Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

"Alright, quiet down and listen carefully."

Upon hearing Mo Xie's words, everyone quieted down and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds.

Sure enough, while the sky was still overcast, the soil mixed with fine white sand underfoot began to loosen, and strange creaking sounds came from underground, as if something was about to break through the soil.

"Eat the gray garlic quickly!"

Seeing this, the short man swallowed hard and solemnly gave his instructions.

Upon hearing this, everyone swallowed the indescribably delicious gray garlic without any hesitation, as no one wanted to be besieged by the undead.

Even Mo Fan swallowed the indescribably pungent gray garlic, covering his mouth tightly to prevent himself from spitting it out.

"Liu Xian, we don't need to eat it, we can just pretend."

Mo Xie covered her mouth, quietly put away the gray garlic, and whispered to Liu Xian.

"Ah."

Liu Xian nodded, secretly put the gray garlic away, and pretended to have eaten it.

Neither of them needed to eat gray garlic. Liu Xian was a vampire, so the undead wouldn't attack her. Mo Xie, on the other hand, had a Qilin pendant to conceal his aura, so the undead wouldn't detect the presence of a living person.

Just then, a stark white bone claw rose from the ground in front of them, its claw digging deep into the soil, supporting its body as it crawled out of the ground.

Before long, a rotting corpse crawling with white maggots emerged, its empty eyeballs and drooping chin creating an extremely horrifying and bizarre sight!

Perhaps because everyone ate the gray garlic in time, there weren't many undead creatures crawling out of the ground in this area. They wandered around unconsciously, trying to find the fleeting traces of the living people from before.

One of the undead creatures happened to walk towards Asha's. Instantly, her two servants' pupils narrowed slightly, and just as they were about to deal with it, she raised her hand to stop them.

Sure enough, when the half-corpse, half-skeletal undead creature got close enough, it changed direction and walked away.

“We must leave quickly. This is probably the tomb of some ancient minister. If it's just ordinary skeletons, it's not a big deal; we can handle them. But if the ancient minister buried in the tomb was a powerful mage in life and became a high-level undead after death, then we're in trouble.”

The short man looked around at the seven or eight small, raised stone tombs and urged them on anxiously.

As the group wandered among the restless spirits, Asha Ruya, who was holding Mo Xie's arm, seemed to notice something unusual. She spoke up, her voice ethereal like a clear spring, devoid of any emotion, giving her an otherworldly air.

Is the aura of death always so strong here?

Upon hearing Asha's question, the dwarf smiled and quickly answered.

"It wasn't like this before. Ever since the Sand River fell into chaos for some unknown reason, the death aura here has become many times stronger than before. There are rumors in the industry that a new undead is coming soon. If the supreme ruler of the Undead Empire changes, it is indeed possible that the current situation will occur."

"The supreme ruler?"

Asha's beautiful eyes flickered slightly as she murmured softly.

"That's right, no one has ever seen its true face, but everyone knows it exists... Everyone calls it the King, and it is said to be the transformation of the Qin Dynasty's ruler after his death."

The short man flaunted his limited cultural knowledge, seemingly trying to impress Asha's mother.

"A monarch for a thousand years..."

Asha'ruya seemed to be lost in thought, and murmured softly.

As Mo Xie listened to their conversation, his thoughts drifted. He naturally knew the reason for the riot in the Sha Wang River. His spirit had been damaged back then, and according to Ling, it was the call of his subordinates.

Before Ling fell into a deep sleep, he had instructed her that if she had the opportunity to go to the ancient capital, she should find a chance to enter the Abyss of Evil, where her royal authority was located.

"Has no one really seen that undead ruler?"

Liu Xian's curiosity was piqued by the short man, and she asked him a question.

The short man shook his head, speaking in an air of honesty.

"I've never seen the strongest mage. In the past, some foreigners who claimed to be from the Holy Tribunal came seeking answers. They were all top-notch mages, but none of them came back alive. I heard they eventually became undead."

Upon hearing these words, Asharuya's beautiful eyes revealed a hint of a smile, her eyebrows curving into crescent shapes, exuding charm.

“I’d love to hear the people of the Holy Tribunal do stupid things.”

At this moment, one of Asha's attendants looked around and, finding that the undead had indeed not come looking for them, exclaimed in surprise.

"With such a good method of warding off evil, those undead creatures don't seem as scary as I imagined."

Hearing this, the short man chuckled and patted the muscular man on the shoulder, saying, "In the ancient capital, grey garlic is rarer than gold. It's impossible to cultivate it artificially. Most of it grows in places where the dead gather, feeding on corpses. Only the people of Weiju Village know how to harvest it, and the annual yield is limited. If it weren't for my brother having half the blood of Weiju Village, how could I have gotten you such a good thing!"

Upon receiving the praise, the burly man scratched his head and grinned sheepishly, while stealing a glance at Asha's mother.

On the way, Liu Xian secretly tugged at Mo Xie's arm and whispered something.

"Master, something's not right with that woman. There's a dark aura about her that I don't like. Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Mo Xie knew exactly what Liu Xian was talking about. He smiled gently at her and said softly.

"Don't worry, I know."

"Little sister, don't think I can't hear you. It's not good to talk behind someone's back."

Suddenly, Asha's resentful voice came over, her beautiful eyes fixed on Liu Xian, a cold glint flashing in them.

"Hey, who are you calling 'little sister'? I might even be older than you!"

Upon hearing herself called "little sister," a hint of displeasure flashed in Liu Xian's eyes. Having been called "older sister" for years, she disliked being called "younger sister" and said in an unfriendly tone.

"Hmph, judging by your size, you are indeed smaller than me, aren't you?"

As she spoke, Asha Ruya hugged Mo Xie's arm even tighter, sinking deeply into his embrace. Her full breasts spread out slightly, almost overflowing.

"you!"

Seeing such enormous assets, Liu Xian's expression changed slightly. Although her own assets were also considerable, they were indeed smaller compared to Asha's. It would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.

"Alright, you two, stop arguing."

Mo Xie shook his head helplessly, stopped the two women from arguing, and turned to look at the charming and alluring Asha Ruya, asking her a question.

"Why did you come to the ancient capital?"

"for what……"

Upon hearing this, a sly glint flashed in Asha's beautiful eyes, and a smile appeared on her lips as she spoke softly.

"Someone bought my information and, while doing a favor for an elder, came to Weiju Village to investigate some things."

Returning a favor to an elder, could it be...?

Mo Xie had a general idea in mind, but now was not the time to ask, so she suppressed the impulse in her heart.

After walking for a while, the short man pointed ahead and said.

"We'll be at Yangyang Village soon. It's still a long night, so let's go to the village for a short rest."

The muscular man nodded and added.

“The village has its own rules, and you must abide by them if you want to enter the village.”

Upon hearing this, everyone readily agreed.

However, when they reached the hillside and looked down, they saw no dilapidated villages, only piles of wood.

"Are you kidding us?"

Seeing this, a bearded servant glared angrily at the short man, his voice tinged with anger.

"I...I don't know what's going on."

The short man stammered, then looked at the muscular man.

The burly man was stunned for a moment, then ignored the several wandering ghosts around him and ran down the slope like a madman.

"This is where Yangyang Village is located on the map!"

The short man took out a map to show that he was not lying.

Where did that village go?

"I don't know either, unless..."

The short man didn't continue, but everyone knew what he meant... Yangyang Village was wiped out! (End of Chapter)
