Reactions from All Parties

Chapter 55 Reactions from All Parties

After the duel, Mo Fan was undoubtedly the most outstanding. A commoner mage had defeated a mage trained by a noble family, a feat that would be extremely rare in the history of Bo City.

…………

After the duel ended, Chief Instructor Zhan Kong secretly prevented the leaders of various powerful factions from explaining his discovery.

"What! Zhan Kong, you're not kidding! The Black Vatican dares to be so audacious right under our noses!" Yang Zuohe said angrily.

"Would I tell you this if I wasn't absolutely certain?"

"But what you're saying is a bit too much..." Deng Kai said awkwardly.

"Whether this is true or false, you can check it out for yourselves in the Inscription Zone. Also, the sooner we act, the better!" Zhan Kong issued his final ultimatum.

"I expect a clear answer from you by noon tomorrow! Our military is going to begin operations tonight anyway!"

"Every day of delay could mean the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent ordinary people!"

"No need! We believe you!" Principal Zhu, representing the school, firmly stood on Zhan Kong's side.

"And your attitude..." Zhan Kong looked at the others.

"Let's go back and check the underground area. If the situation is as described, our Magic Association will definitely provide full support!" Yang Zuohe did not immediately express his opinion. The Magic Association was too important, and every step he took had to be taken with utmost care.

"Our Hunter's Alliance shares the same stance!"

"Can!"

"By the way, why aren't there any members from aristocratic families?" Deng Kai asked.

The Mu clan, in particular, has magicians who can play a significant role in operations.

"The Mu family is not clean!" Zhan Kong said meaningfully.

The others exchanged glances, nodded, and stopped talking about involving the Mu family.

…………

"...That's roughly the situation, Ning Xue. You must keep this a secret, preferably even from your father. I suspect there's a mole in your Mu family."

Ling Tianyu gave detailed instructions.

Mu Ningxue's expression was solemn, her heart churning with turmoil. It seemed that Bo City was in grave danger!

As intelligent as Mu Ningxue was, she could easily guess Ling Tianyu's intentions: to tell them to be careful and avoid going out as much as possible.

The city of Bo is no longer safe. Demons can emerge from any corner through the sewers. Faced with the surging tide of demons, even a mid-level mage wouldn't dare say that an accident is absolutely impossible.

"We're staying at home, what about you?" Mu Ningxue asked in return.

"Me? I'll do my best! I'll kill as many as I can!" Ling Tianyu licked his lips and said excitedly.

While Bo City is fraught with danger, if one has sufficient strength, it could also be an excellent opportunity to make money.

It's a good opportunity to replenish some of our essence stock.

"Then I'll go with you! Don't forget, I'm also a mid-level dual-elemental mage!" Mu Ningxue said firmly.

As for the missions at the Imperial Capital Academy? Those so-called training exercises are nowhere near as efficient as real combat against demons!

Moreover, as a member of Bo City, I cannot stand idly by and watch people being slaughtered by demons.

"Okay!" Ling Tianyu nodded. Mu Ningxue possessed the ice-type spirit seed [Ice Rock], making her much stronger than a typical mid-level mage, and thus less dangerous.

Ye Xinxia remained silent, watching Mu Ningxue and Ling Tianyu's interaction, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment.

As a healing and mind-based support mage, I have almost zero killing power against demons and can do nothing in this disaster.

"What is my Xinxia thinking about?" Ling Tianyu gently rubbed Xinxia's soft face with both hands, feeling its delicate smoothness.

"I feel so useless..." Normally, Ye Xinxia's face would have been flushed red with embarrassment.

But at this moment, she was still in low spirits and somewhat listless.

"My Xinxia is the best! You can't participate in the frontal battles, but you can heal the wounded! In another sense, your role is even more important than ours!" Ling Tianyu comforted her. "Maybe I'll need your healing then too."

"Brother Tianyu!" Ye Xinxia said angrily, "I hope you're doing well and don't say anything discouraging."

"Alright, alright!" Ling Tianyu smiled and raised his hands in surrender.

………………

The Mu family manor villa contains several side rooms, and even though it was late at night, one of them was still magnificent and dazzling.

Mu He held a newspaper, leaned back on the sofa, and elegantly took a sip of hot tea, exuding the aura of a superior.

No one would have guessed that the person in front of them was one of the high-ranking members of the Black Vatican, Salang's confidant, and the still blue-robed deacon wanted by the Inquisition.

"Sir, something terrible has happened!" A middle-aged man who looked like a gardener rushed to Mu He, panting, and said, "We..."

"Calm down, speak slowly, keep your voice down, don't let others hear..." Mu He calmly took a sip of tea and said with a slight reproach.

"Oh..." The gardener admired the adult's composure and took a breath to calm himself down.

"What were you going to say?" Mu He asked.

"Well, it's nothing, it's just that the tunnel we dug was discovered by the military."

"Click!"

With a sharp crack, the glass Mu He was holding shattered into shards, startling the gardener who looked nervously at the adult's face.

"Why didn't you say something this important sooner!" If it weren't for Mu Zhuoyun and the others, Mu He would have loved to immediately send this good-for-nothing guy to the Black Beast Demon as food!

"Didn't you tell me to speak slowly..." the gardener thought with a hint of grievance.

Mu He was no longer as calm as before; his face turned pale and then red, clearly indicating that he was very angry.

"roll!"

The gardener was overjoyed, running away without even bothering to pick up his lost shoes. This shows that even these grey-robed priests, who treated human life like dirt, were terrified of Muhe's cruelty.

Mu He's mind was not on the gardener at all. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains and glass shards off his palms while thinking of a solution.

Even though this Bo City plan was just a rehearsal, Lord Salang attached great importance to it. Although his true body was still laying out plans in the ancient capital, he was also paying close attention to the progress of the plan here.

If he failed, Mu He trembled involuntarily, his heart filled with fear, unable to imagine how miserable his fate would be.

As one of her top generals, Mu He was well aware of her methods, which were truly so extreme that people could neither live nor die!

"Looks like we need to move the plan forward a bit, and we'll have to send more people to lure in some more giant-eyed rats so we can dig a few more tunnels. Let's see if you can bury them faster, or we can dig them faster!" Suddenly remembering something, Mu He's lips curled into a cold smile. "Now that you've figured it out, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
