"Thank the church for the help."
Caleb, upon hearing that the matter had been resolved, kept smiling awkwardly and thanked the oracle sent by the city church to deliver the ssage. "These are so gifts. I trouble you to deliver them personally. This one is for you, and this one is for Sir Hel, please pass it on on my behalf."
"Mm, no need to be so polite."
The oracle pondered to themselves that Caleb was reasonably sensible. They nodded lightly, took the gifts, and reminded, "One thing to note: Sir Hel is sowhat displeased with you this ti. Don't let it happen again."
Huh?
Don't let what happen again?
Caleb found it strange.
Normally, he had done plenty to attend to Hel's matters. Why would he suddenly be displeased?
He had only turned to the city church for help because he had no other choice.
"May I ask what has displeased Sir Hel?"
"Sir Hel has many important matters to handle in his daily work. He doesn't have the ti or energy for these unimportant missions. Think carefully about it yourself."
Caleb remained baffled, feeling completely puzzled.
Before he could ask further, his subordinate student Seth knocked on the door and hurriedly peeked in. Seeing soone inside, he quickly withdrew.
"I still have things to do, so I'll leave first. Take care of yourself."
The oracle noticed Seth outside the door but uttered nothing further. They stood up and left with the gifts.
Caleb frowned and glanced toward Seth at the door, "Co in. What is it?"
Seth hurried into the office, his face pale.,"Instructor, another B-level temple has issued a corruption alert for its magic array."
Again?
Caleb's eyelids twitched. A wave of unease surged through him as he asked, "Have you checked everything?"
"Yes. I didn't dare approach. I only observed from a distance at the temple's periphery and confird it was corpse sorcerers."
...
The Netherworld.
This ti, Instructor Caleb personally led a group of subordinate oracles to the front of the temple.
Looking up, a vast number of evil spirit bones had gathered around the temple's periphery.
In the center of the evil spirit bone cluster were over a dozen corpse sorcerers.
"Instructor,"
Student Seth cautiously scanned the surroundings of the temple, lowering his voice. "There might be hidden Underworld assassins among them. We dare not approach too closely."
Having once been bitten by a snake, they were extrely fearful, worried that even a small misstep would make them targets of hidden Underworld hunters.
"Mm."
Caleb took a deep breath and said solemnly, "Be careful. Let's move forward and try."
Huh?
They were going to go along as well?
Seth grumbled internally but still summoned his soul warrior spirit. Together with Caleb's soul warrior spirit, they ford a team and carefully approached the evil spirit bones.
The evil spirit bones slowly turned their heads, their gaze gathering on the frontline soul warrior spirits.
When the soul warrior spirits approached within two ters of the evil spirit bones, the entire cluster stirred and charged toward the soul warrior spirits, initiating an attack.
"Attack!"
The soul warrior spirits imdiately swung their holy longswords to confront the evil spirit bones.
Seth did not dare move forward and remained at the back of the team, controlling remotely. Caleb also did not dare approach closely.
"Instructor!"
Suddenly, Seth's heart skipped a beat. He whispered, "There!"
Behind one of the soul warrior spirits, a gray shadow abruptly appeared.
"Boom!!!"
As the shadow appeared, a reverse-cross red light exploded, shattering the holy armor of the soul warrior spirit.
Caleb's heart tightened violently.
His Tier 10 soul warrior spirit...
Was destroyed?
D*mn! Seth had not lied.
The strength of the Underworld Hunter had clearly reached commander-level.
But why were Underworld Hunters repeatedly appearing outside B-level temples?
"Retreat!"
Caleb did not have ti to think further. He shouted and decisively turned with his team to flee.
The students had already wanted to escape and imdiately followed.
Within half a minute, they had withdrawn from the Netherworld back to the church teleportation hall.
A cold sweat ran down Caleb's back.
He finally personally realized the strength of the Underworld hunters.
Each hidden strike could directly annihilate a high-tier soul warrior spirit?
Who could withstand that?
The students had suffered heavy losses in their two Netherworld expeditions. They looked at Caleb with grim faces. "Instructor, we..."
"Go back first. I will... report this matter to the city's central church."
Caleb dismissed the students, steadied himself, and returned to his office to call the city central church, reporting the situation in detail.
This ti, however, their response was cold. They only said they would record the report for the church hierarchy.
Strange.
Caleb felt inexplicably uneasy.
Why was he so unlucky, with anomalies repeatedly occurring at the Netherworld base he was guarding?
As he pondered, there was another knock at the door.
Adam entered.
"Adam? Is it you? How did you get in...?"
"Instructor Caleb, I am still willing to invest thirty million in the land deal with you. This is our final offer."
Adam looked at Caleb calmly, "Or you could try asking the city central church for help, but after being deceived once, I doubt they will co again."
Caleb's pupils dilated instantly as he stared at Adam.
"It was you!"
...
"Hehe, Fang Heng, your thods are still impressive,"
Zane's figure transford into a shadow, levitating beside Fang Heng. "After hearing about Caleb's situation, the remaining parties all accepted our offer. We have now secured all land plots around the fusion passage."
"Mm, well done."
Fang Heng nodded lightly and looked ahead.
Masses of soul warrior spirits and Licker groups ford teams, clashing with the continuously erging Netherworld creatures. The scale had reached millions, with hundreds or thousands of Netherworld creatures being eliminated every second.
anwhile, as the Death Realm fusion passage rapidly expanded outward, the first Netherworld temple was gradually enveloped by the fusion passage.
[Hint: Your Netherworld domain has expanded. A Netherworld temple is now under your control. Its faith growth rate is multiplied by 100.]
Huh!?
Fang Heng's pupils suddenly contracted upon seeing the hint.
A hundredfold faith growth rate?
Such a windfall!
Fang Heng closed his eyes again, sensing the sea of consciousness.
In the sea of consciousness, the light representing the faith of the Netherworld temple blossod a hundredfold, continuously supplying energy to the sea of consciousness.
So that was it... Perhaps this was why the guidance mission required him to act personally.
To gradually spread the death realm, eventually engulfing the entire Netherworld!
Zane, still unaware of what had happened, whispered beside him: "Fang Heng, this carries significant risks. Many church leaders will be displeased. They will continue to create trouble for us, and the city church will likely notice soon as well."
"Mm..."
Fang Heng opened his eyes and nodded lightly.
Would it stir up trouble?
It didn't matter.
He had never expected to remain hidden forever.
All he was doing now was buying ti.
Now that vast areas of the Netherworld were under his control, at the current rate of expansion, in another month, he could create a batch of creature groups constructed from Netherworld beings.
Moreover, the spiritual world was also a valuable resource. Temples could expand the breadth of his sea of consciousness, indirectly increasing his ntal strength.
Similarly, if he could fully fuse the spiritual world temples into his vampire world, the power he gained from the spiritual temples could theoretically increase a hundredfold as well.
