Necromancer, summon skeletons, practice the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Skill

As the news of Lu Ming and Yan Jin leaving Sunset City quickly spread throughout the empire and the entire continent, all major forces were shocked by the news.

Lu Ming, who was just a civilian freshman of the Undead Department of the Magic Academy a few months ago and had the strength of an apprentice wizard, has unexpectedly become a great magician in a short period of time, and is accompanied by a sanctuary-level dragon.

This change came without warning and is incredible.

All major forces have launched investigation mechanisms, trying to uncover the secret of Lu Ming's rapid rise.

After some analysis, they came to two possible conclusions: either Lu Ming was possessed by a Saint-level or God-level strongman, or he obtained some extremely precious treasure.

No matter what the situation is, Lu Ming has become an existence that cannot be ignored.

In the imperial royal family, upon hearing the news about Sunset City, the entire royal family was shocked.

They originally only regarded Lu Ming as Liu Ruyan's protector, but now, this young man not only confirmed his identity as a great magician, but also controlled a sanctuary-level dragon.

This series of changes made the royal family members panic and overwhelmed.

In the royal family, a high-ranking noble said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Lu Ming's rise is too fast. We must re-evaluate our relationship with him. The power he now possesses is enough to pose a threat to us."

The emperor looked solemn. After thinking for a moment, he said, "We need to find out the source of Lu Ming's power. At the same time, we need to consider whether it is possible to win him over and make him an ally of our royal family."

At the Dark Council headquarters deep underground, the fallen creatures also received reports about Lu Ming and considered him to be a very troublesome situation.

When they were unable to take action, Lu Ming's power was already enough of a headache, and now there was an additional Sanctuary-level dragon around him, which made it even more troublesome.

The leader of the council, a Sanctuary-level fallen mage, frowned and said, "We must re-evaluate our strategy."

At the headquarters of the killer organization, there is a god-level strong man, a rare dark knight, who is also the founder of the killer organization.

He also learned about Lu Ming's feat in Sunset City.

After some investigation, he was surprised to find that Lu Ming was actually a silver-level killer in their organization.

In order to retain this member with great potential, the Dark Knight immediately ordered Lilith to contact Lu Ming again and proposed the condition of directly promoting him to a diamond-level killer.

The Dark Knight said in a deep voice: "Let the member named Lilith go to Lu Ming and tell him that as long as Lu Ming is willing to continue to serve the organization, he can be directly promoted to a diamond-level killer based on his current strength. If he breaks through to the god level in the future, or completes some specific tasks, he can even become a senior member of our organization."

The Church of Light also noticed Lu Ming's rise. After learning that he was a great mage of the undead, they believed that Lu Ming was an unstable factor that could affect the peace of the magic continent.

The Pope ordered a strong man to go to Sunset City to investigate Lu Ming.

The Pope's advisor, a senior archbishop, said to the Pope: "Your Majesty, we must find out Lu Ming's true intentions and the origins of the dragon beside him. If necessary, we must take measures to ensure that the peace of the continent is not threatened."

With the intervention of various major forces, Lu Ming's name and deeds began to spread widely in the magic continent and became a focus of attention.

Lu Ming didn't know about these things, nor did he care.

Because today, when he decided to take action in Sunset City, he had already thought some things through.

On the one hand, it was to help Liu Ruyan get revenge.

On the other hand, he also wanted to use this incident to attract the attention and concern of all the major forces in the magical continent. In this way, the Dark Council's assassination attempt on him would be more passive.

Although such attention would also bring some trouble to Lu Ming.

However, his strength now reaches the late stage of Magic Pill Realm and that of a Great Mage. He is able to fight against Sanctuary-level warriors and also has a Sanctuary-level dragon pet. Not only will the top forces on the continent not cause trouble for him easily, but they will also want to win him over.

Even if he is a god-level strong man, the other party will not attack him if there is no grudge between them.

In this way, Lu Ming would be safer and could travel openly anywhere in the magic continent.

……

After leaving Sunset City on the magic teleportation array, Lu Ming brought Liu Ruyan and Yan Jin to the imperial capital.

The empire where Lu Ming was born was called the Blue Empire, located deep in the center of the magical continent.

The Blue Empire is only considered to be of medium strength among the major empires. The strongest person in the royal family is the grand mage, and there are also some powerful mages and other strong people who are loyal to the royal family.

For hundreds of years, the empire has been generally stable, but this time, due to the events of the Liu family, everything has changed.

After learning that Lu Ming appeared in the imperial capital, the royal family was in a state of tension. They immediately mobilized all available forces to tightly guard the palace and sought help from members of the Church of Light in the imperial capital.

One of the royal think tanks, an elderly magician, said to the king with a serious face: "Your Majesty, Lu Ming's strength should not be underestimated. We must go all out to ensure the safety of the palace."

The king frowned and asked anxiously, "What did the Church of Light say? Are they willing to help us?"

"They are willing, but..." The magician of the think tank hesitated, "They asked us to provide information about the Liu family's gold magic treasure in exchange."

The king nodded and said helplessly: "At this point, this is all we can do. As long as the empire can be saved, I will give the treasure to them."

The representative of the Church of Light, a high-ranking priest, upon learning of the golden treasure, immediately reported the situation to the Church of Light headquarters.

The headquarters reacted extremely quickly, and a red-robed great leader of the sanctuary level was urgently dispatched to the imperial capital.

At the headquarters of the Church of Light, a red-robed great leader in a white robe, with a gleam in his eyes, said to the high-ranking priests around him: "This golden treasure is of vital importance to the Church of Light. We must ensure that it does not fall into the hands of evil."

The senior priests nodded in agreement.

The news that the Saint-level Red-robed Grand Master had been dispatched spread quickly to all major forces.

Among them, the atmosphere in the Dark Council headquarters became extremely solemn.

The fallen creatures realized that the fact that the Church of Light sent out a sanctuary-level Grand Master was definitely something extraordinary.

The leader of the Dark Council, a high-level fallen mage, said to the fallen creatures around him with deep worry in his eyes: "The actions of the Church of Light are too strange. We can't just sit back and watch. If they are here for Lu Ming's godhood, we must take action."

The fallen creatures looked at each other. A tall fallen knight said in a heavy voice, "But we are not sure whether the Church of Light knows about the existence of the Godhead."

The Fallen Mage shook his head and said firmly, "We cannot take this risk. In order to ensure the safety of the Godhead, I have decided to send a Fallen Mage at the top level of the Sanctuary to the Imperial Capital to stop the plan of the Church of Light."

The high-ranking officials of the Dark Council nodded in support of this decision.

They knew that the fight against the Church of Light was a matter of life and death for the Dark Council, and they had to go all out.

Inside the palace of the Blue Empire, the king and the magicians of the think tank were nervously discussing countermeasures.

Upon learning that the Church of Light headquarters had sent a powerful Saint-level warrior, everyone became excited and saw some hope.

With the intervention of the Church of Light and the Dark Council, and the dispatch of Sanctuary-level powerhouses, things became more complicated.

The fate of the Blue Empire was pushed into an unknown direction.

……

Since the headquarters of the Church of Light and the Dark Council are far away from the imperial capital, even by teleportation array, it is impossible to arrive in one go and a transfer is required, so Lilith arrived early.

Lilith was now mixed in the bustling crowd, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes, including the joy of reunion and the seriousness of the situation.

As there were many spies from various major forces around her, she did not dare to show any abnormality in order to avoid attracting attention.

Through her mental power, Lilith quietly contacted Lu Ming: "Master, I am Lilith, just listen to me and don't show any abnormality."

Lu Ming's expression remained normal as he continued to move forward, secretly responding with his spiritual sense: "I know!"

After receiving Lu Ming's reply, Lilith felt a little relieved. She continued, "What happened to you in Sunset City has alarmed all the major forces in the Magic Continent, and also the top leaders of the assassin organization's headquarters. They value you very much and ordered me to find you and convey a message."

"That is, if you are willing to continue to stay in the assassin organization, you can be directly promoted to a diamond-level assassin according to the strength you have shown now. If you break through the god level or complete specific tasks in the future, you can be promoted to a core senior leader." Lilith did not hide anything and told Lu Ming the intention of the assassin organization frankly.

She continued, "According to the news just received, the headquarters of the Church of Light and the headquarters of the Dark Council have each sent a Saint-level expert, who is on his way here. They should be here for you."

"And the Assassin Headquarters also said that if you agree to become a Diamond-level Assassin member, if a battle occurs later, at the critical moment, a Saint-level warrior can be sent to help you resist the crisis."

Hearing this news, Lu Ming was shocked and a little surprised.

Although it was unexpected that the Dark Council sent someone here, it was understandable. However, he was puzzled by the intervention of the Church of Light. He didn't understand why his entanglement with the imperial family attracted the attention of the Church of Light.

The Church of Light holds a pivotal position in the entire magical continent. Although Lu Ming now has the help of his pet Yan Jin and has the strength to fight against the strong men in the Sanctuary, he is not completely confident when facing the siege of the strong men in the Sanctuary from the two top forces, the Dark Council and the Church of Light.

Not to mention, there may be Sanctuary-level powerhouses from other forces lurking in secret.

After a brief consideration, Lu Ming made a decision. He agreed to the conditions proposed by Lilith on behalf of the assassin organization.

After all, joining the killer organization is just an additional identity for him. If he can make use of the other party's resources, why not do it?

After receiving Lu Ming's reply, Lilith immediately passed the message back to the assassin organization's headquarters.

Soon, Lilith sent another message to Lu Ming: "Master, the assassin organization headquarters has sent a Saint-level assassin on the way, and he will take action at a critical moment later."

Lu Ming nodded and responded, "Okay, I understand. Please be careful."

After finishing the conversation, Lilith quietly left the crowd and found a safe place to hide on the edge of the imperial capital.

She knew very well that once the Sanctuary-level battle began, it would be a disaster. If she got too close, she would easily be strangled by the fluctuations generated by the battle between Sanctuary-level powerhouses.

In addition to Lilith, the strong men from various forces also moved away from Lu Ming. They watched and monitored from a distance. Everyone had different plans in their minds, waiting for the coming storm.

Lu Ming continued to lead Liu Ruyan and Yan Jin, and the three of them continued to move forward in the imperial capital.

Under normal circumstances, as long as Lu Ming is willing, he can fly directly into the air with his strength as a great magician and reach the palace in an instant.

But in order to fish, Lu Ming was not in a hurry and chose to walk slowly.
