In the dim underground dungeon, rows of special prison cells constructed from concrete and special steel stood neatly.

Although the prison cells were newly built, a thick smell of blood permeated the air as Fang Cheng stepped into the dungeon.

Bailey was imprisoned within, bound to an iron pillar resembling a cross. His left leg supported his body, while his right leg, severed at the root, had stopped bleeding.

However, his pale face clearly indicated his weakness.

“Tap~”

The prison door was opened.

Fang Cheng strode in with two clone warriors.

He surveyed Bailey, who was bound. He was clad in a blood-soaked black robe, with a white flame pattern on the chest, marking him as a wizard apprentice from the Necromancy Academy.

“Bailey?”

Fang Cheng asked indifferently.

Hearing this, Bailey weakly raised his head, his face as white as paper.

“Y-yes… it’s me.”

Fang Cheng nodded. “Tell me, what is your purpose in trailing the Andrew family to my Crescent Moon City this time?”

“If I tell you, will you spare me, sir?” Bailey gave a miserable smile.

“Do you think you are in a position to negotiate with me now?”

Fang Cheng’s expression was cold, his face unreadable.

Bailey continued to smile, refusing to speak.

“I’ve heard that you black wizards have a spell to extract a person’s soul. I wonder what your soul is like?”

With that, Fang Cheng looked at Bailey with a smile. Bailey’s face changed drastically, and he rasped:

“Impossible! The method of extracting souls is a unique spell of our Necromancy Academy. How could you possibly know it?”

Bailey was suspicious and fearful.

“Is it difficult for me to easily capture you and obtain your Necromancy Academy’s soul extraction spell?”

In fact, Fang Cheng was not lying. He had obtained this soul extraction spell from Grace and his companion.

Grace and his companion had tortured the mother and son to extract the woman’s soul, and coincidentally, Grace had a copy of this spell.

Fang Cheng had naturally obtained this spell as well.

However, Fang Cheng deceived Bailey. Although he had obtained the spell, he had never learned it.

But Bailey didn’t know this. Hearing these words, he was covered in sweat and trembled uncontrollably. Precisely because he was an apprentice of the Necromancy Academy, he knew the terror of soul extraction even better.

After a long while.

“Alright, I promise you…”

After listening to Bailey’s account, combined with Andrew’s words, Fang Cheng basically understood the whole story.

As expected, Roman coveted his wealth, which was why he sent Bailey to follow the Andrew family’s caravan.

“Humph!”

Fang Cheng snorted coldly, expressing his disdain for Roman’s greed.

Compared to when he explored the Rein Secret Realm, Fang Cheng’s own strength had not changed much, remaining a mid-level apprentice, but the power he controlled had undergone earth-shattering changes.

Whether it was the clone warriors spread throughout Crescent Moon City or the electromagnetic railguns erected in the city, they could ensure Roman’s return.

Clone warriors equipped with Gauss rifles would riddle Roman with holes before he could even cast a curse.

After clarifying that the Andrew family members were not Bailey’s accomplices, Fang Cheng warmly entertained them.

Seeing Fang Cheng’s immense power, even if Andrew and the others had any dissatisfaction in their hearts, they dared not show it on their faces.

“Lord Fang Cheng, besides this batch of purplestone ore, there are two more batches to be shipped successively. Moreover, our family has purchased a large number of slaves to mine the purplestone ore, and we will definitely not delay the transaction with you.”

Inside the villa’s dining room, Fang Cheng and Andrew and others were seated around a long dining table, discussing the follow-up transactions.

“Everyone, I apologize for this rashness.”

Fang Cheng raised his glass of wine, smiling.

“Not at all, not at all!”

“Lord Fang Cheng, it’s only right, it’s only right.”

“It’s alright, it’s only right.”

Fang Cheng looked at everyone’s fawning appearance and slightly raised his hand.

Everyone immediately fell silent, looking at Fang Cheng in unison.

“However, it is an undeniable fact that Roman of the Necromancy Academy covets Crescent Moon City.”

Fang Cheng glanced around and continued:

“I hope you will spread news about Crescent Moon City. Of course, just spread the word that Crescent Moon City has a huge magic stone mine.”

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

They naturally understood Fang Cheng’s meaning. He wanted to lure Roman to his death!

Heavens! Roman was a formal wizard!

For a time, everyone found it a little hard to accept.

But on second thought, with Crescent Moon City’s mechanical puppet legion, it might really be possible to keep Roman here.

They thought Fang Cheng’s trump card was the massive army of engineering robots.

Fang Cheng saw their knowing expressions, smiled, and didn’t explain further. As far as he was concerned, as long as he could kill Roman, that was enough. As for how others guessed, Fang Cheng didn’t care.

……

In less than a week.

News that a large magic stone mine had appeared in Crescent Moon City spread like wildfire.

Not only did Roman receive this news, but many high-level apprentices and seed apprentices from the Black and White Towers also learned about it.

For a time, Crescent Moon City suddenly became the center of the storm, a scene of impending storm.

During this time, Fang Cheng still traveled back and forth between Earth and the Otherworld, transporting resources.

Anlu Island and Crescent Moon City both ushered in rapid development.

Swish!

A faint light flashed!

Fang Cheng’s figure reappeared in the Crescent Moon City villa.

“Commander!”

As soon as he walked out of the room, the clone warrior guarding the door saluted.

Fang Cheng nodded and went straight to Crescent Moon City’s command center.

Crescent Moon City’s command center was located in Fang Cheng’s villa.

The command center was not large, only about 300 square meters in size.

Besides the two clone warriors guarding the door, there were also several clone commanders inside, including A003.

On one wall of the command center was a huge electronic screen, and the command center was also equipped with the Hive Laboratory’s advanced holographic projection equipment.

A003 was sitting in the lead, pointing at the electronic screen and giving instructions.

“Commander!”

A clone warrior saw Fang Cheng and shouted.

The other clone warriors heard this and all stood up, shouting in unison.

“Mm.”

Fang Cheng nodded, walked to A003, and said with a smile:

“How’s the situation?”

A003 knew what Fang Cheng was asking and replied: “Reporting to the Commander! There are three groups of enemies attacking Crescent Moon City.”

As he spoke, A003 pointed to the electronic screen in front of him, which showed three obvious red dots surrounding Crescent Moon City, representing the approaching enemies.

Two of them were attacking from the direction of the East Sacred Empire, and the other one was from the direction of the Black Radiance Empire.

However, unlike the enemies attacking from the East Sacred Empire, only one person came from the Black Radiance Empire. Fang Cheng zoomed in on the screen.

The person had silver-white hair, narrow eyes, and wore a pure black wizard robe. It was Roman, the black wizard from the Necromancy Academy.

He really came!

Fang Cheng sneered.

As for the two groups of enemies attacking from the East Sacred Empire, Fang Cheng didn’t take them seriously at all. Who were these people? To Fang Cheng, calling them a rabble was an exaggeration.
