Full-Time Mage: Double Return, Niu Ma Mo Fan

Chapter 124 Immortals
Everyone froze in place upon hearing this!

High-level students from the same cohort?
Do you possess a commander-level contracted beast?

Can these words be combined together?

The scene fell silent.

Zhou Min's pupils constricted. She never expected that this seemingly ordinary man was actually the true top genius of Pearl Academy!
She was in the same cohort as him, but he was already a high-level mage. Zhou Min was utterly shocked!

Reaching the advanced level means one can no longer be called a student; with such cultivation, one can step out of the campus and become a key figure in charge of a region.

Mu Bai sighed silently to himself, his shock no less than Zhou Min's.

He already thought it was outrageous that Mo Fan, a nobody, could have such strength, but now that he'd seen something even more outrageous, he really didn't know what to say.

This genius who came from Bo City now seems insignificant.

Indeed, there are differences between mages, and the differences are even greater than the differences between a person and a dog.
Jiang Li, from the ancient capital's academy, remained silent at this moment.

High-level mages are undoubtedly powerful figures, pillars of the upper and middle ranks in any faction. It's astonishing that such a young high-level mage exists!
As for commander-level contracted beasts, he didn't even dare to imagine how powerful they would be!

The seven or eight mid-level generals who were almost at the level of a battle general were barely able to withstand it, let alone the commander-level generals!
Who would believe such an achievement could happen to someone barely twenty years old?!

He had previously made a carefree mockery of Mingzhu Academy, saying it was just so-so, but now he dared not speak again, for fear that someone would bring up that incident again.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Mo Fan felt incredibly pleased. As fellow members of Mingzhu, he shared in their glory.

"You're going to expose my past right away?"

Meng Qiuzhen often had a smile on his face, and his tone revealed no emotion.

"Sorry, I spoke too quickly. I just wanted to show off the muscles of our Pearl Academy, hehe."

Mo Fan apologized awkwardly, as if he was showing off his muscles, not Mingzhu's.

"Hehe." Meng Qiuzhen seemed to care, but in reality, she was quite indifferent.

His cultivation level and contracted beasts are not his true trump cards. It doesn't matter if others know about them. In fact, he wants more people to know about his visible trump cards in order to cover up his true trump cards.

As the two were talking, Ding Yumin moved closer to Meng Qiuzhen, but didn't say much. Only when facing Meng Qiuzhen would she show a slight change in expression. Normally, she was expressionless when dealing with other people.

"This is a real big shot! Please accept my utmost respect." Zhao Sankun and the others were practically begging Meng Qiuzhen to be their big brother and asking if he would take them as his underlings.

Even a prodigy like Mo Fan would envy this person; he's the real hidden master!

There's no need to be so polite.

"A great battle is about to begin, I'll be going now, you guys chat."

"By the way, I advise anyone who wants to stay in the outer city to hurry up and go to the inner city to take refuge. This time, the outer city may not be able to be protected."

As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Qiuzhen took Ding Yumin and left without looking back.

It's time to go see Zhu Meng. I wonder if that old bastard holds a grudge, after all, he injured him before.
"The outer city is not safe? This..." the leader asked doubtfully.

The outer city walls are tall, and the area is vast. The population living there is ridiculously large, having been accumulated over the years. If such a place were to fall, the ancient capital might be doomed.

"Tch, nonsense." Jiang Li ignored it and headed towards the main building in the north of the city.

Meng Qiuzhen's words are far too unbelievable. The outer city walls are sturdy enough to be seen. With such powerful mages guarding them, how could the outer city fall? It's utterly ridiculous!
Those present shared a similar view.

It wasn't until Mu Bai caught a glimpse of Mo Fan's dark expression that he asked, "Mo Fan, what's the basis for your classmate's statement?"

Mo Fan shook his head and said, "No, but I advise you to quickly notify the people of Bocheng Street to enter the inner city for safety. Old Meng's words are always very accurate and uncanny!" "This..."

"Let me give you a heads-up. I know that news without evidence is not convincing, but I have a feeling that this might really happen."

Mo Fan felt a chill run down his spine. Meng Qiuzhen must know something to dare to say that. He would have to ask her later, otherwise, she would just say one sentence and run away, which made him very uneasy.
"Let's go, let's go over there first."

"Let's go to the North Gate Tower together and ask Lao Meng if he has any inside information."

……

The main north gate tower is located at the north outer city gate. The tower is much larger than the corner towers. It is like a magnificent and imposing Jiange fortress standing on the city wall!
The rallying signal was sent from here, and by this time the city gate corridor was already packed with people, but judging from the mage badges they wore on their chests, most of them were still novice mages.

"Mages of intermediate and higher ranks, please come up to the city wall. Other mages, please remain where you are and await further orders."

A loud voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.

So, a few mid-level mages began to ascend the city wall and gathered in a hall on the wall. This hall was open at both ends, so they could see the dark land outside the city at a glance.

"Is that all these people?"

At the top of the stairs leading to the higher pavilion, a bearded man descended with an air of distinction, followed by a palace guard and a military intelligence officer.

"Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Meet the MP!"

Some mid-level mages who frequented this place immediately offered respectful greetings.

Mo Fan had already brought Zhou Min and Mu Bai to Meng Qiuzhen's side, but it was not appropriate to ask anything at this moment.

Zhu Meng walked straight up to Meng Qiuzhen, looked down at him, and said in a deep voice, "We meet again, Meng boy." Then he glanced at Mo Fan, "And you, you unlucky brat."

“Hehe,” Meng Qiuzhen was not afraid of Zhu Meng at all, unlike the respect shown to those around him. He was like this in Hangzhou and in the ancient capital. “You’ve forgotten the pain once the wound has healed, haven’t you? You’ve even set your sights on me.”

Meng Qiuzhen bluntly said that Zhu Meng was looking for someone to do it, otherwise Wu Pingjing wouldn't have come to him as soon as he returned, clearly wanting to conscript him as a laborer.

Zhu Meng's lips twitched. He hadn't expected Meng Qiuzhen to be so disrespectful to him. However, since Meng Qiuzhen hadn't avoided the battle at this time, he didn't make any further demands.

If he doesn't want to give me face, then so be it. If he could get Meng Qiuzhen to do it by putting aside his pride, he would actually be willing to do so.

Mo Fan's tone was a little better, and he muttered, "I also feel it's pretty unlucky to run into you."

"How dare you!" The military intelligence officer immediately glared at the two young mages for their lack of manners.

Zhu Meng waved his hand. Back in Hangzhou, one dared to scold him, and the other even dared to hit him. He didn't expect the two boys to show him any respect when they met again.

However, Zhou Min, Mu Bai, and Jiang Li all looked at the two with some surprise, not understanding how they could know a high-ranking councilor like Zhu Meng!

And that Meng Qiuzhen seems even more ruthless, actually starting to criticize right from the start. What kind of geniuses are these? Are they even students?

Anyone who didn't know better would think a high-ranking official from a magical court had arrived!
Even Ding Yumin, who was standing next to Meng Qiuzhen, couldn't help but show a slight look of shock!
This further confirms that Meng Qiuzhen actually has another identity, one that she is unaware of.

The girl was very curious, but she didn't ask too many questions. If the other party wanted her to know, they would let her know.
Zhu Meng glanced at everyone expressionlessly, not bothering to chat with Meng Qiuzhen any longer, clearly indicating that he was about to get down to business.

"I'm glad you could all be here, but I have some bad news to tell you."

"The Abyss of Evil has appeared just 30 kilometers to the north!"
