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

Chapter 225 The Guide

Zu Jiming then turned his gaze to Zhou Xu and Guan Yu, but the two pretended not to see him and did not participate in Bai Mo's idea of ​​dividing the team.

Guan Yu was even more disdainful. He had known Zu Jiming's capabilities for years. Even if it were the National Championship, with Bai Mo and Ai Jiangtu present, this man wouldn't even have a chance to play.

Moreover, just hearing about this makes one want to investigate it thoroughly, and it's clearly something the supervisor arranged.

This clearly affects their Nationalist team's performance rating and resource allocation. This performance report was submitted by the team leader; even a pig-brain would know it needs to be done well.

I really don't understand why Zu Jiming was in such a hurry to go to Japan. In just over a year, when he learned of Bai Mo's strength, he knew that the National Government's seal was already in his grasp.

"There's no need for such words, Bai Mo. I, Jiang Yu, am determined to handle this matter!"

"Jiang Yu is right. Only a heartless person would be indifferent to such a thing," Jiang Shaoxu said with a gloomy face.

"Please make arrangements as needed. If I can handle it, I will do my best." Mu Tingying put down the documents in her hand.

Her thoughts were roughly the same as Guan Yu's, but she was more concerned with surpassing Mu Ningxue and proving herself, and this was exactly what she wanted.

Seeing that no one had any intention of ignoring it, Bai Mo nodded slightly. He didn't care about what these people really thought.

What he wanted was to leverage the power of these people. Since he was determined to investigate, he couldn't let it end like the original story, which started strong but ended weakly.

"Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, Zhou Xu, Mu Ning, Xue Mu Nu, Jiao Nan, Rong Ni, Ai Jiang, Tu Li, Kai Feng, Guan Yu, you will form the third team and investigate the warehouse problem as soon as possible."

As Bai Mo spoke, he looked at Jiang Yu, Mu Tingying, and Jiang Shaoxu, "You two should investigate the Feibiao City authorities to find out who is covering up this. But be careful what you do."

Seeing that everyone nodded, Bai Mo then looked at Nan Jue.

"You and I will split up and wander around the city to see if any children have gone missing recently."

"Okay!" Nan Jue's eyes lit up and he nodded.

Bai Mo's gaze swept over everyone before finally saying to Zu Jiming, "You should follow Ai Jiangtu."

Zu Jiming shrugged and followed Ai Jiangtu with a disdainful and indifferent expression.

"Old Ai, keep an eye on him."

Bai Mo's voice rang quietly in his ear. Ai Jiangtu didn't seem to be receiving this kind of audio transmission for the first time, and he didn't react at all.

He glanced at Zu Jiming only once, then acted as if he hadn't heard anything and headed off in different directions for Mo Fan and the other two teams.

"I'm going south." Nan Jue said as she walked out of the hotel, then strolled away.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo headed north.

Just then, Zhou Tianyuan and the other person mentioned that they lived in the north, and Bai Mo wanted to know if they had any information about the Green Ornament Guild.

The city was noisy, so Bai Mo limited his hearing range to a radius of eight kilometers.

Various sounds came in one after another, gathered in the mind, and were quickly analyzed and processed. Finding the sounds related to the abduction of the baby among so many sounds was a delicate task.

Fortunately, Asuka City is currently just a city similar to Bo City, so it won't take too long to explore the entire North City.

The beautiful and luxurious manor stands arrogantly in the woods, and through the windows, one can see the dilapidated city beyond the golden beach.

"Guild Master, Blackhorn is dead. We found his body outside the city."

A man wearing a black hat walked into the room with small steps, not daring to glance at the white expanse on the bed, and stopped three meters away from the window with his head down.

Sunlight filtered through, illuminating a well-dressed, handsome face. His features, a blend of Eastern and Western masculine traits, were quite striking.

"He's dead. What about the person he killed?"

"They weren't killed. It seems a passing expert rescued them. Those two are now in Asuka City inquiring about our guild," the man who came in to report said.

"Lin Junxian somehow found a team of mages and wiped out the group of Crimson Demons."

"It seems he's gained favor with the Lin family. Too bad, Asuka City belongs to me." A playful smile appeared on the chairman's face.

"That's just a Crimson Demon; there will be more in a few years. Go take that useless thing from the bed and give it to my darling. Also, don't let the flies bother me!"

"yes!"

The man lowered his head further, silently approached the bedside, reached out and grasped the lifeless girl's leg, skillfully lifting her up as if she were trash. He then lifted the girl, who was slightly taller than a large suitcase, and silently left the room.

They easily reached the pool behind the manor and fed it to the crimson figure inside.

With the moon high in the sky, Bai Mo and Zhou Tianyuan searched for a long time before finally finding a barbecue restaurant that was open late at night. They ate and chatted.

"I've been asking around these past few days and have learned about the general situation of the Greenstone Guild. I really need your help with this matter," Zhou Tianyuan said.

"Tell me about it?"

"This Greenstone Guild seems to have some connection with the Bad Wolf Guild. They initially tried to cause trouble in our southern city but were disbanded by the authorities. Unexpectedly, they have reorganized in this Bird City."

"What is their strength? How did they reorganize?"

"I heard there are three high-level cultivators, and the guild leader has been a fully-fledged high-level cultivator for many years, making him exceptionally powerful. Even the Asuka City Magic Association can't do anything about him. In addition, they live in the South China Sea, making them difficult to find, which is why they were allowed to stay. As for how they were reorganized, I don't know."

Bai Mo glanced at the squid slices in his hand. "Three high-level ones. That's nothing to the East Sea Magic Association, right?"

"I don't know. I heard that the East Sea Magic Association searched for a while, but then gave up." Zhou Tianyuan shook his head. "They probably thought those guys were no threat in the South Sea, where there are many sea monsters."

"Anything else, like where their stronghold is?"

"I don't know about that. We've asked around for a long time, and that's all the information we have."

Bai Mo nodded slightly. Their investigation over the past two days was almost complete. Mo Fan and the others had found a place suspected of storing infants.

Jiang Yu also learned that the person in Feibiao City was acting as a protector, but fortunately they didn't directly investigate that person, so they went unnoticed.

But that bureaucrat was not a sorcerer, and clearly did not need the mind of a child; he was a tool, a tool to protect those who were actually carrying out the plan.

However, to find out who is manipulating things behind the scenes, they need to find another way to expose the person in charge.

Therefore, Bai Mo promptly brought up Zhou Tianyuan's lead, and everyone believed that the Green Stone Guild was likely the executor.

Mo Fan and his group are currently lying in ambush near the warehouse, hoping to catch someone. Nan Jue is still wandering around the city, while Ai Jiangtu and the others hope to get further information about the Green Stone Guild from Zhou Tianyuan.

They could just charge straight in and find out everything, since it was all about suppressing bandits anyway.

That's why Bai Mo came out to have a late-night snack with Zhou Tianyuan.

Seeing that Zhou Tianyuan couldn't find anything out either, and that they had all been stripped of their identities, they had even less access to information about the Green Stone Guild.

"Hiss~~~~~~" Nan Jue's voice came through the communication headset, "Bai Mo, I met the friend you saved that day. She is seriously injured. Mu Nujiao and I can't hold on for long. Come quickly."

"Understood." Bai Mo immediately stood up, and a pair of wind wings grew from his back almost in the blink of an eye. He threw Zhou Tianyuan's wallet on the table, picked him up, and flew towards Nan Jue's location.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!"

A strong wind swept by, and Bai Mo explained the situation to Zhou Tianyuan on the way. Before long, Bai Mo arrived at where Nan Jue and the others were.

This is the outskirts of the city. It seems that Nan Jue was worried that the fighting would affect the civilians, so he did not flee into the city.

A man in a black hat stood on the ground, flames burning in his hands, firmly blocking the way for three slender women of different colors.

"Hand over that woman. As for you, serve me well and you might have a chance to live."

The man in the black hat had a sinister expression, his eyes greedily scanning Nan Jue and Mu Nujiao. Suddenly, flames ignited in his fist, which he then hurled at the three of them.

Nan Jue bandaged Mei Qian's wounds, her face pale. She had exhausted her vocal abilities on the way to distract this man, and now she could only rely on Mu Nujiao.

Mei Qian was in an even worse state; half of her shoulder was blown off, and her body was charred beyond recognition. If Nan Jue hadn't discovered her in time, she would have been dead long ago.

"Mei Qian! How could this be! She's from the Green Stone Guild!" Zhou Tianyuan was momentarily flustered, not understanding what was going on. But when he saw the special green decoration on the black-hatted man's hat, he suddenly realized what was happening.

"They wanted to kill us to silence us!"

"Don't worry, they can't kill any of them," Bai Mo said, his wings flashing as he landed in front of the three women.

At this moment, facing the oncoming fierce fist, Mu Nujiao simply raised her hands, and suddenly a patch of silver-green vines grew in front of the three of them, instantly weaving together to form a huge vine wall that blocked the blazing fist.

"A mere plant-based thing, and you can do that?" The man scoffed, but his words trailed off as his flames failed to ignite a single vine, only managing to shatter some of them with the explosion.

"Fine, fine, I'll let you block it!"

As the man spoke, magnificent lines of fire rapidly intertwined around him, and Bai Mo landed in front of them at that moment.

"Are you alright?"

"Her condition is not very good." Nan Jue pointed to Mei Qian.

"Leave this to me. You take her to get treatment first. I think our investigation will be over soon."

"What do you mean?" Mu Nujiao asked, puzzled.

"That belongs to the Greenstone Guild."

"Okay, be careful," Mu Nujiao said, and the four of them left for the hospital.

"None of you are leaving!"

With a loud shout, the man in the black hat was engulfed in flames, sending a ring of fire soaring into the sky and illuminating the countryside.

"Heavenly Flame Funeral - Thousand-Petaled Flame Flower!"

The billowing, crimson clouds covered more than two hundred meters as the man finished speaking.

"High-ranking!" Bai Mo's eyes were strange. It seemed that the Green Stone Guild was indeed insignificant, requiring one of its three high-ranking members to kill someone.

Fiery red petals, burning hot, began to fall from the sky, densely covering everyone in an instant.

Mu Nujiao's expression remained unchanged, and her speed did not decrease; she believed that Bai Mo had a solution.

"Wind Vortex Shield!"

With a clear shout, Bai Mo instantly surrounded himself with two kinds of soul winds, and the wind elements within a radius of several kilometers converged on him.

The wind wings on its back detached instantly, connecting together and spinning as it flew into the air, like a bamboo dragonfly, spinning more and more violently, emitting the sound of a helicopter propeller.

In mid-air, a flat, bluish-white vortex of wind appeared. Initially, it only covered thirty meters, but it continued to expand as the wind elements gathered. The thousand-petaled flames had only fallen for a dozen meters when the vortex had expanded to a hundred meters. When the flames fell, the vortex of wind also covered the area of ​​more than two hundred meters.

Petals of fiery molten lava fell upon the rapidly spinning vortex of wind, just as petals fell upon a rapidly rotating vortex of water, or drops of ink fell upon white paper.

The petals dissipated in the wind, and the flames spread out in the wind, turning the entire bluish-white vortex into a vortex of wind and fire.

Not a single petal of the thousand-petaled firework in the sky landed on Bai Mo or Mu Nujiao and the others who were running away.

"Kid, you think you can stop me?!" the man in the black hat sneered.

Indeed, Bai Mo's Wind Wings had been used for some time, and the temporary hundred-meter wind vortex was ultimately not as durable or powerful as a true high-level magic.

Within moments, the vortex of wind could no longer withstand the impact of countless flames and exploded, sending up a strong gust of scorching wind.

"Don't misunderstand, I was just shielding them," Bai Mo said softly.

"Hmph! Then I'll burn you first, and then deal with those guys. Those two pretty girls are yours? Don't worry, I'll treat them well, leaving you with your eyes to watch us have our fun! Hahahaha!!" The man sneered like a night owl.

"You should be glad you have an identity," Bai Mo said in a low voice, glancing at the man with eyes as cold as the dead of winter.

"Robbing the Wind Dragon of Xun!"

A wind image flashed, and a gale surged. Just as the man was about to mock him for daring to try to block his Thousand-Petal Flame Flower with a mid-level spell, a two-hundred-meter-tall wind dragon suddenly materialized.

His face was being lashed by the wind and waves, and if he hadn't cultivated earth magic, he would have been caught off guard and swept into the massive hurricane, leaving no trace of his body.

His prized thousand-petaled flames were like a light drizzle before this bluish-white wind dragon, instantly shattered, not a single spark able to harm the one who summoned the colossal hurricane.

"What kind of magic is this?!"

The man shouted in disbelief, "Even if I've used up most of my magic, how could I possibly be shattered by a mid-level spell?!"

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to the other party for the time being, and that his target had been taken away, the man dared not stay in the city any longer, lest he be recognized and become a bounty hunter. So he immediately made a hasty retreat.

Suddenly, rock armor appeared on his body. Thinking that Bai Mo was hidden by the hurricane, he fled.

Bai Mo looked at the spatial compass in his hand, where a small dot was rapidly moving away. He snorted softly, dispersed the wind compass, and chased after Mu Nujiao.

Although Mei Qian's injuries were severe, she could still be saved by a healing mage.

After resting for a night, Bai Mo summoned the members of the National Government and took out the spatial compass.

"Last night I ran into a member of the Greenstone Guild by chance and left a compass mark on him. Today I plan to storm their lair. What do you think?"

"How strong is the Green Stone Guild?" Ai Jiangtu asked.

"It is said that there were three high-level cultivators. I killed one, and I chased the one away last night. There is also a high-level cultivator who has reached the maximum level of cultivation," Bai Mo said.

"I can handle one of the two high-level cultivators." Ai Jiangtu glanced at Bai Mo. "You can't beat a high-level cultivator with full cultivation, can you? What if he escapes? We'll have worked for nothing."

"Evidence isn't necessarily in people's minds. When the Green Stone Guild works for others, they always leave some kind of handle on them." Bai Mo didn't say he could beat them; seeing is believing.

"We've been here for a few days now. We made it clear beforehand that if we don't achieve anything after this operation, I won't help anymore," Mu Tingying said.

"That's what we think too," Guan Yu and Li Kaifeng said at the same time.
