Full-Time Mage: Starting from Obtaining the Mysterious Ancient Tree

Chapter 175 Entering the Abyss of Evil
Hujin's Grand Deacon Muhe wants to slay Langhuo!
His bargaining chip was the location of the imperial tomb.

The truly terrifying aspect of the catastrophe was not that the rain allowed all the spirits of the dead to emerge and wreak havoc during the day, but rather that the ancient king, the progenitor of the dead, awakened from his slumber…

This is hope.

It's as if if we could find the royal tomb and stop the ancient king's resurrection, the ocean of the dead would recede!

"Release them!" Han Ji coldly gave the order.

A team of Imperial Guard mages led the Zhu Meng Federation Council members out of their place of house arrest. Zhu Meng appeared relatively calm, but he was somewhat disappointed to learn that the Supreme Magic Association was using a decapitation plan to deal with Salang and that he would be buried with him.

The Guardian Mage removed the restrictions on the Zhu Meng Federation Council member. Zhu Meng smoothed his somewhat disheveled beard, glanced helplessly at Fang Yu standing to the side, and said, "I really didn't expect that you would save my life."

"If we all go down together, nobody will be happy," Fang Yu said.

"Sigh, I never imagined that our Magic Association would be forced into this situation." Zhu Meng sighed, looking much more weathered than before.

“Saving people is much more difficult than killing them,” Fang Yu said.

Zhu Meng paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile.

Following Zhu Meng's release, other high-ranking officials were also released one after another.

"You can say it."

After the high-ranking officials were released, Han Ji spoke to Hu Jin, his tone filled with murderous intent.

"Hahaha!"

"The tomb of that ancient king is in the Abyss of Evil! Go quickly, go, jump into the Abyss of Evil, seek the mercy of that ancient king, beg him to spare you, his descendants more than two thousand years later!" Hu Jin roared as he spoke these words, his expression already crazed.

"Sha Yuan!" Han Ji's deep-set eyes almost popped out of their sockets.

A chill ran down everyone's spine... Everyone present was shocked. If it was there, what difference was there from having no hope at all?
"No one, including the most powerful mage, can set foot in the ancient king's tomb, but there is one group that Sha Yuan will not refuse: the people of Weiju Village!"

"The people of Danger Dwells are immune to undead attacks because they are descendants of an ancient king. The Abyss will destroy everything and stop all creatures that dare to invade the tomb, but its tomb gates will remain open to the people of Danger Dwells."

Fang Yu suddenly spoke up.

"You mean, the Abyss of Fiends, which can destroy everything, is freely accessible to the descendants of the ancient king?" The mysterious man in the grey robe paused for a moment, then said, "Where did you learn this from?"

“Ancient books…” Fang Yu said ambiguously.

"Whether it's true or false, we have no other choice but to take the plunge. Even the faintest hope is still hope!"

A glimmer of light returned to Han Ji's empty eyes.

Mu He was somewhat surprised, but he still sneered:

"You may know a lot, but do you have any way to stop this catastrophe?"

"Would that ancient king really be merciful and spare you, his descendants, more than two thousand years later?"

……

The Abyss of Slaughter is approaching the inner city!
The first time was at the end of the Sha Wang River, which is west of the ancient capital, about 600 or 700 kilometers away.

The second time I appeared in Hamchi, it was already in the area of ​​Weiju Village!
The third time was 30 kilometers from the northern outer city, which is only 30 kilometers from the city!

And next time, it will appear directly in the city!
Time is running out...

I need to see the old king as soon as possible.

Fang Gu, as a resident of Weiju Village, could be considered to have redeemed himself through meritorious service, while Su Xiaoluo, the female doctor who saved Zhang Xiaohou, expressed her willingness to give it a try.

“I can give it a try. Bocheng also has a sacred spring, and my family’s traditions are very similar to those of Weiju Village. Perhaps I am also a descendant of an ancient king!” Zhang Xiaohou said.

“What if you’re not?” Su Xiaoluo said. “If I’m not, then I’m not. It’s better to jump now than to jump when the Sha Yuan space drifts to the inner city. Besides, I was standing next to the Sha Yuan back in Xianchi, but I wasn’t pulled into the spatial vortex. Maybe that proves I’m a genuine Bo City person.” Zhang Xiaohou smiled, though the smile was a little forced.

"Monkey, are you really going to jump?" Mo Fan looked at Zhang Xiaohou with an extremely serious expression.

“Go!” Zhang Xiaohou said firmly.

"If I drink from the Holy Spring, can I go down there too?" Mo Fan suddenly asked.

He was willing to take the risk.

"Brother Mo, are you going too?"

“Either way, I’m going to die, so I’ll choose the horizontal path. However, now that we have someone who can jump in, I’m still worried about a big problem: how do we get to the Abyss of Fiends? Don’t forget that it’s still several kilometers from the north gate of the ancient capital to the Abyss of Fiends, and there are so many undead over those kilometers that you could play a human pyramid.” Mo Fan replied.

This question stumped everyone present.

Indeed, the Abyss of Sha is digging outside, where there are undead everywhere, making even getting there a challenge!
"Hmph, do you think we're just decorations!" Zhu Meng blew on his beard and said with a righteous and awe-inspiring air.

"We'll fight our way through for you!!" Du Xiao stepped forward as well, speaking with unwavering resolve.

"I even made a bet with Li Yujian that whoever kills fewer ghosts before they die will be their errand boy in the underworld. Now it's good, there's some hope. Let's kill them!" Judge Shi Zheng was quite a bold person.

“If I want to live, this gamble counts,” Li Yujian replied.

"Chief Lu Huan is dealing with the Corpse Demon Lord, and I've brought the Totem Serpent from Hangzhou. I can hold off the Mountain Corpse!" Fang Yu said.

"The Totem Serpent is a creature from the same era as the Mountain Corpse. I didn't expect you to bring it. I think it's good!" Zhu Meng exclaimed, thankfully the strategy to deal with the totem's hidden danger had failed.

Fang Yu's words!

A glimmer of light gradually returned to Han Ji's eyes.

Another powerful force has joined the team.

Compared to the previous utter silence, this news is truly inspiring!
I wonder how Salang is feeling right now.

"To prevent Salang from harming them, I will personally protect them until we reach the Abyss of Sha!" Han Ji also stated.

"President, are you going out too?" the mysterious white man asked in surprise.

“Sarang is among us. I think with his wickedness, he will definitely take advantage of the chaos to silence them. I will personally protect them and see if he has the guts to come and die!” Han Ji’s tone was cold and sharp, completely different from his previous dejected state.

"Alright, since the guild leader is willing to fight alongside us, what more can we say? All the high-ranking officials who were previously under house arrest, go into battle. Leave some people behind to defend the city and prevent the Eight Destroyed Kings from launching a collective attack on the barrier." Commander Yaoting issued the order.

"Zhang Xiaohou, well done! Our guard district is proud of you!" Chief Instructor Feijiao patted Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder heavily.

"The Abyss of Fiends will soon undergo a spatial shift. We must immediately organize those who have fought their way out of the Path of the Dead and make sure they are safely delivered to the mouth of the Abyss of Fiends!"

"Gentlemen, it all depends on you. If we succeed, you will be heroes. If we fail, it doesn't matter. We can all drink and make merry in the underworld."

"That's good! The more we mourn, the happier the Black Vatican will be. We'll make them uncomfortable even if we die. Black Vatican, if you've got the guts, I'll go to the Drum Tower right now and fight you until you beg for mercy!"

"President, what should we do with Hu Jin? He's still kneeling there." The mysterious gray-white man asked.

“Since this guy dares to show up here, he’s probably prepared to die for Salang. Let’s lock him on the bell so that everyone in the city can see his true colors…” the chairman said.

Muhe was indeed best prepared to die for Salam. He knelt there, looking like he was worshipping a god, clearly quite insane!
There's no point in killing this kind of person; the best way is to hang them up.

If we truly avert this catastrophe, we must ensure he dies with his eyes wide open in disbelief!
They sealed Mu He's mind and then used nails and locks to hang him up.

But Muhe was already prepared to sacrifice himself. He was still laughing wildly, constantly talking about the grand ceremony, the investiture of gods, Salang, and the god of death. Sometimes he was incoherent, and sometimes he was like a madman.

Now no one cares about him anymore. Everyone has a common goal, so we will definitely do everything we can to achieve it!
