Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Hey, hey, hey!"

At the same time, the trees in the forest collapsed with a crash, and a large group of people emerged, each holding an iron chain, dragging a giant golden beast like boatmen!
The golden-armored behemoth was five stories tall, with thick limbs and a body as large as a mammoth. Those trees were broken by this golden-armored mammoth!

On the back of the golden-armored mammoth, a magnificent ancient sculpture was prominently displayed. The sculpture was pure white and greyish-white, and it was a lifelike heron.

The call of the flute-like heron is gentle yet powerful. It is a relatively ancient and rare creature that once inhabited the ancient city of Mingwu, but it is now almost impossible to find any alive.

Mo Xie glanced at the flute statue, then at Ruan Feiyan, and deliberately feigned anger, questioning her in an unfriendly tone.

"Didn't you say there were no other ancient sculptures here?"

"This...I..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Feiyan was at a loss for words and did not know how to respond, while the other women also lowered their heads guiltily.

The ancient egret has not been seen in this area, so it is clear that this group of hunters brought it from another part of the ancient city and intended to move it out of Mingwu Ancient City.

The Thunder Cat Ancient Sculpture was also their target; they came here intending to bring the Thunder Cat along with them.

The ancient eagle wasn't large, only a little over a person's height, but its weight was astonishing. You could see that even a powerful ancient creature like the golden-armored mammoth struggled to carry the ancient eagle, requiring the entire hunter group to work together.

Even so, the golden mammoth's carapace showed signs of cracking, and with each step it took, the ground sank a little more!

“Boss Jin, it’s already very difficult to move one of the Golden Armored Mammoths. This Thunder Cat should weigh about the same as the Flute Heron. How are we supposed to move it?”

A hunter stopped, wiped the sweat from his face, and said helplessly.

"But this Thunder Cat seems more valuable than the Flute Heron. Let's leave the Flute Heron here for now and get the Thunder Cat back first!"

The fat, round-faced boss stared intently at Lei Maozuo, his eyes filled with greed for money, and said with a grin.

"How...how could you move these ancient sculptures away!"

Ruan Feiyan pointed at the group of hunters in front of her, trembling with anger, her large, full breasts revealing a hint of spring.

Mo Xie could sense her anger at this moment, but it was probably not because the hunter group had moved these ancient sculptures without permission, but because she was angry that these guys had taken away what was about to belong to Xia Yu.

"Little sister, do you know how much those wealthy merchants outside are offering to buy these broken stones in the ancient city?"

Boss Jin held up one finger, and without even knowing how much it was, he bluntly stated it.

"I don't believe you didn't see that they possess some kind of divine power. Demons and monsters dare not approach them. If these ancient sculptures were used to guard private territory, they would be more reliable than hiring any number of powerful magician patrol teams. Why do you think those wealthy merchants would spend so much money to buy them? Isn't it because they want to live a peaceful life?"

"But these ancient sculptures don't belong to you!"

Ruan Feiyan stepped forward angrily, intending to give them a good scolding. Her expression was very dignified, completely forgetting the purpose of their visit.

Actually, both groups are doing the same thing, so neither should criticize the other.

At this moment, Boss Jin leaned closer, his fat face close to Ruan Feiyan's, and asked in a strange tone.

"Then please tell me, who does this belong to?"

"of course……"

Ruan Feiyan wanted to say something, but the words stuck in her throat, leaving her speechless.

“Look, if it belongs to the people of the ancient city, then the people of the ancient city have all run away. And yet, if it belongs to the ancient city, then look how abandoned this city is.”

Boss Jin surveyed the desolate ancient city and said with a chuckle.

“Since everyone in the ancient city has run away and the ancient city is abandoned, the statues here certainly don’t belong to anyone. If they don’t belong to anyone, then they belong to the person who saw them and picked them up, right?” Boss Jin’s words left Ruan Feiyan speechless. After all, their target was also these ancient sculptures, and they couldn’t expose themselves here.

Mo Xie nodded in agreement with what Boss Jin said. After all, Mingwu Ancient City had become a deserted city, surrounded by demons, and it was impossible to provide a place for people to live. So the things here naturally became ownerless.

"Instead of letting them lie fallow and go to waste here, we brothers risk our lives to move them out to guard the yard and protect the house. Isn't that giving these ancient sculptures a new meaning? Look at them, exposed to the elements here, with no one to clean them or take care of them. Aren't they pitiful? We're doing a good deed!"

Boss Jin continued, his expression very serious.

"But they have been guarding this place for thousands of years. If you move them away, you might be punished by the heavens!"

Ruan Feiyan was extremely anxious, and finally couldn't hold back any longer, so she suddenly blurted out these words.

As soon as he finished speaking, Boss Jin froze, his gaze sweeping over Ruan Feiyan and the other Xia Yu women with an extremely strange expression. He smacked his lips and asked...
"You're from Xiayu, right?"

"Ah."

Ruan Feiyan nodded, looking very proud, as if being born on Xiayu Island was something to be proud of.

"Don't you...aren't you going to be punished by heaven?"

Suddenly, Boss Jin narrowed his eyes, his expression turned cold, and he questioned Jin in a disdainful tone.

Ruan Feiyan was stunned, and the women of Xiayu were also stunned, unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing this, Boss Jin laughed disdainfully and beckoned the hunters behind him to start unloading the Flute Heron, intending to move the Thunder Cat away first.

Mo Xie looked at Boss Jin, then glanced at the speechless women of Xiayu, pondering to himself.

It seems that this Boss Jin knows quite a bit about Xiayu. No wonder he looked down on these guys. But he only has himself to blame.

"Mr. Wu Xie, please help us. We absolutely cannot let Boss Jin and his gang take the ancient sculpture away."

Ruan Feiyan walked over quickly and made a sincere request.

She understood that with the influence of the women from Xiayu Island, there was no way they could persuade Boss Jin. Besides, he seemed to know something about Xiayu Island, and the hunter group's strength was far beyond what they could match.

Currently, the best solution seems to be to have Mo Xie step forward and, using her status as a Hunter Master, see if she can persuade the Hunter Team to back down. This way, things won't be so complicated when Teacher arrives later.

"I think we can terminate our contract."

Mo Xie shook his head, deciding not to continue talking to the group of Xia Yu women.

Boss Jin is right. These ancient sculptures are ownerless and no one in the ancient city wants them anymore. There is nothing wrong with him coming over to move them and sell them. It does not violate the law or harm anyone's interests.

Even if the hunters take the ancient eagle away later, it's none of Mo Xie's business. That's Xia Yu's concern. All she needs to do is imprint the Silver Dragon Mark on all the ancient eagles.

The hunters went through all that trouble just for those stones. They didn't make things difficult for them, so it would be a bit much for them to cut off their livelihood.

"You can ask me those questions again, and I will definitely not hide anything from you and will answer you seriously. But those ancient sculptures really cannot leave the ancient city."

Ruan Feiyan's tone was tinged with anxiety, but more so with fear that they would not be able to complete their mission.

"Sorry, I'm not interested."

Mo Xie remained unmoved by Ruan Feiyan's request, waving his hand and preparing to walk towards the hunters' group. (End of Chapter)
