"This is!! The Priest Knight of Hope City!"
When Henry saw the corpses crawling out, his face changed and he screamed.
…
That’s why Henry and the others will appear in Yinshuang Town.
It was because of the missing people incident in Yinshuang Town. Over the past few years, the number of missing people in Yinshuang Town reached thousands. The Vatican suspected that such a large-scale missing population was caused by a cult.

In fact, Henry and his companions were originally the Knights of Light of the Inquisition of the Holy See of Light, and were relatively high-ranking priests.
It stands to reason that if there are cults or evil spirits in a remote place like Yinshuang Town, it only needs to be reported to the local authorities and the local Church of Light will send priests to handle it. There is no need to alert the Inquisition.
However, over the past few years, the local church has sent countless priests to investigate, but without exception, all the priests who came to Yinshuang Town never returned, and neither the person nor the body was found.
After reporting to higher authorities, the high priest of the Temple of Light in Holy Light City was alerted. He then requested a transfer order and sent the Knights of Light of the Inquisition to investigate in person in Yinshuang Town.
After Henry and his friends entered Yinshuang Town, they discovered that it was a cursed land, and no one could leave before being exposed to the curse.
However, they stayed there for a full month and failed to find any clues.
No one expected that all the priests of the Holy See of Light had been sacrificed, and their bodies and souls had become tools for evil spirits to harm people.

"Oh my! They are all undead creatures!!"
Wang Yuan was very excited when he saw these monsters in front of him.
Other professions may not have much experience in dealing with undead creatures, but Necromancers are definitely professional in dealing with them.
"They're not real undead!"
However, Dabai and his companions felt that something was increasingly wrong.
"Such a strong resentment!" Guang Lingzi showed an excited expression: "I haven't encountered such a good thing in a long time!!"
"Grudge? What is it?"
Wang Yuan was a little confused when he heard this.
"It's the power of these evil spirits!" Guang Lingzi said, "These things are different from yours. You can call them vengeful spirits..."
Undead creatures are a unique race. Although they can be summoned from corpses, they are essentially a unique kind of undead creatures in the world of death.
Not all corpses can be summoned as undead.
Only those souls have been liberated and pure corpses can become carriers of undead creatures.
This is also the reason why ordinary necromancers in the game cannot just find a corpse to summon skeletons, they must use "corpse units".
In general, the undead are also a kind of creatures, which are fundamentally different from the dead souls that linger and become zombies and ghosts.
After all, even if undead creatures have awakened their spiritual intelligence, it is only an independent consciousness that is produced by the accumulation of soul fire over the years.
Undead creatures survive, and their energy comes from the laws of death between heaven and earth.
The reason these evil spirits survive is that their power comes from the resentment generated by their obsession. The deeper the resentment, the stronger the power.
"I still don't understand..."
For those who have never come into contact with vengeful spirits, Guang Lingzi's words are no different from nonsense.
"You have also learned the art of corpse refining, but haven't you learned the chapter on soul refining?" Guang Lingzi frowned and glared at Wang Yuan.
"Soul Refining Chapter!!"
After hearing Guang Lingzi's words, Wang Yuan suddenly understood what the vengeful spirit was.
Before Guang Lingzi learned "soul absorption", the first step he used when refining corpses was to refine the soul.
The general steps are to capture a living person, preferably an awakened one, and then seal the person's seven major acupoints to seal his soul within the body, and then use extremely cruel means to torture the target to death.
After the target dies, quicklime, cinnabar and other things are needed to refine the target's soul, so as to turn the soul into a vengeful spirit. In this way, a corpse with incomplete consciousness can be obtained... This is soul refining.
The more severely the soul is tortured, the stronger the resentment will be, and the stronger the power will be.
Wang Yuan thought this thing was against human nature and never used it.
Guang Lingzi's words at this time made Wang Yuan understand what was going on.
…
Of course, Guang Lingzi used soul refining techniques to create vengeful spirits in order to strengthen his own undead with another kind of power.
And these vengeful spirits before our eyes are truly creatures that use resentment as their energy base.
I have to say that Guang Lingzi is really a genius. He can actually combine two creatures into one. It's amazing...
From another perspective, aren't these vengeful spirits before our eyes artificially created?
The village is equivalent to a corpse with seven major acupoints sealed.
The dead souls cannot be liberated and will wander here over and over again, experiencing the memories of their own tragic deaths.
Day after day, year after year, the resentment grew more and more, even condensing into a thick fog.
Guang Lingzi only needs to perform a simple operation to use the resentful spirits to transform his own undead soul and create a powerful corpse demon.
The strength of these real vengeful spirits can be imagined.
It is by no means comparable to ordinary undead.
What's more, they were priests and knights of the Holy See of Light with powerful combat capabilities when they were alive. After their death, they were filled with resentment and their strength would only be more terrifying than when they were alive.
…
In the blink of an eye, there were more and more vengeful spirits in the village, and new ones were constantly crawling out from the ground.
Looking around, the entire village was filled with vengeful spirits.
“Kill them!!”
Following Nina's order.
"roar!!"
All the vengeful spirits howled towards the sky.
They surrounded us from all directions.
"Holy Light Array!!"
As the Great Knight of Light, Henry did not panic at the critical moment. Seeing countless evil spirits rushing over, he immediately issued combat orders.
“Praise the righteous and loving Heavenly Father, who spreads light to the world.”
"To dispel the endless darkness for his children."
Following Henry's order, all the members of the Illuminati stood still, surrounded Wang Yuan and his group, and then chanted something.
A golden light emanates from his body.
