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

Lingling's pupils contracted, and she suddenly looked up at the old man, a faint black glow already emerging between her brows.

"Lingling, don't be nervous. I'm Grandpa Qin Yue. You should remember that I once brought you a box of local specialty pastries from our hometown. You said they tasted a bit like matcha."

Seeing Lingling's reaction, the old man knew that some of his flaws had been noticed by this observant young girl.

He stepped back slightly, speaking more rapidly to indicate that he meant no harm.

"As you may have noticed, I am not an ordinary person. Strictly speaking, I can no longer be considered a human being in the normal sense."

As Grandpa Qin Yue spoke, his appearance underwent a dramatic transformation.

First, the life force of the living disappeared, and a chilling aura belonging to the yin beings permeated the air.

Secondly, his skin, in the blink of an eye, changed from the dark tan typical of outdoor laborers to a strikingly contrasting, lifeless grayish-white.

His cloudy eyes, which were usually clear in black and white, gradually brightened, his black pupils dilated, the whites of his eyes disappeared, until his entire eyes became black.

At this moment, he had completely transformed into a creature that Lingling had once seen before—a zombie puppet.

Grandpa Qin Yue returned to his original form, stepped back a little, and raised his hands to indicate that he meant no harm.

Lingling had calmed down by now, but the black light surging from her forehead still flowed throughout her body.

Armor combination!

"You're a zombie puppet?! Why are you Grandpa Qin Yue?"

"Because Qin Yue's father was someone I adopted."

The old man answered immediately, and before Lingling could ask, he said even more urgently:

"I've shown myself to see Bai Mo. We need his help!"

"He's not in Shanghai right now, he's in Dubai. You've come at the wrong time. If there's anything you need, you can tell me, and I might be able to help," Lingling said.

"No, thank you. Since he's not here, I'll wait for him to come back."

Upon hearing this, the old man did not accept Lingling's kindness.

Even though his interactions with the little guy over this period of time had made him realize that the person in front of him was a kind person.

But the information I received and the things I wanted to say were too important.

If they are to choose to believe in a human being, then they have only one choice.

That was Bai Mo, whom Han Fei had met once.

He had thought that once he arrived here, he would soon see the young man.

Resuming his disguise, the old man silently found a spot in the corner and sat down.

His gaze remained fixed on the outside of the shop window.

Lingling didn't know what they wanted, but she could tell from the old man's behavior and his unusually direct revelation of his identity.

This made her feel that what the old man wanted to ask of her seemed very important.

"If you don't believe me, we can sign a mental contract," Lingling said again.

"No, I can wait a little longer, I can wait," the old man said, shaking his head.

······

Boom! ...

A tremendous roar resounded throughout Dubai, emanating from the top of the Dubai Wizard Tower, which resembled a city in the sky.

It was like thunderclaps, striking the ears of everyone in the city.

When people looked up toward the source of the sound, they saw the entire Dubai Tower shaking, with the topmost point becoming a massive burst of water.

The white waves spread out like clouds in the sky, and the entire top of the mage tower was submerged in white.

The slow-reacting guardian mage activated an emergency array that flickered, preventing the vast waves from expanding.

They cascade down from the sky like waterfalls, resembling a curtain of heaven.

Countless monks swarmed out of the tall, thin tower like bees whose nest had been disturbed.

They wander aimlessly, running without direction.

Many citizens who looked up at this scene were dumbfounded, as if they were watching a comical silent performance.

Su Lu stood expressionless at the top of the mage tower, holding half a person in her hand.

That was Xi Zhe, whose lower body had been blown apart.

None of them expected that Bai Mo was also a fake, and even more likely to self-destruct.

"Help me."

Xi Zhe's upper body was also covered with countless bullet holes, as he spoke with difficulty.

There was no way around it; he was just too close to Bai Mo.

Even if he is a forbidden spellcaster, even if he is a space mage, at such close range.

He didn't even have time to mount an effective defense!

Moreover, he is also completing his forbidden spell, Starlight Cosmic Mountain.

The sudden and raging flood was like a war fortress that was suddenly swept away.

The hail of bullets expanded outwards like a tsunami and a swirling storm, a dense barrage of highly rigid water bullets. If Su Lu hadn't reacted quickly enough, he himself would have been seriously injured.

The entire hemispherical sky at the top of the mage tower shattered at that moment, leaving only the framework remaining in some places that were supposed to maintain the stability of the mage tower.

All the members who were on the top floor at the time, Su Lu's secretaries, the Dubai high-ranking mages who came up to assist in the capture, and the six space-type super-level cultivators carefully trained by Xi Zhe.

They all turned into foam in the sudden, exploding flood; they couldn't even stain one percent of the entire floodwaters red.

It was so inconspicuous.

"All Dubai armed forces, search for Bai Mo and Shaja with all your might. Whoever finds them will be granted the qualification of a lifetime member of the Dubai Parliament!"

Su Lu looked down at the entire city, her eyes fixed on the hotel where Bai Mo was staying, and her voice boomed throughout the entire Mage Tower.

Every member of parliament in Dubai can be considered a shareholder in the city.

They enjoy the dividends from the benefits created by this city.

Dubai's many high-ranking and top-ranking figures, which one of them is not powerful?

However, they still don't have a seat in the parliament!

This time, Su Lu actually brought out this kind of reward.

If Dubai were a publicly listed company, then this position of lifetime legislator would be almost equivalent to the original shares of that company!

After Su Lu finished speaking, he grabbed Xi Zhe and headed straight for Parthenon.

While flying, I gave him temporary treatment.

No matter what, Xizhe was a forbidden spell loyal to him.

Even if he died in battle, he deserves a proper burial.

Besides, there's still hope.

The moment Su Lu set off, the entire Dubai Wizard Tower erupted in excitement.

The city guards, the high-ranking mage corps, the honor guards, the cloud mage faction—almost every group and individual that considered themselves powerful mobilized.

News of Bai Mo's capture, along with information about Bai Mo and Sha Jia, spread throughout Dubai at an almost explosive pace.

From those at the highest, middle, and lowest ranks, from mages to the wealthy, and then to every ordinary person in the city.

Incentivized by the city's initial public offering (IPO) shares, the city's million inhabitants seemed to coalesce into a terrifying force.

"They're not at the hotel; they've already run away!"

"Surveillance footage was found on Rue 38 in the Ruhr district, capturing images of Long and his group leaving!"

"They're teleporting. If they head further east, immediately notify the city defense forces to activate a city-wide spatial lockdown. We can't let them teleport again!"

"A resident from a street outside the Special District reported seeing two people walking by in a flash!"

"Damn it, they haven't activated the spatial blockade yet! We must complete the task Lord Su Lu entrusted to us, no matter the cost!"

A million people in Dubai were working tirelessly to hinder Bai Mo and his companion's progress.

In fact, their obstruction had only begun two minutes ago for Bai Mo.

During that period, he had been taking Shaka with him to avoid the many Dubai monks disguised as waiters, managers, or receptionists in the hotel without causing a fight.

It has to be said that Su Lu's preparations were quite thorough.

The entire area within a 3,000-meter radius of the hotel is under spatial containment, and the array is the work of Xi Zhe's forbidden spell.

Even Bai Mo, who possesses a cloak that allows him to penetrate spatial barriers, found it quite troublesome.

It took them some time to walk out of that area that Bai Mo felt as if the entire space had been injected with superglue.

"Don't worry about them. Once we leave that area, we'll be free to explore any future we want."

Bai Mo glanced at Shaja, who was about to drive away the Dubai crowd that had blocked the way, and shook his head.

Starlight danced around him, seemingly oblivious to the combined disruptive forces emanating from surrounding buildings, utility poles, roads, and other places.

Buzz~~~~!

As the constellation falls, space opens.

With a flash of silver light, the two disappeared from the spot.

Those people's communications couldn't escape his ears, but Bai Mo wasn't worried at all.

No, do you really think that any random spatial sealing formation can trap him?

Are you all Western philosophers?

Dubai is a large city, even larger than Shanghai.

Therefore, it did not take Bai Mo only a moment to travel from the center of the city to the outside.

It still took him a few breaths.

If the space mage wanted to escape, no one could stop him.

Once outside the city, Bai Mo glanced back at Dubai and could almost see the people jumping up and down in frustration.

He finally understood the joy of hitting and running away.

"Teacher, someone is catching up. They seem to be very powerful." Shaka reminded her, her eyes fixed intently on the several shadows flying over in the distance.

"Ignore them, they can't catch up."

In a short-range battle in a fixed location, Bai Mo's teleportation might be able to be followed by mages specializing in speed and agility.

But no one can outrun a mage who can already travel long distances through space during such a long-distance raid.

Bai Mo built another spatial bridge, moving it another ten kilometers.

It appeared in a field whose location was unknown.

"Teacher, it seems like someone is following us." Shaka suddenly looked into the space behind her and said.

"I know someone hitched a ride, but they're not an enemy."

Bai Mo turned around, and the space behind him, which had just closed and stopped distorting, began to fluctuate again.

A tall figure tumbled out and landed on the ground in a very unseemly manner.

"oops!"

With a cry of pain, Asha'ruya got up from the ground, patted the mud off her clothes, causing a huge uproar.

Asha's dark, bright eyes looked at Bai Mo with a resentful expression, her lips pouting.

"Bai Mo, we've been friends for a while now. Can't you be a little more gentlemanly and catch me? Don't tell me you didn't notice."

"I was already being very gentlemanly by reminding Shaka not to make a move and kill you the moment you appeared."

Bai Mo shrugged. "Who told you to sneak up on me like that, and with such dangerous spatial techniques?"

"You dare to take any kind of drift with the wind? If I make a sharp turn halfway, I can make the spatial turbulence throw you all the way to Antarctica."

Asha's Riya wasn't fooled; her spatial abilities were also at the super-tier level.

Although not as monstrous as Bai Mo, he can still hitch a ride and get off midway by using magical artifacts.

"Hehe, that was because I trusted you. I wouldn't even bother with ordinary people. You're just throwing your charm at a blind man."

Bai Mo stopped chatting with her. Although he had guessed what was going on, he still asked her directly.

"Speak up, what are you doing following us? Do you also want Dubai shares?"

"Hehehe~, I don't have that kind of luck."

Asharuya chuckled twice, but her eyes held little amusement; instead, they were serious.

"Are you interested in joining forces?"

"You want to save the Black Dragon Emperor," Bai Mo said.

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Shaka's eyes, while Asha's face showed a look of astonishment.

How did you know?

"When you took me to see the Black Dragon Emperor, your purpose was too obvious, and I heard some things about it afterward, so it's not hard to guess."

"That's right, you guessed correctly."

Asha'ruya readily admitted it, nodding and saying:

"The Black Dragon Emperor is a friend of my adoptive father. His name is Austin, and he has been controlled by Su Lu using evil methods. I want to save him."

She looked at Bai Mo with burning eyes, like the moon suddenly brightening in an autumn night, yet also carrying the charming allure of everyday life.

"We share a common enemy. If you save him, I, the Saint of Parthenon, will do anything for you~"

After she finished speaking, she winked, with a hint of provocation.

"Sure, you'll be my lover then," Bai Mo said without hesitation.

"OK."

Asha'ruya said, half jokingly and half seriously.

Bai Mo didn't continue speaking, but instead looked into the distance.

"Since we're all on the same side now, why don't we take care of a few enemies first and celebrate? By the way, are you sure you can handle it?"

Asha'ruya gave a soft hum, and a slender, dark longsword appeared in her hand. Thin, dark armor draped over her body like a veil.

In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a princess fleeing from disaster into a valiant female warrior.

A cold and gloomy aura emanated from it.

"Who do you think you are? Let's see who kills more, and then we'll see who's on top."

Saga opened her mouth wide, her ears turning slightly red, and stammered, "Me...do I want to compete too?"

"If you want to ride him, then ride him." Asha's reply was quite fierce.

As soon as she finished speaking, she took a step forward and silently disappeared into the shadows.

Shaka didn't dare to look at Bai Mo. Holding the book, she silently cast a concealment spell to hide herself.

Bai Mo scratched his head, and for a moment, he hesitated.

Is he trying to lose in a more natural way, or in a more satisfying way?

This is a really hard suggestion to refuse!

·····

"Chase them! Flying Dragon told me they're up ahead!"

The leader of the Cloud Mage Corps, Demu, shouted loudly, and the dragon beneath his feet, exuding a fierce dragon might, urged another dragon in front of him onward.

That was the one that Bai Mo and his two companions had ridden. Its original owner was the big, burly man from the patrol team.

The legion commander's dragon bloodline was clearly superior to that of the big black man's dragon, which was now flying with all its might.

You can see that the wing has torn due to excessive force at the point where it is exerting force.

The big black guy didn't care about that; he kept urging his dragon forward and fawned over the legion commander behind him:

"Lord German Shepherd, don't worry, they definitely can't escape. Long-distance teleportation is very mentally taxing. They must be resting right now. My dragon remembers Bai Mo's scent and will definitely be able to find him."

"Very good, big black guy, once I become a senator, you'll be my secretary!"

After finishing his sentence, the German Shepherd turned to the Cloud Monks and said, "Let's work together to kill Bai Mo, and then the councilors' share of the profits will be distributed according to the amount of effort they put in! Everyone, give it your all!"

"yes!!"

The emotions of the fifty cloud-dwelling mages were instantly stirred. They excitedly scanned the land below, trying their best to sense whether there were any traces left by Bai Mo.

"Roar~"

Suddenly, the large black dragon let out a low roar and stopped above a barren hill with little vegetation, no longer moving forward.

"Damn it, you beast, keep chasing me!"

Upon seeing this, the big black guy immediately conjured a plant thorn whip and lashed it hard near the dragon's injured wing.

"If you don't chase me, I'll cripple you today! There's nothing here, are you blind?! What are you doing standing here?!"

With each word he spoke, he lashed out with his whip, striking the dragon so hard that it let out a series of painful howls.

The leader of the mage group, Shepherd De, looked down at the area and gestured for the big black man to stop.

"They might be hiding. Search them!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the group had just descended to a certain altitude when the entire sky suddenly darkened.

The entire Cloud Mage Corps felt a chill run down their spines and immediately became vigilant. Those mages with light-elemental abilities were the first to unleash their radiance.

But it was precisely in this moment of tension and confusion that they felt completely lost.

Several sword lights, resembling shooting stars from the sky, formed a triangular formation resembling the moon, flying towards several different dragon mages.

The dark and sharp sword light appeared silently under the cover of darkness, and somehow appeared in front of the big black man who was whipping the flying dragon.

Puff puff puff puff!!

Like autumn leaves swept away by the wind, several dragon mages, including the big black guy, were beheaded on the spot with a single sword strike.

The gushing water poured onto the dragon scales, creating eerie patterns.

The spiritual bond between master and mount was broken by death, and several dragons instantly went berserk, charging into the mage group like mad bulls.

"What's going on?!"

"Damn it, someone's dead!"

"Deal with these beasts!!"

In an instant, a vast expanse of magical light shone forth, and lightning and ice erupted simultaneously, slaying the dragons.

Just then, several more dark sword slashes flew out.

At the same time, an even more sinister dark red sword shadow appeared in the sight of everyone in the Cloud Mage Corps.

The sinister, cleaving sword Tyr's Edge, with its imposing momentum, suddenly fell, cleaving a caught-off-guard cloud mage and his dragon in two.

With a few more soft sounds, just as everyone's attention was drawn to the cleaving sword Tyr's Edge, the shadow of the dark sword, which came from the hand of the Goddess of Night, suddenly severed the necks of several cloud mages!

"Damn it, gather together! Everyone gather together!!"

This time, the commander, German Shepherd, didn't give the wyverns that had lost their masters a chance to go berserk. He casually lashed out with three lightning whips, shattering the wyverns, and then roared loudly.

All the cloud mages immediately gathered together. They abandoned the dragons, using their bodies as shields to protect themselves, forming a circle and converging at the center to create a magic array.

"Let's break through this damned darkness first!"

"It's a German Shepherd!" the dog exclaimed. A dazzling golden light immediately emanated from its body.

At the same time, the sixteen cloud-dwelling mages around him also shone with golden light!

Golden light coalesced into the shape of a sixteen-pointed star, gathering the power of all the light mages, and instantly unleashed a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

The beam of light suddenly dried the dark night sky, and the light was poured into the high sky layer by layer, like clear water washing away the ink stains on the ground.

The darkness receded, and it seemed that dawn was approaching, but the cloud mages on the outermost defense were surprised to find...

That light of dawn conceals an even sharper and colder shadow, the most insane darkness!

"Dawn breaks!"

Just then, a cold, soft shout was suddenly caught by everyone, and a magnificent, wide, and long sword light slashed down from the front.

The sword light was like a shockwave coming from the horizon, carrying the power of heaven and earth. As it moved forward, the darkness in the sky, driven by the golden disc, all actively attached themselves to it.

This made the sword light even more ghostly and unpredictable!

Everyone felt as if they were locked in by this awe-inspiring and magnificent sword light, unable to break free no matter what.

"Defend! Quickly!!"

A cloud-dwelling monk cried out repeatedly, just about to cast a spell, when he suddenly felt a tightness all over his body.

Looking down, I saw that large patches of vines had somehow climbed up from the ground and reached high into the air, wrapping around my feet.

He instinctively reached for his magic to shatter the vines before they were completely entangled.

But the magic power disappeared as soon as it was activated, leaving him slightly taken aback and somewhat confused.

But then the leader of the mage group suddenly let out a terrified scream, his voice like that of a startled donkey.

"Van Kui! Only the Holy City possesses Van Kui, why do you have Van Kui? How can you control Van Kui?!"

It turned out that this was Fan Kui. The moment the cloud monk had this thought, he was interrupted by a mournful and painful dragon's roar.

The sword light of dawn struck, instantly slicing the outer dragons to pieces and landing on them.

The cloud mage was completely unable to think anymore; his body, along with the temporarily activated magical armor, was severed.

Fortunately, he was not alone; his colleagues were his companions on the road to death.

The Dawn Sword Light annihilated half of the Cloud Mage before crashing directly into the sixteen-pointed star array, causing a violent explosion, and finally dissipated along with the array.

The German Shepherd watched in shock and panic as Asha's approaching figure drew closer. Her fully armed dark armor made it hard to associate her with the Holy City.

Without the Holy Light Array and further bound by the sealing power of the Van Kui, they were now completely at the mercy of the enemy.

"First of all, I'm not the one who's controlling you."

"Secondly, why can't I have Van Kui? After all, my mother was one of the top people in the Holy City back then."

Asha's eyes, hidden beneath her mask, glanced at Shaka, who was carrying a book and slowly walking out beside her, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes as well.

However, she was clearly more interested in eliminating Su Lu's henchmen than in investigating Shaka's identity.

Her gaze returned to the German Shepherd and the others, her bright eyes suddenly turning cold, like a judge in the darkness.

"You people all participated in the harm done to Austin, you deserve to die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the slender sword in her hand suddenly began to dance, and streaks of dark sword light flew out, slicing off heads one by one.

Shaka didn't do much. After Asharuya had completely killed everyone, she buried them all.

"It seems we've won."

Asha'ruya dispelled her Dark Swordswoman form, looked towards where Bai Mo was hiding, and then turned to Shaka, saying:

"Hehe, sister, let's split it in half."

Bai Mo: ?

No, make it clear, what do you mean by half for each person, otherwise I won't come out.

"We can't stay here any longer. Dubai might still have a way to track them down," Shaja said seriously, showing no intention of joking.

"Yes, let's go now." Bai Mo appeared, opened a spatial portal, and gestured to the two.

"I won't go in. I've done everything I wanted to do. To save Austin, we need a powerful and trustworthy mental mage, as well as a lot of materials. I need to go and prepare them."

Asha Ruya suddenly said that she had no intention of escaping back to Kyushu with Bai Mo and the other person, nor did she need to.

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo nodded and led Shajia to begin another spatial traversal.

Later, they switched to having the Wind Spirit carry them.

When two people are alone, it's easy for them to talk about topics that are not normally appropriate.

As night fell, the whole world seemed to shrink, and the stars became the decorative lights throughout the room.

"Teacher, aren't you curious about my identity? I can use the Vankui." Shaka looked at Bai Mo sitting beside her and said.

Everyone has their own secrets. If you're willing to share, I'll have time to listen.

Bai Mo leans against the moon in the sky, a moon he can never catch up with.

"Sometimes, I have a feeling that my teacher already knows who I am, but that's unlikely."

Shaka also looked up at the moon, and after it slumbered again behind the clouds, she turned to look at Bai Mo and continued:

"However, I feel... I want to share this secret with you, teacher."

"Okay, I'm listening." Bai Mo never expected that things would develop like this between him and Sha Jia.

Although Shaka is beautiful, has a great figure, delicate skin, a better personality, and the added bonus of being an angel, it's even more exciting.

"Does the teacher know about angels?"

"I think there's no one in the world who doesn't know this."

"I am an angel." Shaka's eyes flickered as she looked earnestly at Bai Mo.

"Gabriel, one of the seven archangels of the Holy City."

As she uttered the name, her body flickered slightly, as if something resonated with it.

After she finished speaking, she even felt a little nervous, because after spending some time with her teacher, Shaka felt that her teacher did not have a good impression of the Holy City.

Actually, she didn't know why she had this idea; she just felt that the teacher was special and couldn't help but want to know more about him.

Before she knew it, she found herself captivated.

Bai Mo had no intention of acting to deceive a young girl, and his face did not show the surprise one would expect.

Seeing that Shaka looked a little nervous, he couldn't help but laugh. He reached out and took her hand, pulling her into his arms with ease.

"To me, it doesn't matter who you are."

"Teacher, Su Lu is against you. What if I return and kill him?" Shaka said.

"I think people like Michael Remiel are already in their seventies or eighties before they choose to return. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Bai Mo shook his head, rejecting the suggestion. Using the spiritual power of the wind spirit, he gently tapped Shaka's forehead.

"I'll share a little secret with you too."

As the spiritual light from his fingertips seeped into his brow, a simple message about divine intervention entered.

"No wonder the teacher seems fearless."

Bai Mo felt it was a bit strange that she still called her teacher, but to be honest, it sounded quite nice.

He leaned down and kissed her. "Come on, say it again."

"Teacher~"

······

Back in Kyushu, Bai Mo and Sha Jia landed on Xia Island.

Just as I stood still, I saw Feng Zhoulong standing on the beach, lost in thought.

"Old Feng, are you alright?" Bai Mo was a little worried that he had been hit hard. "Should we get you a therapist?"

He received a glare as soon as he finished speaking.

"Those faithless, corrupt fellows are not worth my attention; I'm thinking about other things."

Feng Zhoulong said with his head held high, then glanced at him again.

"You didn't tell me that when my clone is killed, my consciousness will also feel pain. That feeling is really awful. I haven't recovered for a whole day."

"I always said it would be better to have a psychologist."

Bai Mo nodded seriously, while Sha Jia looked at Bai Mo.

"Teacher, your clone..."

"I'm not that fragile."

Feng Zhoulong raised an eyebrow, but then closed his mouth again, just as he was about to agree.

"Who are you calling out, you little brat!"

"Old Feng, are you sure you don't need a psychologist?"

"I'm doing research, I don't have time!"

Bai Mo shrugged and looked at Sha Jia, "Are you staying here, or...?"

"I'll just stay here and do my research, so as not to trouble the teacher," Shaka said with a smile.

"That's not a problem," Bai Mo sighed, but he didn't insist.

He had just returned to China when Lingling sent him a message. He still had to deal with it and didn't know why the zombie clan was so eager to find him.

After leaving Xiayu and returning to Shanghai, Bai Mo immediately appeared at the Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"Did I arrive just in time?"

Bai Mo glanced around and spotted Grandpa Qin Yue in the corner.

Perhaps he has other names.

After glancing at Lingling beside him, Bai Mo said to the old man who had approached:

"She can be trusted. Just tell me what's on your mind."

The old man nodded, took a step forward, and a special grayish-white necromantic energy emanated from him, forming a Bagua diagram beneath his feet, sealing off the entire Azure Sky Hunting Grounds and isolating Lingling from the outside world.

Bai Mo raised an eyebrow slightly, but said nothing more, waiting for the old man to speak.

"My name is Qingye, and I am a member of the zombies. Our clan's hideout has been discovered, and several key members and some elderly and weak people are trapped there. I have come here to ask for your help."

"The location, and who trapped them?"

"I will take you to the place; they are trapped by the people of the Holy City."

We were holding a clan meeting, but for some reason, our location was exposed. Several holy judges from the Holy City, along with a large group of mercenaries, surrounded us.

I arrived last, so I didn't get completely surrounded and managed to escape.

Perhaps to persuade Bai Mo to rescue them, Qingye didn't hesitate to reveal the crucial point.

"Of us zombie puppets, only nineteen remain in the world. Six of them absolutely cannot be allowed to fail, because they are connected to the final piece of the Origin Stone!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo's eyes narrowed; this was exactly the effect Qing Ye wanted.

After the Bagua diagram was removed, his aura weakened.

Clearly, using superhuman strength to perform human techniques is extremely taxing on them.

"Let's hurry and go!"

"good!"

Bai Mo nodded, and silver light spots appeared around him.

"You point the way, and I'll lead you."

Aoba did not refuse. Although he was fast, it was only a burst of speed in an instant.

The silver light streaked like a shooting star, but at an even faster speed.

To Bai Mo's surprise, the hideouts of these zombie puppets were not in some desolate, uninhabited area.

This area should be a spur of the Wuyi Mountains, a place surrounded by mountains and water, with several scattered human towns nearby.

Once you arrive here, you can no longer find the exact location by using spatial teleportation.

Bai Mo rode the wind, following the path indicated by Qing Ye, and ventured deeper into the mountains. After turning a bend in a mountain pass and passing through a narrow crevice, a basin valley that seemed to exist independently of the entire mountain range suddenly appeared before his eyes.

All around are towering cliffs and dense ancient trees.

Bai Mo felt that this place must have been formed after a meteorite impact, and the entire basin was like a hole punched in the very center of the mountain range.

As soon as Bai Mo approached, he heard the sound of intense bombing.

The mountains and forests in the valley were in chaos, with many places directly destroyed and left barren, and large swathes of jungle burning with raging flames.

"Fire mages! Fire mages, prepare! Keep bombarding them! Let's see how long they can hold out!"

Shouts, cries, commands, and sounds of battle rose up in a chaotic cacophony.

The towering ancient trees that were used to conceal the valley had long been bombed away.

In the open space, one could easily see a group of about five hundred hunter mages blocking a cliff to the north.

There was a cave entrance on the cliff, and several charred, zombie-like figures blocked the entrance.

Above the hunter mage, several mages wearing the robes of holy judge mages from the Holy City looked at the zombie puppets.

He was loudly directing the mercenary group below to bombard the zombies with magic.

The solid mountain walls that had remained unchanged for thousands of years have now been transformed into a cratered lunar surface by magical bombardment, with some places so deep that they could form a platform.

Only the area guarded by the few zombie puppets remained undamaged.

"Keep attacking! These things have a limit to their defenses, so keep hitting them hard!"

The white-bearded magistrate declared loudly, "They have experience dealing with these creatures."

Therefore, they do not choose to engage in one-on-one combat or even close-quarters battles, but instead stay at a safe distance and use large-scale cluster bombardment to deplete the strength of these forces.

"Why don't you run away?" Bai Mo couldn't help but ask.

He had also fought against the zombie puppets and had a relatively good understanding of their strength.

"Not every zombie puppet is immune to elemental damage and impervious to swords and blades. Some have long since lost those abilities over time."

Aoba sighed, "We have accompanied each other for a thousand years. We cannot abandon them unless absolutely necessary."

Upon hearing this, even Bai Mo couldn't help but be moved.

"How many people like you are left?"

"Countless people were willing to become zombie puppets back then, but our capabilities only allow us to create seven hundred."

Most of the seven hundred zombie puppets were used as a cover; only the six people protecting the secret of the Origin Stone were truly important.

"Right now, only the six of us can fully utilize the abilities of the zombie puppets. Of the rest, nine have lost their abilities, and four retain some."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mo couldn't sit still any longer. He glanced at the four zombie puppets who were blocking wave after wave of bombardment. "You're risking your core members?!"

Depend on!

Is this how you keep a secret?

"amnesty!"

A white-gold tiger talisman appeared above Bai Mo's head, followed by a heavy, metallic aura resembling a necklace or silk ribbon.

A white-gold halo instantly expanded out, coloring the entire valley.

The sky turned a heavy white-gold color, as if the earth elements of half of Wuyi Mountain had gathered there, and the clouds in the sky seemed to have become a mountain range.

With both hands raised in a gesture of embracing the sky, it seemed to be responding to Bai Mo's call. One could see the white-gold clouds rolling in the sky, as if hundreds of rock dragons were churning within them.

The clouds parted, revealing a massive, sharp sword tip resembling an aircraft carrier.

The overwhelming pressure instantly filled the entire thousand-meter-wide basin, and the sudden change left the entire mercenary group and the four Holy Judges of the Holy City completely astonished.

They stared in horror at the tip of the sword that peeked out from the clouds; just a sliver was enough to fill half the basin!

The platinum-gold sword tip looked like it was forged from a meteorite, carrying an incomparably sharp edge, as if it could sever this section of the Wuyi Mountain range!

The four holy city warriors swallowed hard, feeling as if they were facing the might of the heavens.

Is that really earth magic?!

Why can earth magic be formed from the sky?

The overwhelming sense of being locked on and the oppressive force left the Holy City's Holy Judge Mage with no thought of resistance, and he fled immediately.

The five hundred mercenary mages below them stared at the sky in terror.

They were completely immobilized by the immense pressure of the earth, as if they were clay or wooden sculptures, unable to move.

"Heavenly Star Sword, fall!"

However, Bai Mo did not give them any chance to escape. As the decree fell, the magnificent rock sword in the air immediately began to fall!

Rumble! ...

The airflow was punctured, emitting a mighty dragon roar. The huge rock sword in the air, like an asteroid falling from outer space, crashed down with what appeared to be slow speed but was actually fast.

The speed was so fast that even the judges had not anticipated it.

They immediately deployed their respective defenses, but under this immense and powerful force, they shattered like eggshells.

A celestial star fell and plunged straight into the basin, its upright hilt level with the mountain peaks outside the basin.

The intense shockwave, carrying gales and debris, resembled a steel storm, a hail of bullets, sweeping across the entire basin.

Those mages who were lucky enough to survive the falling stars all perished in the terrifying aftershocks of the magic.

Beside Bai Mo, Qing Ye stared wide-eyed at the scene in utter disbelief.

"You...you didn't kill all of our people too, did you?" (End of Chapter)
