Inner City District.

Inside a Patrol Office, Wu Heng sat quietly in the room.

Silently waiting.

It wasn’t long before Glenda and Xiao Xiao flew back, one after the other.

Glenda shook her head, “I didn’t find anything special on my end.”

Xiao Xiao was somewhat excited, “Uncle, I found something! A large group of people have gathered and are heading this way, three 15-level professionals, and the rest are all 10-level and below, hundreds of them.”

Three 15-level professionals.

In Lundham City, that was indeed a luxurious lineup.

If this were the past, during Ereno’s time as City Lord, he probably would have had to voluntarily open the gates and cede the position of City Lord.

“Let me see,” Wu Heng said.

Professionals of level 15 shouldn’t be a problem.

However, the remaining number still needed confirmation.

Xiao Xiao’s ability to count was limited, and she was basically inaccurate with estimates over a hundred.

“Ao!” Xiao Xiao directly dived into the body.

The scene was shared as well.

On the road, a troop of people traveled toward the Inner City District from a distance, continuously joined by groups emerging from the side alleys.

Gradually increasing, the number approached around four hundred.

The shops on both sides also noticed something wrong and quickly closed for business.

After observing, Wu Heng let Xiao Xiao out.

Floating aside, she asked, “Is it the person we’re looking for?”

“Yes, Xiao Xiao, you’re awesome.”

“Hehe, I’ve made a contribution again.” Xiao Xiao beamed with joy.

Wu Heng then donned his cloak again and walked out of the building. He climbed up to the Inner City District’s wall and waited silently.

…

It wasn’t long before an overwhelming crowd appeared.

The number had already exceeded five hundred.

At the city wall location, a small team responsible for patrol headed to the gate below.

They glanced around quickly and went out to meet the people outside, “The gate isn’t closed; I’ll take you inside.”

“Hmm.” The crowd nodded.

They quickly passed through the gate and went straight into the Inner City.

At this moment, every member of the gangs was pleased deep inside.

This was considered the most important step completed; the next step was to attack the City Lord’s Mansion.

As long as they killed that woman, the entire city would naturally be theirs.

Their pace quickened.

When the last person entered through the city gate,
Whoosh~!

Suddenly, the skeletons that had been guarding the wall, without any movement, all looked down at once.

The dark muzzles pointed toward the crowd below.

“Fire.”

A command came from nowhere.

Bang bang bang~!

A series of explosions rang out swiftly from the top of the wall.

Intense gunfire, like a downpour, fell from the sky.

“Ambush, spread out!”

“Get up on the walls; kill those skeletons.”

“Get back under the walls, they can’t shoot there.”

Shouts rang out one after another.

Meanwhile, bodies already littered the ground below.

The gunfire ceased,
And a series of smoke grenades were thrown from above.

Thick smoke rose.

Countless skeletons wielding weapons charged directly into the smoke.

The smoke was in chaos.

Wu Heng stood on the second floor of a distant building, looking at the battlefield afar.

Xiao Xiao cried out, “Uncle, there are two 15-level ones, they are so fierce! You’ve lost quite a few skeletons.”

Ghosts are unaffected by the smoke and can see the fighting inside.

Wu Heng glanced at his side, “Kai Xiu, go and kill everyone inside, make it quick.”

The 18-level Skeleton Grand Boxer leapt down from the second floor.

Landing with a light tap of his foot, he turned into a streak of light and shot out.

His figure, stirring the airflow, cleared the smoke and charged straight into the combat area.

Bang~!

He charged into the battlefield and punched as he went.

A 15-level thief was sent flying backwards, crashing into the city gate.

He vomited blood profusely as his body slid down the gate.

At the same time, an armored warrior wielding a longsword struck down with a sword.

He said coldly, “Fist Master, it seems the intelligence was really inaccurate; there’s another high-level Fist Master. You can die here too.”

Kai Xiu dodged like the wind and swung out a punch with an overwhelming force.

The warrior steadied himself to defend, raising the longsword to block.

The clear, ringing sound of metal clashing echoed alongside a tremendous force that spread from the sword.

Such strength?

The warrior stepped back while Kai Xiu advanced without pause, his fists raining down like a torrent, pounding the sturdy armor.

With each punch landed,
The warrior’s body blew apart layer by layer, blood spraying from his mouth.

The longsword fell to the ground, and so did the warrior’s body.

“You’re not third tier!”

Kai Xiu didn’t respond, continuing his charge towards the remaining enemies.

Like a massacre, gang members were struck down one by one.

About half an hour passed.

The battlefield gradually quieted down, with a stench of blood hanging in the air.

At a distance, several of Wen Mansha’s subordinates tasked with blocking the roads hurried back.

Staring at the battlefield, some appeared dazed.

Was it over?

Were level 15 professionals so easy to kill?

Or was it that the City Lord had become so powerful after a few months away that he no longer considered level 15 professionals a threat?

Wu Heng descended from the building above and, seeing the group, asked, “Did anyone escape?”

“No one escaped,” the men promptly snapped out of it.

Wu Heng nodded, “Identify the corpses; who is the gang leader?”

“Right!”

The men began to distinguish the bodies.

Three level 15 bodies, four gang leaders singled out.

Wu Heng glanced at them and cast “Communicate with the dead” towards the first gang leader’s corpse.

The corpse sat up, gazing in this direction.

Wu Heng asked, “What was your plan?”

The corpse answered, “To follow three level 15 professionals and attack the City Lord’s Mansion.”

Referring to them as level 15 professionals sounded unfamiliar.

Wu Heng continued, “Who organized you, whom you know?”

The corpse replied, “The Wind Fire Party.”

“Apart from the people who came today, do you have others waiting outside?”

The corpse said, “Some stayed at the gang’s residence.”

“Apart from those who came, were there other gangs involved?”

The corpse answered, “There shouldn’t be any others.”

After asking four questions, Wu Heng felt he wasn’t getting any useful information from his mouth.

So he directly dispelled the magic, and the corpse lay back down.

Among the three level 15 corpses, he chose the thief who had died first and cast “Communicate with the dead.”

The corpse sat up, its murky eyes looking this way.

Wu Heng asked, “Is there someone else behind you?”

The corpse replied, “Yes, ‘Kristu’ provided us with information and funding, as long as we could take over the city.”

“Were you sure you could take over with today’s action?”

The corpse replied, “Not sure, but causing disturbance was also an option.”

Wu Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, “Tell me about ‘Kristu’s’ identity.”

“Man, in his forties, probably a businessman, very interested in this city.”

After a rough description, the discussion ceased.

It seemed that was all he knew.

Wu Heng continued, “Besides you three, are there other high-level professionals?”

“Not sure, probably none.”

The last question.

Wu Heng asked, “Where can we find this Kristu?”

“Don’t know, he would arrange for someone to contact us.”

After five questions, the corpse lay back down.

Wu Heng’s brow furrowed further.

This operation had the style of the Secret Cultivation Hall written all over it.

These fellows just wouldn’t give up haunting them.

Instead of causing trouble on Gold and Silver Island, they had set their sights on his Lundham City.

“This Kristu, have you heard of him?” Wu Heng asked the few beside him.

All shook their heads.

Wu Heng nodded and unleashed the “Battleground of Remains,” causing the remaining corpses to stand up.

The remaining bodies all turned into skeletons.

Including two level 15 corpses and the swathes of gang members that lay on the ground.

“You all will have to work hard and command the skeletons to clean up here,” Wu Heng instructed.

“Yes, my lord,” the men replied, beginning the cleanup.

“By the way, don’t speak of my return outside for now!”

“Rest assured, my lord, we know what to do,” the men immediately vowed.

Wu Heng nodded, mounted the carriage, and departed with the newly turned skeletons.

The men left behind commanded the guarding skeletons to tidy up the battlefield while whispering amongst themselves.

“When did Captain Wu Heng come back?”

“Just got back, and luckily we received information about these people.”

“He must have come back because his wife is pregnant, right?”

“I heard so, she wrote to the City Lord, he had to come back and see.”

“Yeah.”

…

Wu Heng rode the carriage back.

A sumptuous dinner was already laid out on the table.

Wen Mansha curiously looked at him, “You’re back so soon?”

“Killed some minor gang members, not much difficulty,” Wu Heng said offhandedly.

This time, Wu Heng didn’t even use the Machine Cannon.

Easier than expected.

Wen Mansha, somewhat surprised, asked, “Were there level 15 professionals?”

“Yes, all three are dead, turned two into skeletons standing outside as punishment, to vent your frustrations,” he responded.

Wen Mansha clapped exaggeratedly, “The master is incredible.”

Wu Heng glanced at the housekeeper beside him, “Stop fooling around.”

Sitting down together at the dining table, Wu Heng spoke between bites, “Have you heard of this Kristu?”
