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

Chapter 175 The Red-Clad Woman's Disarrayed Escape, Meeting at the Clock Tower!

Otherwise, Mu Ningxue wouldn't have been simply frozen in the first place.

It's likely that Mu Ningxue didn't intend to tear Mu He to pieces.

It was only after hearing Mu He's vicious dying words that he flew into a rage and killed him!

After all, Lu Ran had initially asked the judge to go to the Clock Tower Magic Association to inform Han Ji.

He had originally planned to leave a body for Han Ji as evidence of Mu He's killing.

However, considering that Mu Ningxue was implicated because Mu He was a high-ranking member of the Black Church in the original novel, she felt that this was to be expected.

"Huh~"

After killing Mu He, Mu Ningxue closed her eyes and leaned against Lu Ran's chest, breathing softly.

Holding Mu Ningxue in his arms, Lu Ran looked at the dead Mu He and the several people in blue.

After Muhe's death, on his scattered, broken body and severed arms, a clearly visible centipede-like creature was faintly visible, rapidly disappearing.

The other blue-clad men's arms looked the same.

This is exactly the same as the forgetfulness worm that was previously implanted on Zhang Xiaohou's arm!
Lu Ran's eyes narrowed.

If he guessed correctly, all those above the rank of Blue-Clad Deacon had been infected with the Forgetfulness Worm!
Using telekinesis, he grabbed Mu He's severed arm from a distance and gave it a sharp grip!
Lu Ran directly squeezed out the Forget-Me-Not insect, but the life signs of this Forget-Me-Not insect were already extremely weak!

Suddenly, Lu Ran thought of a possibility.

With the killing of Muhehe and the other blue-clad figures here, the Black Vatican has lost at least half of its manpower in the ancient capital.

Is it possible that Nasalam, as a cardinal, sensed something?
If Salang senses this, he will certainly not stay in the ancient capital!
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ran felt that killing Mu He was a bit reckless.

However, the opportunity to kill so many blue-clad individuals at once is a rare one.

Therefore, Lu Ran didn't regret it much and said to Mu Ningxue:

"Above Muhe, there was another cardinal named Salang, who might be in the ancient capital now!"

"Based on the clues I've gathered, I need to go check if she's still there!"

After saying that, Lu Ran, holding Mu Ningxue's body, disappeared in a flash of silver light.

Outside the ancient city street, Han Ji, who had rushed over, suddenly braked.

"Space-based system? It was Lu Ran who left?"

Han Ji was stunned for a moment, then looked at the store where Lu Ran had left and rushed inside.

"Oh, guest." The receptionist, surnamed Mu, blinked, and saw a figure flash by.

In the underground chamber, Han Ji's figure appeared. The scene before him shocked even the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association!
Countless blue-clad corpses were severed, blood mist billowed and dripped onto the ground.

The most conspicuous one, dressed in ordinary clothes, died a particularly gruesome death; not a single body was intact, the remains were so shattered they couldn't be pieced together.
"Could this all be the work of that Councilor Lu Ran?"

"Could this person be Mu He, the Grand Steward of Hujin that Zhang Xiaohou mentioned?"

Han Ji's pupils contracted even more when he saw Mu He's severed head!
One person, single-handedly annihilating the blue-clad figures, such merit is beyond words!
Han Ji suddenly remembered the scene of Lu Ran hurriedly leaving using high-level spatial magic. Could it be that he discovered the traces of the other blue-clad figures?
Or perhaps he discovered the whereabouts of that cardinal from the Black Vatican?
Thinking about all this, Han Ji felt a little excited!

He then thought he should hurry back to the clock tower and tell the other senior officers the good news.

Gulou Hunters Alliance.

"Where is Elder Lingxi?!" Ignoring the discussions of the other hunter mages, Lu Ran took out his councilor badge, grabbed an alliance manager, and asked.

"Ah? Elder Lingxi, she didn't go out today, she's here."

Lu Ran's eyes narrowed, and with a flash of silver light, he disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, the magnificent office was completely empty!
Lu Ran scanned the room with his mental power and found a magical artifact that blocked his mental power from detecting it!
But it couldn't stop the intensity of his seventh realm of mental power!

With a 'bang'!
A device in the room broke, and Lu Ran's mental energy probed out and discovered a secret room!
There was a hidden room in the office; if Lu Ran hadn't known that Salang was a woman, he would have suspected something.
Amidst a flash of silver light, Lu Ran's figure appeared inside the secret room.

"pity."

The secret room was empty except for a sofa. It was clear that Salang had prepared the room beforehand.

Using his mental energy to scan the area, Lu Ran found nothing of value.

Clock Tower Magical Society.

Han Ji, who had rushed back long ago, put aside his work and personally entertained Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan, and others.

Upon learning that Mu Ningxue had personally killed Mu He, Han Ji was overjoyed!
"Okay, okay!"

Later, he also learned from Mu Ningxue that Mu He was actually a relative of Mu Ningxue!
Han Ji frowned, and Mu Ningxue calmly said:
"Mu He's joining the Black Church has nothing to do with the Mu family in Bo City. My Mu family is a collateral branch of the Mu clan. As for the Mu family in the capital, I have no idea whether there are any members of the Black Church. I have no connection with the Mu family in the capital."

"I only hope that after this matter is resolved, Chairman Han can give my family justice!"

Upon hearing this, Han Ji pondered for a moment, then nodded emphatically and said:
"If the Mu family of Bocheng behind you can truly pass the trial, then I, Han Ji, will definitely give you justice!"

"Furthermore, the Ancient Capital Bell Tower Magic Association will not forget your merit in personally killing Mu He, the blue-robed Grand Deacon of the Black Church, and will definitely inform the entire city afterwards!"

After Han Ji said this, the surrounding high-ranking members of the Magic Association all looked at Mu Ningxue with admiration.

Just as Han Ji was about to ask Zhang Xiaohou more questions about the Black Vatican, a commotion arose from the outer perimeter.

"Sir, please stop here. Allow us to go in and inform them."

"An announcement? Your president already knows I'm here!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Ran's figure disappeared and reappeared in the conference hall on the top floor of the clock tower.

Instead of being annoyed by the young man who had trespassed, Han Ji was delighted.

"You're Lu Ran? The newly appointed honorary councilor of the Magic Court and Hangzhou? You're truly extraordinary!" Han Ji strode forward and stared intently at Lu Ran for a while.

Lu Ran said modestly:
"President Han is too kind. It has been several months since I was appointed as an honorary councilor, and there is no need to bring up the past."

Seeing that Lu Ran was neither humble nor arrogant, and that he spoke and acted politely, Han Ji was even more gratified, feeling that a hero had emerged from among the young!
"You have killed several blue-robed deacons of the Black Church for the ancient capital. My Magic Association will not forget this merit!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ran shook his head and said:
"President Han, now is not the time to reward merits. I have some important intelligence about the Black Church, about the Abyss of Fiends, and about the Ancient King. I think the high-ranking members of the Ancient Capital must know about it!"

Upon hearing this, a look of seriousness appeared on Han Ji's face.

At this moment, only a few of his confidants were in the meeting room.

Lu Ran's meaning was clearly that he should summon all the people who were capable of taking charge of a region.

That must be a super-level expert. Such figures are extremely rare in the ancient capital!
