The sudden death of a Lich instantly alarmed the manager and ruler of the Kingdom of the Dead, the Level 9 Demigod Lich, Mordor.
Every Lich that entered the Kingdom of the Dead was the cornerstone that built and maintained the existence of this place. Every time one was lost, it meant that the Kingdom of the Dead would shrink a little, and it also meant that Mordor, known as the Lich King, was a few steps away from the final divine position.
With a distortion of space, a skeleton with a crown on its head and a black cloak, with blue flames flickering in its dark eye sockets, was teleported into the laboratory of the unlucky Lich.
He looked down at the wreckage on the ground that was scattered into a pile of bones due to the loss of the soul, and then he grabbed a piece of bracelet fragment from the ground. It was still a part of a phylactery a minute ago.
Just as he was carefully examining the phylactery fragment, there was another distortion of space in the air beside him, and a Level 8 Legendary Lich had also arrived at the scene of the murder.
"Lord Mordor …"
The Lich greeted in a low voice.
"Angmar, he is your student, right?"
The Lich King looked away from the fragment and asked.
"Yes, he was my student when he was alive, and he pursued me without hesitation, embarking on the path of death."
"He is only 800 years old, still very young …"
The Legendary-level Lich called Angmar said as he picked up the unfinished letter from the desk beside him, and continued, "Don't worry, it's just a matter of time.
"He got an opportunity a month ago, and his soul descended into a remote town near the Sinless City, and he successfully went into hibernation, ready to make his move …"
"But just now, he encountered a powerful enemy, a Holy Disciple of the Holy Light Cult?"
"He was forced to use an 'emergency relocation' and successfully escaped back, but he did not escape the pursuit?"
Lich Angmar briefly repeated the contents of the letter, before asking with some doubt, "You're right.
"Why was he still so tragically harmed after he escaped back to Duat?"
"It was a divine spell, a divine spell that even I have never seen before …"
"The enemy got his phylactery, and launched an attack along the phylactery, completely destroying his soul."
The Lich King said in a low voice.
The red flames in Angmar's eye sockets suddenly jumped, showing that he was a little uneasy in his heart, and quickly asked.
"This is a very dangerous signal! What kind of attack can hurt us through the phylactery? "
Every Lich had several phylacteries and scattered them all over the world to ensure that once the soul was transferred, it would be out of danger immediately. Even if the phylacteries were discovered, at most, an empty one would be destroyed, but the Lich itself would not be harmed. That was why Liches were so difficult to kill.
However, if someone could directly injure the Liches through the phylactery, the phylacteries that were scattered outside the Undead Kingdom would turn from life-saving talismans to life-threatening talismans. It was only a matter of time before the Liches were wiped out.
"Pass down my orders. All Liches are to retrieve their phylacteries. Don't leave a single one behind."
"At the same time, contact the people outside and ask them to investigate this matter carefully. We must find out who did it!"
"In the future, without my permission, your soul is not allowed to descend to the outside world, especially near Sinless City!"
The Lich King said decisively. His order was accurately transmitted to the ears of every Lich through the connection of the Kingdom of the Dead.
"Sir, are we going to give up on Sinless City?"
The Lich King was slightly stunned. There was a hint of helplessness in his cold voice.
"Sinless City is important, but we have already lost two Liches there. It's a very painful loss."
"We don't need to be impatient. Time is always on our side."
The Liches had never given up on Sinless City. Even if the city was completely under the control of the Orthodox Church, they were still patiently waiting for an opportunity.
A few years ago, they had sent out a Lich to stir up trouble in the area. However, the Lich died suddenly after a short while. Even with the Phylactery, the Lich failed to escape.
It could not be helped. After all, the Lich had been dead for too long.
Hence, the Lich King realized the drawbacks of the phylactery system. He quickly gathered the Liches under his command and together, they developed a spell called 'Emergency Transfer.' This spell allowed the Liches to automatically transfer their souls when they were in danger.
However, he did not expect the enemy to find a way to attack the Lich's body through the phylactery.
If the Lich King had not been dead for too long and had lost all his human emotions, he would have been so angry that his limbs would have turned cold and his body would have trembled.
"You can try to use divination. Maybe you can find some clues."
After the Lich King gave the order, he continued.
"But the enemy is a Saint. If I use divination rashly, won't it attract the attention of the Gods?"
The Lich Angmar was a little scared. He did not have the slightest bit of righteous indignation or the thought of avenging his student. He no longer had such feelings.
"The Gods nowadays can't even take care of themselves."
The Lich King said solemnly.
Angmar was slightly relieved. He quickly gathered the remains of his student and activated the divination that he was good at when he was still alive. He wanted to find clues about the murderer.
However, he did not get any results.
"The divination was disturbed. Some powerful existence is protecting the murderer."
"How is that possible?"
"The Gods nowadays don't care about their believers in the mortal world."
The flames in the Lich King's eyes danced. He was a little puzzled.
"Is it because the murderer's status is high enough? I can't divine it? "
Angmar asked again. However, he remembered that his student's letter said that the murderer was a young human.
"Let me give it a try."
The Lich King said. Just when he was about to take the pile of remains from Angmar, something strange happened.
A beam of light that was full of holy aura suddenly penetrated the sky of Duat that was always covered by dark clouds and fell on Angmar's body.
The beam of light was pure and holy. The life energy contained in it was like a surging wave. If it shone on a living person, it could instantly cure all their illnesses and injuries, regenerate their bones and flesh, and bring the dead back to life.
However, if it shone on a Lich, it would be the most fatal ray of destruction.
Angmar suddenly let out a shrill scream. He did not even have the time to activate the 'Emergency Teleportation' and was instantly burned to ashes by the beam of light.
The whole process lasted less than a second. The Lich King had just realized what had happened when the beam of light disappeared without a trace.
"This …"
"Your sect is too unruly!"
After thousands of years, the Lich King once again let out an angry roar. It was a loud roar.
