Chapter 292: Chapter 166 I Contribute to the Divine Sect!_2

And for the necromancer who remained, his prestige as a leader became even more important in the eyes of the others.

"Revive, my pet beast!" At this moment, a young man shouted, and the dead pet beast beside him immediately had a spiritual body separate from the flesh and begin to take shape.

Seeing his own deceased pet beast truly resurrect as an undead under the effects of necromancy, the young man’s heart surged with emotion.

Just as he was about to thank Missionary Gao Li, suddenly, the figure of Black Feather appeared, quickly walking up to Gao Li and whispering some intelligence into his ear.

On the outskirts of Midwood City.

When Gao Li heard Black Feather’s report, his expression turned to shock, "What did you say?"

He immediately looked at the many new members and said, "That’s enough for today, you can go about your activities."

"I have some matters to attend to."

With that, he left the place with Black Feather.

"Someone infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion to assassinate you?"

"To be precise, someone infiltrated the City Lord’s Mansion. King of Sudden Death sensed the enemy’s hostility, commanded the pet beast to attack, scaring the intruder away. But the intruder’s pet beast has space attributes, very strange, we couldn’t keep him here."

"King of Sudden Death suspects the intruder is from the Imperial Army, but I can confirm it is indeed the Imperial Army because the intruder bore the Imperial Army’s badge!" Black Feather recalled, initially she hadn’t noticed, but after careful reflection, she confirmed it.

Obviously, to stir up the conflict between the necro system and the Imperial Faction, the Sunlight Knight came "well-prepared".

"Space attribute..." Gao Li’s expression changed, Space Attribute such a rare ability; no matter which department of the Empire one joined, one could easily obtain wealth and status. How could they appear in the small Midwood City?

Imperial Army... Impossible!

The Imperial Army would never let a talent with space attributes do dirty and tiring work like cleansing a "Necromancy Cult".

What merit or capability did their Necromancy Cult have?

Could it be a genius Beast Trainer from the common people who didn’t like the Divine Sect?

It should be so, the Death Divine Sect’s reputation under the Empire’s propaganda was very poor, and many Beast Trainer’s second generations, under the banner of "punishing evil and promoting good," took the initiative to participate in the eradication of the Death Cult.

If it was this Imperial Remnant Army, by dumb luck, that had received assistance from civilian talent, then everything would make sense. Although the Empire was riddled with hardships now, after all, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and many civilian forces still stood on the side of the Empire.

However, what Gao Li found unbelievable was that Lu Ran was actually able to detect the intruder and easily repel them.

That was someone with Space Attribute.

Even he would find it difficult to deal with an opponent with space abilities.

"Where’s King of Sudden Death? Take me to see him," Gao Li said.

"Ok."

Soon, Missionary Gao Li met Lu Ran again. He saw Lu Ran looking unbothered, and next to him, Mr. Husky, carrying Sword Grass, looking cool and arrogant, which made the corner of Gao Li’s mouth twitch.

"Brother King of Sudden Death, how did you detect the space attribute enemy? Black Feather said she even heard the intruder’s scream, you even managed to injure the intruder..."

"I originally thought you just had a high soul talent, but now I realize I was mistaken, your current strength is outrageously strong."

"It’s alright, just the enemy was too weak. My strength, high or low, does not affect my devotion to the Death Divine Sect..." Lu Ran said devoutly, "Brother Gao Li, rest assured, if the Imperial Army truly attacks, I will fight alongside you."

Gao Li, Black Feather: ???

Gao Li had approached with the intention of comforting Lu Ran, telling him not to be afraid of the Imperial Army, "Don’t run away", "If you have to run, we’ll run together, don’t give up on joining the Divine Sect.".

However, Lu Ran’s ideological awareness was so high that it left Gao Li astonished; this level of consciousness was not something that could be found even among his oldest subordinates, let alone a new member who had joined just one day ago.

"Missionary Gao Li, you’re not planning to run away, are you?" At this time, Lu Ran actually asked the question, worried that Gao Li, upon discovering the Space Attribute within the Imperial Army, might consider fleeing.

If that were the case, then he could only be "forced to take the throne" and raise the banner of resistance against the Empire.

"I... " If the opponent was too strong, Gao Li would, of course, choose to flee with his subordinates.

But the Space Attribute had just been beaten up by Lu Ran, and Gao Li, for a moment, was completely unable to judge the strength of the opposition.

"If it’s possible not to go, naturally I do not wish to go," Gao Li said to Lu Ran:

"To tell you the truth, in addition to promoting the Death Divine Sect in Midwood City, I also have other missions."

"Other missions?" Lu Ran was taken aback, then felt relieved. Indeed, the necro faction wouldn’t abandon the city so easily.

"Yes, missions. It’s fine to tell Brother King of Sudden Death; after all, it’s not a secret."

"These past two years, the Divine Sect has been conducting a research," Gao Li said: "One of the biggest advantages of the necro system pet beasts is that they can possess Beast Trainers, effectively having their own Fusion Skills, allowing Necromancers to combine with undead pet beasts for battle."

Lu Ran nodded.

"Possession is one of the necromancy characteristics’ main features."

"And the possession by undead pet beasts is not limited to Beast Trainers."

"If the undead develop their Attached Talent well, they can even possess other objects to complete their Evolution."

"For example, some of the higher-ups in the Divine Sect, Elders, Divine Envoys have successfully researched enabling the undead to possess Dragon Bone, Beast Bone, and evolve into undead bone beasts."

"This way, they retain powerful Soul Attack methods, and the soul gets a new, formidable body."

"Their strength is not inferior to those undead pet beasts that retain their physical forms and can further develop necromancy characteristics."

"Currently, the Divine Sect is no longer limiting the possession to dead bones. Some higher-ups have started researching how to make undead possess ’Weapons’ ’Armor’ to become Spirit Of Weapon-like entities."

"Of course, achieving this is undoubtedly more difficult."

"Therefore, a Forging Master inside the Sect came up with a method; instead of forcing the undead to possess weapons for Evolution, they place special weapons in the City of Death to naturally develop souls."

"Now, I am bringing such a specially-forged weapon from the Divine Sect, and I have buried it in the area of Midwood City where the aura of death is the strongest."

"So the Divine Sect’s mission for us is actually to occupy a City of Death to nurture the Spirit Of Weapon. If we abandon the city too easily, finding another suitable location will be exceedingly difficult, and my path to promotion will also be hopeless."

"Spirit Of Weapon???" Lu Ran was stunned after listening. The Death Divine Sect’s Forging Masters were playing such sophisticated games, to the point of researching weapons with souls? On further thought... Lu Ran was aware of many legends where powerful artifacts had Artifact Spirits, the combination of soul + weapon. This forging model might indeed work!

"Brother Gao Li, don’t worry," Lu Ran said. "You’ve been good to me; I will fight to the death if needed to help you repel the enemy."

"Oh, this." Gao Li was shocked; indeed, true heart begets true heart; his approach to developing converts was definitely correct!

"Brother Gao Li, do you have any spare soul-type ore on hand? Actually, besides being a Chef, I am also a Forging Master. Spirit Of Weapon sounds quite interesting, and I would like to study it, too. I wish to contribute to the development of the Divine Sect."

Gao Li, Black Feather: ???
