Chapter 149 Sudden News

After settling the matter of the Earth-type Devouring Seed, I had dinner with Feng Zhoulong that evening and didn't rush back to Shanghai.

Bai Mo took out the Earth Element Flower he had harvested and asked Feng Zhoulong or his researchers to make it into a potion for cultivating summoned beasts.

At night, lying in his hotel bed, Bai Mo was assessing his current strength.

Firstly, the Space-type is the leader, practically invincible among its peers. Secondly, the Summoning-type already boasts a hundred warriors alone in its Beast Tide Summoning, not to mention others.

However, the strength of Wind Spirit and Divine Dust Tiger is not keeping up, and they are closely related to their wind and earth elements.

Therefore, it must be strengthened. Meanwhile, the sound system is still growing steadily. With its current capabilities, defeating the top student of the Pearl Inner Academy with the sound system is not a problem.

In short, my most pressing task right now is to help Little Wind Spirit and Divine Dust Tiger break through to the Commander level. Both little ones are growing at a fast pace, but with some resources, they can grow even faster.

This reminded him of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm he entered in Spring City when he was an exchange student. That secret realm was very beneficial to the growth of summoned beasts.

If we could bring Feng Ling and Shen Chen Hu to cultivate inside, along with some resources, it should be quite effective.

Thinking of this, Bai Mo opened Xinghuo.com, which he hadn't checked in a long time.

Open the store and search for "Hundred Flowers Secret Realm".

The cultivation effects in the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm are different from those in the Three Steps Tower, so it is relatively cheaper, requiring ten points per week.

He can't redeem his points in a week.

So Bai Mo turned his attention to the mission list, starting with the Heavenly Ranking and working his way up to the Earthly Ranking.

He was interested in a newly updated task on the Heavenly Ranking, which required the extermination of the giant lizard pseudo-dragon in the ruined city of Jinlin.

Bai Mo stroked his chin. This mission is a team mission, requiring four people, with a minimum cultivation level requirement of high rank.

This reminded him of Mo Fan's upcoming exchange student training program, which also involved investigating the distribution of demons in the Jinlin Ruins.

Is this an official plan to reinstate Jinlin City?!

Shaking his head, Bai Mo stopped overthinking; he didn't want to concern himself with so much. He reached out and clicked "accept." His strength had already been updated to high-level mage, so he had the authority to accept.

Successfully received, and then 3/4 is displayed.

It seems we still need to wait for all team members to gather. Bai Mo glanced at the reward description: 500 points per person. It's not split equally, that's good.

"Commander, you wanted to see me?"

A stern-faced man walked into the office and spoke to a middle-aged man with a square face who was sitting at his desk looking at documents.

The man raised his eyes, his calm gaze seemingly containing vast mountains and rivers, pressing down lightly on the person in front of him. He pushed the documents in his hand forward.

"Lu Nian, we support your research into the new department and have repeatedly stated that all research in the new department follows the principle of voluntariness. Is this really your voluntary decision?"

His tone was melodious and rhythmic, making one feel as if they were in the midst of a fierce battle. Lu Nian lowered his head, silently resisting this powerful aura, and managed to squeeze out a single sentence through gritted teeth.

"Commander, those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. As long as the New Clique succeeds, all of this is worthwhile!"

"Hmph! Harming colleagues, colluding with the dark, blocking juniors, and even interfering in the trial! Is this your so-called 'unconventional' behavior?"

The man let out a soft snort that seemed to freeze the air in the room. He glanced at Lu Nian, whom he had quite a high opinion of, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes.

"Your crimes are enough to strip you of your cultivation and send you to prison for five hundred years. But we'll consider your past merits."

At this point, the man tapped the table lightly, his imposing aura subsiding.

"We'll reduce your punishment, but you'll need to get rid of all your test subjects."

"What is a reduced punishment?" Lu Nian kept his head down, his eyes filled with only obsession and madness.

"He was stripped of his military post, relegated to the criminal army, and sent to the Kunlun front to garrison."

After waiting for two days in the city, Bai Mo, who had received the cultivation potion from the research institute, went downstairs for lunch.

Before I could even find the time to book a flight online, I suddenly received a call from Lingling.

"Bai Mo, are you still in Yaodu?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Bai Mo asked, noticing that Lingling's voice sounded a little anxious.

"I received a message from Xiaoping. My sister has been poisoned and is unconscious in Feiyun Town near the Demon Capital! The situation there is complicated. She's surrounded by demons, which means the healing sorcerers sent by the Judgment Council have no way to help her. You need to go and check on her quickly."

"Okay." Bai Mo's expression hardened, and he readily agreed, only to see his phone ringing again; it was Feng Zhoulong.

"Old Feng, what's up?"

"Bai Mo, you said the day before yesterday that you were a sound-based mage, right?"

Frowning slightly, Bai Mo replied while searching for information about Feiyun Town on his phone, "That's right."

"Here's the thing, I just received news that the Demon Capital Feiyun Town has been surrounded by a group of Hidden Wind Demon Insects for a day. The military has received the news and has begun to mobilize. We need manpower to go to Feiyun Town to deliver relief supplies."

"Do you need my help?" Bai Mo asked directly.

"Yes, the Hidden Wind Demon Insects possess certain sonic abilities. When they gather together, they can form a sonic field that interferes with a mage's spellcasting. We need sonic mages to counter this ability and assist the rescue team in entering Flying Cloud Town..."

"Okay, where is the rescue team?"

"There is a car parked below the mage tower; it has a white body and black license plates."

"I saw him."

Bai Mo was on the street below the Demon Capital Mage Tower. He glanced around and quickly found the car that Feng Zhoulong had described.

His figure flashed by, and the passersby only saw the handsome man who had been standing under the lintel of the noodle shop burst like a bubble. Then, a gentle breeze swept by, and there was no trace of him.

"Are you heading to Feiyun Town for rescue?"

A voice sounded from behind, startling Lin Junyan.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a handsome young man standing behind him.

"Yes, that's right."

Before he could finish speaking, Bai Mo interrupted, "Count me in, I'm a sound mage."

Bai Mo explained his identity and mentioned Feng Zhoulong's request before introducing the group of people in the car.

"These two are judges from the Demon Capital Tribunal, one with healing abilities and the other with spatial abilities."

Lin Junxian gestured to the two women sitting in the back of the car, and then pointed to the four other men, who were dressed smartly and had solemn expressions.

"These are military magistrates from the military headquarters, responsible for protecting us while we transport supplies. My name is Lin Junyan. Feiyun Town is mainly our family's business, so I'm quite familiar with the area. I'm going there to help with management and coordination."

"The Lin family? The one with the two major conglomerates?" Bai Mo raised an eyebrow and asked directly.

"Which Lin family is still in the Demon Capital?" Lin Junyan smiled without saying a word, but a judge behind him chuckled because he thought Bai Mo was good-looking.

Bai Mo glanced at her, but didn't sense any spatial magic. Then he glanced down and confirmed that she was a healing mage.

Leng Qing would need her help later, so Bai Mo nodded knowingly. "I'm new to the Demon Capital, and I didn't know that the famous Lin family was located here."

"What's your nickname for this handsome young man?"

"Bai Mo".

The female mage simply nodded, showing little reaction. Lin Junyan, who was sitting to the side, glanced at him upon hearing this.

Feiyun Town is not too far from the Demon Capital, and the driver's skills are superb, so they traveled at breakneck speed. Before long, the group arrived at the outskirts of Feiyun Town.

"Whoosh whoo ...

As they approached, a sound like a howling gale swept over the group, and within a few breaths, the faces of everyone inside the car turned grim.

A tidal wave of sound waves assaulted their minds, stirring up chaos in the nebula and galaxy. Healing mages, whose physical constitutions weren't very strong, even slumped against the car windows, their faces pale.

"Quick! Brother Bai Mo, use your sound magic to counter this demonic sound!"

Bai Mo nodded slightly, and the musical notes leaped and spread, turning the area around them into a silent domain.

A thin barrier of sound waves blocked everyone from entering, banishing the disturbing demonic sounds.

"Well done!" The leader of the military mages gave a thumbs up, and the others also looked at Bai Mo with admiration. It was the first time they had witnessed sound magic.

Only then did everyone turn their attention back to the front. Thick, swirling winds enveloped Feiyun Town, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.

All Bai Mo could see was the wind outside, but when he looked closely, he discovered that the wind was neither flowing nor blowing; it was actually countless densely packed flying insects dancing around.

Their wings are translucent, as are their bodies, except for their antennae, which are tinged with a blood-black color, as if they contain a deadly poison.

They gathered in large swarms, swirling and enveloping the town, appearing from afar as a swirling, raging wind.

The whooshing sound of the wind was the cacophony of their rapidly vibrating wings.

Countless of them, like boiling water, constantly crashed against the town protected by the barrier.

"How can there be so many Hidden Wind Demon Insects? Can we really make it into Flying Cloud Town while they're all surrounding us?!"

The healer's face was somewhat pale, whether from fright or from the disturbance caused by the demonic sound earlier, it was hard to tell.

The military mages leader also had a solemn look on his face. He was a high-ranking officer, but his three comrades were all mid-ranking officers. In order to ensure the completion of the mission, he looked at Lin Junyan.

"Mr. Lin, how far is it from here to Feiyun Town?"

"It should be about 500 meters." Lin Junyan surveyed the surrounding environment. Feiyun Town was built by his Lin family, and he had been here many times, so he was quite familiar with the surroundings.

The military mage leader's eyes flickered slightly. "The Hidden Wind Demon Insects are just servants. We are all defensive mages. Protecting you for five hundred meters under their attack will not be a problem."

After speaking, he looked at Bai Mo and asked, "May I ask Brother Bai's cultivation level?"

"Level 2 of the intermediate level in the sound system. Don't worry, it's enough to protect you. I won't joke with my own life."

"Okay, let's go."

When Bai Mo saw so many Hidden Wind Demon Insects, he felt a little anxious. These insects were not very strong in actual combat, but they were very poisonous.

If even a speck of the substance gets on a mage's body, that area of ​​skin will experience a pain as if it were being cut by a blade of wind, accompanied by the slow decay of the muscle.

Leng Qing is unconscious; he must have been poisoned quite a bit!

The military mage leader originally wanted Bai Mo to be in the middle, but Bai Mo said that he majored in the space system and was at a high level! So the middle position was given to the healing mage and Lin Junyan, who had no magical cultivation.

He and another judge, also a space-type judge, assisted the military mages who were responsible for the defense on both sides.

The Hidden Wind Demon Insects are highly sensitive to human presence. When their group was only about a hundred meters away, a swarm of Hidden Wind Demon Insects rushed towards them like a flowing stream.

The Hidden Wind Demon Insects are wind-attribute demons, so when they fly in, they look no different from a whirlwind; in fact, the whooshing vibrations only enhance their imposing presence.

The tentacles, coated with terrifying toxins, stretched out straight like poisonous needles; once pierced, one would likely lose all ability to resist instantly.

"Kuangyou - Guardian!"

A dazzling golden light emanated from the leader, a military mage, which formed a protective shield around everyone.

He released light magic very quickly; Bai Mo even felt that he was on par with him, clearly having immersed himself in the intermediate level for many years.

The surging swarm of Hidden Wind Demons crashed into the guardian formed by the Light's Blessing like wild bulls, their excessive speed even causing them to shatter against the shield.

Black blood flowed, and a strong corrosive force fell on the shield. A series of intense lights flashed, rapidly depleting the protective energy of the Light's Blessing!

Puff puff puff puff!!!

More Hidden Wind Demons crashed into the shield, seemingly fearless of death. Their black blood dimmed the shimmering shield, making it appear as if it would vanish in the next second!

The leading mage, his face grave, uttered a grave command: "Water!"

Instantly, two shimmering azure lights appeared, and silk-like streams of water flew out, surrounding the dim golden aura. Together, they resisted the invasion of the Hidden Wind Demon Insects and washed away all the black blood covering the aura.

However, the water defense was ultimately too weak, and another wave of fearless charges shattered the azure water ribbons into splashing water droplets.

Puff puff puff!!!

A more intense series of impacts rang out as the group was completely surrounded by Hidden Wind Demon Insects. Countless flying insects, brandishing their black venomous needles, relentlessly crashed into the dim, protective light.

Bai Mo's fingers moved incessantly, creating threads of air that formed crisp music that acted as barriers to block out the jarring, demonic sounds.

Seeing that the Light Mage's protection was about to shatter, he remained incredibly calm, as did the rest of the team.

One after another, silver drawings flew out from the space-type judge and quickly formed a silver star throne.

The throne shone with a dazzling diamond brilliance, instantly surrounding the group. As a burst of silver light appeared, the protective shield shattered with a deafening roar.

The brilliant starlight scattered, drawing the group into the spatial gate, leaving the Hidden Wind Demons empty-handed.

With a flash of light, Bai Mo and his group appeared dozens of meters away.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"

Hidden Wind Demon Insects were everywhere. As soon as Bai Mo and his group appeared, a swarm of insects rushed towards them. Fortunately, the military mages in the group were very skilled at casting spells, and Bai Mo's sound barrier kept them covered.

In an instant, brilliant golden light surged up again, and a dazzling light pattern shone on a military mage on the other side, gathering countless rays of light and transforming into a protective shield that once again enveloped the group.

"No, the interference from the sound waves is too strong; teleportation will be severely hampered."

The space mage who had just teleported everyone away from their original spot frowned, his expression turning somewhat grim.

This was their second plan, and he was also the one carrying supplies. It seems that teleportation is not very effective within the range of these Hidden Wind Demons.

Bai Mo glanced at the space mage; her spiritual realm was not high, which was the main reason.

The strategist leading the group, however, showed no expression. "Let's keep going. We still have plenty of mana."

"I can take turns using teleportation with her," Bai Mo suggested, wanting to move faster.

The team leader mage pondered for a moment before finally making a decision, "Alright, you just need to prepare high-level spells; our casting speed can keep up."

"it is good."

For a moment, the group watched as Bai Mo followed them forward, releasing sound waves to protect their minds while countless bright silver stars shone.

Transformed into diamond-like threads, they outlined and intertwined to create a mysterious and beautiful picture, overlapping and contrasting with each other. Before the group could take ten steps, a magnificent and enormous silver constellation summoned a huge spatial portal.

A flash of silver light!

The diamond-like throne disintegrated into a shower of shimmering dust, carrying everyone away from their original location, traversing space, and placing them in an area a hundred meters away.

The four military mages cooperated very well; they all possessed the cultivation level of the middle stage, level three, of the light element.

As soon as they landed, another person was illuminated by a golden glow!

The light spread, transforming into a shield that surrounded everyone.

"A hundred meters! Just how high is your mental fortitude?!"

The trial of the space system elicited gasps of alarm.

"Not high, level four," Bai Mo replied casually. "Let's go."

So Bai Mo led the group through three more teleportations, eventually arriving outside the Flying Cloud Town's security zone, which was protected by a barrier.

"We're here to deliver supplies, please open the barrier!"

The leading military mage signaled to the military mage guarding the intersection, who saluted and immediately jogged off to find his superior.

Before long, a military mages dressed in officer's uniform approached, opened a small opening in the barrier, and the group filed in.

The moment Bai Mo stepped into Feiyun Town, he keenly sensed that something was wrong!

It's so rich!

The wind element here is so strong!

He turned his gaze to Lin Junyan, then glanced at the military mage leader, and asked with a puzzled look:

"Why is the wind element so strong here?"

"It's no secret." Lin Junyan sighed, looking at the Hidden Wind Demon Insects outside the Security Zone with worry in his eyes, as he explained.

"The Lin family and the officials of Feiyun Town discovered a high-level wind element source in Feiyun Mountain, and planned to build a small wind-attribute cultivation sanctuary here to accelerate the cultivation speed of wind mages below the high level. These demons were attracted by the aura of this sanctuary under construction."

"I see. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer." Bai Mo nodded, ignoring Lin Junyan who was still confused, and looked at the two people in the courtroom.

"You're here to rescue Leng Qing, right?"

How did you know?

"Me too."

As Bai Mo spoke, he asked Lin Junyan for a place name and direction, and a bluish-white whirlwind swirled around him, with trails of wind stretching out.

"I'll take you there!"

Then the three figures flickered and disappeared from the spot.

At the clinic, a strong wind swept through, and Bai Mo appeared with two female judges.

They quickly found Leng Qing, who was in a clean hospital room with her eyes closed and her brows furrowed.

His face was pale, and one arm was exposed, covered with black spots, some of which had corroded most of the flesh. The blood was protected by a layer of energy and did not flow out. The severely corroded arm revealed the bones.

Seeing this, the healer judge's expression turned serious, and his voice rang out softly.

"She fainted from the pain of the demonic insect's venom! How could she be so badly injured? The Hidden Wind Demonic Insect shouldn't be able to hurt her."

As she spoke, a healing light emanated from her body, and gradually, these lights intertwined to form a magnificent and dazzling vase.

"Aquarius Starlight!"

As the holy light shone down, the blood poison that had been wrapped around Leng Qing's arm gradually subsided, and the festering muscles on her arm slowly began to grow back.

The poison was very potent; one Aquarius Starburst was not enough to fully heal Leng Qing's injuries, so the Healing Judge released another Aquarius Starburst.

Bai Mo watched as Leng Qing's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and his previously clenched heart slowly eased.

He didn't know how painful the poison of the Hidden Wind Demon Worm was when it touched his skin; he had no personal experience of it. Relying solely on the written descriptions in the demon book was ultimately inadequate.

But the pain was so intense that even the resolute Leng Qing fainted; it was clearly no ordinary pain.

Only then did he prepare to ask about Xiao Ping and Leng Qing's injuries and poisoning.

Xiao Ping was Leng Qing's assistant after he was promoted to deputy presiding judge. She had always been by Leng Qing's side, so she must have known about these things.

The Healing Judge asked her about it earlier, but she didn't say for some reason; perhaps she was too excited to see them.

"Xiao Ping, how did Leng Qing get injured and poisoned?"

Xiao Ping remained silent.

She glanced at the two judges who had come to rescue Leng Qing, then looked at the four walls. Her round face was expressionless, but her hesitant eyes clearly showed what she wanted to say.

"Wow! I just saved her, and I can't even listen? Momo, what do you say?"

The healing-type female judge was surprised and grabbed the hand of the space-type judge next to her, trying to get her to agree with her point of view.

"Xiaoyun, let's go outside."

The healing mage named Xiaoyun wanted to say something more, but after silently glaring at her, Xiaoyun obediently said:

"Oh~"

Watching the two leave, Xiao Ping still didn't seem inclined to say anything, only glancing at Leng Qing's ears.

Bai Mo understood, snapped his fingers, and instantly all the sounds in the room died down.

Only Bai Mo's voice rang in Xiao Ping's ears.

"You can speak now. I've created a silent zone; you can speak, but only I can hear you."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ping nodded and finally opened her mouth.

"The judge has been investigating the matter of Bo City. Although Bo City did not suffer too many casualties because of the judge and you, it could be a disaster that wipes out the city if we are not careful."

Therefore, although the events in Bo City are in the past, the presiding judge has never forgotten Bo City's conspiracy.

"Some time ago, the presiding judge arrested a woman in blue from the Black Vatican, intending to infiltrate Salang's ranks under her identity. However, she was ambushed and killed while negotiating with another contact of the Black Vatican at Feiyun Mountain."

"A trap?" Bai Mo asked.

"Yes!" Xiao Ping nodded emphatically. "This is all a trick by the Black Vatican to trap us like turtles in a jar. The chief judge has the Black Vatican's kill list on high alert, and several blue-robed deacons of the Black Vatican have joined forces to set up this murder trap."

After saying that, Xiao Ping looked up at him.

"You should also be careful; you're on the kill list too."
