Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 245 The truth emerges

The purple alert threw the entire city into chaos.

Everyone had just experienced a night of fierce fighting, and they thought they would be greeted with a triumphant celebration, but they never expected that they would be greeted with suffocating despair...

The undead entered the city and gradually formed a sea of ​​​​legion. The citizens panicked and struggled helplessly.

This scene of purgatory on earth made Xu Shen a little confused.

I reminded you of this several years ago.

This scene of purgatory on earth still happened.

Does the law of cause and effect really exist in this world?
No matter how hard you struggle, the predetermined outcome won't change at all?
At this moment, a man in black robe appeared beside him.

"Hey!"

The clear female voice made Xu Shen recognize the person immediately.

"It's you?"

Xu Shen narrowed his eyes slightly.

"It's me. If you want to live, follow me."

Xu Shen sneered: "You forced me into the ancient capital, and now you want me to leave?"

"Hey, if you have any complaints, go find the boss. I'm just a tool."

Speaking of this, the woman in black robe also looked full of resentment.

"Boss?"

The man in black robe hummed and said nothing.

"Can I live by following you?"

"Of course," the man in black robe patted his chest.

Xu Shen turned his gaze towards Ding Yumian.

"Don't," Ding Yumian said after a long silence, "I won't go with her alone."

"There's no need to be so troublesome. Why don't you two just come with me?" the man in black robe said playfully.

"I have some classmates."

"That won't work. There are too many of them." The man in black robe shook his head decisively: "Life and death are determined by fate. I can't take care of so many people."

Xu Shen was silent.

"I don't want to leave," Ding Yumian said calmly.

Xu Shen grinned immediately: "Then I won't leave either. Since I'm here, wouldn't it be a pity to miss such an exciting event as the Undead attacking the city?"

"You! You! You!" the black-robed man said incredulously, "You will die!"

Xu Shen smiled contemptuously: "If you die, then die. How can a coward like you understand the principles of a real man?!"

The man in black robe suddenly became angry and lifted his hood to reveal a handsome face: "How dare you scold me?"

"How dare I hit you!"

Thinking of the footprints on her face, the little girl subconsciously covered her face and stopped talking.

"You, huh, I don't care!"

The little girl ran away in anger and disappeared without a trace in a short while.

Strangely enough, she rushed forward all the way, but the undead in the city completely ignored her.

"Let's go, the inner city barrier has risen, let's try to get some people into the city."

When Xu Shen and others were fighting bloody battles, the black-robed girl who had left before appeared again.

"Why are you here again?"

"The boss is looking for her."

The girl in black robe pointed at Ding Yumian reluctantly.

"Looking for her?"

"That's right," the black-robed girl said, "If you want to save the ancient capital, you'd better come with me."

The little girl's expression was extremely serious.

"Yumian, what do you think?"

"She didn't lie."

……

In the Clock Tower Magic Association, the atmosphere was tense.

"Han Ji!"

Li Yujian, the head of the Li family, was furious: "There are so many undead attacking the city. At this time, you imprisoned us here. I think you are crazy." "And you," he pointed the spearhead at the black-robed man: "I have been in the ancient capital for so many years, and I have never heard of the Nine Nether Dew. You have such a lame reason to trap us here, and what about the Black Church? I think you are the Black Church."

"That's right," said Elder Lingxi of the Hunter Alliance in a stern tone. "It's hard for me not to doubt your innocence with your behavior. If you must imprison us, please show us the evidence."

The man in black robe carefully observed the reactions of the people present without saying a word.

Instead, the mysterious gray-white man explained: "I can testify that Han Ji is definitely not a member of the Black Church."

Li Yujian pointed at his nose and asked, "Who are you? How can you testify? On what basis do you testify?"

Zhu Meng was very upset.

In fact, before coming here, Tang Yue had reminded him that the shadow of the Black Church existed in the ancient capital.

He was full of confidence at that time, but he didn't expect Han Ji to do such a thing to him.

"This..." The gray-white man was speechless.

The Black Vatican dealt with its tail very cleanly.

During the trip to Weiju Village, the middleman got involved, but the evidence was still not found.

"It doesn't matter whether Han Ji is an undercover agent of the Black Church. I am sure that the undercover agent of the Black Church is among us. That's enough," the mysterious gray-white man said in a tough tone, "I know all the plans of the Black Church."

Chief Instructor Fei Jiao suppressed his anger and said, "You say."

The gray-white man sighed and said, "Does anyone remember the disaster in Bo City two and a half years ago?"

"Humph, of course I remember."

Zhu Meng snorted coldly.

The Lingyin Tribunal had been handling this matter for several years, but they did not expect that the Yaodu Tribunal would reap the benefits in the end.

"That was a preview of the disaster in the ancient capital."

"what?!"

Everyone was shocked.

The gray-white man said, “Sarang has three capable men under his command, in addition to the Great Deacon Hu Jin who was arrested in Bo City, there are two more.

One is a headmaster who possesses the power to make rain, and the other is a black pharmacist who can prepare all kinds of potions.

The violent rain in Bo City was created by these two people, and the raw material of this violent rain was also the water from Kunjing in Weiju Village. Later, the headmaster disappeared in the disaster of Bo City and there is still no news of him.

If the headmaster had not disappeared, the Black Church would not have to choose the compromise method of plumbing, and the number of undead creatures in this city would be many times greater than it is now."

Everyone was shocked.

Was the Bo disaster just a preview?
This matter is too unbelievable, but if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.

"What should we do now?" Li Yujian couldn't help but ask.

The mysterious gray-white man smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"The Nine Nether Dew is only the first link in the plan. Once the undead completely capture the outer city, the ancient king will wake up and destroy the inner city barrier, turning the ancient capital into his underworld on earth. So, there is no way out now. All we can do is kill Saran before the ancient king descends."

Zhu Meng snorted coldly and said, "Kill Saran? How can we kill Saran if we don't even know who he is?"

The mysterious gray-white man looked at everyone in silence, and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Military Commander Lu Xu asked incredulously: "Do you want us all to commit suicide?"

The gray-white man remained silent, obviously agreeing.

Elder Lingxi of the Hunter Alliance laughed sarcastically: "Only based on your one-sided statement, what is your basis?"

"Of course we can do nothing," the gray-white man said, "The ancient city has fallen anyway, and when the ancient king comes, none of us will be able to escape."

"Is there really no other way?" Li Yujian couldn't help but ask.

"Originally, there was," the gray-white man said with a wry smile, "The water from Kunjing can make the Nine Nether Dew ineffective. If we had the water from Kunjing, we could buy half a day to find the king's tomb and reseal the ancient king.

Unfortunately, I realized it too late. The people in Weiju Village had already been slaughtered. There was nothing else I could do now."

Li Yujian sneered: "Seal the ancient king? Are you kidding? He is the Lord of the Underworld, a true emperor-level demon. Seal him? You or me?"

"This..." The gray-white man said, "This news comes from Weiju Village. Although there is no evidence to prove it, I think it is true."

At this moment, the black-robed man who had been silent for a long time suddenly interrupted and said, "Let me correct you. The Ancient King does not want to wake up on his own, but the Black Church wants him to wake up."

"What?" Even Han Ji was confused.

The black-robed man said, "The ancient king is an emperor who has lived through the ages. Although he failed in his pursuit of immortality and became a ghost, he has never harmed humans for thousands of years. Instead, he has been wandering around the Qinling Mountains, driving away demons and protecting humans. How could he possibly invade its city?"

"Yup!"

Everyone suddenly understood.

The man in black robe said:

"The Black Church used Xianchi as an experiment to make the Abyss of Evil descend and revive several undead monarchs under the ancient king, proving that their method of controlling the Abyss of Evil to descend on the earth and revive the undead was correct. Therefore, Xianchi was also a rehearsal for the ancient capital."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked and angry.
