Chapter 909: Chapter 727, Corpse Core Research Report Chapter 909: Chapter 727, Corpse Core Research Report Yeko Kingdom, spies investigating the Evil Cult.
Needless to say, it was known to be the leader of the Flying Fish Pirate Group who had been sent there, apparently called 'Babuzzi.'
Wu Heng did not have a very good impression of him, especially when he had him investigate the Heaven Destiny Cult.
Bella had been killed just for passing on information, while he fattened up in the cult and became a key figure in the Church.
If Wu Heng hadn't gone over and destroyed the Heaven Destiny Cult himself, he might have even become a Sect Guardian, or some other higher position.
The impression he gave was that this guy wasn't spying, but rather enjoying his time there.
This time Wu Heng did not pay attention to that matter, yet Babuzzi sent back news.
After listening to Wen Mansha, Wu Heng continued to ask, “Is there any other intelligence?”
“There are two detailed pieces of intelligence, the sect has a significant number, stationed in the city, with several level 18 professionals, the second is about the Heaven Destiny Cult, which is waiting for the Bishop to arrive. If the Bishop does not appear within half a month, the smaller sects will be disbanded and merged into larger sects,” Wen Mansha finished relaying the remaining intelligence.
“Stationed in the city, that means they've obtained local permission,” Wu Heng noted the word 'stationed.'
With so many people in the city, all high-level professionals, it was impossible for the local authorities to be unaware.
They either acquiesced to their presence or the two parties had already reached some form of cooperation.
As for several level 18 professionals, that was not surprising.
Forming a sect always has its own purpose, mostly to gather faith and lay the foundation to become a hero.
You need to be at least level 18 to qualify to form a sect.
The second point is about the Heaven Destiny Cult, according to Babuzzi's intelligence, they are still unaware of the Bishop's assassination.
It's been such a long time, haven't they gone back to look for clues?
To see why the Bishop didn't arrive?
“That should be the case,” said Wen Mansha.
“There's no problem with Slyther's side, right?” Wu Heng followed up with another question.
“Master, rest assured, Steward Slyther's side is doing well, and our army has also entered the city to station there. There shouldn't be any danger,” Wen Mansha assured.
“What about the attacking Skeleton Army?”
“The battles have all gone smoothly,” Wen Mansha said with a hint of pride, then continued, “Along the way, we've occupied several mines and important industries. No wonder some countries are always keen on expanding their territories; resources along the way can be seized.”
“Mark all the locations, I'll arrange for skeletons to handle the mining later.”
“Okay, also the ammunition left for me is not much,” Wen Mansha gently reminded.
The overwhelming advance of the Skeleton Army, aside from the characteristics of the Necromancy creatures, relies also on the firepower of guns.
Once out of guns, if all are changed to ordinary Cold weapons, their strength will significantly diminish.
“Use what you have for now, I'll send you some later,” said Wu Heng.
The ammunition production line was in mass production, and over at Gold and Silver Island, they actually didn't use much of it.
Using it in Lundham City also was somewhat effective; it was better than just adding to stockpiles and gathering dust in warehouses.
“Yeah yeah, when you have time, come back and see us, your daughter misses you,” Wen Mansha's tone softened.
“How old is our daughter now?”
“Okay, I miss you too,” Wen Mansha said sweetly.
Wu Heng laughed, “If your daughter hears this, won't she be embarrassed?”
“My daughter is sleeping next door,” Wen Mansha retorted then asked, “Does Master like that?”
“I do, when I have time, I'll come see you both.”
“Okay, Master!”
After finishing their conversation, they hung up the phone.
Wu Heng leaned on the desk, beginning to ponder the situation.
The sect's residence in Yeko Kingdom didn't seem to have a direct effect on him.
But their purpose…
To kill the association investigation team?
“The timing doesn't match.”
If the gathering of these sects was meant for killing the headquarters' investigation team, the timing was off.
Babuzzi's message to Black Stone Town would certainly arrive before the investigation team's.
Thus, the sects' original plan was not aimed at the headquarters' investigation team; it was more likely related to internal affairs within the Kingdom.
It might very well be related to the Crown Prince.
But it also seems far-fetched; even if the Crown Prince wanted to fight for the throne, would he need to take such a risk by involving the Evil Cult?
And with so many level 18 professionals, who are they planning to attack?
But with these people gathered inside the Kingdom, and the headquarters' investigation team going there at this time, it's likely that something dangerous could happen.
“Still, I should inform the headquarters and the investigation team.”
Hiding this from them wouldn't be beneficial for him.
It was necessary to let the headquarters' investigation team minimize some losses.
Knock-knock-knock!
A knock sounded, followed by the voice of the cat maid Robey, “Master, breakfast is ready. It will get cold if you don't eat it now.”
“I'm coming.” Wu Heng opened the door and went downstairs to the dining room for breakfast.
He took a simple bite.
The skeletons took the plates away.
Wu Heng put on his coat and hood, covering himself entirely.
“Mini, I'm stepping out for a bit. I'll be back for lunch at noon.”
“Alright, Master.”
Leaving the Island Lord's Mansion, Wu Heng took a carriage to the association.
The streets were noisy along the way, with vendors calling out loudly and long lines forming in front of shops.
Gold and Silver Island had entirely lost its appearance as a pirate island.
If one didn't know about past events here, they wouldn't associate it with pirates.
Now, it was a brand-new island, the commercial hub of the Emerald Sea.
Arriving at the association's entrance, Wu Heng got off the carriage and entered.
The hall inside was still lively, with people gathered in groups of three or five, discussing some recent hot topics.
He walked through the corridor to the Steward's Office, knocked, and then went straight in.
A faint scent of flowers filled the room.
The two sisters were at their desks, dealing with paperwork.
Seeing Wu Heng come in, their eyes lit up.
“The Grand Island Master is so free today?” Xi Ligui said with a smile.
“Of course, I'm here on important business,” Wu Heng replied.
“What's the matter?” Xi Ligui asked.
“Do you remember 'Babuzzi'? The one we sent out to gather information on the Heaven Destiny Cult?” Wu Heng said.
Xi Ligui thought for a moment and nodded, “I remember. Does he have information?”
Wu Heng had been to Black Stone Town to kill members of the Heaven Destiny Cult and had seen Babuzzi once.
Xi Ligui had seen this person when the Pirate King attacked Gold and Silver Island, so quite some time had passed.
It seemed she remembered well and hadn't forgotten about it.
“He has now infiltrated the core of the sect.”
Xi Ligui frowned slightly, “He really excels at these things.”
“Mhm,” Wu Heng nodded, then continued, “He has sent information saying that many of the cults are stationed in a city called Giraud, waiting for other sects to arrive, to discuss plans against the Ke Kingdom.”
“What kind of plans?” Xi Ligui asked with a frown.
Wu Heng shook his head, “He didn't specify, but I suspect it's something to do with the throne, or splitting up the congregation.”
Xi Ligui frowned, pondering the situation.
Shi Yali, at this time, brought over a cup of floral tea for him.
“What are your thoughts?” Xi Ligui asked again.
“My suggestion is to write two letters, one to headquarters, to mention this matter, and the second to the investigation team headed to the Ke Kingdom, to let them be aware and watch out for any related dangers,” Wu Heng stated his idea plainly.
Xi Ligui nodded, “Tell me the whole situation as it is, starting from when he got the intelligence. It will help me in writing the report.”
“Alright.” Wu Heng recounted the entire event, including why Babuzzi relayed the message to Black Stone Town and now to him.
After he finished, Xi Ligui thought for a while and began writing the report.
Everything written and done, she handed it over to Shi Yali, “Take it to the front desk, and mail it out according to the address.”
Shi Yali took the letters and left the room immediately.
Xi Ligui then asked, “Do you sense any danger in this matter?”
“It's unclear, but it very well may involve the throne.”
“Makes sense,” Xi Ligui nodded and then added, “Luckily, headquarters didn't assign you to infiltrate. We can't handle those of level 18.”
“Yes, fortunately.”
As they spoke, Shi Yali returned from outside.
“It's been sent, it'll go out this afternoon.”
With the discussion over, Wu Heng also stood up, “I'll head back now. If there's anything else, I'll come find you.”
“Mhm,” they both nodded.
Shi Yali said with a smile, “Come over to our place for a meal when you have time.”
“Sure!” Wu Heng agreed and then walked out.
Upon leaving the association, he went to inspect the production at the basic factory.
Back at the Island Lord's Mansion, dusk had fallen.
After dinner,
Wu Heng returned to his study, holding a printout in his hand.
The information was on the survivors trapped by ghosts, which Glenda and the others had secretly photographed.
The mobile phone shots were clear, and after minor adjustments, they could be directly printed.
Glenda had only seen a part of it.
The reports were divided into two types.
[Animal Growth Corpse Core Types and Timing Report] and [Controllable Superpower Experimentation Directions in Humans].
