Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 232 Black Church: I'm ready for everything

With Tang Yue around, the group was able to identify information much faster.

Half a day later, Xu Shen and others had a general understanding of the changes in the ancient capital in recent times.

Signs of frequent ghost activities in the ancient capital probably began in October last year.

However, people didn't take it seriously at that time.

This is because the undead creatures cannot move during the day, and as the summer solstice has passed, the days in China gradually become shorter and the nights longer, and the activities of the undead creatures will gradually become more frequent, often around the winter solstice, which is the time when the undead creatures are most active. This is how we have been through this in previous years, and all we need to do is be on high alert, it's an old tradition.

However, when the time came to the beginning of December, a major event occurred near the ancient capital - Sha Yuan descended upon Xianchi!
Xianchi is very close to the ancient capital.

Xianchi fell, and the ancient capital was shocked.

The Sha Yuan's attack on human cities has never happened before!

Even if you are slow, you should have discovered the problem.

The ancient capital responded quickly and immediately sent a group of military magicians to rescue.

However, there has been no news of this group of military mages. Since then, the undead creatures sleeping underground have begun to wake up frequently, and the ancient capital has no time to take care of other things.

As time passed, people in the ancient capital became panic-stricken, and those with a keen sense of smell fled at the first sign of trouble.

The Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance could no longer sit still and ordered a city closure, making it so that people could only enter but not leave the ancient capital. While they sought external assistance, they controlled public opinion internally and appeased the people.

It was in this context that Zhu Meng brought Tang Yue and others to the ancient capital.

Over the past month, they have basically been standing on the city walls fighting the undead at night and falling asleep during the day. They are almost becoming night owls with inverted circadian rhythms.

After Tang Yue finished speaking, she yawned, rubbed her sore eyes, and rubbed off the eye shadow that covered her dark circles without realizing it.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. We received a transfer order this morning. All the forbidden spell mages stationed in the ancient capital have gone to the Dongting Lake Tribe. This is a secret order. You must not spread it out."

"What? Going to Dongting?!"

Xu Shen stood up and said, "The situation is so serious, but they still transferred the Forbidden Spell Master away. Are the decision makers in the ancient capital crazy?"

"We can't help it. This is an order from the Forbidden Spell Society," Tang Yue explained. "The Forbidden Spell Society believes that the biggest problem facing the ancient capital right now is that there are too many undead creatures, not that they are too powerful. Super-class mages and military mages sent from all over the country are enough to handle the situation."

Xu Shen said anxiously, "There are nearly 50 registered forbidden spell masters in the country. Why pick someone from anywhere else? Why did you choose someone from the ancient capital?"

Tang Yue said, "According to reliable information, there is an emperor behind the beast tide in Dongting Lake, and the situation there is far more dangerous and complicated than here. A battle at the level of forbidden spells can easily destroy the heavens and the earth. The Dongting Lake tribe is too close to the human base city, and the forbidden spell society means that they should not fight if they can. Therefore, they plan to mobilize at least 20 forbidden spell mages to suppress the enemy and defeat the enemy without fighting as much as possible. Not to mention the ancient capital, almost all the forbidden spell mages in the country have received the transfer order."

Xu Shen frowned. If he was not from the perspective of a reborn person, there would be nothing wrong with the Forbidden Spell Society’s decision.

However, the only possibility that the evil spirit would come was overlooked.

That is the Shayuan, a forbidden place where there is no possibility of survival!

That thing is also called the Abyss of Hell. Of course, some people called it the Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses before, but since our understanding of it has become more comprehensive and in-depth, the name "Pit of Ten Thousand Corpses" has been abandoned because it is too unfair.

Just hearing the name is enough to tell how terrifying it is.

According to those who were fortunate enough to witness it, the Shayuan was like a black cloud that stretched for tens of millions of miles and darkened the sky and the earth.

Looking up, it was filled with densely packed and terrifying zombies, undead spirits, and evil spirits.

Mountains of broken limbs and skulls were wriggling in the dark cloud, and their scarlet evil pupils were densely packed.

They struggled and roared, they were filled with resentment, they were like a pot of boiling soup pouring down, making one's scalp tingle and one's body covered with goose bumps just by looking at them. From then on, they would be accompanied by an eternal nightmare, and even death would not bring them peace.

Fortunately, there has never been a record of Shayuan invading human cities since its birth.

However, today, the demise of Xianchi has shattered mankind’s wishful thinking.

Especially since all the forbidden spell wizards have left the ancient capital, such an opportunity may not come once even after waiting for several years.

No wonder the ancient city fell in the previous life. There must be other unknown reasons that caused the Forbidden Spell Master to be temporarily transferred away, giving the Black Church the opportunity to take action.

An experienced hunter not only has the patience to wait for the opportunity, but also the determination to seize it! It must not be a coincidence that the evil abyss descended on Xianchi only one month after the Dongting beast tide broke out.

Perhaps the Black Church foresaw the inevitability of the ancient capital's forbidden spell wizards leaving because of the Dongting Beast Tide incident.

But it takes a very far-sighted person to make such a prediction.

Xu Shen was more willing to believe that the Black Church had extended its tentacles to the Forbidden Spell Society, which was how it obtained this top-secret information.

These things are terrifying and chilling when you think about them carefully.

The ability to control the drift trajectory of Shayuan has been verified in Xianchi.

The forbidden spell wizard stationed in the ancient capital has also left.

In this way, everything is ready, even the east wind is not bad.

Xu Shen exhaled a foul breath and said heavily, "The Black Church is about to take action."

Tang Yue forced a smile and said, "You are not kidding."

The disappearance of Xianchi is a lesson for us.

If the evil abyss really comes, will the ancient capital become a lesson for future events?
"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Xu Shen sighed, opened the door and took the food brought by the delivery boy.

All three remained silent.

The dire situation in the ancient capital made everyone lose the mood to even talk.

Xu Shen racked his brains to recall the outcome of the catastrophe in the ancient capital in the previous life.

However, he was not an eyewitness, and all his memories of this period were obtained from major media and chat groups among classmates, so the details are not clear.

He only knew that after the catastrophe, although the ancient capital suffered heavy losses, the evil abyss was properly resolved, and Mo Fan also entered the vision of the Shenzhou high-level officials for the first time and was hailed as the great hero who saved the ancient capital.

But in this life, the catastrophe of the ancient capital occurred nearly a year earlier than in the previous life. At this time, Mo Fan had just been rescued by the military mages who went to Dongting Lake to suppress the beast tide, ending his months of life as a savage.

Without Mo Fan, what should Sha Yuan do?
Xu Shen was frowning, and the ancient capital's specialty snack, mutton soup with steamed buns, no longer smelled good.

He wolfed down the food in a few mouthfuls and planned to go out to look for clues.

"Going out at this time?" Ding Yumian put down his chopsticks, somewhat puzzled.

"That black-robed man had to invite me to the ancient capital at this time. It couldn't be just to let me taste mutton soup steamed buns, could it?"

Ding Yumian thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you."

"I am coming too!"

Tang Yue lifted her hair and sat up straight.

Xu Shen shook his head and refused.

It was obvious from Tang Yue's condition that she hadn't had a good rest for a long time. A fierce battle was about to begin, so she had to get enough rest.

"Yumian, take Sister Tangyue back to the hotel to rest."

Ding Yumian thought about it and agreed.

As her cultivation level deepens, the influence of her talent as a victim becomes stronger and stronger. Except for those with strong spiritual power like Xu Shen, it is difficult for others not to be affected. If they follow her, they will cause trouble again.

"Be careful, the location will be sent every ten minutes," Ding Yumian reminded with some concern before leaving.

"Roger that!"
