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

Chapter 83 The Great Battle is Coming: The Undead Empire vs. the Shadow Legion!

Asha'ruya turned her back and left without a second thought.

Upon reaching the door, she paused, turned back, and asked with interest:

"Councilor Cheng, you should be appearing on the stage of the competition for world-class universities, right?"

"Of course," Cheng Xiao nodded in agreement.

"See you on the field then." After saying this, Asha's figure disappeared into the shadows and vanished.

"Brother Cheng, you're being watched," Mo Fan said.

"Never mind all that nonsense." Cheng Xiao shook his head and looked at Han Ji:

"Chairman Han, order the arrest of Salang."

Han Ji nodded:

"I've already notified my men to take action. There are only a handful of female high-ranking officials in the ancient capital. Unless Salang is on guard beforehand, she won't be able to escape!"

Cheng Xiao frowned. Salang's methods were endless and unpredictable. If only they were that easy to capture.

Sure enough, a royal guard mage soon came to report:

"Guild Master, Elder Ling Xi of the Hunter's Alliance has already escaped using a spatial magic array!"

"Ling Xi, it could actually be her?!" Han Ji frowned deeply.

"I didn't expect Salan to be so vigilant. She noticed us as soon as we set out."

Salam preferred to orchestrate events from behind the scenes, and the guillotine plan in the original work was the closest the trial ever came to Salam himself.

That incident was completely unexpected, as Salam had never anticipated that his disciple Blue Bat would betray him.

This time, Salang likely already knew about the deployment of the Imperial Guard mages, as Salang had many informants in the ancient capital.

"What a pity, this one close call with Salang, and she managed to escape!"

As Han Ji was feeling sentimental, a powerful aura suddenly entered his senses.

"They are my undead soldiers," Cheng Xiao said.

"Your Majesty, the man has been captured."

Bell was carrying a man wearing a blue trench coat.

When everyone saw the man's face clearly, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou exclaimed in shock:

"Mu He?!"

"This person is Mu He!" Han Ji had never met Mu He before, which was somewhat unbelievable.

Han Ji glanced at Mu He, then looked at Cheng Xiao.

"When I was in Huacun, I searched Hong Jun's memories. He was Mu He's informant, and I found a way to contact Mu He from his memories," Cheng Xiao explained.

This was only partly true; Cheng Xiao did not search Hong Jun's memories.

Instead, Hong Jun, disguised as a shadow soldier, took Bell directly to find Mu He, who was hiding in the shadows and controlling the whole situation!

"Good! Well done!" Han Ji exclaimed excitedly.

"It's probably fate that Councilor Cheng came to our aid during this catastrophe; Heaven hasn't forsaken our ancient capital!"

"Leave the remnants of the Black Vatican left in the ancient capital to me," Cheng Xiao said.

"Do you need me to send in a royal guard mage to assist?"

"No need, I can manage on my own."

"."

If Salang was the mastermind behind the catastrophe in the ancient capital, then Muhe was the mastermind behind it.

As Salang's right-hand man, Muhe controlled all the information about the Black Church in the ancient capital.

For this grand event, Salang dispatched many people dressed in blue to secretly assist.

Finding these rats hiding in the shadows was no challenge for Bell at all.

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

All residents of the outer city of the ancient capital were ordered to take refuge in the inner city in order to minimize casualties.

All the battle mages gathered in the northern city area within a single night.

"Gentlemen, I am very pleased that you have stood up for the ancient capital."

Han Ji bowed to Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and the others.

Those who possess the bloodline of the ancient king and are willing to enter the Abyss of Evil have been selected.

They will be the last hope for the ancient capital.

If we cannot stop the ancient king from reviving and prevent Sha Yuan from moving to the inner city, then the entire ancient capital will be destroyed!

Zhang Xiaohou and the others seemed somewhat at a loss when faced with Han Ji's bow, never expecting to be treated in such a way by such an important figure as Han Ji.

But upon closer reflection, one can understand how heavy that bow truly was.

Only by succeeding can the ancient capital be preserved.

If we fail, the entire ancient capital will be completely destroyed. This is an imperial war that will be recorded in history!

The entire fighting force of the ancient capital has been gathered here, which means that they have given everything and are almost betting everything!

"To be able to fight against the empire created by the human emperor more than two thousand years ago, I would have no regrets in this life!"

Those with a better mindset, like Zhu Meng, would burst into hearty laughter.

Among those present, those like Zhu Meng were usually in the minority, since no one wanted to actually die.

But even in the face of a war of this scale, no one backed down!

"Councilor Cheng!" a guard monk said respectfully.

Everyone looked over and saw that it was Cheng Xiao, who had arrived late.

Most battle mages were still unfamiliar with Cheng Xiao, but no one said anything at this moment.

The higher-ups were all aware of Cheng Xiao's actions and were all scrutinizing this newly promoted young councilor with different perspectives.

"The remnants of the Black Vatican left in the ancient capital have all been dealt with," Cheng Xiao said.

"Councilor Cheng, you created an incredible miracle with the totem serpent last time. I wonder if another miracle will happen this time?" Zhu Meng asked with a smile.

"It will happen." Cheng Xiao smiled and looked at Han Ji:

"President, let me be the vanguard."

"Okay." Han Ji naturally knew what Cheng Xiao had done in Songcheng, and agreed without worry.

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

The sun has risen in the east, its warm and gentle sunlight falling upon the desolate land of the dead.

The dead, who should have feared the sunlight, miraculously revived in broad daylight!

The dead did not fall silent because of the light; even those who did not possess the aura of death could move in the sunlight.

All of this was due to the rain that fell from the sky, a rain called "Dew of the Nine Netherworlds".

"As expected, the scene I least wanted to see has still happened," Hunter King Du Xiao couldn't help but say.

The great war between the ancient capital and the Sha Yuan Undead Empire has finally arrived.

I wish this were all a nightmare.

On the northern outer city wall, Cheng Xiao walked towards the group of dead walking under the sunlight and drizzle.

Strangely, every time Cheng Xiao walked a certain distance, the nearby undead would die inexplicably.

The rainy night felt oppressive and gloomy, and the presence of the dead walking in the sunlight only added to the oppressive atmosphere, making it hard to breathe!

Soon, Cheng Xiao had reached a distance of one kilometer from the city wall.

At this distance, in just half a minute, we'll probably be engulfed by that dark mass of undead.

"The undead are coming soon, why hasn't he made a move yet?" Hunter King Du Xiao frowned.

"They're probably preparing something."

Zhu Meng was also puzzled. If they wanted to summon undead soldiers, they should have done so long ago.

Even if you're summoning a horde of undead, you shouldn't travel that far; the area is already large enough!

Han Ji stared at Cheng Xiao's retreating figure, remaining silent.

On the city wall, almost everyone was watching that shadowy figure in the rainy night.

Suddenly, the shadow of that figure stretched infinitely backward, expanding...
