Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 244: Premonition of the City's Destruction
Zhu Meng's plan was successful.

The four lived up to everyone's expectations and really killed this ghost tyrant who brought endless pressure to people.

The undead gradually collapsed as they had no leader.

This difficult night is gradually becoming brighter.

"Senator Zhu, for some reason all the plumbing pipes in the city have exploded," a military magician suddenly came to report in panic.

The ancient capital is extremely cold in winter. If there is no heating, it would be okay for the mages, but ordinary people would definitely be furious.

"Go find Han Ji, I'm busy," Zhu Meng waved his hands impatiently.

Although the Ghost Tyrant is dead, the undead spirits all over the mountains should not be underestimated.

The defense force of the North City is insufficient, and he has to stay in command, so how can he take care of such a small matter.

Finally, the first ray of sunlight broke free from the darkness and stepped onto the horizon.

The endless red glow in the east made the tired people cheer.

Just as everyone was about to walk down the city wall, in the hazy morning mist, the undead creatures that should have dispersed were still there, and they continued to attack the city wall!

"Did I see it wrong?!"

The short man rubbed his eyes and jumped up several times. He looked over and over again but still couldn't believe it.

……

The morning light shines on the dome, and the Clock Tower Magic Association shrouded in mist always has a majestic and solemn feeling.

As the president of the Magic Association, Han Ji was under a lot of pressure during this period as the ancient capital was in chaos.

The battle to defend the North City has just ended.

Shayuan is less than thirty kilometers away from the ancient capital.

There are calls for help from all directions, but there are only so many magicians. It is too difficult to coordinate and ensure the safety of this thousand-year-old capital.

Especially now, do we have to ask him even about something as trivial as a broken plumbing pipe?
Han Ji suppressed his anger and carefully thought about tonight's deployment.

At this moment, a mysterious man wrapped himself in a gray robe, revealing only a pair of bright eyes.

"Is there any new information?" Han Ji asked.

"I might have been exposed."

"what?"

Han Ji couldn't sit still anymore.

"My middleman has been missing for four days."

Han Ji was puzzled: "What does that have to do with you?"

"I have a single line of contact with him, and I am the only one who knows his identity. If the Black Church attacks him, then there are only two possibilities: either he is exposed, or I am exposed."

"how do you want to do it?"

"Don't hesitate, the decapitation plan is imperative."

Han Ji frowned.

The situation in the ancient capital is so serious that every super-class magician is indispensable.

However, the destructive power of the Black Church lurking among them is also extremely serious.

This dilemma has made him hesitate for a long time.

After a long while, Han Ji exhaled a breath and said, "Have you found evidence that the high-level officials in the ancient capital have the Black Church lurking?"

"Nothing was found," the gray-white man said, "The last news the middleman gave me was that the Black Church had wiped out all traces of them. It was very clean."

The gray-white man's words made Han Ji feel relieved for some reason.

The beheading plan was too crazy. Even he did not dare to act arbitrarily without solid evidence.

Now that there is no empirical evidence, there is room for discussion as to whether to implement it.

"You don't believe me?" asked the gray-white man.

"You and I naturally believe it, but the person who gave you the news," Han Ji paused and said, "if it is false news deliberately released by the Black Church in order to tie our own hands, what should we do?"

The gray-white man was silent and looked at Han Ji with some disappointment.

At this moment, a man in a black robe suddenly appeared in the office: "If I were you, I would definitely carry out his plan."

"Who is it?" Han Ji shouted. In this day and age, could anyone sneak into his office without making any noise?
What do those royal guards do for a living?

"It's me," the man in black robe lifted his hood.

Han Ji's pupils shrank slightly: "It's you? You're not dead?"

The man in black robes showed a mocking look on his face: "If I don't want to die, do they really think they can kill me?"

“Take this thing and take a good look at it. It’s been penetrated like a sieve and you don’t even know it,” the man in black laughed sarcastically and threw out a bottle of water.

Han Ji asked doubtfully: "What is this?"

"Nine Nether Dew, something that allows the undead to move during the day."

"What!!"

Han Ji was horrified.

No one understood the seriousness of this matter better than him.

Just appearing at night has put this thousand-year-old city in danger.

What should they do if the attack occurs day or night?

"Report!"

At this moment, a guard wizard with blood all over his face rushed into the office and said anxiously: "Mr. Speaker, I don't know why the undead have not retreated at dawn, and something more terrifying than the Ghost Tyrant has appeared in the North City, even more terrifying..."

"What is it? Tell me now."

The Imperial Guard Mage cried, "The Lord of the Underworld has appeared and swallowed up the northern city wall. The ancient capital has fallen..."

"!!!"

"Report! A mountain corpse appeared on the east wall."

"Report! South city wall..."

Han Ji sat weakly on the chair.

The situation in the ancient capital made him confused for a moment.

"Raise the inner city's protective barrier and sound the purple alert," Han Ji said palely, closing his eyes.

Purple alert, foreshadowing the death of the city...

"Things are not that bad," the man in black robe remained calm.

"What should we do now?" Han Ji seemed to be grasping at the last straw.

"Beheading plan," the man in black robe said firmly: "I have a way to find Saran."

At this point, it is still unclear whether the ancient capital will survive or not.

But there is only this one chance to catch Saran. If you miss it, you don’t know when you will be able to catch him.

"Okay," Han Ji gritted his teeth and agreed: "Notify everyone on the list to come to the meeting."

Soon, several people came to the conference room.

There are two elders of the Hunter Alliance, two hunting kings, two elders of the Magic Association, two military commanders and the chief instructor Fei Jiao from the military, and two strong men from the Li family.

These people are all super-class bosses. In the ancient capital, they are so powerful that the earth can shake with just a stomp of their feet.

Everyone thought that Han Ji summoned everyone to discuss strategies to defend against the enemy.

Unexpectedly, Han Ji directly raised the sealing formation.

A dark purple glow filled the air, and everyone was caught off guard as all their magic powers were sealed.

Everyone was shocked.

"Han Ji, what are you going to do?!"

"I'm sorry to gather everyone together in this way," Han Ji said apologetically, "but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. There are people from the Black Church among us, so I have no choice but to do this."

The black-robed man wrapped himself in his hood again and said, "The appearance of the undead in the daytime is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster."

"Who are you?" Zhu Meng asked.

"You will know," the black-robed man said calmly, "The Black Church mixed the Nine Nether Dew into the plumbing pipes, destroyed the pipes, and used the evaporation of hot water to spread it throughout the city. That's why the undead attacked the city in broad daylight."

"I'm sure everyone has seen the information about the massacre in Weiju Village a few days ago. The raw material of the Nine Nether Dew is the water from the Kun Well in Weiju Village." The gray-white man added: "The destruction of Weiju Village was not caused by the undead, but by the Black Church behind it."
