Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne

Chapter 140 Northern Club

Hearing the words in her ear felt like Bai Mo whispering in her ear, and even in the midst of battle, it made Mu Nujiao feel a little strange.

He exhaled lightly, and a green light shone in his hand instantly!

Three seconds ago, the stone brick ground where she had been standing suddenly cracked open, and several vines as thick as an arm burst from the ground, entwining themselves in the darkness.

Without the ability to see shadows, she couldn't see anything in the darkness, but she could sense that her vines were binding and locking that thing in place.

"Go to the right, walk for two seconds." Bai Mo's voice rang in her ears again, and Mu Nujiao immediately did as she was told, without any intention of retaliating.

And at that moment, that hoarse male voice rang out strangely.

"Hmph! You think you can trap me with this? I'll treat you better later."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a snapping sound was heard, and Mu Nujiao's expression darkened slightly as her vines broke free.

One after another, afterimages vanished into the air, while silver constellations occasionally shone.

From the main campus to the youth campus.

Bai Mo frowned slightly. The thing Mu Nujiao encountered possessed strong shadow abilities. Although his Shadow Realm couldn't yet hide from his sonic detection.

However, remote command alone is not enough to guide Mu Nujiao out of that shadowy maze on her own. She will be unconsciously influenced and then stray from her course.

Moreover, the thing in the shadows had become serious, and Bai Mo could only use constant telepathic communication to help Mu Nujiao evade its pursuit time and time again.

However, Mu Nujiao's magic drawing speed was gradually falling behind the attack frequency of that thing.

"Use the teleportation bead, shall we?" Hearing the familiar voice transmission in her ear, Mu Nujiao did not comply this time.

The creature lurking in the shadows already knew how she had dodged so many of its attacks. Therefore, she didn't mince words and calmly said:

"I can hold on a little longer; monks always get injured."

Bai Mo didn't speak, perhaps because he hadn't heard her.

Mu Nujiao didn't pay any attention, but the thing in the shadows laughed wildly.

"Heh heh heh, you think you can compare to me just because you're a sonic mage? You'll soon know what darkness is! I'll turn you into the lowest of slaves!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the darkness around her intensified. Even though she couldn't see, Mu Nujiao felt the air around her become thick and sticky.

A sense of danger permeated everything; it seemed that nowhere was safe.

Indeed, the previous battles had allowed those in the shadows to lay down a dense network of shadow spikes on all sides.

These shadow nails now completely surround Mu Nujiao, which is why Bai Mo made Mu Nujiao use the teleportation bead.

Mu Nujiao didn't speak; a transparent pendant resembling a trophy appeared in her hand. This was a one-time defensive magical artifact, her reward for winning the Magic Competition.

In an instant, golden streaks of light shot out, surrounding Mu Nujiao in the blink of an eye. The dense shadow nails coming from all directions were completely blocked.

"You think a mere Guangyou can stop me!"

A surge of shadowy energy suddenly erupted. Although there was light, Mu Nujiao felt that this area was even darker and deeper.

The surrounding shadow nails transformed into shadow blades, sharp enough to turn refined iron into sand. They attacked from all sides, striking the light surrounding Mu Nujiao.

With each blow she received, Mu Nujiao could feel Guangyou's light dimming a little.

She took out the teleportation bead, squeezed it, pursed her lips, and then her fingers drew a blue star map.

"Tornado!"

Mu Nujiao pushed with both hands, sending a fierce wind dragon rising into the darkness before her.

"Hmph—!" A mocking laugh rang out. "You think you can hurt me with your random magic? Quit resist and I might consider keeping you by my side instead of giving you away to those lowly servants."

Without speaking, Mu Nujiao quietly watched as the golden light screen of Guangyou in front of her was weakened by the Shadow Blade, and quietly felt the turbulent airflow slowly calm down.

Despite the shadow blades that seemed poised to break through the light and pin her down at any moment, she relaxed completely.

All because of a sentence that rang in my ears, "I'm here, keep the teleportation orb."

Seeing nothing, Mu Nujiao felt the darkness in front of her suddenly disappear, returning to ordinary shadows.

To her side and slightly in front, Bai Mo stood there, his pupils tinged with a thin layer of bright silver. A humanoid creature was suspended in mid-air, gripped by an invisible spatial hand.

It was completely covered in a dark red trench coat, and its face was pale.

At first glance, it looks no different from a human, but perhaps it's because Bai Mo pinched it too hard.

Its mouth was open, revealing a pair of long, sharp fangs.

Then, glancing around, I realized that I had unknowingly walked to the roadside.

Mu Nujiao walked to Bai Mo's side and glanced at the humanoid creature in the air.

"Thanks to you this time, what is this?"

"Vampires, a kind of demon, how did you get involved with them?"

A glint flashed in Bai Mo's eyes, and with the power of space, he prevented the vampire from escaping as a shadow bat.

Mu Nujiao shook her head, her delicate eyebrows furrowed, her eyes fixed on the vampire before her, and she hesitated before saying:

"I'm not entirely sure either, but it might be related to my recent mission with the city's monster-hunting team."

"What mission?"

"Our demon-hunting team recently received a case involving several women who died recently. The cause of their deaths may be suspicious; they all died of sudden cardiac arrest."

They all have good looks, but they were fine just a day before, and one of them is even a fitness instructor.

Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal; having a heart condition isn't unusual. But the person who reported the incident seemed to have some connection with these women, and his investigation uncovered something: all of these women had entered a shadowy place before their deaths.

After a pause, Mu Nujiao continued her story.

"That's why the Guard Division suspected it was caused by demons, and that's why they handed it over to our demon-hunting team. We've been investigating this matter recently, and I think that's probably why they've targeted me."

"Vampires are not common. They live on blood. Those women were probably killed by him. It seems he specifically targets beautiful women. After seeing you, he set his sights on you." Bai Mo nodded slightly and focused his gaze on the vampire in front of him.

This reminded him of the vampire Nie Dong from the original story, and he suspected that the one in front of him was the vampire Nie Dong.

"Shouldn't we kill it? It has harmed countless people."

Mu Nujiao was puzzled as to why Bai Mo had been keeping the vampire imprisoned without killing it. She then saw Bai Mo staring at the vampire's sharp fangs, and then she heard him speak.

"Vampire fangs are very valuable. Some master blacksmiths really like these guys' teeth, and they can usually sell for fifty or sixty million."

"That valuable?!" Mu Nujiao's expression hardened, somewhat surprised. "Then shouldn't we kill him even more?"

"No rush, vampires have families too."

"You mean," Mu Nujiao instantly understood, then frowned and said, "but this guy might not tell, right?"

"I'm not going to ask him. I'll take you to see someone, and you can find out whatever you want to know then. We'll split the vampire teeth we sold."

As Bai Mo spoke, thin silver threads wrapped around him and Mu Nujiao, and gradually, under Mu Nujiao's somewhat dazzled gaze, a magnificent constellation surrounded them.

With a flash of silver light, they appeared in front of a residential area. Without giving Mu Nujiao a chance to ask questions, Bai Mo took her hand and walked into the residential area.

"Where are you taking me?"

"The place where I live."

Mu Nujiao glanced at the man, tried to pull her hand away but couldn't break free, so she let him lead her.

She roughly knew where she was going and who she was going to see, but her expression was somewhat inscrutable.

The courtyard gate was not closed. Bai Mo pulled Mu Nujiao along and led the prisoners inside.

At the stone table, Ding Yumin, dressed in a beige trench coat over a white sweater, looked serene and gentle.

Bai Mo glanced at where her gaze was fixed, and subtly released his grip on Mu Nujiao's hand.

Then, introducing her to Mu Nujiao, he said, "Her name is Ding Yumin."

After saying that, he suddenly paused, feeling that his decision had been somewhat hasty, perhaps a side effect of the divine state.

After a long pause, he finally managed to say to Ding Yumin in a dry voice, "Her name is Mu Nujiao."

After saying that, he got stuck again. He suddenly wanted to go back in time and beat up his past self for his momentary lapse of judgment.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Ding Yumin chuckled and said to Mu Nujiao, "Hello, I'm his roommate. You can call me Yumin. Please sit down, Mu junior."

After saying that, she added, "You are so beautiful."

"Just call me Jiaojiao. Yumian, you are very beautiful too, a pleasure to look at." Mu Nujiao was not coy at all, and nodded readily. As she sat down, she subtly surveyed the environment of the courtyard.

Then, under Bai Mo's bewildered gaze, the two naturally began to chat.

"What is that thing?"

"The vampire tried to attack me, but Bai Mo caught him."

"Demons? Then why not kill them?"

Bai Mo said that vampire fangs are very valuable, and vampires have families.

"I understand." Ding Yumin immediately understood.

She got up and went to the imprisoned vampire. A powerful mental force surged like a tide, directly covering the vampire, but without disturbing Bai Mo and Mu Nujiao in the slightest.

The vampire's initially disdainful and slightly fearful gaze became numb and dull under the glow of the crystalline light of the soul.

A few minutes later, under the watchful eyes of Bai Mo and Mu Nujiao, the light slowly disappeared.

Ding Yumin looked away from the vampire and nodded slightly to Bai Mo. Bai Mo instantly understood, and with a wave of his hand, space suddenly closed, crushing the vampire into dust.

Bai Mo beckoned and placed a pair of perfectly intact fangs on the stone table.

The shattered flesh was burned to ashes by Ding Yumin.

After doing all that, Ding Yumin began to recount the information she had obtained from using her mental power to search for souls.

"His name is Nie Dong, and he is indeed a vampire who has harmed many girls. He seems to come from a place called the Northern Club, where there are many of his kind, about six or seven, and a group of their blood slaves. There seem to be even more powerful vampires there."

She paused briefly at this point.

"It should be a commander-level vampire. The Northern Club holds a vampire blood feast every Monday night, so this is a good time to make a move."

"So many?!" Mu Nujiao exclaimed in surprise. "If a vampire is already a warrior, their blood slaves must also have a servant level, plus that commander. The three of us... we'd better not take the risk."

After saying that, she glanced at the bloody tooth on the table, then at Bai Mo, and said, "I don't really need money right now."

Bai Mo shook his head, treating it as mere nonsense; what sorcerer doesn't need money?

He pondered for a moment. This matter still needed the involvement of the Tribunal. There would definitely be a battle with that Commander-level vampire, and some official members would be needed to evacuate the crowd.

"Get ready, I'll go find some help. We need the Tribunal's assistance with this matter."

After saying that, Bai Mo left the two girls to their own devices. He felt a bit awkward standing there anyway, so he left.

First, we arrived at Qingtian Hunting Grounds. The lobby was quite full of people, including Leng Qingling and Old Man Bao, and a man with a rather low profile was sitting in a booth drinking.

"What a rare guest! You haven't been here in ages, just like this guy."

When Lingling saw Bai Mo, she spoke in a sarcastic tone and pointed to the ordinary-looking man sitting in the booth.

The man then turned his gaze to Bai Mo. His gaze was extremely ordinary, lacking any sense of presence and posing no threat.

But Bai Mo dared not underestimate him in the slightest. Even the most ordinary person has some slightly noticeable traits, but Bai Mo did not find any in this person.

If he weren't sitting here, or if it were just a fleeting glimpse, most people would probably forget him as soon as they turn their heads, or even not notice him at all.

Leng Qing clearly sensed what he was thinking, and then introduced:

"His name is Dasheng. He's an old hand at the hunting lodge and a master at protecting people. Dasheng, he's the Bai Mo we just told you about."

Da Sheng nodded slightly, his voice coming out in an ordinary tone.

"Hello there."

"Hello." Bai Mo nodded slightly, sat down next to Lingling, and got straight to the point, "It's good that you're all here. I have something to say."

So Bai Mo told Leng Qing everything about the vampires, their fangs, and the Northern Club. After he finished speaking, he looked at Leng Qing.

"How is it, Qingqing? Can the Tribunal help?"

"Eliminating the demons in Shanghai has always been the duty of our Inquisition. Vampires are troublesome and secretive, so it would be great if we could eliminate some of them."

Leng Qing nodded and continued, "The judges of the Inquisition are rarely free. They are either infiltrating, investigating, or tracking. However, ordinary judges can handle tasks such as evacuating crowds and helping to eliminate blood slaves."

"I can help too."

"I'll take one, and I want a third of the harvest from the Commander-level vampires."

Da Sheng suddenly spoke up. He had run out of money and came to the hunting camp to see if there were any good missions. He didn't expect to find anything at the hunting camp, but he heard good news from this newcomer.

Lingling's eyes lit up upon hearing this. Leng Qing's talents mostly lay in personnel deployment and command. Although his cultivation was profound, his actual combat strength was only at an average level.

However, Da Sheng is very strong. With him and Bai Mo, dealing with a commander-level vampire is not a problem.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo also turned her gaze to him, somewhat unsure how to address him. But then Da Sheng said, "Just call me Da Sheng, like the others."

"Okay, then let's meet near the Northern Club next Monday when they hold their Blood Feast."
