Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation.

Chapter 274 Archdeacon Hujin

"Why are you so sure?" Ling Xi asked.

"We have conducted an investigation before. At that time, the rainwater in Bo City was mixed with Bo City's sacred spring and a substance that can make demons violent. In the rainwater of the ancient capital this time, in addition to the Nine Nether Dew, we also detected substances similar to those in the heavy rain in Bo City..." The man in white cloth spoke out their investigation results and speculations in a deep voice.

Ling Xi looked at the man in white cloth calmly and asked, "What's the point of knowing all this? I would rather hear how to resolve this catastrophe!"

The man in white cloth said, "The rain is probably only the first link of the Black Pepper Court's plan. The second link is to wake up the ancient king. Once the ancient king wakes up, the inner city will turn into a pool of blood! So if you want to solve the disaster of the ancient capital, you must first solve the source of the rain, then find the ancient king's tomb, and find a way to make the ancient king continue to sleep!"

Everyone despaired when they heard this. The ancient king was so terrifying, one of the most powerful beings in human history. It was simply a fantasy to want him to continue to fall into a deep sleep.

"Let's not talk about the Ancient King for now. What we need to do now is to solve the problem of the undead appearing during the day!" Although desperate, there is always a glimmer of hope. Zhu Meng understands that the top priority now is to protect the ancient capital and not allow the undead to continue to erode it. If even the ancient capital no longer exists, it will no longer matter whether the Ancient King wakes up or not.

Military commander Lu Xu said helplessly: "It is not something we can do to change the celestial phenomena. This is only possible if a forbidden spell master takes action!"

When everyone heard this, they all felt helpless. If they had the ability to change the celestial phenomena, they could deal with those undead kings. Why would they worry about this?
The man in white cloth said, "We can't change the celestial phenomena, so we can only start with the Nine Nether Dew in the rain. As long as we find something that can neutralize the Nine Nether Dew and blend it into the rain, we can completely solve this disaster of the undead! Outside the ancient capital, there have always been some villages that have not been invaded by the undead. The reason for this is that they have a spring called Kunjing Source Spring in their villages. This spring has mild energy and can dissolve the resentment of the undead!"

Zhu Meng confirmed: "You mean the Kunjing source spring in Wei Jucun can dissolve the Nine Nether Dew?"

"Yes, the Kunjing source can balance out the fury and deadly grudge of the Nine Nether Dew, just like an acid and an alkaline. Unfortunately, I always thought Fang Gu was a member of the Black Pepper Court. In order not to expose my whereabouts, I never took action against him. When the catastrophe struck, I could no longer find his whereabouts!" said the man in white cloth.

Chief Instructor Feijiao asked: "Can a single Kunjing spring hold back such heavy rain?"

The man in white cloth said: "The key to this catastrophe is the Ancient King. This Kunjing source of water can absorb the rainwater and buy us half a day. During this half day when the undead are sleeping, we must find the Ancient King's imperial tomb and seal it. Only then can this catastrophe be completely ended!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. They had no idea what was going on and could only choose to believe this person who did not want to reveal his identity.

The people present were not stupid. If this person's identity was really problematic, he would not have to come out and tell everyone about it, because before he revealed it, they didn't even know about the existence of the Black Pepper Court and its plans.

However, the man in white cloth appeared in this way, obviously showing his distrust of the people present.

He even suspected that Saran was among those present.

After some probing between the two sides, the man in white cloth said: "My people have obtained the source of Kunjing Spring. You wait here for me, I will go and get it!" With that, the man in white cloth walked out of the Bell Tower Magic Association.

……

"Hua Hua Hua..."

The heavy rain kept falling, beating on the city. The coldness penetrated through the steel and concrete and seeped into people's bones. It was unbearable!
"A body was found in the back alley south of the bell tower. It seems to be the mysterious man just now!" A guarding mage fell from a great height and said to everyone on the watchtower with tears on his face.

"What?" Everyone was shocked and hurriedly asked the wizard to lead the way.

Soon, they arrived at the back alley, and sure enough, a person wearing the same white cloth was lying there, his body shrouded in a faint curse, an empty shell. "This... Hei Jiao Ting is too arrogant, they actually dared to commit murder right under our noses!" Zhu Meng said angrily.

Someone finally discovered the truth and found a way to resolve the problem, but unexpectedly, the person died just a few minutes later.

Several senior executives were also aware of the presence of Black Pepper Court among the people present, even Saran was among them.

Fortunately, the man in white cloth appeared again. He was not really dead, but used the death of his men to lure the snake out of its hole.

President Han Ji understood the seriousness of the situation and for the safety of the ancient capital, he immediately placed everyone present under house arrest.

Han Ji sealed the cultivation of everyone, including his own, and announced that everyone would be executed in an hour, in order to lure the snake out of its hole!
For a time, people were in panic. The disaster in the ancient capital came too suddenly, and ordinary people had no idea what had happened. But as the news spread, everyone learned the truth of the matter.

"Damn Black Pepper Court, it was all because of Black Pepper Court's conspiracy that caused our ancient capital to suffer such a catastrophe!"

"Hei Jiaoting must die, Saran must die, Saran must be killed!!!"

……

There was an uproar in the inner city's security zone. Both the mages and the common people hated Black Pepper Court and Saran to the core.

The members of the Black Pepper Court hiding in the dark were also in a panic. After all, their leader Saran was under house arrest by the high-ranking officials of the ancient capital and would be executed within an hour!
In a manor in the inner city, Chief Butler Hu Jin and his men gathered together.

"Deacon Hu Jin, what should we do now!"

"Hmph, it's just bluffing. When the ancient capital was in disaster, they didn't dare to let all the super-class mages be buried with the Lord. Their real target is us. They want to threaten us to hand over the method of saving the ancient capital!" Deacon Hu Jin said confidently.

A deacon in blue asked, "What if? What if they choose to die together?"

Deacon Hu Jin pondered for a moment and said, "The Lord Sect Leader must not make any mistakes. So... you continue to hide in the dark, and I will turn myself in and ask them to release the Lord Sect Leader!"

However, at this moment, a member of the Black Pepper Court had a bright red cut on his neck, and hot blood instantly gushed out and sprayed down.

"boom……"

The Black Pepper Court member covered his neck with both hands, his face full of ferocity and unwillingness, and fell to the ground.

"Who is it, who is there!!!!" Deacon Hu Jin shouted in shock.
