The group followed Bai Mo to the man with the yin-yang face. There were hardly any Green Stone Guild members left on the island, so this guy was clearly the most important. Seeing that he was willing to speak, Bai Mo said:

"Tell me everything you know about the missing children in Asuka City and the disappearance of hearts. Tell me who was involved, who is protecting you, and so on."

After Bai Mo finished speaking, Jiang Shaoxu lightly stepped forward, saying, "I am a spiritual mage; you'd better not try anything funny!"

"Yes! Yes! I wouldn't dare! I'll tell you everything! I only beg you esteemed mages to spare my life!"

Upon hearing this, Ai Jiangtu was about to speak when Bai Mo said, "It's impossible to just let you go like this. However, I will send you to the Flying Bird Magic Association!"

"Yes! Thank you, sir!" The man with the two-faced face lowered his head, his face revealing his excitement.

The Magic Association wouldn't arbitrarily execute a mage, let alone a high-ranking one, especially since he had some connections within the East Sea Magic Association. Having received confirmation that he was saved, the yin-yang face was overjoyed.

They immediately began to talk about what their Greenstone Guild had done over the years.

"We mainly serve the Bad Wolf Guild, and I don't know anything else. The person who provides us with protection in Kyushu is a woman named Zu Huiyin. The president of the Asuka City Magic Association is one of her people. They forced me to do all of this. Apart from that, I have never done anything else evil! My lord, I am a law-abiding citizen!"

At this point, Yin Yanglian seemed to have convinced himself, his voice mournful and his face full of sorrow.

However, apart from Zu Jiming, who stared wide-eyed as if lost in thought, his eyes bulging with rage, unable to utter a sound no matter how hard he tried to open his mouth, everyone else looked at this tearful man with disdain.

The subsequent questioning was handled by Ai Jiangtu and Nan Jue. Bai Mo confiscated Yin Yang Face's spatial equipment and, as he had mentioned, found the records left behind by Yin Yang Face over the years in the manor.

They also took all the treasures from the estate along with other members of the Nationalist government.

After reuniting with Ai Jiangtu and the other two, Ai Jiangtu glanced at Zu Jiming, who was trapped in place and seemed lost in thought, and handed the interrogation record to Bai Mo.

"He wasn't lying. It's the Silver Ornament Guild within the Bad Wolf Guild that needs the hearts of children. As for why the Silver Ornament Guild needs these things, he doesn't know. The Zu family and the East Sea Magic Association are providing them with protection, so perhaps they know."

"I have indeed seen the transaction documents from both parties. This matter involves aristocratic families and the Asian Mage Tower, so it's no longer something we can get involved in. Let's report it to our mentor," Bai Mo said.

"We think so too," Nan Jue nodded.

So the group first divided the 300 million in cash obtained from suppressing the bandits equally, with each person receiving about 20 million, which was neither too much nor too little for everyone present.

To show his sincerity, Yin Yang Face even removed all the magical artifacts from his body and offered them up.

Bai Mo took the stone tablet that had bound him. It looked familiar to him, and he planned to take a closer look when he got back.

Aside from the pair of bracers that could enhance magical power, nothing else was particularly valuable.

Zhao Manyan bought the wristbands, and the others had no objections.

After returning to Asuka City by boat, Bai Mo told Feng Li about the whole incident in Asuka City over the phone.

"It's gotten to the point where this is such a big deal, Bai Mo. I'll send someone to get the information from you right away."

"Okay." After hanging up the phone, while he was still able to contact people, Bai Mo found another place and made three copies of the evidence. He gave one copy to Lingling, one copy to Wu Liu, and the last copy to the Bai family head.

There will definitely be changes in the East Sea Magic Association. I hope the Bai family head can seize the opportunity to gain some benefits.

Before long, Feng Li came over in person. As he flipped through the documents in his hand, he said:

"This matter was too important; I didn't trust anyone else to do it, so I decided to come myself. Bai Mo, you did an even better job than I expected!"

Nodding slightly, Bai Mo didn't take it to heart. This matter depended on how Speaker Shao Zheng handled it; it had nothing to do with him.

He just wanted to get a little revenge on Su Lu behind the scenes and vent his anger for his friend.

Feng Li took the documents and was about to leave in a hurry, but then he paused and his face darkened.

"Zujiming doesn't need to stay in the team anymore!"

Bai Mo shrugged. "You can arrange it, sir."

When Feng Li came, he brought many members of the Tribunal with him. The cancer in Feiniao City was almost completely eradicated shortly after he left Bai Mo's room.

With the matter settled, the group rested and then boarded the cruise ship provided by Lin Junxian, sailing towards the Pacific Ocean.

There was one person missing from the team. Although no one said it, everyone knew it.

Bai Mo glanced at the lazy Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, and his voice rang in everyone's ears, "Instructor Feng Li said that he will come to replace the person after the Fusang Pavilion."

Neither of them showed any unusual behavior, but their thieving eyes, while not daring to look at Mu Nujiao, did not miss a single girl in the group.

After all, the group consisted of elegant young ladies, each one of them exceptionally beautiful, and they attracted even more attention once they put on their swimsuits.

Mo Fan and his companion sneakily tricked Guan Yu into pulling Jiang Shaoxu's suspenders.

Bai Mo pretended not to know anything. Just as he heard a scream, he subconsciously looked over, only to find a delicate little hand blocking his view.

"Why are you covering my eyes?" Bai Mo reached out and grabbed the small hand in front of him, squeezing it casually without removing it.

"Did you hear that?!" Mu Nujiao sat down next to him and said irritably.

"What did you hear?"

"Hmph, keep pretending." Mu Nujiao put her hand down, and seeing him still pinching and squeezing here and there, she rolled her eyes. "Is it that fun?"

"That depends on what you're comparing it to." Bai Mo glanced at her snow-white peaks covered by her swimsuit, his gaze sweeping over her abs and bent legs, finally settling on her delicate, pink, and translucent white feet.

Mu Nujiao suddenly felt her feet getting hot and couldn't help but shrink back. "Pervert!"

"What do you mean by perverted? I'm just good at discovering beauty. Li Bai even said, 'My feet are like frost on my clogs, and I don't wear socks with black tops,' which shows that Li Bai and I both have eyes for beauty."

"Pah!" Mu Nujiao stomped on his foot in annoyance. "You think you're right?"

"I estimate that the vacant official team member should be chosen from among the three of you." Bai Mo abruptly changed the subject, not wanting to argue about it anymore, because even if he won, he wouldn't be able to play the game.

"There's another one who needs to be replaced." Mu Nujiao frowned. "Hopefully it's not Ning Xue."

"You and her get along well?"

"She was also someone who was devoted to cultivation, but unfortunately she was implicated by her family." Mu Nujiao sighed.

"Everyone has their own destiny. With her strength, she can fight back," Bai Mo said, then asked, "When did your wind element reach the advanced level? By the way, what is the third element?"

"I broke through a month ago, and you're only asking now." Mu Nujiao pulled her hand back and glanced at him.

Bai Mo got up and poured her a glass of juice. "I was a bit busy during that time, so I forgot."

He paused, then began to accuse the other side, "Besides, you didn't tell me you were at an advanced level. If TuTu hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known."

"If I hadn't told you, wouldn't you have asked?"

Bai Mo choked, scratched his head, grabbed her hand again, then lay down on the recliner, turning his head to look at the girl's flawless, well-defined, and beautiful profile.

"It was my fault. What is your third department?"

Mu Nujiao curled her lips and didn't continue to argue. After all, he didn't know when she broke through. She took a sip of the juice in her glass, and a trace of ice lightly touched the white ink fingers that were holding her palm.

"What has awakened is the ice element."

"Ice-type? That's not bad. It has many uses and is well-suited for naval warfare."

"Well, I used a lightning-type guiding stone, but I still awakened the ice element, so it's a bit of a loss. As for the wind element, it's already at the mid-level perfection, but I'll have to rely on the family for a breakthrough."

Bai Mo stood up and looked at her. After thinking for a moment, he said, "If you don't want to rely on your family and need more Star River Vein money, you can tell me."

"Well, it's still early. We should be able to gain something after the challenge ends."

Mu Nujiao nodded slightly, neither being polite nor speaking up immediately. It wasn't for any other reason than that she knew Bai Mo's expenses were also quite high, and what the Bai family provided for him was merely a drop in the ocean.

Changing the subject, she asked, "Why did you participate in the National Academy training? With your abilities, the instructors wouldn't have said anything if you had come at the start of the competition."

"I'm worried about you being alone," Bai Mo said, looking at her.

"Be serious." Mu Nujiao smiled, but rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm telling the truth."

"If you don't tell me, you can't play with my hands."

"Alright." Bai Mo paused. "There are other reasons as well."

"As you know, everyone's path to transcendence is different. It's not like you can just be given a source or a piece of star sea celestial vein, and once you reach the high-level perfection of a certain lineage, you can break through with that..."

Upon hearing this, Mu Nujiao nodded solemnly. Indeed, once you reach a higher level, magic begins to transcend its limitations. Everyone's physique, comprehension, level of magical cultivation, and type of magic are all different. Therefore, one must first understand one's own path to transcendence.

Only when one understands this will the galaxy come alive, unleashing a more magnificent vitality, and gaining the opportunity to break through to the next level.

It was only at that time that there was hope of successfully breaking through with the help of rare and precious materials.

"Although I haven't reached the advanced stage of perfection yet, I still need to plan ahead. Going out to train and try my luck back then was just that—trying. The same applies now. I might as well come out and travel with you now," Bai Mo smiled. "And make some friends along the way."

Bai Mo drew out his words, leaned close to her ear, and said, "Then I'll eat you up."

"You wish!" Mu Nu's cheeks flushed red, she stepped on his leg, kicking him away, and stared straight at the cup, not looking anywhere else.

Bai Mo chuckled softly, not bothering her, and looked up at the azure sky, his eyes darting around.

He always felt that his transcendental abilities were inseparable from the Eye of Time and Space. During the last divine descent, he also felt a faint attraction from the south, and the Indian landscape painting was related to the secrets of the summoning system.

If I were to go and take a look now, I wonder if I could understand the path to transcendence for these two elements.

Furthermore, the original work only clearly describes Mu Bai's process of advancing to the Super Enlightenment level. As for Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan, they relied on totem source power.

The hollow willow tree has neither offspring nor maternal totems, existing in its own right. It's unclear whether it can utilize the power of other totems, but considering the silver hairpin spear's two absorptions of exotic energies, Bai Mo believes it should be able to store totem energy.

If that doesn't work, we'll need to find another living totem to look into.

With his strength and talent, surely no totem would look down on him?

Imperial Capital Magic Association

The Speaker sat upright at his desk, looking solemnly at the documents Feng Li had delivered.

Upon seeing the words "Silver Jewelry Guild" and "East Sea Mage Tower" above, he let out a soft hum, his voice barely audible, yet his tone was as deep as muffled thunder.

"Su Lu, you'd better not make me continue investigating!"

As he spoke, he took out the evidence concerning Zu Huiyin and chuckled softly.

"Congratulations, Speaker, on finally eliminating Zu Huiyin, the spy," said Feng Li, who was standing to the side.

"Zu Huiyin is nothing to worry about. She is unrestrained, willful, and prone to distorting the truth. She also spoils her relatives. Getting rid of her is not a difficult task."

Shao Zheng shook his head, stood up and looked west. "The parliamentary meeting will be held in three days. Foreign Minister Zu Hengrao should step down."

"Is the Speaker going out again in three days?" Feng Li asked in surprise.

"Good, I'll go to the Dubai Temple Tower." Shao Zheng said, his figure disappearing from the room.

"Ming Lei Corner"

Sikong Wen looked at the intelligence report sent by the family's guest elder in his hand, which said that the lightning element here has been particularly abundant in recent years, either because rare and precious materials are born here, or because other strange and unusual things of heaven and earth appear.

Minglei Corner is located on the edge of the heartland of Leizhou, where powerful lightning-attribute demons often appear. The sudden increase in elemental density in Minglei Corner is likely to attract demons there, and it may also be the birthplace of elemental spirits.

More importantly, the guest elder spotted the figure of a cub in the distance.

"After searching for so long, we've finally found what Brother Bai wanted."

Sikong Wen smiled and knew that Bai Mo had embarked on his training journey the day before yesterday. He did not make a phone call rashly, but immediately dialed the number of Bai's family.

"But Minglei Corner isn't so easy to get to."

The Asian Mage Tower stands atop the sky dome.

"Revoke the East Sea Magic Association? Shao Zheng, are you kidding me?"

"no."

Shao Zheng sat calmly at one end of the long table, signaling his assistant to hand over the Asuka City infant incident and some evidence to the members of the Asian Magic Association present.

"The East Sea Magic Association was originally under the direct jurisdiction of the Dubai Mage Tower, so in order to maintain the dignity of the Dubai Mage Tower, the Kyushu Magic Association rarely interfered with it."

Unexpectedly, the cities under the jurisdiction of the East Sea Magic Association have repeatedly experienced chilling incidents. This demonstrates that the East Sea Magic Tower is incompetent and unfit for oversight, contradicting the original intentions of the Magic Association. Therefore, Kyushu has decided to abolish the East Sea Magic Association. The East Sea has been part of Kyushu since ancient times and should rightfully be governed and ruled by Kyushu!

As everyone watched, Shao Zheng spoke, his voice ringing out like gold and jade, completely ignoring Su Lu's increasingly unpleasant expression.

He had always wanted to do this. How could Asia be in charge of matters concerning Kyushu? But he had never found an opportunity to remove this thorn in his side. Now he finally had a reason.

"This, Representative Shao, is not interested in interfering in Kyushu; it is only to better protect East Asia," a representative said.

"Over the years, the local direct associations of the continental magic associations in various other places have been withdrawn one after another, which has proven that being directly subordinate to the superior is not suitable for the local environment. What's wrong with abolishing the East China Sea Magic Association?" Shao Zheng said bluntly.

He glanced at the oldest person in the group and said meaningfully, "Like other countries, Kyushu has long been a land illuminated by laws."

The old man, who had kept his eyes closed and seemed oblivious to the discussions around him, yet commanded a subtle respect from everyone, opened his eyes and looked at Shao Zheng with his azure gaze.

"Can."

After speaking, he closed his eyes again, adopting an air of indifference.

Upon hearing this, a few who supported Su Lu turned their gaze towards her. (End of Chapter)
