Night fell, and moonlight shone on the mass grave outside Niutou Town.
One after another, faint figures arrived here under the moonlight, gathering together, each one filled with excitement.
If anyone were to pass by here tonight, they would probably be scared out of their wits. Even ghosts would be, because almost everyone gathered here tonight is a monster or demon: zombies, spirits, vengeful ghosts, vampires, and even werewolves, with spirits making up the vast majority.
"Lord Gao." Seeing that the crowd had gathered sufficiently, one figure finally couldn't contain his excitement and asked, "When will Master arrive?"
"Is it any of your business to ask about the master's whereabouts?" Upon hearing this, the person addressed as Master Gao glared angrily at the spirit who had spoken.
Reprimanded, the spirit who had asked the question immediately knelt on the ground, cold sweat pouring down its face, kowtowing repeatedly and begging for mercy. "Lord Gao, I know I was wrong. Please, Lord Gao, show leniency and forgive me, considering that we are all serving our master."
The surrounding spirits and demons all looked at the begging guy on the ground with ill intent. Perhaps with just one word from Master Gao, these excited creatures would immediately pounce on him, tear him to pieces, and devour him.
"Get up. If this happens again, I will not let you off the hook," said Lord Gao.
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Gao! Thank you for your magnanimity, Lord Gao!" The spirit kept kowtowing in gratitude.
A figure clad in black armor suddenly appeared behind Lord Gao and asked, "Gao Yao, is everyone here?"
Upon hearing the voice, Master Gao (Gao Yao) immediately bowed and turned to the person behind him, saying respectfully, "Reporting to Master, everyone is here."
"May your master live forever!" Upon hearing Gao Yao's address to the man in black armor, the zombies, demons, and vampires gathered around immediately knelt down and shouted in unison.
“Recently, Taoist priests from Maoshan have gathered in Niutou Town, and many wandering ghosts have escaped from the guards. The Taoist priests have gathered precisely to capture these wandering ghosts and return them to the guards.” Wang Han said to the spirits and evil ghosts kneeling on the ground, “They will take action tomorrow night. I want you to split into two groups. One group will go to stop them from capturing the wandering ghosts and test the Taoist priests’ moves and abilities. The other group will capture the wandering ghosts and bring them here to Zhao Gao. Whether those wandering ghosts are captured by the Taoist priests or by you, none of them can escape.”
"Yes." As soon as Wang Han finished speaking, the spirits and demons responded in unison, each one excited, for it was finally their time to shine.
"The vampires and werewolves stay; the rest can leave now," Wang Han said.
"Yes." The reply rang out again, and the spirits, demons, and zombies quickly left the mass grave, leaving only the vampires and werewolves with their heads bowed, waiting expectantly for the tasks their master would assign them.
“You are Earl Los.” Wang Han looked at a middle-aged vampire and said.
Upon hearing Wang Han call out his name, Earl Los was immediately overjoyed. Knowing that the master already knew his name, the high-ranking official quickly replied, "Before my master, I dare not address you as so noble. Please just call me Los. I will serve you through fire and water without hesitation."
“I have a special task for you to do, and Los will be in charge of you,” Wang Han said to the remaining vampires and werewolves.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the vampires and werewolves present immediately responded respectfully, all of them filled with envy for Earl Los. Being valued by their master meant that as long as things were done well, the Los family would prosper in the future. The once-fallen Los family could not only restore its former glory but also go further, possibly becoming a marquis family or even a duke family.
"Your subordinate will do his utmost to fulfill your master's orders," Los said respectfully, his voice filled with excitement.
Wang Han said to Earl Los, who was kneeling respectfully with his head bowed, "Los, raise your head."
“Yes.” Count Los quickly replied, raising his head to look at Wang Han.
“A saintess of the Holy See!” Count Los exclaimed in surprise.
It was only then that Los noticed a young woman with a blank stare standing next to his master. This was the legendary Holy Maiden of the Church, and judging from her blank stare, she must have been controlled.
"Your job tonight is to hunt her down until that Taoist priest named One Eyebrow rescues her. Remember, don't give anything away. You've seen that Taoist priest before," Wang Han instructed, tossing a map to Earl Los.
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Count Los was immediately excited and quickly picked up the map from the ground.
"You can make the arrangements now," Wang Han said.
"Yes." Count Los immediately responded and left with all the vampires and werewolves present.
The mass grave now only has Wang Han, Gao Yao, and the Holy Maiden of the Papacy who is controlled by Wang Han's illusion.
Wang Han's eyes turned bloodshot. After hiding the Holy Maiden of the Vatican in a secluded place, he activated the illusion again.
……………
In the illusion, the saintess saw the scene from before again, and also the scene after she fainted. The Pope sacrificed himself and descended to become the archangel. The archangel fought with the black-armored man and was eventually killed by the spear in the black-armored man's hand that pierced his chest and shattered the Heart of Death.
Seeing that the archangels had all been defeated by the black-armored men, the remaining ten cardinals and the head of the Inquisition decided to sacrifice themselves so that the head of the Inquisition could escape with them.
Not long after being rescued, he was hunted down by the Werewolf King and the Vampire Prince. After several twists and turns, he reached the docks, only to be caught again by the Werewolf King and the Vampire Prince. Left with no other option, the Chief of the Inquisition knocked him unconscious and hid him in a cargo crate. When he awoke, he was in China, where he continued to be hunted by vampires and werewolves. He eventually escaped to this unknown mass grave.
Little did he expect that after escaping here, he only wanted to rest in this secluded place for a while, but instead he encountered that incomparably powerful black-armored man from before.
………………
"Looks like there's a little mouse around!" Wang Han's gaze fell on the place where the Holy Maiden of the Vatican was hiding.
Upon receiving Wang Han's gaze, Gao Yao immediately understood and rushed forward.
"Oh no, we've been discovered!" Hearing the black-armored man's faint voice and seeing him looking in her direction, and the Chinese man with him rushing towards them, the Holy Maiden was terrified. She immediately rushed out of her hiding place and desperately fled towards Niu Tou Town, which wasn't far away. At least the town's terrain was complex, offering many hiding places.
Upon seeing the escaped saintess, Gao Yao fired embroidery needles and steel needles, imbued with intense internal force, like bullets, tearing the bark of trees and breaking tombstones along the way.
Hearing the whistling wind like bullets whizzing past her ears, the saintess chanted incantations. Milky-white ribbons of light surged from her body and intertwined behind her, forming a shield that blocked the embroidery needles and steel needles aimed at him. The shield formed by the interwoven light ribbons trembled continuously as it was struck by the steel needles.
