Versatile Mage: One innate talent for each system

Chapter 328 Ancestor Mu
"A forbidden spellcaster?!"

The surging magical aura surrounding Dean Xiao caused the expressions of all the Mu clan members present to change drastically.

The elders were struck dumb, their legs trembling uncontrollably.

No one expected that this seemingly ordinary old man would actually be a forbidden spell mage!

It should be noted that, throughout the entire Chinese nation, masters of forbidden spells are extremely rare.

These top-tier experts, whose presence is rarely seen and whose whereabouts are usually beyond the reach of ordinary people, are now standing alive on Mount Mupang, their invisible pressure making it almost impossible for people to breathe.

The Grand Elder, forcing himself to stand straight, his palms already soaked with cold sweat, said in a trembling voice, "As a forbidden spellcaster, do you not know the ironclad rules of the Forbidden Spells Association? Unauthorized interference in worldly disputes will leave you with no place in the Forbidden Spells Association! You should understand what this means—it means that all forbidden spellcasters will be held accountable!!"

"That's what I originally thought too, but His Highness said that forbidden spells, like the Mu Clan, have no reason to exist. In my opinion, that's quite correct," Dean Xiao said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the Mu family members were terrified that Dean Xiao would unleash forbidden magic.

A bead of cold sweat appeared on the elder's forehead.

I wonder if the ancestor is at Mount Mupang right now. If he isn't, I'm afraid Mount Mupang will at least be leveled today.

The air seemed to solidify into a heavy block of lead, making one's chest feel suffocated.

Just then, an ancient yet powerful voice resounded from the deepest part of Mount Mupang, carrying a majestic aura that pierced the heavens:

"Oh, why do you say that, my friend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a white figure appeared before everyone's eyes like a ghost.

The newcomer had a full head of silver hair that cascaded down like a waterfall. He wore a plain white robe that had been washed until it was almost white. Although it was an ordinary outfit, he had an air of transcendence that transcended worldly affairs.

He didn't intentionally release any magical fluctuations, but with each step he took, the stone slabs beneath his feet froze with icy frost.

Upon seeing this person, the Grand Elder was first taken aback, then stepped forward with delight to greet him: "Ancestor!"

This is the Mu Clan Ancestor, one of the two great forbidden spell masters of the Mu Clan.

He secluded himself deep in the Mupang Mountains for many years, and even his own clan members rarely saw his true face, let alone outsiders.

The reason why the Mu clan has been able to maintain its position as the number one magic clan in China is precisely because it has the foundation of two forbidden spell masters.

Besides this ancestor, another forbidden spell is that of Mu Rong, a puppet mage controlled by the Antarctic Emperor in the original timeline, whose title is Ice Emperor.

The Mu Clan Patriarch nodded slightly, signaling the Grand Elder to step back. His gaze suddenly sharpened when it fell on Dean Xiao: "Friend, now that you have reached the realm of forbidden spells, you should know the rules of this profession. No forbidden spell mage may interfere in worldly disputes. This is an ironclad rule established by the Forbidden Spells Association, and it applies to everyone. If you insist on acting recklessly, the Forbidden Spells Association will definitely initiate trial proceedings against you."

He had lived deep in the mountains for a long time and had never met Dean Xiao. His words carried a hint of condescension and admonition.

"It's the same old excuse again." Dean Xiao didn't bother with any more words.

He casually raised his right hand and slapped the air in front of a cluster of ancient buildings nearby.

The invisible spatial force instantly transformed into visible ripples, slamming down like a giant hand!
"Boom——!"

Several deafening explosions rang out in succession, and the ancient Mu family building, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was instantly crushed into pieces as if it were made of paper.

Splinters of wood mixed with bricks and stones flew into the sky!

"Do you really not know the price of this action?!" The Mu Clan Ancestor was furious. A dazzling white light instantly rose around him, and the air seemed to freeze. Ice rays rose in mid-air to block the spread of spatial power.

Dean Xiao ignored this and waved his hands repeatedly.

More spatial ripples spread like a tide, causing pavilions and towers to collapse wherever they passed, and even tearing deep, bottomless cracks into the solid mountainside.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Boom—!!!" The entire Mount Mupang trembled violently, as if a major earthquake had occurred.

Within seconds, a large area halfway up the mountain was reduced to ruins. The rising dust blotted out the sun, causing the Mu clan members to cough repeatedly. Many people were hit by falling rocks and cried out in pain.

"Ancestor, how could a forbidden spell mage act so recklessly? If this continues, Mount Mupang will collapse!" The First Elder was extremely anxious. Mount Mupang contained many important treasures, all of which were priceless!
Although the majority of the Mu family's assets are located throughout the country and overseas, some very important resources, such as spirit seeds, essences, and magical artifacts, are stored in various treasure rooms.

The treasure room at Mount Mumpang is the largest of them all.

The Mu family patriarch's face turned ashen, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, his body blazing with white light, and he thrust his palms forward—countless ice spikes shot out like bamboo shoots, colliding fiercely with Dean Xiao's spatial power!
"Tsk-!"

The collision of the two forbidden spell-level forces created a bizarre dividing line in the sky: on one side was a distorted spatial rift, and on the other side was a torrent of surging ice crystals.

Dean Xiao appeared relaxed and at ease, while the Mu family patriarch's forehead veins bulged and his face turned bright red, clearly indicating that he was struggling.

Anyone with eyes can see that the two are not even on the same level.

The Mu family patriarch was shocked by Dean Xiao's power, but at the same time he couldn't believe that Xiao didn't take the rules of the Forbidden Spell Society seriously at all.

Isn't he afraid of attracting the wrath of the Forbidden Spell Society?

"Since you are so stubborn, I have no choice but to report everything here to the Forbidden Curse Association!" Seeing that things were not going well, the Mu Clan Patriarch left behind a harsh remark, and with a flash of light around him, he instantly escaped under the cover of the ice crystals.

Dean Xiao wanted to raise his hand to stop him, but Jiang Yuan's voice suddenly rang in his mind:
"Let him go. I want to see how many people want to stand up for the rules of the Forbidden Spells Association. First, arrest all the Mu clan members present and bring them back to the Shanghai Trial Council."

Dean Xiao's eyes flickered, and he immediately withdrew the spatial power he was about to unleash, turning his attention to the panicked Mu clan members.

With a wave of his hand, countless spatial rifts exploded in the crowd, transforming into semi-transparent energy shields that trapped the Mu clan members one by one.

"Ah! Let me go!"

"Why can't I use my magic?!"

"Ancestor, help me!"

The screams of the tribesmen rose and fell, but their resistance was futile against the power of the forbidden spell mage.

Those energy shields appeared thin, yet they were indestructible. No matter how much magic they released, it could only create ripples on the shield walls.

"The dean is truly vigorous for his age!"

Looking at the Mu clan members who were trapped in the space, Mo Fan raised his hands and began to cheer for Dean Xiao.

Dean Xiao flew down from mid-air and landed in front of Jiang Yuan.

“All the Mu clan members of Mupang Mountain are here.”

Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "Let's go straight back to Shanghai."

"Back to Shanghai? Going back so soon?" Mo Fan leaned closer, holding a red crystal containing a rich fire element that he had obtained from who-knows-where.

The adorable little Flame Princess popped out from behind him and bit into the fire element crystal, making a crunching sound.

“There’s nothing to do here, so we can go back and bring Ji Ming out of the Shanghai Tribunal,” Jiang Yuan said.

"Then what are you doing with so many people?" Mo Fan asked, pointing at the captured members of the Mu clan.

“Let’s put them on trial while we’re at it. Don’t you like framing others? We can frame them too,” Jiang Yuan said with a smile.
