Chapter 611: Chapter 503, Involving So Many
The assassin’s eyes were wide with terror as he said, “Don’t, don’t, whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you.”
The younger brother made no move.
The skeleton ‘Kerim’ had already slit his throat with a longsword, blood gushing out like a waterfall.
The assassin’s body slowly fell, twitching until motionless.
Wu Heng released [Communicate with the dead], and the corpse slowly climbed to its feet.
“Who sent you to kill ‘Kristu’?”
The corpse answered, “Our family’s master.”
Master?
Not a hired assassin but a guard.
“Who is your family’s master?”
The corpse replied, “The chairman of the Golden Wing Chamber of Commerce.”
Wu Heng looked at his subordinate Aukot across from him, who shook his head indicating that he was not familiar with this chamber of commerce.
He continued to ask, “Where is the chairman?”
“Inner City District, Eastern District No. 3, at the residence of Building 72, that’s where he lives.”
Aukot quickly took notes.
Wu Heng asked again, “What were his exact orders to you?”
“Kill ‘Kristu’, make sure the City Lord’s Mansion finds the body, then take the money and leave ‘Lundham City’. Return after some time.”
Wu Heng gestured with his hand, dispelling the magic directly.
The corpse fell down again.
Its equipment was stripped clean, and the body was tossed aside.
“Let’s go, to the Inner City District.”
…
Inside the carriage.
Glenda flew back from a distance.
She appeared and said, “A man, in his forties, when I entered, he was still asking if anyone had left Lundham City. He must be referring to that person we just encountered.”
“How many guards are inside?”
“More than twenty guards, one of level 15, the rest around level 10, and six servants.”
Wu Heng nodded and pulled open the curtain of the carriage.
“Aukot!”
“My lord.” The younger brother quickly approached.
“There are more than twenty guards inside, lead the skeletons to storm in and bring the man out, it doesn’t matter if he is dead or alive,” Wu Heng said. Then, to someone outside the carriage, “Kerim, follow them.”
After giving instructions.
Aukot led a host of skeletons, turned the corner, and charged straight to the front door of the residence.
Kicked open the building in front of him.
He stormed in directly.
The sounds of fighting and shrieking rose within the mansion.
It was chaos.
The fight did not last long, and the sounds of battle gradually ceased.
Aukot ran back, “My lord, it’s over. Your skeleton chopped off the head of the strongest one inside, and that merchant was also killed by the skeletons.”
“Go inside and check.”
The carriage drew nearer, and Wu Heng walked straight into the mansion.
The ground was littered with bodies.
Wu Heng glanced at the merchant in a brocade robe and bent down to remove the Space Ring from his finger.
[Space Ring (5 cubic meters)]
He examined its contents with his spiritual power.
Some personal belongings, Gold Coins and silver coins, as well as several drafted agreements.
[Sergon Tribe Iron Ore Purchase Agreement]
[Diaborg Copper Ore Purchase Agreement]
[…].
It seemed he was engaged in some trade agreements within Lundham City.
Purchasing a certain quantity of ores.
He pocketed the Space Ring.
Wu Heng cast [Communicate with the dead] on the body.
The opulently dressed corpse sat up, its cloudy pupils looking on.
Wu Heng asked, “Were the three level 15 professionals who attacked the Inner City District yesterday arranged by you?”
“Yes!”
“Why did you do that?”
“To take over Lundham City and make it a stronghold.”
Indeed, it was all his arrangement.
Wu Heng glanced at him, considering asking if it was the Secret Cultivation Hall’s doing, but the words did not leave his mouth.
Previously, I had inquired the bodies of Secret Cultivation Hall members.
When related matters were mentioned, the bodies would trigger some sort of secrecy spell, and the Wenshi would automatically be lifted.
I pondered for a moment.
I asked, “Are there any other people involved within the city?”
The body replied, “No more.”
Wu Heng asked, “If you take over, what will the plan be afterward?”
The body answered, “To use Lundham City as a base, to provide Yeko Kingdom with weapons and equipment, to gain a strategic advantage in politics.”
Wu Heng’s eyes narrowed instantly.
How come it’s related to the Yeko Kingdom again.
The last question.
“In Yeko Kingdom, what’s your plan?”
“To support the second prince, to become the king!”
Wu Heng’s eyes instantly widened.
He was even more astonished by this result.
Their scheme was even larger; they were now plotting for the throne of Yeko Kingdom.
And the old king isn’t even dead yet.
Five questions answered.
The body fell back down.
Wu Heng released [Corpse Battlefield], turning the bodies scattered around.
He continued, “Stand guard.”
Clatter-clatter~!
Skeletons took up guard over the mansion.
Wu Heng then left with his men, “Let’s go back.”
…
Back at the City Lord’s Mansion.
Wu Heng reported the results of the investigation to ‘Wen Mansha’.
The good news was, the matter with the three level 15 professionals had concluded, and the culprit behind the scenes had been found, already dead.
The bad news, the last merchant was almost certainly a member of the Secret Cultivation Hall, and these people were good at scheming.
Using some means, they attempted to intervene in the power structures everywhere, to seek greater benefits for themselves.
At the same time, it had something to do with the Yeko Kingdom as well.
This wasn’t good news.
Wen Mansha listened quietly, her face not overly concerned, “It’s so dangerous, why don’t you stay?”
Wu Heng was taken aback and pinched her face, “We can’t leave the association yet, nor can I leave Gold and Silver Island for too long.”
Wen Mansha rolled her tongue, sucking on his finger, muttering, “When will we no longer need to leave?”
“When we no longer need to rely on the association.” Wu Heng gently scraped Wen Mansha’s soft tongue.
Wen Mansha thought for a moment, then said, “Actually, it’s nothing much, Lundham City has developed to this point; it has attracted the attention of many.”
New novel 𝓬hapters are published on ƒreewebɳovel.com.
Wu Heng nodded, “By then, I’ll arrange for more skeleton guards, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you be in danger.”
“You say that as if I am afraid of these things.”
After dinner.
Wen Mansha took him, slightly disguised, and together they went to the city’s Money Cat.
They watched a song and dance performance in City that Never Sleeps, Lundham City.
Only after the performance ended did they return to their dwelling to rest.
…
The next day.
Zombie World.
Outside Jinjiang Apartment District.
Series of dense roars arose on the streets.
In the room on the rooftop of the building, two survivors huddled in a corner, trembling with their heads covered.
A middle-aged man with a receding hairline peeked out from underneath a window smeared with waste paper, watching as dragon skeletons with stark white bones soared past above the street.
They dropped concentrated ammunition, smashing into the zombie horde below.
After every bombardment, zombies perished in droves.
“Uncle Wang, is it, is it the base on the radio?” A young man asked softly from behind.
The man with the receding hairline swallowed and shook his head, “I don’t know, outside are skeletons bombing the horde.”
“Then it must be them, isn’t that their superpower, to control skeletons!” The young man was a bit excited.
The man with the receding hairline said, “But, there are no humans to be seen, only skeletons.”
“Are two monster groups fighting each other?”
Crackle-crackle~!
At that moment, a voice came through the radio.
“This is Xinfu City Base, can anyone in Jinjiang Apartment District hear me?”
