Full-Time Magister: A Hellish Start, But the Shadow King

Chapter 72 A hidden prey awaits; to kill someone is to destroy their spirit!

"Don't be afraid, she won't hurt us, trust me!" the white-clothed man quickly told the group.

Hearing her words, everyone was skeptical; it would be a lie to say that one wouldn't be afraid when facing a powerful creature.

The white-clothed man took the initiative to talk to her, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Flame Witch had not harmed him and was even exchanging pleasantries with him.

"Is the creature guarding the Fire Calamity Fruit such a powerful being?" Chen Ying was taken aback.

"Could it be that Mother already has a way to obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit?"

At this moment, the white-clothed man ended the conversation and returned to his daughter, speaking through telepathy:

"My dear daughter, I never expected to meet you at the North Corner of Zhuoyuan. Perhaps this is fate's arrangement."

"That fire witch is very powerful, but Mother already has a way to deal with her. All she has to do is stab this magical artifact into her body."

As the white-clothed man spoke, he placed a shrunken magical artifact in Chen Ying's hand.

Chenying stared blankly at her mother, at a loss for what to do.

"Don't be afraid, you have a special constitution; the Flame Witch's flames can't harm you," the white-clothed man continued.

"My dear daughter, believe in your mother! Do you really want to see your mother spend the rest of her life looking like this, neither human nor ghost?"

Hearing her mother's words, Chenying finally softened and was used as a pawn.

..............................

Cheng Xiao was hiding not far away.

The Chaos-type's signature skill, "Invisibility," is so powerful that even a sub-monarch level being like the Flame Witch cannot detect it.

Of course, the main reason is that Cheng Xiao has already mastered the "Dominator's Power", so he can deceive even the orthodox monarch level.

"Your Majesty, the power of that fire creature seems to have exceeded my current capabilities," Bell said.

"If it comes to war, I can try to negotiate."

"Keep watching."

Cheng Xiao shook his head, showing no intention of making a move.

Cheng Xiao doesn't deny that he has many personal motives towards the Flame Witch.

If I were to go out and expose everything like this, I would at most gain a favor.

The Flame Witch was too kind; Cheng Xiao didn't think her kindness was particularly fickle, but it wasn't enough.

There's nothing wrong with being kind, but sometimes you have to be ruthless.

A hundred words from a person are useless; a single act of teaching will truly touch one's heart.

..............................

Following the white cloth man's instructions, Chen Ying slowly walked towards the Flame Witch.

Upon seeing Chen Ying's actions, the Flame Witch was taken aback, recalling that the white-clothed man seemed to have said something to Chen Ying earlier.

Could it be that the other party has already told Chenying her true identity?

As Chen Ying stepped into the Flame Witch's domain, the flame domain receded slightly with each step she took.

The scene before them left Zhao Yulin and his group completely dumbfounded.

Even Chenying herself was baffled. Could it be, as her mother said, that she really had some kind of special constitution?!

Zhao Yulin was also excited. It turned out that the white-clothed man had planned everything out and had it all under control!

Chen Ying had already walked up to the Flame Witch, who seemed somewhat at a loss in the face of her daughter.

Just as the Flame Witch was about to open her arms to embrace her daughter whom she hadn't seen for over a decade, a chill pierced her chest!

The Flame Witch's eyes widened, her face, whose features were vaguely discernible, filled with disbelief.

After Chen Ying plunged the magical artifact into the Flame Witch's chest, she took several steps back.

The Flame Witch looked down and saw a sharp magical weapon embedded in her chest.

The excruciating pain was something a creature of her level could easily adapt to.

However, this magical artifact was accompanied by a chilling poison that almost suppressed and sealed all the fire power within her body!

"This was specially prepared to seal your flames," the white-clothed man sneered, then shouted:

"My magical artifact 'Frost Iron Spikes' can only seal her for ten minutes. What are you waiting for? Go get your stuff!"

Zhao Yulin and the rest of the team behind him came to their senses and quickly got to work.

Led by Zhao Yulin, the Zhao family's team rushed up the slope to plunder resources from the Starry Sky Tree!

It should be noted that the Star Language Tree possesses immense energy; even though it is nearly withered, it can still trigger a cataclysmic fire.

Even the residual energy can nurture the entire North Corner of the Scorching Plains!

Furthermore, the Star Language Tree contains a large number of Flame Treasures, and even high-quality Flame Crystals for making Soul Seeds!

Some of those resources were produced by the Star Language Tree, while others were found by the Flame Witch from elsewhere.

These were originally intended as milk powder for the unborn Yan Ji, but now they have been greedily plundered by Zhao Yulin and his gang!

Whether it was the White Cloth Man's ingratitude or her father's greedy nature, both were impacting Chenying's values.

She stood there, bewildered, even beginning to doubt herself, wondering if what she had done was right or wrong.

"The Fire-Calamity Fruit. I've finally got you! I can finally regain my appearance!"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

The white-clothed man excitedly held the Fire Calamity Fruit in his hands, a hideous smile spreading across his face.

"Your ugly face and filthy heart are quite a match, so why bother going to all that trouble to hide them?"

At that moment, a voice echoed around, stopping everyone from displaying the ugliness of human nature.

"Who's there?! Playing tricks, come out!"

The white-clothed man cautiously put away the Flame Fruit, activated his senses, and finally locked onto Chen Ying's back.

"It's you."

Chenying recognized the person; it was Cheng Xiao, whom she had been searching for all along.

"Bell, do it."

As soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, a shadow darted out from behind him and rushed towards the white-clothed man.

The speed was so astonishing that even the white-clothed man with powerful mental strength could barely catch a glimpse of that afterimage.

"Stop it! Stop it!"

The man in white shouted and then used the high-level curse magic "Ghost Punishment" to protect himself.

Behind her appeared a dark, gloomy hill, like an executioner crawling out of hell!

But this high-level curse magic was utterly laughable in front of Bell.

Bell also possesses the same curse power!

Yay yay~~~~

Bell's cursed roar forcefully shattered the ghostly punishment, even plunging the spellcaster, Bai Buren, into a brief moment of fear.

Bell did not attack the white-clothed woman directly, but instead, following the king's orders, snatched the Fire Calamity Fruit from her.

To kill someone, you must first destroy their spirit.

"No, my Fire Calamity Fruit! Give it back to me!" The man in white cloth came to his senses, his expression changing drastically.

She had been planning for this Fire Calamity Fruit for over a decade, how could it be stolen by this suddenly appearing thing?

But her anger was nothing more than a helpless rage as she watched Bell return to Cheng Xiao's side.

"Your Majesty!" Bell handed the Fire Calamity Fruit to Cheng Xiao as if presenting a trophy.

Cheng Xiao held the Fire Calamity Fruit, without any other thoughts.

Under the pleading gaze of the Flame Witch, Cheng Xiao used his 'Dominator's Power' to pull the 'Cold Iron Spikes' from her body.
