Versatile Mage: Invincible from the Fire of Disaster

Chapter 268 Fusion Ceremony
Little Flame Princess lay on Mo Fan's head, and the spatial sphere covered a spirit seed before splitting in two.

Gently placing a spiritual seed into his mouth, he chewed it softly, a happy smile spreading across his face.

However, when Mo Fan sensed what Xiao Yan Ji was doing, he couldn't help but stiffen, feeling like crying.

My little ancestor! Didn't you see that guy just used spatial splitting to cut someone's head off?
You're dividing space above my head!
Mo Fan shuddered involuntarily, but he couldn't bear to condemn Xiao Yanji. Instead, he turned his gaze back to Lin Ming.

Zeng Guanglie's head rolled to the ground, the terror on his face still lingering.

The members of the Siyan Association and the dog-man stared wide-eyed, seemingly unable to believe that Lin Ming would actually dare to attack them!
When Ke Lingxi, a director of the Judicial Research Association, saw Lin Ming walking forward again, she couldn't help but take two steps back, her teeth chattering.
"You...you stay away! The Siyan Society is also a member of the Chinese Magic Association! Let me go!"

Lin Ming didn't want to bother with this cowardly guy who was blinded by greed, but he subtly planted a spatial mark on him.

There are still things I need this guy to do.

"get out!"

With a wave of his hand, Lin Ming released spatial power, blasting the members of the Siyan Association away!

Only the dog-man remained, standing there with his two dogs.

Lin Ming turned to look at the dog-man, but had not yet spoken.

The dog-man was quite sensible, and spoke first.

"Tell me what you want."

He looked at Lin Ming quietly, but his tightly clenched hands betrayed his inner tension.

“Their research association belongs to the Magic Association, so you didn’t touch them. But Zeng Guanglie and I both serve Mr. Su Lu directly. Moreover, Zeng Guanglie has the identity of a Chinese citizen, but I am just an unregistered person. If I didn’t have something you wanted, you wouldn’t have spared my life.”

Lin Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

“Not bad, quite clever. I like talking to smart people. Well then, I won’t beat around the bush. Hand over the Crying Hellhound, the summoning ritual, and the three-headed fusion ritual. I’m quite interested.”

As he spoke, the power of space transformed into a giant hand, which suddenly grabbed one of the Crypt Lord Hellhounds.

"I only need one of these dogs, the rest are yours."

The dog-man was about to fight back, but stopped when he heard Lin Ming's words.

After all, as a mage whose main skill is summoning, his summoned beasts are his entire power!
If we give all the Crimson Cry Hellhounds to Lin Ming, we might as well just let him die!

For some reason, the dog-man felt that Lin Ming's request was right at his bottom line, and he would fight desperately if there were one more.

But if you only need one.
It doesn't seem unacceptable.

"What about fusion rituals and summoning rituals?"

Lin Ming held the dog's head in one hand and reached out to the dog-man with the other.

Without hesitation, the dog-man immediately handed over the fusion ritual and the summoning ritual.

Both rituals were recorded in a book, and the dog-man readily handed the book to Lin Ming.

"Are you sure both rituals are included, and there are no other errors or omissions? I have a psychic ability that can determine whether you are telling the truth or lying."

A strange light flashed in Lin Ming's eyes, and his Eye of Truth was activated.

The dog-man was stunned, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, but he still nodded.
"Yes, everything is in there, there's no problem!"

He had considered giving Lin Ming a fake, but it wasn't easy to forge a fake on the spot. At the same time, he felt a pang of anxiety, thinking that giving Lin Ming a fake would mean certain death.

Now it seems my concerns were justified.

Lin Ming nodded with some relief and patted the dog-man on the shoulder.
"Take your dog and go back to your master. If I see you again in China, I'll slaughter you and your dog!"

She turned away without looking at the dog-man again.

The dog-man was quite sensible and quickly turned and left without lingering.

As for the Crying Hellhound, it was forcibly imprisoned in another space by Lin Ming, and there was no way to summon it back using the summoning system.

At least with the dog-man's summoning power, there was no way to achieve that. "Hehe, Brother Ming."

Before Lin Ming could even take a good look at the book he had just received, Mo Fan came over.

Lin Ming looked up and saw Mo Fan pointing to Zeng Guanglie's position.

Lin Ming glanced at the corpse and was about to suggest that Mo Fan burn it himself, but then he thought about it again.
Zeng Guanglie possessed at least one soul-level substance, and the fire seed was at least a top-tier soul seed with a domain.

Is it possible to extract the soul seed directly from the corpse?

Lin Ming felt that his idea was dangerous, but he still collected Zeng Guanglie's body.

"It's alright, I've taken it." Lin Ming waved his hand gently.

But Mo Fan still followed beside him with a smile, whispering...
"Ming-ge, can I talk to you about something? This guy is supposed to be the one who killed him. Is there any way to avoid implicating Fanxueshan?"

Lin Ming narrowed his eyes and looked at Mo Fan for a while.

This guy was worried that Zeng Guanglie's death would implicate Fanxueshan, and wanted to take the blame himself, just like when he was still a free man.

"Don't worry, this guy works for someone who is a political enemy of our Grand Councilor. To put it simply, he's a traitor. There won't be any trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Fan patted his chest.
"Hey! Traitor! You should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have taken care of him myself!"

Lin Ming shook his head, then, noticing Mo Fan's expression, seemed to have suddenly realized something and offered a reminder.

"Now that you're the head of Fanxueshan, you can't shoulder everything on your own like before. Fanxueshan was established using your name, so whatever you do will affect Fanxueshan. It's impossible to sever ties with Fanxueshan now."

Mo Fan was silent for a moment, then nodded.

However, he didn't care about the affairs of Fanxue Mountain, so he hadn't changed his mind yet and subconsciously still regarded himself as the hotheaded young man from the Nationalist government era who didn't care about the consequences of seeking revenge.

"Um. Thank you."

A voice of thanks came from behind him. Lin Ming turned around and found Yu Shishi standing behind him.

With tears still on her face, she thanked herself.

Moths fluttered around her, seemingly comforting her.

Lin Ming understood that she was thanking him for saving the moths.

If it weren't for him, the number of spirit moths would probably be several times smaller, or they might even have been wiped out by Zeng Guanglie's flames.

Moreover, he had killed Zeng Guanglie, avenging the Ling'e.

"If you want to express your gratitude, just tell me the location of the Moon Phoenix Moth."

Lin Ming gently extended his finger, and a moth obediently flew onto it.

Yu Shishi bit her lower lip hard, the force causing it to turn white and even reveal faint traces of blood.

Finally, she shook her head.
"I'd give you my life! But not the Moon Phoenix Moth!"

Lin Ming had anticipated this; he never expected Yu Shishi to reveal the whereabouts of the Moon Phoenix Moth.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the people from the Siyan Association and the dog man go.

With his eyes closed, his powerful mental energy instantly detected the two spatial imprints he had left behind.

One of them was Ke Lingxi, a director of the Judicial Research Association.

The other one is on the dog-man!
As Lin Ming expected, Ke Lingxi and the dog man got back together.

The dog-man did not go back to Dubai as Lin Ming had asked, which clearly showed that he had not given up on the Moon Phoenix Moth.

Now we just have to wait for them to find the Moon Phoenix Moth.
