Chapter 1425: Chapter 1011: The Way to Kill Him

The next morning, early.

As Wu Heng descended the stairs, Lady’s puppet was sitting on the sofa.

"Do you have all the materials for the second stage?" Wu Heng sat down opposite.

"Yes, they’re all not rare materials." Lady hesitated for a moment, then said, "Last night, I encountered something strange in a dream."

"Did someone have an inappropriate dream?" Wu Heng joked.

"It was a pregnant woman." Lady ignored his teasing, "Her belly was parasitized by something, like a tumor, but it was squirming."

Wu Heng frowned and stopped joking, "Is she sick? Where I’m from, that can be surgically removed."

"It’s not an illness!" Lady continued, "I sensed the aura of necromancy, and I suspect something is being nurtured within her."

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The air conditioner’s cold breeze suddenly swept across the back of Wu Heng’s neck, causing goosebumps to prick his skin belatedly.

Using a pregnant woman to nurture something.

It sounds like one of those twisted movies from a past life.

"Tell me more," Wu Heng said, becoming serious.

Lady leaned forward, recounting what had happened the previous night in detail.

Wu Heng listened silently, his eyes narrowing slightly when he heard it involved followers of The Holy Court and occurred in the Holy Hall.

"When I talked with her, I could sense she was very devout and kind," Lady said softly.

"You want to save her?" Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then said, "Followers differ from ordinary people. They view suffering as a ’divine test.’ Perhaps this is her own choice?"

"Impossible! In her dream, she envisioned her child—very beautiful, very cute—definitely not some monstrous thing." Lady’s tone was firm.

Wu Heng said, "Share what you saw yesterday."

Lady left the puppet and entered his body.

The scene was shared from his mind.

In a dim room, a frail, thin-haired pregnant woman, and the bizarre tumor clinging to her belly.

Even the shared image was extremely unsettling.

The image ended, and Lady flew out, "Did you discover anything?"

"You’re aware of the association swapping the Celt Royal Family, right?" Wu Heng raised his head.

Lady didn’t understand why he suddenly changed the topic but responded accordingly, "I’ve heard some things; it caused quite a stir."

Wu Heng continued, "During that time, Prince ’Lu An’ from the Celt Kingdom wrote me a letter saying the Holy Court had taken a Special Item from the royal family capable of reshaping the body of a ghost. It intended to use this item to resurrect the religious leader ’Saidu’ whom I had killed."

The sunlight outside the window was suddenly obscured by clouds, plunging the living room into darkness.

Lady was momentarily stunned.

The affair with the Celt Kingdom was covered by Gold and Silver Island in newspapers.

But she wasn’t aware of Lu An’s letter.

Lady pondered for a while before saying, "You mean that what I saw yesterday was the ’Special Item’ of the Celt Kingdom, and it is nurturing the religious leader."

"That’s my guess," Wu Heng analyzed and said, "This kind of Special Item is forbidden by the association. In the Holy Hall of The Holy Court, who dares use such an item, and moreover, can make a follower willingly do so."

It’s only worth such an action for their religious leader."

"Is it really such a coincidence?" Lady was even more puzzled.

"It’s not necessarily a coincidence. The followers of The Holy Court have steadfast faith. The Holy Hall’s daily bell ringing drives away abnormal states in living beings, only those with extremely weak bodies would dream, experiencing a dream from watching a movie," Wu Heng analyzed.

"Whether it’s a coincidence doesn’t matter," Lady asked directly, "What do you plan to do?"

What do I plan to do?

Wu Heng glanced at her and said, "Are you sure the other party will dream of you again today?"

"I planted a Dream Seed in advance," Lady continued, "How can we kill this religious leader?"

Wu Heng thought for a moment and then said, "Judging by the current situation, the side effect of the Special Item must be absorbing the pregnant woman’s life force to supply nutrients. The key is whether it affects the pregnant woman."

Detaching the parasitic Special Item isn’t difficult, and neither is killing the religious leader, but from Lady’s attitude, she doesn’t want the pregnant woman harmed.

Lady nodded.

Wu Heng continued, "The Celt Royal Family members captured by the association should still have some held at the association’s headquarters. I’ll call Lilith later and see if there’s a way to find out anything."

"Wouldn’t talking to the headquarters cause any problems?" Lady followed up.

"It shouldn’t be a big issue, we’re just inquiring about the Special Item, without mentioning The Holy Court, and The Holy Court certainly wouldn’t dare bring up this matter," Wu Heng said bluntly.

"Alright, ask then," Lady replied.

As they talked, Mini walked in from outside, "Master, everything is ready."

"Good!" Wu Heng agreed.

Lady also said, "The second stage will be more intense. Given your body’s strength, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Just endure a bit more."

Wu Heng nodded, shedding his clothes.

Lady began to draw the runes for the second stage on him.

...

In the center of the courtyard stood nine metal furnaces.

The materials inside were no longer various herbs but included curved horn, white tusk, and some spine bones of ferocious beasts.

In the center, winding array patterns were also drawn.

Wu Heng, wearing beach shorts and covered in runes, strode into the center.

With yesterday’s experience, today’s procedure was simpler.

Sitting cross-legged in the center, Lady hovered as a ghost above, "In a moment, I’ll guide you once more, the rest is up to you. The Bone Forging with ominous Qi will be more difficult, but it shouldn’t be a big issue for you."
