Destroying the Black Vatican

Chapter 71 Destroying the Black Vatican

"Lord Salang, the plan has failed..." Muhe reported anxiously from a secluded alley using special communication equipment.

"What!" Salang roared. "Didn't you say it was a sure thing?"

"Lord Salang, I never expected that a high-ranking mage from the Inquisition would interfere..." Mu He said tremblingly.

"Alright, you'll set off for the ancient capital now. The failure of the Bo City disaster is fine, but the grand ceremony of the Ancient Capital Crisis cannot tolerate any mishaps!" Salang paused, then continued, "As for this setback, I'll reward you handsomely!"

The woman's voice sounded somewhat cold, but her words sent chills down Mu He's spine.

"Lord Salang, Lord Salang..." Mu He shouted anxiously, only to be met with the dial tone of the communicator being disconnected.

"It's over!" Mu He slumped helplessly against the wall. He knew Salang's methods best; it was truly a situation where one could neither live nor die!

…………

On the other side, in the outskirts of the ancient capital...

"Who exactly are you...?" A woman with delicate features collapsed helplessly, her clothes stained with blood beneath her.

Salang hung up the communicator, looked at the woman before him, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Elder Ling Xi of the Ancient Capital, is it? I'll borrow your identity to help me complete my grand plan! As for you..."

As Salang spoke, the heel of his red high heel pressed against Lingxi's forehead.

"What do you mean!" Lingxi tried her best to condense magic, but failed every time. Xingzi, who was usually very obedient, was now like a frightened little bird, not listening to her commands at all.

"You think you can cast magic after being hit by my Soul-Severing Powder?" Salang sneered, realizing Lingxi's intentions.

"【Soul-Severing Powder】? You're from the Black Church!" Lingxi exclaimed in shock, struggling frantically.

"Oh? You actually guessed my identity, then I can't let you live any longer!" Salang's fair and delicate arm plunged straight into Lingxi's chest, pulling out her still-beating heart.

"I want your heart!"

"you……"

Finally, the light of life faded from Lingxi's eyes, and her delicate body collapsed weakly to the ground.

"Tear her body to shreds and throw it out to feed the dead!" Salang ordered her blue-clad subordinate, casually wiping her spoils with her red dress.

"Yes, Lord Salang!" The man in blue behind him replied tremulously, his head bowed.

Immediately afterwards, Salang's face underwent a bizarre change, becoming exactly the same as the deceased Lingxi!

Salang, or rather "Lingxi," wore a faint smile as she gazed at the dazzling lights of the ancient capital...

"Mu He is such a useless piece of trash, I had to take action myself!"

…………

In the suburbs of Bo City, at an abandoned meat processing plant, a dozen or so people gathered together. Regardless of gender, they were all dressed in gray robes. If members of the Inquisition were here, they would certainly recognize that these were the standard attire of the Gray Robe Cult.

"Yu'ang, how's it going on your end? Did you manage to snatch the Sacred Spring?" A man with a noticeable scar on his face asked a masked man in black robes beside him with a mocking tone.

"Damn it, that mid-level female judge seems to have discovered something. She's been staying right next to Mo Fan, and I haven't had a chance to make a move at all!" Yu Ang said angrily.

"So, your mission failed again? What a complete waste!" the scarred man sneered.

"You're probably going to lose the other half of your face too!"

"Old Lu, if you're so capable, you do it!" Yu Ang retorted angrily.

…………

"Alright, the most important thing now is to move the Cursed Magic Pool as quickly as possible, and make sure those guys from the Inquisition don't find out. Otherwise, our losses will be huge!"

A gray-robed man who looked like a leader stepped into the abandoned factory and stopped the argument between the two.

The man in the black robe was a black-clad priest of the Black Vatican, and he was quite prestigious among his gray-clad subordinates.

"yes!"

The crowd responded.

Suddenly, one of the silent gray-robed cultists raised his dark red, malevolent eyes and met the gaze of the black-robed priest.

"The Spider's Trap!"

As the crimson star map appeared, a dark and chilling aura enveloped them, causing everyone from the Black Church present to shiver involuntarily.

Eerie, chilling, terrifying!

The incredibly eerie crimson spider silk appeared out of thin air, intertwining and forming a cursed spider web that glowed with an evil light!

Once entangled in the silk threads, these Black Vatican cultivators, whether at the initial or intermediate level, would be unable to unleash any magic. In other words, if they tried to concentrate, a bizarre and evil spider would appear in their mental sea, its crimson compound eyes carrying a nightmare effect similar to a curse haze, enough to completely render them powerless to resist. Their mental energy would then be transformed into nutrients to support the growth of their curse-type abilities!

Evil, vicious, formless and intangible, and difficult to resist—this is the curse system, one of the most terrifying magic systems. Without mental protection or the blessing of light, death is the only way out!

"It's a curse! Run!" The leader, a mid-level black-robed priest, was the most powerful and still managed to put up some resistance, struggling to unleash his magic. However, in front of Ling Tianyu, his struggles were as weak and pitiful as a lamb.

As for the other novice gray-robed cultists, they had no power to resist at all. After a moment of panic, without exception, their minds were instantly controlled by the curse system.

If they could summon the Black Beast Demon in time, it could cause Ling Tianyu some trouble. However, the Curse faction wouldn't give them the chance to summon it; their souls were devoured by the Blood Shadow Spider in an instant.

…………

Ling Tianyu had previously used a combination of mental curses to force the traitor from the Holy Spring to reveal their meeting place.

To successfully infiltrate the Black Vatican's ranks, Ling Tianyu even forced himself to strip off the Black Vatican's uniform and put it on. Fortunately, the members of the Black Vatican weren't very familiar with each other, and new members joined from time to time. With the help of some psychological manipulation, his disguise didn't give him away.

The result was encouraging; they were finally wiped out in one fell swoop!

"Mid-level curse-type is indeed monstrous!" Ling Tianyu thought to himself with delight. He had thought that one use of [Evil Spider Trap] might not be enough to deal with all the members, especially that mid-level black-clad one. He was even planning to use plant-type to finish him off.

Fortunately, the curses were powerful enough to wipe out more than a dozen people with a single spell!
