Chapter 125 Arrangements for the Trial
"Based on the story my teacher told me, I suspect that the Black Vatican had some purpose in destroying Bo City, and the disaster in Bo City is very likely related to this history of the Guardians. To understand the truth of this matter, we need to search in a tomb, but that tomb is inhabited by extremely terrifying undead creatures, and to this day, not many magicians have dared to truly step into that mysterious tomb."
"You mean the ancient capital's tombs, right?" Jiang Han said calmly.
Ye Xinxia nodded and said, "Yes, the ancient capital's tomb has an extremely long history. The entrance to the tomb was discovered by some hunter mages many years ago. However, the undead creatures inside the tomb are ten or even a hundred times more ferocious than demons. Many archaeological mages who wanted to explore the tomb returned empty-handed because of the undead creatures that were determined to protect the tomb. Later, the government leaders of the ancient capital considered that it was too dangerous there, so they listed it as a restricted area and no longer allowed mages to enter."
Meanwhile, at Lingyin Temple in Songcheng, a trial was held.
An elderly man with a holy sword emblem on his chest sat solemnly in a high position, glancing at the documents on the table. He said, "The Sand Tiger rampage, the snake clan's overrun in Thousand Island Lake, and the Three Pools Barrier starting to weaken—this world is becoming increasingly turbulent."
"Tang Yue, the Three Pools Barrier is under your care. Now the barrier is weakening, and you need to deal with this situation as soon as possible."
"Yes, Your Honor." Tang Yue looked up, revealing her exquisite face.
If Jiang Han were here, he would definitely feel that Tang Yue has become even more charming and beautiful, like a ripe peach, but perhaps because of her position in the Tribunal, she still has a heroic air about her.
"But the matter of the Fountain of Madness hasn't been resolved yet. Are we just going to let that Black Vatican member who contacted Chao He get away with it?" Tang Yue wanted to grind that guy to dust just thinking about Chao He. If it weren't for him, her innocence, which she had protected for over a decade, wouldn't have been given to that brat.
The old man said calmly, "I have other plans for this matter. The Black Vatican keeps creating trouble, and we can't just let them lead us by the nose. We can't always try to fix things after the fact. We need to make arrangements one step ahead of them and stabilize the barrier first so that the disaster in Bo City won't happen again. Salang seems to still be obsessed with the Earthly Holy Spring. After you stabilize the Three Pools Barrier, keep a close eye on the two children who protected the Earthly Holy Spring. Salang might turn his attention to those two children."
"Sarang is going to make a move against them?" Tang Yue's expression shifted slightly.
The old man stepped down from his high position and gently patted Tang Yue on the shoulder, saying, "Well, this is also an opportunity. We might be able to catch many of the hidden members of the Black Vatican in one fell swoop. If we can capture the key figures among them, it will greatly help our work in the future."
Tang Yue fell silent. This was an opportunity for their trial council, but not necessarily for Jiang Han and Mo Fan.
Forget it, I'll call that brat when I get back and give him a heads-up, so he doesn't die without knowing why.
Jiang Han and Ye Xinxia had just returned home when Jiang Han received a call from Tang Yue, which surprised him. He had sent Tang Yue a lot of messages recently, but she hadn't even bothered to reply. How could he not be surprised that she was calling him now?
"Hey, Ms. Tang Yue, what brings you here? Or are you still hung up on me?" Jiang Han said with a grin.
"Get lost (ノ｀Д)ノ, if you dare mention that again, I'll chop you up, you brat." Tang Yue's angry voice came from the phone. Jiang Han actually dared to bring up that matter, which made Tang Yue so angry that she almost went berserk on the spot.
Tang Yue wondered if she had destroyed the world in her past life to encounter a rebellious disciple like Jiang Han.
"Actually, I said I would take responsibility, and I will keep my word no matter what you think," Jiang Han said seriously.
Tang Yue was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone before slowly saying, "I'm calling to tell you that you and that kid Mo Fan are being targeted by the Black Vatican. They might make a move against you, so be careful during this time."
"Are you worried about me?" Jiang Han asked calmly.
"You're overthinking it. I just don't want talented students to die at the hands of the Black Vatican. Alright, I've said what I needed to say. Whether you survive or not depends on your luck." Tang Yue hung up the phone immediately after speaking.
Looking at the phone that had just been hung up, Jiang Han smiled. He could sense Tang Yue's worry from the conversation, but she was just being stubborn and unwilling to admit it.
Jiang Han had a very comfortable winter break, spending his time shopping and watching movies with Ye Xinxia, or visiting various attractions in Songcheng. As for cultivation, that was out of the question. Mo Jiaxing called twice during the break, both times to ask how Ye Xinxia was doing in Songcheng. It has to be said that Mo Jiaxing was a very responsible adoptive father. Mo Fan also called, but Jiang Han hung up on him after only a few words.
During the winter break, Xia never neglected her cultivation. She played around with Jiang Han during the day and diligently cultivated at night.
Ye Xinxia's cultivation speed was not slow, but Jiang Han still felt it was not enough, so he spent a lot of system points to buy materials to upgrade the Stardust Magic Artifact he had given Ye Xinxia to a Nebula Magic Artifact, which greatly improved Ye Xinxia's cultivation speed.
As the winter break was drawing to a close, Ye Xinxia successfully broke through to the intermediate level, which made her happy for a long time.
After the winter break ended, Jiang Han sent Ye Xinxia back to school and then returned to Shanghai. After returning to Shanghai, Jiang Han first went to the city's monster hunting team to report for duty, and then went to the Qingtian Hunting Center to see if there were any commissions that could earn him extra money.
Jiang Han hasn't had a proper fight since his strength reached the advanced level. Only through constant battles can he improve his strength faster. If he doesn't receive any commissions or bounties, he'll have to go to other departments' challenge tournaments at the end of the month. He just doesn't know if the other departments will welcome him.
As soon as Jiang Han entered the Qingtian Hunting Grounds, he heard Mo Fan's lazy voice, "Lingling, why haven't you made any requests yet? I'm so bored these days." Mo Fan lazily leaned on the table and called out to Lingling, who was enjoying her milk tea.
Lingling said nonchalantly, "No business, no business. What can I do? You guys start school tomorrow, so you won't be bored after school starts."
"School's back and it's still just eating, training, and sleeping every day, it's so boring. I haven't fought in so long, I feel really uneasy," Mo Fan complained, slumped over the table.
"Since you're so bored, why don't we go to the school's training ground and practice? I'm getting a little itchy to play too," Jiang Han said casually.
Jiang Han's sudden words startled Mo Fan. Upon seeing that it was Jiang Han, he exclaimed in shock, "Holy crap, weren't you in Songcheng with Xin Xia? Why are you back?"
"You think I wanted to come back? I wouldn't have bothered coming back if Xinxia hadn't started school," Jiang Han said, pursing his lips.
As he spoke, he pulled up a stool and sat down next to Lingling, idly scrolling through his phone while lying on the table. Just as the three of them were about to lie down, Old Man Bao walked over with a power of attorney.
"Is there work coming?" Mo Fan asked excitedly, looking up.
Old Bao placed the letter of authorization on the table with a strange expression and said, "The authorization is simple, but the matter is a bit complicated. You should take a look at it yourselves."
Lingling put down her milk tea and picked up the letter of authorization that the old man had placed on the table, while Mo Fan also leaned over to read it.
"We've taken on many commissioned tasks, but this is the first time I've ever seen one like this," Lingling said in surprise.
P.S.: I should be able to resume two updates a day tomorrow. Please vote and give me a reward, thank you.
