Versatile Mage: Started as Gengar and was selected for the National Government Tournament

Chapter 114 The mastermind behind the scenes

Heavy rain pounded this precarious thousand-year-old capital.

Fortunately, Chu Ming's monarch-level contracted beast bought enough time for the people to move all the residents of the outer city of the ancient capital into the inner city barrier.

But at this moment, a royal guard mage hurriedly flew to the watchtower and brought bad news.

"Councilor Zhu Meng, a body was found in the alley south of the clock tower. It seems to be the man in the gray robe."

"what?"

Everyone was horrified and hurriedly asked the royal mage to lead the way.

Soon.

Zhu Meng, Han Ji and others arrived at the back alley and saw a person wrapped tightly in gray and white clothes lying there. He was surrounded by death and had completely lost his life.

"These beasts from the Black Church actually committed atrocities right under our noses. They will never be forgiven!"

Anger burned in Zhu Meng's eyes.

Finally someone found out the truth.

Unexpectedly, in just one hour, the man in gray robe was framed.

Han Ji's face turned grim. "Just when I saw hope... the Black Church took action. They really have an unyielding desire to destroy our ancient capital."

Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly said to the guard mage beside him: "Chu Ming, where is Chu Ming now?!"

"Brother Chu, should he still be in the lounge of the tower?"

"not good!"

Zhu Meng's eyes widened and he reacted instantly. Two fiery red wings suddenly spread out and flew towards the city wall.

A few minutes later.

Everyone hurried to the lounge on the city wall.

But he was surprised to see the door suddenly open.

Chu Ming came out dragging the body of a middle-aged man.

"You..." Zhu Meng and Han Ji were both dumbfounded.

"He wanted to assassinate me, and I noticed it." Chu Ming explained, "This guy hid a deadly poison in his mouth. He must be from the Black Church."

"Good boy!" Zhu Meng couldn't help but laugh.

Han Ji also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, as long as you are okay."

"As I just told everyone, there are Salang's accomplices among those present. And after these two assassinations, I seriously suspect that Salang himself was at the scene!"

"Who?"

Zhu Meng turned his head and was dumbfounded.

Because another man in a gray robe walked up.

"You are still alive?" Elder Ling Xi asked in surprise.

"Before I revealed all this to you, I had my men dress the same as me and have him pretend to be me to receive the message."

"I really hoped that my speculation was wrong and that he could come back safely, but the result..."

The gray-robed man walked through the crowd and sighed.

Even his subordinates were ready to die the moment they became substitutes.

But this result still made him feel sad.

Li Yujian, the head of the Li family, opened his mouth slightly, shocked.

He had previously suspected that this guy was talking nonsense.

However, only the senior officials present knew the whereabouts of the gray-robed man and Chu Ming's location.

The facts are before our eyes!

Among them, there are spies from the Black Church!

So... who is it?

"I won't let my men sacrifice like this. President, please give the order." The gray-robed man saluted Han Ji respectfully.

"The ancient capital is in imminent danger. We really don't have much time. Apparently, his speculation is correct, so... everyone, I apologize."

Han Ji's words fell.

The next second, a group of purple figures appeared around the alley.

The royal mages appeared and quickly surrounded everyone.

Han Ji waved his hand again, and suddenly a purple soul chain flew over, quickly binding everyone present.

"President Han, how could you doubt me?!" Anger appeared on Li Yujian's face.

Ling Xi, the elder of the Hunter Alliance, had a grim expression on his face. He took a deep breath and said, "President, if we are lost, when the eight dead kings attack, there will be no one left in the ancient capital to fight."

Han Ji's eyes were determined as he shook his head. "There's only one Saran. In order for the rescue plan to go smoothly, I have to put everyone in a difficult position. If the catastrophe can be quelled, I will apologize to everyone."

Hearing Han Ji's decisive words.

Everyone present was also extremely helpless. Off to the side, Chu Ming frowned, his gaze scanning the area before finally landing on Ling Xi, the Hunter Alliance elder.

Soul perception.

Among all the people present, only this woman's aura made her the most suspicious.

But it made him a little uncertain.

Because people are complicated.

But the soul of this woman was just mottled and chaotic.

Among them, the role of good souls is also not small.

In terms of the degree of evil, the ghost woman who murdered the Fire Witch was much more evil than her.

And the extremely evil Black Vatican Bishop who could treat millions of people as nothing and harm them at will.

Is there still room for purity and kindness in the soul?
Just as Chu Ming was thinking.

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Zhang Xiaohou and others came up with a middle-aged man.

"Mr. President, we found Fang Gu!" Mo Fan pointed at the middle-aged man next to him and said to Han Ji.

Han Ji nodded: "Okay, this way, we will have more time to deal with this undead disaster!"

"President, according to our speculation, the person from the Black Church who is secretly plotting the ancient capital must be the same person who originally plotted the Bo City incident. The person from the Black Church who has irrefutable evidence of the Bo City incident only discovered Mu Yuang, but the mastermind behind the scenes has never been revealed!"

Mo Fan said regretfully.

Suddenly, he thought of something and looked at Mu Bai beside him: "Oh, right, Mu Yuang is Mu Zhuoyun's adopted son, right? How did he get into your Mu family in the first place?"

Mu Bai looked hesitant. "It seems... my uncle discovered him and recommended him."

"Your uncle?" Mo Fan reconfirmed.

"I... I don't know the details, but my uncle is the steward of the Mu family." Mu Bai explained.

"Isn't your uncle Mu He?" Zhao Kunsan blurted out.

Zhang Xiaohou, who was standing by, suddenly felt extremely painful when he heard the name "Mu He" and his whole body began to tremble violently.

Han Ji frowned, grabbed Zhang Xiaohou's wrist, and quickly tore off his sleeve!

I saw a black centipede-like mark embedded in the flesh of the arm, which looked extremely hideous.

"Forget the bugs!"

Han Ji exclaimed and quickly cast healing magic.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaohou suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes and growled, "Mu He, that guy... is Mu He!!"

"Don't even think about it, stop now, or you'll lose your life!!"

Han Ji roared.

Seeing this, Chu Ming decisively slapped Zhang Xiaohou's neck hard with his knife, knocking him unconscious.

"So, the mastermind behind the two disasters in Bo City and the ancient capital was your uncle Mu He?" Mo Fan stared at Mu Bai.

"This... is unbelievable." Zhao Kunsan was already a little unsteady.
Mu Bai remained silent.

Mu He has always been very kind to him and taken good care of him.

It can be said that Mu He has always been the elder he respected most in the Mu family, but the result has developed in the direction he least wanted to see.

……

at the same time.

In the ancient city, at a corner of Huiming Street.

Two men wrapped in raincoats are meeting.

"Are you sure the gray-robed man is still alive? Lord Saran has been imprisoned?" Mu He, the chief steward of Hujin, who was wearing a blue raincoat, frowned and asked.
"Yes, I'm quite sure!" replied the man in the black raincoat.
Mu He couldn't help but clench his fists, feeling very annoyed.

As the chief deacon of Hujin, he is one of the masterminds of the disaster.

In order to prevent being exposed, I will definitely not take action.

But the incompetence of his subordinates was beyond his imagination!

It had been planned for ten years.

However, this time, the ancient capital plan has encountered frequent problems.

The first battle started with the elimination of the dangerous village. Such a simple action, but the subordinates made mistakes.

Now the assassination attempt has failed.

That causes a chain reaction.

This puts Lord Saran in trouble.

"No, we can't just sit there and wait. We have to talk to them." Mu He's eyes narrowed and he made some decision.

"Who should we send this time?" the man in the black raincoat asked immediately.

Mu He smiled and said, "The great ceremony is about to begin, and sacrifices are inevitable, including me."
