Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 1081, Cleaning Eyeliner

Wu Heng continued typing, "Who is he?"

As soon as the message was sent, Glenda said thoughtfully, "Lilith is in charge of the association's intelligence network, so it's not surprising that she has information about the former cult leader."

"She just said 'acquaintance'." The Empress frowned. "I think it's more than just the intelligence."

The phone beeped again, and the two souls looked down at the same time. "Toredo Castain! The former Archbishop of the Grey Saint Church, one of the first sinners I banished forever."

"How did you know about him? Did you find the Land of Exile?"

Wu Heng and the two souls looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.

This was completely different from the information they had expected about the Twelve Heavenly Saints. This Saint was actually the former leader of the core religious institution of the Blood Clan.

This is quite a lot of information.

"Archbishop of the Grey Saint Church..." Glinda murmured softly.

The room fell into a brief silence.

"So this Toledo!" Wu Heng slowly sorted out the clues. "As one of the first exiles to escape, he chose not to return to the vampire clan for revenge, but instead founded the Twelve Heavens Holy Cult."

Granda said, "He must have realized that under the Association's ruling mechanism, returning would only serve to vent his anger and lead to constant hunting. Establishing a church on his own is indeed the right choice."

"A race with a long lifespan always has more ways to improve itself." The Empress sighed, "If the vampires reformed their society, their number of heroes would probably rival the elves."

"None of the tribes want them to change. It will be troublesome if they drink blood everywhere," said Granda.

Wu Heng continued typing on his phone, "I killed the current leader of the Twelve Heavenly Saints while purging them. From his memories, I confirmed that this person is their number one leader."

The other party fell into silence again, and then a message popped up, "Are you sure?"

Wu Heng replied, "If he didn't have twins, it would basically be him."

His appearance and ability to form the Twelve Heavenly Holy Church make him the most suitable archbishop of the Grey Holy Church.

It is actually not easy for anyone to establish a church.

Lilith's next message was filled with obvious confusion. "That shouldn't be the case. After he escaped, the most important thing he should do is rescue the others."

Wu Heng continued, "So this is his cleverness. He was able to hide it from the Whisperer, survive until now, and even establish such a large church."

After another long wait, Lilith finally replied, "Understood! I will update the Twelve Heavenly Holy Church files and launch an investigation. You will need to submit a detailed action report."

"I'll write it when I get back."

"Don't run around outside all the time. Come back early."

"oh."

He ended the call and put his phone away.

Glenda floated to the table. "Now it depends on whether the Whisperer can track him down."

"It's actually irrelevant now," the Empress said from the other side. "Having not appeared for decades shows that he has long lost interest in the church. Given his cunning and forbearance, he won't rush into revenge."

Wu Heng nodded and expressed his agreement.

In this age of information blockade, as long as Toredo does not show up, this feud may never have any intersection.

Judging from the information we have so far and his character, it is very likely that even if he knew, he would not easily seek revenge.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the door, and the bearded deacon strode in with the egg yolk knight. The skeleton knight's armor was as shiny as new, and it looked like the battle just now was not very fierce.

"Leader!" the deacon saluted. "The entire Stone Shield Merchant Guild has been captured, and the level 17 professional 'One-Eyed Gary' who was in charge has been subdued by your Skeleton Knight."

Wu Heng's expression remained calm. "Detain the prisoners. Those who participated in the operation just now, prepare to follow me immediately."

"Leaving Crackhelm?" The deacon's beard twitched, and he looked troubled. "Master Chief, the association has a rule that local association members cannot leave without permission."

"Then transfer half of the troops and use them to reinforce the local guards. Tell them that I gave them the money, but the locals won't give it to me, so I'll go talk to them." Wu Heng interrupted directly, "We'll set off in an hour."

The butler's gaze paused on his face, and he nodded in response, "As you command."

Walking quickly out of the conference room, a gruff voice echoed in the corridor, "Teams one and three, assemble! Logistics team, prepare two weeks of supplies!"

When the footsteps faded away, Xiaoxiao and Benny appeared.

"There aren't any experts in the Chamber of Commerce. Egg Yolk can handle it all by himself." The little transparent hand patted the skeleton's shoulder and continued, "These people in the association are so scared. How pathetic!"

The Empress smiled and said, "Level 17 is already top-tier combat power at the border. What's more, they're afraid of the cult's subsequent retaliation."

"Hmph!" Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, "My uncle and I haven't even reached level 20 yet, and you dared to challenge the Pope alone."

"No normal person can compare to you two!"

"Personal attacks are prohibited." Wu Heng interrupted unhappily.

After waiting for a while, a team leader informed us that the personnel had assembled.

Wu Heng followed him out. Behind the association building, fifty selected personnel lined up in an orderly manner.

Part association member, part local guard.

They watched Wu Heng unleash his [Mansion Technique], and a mansion appeared in the crack.

"You go in first, and I'll let you out when we get there." Wu Heng said.

No one had ever seen the 'mansion technique', but under the guidance of the deacon, they still walked in.

Wu Heng turned off the magic, then left the city to summon the ghost train and headed to the village of the Twelve Heavenly Holy Sect.

……

Twelve Heavenly Holy Religion Village.

Standing outside the rules of the square, everyone gasped at the scene before them.

Hundreds of villagers were lying in the square and streets, snoring loudly.

Several skeletons stood silently on the periphery, on guard, with the soul fire flickering in their eyes.

"This is the headquarters of the Twelve Heavens Holy Sect." Wu Heng's voice broke the silence. "I have killed the leader and the high-level professionals. The rest are low-level believers. You will take them back for registration and reporting."

"You mean..." The deacon's hand unconsciously touched the hilt of the sword, his Adam's apple rolling up and down. "The leader of the Twelve Heavenly Saints is dead?"

Wu Heng nodded slightly, "Let's start detaining them."

As he spoke, he took out a carving knife and wiped it in the air, and the rules of the square in front disappeared.

The deacon took a deep breath, turned around and shouted to his stunned subordinates, "What are you still standing there for! Follow standard procedures! Group one will be responsible for security, group two will be responsible for registering personnel, and group three will prepare the transport vehicles!"

Everyone acted quickly.

Some believers howled like wild beasts as soon as they regained consciousness, and when they were pinned to the ground and tied up, they were still shouting slogans such as the gods would punish them or that the leader would be immortal forever.

A young teammate, while tying up the believers, sighed, "This cult that the association has been unable to deal with for so many years has been dealt with just like that?"

"Shut up! Get to work." The team leader kicked him in the butt, but he couldn't help but look not far away.

Wu Heng stood to one side, looking at the busy crowd in front and the believers who were cursing loudly and going crazy after waking up.

The deacon came over and said, "Sir, the situation is under control."

"I'll leave the rest to you." Wu Heng's eyes swept over the believers who were tied up tightly.

The deacon thought for a moment and said, "You will pass by Fort Rift on your way. Please inform the deputy deacon who stayed behind and ask them to arrange for people to meet you along the way to avoid any problems."

"Well, I'll let them know." Wu Heng glanced at the scene and continued, "Everyone should report according to the procedures, and you will be counted as part of the subsequent merits."

This sentence is like a drop of water falling into a frying pan.

The association members nearby all paused, and several team members who were tying up the prisoners almost loosened their ropes.

The merits of participating in the encirclement and suppression of heroes!
This... is something I wouldn't even dare to dream of.

Even if they were led by a hero, the assessment of their merits would be slightly lower, but it would still be enough for them to have a resume that would qualify them for promotion.

What a great thing!

"I guarantee with my life that I will never let the leader down!" The deacon's voice suddenly rose, and the team members behind him saluted and shouted in unison.

The guards who came with them looked at this side with eyes full of envy.

After all this time, there are benefits for everyone, so they are here to help, right?

Wu Heng nodded, and his figure disappeared with the light of [Teleportation]. The suppressed discussions finally broke out.

"So fucking awesome! He single-handedly took down a cult's lair!"

"I heard that before he became a hero, he dared to confront the Vatican..."

"Nonsense! Otherwise, how could I become the leader of the association?" (Outside the wilderness.)

Wu Heng put on the [train conductor's hat], the ghost train appeared, and Wu Heng boarded the train to return.

……

Temple.

Several figures stood silently in the dim bedroom.

The moonlight shines through the window, casting a shadow on the floor.

Two corpses lay on the bed. A silver dagger was stuck in the man's chest, and the woman's neck was twisted unnaturally. Both of their eyes were wide open in horror.

"Found it." A man in a black robe pointed to the space ring in his hand, "There's a radio in it, it must be him."

"Search again, leaving no trace." The leading black figure stood in the shadows, "Take away the body as well."

A man in black wrapped the body in a blood-stained sheet and put it into a space ring. He continued to rummage through the drawers, pry open the secret compartments, and even carefully sifted through the ashes in the fireplace.

"Nothing special."

After a moment, the dark shadows looked at each other, left through the window, and disappeared into the night.

……

The temple, in the innermost prayer room.

The illuminated stone chandelier casts light all over the floor.

The Pope sat upright on an ivory throne, his jewel-encrusted scepter resting on his knees, his fingertips stroking the emblem on the top of the scepter.

The room was so quiet that the only sounds he could hear were his own heartbeat and breathing.

Dong dong dong~!

Three restrained knocks on the door broke the silence.

"Come in!" The Pope's voice seemed to come from far away.

The man in the priest's robes knelt on one knee, his collar stretched open by the movement, revealing the gleaming metallic armor. "Your Majesty, seven spies have been eliminated! One of the association members was carrying a radio, and it's been confirmed that he was the one who leaked the information."

The Pope slowly opened his eyes and asked, "Was it passed to Wu Heng or Lilith?"

"I didn't dare to test it, for fear of alerting the enemy." The priest lowered his head even more.

"Forget it!" The Pope shook his scepter. "It doesn't matter who it is. Where is this person?"

"The body has been brought back and can be interrogated."

"There's no need to question the body," the Pope continued, "Is the city clean?"

"Even if there are fish that slip through the net, without the radio station, it will take at least half a month for the news to reach Treasure Island." The priest replied quickly.

The Pope suddenly stood up and slammed his scepter on the ground.

The chandelier swayed gently, casting distorted shadows on the wall. "Then prepare to invite the priest down to the mortal realm. It's time to remind those usurpers of God's majesty."

"I will obey the oracle!" The priest's voice was filled with unconcealable excitement.

The heavy oak door closed again, and the Pope gazed at the painted mural on the wall that depicted the gods descending to the mortal world.

……

The ghost train stopped on the beach of Treasure Island, the door opened, and Wu Heng got out.

He released the four ghosts and looked around.

Xiaoxiao came over and said, "Uncle, we are going to the commercial street to play, do you want to come with us?"

"You guys go ahead." Wu Heng smiled and shook his head, "Remember to tell me if you find anything fun."

"I know!" Xiaoxiao turned around happily, called the other three ghosts, and flew away.

When we left, it happened to be the time when an exhibition was being held on the island, so we missed the busiest time.

It’s not surprising that I want to go and see what’s happening as soon as I get back.

After the ghosts left, Wu Heng looked at the sea in the distance and thought, Treasure Island is still the best.

The scenery is beautiful and the construction is good.

[Teleportation] was released under the feet, and the figure disappeared.

When he appeared again, he had already returned to the island owner's mansion.

"Master!" Robert, who was directing the skeleton servants to trim the bushes, suddenly had his eyes lit up, ran over and threw himself into his arms.

Wu Heng touched her head and said, "You haven't been away for a few days!"

"I missed you so much." Robbe rubbed his chest, his tone full of coquettishness.

"Okay! Let's go to the living room and talk." Wu Heng put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the room.

In the living room, Minnie was walking out of the kitchen with tea and snacks, Shannara and Viola were checking the accounts at the coffee table, and the wood elf sisters were leaning against the window looking at their phones.

When they saw Wu Heng coming in, everyone immediately surrounded him and asked him about the trip.

Wu Heng explained the situation regarding the cleansing of the Twelve Heavenly Saints and then turned to the wood elf Shannara. "How was the exhibition?"

"It's been very successful. Not only are there many people visiting us, but they've also started asking about selling the radio." Shannella glanced at him, a hint of boasting in her eyes. "If you spread the word about the sale, you could fill a book with orders."

"So exaggerated?" Wu Heng raised his eyebrows.

Shannella said angrily, "You don't understand what radio means to the world. Whether it's the Chamber of Commerce or the country, as long as the price is not inflated to an exorbitant level, they will buy it."

Wu Heng nodded, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll look into the production issue. You can start placing orders for ballpoint pens, compass watches, and pills. We can keep up with the production."

"Okay, I'll arrange it tomorrow," Shannara continued. "By the way, there's news from the Snake Emblem Consortium that the annual auction has been set for the beginning of next month. The opera house has stopped performances and is beginning renovations for the auction."

"Is the schedule so tight?" Wu Heng was a little surprised.

Shannara smiled and said, "Treasure Island is at its peak of fame right now, so naturally we have to schedule things tighter. Also, the Great Elder is on his way here and will come visit you personally. The three resident elders from the Association have also arrived. They came to the Island Master's Mansion earlier, but you weren't there, so Viola received them..."

Shannara said softly that a lot had happened on the island during the time she was away.

But it's all good things.

"Treasure Island has finally ushered in its glorious moment." Wu Heng sighed.

Seeing that Shannara had nothing else to say, he glanced at the sky outside and said, "I'm going to take a shower first. We can talk again at dinner time."

Minnie smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat, Master?"

"Just be normal." Wu Heng said and walked upstairs.

……

In the bathroom.

Wu Heng leaned back in the bathtub, letting the steam blur his vision.

At this moment, the message alert sounded and the phone lit up blue light in the pile of clothes.

With a flick of his finger, the phone flew over.

Lilith's message was concise and clear, "You're back!"

It seems Xiaoxiao has already run to report the news.

Wu Heng replied with a smile, "I'm back. Come to the Island Master's Mansion for dinner tonight?"

"Take Xiaoxiao to the night market. Find some time tomorrow to have the three elders on the island visit you, so they can feel more at ease." Lilith continued to send messages.

"Okay, let's do it tomorrow!"

"Um!"

Seeing that Lilith hadn't replied, Wu Heng continued editing his text. "Any news from the Vatican? It's been a while since the last time."

Last time, I planned to ease the relationship with the Vatican through Lilith and the association’s radio station.

It's been a while, it's like I haven't believed in it anymore.

Lilith replied, "No news. Let's ask the association tomorrow!"

Looking at the message sent by Lilith, Wu Heng frowned slightly.

No news yet!

Holy See, what does this mean?
