Chapter 195: The Obsession Was Gone

The team leader was also someone who knew the inside story, so when he saw this letter, he quickly guessed a few things. The handwriting on the paper was of two types. The person who wrote the first type was unclear, but from the content, the identity of the person who wrote the second type could be discerned. However, the request on it was a bit too strange.

The main content was that Zheng Yichen said he was giving them a chance. As long as they dealt with the matter described in the first type of handwriting on the paper, summarized the process of resolving the matter, and sent it to a specified location, they could get some traces of him… Of course, whether they could catch him using that trace was another matter entirely.

What was requested wasn’t anything difficult either. The reason the team leader thought Zheng Yichen was a bit foolish was purely because the matter had already been handled by someone else when they arrived here. What should they do? Should they clean up this town again, even though all the inside dealings had already been scrubbed clean?

Was this out of boredom or just having nothing better to do?

“Sir, how should we handle this?”

“No need to handle it. Don’t bother with it.” The team leader shook his head. In any case, the main content was probably written by the little girl Zheng Yichen had taken away. When clearing out the dark dealings, the Sanctuary Church had rescued many beings similar to the little girl. Some of them were usually spread out within the town’s forces, used for ‘fishing’ while also being trained as commodities.

Zheng Yichen actually brought her back, and it even seemed like he came specifically for this matter. This improved his impression of Zheng Yichen slightly. However, as for what Zheng Yichen said on the paper? He didn’t believe a single word. Hoping to find him through so-called clues would be a waste of effort no matter what.

Otherwise, how could that dragon still be running around without being caught?

“Wait… send someone to write a summary of this matter and toss it at the location mentioned. Let’s avoid having that dragon cause more trouble.” The team leader said after thinking it over. For these townspeople, if possible, he didn’t want to use violent means to resolve things. As long as they dealt with the mercenaries and adventurers first, the remaining townspeople here would actually be the easiest to handle.

They had often lived here for decades or even longer. Their life requirements were just about stability. If there was a chance for a better life, it would be easy to persuade these townspeople. Using a gradual division method, they could handle and relocate them one by one. The places the Sanctuary Church had set up specifically for dealing with corpse puppets still existed. They could slowly transfer everyone there.

This process required stability, so it was better to deal with that dragon hiding who-knows-where. After all, since the Undying Witch was confirmed to have returned, the Sanctuary Church’s main focus had shifted to the Undying Witch. As for Zheng Yichen or the witch behind him, leaving them alone for now probably wouldn’t lead to any major incidents. But if the Undying Witch wasn’t dealt with, she had already caused tragedies in two towns in this short time. If left unchecked, maybe a whole city would become a dead city the next day.

“Huh? So fast?” Watching someone quickly arrive at the designated spot, Zheng Yichen’s hidden projection muttered with some surprise. He stopped hiding and flew out directly. The Sanctuary Church member delivering the message froze for a moment. This wasn’t how it was supposed to go. Why did the main person jump out? So, should they fight or not now?

He hesitated, touching the sword at his side. He looked left and right. Well, he was alone here. If he fought, even if the dragon before him was just a projection, he might still get killed. Better to obediently do what the boss ordered. Without saying much, he threw the envelope in his hand to Zheng Yichen, turned around, and quickly left the place.

Looking down at the envelope in his hand, Zheng Yichen curled his lip slightly. What was this about? He came out just to keep his promise, to give these people clues as he said he would. But these people didn’t even plan to pay him any mind… Tsk, he felt a bit looked down upon. But he was happy to be looked down upon by them!

Muttering to himself, Zheng Yichen tucked the envelope and flew back. He originally planned to use viewing magic to send this information back. Now that they wanted to coexist peacefully, there was no need for conflict. Returning to his main body, Zheng Yichen shoved the letter to Lily. “Read it yourself.”

“…” The little girl took the letter. After reading its contents, her cold eyes showed a slight ripple. Zheng Yichen even saw a glimmer of tears. He scratched his head. This was more like a child.

Picking up the paper that had fallen to the ground, Zheng Yichen scanned the entire content at a glance. He clicked his tongue. Bringing her back was really unnecessary. The dark dealings in the town had been completely resolved when the Sanctuary Church stationed here. It was an extremely thorough purge, turning the dark dealings upside down. Now, there probably wasn’t any place cleaner than this town.

“Since what you wanted has already been dealt with, start your new life now… Let’s first… What the heck!?” Zheng Yichen was just speaking when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. Without hesitation, he turned and swatted back. Facing an unknown attack, using his claws to block was always right. If it was an energy-type attack, he could grab it. If it was a physical strike, his claws were one of the strongest parts of his body. Why use his head when he could use his claws?

A pitch-black fireball was swatted squarely by Zheng Yichen. The grabbing ability didn’t have time to activate before the pitch-black fireball was smacked aside by his claw. Scattered black flames spread across the ground, flowing like water and spreading in all directions. Zheng Yichen felt a bit regretful. Why did he use so much force just now? It would have been better to grab this thing in his hand!

Without hesitation, he stuffed Lily into the basket. Zheng Yichen casually swung the basket onto his back and warily scanned the surroundings. He silently clicked his tongue in his mind. When it came to fighting, he always worried about his identity being exposed, so he avoided fighting as much as possible. If he really fought and encountered someone knowledgeable, it would be too easy to give himself away. Once that happened, it would basically be a fight to the death.

Zheng Yichen looked at the few people dressed in strange black clothes who had attacked. He felt a bit puzzled. Were they from the Dark Church?

He wasn’t sure. The Dark Church wasn’t a proper, righteous force. Although they also had things like emblems, those were hidden. Wearing them openly? Did they think they were from the Sanctuary Church, using that stuff as proof of identity for benefits? If someone from the Dark Church dared to do that, a bunch of powerful onlookers would, without a word, report to the local Sanctuary Church branch as soon as they left. Reporting even came with rewards!
