Versatile Mage: Lord of the Styx, but Lord of the Living

Chapter 174 Mu Ningxue rages and attacks after annihilating the Black Vatican's blue-robed followers!
Bocheng Street.

After the Bo City massacre, the shadows of the original Bo City people could be seen in major first-tier cities.

The local government has also introduced relevant policies to resettle these Bocheng residents.

In order to settle the people of Bocheng, the ancient capital specially designated a street for them to settle down and conduct business.

As the eldest daughter of the Mu family in Bocheng, Mu Ningxue, though not involved in business, had heard some news about her clan from her father.

Among them, a group led by Mu He settled in the ancient capital.

Although Mu He is not a well-known figure in the entire ancient capital, he still owns a shop on Bocheng Street and can be considered a small business owner.

It is worth mentioning that when Lu Ran inquired in Bocheng Street, he also learned about Mu Bai and Zhou Min.

These two men are quite famous in Bocheng Street. They were both admitted to the local prestigious universities and are top students from the ancient capital's academic institutions. They bring great honor to the Bocheng people who work here, and therefore enjoy a high reputation.

Both of them were his high school classmates. If the situation weren't so urgent, Lu Ran wouldn't mind meeting them for a drink.

In the original novel, Mu Bai was Mu He's illegitimate son.
However, the Mu family was unaware of this secret.
With a clue on Bocheng Street, Lu Ran and Mu Ningxue quickly found a shop.

Mu Ningxue recognized the person at the front desk; she seemed to be from a certain clan, but she couldn't recall their name.

After confirming that it really was Mu He's shop, Mu Ningxue's heart grew even colder.

"Gentlemen, is there anything you'd like to see?" asked the receptionist surnamed Mu.

Lu Ran's eyes flashed, and he instantly used his mental power to control the soul and read some of his memories.

"It has nothing to do with the Black Vatican."

After Lu Ran finished speaking, he took Mu Ningxue's hand and entered the store in a dignified manner.

The teller, surnamed Mu, shook his head, and his eyes quickly regained their clarity, as if nothing had just happened.

At this moment, Lu Ran's spiritual power quietly reached out and swept across the surroundings.

He was very lucky; he actually located Mu He's position!
Not only Muhe, but also several black Vatican deacons dressed in blue!

However, these few people in blue were rather ordinary compared to Mu He.

Not only did they have to bow down in worship, but they also had to wear blue uniforms.

At this moment, they were talking in hushed tones, plotting something, but they could not escape Lu Ran's perception.

Through the telepathic connection, Lu Ran enabled Mu Ningxue to hear these unspoken voices as well.

"My lord, the sect leader has made all the arrangements," a blue-robed steward reported.

"My lord, the Abyss of Fiends will soon descend upon the ancient capital!" another man in blue exclaimed excitedly.

"Good, very good, well done!"

"This celebration must not have any mishaps, for the sake of Lord Salan's name as the Grim Reaper!"

In the shadows, Lu Ran noticed that Mu He, like the other men in blue, had fanatical expressions on their faces; they were all madmen!
Mu Ningxue gripped Lu Ran's hand tightly, her expression growing increasingly cold and gloomy.

What Zhang Xiaohou said before was one thing, but hearing the truth with one's own ears was another.

At this moment, all of Mu Ningxue's hesitation disappeared, and her desire to personally execute Mu He surged to unprecedented heights.

"But you won't live to see that day!"

Suddenly, a cold, piercing sound echoed in the hearts of everyone in blue, making them dizzy and causing a sharp pain in their minds!
Mu He clutched his head, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, veins bulging on his chest!

An ice-based domain rapidly unfolded, and the violent chill directly blasted away several blue-clad figures beside him.

The temperature in the dark room plummeted.

Countless ice crystal fragments appeared on the barrier that Lu Ran had set up. "A spatial barrier?" Mu He was stunned, his eyes widening!
He couldn't believe that his hideout had been infiltrated without him noticing, and he hadn't even noticed a thing!
"what!"

"My lord, save me!!"

The next moment, several pitiful wails rang out behind him.

Mu He suddenly turned his head and found that the heads of several men in blue had been moved, their bodies separated!
The person who could instantly and silently kill several high-level blue-robed cultivators right under his nose was clearly up to no good!
At the very least, it's something he absolutely cannot fight against!
With this thought in mind, Mu He immediately abandoned the idea of ​​resistance.

Mu He tried to use the ice domain to escape, but the next moment, he felt a sharp pain in his head, as if half of his skull had been flipped off.

"Ah! Damn it, is this a mental shock?!"

Mu He knelt on the ground, and the ice domain protecting him instantly crumbled and disintegrated!

"Tap, tap"

From the dark room came the soft clatter of high heels.

Mu He held his head in one hand, glanced up at the direction of the sound, and was dumbfounded the next moment.

He couldn't believe that the person who had appeared in his field of vision was actually his genius niece, Mu Ningxue!

"Ning, Ning Xue? What are you doing here?!" Mu He exclaimed in a daze.

"Uncle, this is the last time I will address you like this."

Mu Ningxue walked over slowly, each word spoken through gritted teeth, her voice growing increasingly cold and piercing.

All around her, ice flowers from the Ice Domain fell, freezing the defenseless Mu He piece by piece from head to toe!

Seeing this, Mu He shouted in a panic:

"No, Ning Xue, you can't do this! I'm your uncle!!"

Mu Ningxue stared at him with her beautiful eyes and said coldly:
"From now on, no!"

Having been severely injured by the power of the spirit, Mu He was powerless to stop the freezing!
"No! I can't die like this!" Mu He roared with his last scream.

But no one responded to him.

Before being completely frozen, Mu He saw a figure emerge from the darkness behind Mu Ningxue in his field of vision!
His vision gradually blurred, but the face he saw made Mu He's heart leap and his pulse surge!
This face is a target that the Black Vatican must kill!

He actually came to the ancient capital too!
Lu Ran!!
In an instant, Mu He finally understood why Mu Ningxue was able to defeat them!

It turns out that it wasn't Mu Ningxue who did it, but Lu Ran!

From beginning to end, it was this guy who attacked me from the shadows!
His own ice domain was also easily broken!

"If I had known we were in Bo City, I should have fought with everything to kill you!"

These were the last words Mu He spoke before he was frozen in ice.

Lu Ran narrowed his eyes but remained silent.

On the contrary, Mu Ningxue's reaction exceeded her expectations.

Mu Ningxue raised her fair right arm, her fingers slightly raised, directly facing Mu He's frozen ice sculpture.

"You shouldn't have had any intention of harming him!"

Before the words were finished, a sound like an ice sculpture shattering echoed as large shards of ice crystals crashed onto the floor of the dark room.

Mu He, along with the ice sculpture, was shattered into countless pieces, his flesh and blood mangled and pulverized!

Lu Ran was somewhat surprised; this was beyond his expectations.
It seems that Mu He's last words truly enraged Mu Ningxue!
