Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

Tang Yue snorted coldly and said, "You're not bad? You're a complete scumbag. If I hadn't fallen for you, do you think I, Tang Yue, would have no takers?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Alright, don't be angry. In the future, I'll try my best to restrain myself from calling you 'teacher,' okay?"

Tang Yue said arrogantly, "You're still saying it! Humph! How about this? If you want me not to be angry, come and keep me company now!"

"Okay, that's easy. Where are you now? I'll come find you!" Lin Chen agreed without a second thought.

Tang Yue replied, "I'm in a remote town in Hangzhou. I'll send you the address later. Come quickly!"

"Okay! Then wait for me!" Lin Chen said.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Yue, who was far away in Hangzhou, revealed a mischievous smile and muttered to herself, "Little man, you want to show off? I can't handle you?"

After Lin Chen received Tang Yue's message, he immediately understood: Xishui Town!

Hangzhou is not far from Modu. Lin Chen directly summoned the Phoenix Wings and flew over.

According to the address Tang Yue sent, Lin Chen arrived at the town called Xishui.

Although the town was named Xishui (Play Water), it had nothing to do with water. This town was barren, with cracked soil and barren land everywhere.

Lin Chen walked into "Youjian Inn." At a glance, he saw a mature and sexy woman sitting by the window in the corridor.

Tang Yue noticed Lin Chen's arrival and smiled, appearing exceptionally charming and moving.

"Oh ho, a waiting-for-her-husband rock!" Lin Chen joked.

"Forget it, seeing how quickly you came, I'll forgive you!" Tang Yue smiled, habitually and gently tucking the hair in front of her eyebrows behind her ear.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, slowly sat down opposite Tang Yue, and said, "I say, Yueyue, the dating location you chose is quite special!"

Tang Yue glanced at Lin Chen appreciatively, then retracted her smile, pointed to a man outside the corridor window who seemed to have a very stylish outfit.

"I actually have a mission. Do you see that person? His name is Chao He. He's my mission target. Based on experience, he's a sinister mage. Although he hasn't joined the Black Vatican, he's done no shortage of harmful things. Don't look at that guy dressed so properly, like a young noble. He's killed more mages than demons! This person is very cunning and has escaped the Judgment Association's attacks many times before. To be safe, I called you over. This time, we absolutely can't let him escape!" Tang Yue said softly.

Lin Chen rolled his eyes at Tang Yue and said, "So, after all this, you didn't call me here specifically for a date!"

"I'm not confident enough!" Tang Yue said coquettishly.

Tang Yue's coquettish voice made people feel numb. Who could refuse such a Tang Yue?

Lin Chen patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, with me here, he won't be able to escape!"

Tang Yue smiled charmingly and continued, "What we need to do now is to follow him first, without alarming him. This town is called Xishui Town, but now, for some reason, the high temperature hasn't decreased, causing the river to dry up and the land to crack. If this isn't man-made, then it's a naturally formed disaster. It's also possible that some kind of treasure is brewing. Chao He came here, probably for the treasure!"

Lin Chen said, "Sometimes, people are more terrifying than demons!"

...

Tang Yue and Lin Chen both possessed the Shadow Element, so tracking someone was easy.

The two used Shadow Stealth to follow behind Chao He. Chao He kept heading upstream of Xishui Town. Suddenly, Chao He turned to look behind him, as if he had noticed something.

After a while, Chao He found nothing unusual and continued upstream.

Lin Chen and Tang Yue, who were hiding in the shade of a large tree, both breathed a sigh of relief and continued to follow.

Soon, the two discovered that there was not only Chao He here, but also two other groups of people.

One group was a nearby hunter team, and the other was from the Dongfang family, known for their Fire Element in the country.

As soon as the two groups met, they became wary of each other. After all, they were here to find treasure. If there was another party, even if they finally found the treasure, there might be disputes.

"Pan Xiong, if you don't want to be begging in Tangbei City in the future, obediently take your people and scram. The Fire Element Spirit Seed that our Dongfang family has set its sights on has never been shared with anyone else!"

The two sides started fighting as soon as they disagreed. This was not a city. The surrounding area was desolate and uninhabited, with no witnesses.

All five members of the Dongfang family were Intermediate-level mages. The hunter team had ten people, including seven Elementary-level mages and three Intermediate-level mages.

Naturally, the Dongfang family was superior. Under the joint efforts of the five, they quickly suppressed the entire hunter team.

They seized the opportunity and defeated them in one fell swoop. In the end, the hunter team had no choice but to give up the Spirit Seed. The Dongfang family did not kill them all and allowed the hunter team to leave.

However, these people from the Dongfang family didn't know that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Just as they were discussing how to collect and distribute the spoils, a gloomy voice sounded: "Sorry, this thing is mine. As for other benefits, if I'm in a good mood, I can let you die quickly!"

The sudden change made the faces of these people from the Dongfang family extremely gloomy. They probably wouldn't have thought that someone would run out to reap the benefits!

"What are you? Humph, you actually want to reap the benefits!" Dongfang Jun said angrily. As a member of the Dongfang family, he was always treated with respect wherever he went, but today he had been provoked twice in a row.

"You might have heard my name, Chao He!" Chao He took off the hat covering his face, revealing an evil and charming face. What was shocking was that there were obvious iron-branded marks on his forehead. Most of the people branded like this had already been sentenced to death by the Judgment Association!

"Chao He, it's that murderer!"

At this time, some of the disciples of the Dongfang family had recognized Chao He's identity and pointed at Chao He in horror.

"Dongfang family, I seem to remember that you have a girl named Dongfang Qing'er, quite charming!" Chao He grinned.

Lin Chen, who was hiding in the dark, noticed that Tang Yue's body was already trembling, obviously, Chao He's words had angered Tang Yue.

Chao He's laughter was extremely terrifying, like the harsh sound of a vampire bat. In the midst of the laughter, a dark, turbid object slowly fell from a high place, like a black, viscous spider web already laid out above, or like the viscous claws of some creature slapping down.

"Actually, I arrived before you. This Evil Spider Trap is my greeting gift for you."

Black claws, black spider webs, looking up, you could vaguely see a terrifying, evil, and狂蛛 spirit shadow above this enveloping black trap, its pairs of eyes radiating greedy light, captivating the soul.
