I'm really a necromancer

After review at the karma level, Yihua eventually absorbed nearly a thousand people.

This exaggerated expansion speed naturally attracted the attention of other forces composed of talented apprentices.

However, in the early days, although Yi Hua had the identity of the vice president's direct disciple, the Illuminati itself lacked sufficient top-level power. Although there were many members joining the organization, they were all just a few big cats and small cats, and they could not arouse the vigilance of other apprentice forces at all.

Due to the fact that they were unaware that Yihua had spiritual powers to rely on, most people believed that the Illuminati was just a farce. Due to its overly loose contracts and generous membership rewards, it would be a short-lived flash in the pan before quickly declining.

But as time passed, the Illuminati not only did not decline, but after a brief digestion, it began a new round of expansion.

The Illuminati at this time really aroused the curiosity and vigilance of other vigilant people.

However, the Illuminati really attracted the attention of other forces during a conflict several months ago.

In a flash, Yihua reviewed the experience of the Illuminati from its establishment to the present.

Without wasting any time, he quickly gathered the trusted senior apprentices in the Illuminati and asked for a six-month vacation from Mentor Hain, the vice-president of the Nine-Ring White Tower.

After that, Yi Hua, along with more than a dozen fourth and fifth-level apprentices of the Illuminati, boarded a boat and set out again on the journey back to the Star Tree Islands.
-
Three months later, in the Star Tree Islands, the remains of the Jiuhuan White Pagoda branch.

"After a year and a half, I'm back again..."

Yihua, standing on the mast of the wizard ship, looked at the huge pit in front of him that covered an area of ​​several kilometers with the original high tower as the center, and couldn't help but sigh.

Gabriel and other Illuminati apprentices from the Star Tree Islands, who were also on the wizard ship, had mixed feelings.

"Mr. President, according to the latest intelligence, Pétain's traces appeared near the city of Leyton in the west of the Mar Empire."

After hearing Gabriel's report, Yi Hua flew into the air and ordered:

"Continue north."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Hua disappeared from the spot. Seeing this, the other Illuminati apprentices quickly took off into the air and tried their best to catch up.

Although the number of apprentices Yihua brought this time was small, they were all elite, and even the weakest was a fourth-class wizard apprentice.

About half an hour later, they arrived above an endless forest.

This is the Fangorn Forest that Yihua first passed through when he went to the city of Yor to purchase goods.

As a group of Illuminati apprentices rampaged over Fangorn Forest, a series of roars from fourth-level ferocious beasts rang out.

"Noisy."

As soon as Yi Hua thought about it, several huge fifth-level undead appeared in the air and flew towards the direction where the roar came from.

Bang bang bang!
After a while, accompanied by the violent shaking of the ground, a large number of trees fell down, and only a few wailing sounds were heard in the direction where the roar came from, and then there was no sound.

After clearing out the ferocious beasts that dared to show up in Fangorn Forest, Yihua set out again.

Soon, a fairly solid city appeared ahead.

This is the important border town in the south of the Mal Empire - the city of Yoel.

The original city of Youle had long been destroyed in the siege by ferocious beasts.

Today, the newly built city of Youghal has almost lost all traces of its original form, with only a few city walls still retaining a sense of familiarity.

As if sensing the presence of a group of Illuminati apprentices, a middle-aged Earth Knight rushed out of the City Lord's Mansion and looked at a group of wizards flying past at high speed in the sky.

Yi Hua subconsciously glanced down, then looked away.

The city lord's son who had a feud with Yi Hua had already been killed by him, and his father, the elderly third-class apprentice, also died in the subsequent siege by ferocious beasts.

On the contrary, the middle-aged Earth Knight who served as the deputy city lord survived and became the current city lord of Youl City.

The Illuminati apprentices marched at full speed, and after only a few hours, they had penetrated deep into the heart of the empire. During the march, creatures infected with the blood plague and the figures of the imperial knights fighting against them appeared on the ground from time to time.

This also allowed Yihua to confirm the accuracy of the information that Pétain appeared in the Mar Empire.

At this time, he was already very close to the city of Leighton in the west of the Mal Empire.

Now the empire is in the double chaos of the invasion of barbarians and the blood plague. When they arrive at the destination, it is a pity that Pétain has already escaped. However, they learn the key information of the blood plague wizard and eliminate the remnants of the blood plague. They go to help the great knight Walter to take revenge, leave the undead behind, locate themselves, and return to the Nine Rings White Tower.
-
In the town of Rackwen, on the outskirts of Leighton.

At this time, the town has turned into a hell on earth. The ground is littered with bloody corpses and blood is flowing like streams.

Wearing a red robe and shrouded in the power of blood plague, the young Pétain was standing on a hill of corpses, watching several fourth-rate blood plague wizard apprentices under him running around for him, collecting the power of blood plague.

"Yes, after slaughtering this small town, I have made another step forward in the realm of a fifth-level apprentice. I am not far away from becoming a formal wizard."

Suddenly, a cold voice without any emotion came.

"How much is left?"

Hearing this, "Blood Creator" Bei immediately said consciously:
"There is still a shortage of 30,000 people."

Suddenly, Pétain felt a chill in his heart.

This town had just been massacred by me, there was no way there were any survivors who could approach me without me noticing!
Being able to approach without my noticing, the owner of the voice must be at least a fifth-level apprentice!

"No! You."

Pétain, who suddenly sensed something strange, did not choose to turn around to check the owner of the voice due to his rich combat experience. Instead, he turned into a ball of blood mist and left the spot as quickly as possible.

"Strange? Why is there no one here?"

The moment this thought came to his mind, his sight suddenly began to fall, parallel to the ground.

At the last moment, Pétain only saw a headless body that looked somewhat familiar and still standing on the ground.

"I"

The brilliance in Pétain's scarlet eyes quickly faded and turned dull.

He didn't even have time to do anything to save his life.

The Illuminati apprentices, including Gabriel, were filled with emotion when they saw how their great revenge was achieved and how Pétain died so hastily.

But there was no time to sigh here. Everyone came to their senses and rushed out to kill several fourth-class blood plague wizard apprentices under Pétain.

Standing in front of Pétain's body, Ihua did not delay. With a wave of his hand, Pétain's soul was dragged by an invisible force into Ihua's palm.

"Search for souls."

Yihua closed his eyes and quickly browsed through Pétain's memories.

After a moment, he came back to his senses. Gabriel came forward and reported:
"Reporting to the president, we have eliminated several blood plague wizard apprentices and searched several villages within a ten-mile radius. We found no signs of any living creatures."

"Unfortunately, it was still a step too late, and the guy got away."

The blood plague wizard at the official wizard level who was the mastermind behind Pétain had already left the Star Tree Islands. Although Yihua felt a little regretful, everything was not beyond his expectations.

The Star Tree Islands are a full three months’ journey from the Wizard Continent where the Nine Rings White Tower Headquarters is located.

A lot of things can happen in these three months.

"In that case."

Xiang Yihua glanced at Walter who was standing beside him. (End of this chapter)
