Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

"No, I came here to hunt demons."

Li Xingze didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"Demons? The demons you're talking about are the mountain people?"

Shao Yu looked at him with a puzzled expression. Apart from his spirit and remnant spirit, this mountain man didn't have anything of value on him.

"No, I'm talking about a great demon, a monarch-level one," Li Xingze said seriously.

"Monarchical"

Shao Yu's beautiful eyes widened, and she covered her mouth with her hands, clearly shocked by the news.

High-level mages are nothing more than ants in front of monarch-level demons, unable to stir up any trouble at all.

Let alone high-level mages, even super-level mages would have a hard time surviving a direct hit from a monarch-level mage.

"Impossible. There is absolutely no way a monarch-level demon could appear here. Our military has already investigated, and the beast king here is already dead."

The leading military mages stepped forward and questioned this.

Although Li Xingze had just saved them, they still trusted the information coming from above more.

Li Xingze raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "You didn't come here to investigate the cause of the Beast King's death?"

"Of course not. News of the Purple Satin Tree has spread from above, and that's why we've come," the military magistrate continued.

Li Xingze frowned. Are all the people in power in Yantai this brainless?

The death of a monarch-level beast king did not raise any alarm; instead, it encouraged a large number of mages to come here and die.

Although Li Xingze had no interest in the Yantai government's decisions, he decided to tell the speaker or the military leader about it out of a sense of morality.

They treat the life of a monk as worthless, even considering him as a potential execution by hanging.

"What are your plans? To leave or to stay?"

Li Xingze looked at Shao Yu. There were no officers among these military mages, so Shao Yu was clearly the leader.

Shao Yu frowned, looked up at Li Xingze, and asked, "How confident are you?"

"Ninety-eight percent chance, barring any unforeseen circumstances, there will definitely be a bloodbath in these mountains," Li Xingze said.

Upon hearing this, Shao Yu and several military mages' expressions changed; they had thought it was just Li Xingze's guess.

Since Li Xingze dared to say 98%, he must have corresponding evidence.

They were all saved by Li Xingze; there's no way he would deliberately lie to them.

"We need to stay here; the rest of the main force is waiting for us to join them."

Shaoyu is clearly a proud person, and she doesn't want to give up halfway.

"With your level of cultivation, you're not even qualified to be cannon fodder in front of a monarch-level demon. I advise you to leave," Li Xingze continued.

When the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree was being slain, these high-level mages were completely useless, and could even be considered a hindrance.

Although Yan Shi was at the semi-forbidden spell level, he was already very old. Even with the help of the Moon Moth Phoenix, he still could not kill the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree.

With Li Xingze and Yan Lingji joining the team, there is a better chance of winning.

"Gurgle~"

The military mages looked at each other, and they could all hear their companions swallowing.

For a moment, they didn't know what to say. A mission is a mission. Even if there were monarch-level demons in the mountains, they still had to relay the message to the main force.

Shao Yu remained relatively calm. After a moment's thought, she said, "Now that we know this important news, we should inform the mages in the main force, and then let their leader make the decision."

Although she wasn't a military mage, since she had joined the team, she naturally had to consider the others. Li Xingze frowned; although he knew they would make this choice, he was still a little annoyed.

After all, the team composed of military mages from Yantai ultimately obeyed the orders of an official.

But once this guy sees the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree, he won't choose to leave at all.

"I've said everything I needed to say. The rest is up to you," Li Xingze said calmly.

"Yes, thank you for your help," Shaoyu said.

After separating from their group, Li Xingze and the others continued flying deeper into the territory.

After flying for more than half an hour, Li Xingze finally saw a towering tree that covered an entire area, its thick trunk even taller than a mountain!

Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree!

Under the sunlight, the sacred purple linden tree reflected dappled purple light, while the vast expanse of green grass stretched endlessly.

Compared to the bright and beautiful branches and leaves, the area under the tree presents a completely different picture.

Bright red blood flowed like a stream along the incredibly thick root, down the gullies of the soil.

The gruesome corpses were scattered haphazardly in different locations, and even the swirling and blowing wind was filled with the smell of death.

These corpses are not human; they are all the corpses of mountain people.

Although the mountain man is considered a relatively powerful demon, he is not even in the same league as the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree.

Not to mention this Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree, even the demons on this tree are no match for this mountain man.

"It looks like we were the first ones to arrive here."

Li Xingze scanned his surroundings but did not find the mage.

That makes sense; even if they set off early, how could walking possibly be faster than flying?

"This is a Purple Crown Tree, how did you know it was here?"

Looking at the astonishing sight before her, Lingling exclaimed in surprise.

"I saw it on a hunting website."

Li Xingze pinched Lingling's little face, and immediately received a big eye roll in return.

"You said you came here to hunt a powerful demon. Could it be that the powerful demon you're talking about is this Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree?"

Lingling's beautiful eyes widened. Regardless of what special abilities this demon might possess, its enormous body alone made it an absolute top-tier existence among monarch-level beings.

It is absolutely no less powerful than the guardian deity of Hangzhou, the Black Serpent!

Chen Ying also looked on in shock. Could a mage really contend with such a being?

Even though Li Xingze has broken through to the Super Rank, compared to such a massive demon, he is simply not a concept!

"Rustling sound~~~~"

Just as Li Xingze was about to explain, footsteps and voices suddenly came from afar.

Li Xingze immediately flew several hundred meters high to take a look and found that it was indeed Mo Fan and his three companions.

When Mo Fan and his three companions saw Li Xingze, they were equally delighted, for he was the biggest and most powerful ally!

After witnessing the mountain man's prowess, they all felt somewhat uncertain.

After all, when they parted ways, Ze Ge had said that there was a powerful demon in the mountains that they couldn't possibly deal with with their strength.

"You guys are pretty fast."

Li Xingze was somewhat helpless. If he hadn't been delayed by rescuing people along the way, he would most likely have already dealt with the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree.

By this time, the Yan family should have already learned the truth about the Moon Moth Phoenix incident and are probably on their way.

In that case, he could save himself one or two forbidden spell scrolls.

He had originally planned to use two A-grade forbidden spell scrolls to instantly kill the Heavenly Crown Purple Satin Tree, but now it seems unnecessary. (End of Chapter)
