Full-Time Magister: I Had No Intention of Reaching the Dimensional Throne
Chapter 221 Greenstone Guild, Tragic News of an Old Friend
Chapter 221 Greenstone Guild, Tragic News of an Old Friend
Bai Mo didn't know whether Ai Jiangtu had been informed of this by Feng Li in the original timeline.
The matter in Asuka City is too complicated for him to understand. He doesn't know the extent of Feng Li's suggestion to investigate thoroughly.
Following Nan Jue's lead, the group found the fishing village.
Passing through the small, seemingly useless grass fence, one can see at a glance a dozen or so bungalows built with a mixture of wood, stone, and vegetation.
There were very few people in the village. A few children squatted at the door playing in the mud, blinking at them. When they got closer, they slipped back into the house.
"It's you again! Don't think we're easy to bully just because we're poor and uneducated. Let me tell you, this old man isn't someone to be trifled with!" An old man in wooden clogs, his skin dark, rushed out, carrying the large oar he usually used for rowing.
Encouraged by the old man, seven or eight more young men came out with their weapons.
They started off with great enthusiasm, but once they saw the beautiful girls in the group whom they had never seen before, they fell silent, their eyes and hearts soaring to the clouds.
"Why are you heartless real estate agents here again? We are not moving!" Seeing that he didn't have enough people and that the younger generation had lost their spirit, the old man shouted again to bolster his morale.
"We're not real estate developers," Jiang Shaoxu said with a smile, explaining for a while before the old man believed they were just ordinary bored men and women who came to the countryside for a day trip, not real estate developers.
After learning where they were, they set off along the rocky terrain toward the port of Asuka City.
"Wait!" Nan Jue suddenly called out to the group who were leisurely walking. Her narrow eyes swept over them and landed on Bai Mo.
"I heard some unusual noises, like large demons running around and the sounds of mages fighting. Also, people from that fishing village are chasing after us."
"Perhaps there are mages hunting demons nearby. Let's not meddle in their business. Let's find a port as soon as possible and figure out a way to get to Fusang."
Mu Tingying looked ahead calmly, seemingly unconcerned about the unusual thing Nan Jue said.
"Yeah, what's so strange about finding one or two demons and sorcerers in the wild like this?"
Zu Jiming was equally indifferent; he only wanted to complete the task assigned by his mentor. The life or death of one or two demons or mages was nothing compared to his mission to the national government!
"No, those two mages seem to be calling for help." Nan Jue shook his head, glanced behind him, and saw a black dot rushing towards them. It was the skinny boy they had seen in the fishing village earlier.
"Let me hear, maybe it's a monk from Asuka City. If he can offer us some help, that might be possible."
Bai Mo signaled everyone to stay put, and then a sound string was emitted to detect everything within a range of ten thousand meters.
Thump, thump, thump—a series of heavy thuds echoed as something whistled through the air. It seemed to be a rather large demon, but wait! Not far behind the demon, a person was pacing lightly, almost inaudibly—it was a summoned beast!
The two people being chased eastward by the man and the beast were two individuals.
"Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!" A magical sound entered his ears, and Bai Mo felt that it sounded somewhat familiar. He filtered out the sound of the magical explosion and listened carefully.
"Qianqian, don't fight him. Asuka City is just ahead. You go first, I'll hold him off for a bit!"
However, the next voice immediately made him realize why the voices were so familiar. It was Zhou Tianyuan and Mei Qian!
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, the group hadn't lost contact.
Therefore, Bai Mo still remembered, but how did they end up here? It seemed they had encountered danger.
It seemed that something had changed that he was unaware of.
"Two of my acquaintances are over there. They're in danger. I'm going to rescue them. You all wait here and see what those people from the fishing village behind us want."
Bai Mo immediately made arrangements, then glanced at the seemingly reluctant Mu Tingying, Li Kaifeng, and Zu Jiming, and said again:
"Old Ai, if you can't wait, you take them and I'll be there soon."
As he spoke, everyone saw thousands of white streams of air emerge from behind him, and then a pair of enormous wind wings condensed. Everyone felt a gust of wind sweep by, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back. Bai Mo had already soared into the sky and headed northeast.
"High-level wind element!" Mu Ningxue's eyes narrowed. As a wind element mage herself, she could clearly sense Bai Mo's powerful wind element.
"He can fight Old Ai, so he must be a high-level spatial cultivator. I've also seen him summon a beast tide."
Zhao Manyan watched Bai Mo fly away and said enviously.
"High-level in three systems?!" Guan Yu's eyes widened. "More than a year ago, when our Imperial Capital Academy team fought him, he wasn't that much stronger than us."
"What kind of monster is this!" Li Kaifeng was also somewhat incredulous, as he was only a mid-level cultivator at the time.
Jiang Yu said quietly, "His talent is Returning to Origin. Since his wind element is already at a high level, his summoned beast should be a commander."
"Holy crap! This freak, I feel like even if we all joined forces, we couldn't beat him." Zhao Manyan shouted again.
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces darkened, and Mo Fan was even more unconvinced, "Get lost! If you're so weak, don't drag others down with you. I'm pretty strong too."
However, Nan Jue's next sentence made everyone fall into deep thought.
"I've seen him perform the Soul-Teasing Melody; his musical abilities are also at a high level."
"A high-level fourth-tier cultivator, no wonder the instructors are willing to wait for him. If I had that kind of strength, I could make the instructors wait for half a day."
Jiang Shaoxu clicked her tongue and glanced at Mu Tingying and Li Kaifeng.
"Let's wait here for now." Ai Jiangtu's face was expressionless, but his gaze fell on the skinny boy who had come up in front of them.
The wind howled, and in an instant, a thousand meters were covered.
On this flat stretch of beach, everything is clearly visible from a higher vantage point.
Zhou Tianyuan and Mei Qian do not possess teleportation magic; the only teleportation tools they can use are magic implements.
However, the time limit for wearing the magical artifacts is limited, so it cannot support the two of them running for very long.
Not to mention getting rid of the terrifying demon behind them, and the man in black behind that demon.
The only reason they've survived until now is because that demon and that man are enjoying the cat-and-mouse game.
Mei Qian wanted to give up more than once and fight the guys behind her, but Zhou Tianyuan stopped her each time.
They had to seize every opportunity to survive, and they also needed to spread the word.
Only if they get close enough to a city to spread the news will their deaths not have been in vain.
It was precisely this brief moment that gave Bai Mo the opportunity to come to Bai Mo's aid.
"Wind Whale Tail!"
Before the person even arrived, the solemn magical sounds already resounded down. Meeting an old friend in a foreign land should have been a joyous occasion, but seeing his former friend seriously injured made Bai Mo unable to feel happy at all.
In an instant, a massive tail of a wind whale materialized, its enormous tail fin resembling the wings of a roc, as if a vast expanse of dark clouds were obscuring the sun. Connecting to a stern as thick as a cruise ship, it crashed down upon the hunters who were leisurely strolling and unhurriedly following the two.
"boom!!!!"
The sudden appearance of the wind whale's tail gave the filth hunter no time to react. A huge crater appeared in the ground, as if struck by a meteorite. The filth hunter was also smashed by the giant tail in this massive blow, and was torn apart by countless gusts of wind, mixed in with the waves of earth that were hit and shot in all directions.
"Bai Mo!" Upon hearing the familiar voice, Zhou Tianyuan immediately pulled Mei Qian to a stop and turned around, just in time to see a familiar figure with a pair of wind wings gathered behind him.
Mei Qian turned around as well, her face showing joy, which then turned into resentment. She stared intently at the man in black who appeared before everyone with a sharp expression.
"Kill him quickly! They've harmed Lin Dongjun and Zhang Yuan!"
"Hehehe~~~! Kid, since you're a high-level mage, serve me as my servant for three years, then become my filth hunter, train it to obey you, and kill those two who disturbed my fun. Then I might consider sparing your life!"
Before Bai Mo could speak, the cold and stern man chuckled, staring at Bai Mo with indifferent eyes, and said arrogantly.
"You think you can take me?" Bai Mo looked down at him. There were so many lunatics these days. But what he needed to figure out more was whether this guy was just a brainless thug or had someone backing him up.
What did Mei Qian mean by what she just said?
"Hmph! Offending the Greenstone Guild will bring you and your family no good. We'll sell the men to demons; those filthy hunters love you. As for the women, I'll send them to the poorest countries in Africa to be the lowest, most despicable prostitutes!"
The black-clad man's eyes flashed with malice, showing no regard for Bai Mo's high-level cultivation.
"Greenstone Guild? What trash, never heard of it." Bai Mo's expression was icy. "However, you'll learn what it means to have trouble with your words."
As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind swirled, and a white dragon's head materialized, hurtling towards the man in black.
"So you're just an ignorant fool. I'll show you the consequences of offending the Greenstone Guild. As for such petty tricks, don't bother showing them off!"
"Wail among my poisonous bats!"
As the man in black spoke, a moonlit constellation appeared behind him. Immediately afterwards, a group of bats the size of fighter jets, with dark green wings, sword-like fangs, and filthy claws, rushed out.
In an instant, a dark green gas spread out, like a thick, heavy cloud unfurling in the sky, crushing towards Bai Mo. As for the roaring wind dragon that crashed head-on, it was directly smashed apart by this dark green cloud.
Bai Mo's eyes narrowed. Being able to summon a group of poisonous demonic bats with strength comparable to a great general, it seemed that this was not a novice who had just entered the high-level of the summoning system.
However, those fifty-odd venomous demonic bats were no match for him. In an instant, the Wind Spirit possessed him, and a bluish-white wind aura covered his entire body, imprinting a wind image onto the ground with a thought.
"Robbing the Wind Dragon of Xun!"
Suddenly, Zhou Tianyuan felt that even breathing became difficult, and a powerful suction force kept coming from afar, with sand and dust filling the sky.
Then a colossal hurricane tornado shot into the sky, its area covering two hundred meters. It resembled a giant, bluish-white dragon taking flight, its imposing body, entirely composed of bluish-white hurricane, exuding a violent aura, as it crashed into the thick, dark green bat-like clouds in the sky.
In the blink of an eye, the once arrogant and ferocious swarm of dark green bats was shattered by the hurricane dragon. Compared to the enormous wind dragon, these bats were nothing more than fine dust, no different from the wild grass and dust swept around by the hurricane.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!"
The relentless gale and powerful tearing force gave not a single venomous demonic bat a chance to escape. The thick wind wall was a giant cutting machine; no matter how large the bats were, they would be quickly cut and torn apart into fine powder within the thick wind wall composed entirely of wind blades.
"Has he become this powerful already?" Zhou Tianyuan was incredulous upon seeing this.
He naturally believed that Bai Mo could defeat the man in black, but to his surprise, Bai Mo's battle ended too quickly!
That was a summoning of a beast tide! More than fifty general-level poison bats were killed just like that, without even a single high-level spell being used.
They didn't even use Bai Mo's most proficient spatial magic!
"This...this is impossible!" The man in black was also incredulous. His prized Poisonous Bat hadn't even used a single high-level spell from the other party.
What exactly is that enormous, illogical wind conduit? How can anyone's wind conduit have such a large range and such immense power? Even a whole squad of wind mages combined couldn't match it!
With the blessing of two kinds of soul winds and a level five wind disc, Bai Mo's power was naturally unparalleled. How could an ordinary person know that he had two kinds of soul winds?
It's understandable that people find it unbelievable, but Bai Mo won't explain that much for him.
"If this is how you are, you might as well die."
With a sharp look in his eyes, a bluish-white python tail suddenly materialized, thicker than a water bucket, and slammed down heavily onto the man in black.
A deep blue water shield instantly appeared in front of the man in black, but it only held for a moment before being shattered by the wind python. Its thick tail lashed out, jolting the man in black into a sharp angle, and he flipped rapidly to land on the ground dozens of meters away.
Having failed to kill him with one strike, Bai Mo delivered another wind blade, severing the man's head before landing beside Zhou Tianyuan and the other two.
He frowned when he saw the two men's tattered clothes and some dripping wounds, which were caused by the attacks of the Dirty Hunters.
"I have some healing medicine here."
"Thanks to you this time. By the way, didn't you join the National Team?" Zhou Tianyuan simply took the money, gave half to Mei Qian, and then looked her up and down.
"We're just passing by, don't talk nonsense." Bai Mo thought for a moment, then his wind wings opened again, carrying the two of them into the air. "I'll take you to get treatment, and while you're at it, tell me what happened to you, and who else harmed Lin Dongjun and Zhang Yuan."
Zhang Yuan was no stranger to him; he was his former roommate and a friend with considerable talent in white magic.
As for Lin Dongjun, Bai Mo thought for a while before remembering that she was his high school classmate. A girl with rather strong opinions.
How did Lin Dongjun and Zhang Yuan get involved? How were they murdered? Why did Zhou Tianyuan and Mei Qian come to Feibiao City for this reason? These are all questions that need to be answered.
