“But what?”

“But I can provide you with another piece of evidence.”

Li Huan could barely recall one of Candace’s experimental sites. If the temple went to have a look, it would definitely be the nail in Candace’s coffin!

He did not really want to mention the location. After all, the people from the secret department were highly distrustful. If he revealed Candace’s secret experimental site, they might immediately become suspicious of how he got the information, and whether he was also a part of it, which would explain his rapid leveling up.

He had not wanted to attract that kind of trouble, but things had reached that stage. If he did not find a way to quickly resolve the issue, the situation would only become increasingly disadvantageous to him.

“What evidence?”

“There’s a mansion in the north of the city. Candace conducts his evil experiments there. I can take you there.”

When everyone heard those words, they looked at each other.

That kid. If he had known, why hadn’t he said so earlier?

“All right! Quickly take me there, then!”

The Priest did not suspect Li Huan at all. He stood up immediately, with a look of urgency.

How could such a dark, evil thing happen under the illumination of the Temple of Life?

He could not wait even a moment longer. He had to get rid of it as soon as possible!

Because they were in a secret stronghold, everyone could not be too overt in their actions. The basement had a few more tunnels. Everyone left in separate groups, and then gathered back at the agreed location.

Li Huan’s memory was already a blur. However, because the mission had been a relatively shocking one during the beginner stages, Li Huan could still vaguely remember the location of the mansion.

After repeatedly comparing the scenes in his memory, Li Huan finally locked onto a building.

That area was filled with large mansions belonging to rich people. But Candace’s building was actually quite unremarkable.

A person from the Secret Department leapt out. He was a Level 15 Assassin.

Oh, it looked like he usually did that sort of dirty work!

As Li Huan looked at the familiar figure of the Assassin, he silently gave a thumbs up.

There was no way he was wrong! It had to be there!

Li Huan watched the Assassin enter the mansion, and prayed silently in his heart.

If he really turned out to be wrong, even jumping into the Yellow River would not clear his name!

The Assassin who had just entered opened the gate of the mansion.

His expression was heavy.

There was something there! He must be right!

“He’s right. You’ll know when you come in and take a look.”

As soon as he heard that, the Priest hastily walked into Candace’s mansion.

It was the complete opposite of the normalcy that could be seen from the outside. The inside of the house looked like an image from hell.

One Mage apprentice was hung up by a rope, drawing magic from every part of his body.

The furnace next to him was refining the suffering Undead.

As for the bottles and jars beside it – each one was heavier than the previous.

Despite having seen that scene once in the holographic game, Li Huan still had the urge to vomit when he saw it a second time.

The Priest was rooted to the ground, stunned and helpless. He kept uttering words like “I’m sorry” and “It’s all my fault”.

After a moment of silence, Holy Light burst out from his body.

“Goddess of Life, please forgive my ignorance and negligence. I ask of you, help me purify these innocent souls.”

Life Aura instantly filled the entire mansion. The breath of the Undead was being rapidly purified by him, and all the Undead who were wailing seemed to have been freed.

“Priest. Next, we should…”

“Let’s go. Mage Tower. We must make Candace pay for this!”

In Mage Tower, Candace was speaking about the cultivation methods of meditation.

Just as he was really getting into it, the main door was thrust open by a Warrior. Following closely behind were two Knights in heavy armor. A few Assassins advanced quietly in the darkness, swiftly closing in on Candace.

Candace’s eyes narrowed. They were all people from the Temple of Life!

With a flip of his palm, he sucked out the lives of more than 10 Mage apprentices below the stage, and they became his enslaved Undead!

“Candace! It really was you!”

The Knight on the frontline threw the long spear in his hand. On the tip of the spear, seemed to be Holy Judgement!

“You all… why did you have to come and obstruct me?”

Candace knew that he could no longer hide his horrendous deeds. With a light wave of his staff, Mage Tower was no longer in its usual, peaceful state. It had became ominous and terrifying!

“Undead, rise again!”

A Necromancer’s Level 20 skill was recalling the souls of those who had died by his hands.

They maintained their appearance and skills from the period they were alive. But their overall strength would change according to the strength of the Necromancer.

The Undead could only delay the Knights’ attacks for a short while. One Knight was at Level 19, while the other was at Level 17.

It looked as if Candace could achieve complete Level Suppression. However, the Knights in the Temple of Life were almost invariably Holy Knights!

Knights, just like Mages, were basically a major class. After a class change, they could become Holy Knights, Dark Knights, and so on.

The calling of a Holy Knight was of course to eliminate evil!

Using Level Suppression and years of aura he had absorbed from the Mage apprentices he murdered, Candace barely stopped the two of them.

Just then, two waves of chill attacked him out of the blue.

Two Assassins suddenly revealed themselves, daggers instantly appearing in their hands. Their overflowing intent to kill enveloped Candace.

“You both… are still not good enough!”

Manic Necromancy blasted from Candace’s body, instantly repelling the two Assassins.

Before their bodies could crash heavily to the ground, two streams of Golden Light appeared under them, lifting them up.

“Sigh, those two Holy Knights’ levels were simply too low. Otherwise, which Holy Knight wouldn’t defeat a Necromancer?”

As he watched the chaotic battle before him, Li Huan got a little afraid. He opened his stat panel, and used his remaining skill points to level up Skeleton Summoning to Level 2.

Should there be any complications later, forcing him to get involved, he would not have time to add points at the last minute.

For some reason, in front of him appeared a continuously expanding space. It was Undead Space. And Skeleton King who was in that space was also gradually getting stronger!

“It was you!”

Candace finally noticed Li Huan outside the door of Mage Tower.

“It was you, you b*stard! It was you! You brought the Temple of Life here!”

Candace absorbed an immense amount of Magic Aura into his body. Then he charged towards Li Huan.

“Candace! What are you trying to do now?”

Just as Li Huan was hesitating whether to bring out Skeleton King, the Priest stood right in front of him.

“My Life Priest has arrived!” Li Huan thought.

The Priest’s eyes were filled with rage. He cast Holy Nimbus, followed by Close Proximity Holy Light.

Holy Nimbus was actually a healing-type AOE. The damage it inflicted was usually negligible. But when facing a Necromancer, the damage would multiply!

All the creatures summoned by Candace were wiped out by Holy Nimbus. Immediately after that, Close Proximity Holy Light made Candace dissipate in the Holy Light!

All that was left was an empty Mage robe on the ground.

As he looked at the cheering Priest, Li Huan could not muster a smile at all.
