fang Heng shook his head.

He understood the whole situation.

He had flown back from a high altitude. The group of people that he saw earlier was actually coming for him!

Yet, this group of people did not consider the fact that he could fly at high altitudes.

That was right. Only the bat form of the Prince-level bloodline could fly in the sky. Moreover, flying at high altitudes would also cause a negative freezing effect that would continuously reduce his HP.

However, his physique was very high, and he was almost immune to damage.

Kou Ming looked at Fang Heng silently, speechless.

So…

There were so many people blocking the way, but he still came back unscathed, and he didn't even know what had happened.

The people from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce were still lying in wait in the cold wind. They would probably be very angry after knowing about this…

Thinking of this, Kou Ming couldn't help but smile.

1611 Help Make an Announcement

Fang Heng asked, "Why are so many people looking for me?"

Kou Ming understood and quickly explained to him about the recommendation letter.

In fact, Milani had also seen Fang Heng get a recommendation letter. However, she did not take it to heart at that time. After all, she did not know much about the main storyline mission.

It wasn't until the Culodi Chamber of Commerce released news about it that she realized how important a recommendation letter was!

Fang Heng rubbed his chin after listening to Kou Ming's explanation.

So…

This recommendation letter was a very important prop…

It was so important that so many local forces and player guilds of Punoze were willing to do their best to find him.

Interesting…

Fang Heng licked his lips.

It seemed like he could make use of it.

"Fang Heng, it's great that you can come back safely. We've already thought of a way to contact the Captain offline. I think he'll receive the news soon…"

"Wait, wait a minute."

Fang Heng patted Kou Ming's shoulder and interrupted, "I have an urgent matter to attend to. I would like to borrow the power of the Federation to issue a statement to the players of Punoze and the local forces in my name."

"Huh? In your name? A statement? Now?"

Kou Ming was stunned.

A statement?

Was he making a statement or trying to show off?

Fang Heng went over to Kou Ming and whispered something into his ear.

Kou Ming stood rooted to the spot for a while before looking at Fang Heng. He asked, "Brother Fang, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Of course. Hurry up and tell those who are interested to come here and wait for me. We will start in two hours, first come first serve."

Kou Ming couldn't help but gulp, "Two hours? Isn't it too short? If they had more time, they would have been able to make more preparations…"

"It's too late. Go quickly."

"Yes!"

Kou Ming nodded. He knew that the matter was urgent, so he hurriedly called his entourage to get to work.

…

At the entrance of the main passage to the Frost Hell, Gano was still lying in ambush in the cold wind. He kept cursing in a low voice and occasionally glanced at Elder Yatsek from the corner of his eyes.

It had been three hours!

Yatsek was still staring into the distance.

Unknowingly, things had already gone out of his control.

The news about the invitation letter was clearly only leaked to a few large local forces that worked closely with the Culodi Chamber of Commerce.

However, more and more people were lying in ambush here.

Many of them were obviously not partners of their Chamber of Commerce.

It seemed that there were more people trying to intercept Fang Heng and the probability of Fang Heng escaping was even smaller.

Actually, this was not a good thing.

The more people who knew, the more likely Fang Heng was to know the news in advance.

Once Fang Heng knew that there was danger and changed his itinerary, their ambush would become a joke!

Yatsek clenched his fists.

This was the only chance!

Fang Heng was too crucial!

Not only was it a recommendation letter, but it was also the information that Fang Heng had!

Information related to the source of the shady line!

Yatsek was looking at the end of the passage from afar, hoping for a miracle. Suddenly, he noticed a commotion among the ambush team.

Yatsek frowned.

What was going on?

Even though there were illusions set up in the outside world, making it impossible for people to see the ambush behind the passage, however, it was still very easy to attract attention by causing such a huge commotion.

What if Fang Heng came at this time?

They had been suffering in here for so long and if things failed, all their efforts would go to waste!

Just as Yatsek was about to send someone to inquire about the situation, a subordinate hurriedly walked up from behind.

"Elder."

"Hmm, any news?"

His subordinate hurried over with a layer of sweat on his forehead. He looked at Yatsek carefully and hesitated.

Yatsek suddenly had a very bad premonition.

"Don't stutter! If you have something to say, say it! Did Fang Heng find out?"

The subordinate quivered and quickly said, "Fang Heng, he, he has already returned to Frost Fortress."

Yatsek was stunned.

He blurted out, "Impossible!"

The Frost Fortress did not have a teleportation tower.

This was the only passage!

Moreover, they had also built anti-magic barriers to block spatial spells. The severe cold weather for thousands of years made it impossible for humans to fly at high altitudes.

The ground beneath their feet was made up of 10,000-year-old solid ice. It was simply unrealistic to dig a tunnel in such a short period of time!

The only way to pass through was from the ground!

That's right!

It was a trap!

It must be a trap that Fang Heng deliberately set up after knowing that he was being hunted!

Yatsek suddenly felt as if he had understood something. He asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get this information?"

"It's absolutely true. I learned it from the mouth of the Inhumans. It was released to the public by an organization called the Eastern Federation. The Inhumans trust this information very much."

Yatsek's expression changed again.

He knew this group of Inhuamns very well.

The Federation still held a lot of weight in the hearts of the Inhumans.

Was it not a trap?

But if that was the case, how did Fang Heng do it?

Could it be that he had a cloning technique?

"Elder, moreover…"

Yatsek turned around and glared at his subordinates. He suppressed the anger in his heart and asked, "What else? Can you finish it all at once?!"

"I'm sorry, Elder. The Eastern Federation has released news that Fang Heng is currently in Frost Fortress and intends to sell the recommendation letter in his hands as well as information related to the shady line."

"Sell?!"

Yatsek's pupils contracted.

The subordinate nodded his head and continued, "Yes, the other party has put forward the relevant conditions. They only accept physical exchange. They need props or items that can resist the shady line aura. The stronger the props, the better. The larger the effective range, the better. The more the better. Many teams who have received the news have already begun to make their moves. They are heading to Frost Fortress to find Fang Heng to exchange."

"Fang Heng seems to be in a hurry. As long as the conditions are right, he will immediately make a deal."

Yatsek's first reaction was to turn his head and look at the chaotic team behind him.

So the major forces immediately retreated after hearing the news and prepared to go back to Fang Heng to make a deal?

Props that could resist the aura of the shady line were very rare.

But after all, the various major factions had more than thousands of years of inheritance, and their family background was solid.

It was not a problem for them to take out a few pieces of valuable items!

It was whether the level of the items was high or low.

Yatsek followed up with a second reaction.

Strange, why did Fang Heng need something that could resist the aura of the shady line?

Could it be that he had discovered something else at the source of the shady line?

For instance, that great holy sword?

Impossible, it was impossible for anyone to break the great holy sword…

No!

It wasn't until the third time he thought about it in detail that Yatsek understood.

D*mn it!

Another trap!

Why couldn't those idiots understand?!

The so-called deal was just Fang Heng's bluff!

In this way, the attention of all the major factions would be attracted to the tools that could block the aura of the shady line!

No one would focus on Fang Heng anymore.

In fact, Fang Heng had yet to return to Frost Fortress!

To be able to come up with this design, the place where Fang Heng was most likely to be now…

Lady Garona!

Fang Heng would definitely use this opportunity to find Lady Garona!

Lure the tiger away from the mountain!

Yatsek's eyes flashed.

Fang Heng!

He didn't expect him to have such a smart plan!

What a terrifying person!

With his own strength, he had played with the various local forces in the palm of his hand.

However…

In the end, he was still a level higher. This would give him the chance to turn the tables!

1612 Give It a Try

When his subordinate saw Yatsek's gloomy face, he could not help but ask, "Elder, we…"

Yatsek clenched his fists.

He was confident that he had guessed correctly.

There was still a chance if they rush over to Garona's side to ambush Fang Heng!

After figuring this out, Yatsek said in a deep voice, "Let's go back now."

"Alright, alright…"

The Culodi Chamber of Commerce immediately took action and prepared to return.

Behind the party, Gano, who was lying in ambush, saw the retreat signal from the front of the party. He stood up from behind the cover and moved his stiff and numb body.

What were they doing?

They had been lying in ambush for half a day, and now they were retreating?

Were they trying to torture him in the middle of the night?

Gano couldn't help but curse.

Soon, he learned about Fang Heng's related information from his teammates.

Hmm?

Hearing this, Gano suddenly thought of something.

He hurried to find Elder Yatsek.

Yatsek was a little annoyed after seeing Gano.

The scum of the family.

However, on account of the other family elders, he still had to look after this troublesome thing.

Just looking at him made him very annoyed!

Gano saw Yatsek's unfriendly expression and carefully said, "Elder, have you heard? I remember that we have a few special items that can resist the shady line aura…"

In order to explore the shady line, the Culodi Trading Company had prepared a lot of stock over the years.

Coincidentally, most of the items used to deal with the shady line were stored in the warehouse of Frost City.

There was no need to transport them over from afar. They could directly use them and trade with Fang Heng face-to-face.

At that time, some of the items were transported by Gano, so he remembered them immediately.

Yatsek didn't have much patience and asked directly, "What are you trying to say?"

Gano knew that his chance had come.

"Isn't Fang Heng exchanging his recommendation letter for tools? While the other Chambers of Commerce are still looking for tools to transport to Frost Fortress, our Frost City has ready-made tools in the warehouse. Why don't we try trading with him?"

The more Yatsek looked, the more he felt Gano was an idiot.

He would just crawl into a trap set up by others!

"Heh, idiot, do you really think Fang Heng wants to trade? And with the few props in your warehouse? Can it satisfy his appetite?"

Gano was scolded for no reason, and he couldn't help but shrink his neck as he muttered softly.

"How would we know if we don't try?"

"Hmph, I forgot that you have some connection with that Fang Heng. Alright, I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. I'll leave this matter to you as long as you can get the recommendation letter and information! If you fail, go back and be grounded for half a year!"

Gano was overjoyed when he heard this. He did not care about the sarcasm in Yatsek's words. He felt that he had grabbed onto a life-saving straw!

"Thank you for your trust, Elder. I'll do it now!"

Yatsek let out a disdainful snort as he watched Gano rush off to get his men to work.

Might as well, he could let Gano go and check out the situation there.

Yatsek was sure that even if Gano went to Frost Fortress, he would not be able to see Fang Heng!

It was just a despicable trick to lure the tiger away.

Outside, other than Yatsek, most of the ambushers chose to retreat after hearing about the Federation's announcement.

The weather was cold, and they were still lying in ambush at night.

What a torture.

In short, Fang Heng had already entered Frost Fortress, so they couldn't do anything to the City Lord of Frost Fortress.

Therefore, the teams and forces that had the means to do so went back to check their assets and find tools that could resist the shady line aura to see if they could trade with Fang Heng.

After all, the news was released through the Eastern Federation, so the credibility of the news was still very high among the players.

The local large forces also believed 70 – 80% of it.

When the news reached Tang Mingyue's team, everyone was a little confused.

They had been worried for a long time and had already set up a small magic array in preparation for a last-ditch battle. Then, they realized that Fang Heng had already returned to Frost Fortress.

So for the whole day, they had kept themselves busy for nothing?

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Tang Mingyue felt her mind go blank. She then went offline again to confirm the accuracy of the information with Tan Shuo.

Indeed, Fang Heng was already in Frost Fortress.

The players could not understand.

How could he escape from the blockade of so many people and return to Frost City without anyone noticing?

God knows what method Fang Heng used!

Sima Fan gathered everyone for a group discussion. Since they were already here, they might as well go to Frost City to find Fang Heng and maybe get more information about the mission.

It was just going to be an exchange.

….

"Hurry up! Faster!"

An hour later, Gano led a group of his men to the City Lord's fortress.

There was only one recommendation letter.

Elder Yatsek only gave him one chance!

Fang Heng was in a hurry. As long as the exchange conditions were met, it would be on a first-come, first-served basis!

Gano knew that this was his last chance to turn things around!

Among the many local forces, the Culodi Chamber of Commerce had the highest degree of exploration of the source of the shady line. They had also made preparations in advance to deal with the shady line aura. There were dozens of items and equipment that could resist the source of the shady line!

Among them was an extremely important prop.

The heart of the Melting Fire Troll Overlord.

It was stored in the warehouse of Frost City!

However, what Gano didn't expect was that when he returned to the warehouse to retrieve the supplies and rushed to the Frost Fortress, he found that there was already a queue in front of him.

More than ten player teams of all sizes and local forces had arrived earlier than them!

However, this group of people was also blocked at the fortress hall.

The person in charge of checking the exchanged items was not Fang Heng, but the Quartermaster of Frost Fortress.

Gano asked the guards and learned that because there were too many people who came to exchange, the items needed to go through the first round of screening by the Quartermaster before they could see Fang Heng and enter the second round of re-examination.

"I didn't expect Fang Heng to have such a good relationship with the City Lord of Frost Fortress. I didn't expect him to help him to this extent…"

Gano couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He could only wait.

Fortunately, the group of people at the front of the line seemed to have rushed over to try their luck. Not a single one of them passed the preliminary test, especially those groups of Inhumans.

Many of the Inhumans did not bring anything at all and wanted to use other things to negotiate. So the Quartermaster denied them.

There were even Inhumans who tried to bribe the Quartermaster, find ways to sneak in, or try to influence the Quartermaster with telepathy skills…

Gano waited patiently.

When it was his turn, there was already a long queue behind him.

After checking the two boxes that Gano showed him, the Quartermaster revealed a serious expression and signaled the guard to bring Gano in.

"That's enough."

"Thank you."

Gano put away the box, joy flashing in his eyes.

In the long line of people behind them, when they saw that the people from the Culodi Trading Company were the first to pass the preliminary examination, there was immediately a commotion.

1613 Good Stuff

In the living room, Fang Heng was just discussing with Xu Xun and the others.

The preliminary preparations for the plan had been completed by 60%.

They still needed to enter the depths of the shady line to complete the setup of a few magic arrays. He had to finish everything before noon tomorrow.

It was estimated that the plan would officially begin at noon.

They still lacked one last thing.

An item that could resist the aura of the shady line.

The shady line aura was too overbearing, and there were very few items that could resist its corrosion.

The Coffin of Disaster that he had obtained from the City Lord of Frost Fortress was one of them.

However, this thing was not very useful.

It was worth mentioning that the Coffin of Disaster was originally used for refuge. It had a strange shape, and its capacity was larger than Fang Heng had expected. It could fit about 20 people.

Everyone discussed the details in a low voice. A guard entered the meeting hall and interrupted them, saying that someone had found the exchange item.

Fang Heng, Xu Xun, and the others quickly exchanged glances.

"Alright, let's follow the plan. We'll gather at the entrance of the Frost Hell in five hours."

"Hmm, alright."

Xu Xun and the other two nodded in agreement and left through the side door.

Fang Heng adjusted his sitting posture and looked outside the door.

"Please come in."

Fang Heng was surprised to see a familiar figure walking in.

It was someone from the Culodi Chamber of Commerce?

He's the first person?

Previously, he was still shouting as if he was going to fight to his death. Now, he was the first to come and trade.

How shameless.

Fang Heng looked at the person who had just arrived with a playful look on his face.

"Gano?"

Gano was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "Haha, Fang Heng, you still remember me. We haven't seen each other for a while."

"Indeed, are you here to trade?"

"Yes, I heard the rumors outside. It just so happens that our Culodi Chamber of Commerce has a few items that can resist the aura of the Frost Hell, so I wanted to come and trade with you."

Gano didn't dare to hold a grudge against Fang Heng for what had happened back then. Whether he could turn things around now depended on Fang Heng. He had a fawning smile on his face.

As he spoke, he stepped forward and placed a box on the table.

Fang Heng listened to Gano's words and raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

A few items?

The Culodi Chamber of Commerce was truly a big business.

Fang Heng reached out and opened the lid.

Immediately, a scorching aura seeped out from the lid.

A notification about the item immediately appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Item-Melting Fire Troll Overlord's heart (damaged).]

Level: Rare.

Type: Item, material, etc.

Description: A heart plucked from the body of a legendary creature, the Melting Fire Troll OverLord. It can release a scorching aura. Due to damage, the success rate of fusion will be reduced as a penalty.

Skill: The last heartbeat.

Description: Activating the heart will create a protective barrier. The barrier can absorb 20,000,000 damage. It will release a heartbeat every 0.3 seconds (Deals 5,000 fire damage in a 1,200-meter radius around the player. The damage will gradually decrease with distance). At the same time, the player will obtain additional ice resistance, immunity to the effects of the ice environment (there is a chance to change the surrounding environment to fire), immunity to high-level and lower ice-related spells, immunity to freezing, frost-freezing, ice speed reduction, and other effects.

Skill duration: 960 seconds.

Additional description: This skill can only be used once. After the skill is used, the item will disappear.

Fang Heng carefully read the item description and was delighted.

Good stuff!

Able to resist the effects of cold environments.

Moreover, it lasted for a full 16 minutes.

If he used this item to adjust the layout of his plan…

Fang Heng lowered his head and fell into deep thought.

Gano looked at Fang Heng carefully. Seeing Fang Heng's grave expression, he could not help but feel a little uneasy.

The heart was an extremely rare item.

The value was extremely high.

As a fusion material, it had a chance of creating higher-level magic scrolls or enchanted equipment.

Unfortunately, because the materials were damaged during the harvesting process, the success rate of production was greatly reduced. The trading firm had found many masters, but they were not confident in enchantment or producing magic scrolls.

Considering that this item might be related to the Frost Hell, which was related to exploring the shady line, it was temporarily thrown into the warehouse.

Fang Heng remained silent, and Gano felt even more uneasy.

This was an opportunity that he had fought hard for. If he failed, his days would be even more difficult when he returned.

"Ahem."

Gano couldn't help but cough lightly to attract Fang Heng's gaze. He said "Mr. Fang Heng, there are a few other items besides this heart. You can take a look."

Gano took out another box.

He opened the box and took out a magic scroll from inside. He carefully opened it and laid it out on the table respectfully.

"This scroll can temporarily change the terrain and is very practical. It is very effective against the source of the shady line and lasts for a long time. When the scroll is activated, it needs to consume the molten core. We have prepared it for you"

Fang Heng looked at the scroll again, and relevant information appeared on his retina.

[Item-Magic scroll: Scorched earth.]

Type: Magic scroll.

Level: Rare.

Description: One-time consumable magic scroll. Requires mental strength to activate. Activating the magic scroll requires the consumption of the molten core.

Description: After successfully using the scroll, you will change the current terrain and environment, creating a 500*500 area of scorched earth (Level: 350). In this environment, the strength and effect of fire spells will be increased.

Maximum duration: 900 seconds.

Fang Heng carefully read the scroll's skill description and could not help but be secretly shocked.

It was an extremely rare environmental magic scroll!

As for the environment level, it was a hidden attribute.

Level 350.

He wondered if a Level 350 magic scroll could withstand the aura of the shady line.

"Mr. Fang Heng, there are still two boxes of related items left at the door."

Fang Heng was stunned and raised his head.

There was more?

So many?

"Bring them in."

"Alright."

Gano got up and went back to his room. He opened the door and signaled for his men to carry the two boxes in.

"We can also provide many tools that can resist the shady line aura…"

He then displayed all the items, scrolls, and related equipment in the two boxes.

Gano's mouth was dry as he looked at Fang Heng nervously.

"Mr. Fang Heng, look…"

Fang Heng pondered for a moment, then looked at Gano with a bit of envy in his eyes. He went against his conscience and said, "Not bad."

Not bad!

It was simply too good!

Among them, the most valuable items were the environmental magic scroll and the Melting Troll Overlord Lord's heart.

The other items were also extremely targeted.

To Fang Heng, these things were life-saving straws!

With these things, the success rate of the plan to deal with Viona had more than doubled!

He was now 80% confident!

Gano was delighted when he heard Fang Heng say 'not bad'.

"Then, you mean…"

1614 Achieved

Fang Heng did not mind trying to get more benefits from the Culodi Trading Company. He interrupted, "Not bad, but you should understand that I have a huge conflict with your Culodi Chamber of Commerce. Trading with you, tsk tsk tsk, feels like I'm helping the enemy."

Understand what?

Tell me if this deal is going to work or not!

Gano looked confused and shook his head.

Fang Heng decided to make it clear. He said, "What I mean is if you're willing to add something else, you know. After all, I've been chased by you for so long. It's a little difficult for me to pretend that nothing happened. I have to give my men an explanation too. You have to give me some compensation."

"Understood! Our Chamber of Commerce is willing to provide some additional resources as an apology for the unpleasantness that happened before!"

You should have said so earlier!

It was not much of a big deal. Gano immediately nodded in agreement.

His task was to convince Fang Heng to complete the deal.

Who cares!

As long as it was within his authority, he would give it all!

Gano directly revealed all his trump cards.

In any case, it was their Chamber of Commerce that suffered a loss.

The Culodi Chamber of Commerce was a big business and could afford to lose!

"I can control all the materials in the Culodi Chamber of Commerce's warehouse in Frost City. I don't have the authority to control anything else…"

"Very good, then we have a lot to talk about."

Fang Heng admired Gano's decisiveness.

He had more important things to arrange, so he didn't want to argue over such a small benefit. He directly finalized the deal. In addition to the two boxes of tools that targeted the shady line, he took all the materials warehouse set up by the Culodi Chamber of Commerce in Frost City.

In exchange, Fang Heng gave Lady Garona's letter of recommendation and also information about the shady line of Frost Hell.

Gano memorized every word Fang Heng said.

Finally, Gano closed his notebook and looked at Fang Heng, pleading, "Mr. Fang Heng, there's something else I need to trouble you with. Please help me keep the matter of our deal a secret for a period of time. It's best if you can continue to collect the items for trade for a period of time."

Fang Heng looked at Gano and immediately understood.

He didn't expect this kid to be so smart.

Once the news of the deal was leaked, people would definitely guess that it was Gano.

Gano might run into trouble on his way back.

"Sure, you can follow the guards and leave through the back door. I'll announce to the public that I've completed the transaction with your trading company latest tomorrow."

"Thank you."

Gano was overjoyed and thanked him profusely. He quickly put away the recommendation letter and left the hall under the lead of the guard.

Fang Heng's gaze focused on the two wooden boxes on the table.

He had obtained the last piece of the puzzle that was needed for his plan.

Everything was in place!

From now until tomorrow morning, he needed to work with Ji Xiaobo to seal all the Ice Bones.

There was also the production of various magic arrays.

…

Three in the morning, Yatsek had just rushed to the city of Vettel with his men overnight.

He was secretly monitoring Lady Garona with the Culodi Chamber of Commerce team.

Fang Heng would definitely come!

Definitely!

Yatsek firmly believed that his guess was correct.

A subordinate hurried over and whispered a few words into his ear.

Yatsek was stunned.

What?

The transaction was successful?

With Fang Heng?

Could this deal be successful?

When he heard that the transaction of the ice treasure had to go through the first round of review by the Quartermaster, he was even more convinced of his guess.

Everything was a scam!

It was impossible for anyone to pass the first round of assessment!

Fang Heng was not there at all!

However…

The transaction went through and it was with Culodi Trading Company?!

Yatsek's mind went blank for a moment before he snapped back to his senses. He grabbed his subordinate's wrist and questioned sternly, "Where is it? Did you get the item? Have you confirmed the authenticity?"

"I've already confirmed it with the Quartermaster of Frost Fortress. It's authentic and has the mark of the City Lord of Frost Fortress."

Yatsek opened his mouth.

What was going on?

For a moment, he felt as if his faith had collapsed.

Everything did not develop in the direction he had expected.

"Where's Gano? Where is he?"

"He has already returned to the main city under the escort of the team. He is now at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Other than the recommendation letter, he has also obtained some information related to the shady line."

"What about the price? What are the conditions?"

"A Melting Fire Troll Overlord's heart, an environmental magic scroll, and 26 pieces of precious equipment…"

The subordinate immediately handed over a list and replied, "This is the transaction list. Please take a look."

Yatsek took the list and looked at it. He immediately frowned.

D*mn it!

Gano, that imbecile!

He actually paid such a huge price!

The entire warehouse of the Frost Hell was traded to Fang Heng.

Among them were two extremely important tools: the Melting Fire Troll Overlord's heart and a magic scroll that could change the environment.

That was the accumulation of the trading company over the years.

Oh right, they could be used for dealing with the source of the shady line!

Yatsek felt his heart ached.

But…

If he could really get the recommendation letter from Lady Garona and the information from Fang Heng, then all this was worth it!

However, Yatsek felt that it was strange.

Would Fang Heng be so kind?

"Let's go! Let's go back!"

Yatsek could not wait to rush back, wanting to get first-hand information.

…

The next day, at noon, outside the cave in the depths of the shady line, Fang Heng checked the operation of the magic array from beginning to end, then closed his eyes to rehearse the battle plan in his mind.

Very good.

There were no mistakes!

Fang Heng walked in front of everyone and nodded. He said, "Time's up. We can start now."

"Yes."

Xu Xun and the others looked at each other solemnly.

Before they entered the source of the shady line, they would never have thought that they would see the crack and the great holy sword here.

Even if the three of them worked together, they would not be able to break through the inner seal of the great holy sword.

After checking the source of the shady line, the progress of Milani's main mission increased by 2%.

They had been stuck on the talent advancement mission for so many years. Seeing that there was some glimmer of hope in advancing the mission, the three of them were somewhat nervous.

According to the plan, the three of them had to wait. They need to wait for the Saintess to descend from the ritual.

Fang Heng did not explain how he did it.

Fang Heng then pointed to the two huge Coffins of Disaster beside him and instructed, "Viona's advancement plan can't guarantee success. The biggest risk lies in the shady line. In the worst-case scenario, the shady line will explode out of control. You can hide in the Coffin of Disaster. I'll think of a way to bring you out."

"Good!" Xu Xun nodded and said, "Leave this place to us. Be careful. Good luck."

Fang Heng glanced at the magic array ritual behind the three of them and the believers of the Holy Court who had gathered in front of the ritual.

"Ji Xiaobo, let's go."

"Alright!"

Ji Xiaobo replied excitedly and followed Fang Heng into the cave at the source of the shady line, closing the door to the cave.

1615 Complete

Inside the cave at the source of the shady line, the great holy sword was still releasing holy aura fluctuations.

The undead creatures in the surrounding area had already been cleaned up by the undead Bones leader controlled by Fang Heng in advance.

Now, he could focus on dealing with Viona!

Fang Heng faced the great holy sword and asked Ji Xiaobo, "Are you ready?"

"Of course! Of course! Brother Fang!"

Under Ji Xiaobo's expectant gaze, Fang Heng stretched out his hand.

"Kacha kacha…"

The pocket-sized robot came out of Fang Heng's sleeve.

The shadow of an ultra-small spatial teleportation hub appeared in front of him.

Soon, the teleportation hub was gradually solidified after the energy was injected into the pocket-sized robot.

An azure space passage appeared in the cave.

"Brother Fang, I'm going."

Ji Xiaobo nodded at Fang Heng and stepped into the teleportation passage.

A minute later, Viona walked out of the space passage under Ji Xiaobo's surveillance with her blindfold on.

The moment she stepped out of the teleportation passage, Viona felt a cold and undead aura around her.

"What is this place?"

"A quiet place. You can take off your blindfold now."

Fang Heng said expressionlessly. He took a small step to the side, put away the teleportation hub, and displayed the great holy sword on his back.

Viona sensed that she had passed through a space passage.

However, she did not know where she was exactly.

When she took off her blindfold and saw the great holy sword in the middle of the cave, she couldn't help but be surprised and whispered, "Voice of Heaven…"

The great holy sword-Voice of Heaven.

One of the lost holy artifacts in the holy realm.

The memories from the Saintess' inheritance allowed Viona to know the name of the great holy sword in front of her.

As for the origin of the holy artifact, she was not sure.

She could feel that once she came into contact with this holy artifact and obtained its recognition, her strength would increase substantially!

But now was not the time.

Not to mention that she was still in a sealed state.

Even if she wasn't sealed, she still couldn't control the holy artifact with her current abilities.

Viona slowly shifted her gaze to Fang Heng. She was extremely wary of him.

Fang Heng!

He could even find a lost holy artifact in the holy realm!

This person was too scary. She had to get rid of him as soon as possible!

Viona gradually hid the killing intent in her eyes and became gentle.

Fang Heng walked to Viona's side and looked at the great holy sword in the center of the cave. He asked, "You recognize it?"

"This great sword is a lost holy artifact from the holy realm. It's called the Voice of Heaven."

"Why is it here?"

"I'm not sure. Only a small portion of the Saintess' inheritance has memories of it. I am not able to give a reason as to why it is here because some of my memories are missing."

Viona said as she looked at the crack suppressed by the great holy sword with some fear.

A cold aura was constantly leaking out from the crack.

The entire cave was filled with this cold aura which was mixed with the smell of the undead.

It made her very uncomfortable.

What was this place?

Viona looked around.

She guessed that Fang Heng probably wanted her to take down this holy artifact, so she said, "Fang Heng, with my current ability, I can't get close to the holy weapon unless I awaken a part of the Saintess' inheritance power."

"Yes."

Fang Heng nodded. He had foreseen this as well.

"It doesn't matter. You can start the awakening ritual of the Saintess' inheritance power now. I've prepared the props for the advancement ritual for you."

After saying that, Fang Heng pointed at a wooden coffin placed on the right side of the cave.

Viona looked at the coffin with a puzzled expression.

The two zombie clones standing beside the wooden coffin worked together to open the lid.

Whoosh!

The moment the lid was lifted, a dark golden light seeped out from the coffin!

What the hell!

Viona's expression changed again when she saw what was inside the coffin.

It was actually the holy beam space!

How did Fang Heng get his hands on it?

And what was sealed by the holy beam space was actually…

Viona stared at the unconscious Sheng Tao.

A demon!

A human who had made a contract with the demon!

Viona turned her head and looked at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng said, "Get rid of the demon that possessed him. You can complete a small part of the awakening of the Saintess' inheritance, right?"

"How did you know?"

"Gan Honghua told me."

Gan Honghua stayed in Watts as a pawn for awakening Viona's inheritance. This chess piece had been activated by Viona in advance because of the 'demonic seed' within him.

Fang Heng had indeed been tricked.

However, he also learned about Viona's awakening from the notebook left by Gan Honghua.

After purifying Sheng Tao, Viona would be able to obtain a small portion of the Saintess' inheritance after awakening it.

If she could purify the 'demonic seed', Viona's Saintess' inheritance would awaken even more.

Fang Heng's gaze was calm as he looked at Sheng Tao, who was still unconscious, and said, "After you complete your awakening, you should be able to control the great holy sword and remove the contamination in my body."

"Hmm, alright."

Viona slowly retracted her gaze from Fang Heng.

Ji Xiaobo watched Viona's every move and warned her in a low voice, "Hey, I am warning you not to play any tricks. I will be watching you!"

Viona glanced at Ji Xiaobo but didn't say anything.

This group of people did not know how terrifying the Saintess' power was.

When she awakened part of the Saintess' inheritance power, her strength would be greatly improved.

At that time, she would be able to break the cursed soul spike that Ji Xiaobo had left in her body at a much smaller cost.

By then, she could take the initiative.

Viona did not move. She slowly walked up to the unconscious Sheng Tao and gently pressed her hand on the holy beam space.

"Swoosh…!"

The holy beam space suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light that illuminated half of the cave!

"Roar…!!"

The red demon phantom attached to Sheng Tao woke up first and let out a painful howl!

The demon phantom was trembling!

Sheng Tao woke up from his coma after being triggered.

"What?!"

Looking at Viona, who was activating the power of the holy beam space in front of him, Sheng Tao's face turned pale.

He could feel the demon's power in his body being extracted at a fast speed!

His life was also being taken away!

"Who are you? Let go of me! I was forced. I was also bewitched by the demon…"

Viona turned a deaf ear to Sheng Tao's pleas for mercy as he struggled to hold on to his life force. She closed her eyes and prayed silently.

The holy beam space was prepared for her to awaken the Saintess' power!

Red mist rose from Sheng Tao's body and his skin turned red and hot as if it was being burned. He kept howling in pain.

Pain engulfed Sheng Tao's will and his eyes were filled with extreme hatred as he cursed loudly!

"I will never let you all off!"

"The Holy Court! The holy realm! And you! Fang Heng!"

"You will all go to hell! You will all be devoured by the demons…!"

The sound of his wailing gradually died down, and Sheng Tao's life force was rapidly draining away.

As the purification ritual was gradually completed, specks of Holy Light energy fluctuations continued to overflow from Viona's body.

1616 Unsealing

Ji Xiaobo was a little worried and secretly gave Fang Heng a look.

A few days ago, Ji Xiaobo had already noticed that the seal on Viona's soul spike was showing signs of loosening.

Now, with the awakening of Viona's Saintess' inheritance, the seal had loosened once again, and there were signs that it was getting out of control.

Fang Heng noticed Ji Xiaobo's gaze and gave him a reassuring look.

Whoosh!

When the light in Sheng Tao's pupils completely disappeared, Viona suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes contained a faint sacred luster.

Viona sensed her condition and turned to look at Fang Heng.

Fang Heng asked, "How is it?"

"The demon in Sheng Tao's body is not of a high level. Purifying it can only complete a small part of the awakening of the Saintess' inheritance."

Fang Heng asked, "How much?"

"Less than ten percent."

Fang Heng sized up Viona, thinking about how credible her words were.

A fully awakened Saintess' peak power could reach the Demigod level.

Right now, Viona was just a shell.

Even if she only had one-tenth of her peak strength, it would still be extremely difficult to deal with her.

Fang Heng pointed at the great holy sword in the center of the cave and asked, "Can I acquire the holy weapon now?"

"We can give it a try."

Viona also turned her head to look at the giant-sized holy artifact in the center and said, "The prerequisite is that you have to believe me and be willing to help me undo the seal on my body."

"Of course."

Fang Heng answered without hesitation and nodded at Ji Xiaobo who was by the side.

"Help her undo the seal."

"Hello, Fang Heng!"

Ji Xiaobo was shocked.

What the hell!

Taking the initiative to help Viona undo the seal on her soul spike?!

He knew that Fang Heng wanted to deal with Viona, and he also wanted to maximize the benefits. After feeding Viona's Saintess awakening power to a certain extent, he would seal her completely and hand her in for the mission.

But…

The greater Viona's strength, the greater the risk.

Playing so big?

Was he not afraid of death?

"Unseal it."

Fang Heng's expression was calm. He looked at Viona again and said, "Viona, I'm willing to trust you again. I might as well tell you that I've already found a way out. My soul has already found its home in advance, so don't think about killing me. Of course, you can also try to take a gamble."

"Fang Heng, I won't harm you. You're not guilty. You're only affected by the power of the demonic seed."

Viona's gaze toward Fang Heng was filled with gentleness, unconsciously adding a hint of the holy system.

As long as her soul spike was unsealed, her power would return to its peak!

At that time, the situation would be completely reversed!

She could firmly control Fang Heng in her hands!

The only thing she had to be wary of was the sacred tree.

She was patient.

Fang Heng needed to be eliminated.

But now was not the time. She still needed to find the ritualist behind Fang Heng.

This was the only way for her to completely unlock her soul awakening.

Viona's face was full of sincerity as she continued, "Please accept my help. Reveal in the name of the Holy Light. Fang Heng, I will help you remove the contamination in your body."

Fang Heng stared at Viona's face, and a line of game prompts quickly flashed across his retina.

[Hint: The player has been affected by the skill-Piety. The player's willpower and soul strength have been successfully determined. The player is immune to this hint effect.]

Tsk!

The Holy Court!

Fang Heng became even more vigilant.

Viona's psychological cue was stronger than before!

He could already feel the urge to trust Viona.

On the surface, Fang Heng nodded and said, "I hope you keep your promise."

"Ji Xiaobo, you can start now. Unseal it."

Seeing that Fang Heng was serious, Ji Xiaobo couldn't help but grit his teeth. He activated a spell in his hand and chanted a spell.

Wisps of gray mist gradually dissipated from Viona's body.

"Pfft! Tsk tsk…"

The soul spike that had pierced into Viona's body was also pulled out, floating back to Ji Xiaobo's side.

Viona closed her eyes again, sensing the recovery of the holy power in her body.

All the way to the peak!

As the last soul spike was pulled out, Viona's body was enveloped in a faint layer of holy power.

Holy power flowed out of her body unconsciously.

Fang Heng stared at Viona, watching the holy power fluctuations around her, and he was secretly vigilant.

She had only awakened less than one-tenth of the Saintess' power, yet Viona's strength had reached such a level!

Now was his best chance.

After all, the Saintess' inheritance power was an external force.

Viona had just awakened, and her body still needed time to adapt to the huge power she had just obtained.

Viona was still unable to fully control this power.

The best proof of this was that the holy fluctuations were not restrained!

Fang Heng had already rehearsed countless times in his mind.

Whether Viona immediately turned hostile or continued to feign civility, he had already prepared enough to deal with her.

Fang Heng whispered, "Viona."

Whoosh!

Viona suddenly opened her eyes, and two beams of holy fire shot out from her eyes.

Ji Xiaobo shouted, "Be careful!"

Fang Heng turned his body slightly to avoid the two holy flames.

"Boom!!!"

Two streams of holy fire burned two deep holes in the cave wall behind Fang Heng.

"I'm sorry, Fang Heng. I just awakened the Saintess' power, so I can't control it well."

Viona looked apologetic.

The feeling of power returning to her body was great! Viona could feel the holy power surging in her body.

Now, Fang Heng was no longer a threat in her eyes.

He had become an existence that could be played around with at will.

The absolute suppression of power caused Viona to lose some of her vigilance.

Viona nodded at Fang Heng and said, "Fang Heng, my current strength is enough to remove the pollution in your body. We can begin."

"There's no hurry. Let's wait."

Fang Heng judged that Viona did not make a move directly. She was most likely preparing to continue using him.

Very good!

Moving on to the next step!

Fang Heng raised his hand and pointed at the great holy sword in the center of the cave. He said, "Before solving the pollution problem, I want you to control the holy sword first."

Viona looked at the holy sword in the center of the cave, and a hint of surprise flashed across her brows.

"You want me to take the holy artifact first?"

"Yes."

"With your current ability, you can control it, right?"

Viona looked at the holy artifact and nodded. She replied, "Indeed, I can do that but aren't you worried? Once I obtain the holy sword, it will stimulate the Saintess' inheritance power. At that time, my strength will increase again. Aren't you afraid that I'll harm you?"

Fang Heng looked at Viona calmly and asked, "Will you?"

Viona's gaze softened as she said, "I won't, Fang Heng."

"That's good. Compared to this, I'm more worried that your strength is not enough. You won't be able to completely remove the pollution in my body, and there will be some hidden dangers left behind."

Viona understood and nodded. She replied, "Indeed. The pollution in your body comes from the main body of the 'Tongues of Jealousy.' It's extremely strong. For safety's sake, it's better to wait for my strength to increase before removing it completely."
