Chapter 101 So it was you!
Boom~~~
As if it had found some kind of accelerant, the Azure Lotus Fire blazed fiercely, its azure flames shining brightly in the darkness.
Even from hundreds of meters away, the people behind Lu Jie could feel a wave of heat hitting their faces.
Meanwhile, the fire mages on the city tower could clearly feel that the fire mages they held in their hands were not obeying their commands, as if they were submitting to the blue flames.
"Incredible! Incredible! This Bone Demon General was at least close to the strength of a Great Bone General, yet you killed him so easily." Several hunter mages standing on the city wall praised.
"Hey, it's all thanks to this student." The team leader, the hunter mage, said modestly, patting Lu Jie on the shoulder.
He himself only played a support role; the main damage output came from Lu Jie.
Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang were beaming with pride, and the former, a typical smug type, immediately said sarcastically, "Some people are useless but love to spout nonsense. They think they're so great, but they can't even unleash a magic spell."
"That's right, that's right!" Wang Sanpang chimed in. "I told you long ago, killing demons isn't necessarily a job you can do just because you're of a higher rank."
Jiang Li's face turned pale and then red as she listened to the two men's words, wishing she could rush up and tear their mouths apart.
However, he really didn't have any effect, and he didn't even release a single spell, so there was nothing to refute.
Zhao Kunsan and Wang Sanpang, working in unison, drove Jiang Li away in anger.
"Isn't that a bit of an overstatement?" Mu Bai said.
"I don't think so. You can't spoil this kind of person." Mo Fan thought the two of them did a great job.
"I killed a Bone General, my credits are going to increase a lot, hehe." Zhou Min was very happy. This month, she would not only get the original resources, but she might even get more.
As everyone was talking, they suddenly caught a glimpse of a huge layer of bloody light enveloping the long city road.
"Buzz~~~" "Buzz~~~"
The appearance of the blood-red light was accompanied by a powerful and resonant bell tolling, the sound echoing throughout the outer city walls, giving everyone who heard it a jolt of energy.
"What happened?" Mo Fan asked, puzzled.
"Something big has appeared; this is a warning sign," said the leader, the hunter mage.
"What big thing?" Mo Fan continued to ask.
None of the people present told him what this big thing was; they simply asked all the idle monks to gather at the north gate tower.
Four radiant signals were sent in succession, signifying a broad-based assembly.
Once this signal is sent, all mages belonging to academies, magic associations, hunter alliances, and great families must go there. Anyone found deliberately shirking their duties will be directly expelled from their faction and organization.
The group immediately headed to the North Gate Tower, which was located at the northern outer city gate. It was much larger than the corner tower, and was practically a majestic and imposing fortress of Jiange standing on the city wall.
The rally signal was sent from here, and when Lu Jie and his group arrived, the place was already packed with people.
However, judging from the mage badges worn by these people, most of them are novice mages.
"All mid-level and above mages, please come up to the city wall. All other mages, please remain where you are and await further orders!" A loud voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.
So, the scattered mid-level mages climbed up the city wall and gathered in a hall on the wall. The hall was open and spacious, and they could see the dark land outside the city at a glance.
"Is this all there is?" a somewhat rough voice asked.
At the top of the stairs leading to the higher pavilion, a man with a full beard descended, followed by a palace guard and a military intelligence officer.
"Greetings, Your Excellency!"
"I've met the congressman!"
Some mid-level mages who frequented this place immediately offered respectful greetings.
The voice was very familiar to Lu Jie and Mo Fan. Upon looking, they recognized it immediately – Councilor Zhu Meng!
At the same time, Zhu Meng's gaze met that of the two men, and his eyes widened.
"Why are you two unlucky brats here!" Zhu Meng was stunned for a while. Could it be that he really was incompatible with these two?
"I also think it's bad luck to run into you," Mo Fan said without backing down.
"Hey, Councilor Zhu Meng, what brings you to the ancient capital?" Lu Jie said with a smile.
"How dare you!" The military intelligence officer immediately glared at the two men for their disrespect.
Zhu Meng waved his hand. Back in Hangzhou, those two brats had insulted him quite a bit, so he didn't expect them to respect him.
Soon, he got down to business.
Zhou Min and the others looked at Lu Jie and Mo Fan in surprise, wondering how a high-level mage and a mid-level mage could know a councilor like Zhu Meng.
Zhu Meng quickly explained the reason for issuing the assembly signal: a Fiend Abyss had appeared 30 kilometers to the north.
The Abyss of Fiends is extremely terrifying. Standing on it, one can clearly see a hellish scene: hundreds of ghosts roar with the most resentful fury, thousands of corpses gnaw at anything that moves, including themselves, and ten thousand demons stretch out their claws, waiting to be drenched in blood...
Moreover, in addition to its ever-expanding devouring properties, the Abyss of Fiends also possesses spatial unpredictability; it may be in another place one second, but could appear right in front of you the next.
When the resentment becomes too great, even space itself cannot bear the burden. After space is distorted and shattered, this Abyss of Fiends will travel through time and space. As for how it travels, no one knows. Even mages above the highest level will die if they step into the Abyss of Fiends.
"Since it's an uncertain space called the Abyss of Evil, why worry? Are you worried that the Abyss of Evil will expand to an area of eight kilometers and swallow this place up as well?" Mo Fan said.
"That's unlikely. That wouldn't be the entrance to hell, but rather the manifestation of hell itself. The last time the Abyss of Evil appeared was more than a hundred kilometers away from this city," Zhong Zishan said.
"That's right. In fact, about half a year ago, Sha Yuan appeared near the Sha Wang River, which is more than 600 kilometers away from here. Not many people know about it," Zhu Meng said.
Mo Fan was slightly taken aback and quickly asked Zhu Meng for the specific time.
After obtaining the specific time, Lu Jie and Mo Fan finally understood why the Sand River had erupted after the Heavenly Tribulation Flames broke out.
So it was Sha Yuan who got close to that place!
However, why this Fiend Abyss is located near the Sand River remains unknown.
Just like the Abyss of Fiends possesses spatial unpredictability, it may be in another distant place one second, but it will be right in front of you the next.
"So the second time it appeared was in the land of Xianchi?" Lu Jie asked, summarizing the information he had gathered.
"That's right, Sha Yuan appeared there three months ago, and unfortunately, my student was there too." Fei Jiao, wearing a black cloak, walked over.
