Chapter 102 That Damned Deceased Emperor
"Good morning, Chief Instructor!" Jiang Li immediately stood up straight and gave Feijiao a special salute.
Feijiao returned the salute, then ignored Jiang Li's attempt to curry favor and went straight to Lu Jie and the others.
"To be honest, I really admire you two. Almost everyone knows that the Abyss of Evil has appeared there, so no one goes there for at least a year. But you two went and even brought my student back..." Feijiao said.
"I didn't know at the time, I just went to look for it anyway," Mo Fan said with an embarrassed smile.
Feijiao smiled and shook his head, saying to them, "Zhang Xiaohou has mentioned you two to me more than once. His recognition and admiration for you two surpasses that of this instructor and teacher. But you two are indeed extraordinary. I have heard about many of your deeds."
At the same time, he also reached out and shook hands with Lu Jie and Mo Fan.
This left many mid-level mages and a few high-level mages present quite puzzled. It's one thing for you to know Councilor Zhu Meng, but how come you also know Chief Instructor Fei Jiao?
Immediately, many envious and displeased glances were cast over.
Feijiao steered the conversation back to the main topic, picking up where Zhu Meng left off and addressing the group: "The second time the Fiend Abyss appeared more than a hundred kilometers from the city, unfortunately, one of my students was there and nearly lost his life... And this third time, it appeared only thirty kilometers from this outer city wall, a place that would have been considered the outskirts of the city in the past!"
"Getting closer each time!"
"Yes, it's getting closer and closer each time, getting closer and closer to our current city..."
"Isn't the Abyss of Fiends characterized by spatial uncertainty? Could it be a coincidence?"
"We also hope it's a coincidence, but considering these three instances, we have to consider some things," said a military officer standing next to Zhu Meng.
"You summoned us here, could it be to resist the Abyss of Fiends? The Abyss of Fiends is utterly impossible to resist, especially since we are just mid-level mages!"
"Where the Abyss of Fiends has appeared, a dense aura of death will remain. It will likely be long before many warrior-level and commander-level undead gather here... I hope that everyone here can stay here on the city wall tonight. If any undead approach this place, you must eliminate them!" Zhu Meng said loudly.
"As long as I'm not going to explore the Abyss of Evil, I'll be perfectly fine!"
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, while we may not be able to contend with the vast Abyss of Fiends, if any undead or demons take advantage of this to wreak havoc, we will certainly eradicate them. This is the sacred duty of us mages!"
"I'm fine with that too, I'm willing to keep watch all night!"
"Count me in..."
"And me!"
Upon hearing that they were not going to cause trouble for Sha Yuan, the monks all breathed a sigh of relief.
Since everyone here is here, most of them probably want to destroy the Undead King Crystal. They are just guarding it, which is nothing to them.
"Roar—!"
Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the north.
Councilor Zhu Meng, Chief Instructor of Flying Horn, and Lu Xu, Commander-in-Chief of the Northern City Wall, all turned around with a change in expression, their eyes wide with horror as they stared at the dark, gigantic shadow in the distance...
"It's that damned thing again! It's trying to use the death energy brought by the Abyss of Fiends to gather more undead and break through the north wall in one fell swoop!" Zhu Meng slammed his fist on the wall and said angrily.
"This is terrible! This tyrant already commands an army of millions of undead, and now with the Abyss of Fiends, it will be unstoppable. We must request reinforcements again!" said Staff Officer Zhu.
"It's already very difficult to redeploy personnel," Lu Xu said in a deep voice.
"Our forces are limited, but the undead are endless. If we don't last until tonight, the north city wall will be completely breached by this guy, and then the north city will be a sea of blood!" Feijiao said.
"It seems we have no choice but to carry out the plan we formulated earlier," Zhu Meng said, frowning.
"Sir, this is far too dangerous. We could easily get trapped in the undead army," said Staff Officer Zhu.
"Chief of Staff Zhu, the city where I, Zhu Meng, am stationed will never allow a demon to cause trouble. We do not have enough troops to resist this large-scale gathering of the undead, but we have the opportunity to kill this king of the dead!" Zhu Meng said righteously.
"No, absolutely not! If you fail, the entire north city wall will be in chaos!" Staff Officer Zhu firmly opposed the three of them risking their lives.
"Do you have a better idea?" Zhu Meng asked in return.
"...There will always be one."
"In less than an hour, they will appear within three kilometers of the city wall," Zhu Meng said.
"That won't do either." Staff Officer Zhu showed no intention of backing down.
"How about I join you?" At this moment, a man with sword-like eyebrows wearing a black long-haired veil walked out, with a calm yet confident smile on his face.
Everyone's eyes fell on the newcomer, and many recognized him.
"The Hunter King!"
"Lord Hunter, when did you arrive in the ancient capital?"
"Who is this guy? Why do you all call him the Hunter King?" A mage from the Magic Association nudged the hunter mage next to him.
The hunter mage said, "You don't even recognize Hunter King Du Xiao? He's a renowned expert on the Xuan Ranking..."
"Oh, so it was him."
The demonic man following the Hunter King Du Xiao noticed Lu Jie and Mo Fan, approached them, and said with a smile, "Tired of killing demons? How about a change of pace?"
"That's the idea," Lu Jie said.
"I've only come to the ancient capital once, and I've already run into so many familiar faces," Mo Fan said with a shrug.
"Now that the ancient capital is plagued by a cholera epidemic among the dead, how could we busybodies not gather here?" the demonic man said.
"We're just here for tourism, so we wish you a safe and successful trip," Mo Fan said directly.
"No way, you guys..." Zhou Min looked at them with great disappointment.
"Hmph, I thought they were so powerful, but they're just cowards. They're not worthy of being a mage at all!" Jiang Li suddenly became arrogant, feeling like he was a whole level above them.
"If you babble again, I'll kick you out of here!" Mo Fan never tolerated petty people and said coldly to Jiang Li.
Lu Jie looked impatient. Why is it that no matter where he goes, there are always people like this who jump out and try to make their presence known? Could it be that he has been with Mo Fan for too long and has picked up his kind of constitution?
Wherever I go, I'm ridiculed.
"Alright, alright, everyone has their own ideas, there's no need to force it," Zhong Zishan said.
At this moment, the demon man laughed.
"What are you laughing at!" Jiang Li's face turned pale and then red as she shouted at the demon man in annoyance.
The effeminate man was still laughing when he finally said to Jiang Li, "Little Fatty, you should be glad there are people around. Otherwise, these two ruthless guys would have just thrown you down instead of just talking to you."
