Full-time monk: I am the prophet of civilization!

As its name suggests, its purpose is to help those who are suffering to be liberated and reborn in the Pure Land.

As the chanting spread, the black beast demons, which had previously been motionless, rose again.

However, this time, they were no longer in the form of black beasts crawling on all fours.

Instead, he slowly straightened his body and became a dignified person again.

"Thank you……"

The distorted roar of the beast could not mask the voice of the soul emanating from the depths of the heart.

At this moment, the cursed souls found peace.

But their remaining bodies still stood upright.

Looking at those familiar faces, all stubbornly standing, Xinxia seemed to see herself struggling to get up...

Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou were also filled with mixed feelings.

I am happy that the fishy grains have regained the dignity of being human.

I feel regret and sorrow for the passing of these hardworking people who led ordinary lives...

As the chanting ended, the starlight faded.

The sun shone brightly on the earth once more, but only those bodies that stood firm told the story of what had happened.

"Mu Zhuoyun, Mu Ningxue, is there anything else you want to say?"

Lin Fan asked in a deep voice, his face expressionless.

Upon hearing this, both Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue swayed slightly, their minds jolted.

Finally, Mu Zhuoyun spoke first, trembling.

"...Councilor Lin, it was my fault for trusting Mu He and Yu Ang. It was all my fault."

"But Ning Xue really has nothing to do with all of this, please investigate thoroughly..."

"No, my father is definitely not a member of the Black Church..."

Mu Ningxue said anxiously, trying to produce evidence and guarantee documents, but found that she had no way to do so.

only...

"I swear on my life that my father, Mu Zhuoyun, is absolutely not a member of the Black Vatican!"

Although this father and daughter are quite annoying in many ways.

But the father-daughter bond is the only thing that is truly real.

Seeing this, Lin Fan stopped being silent and spoke softly.

“I said before, if I had really misjudged you, I would have arrested you long ago.”

After saying that, Lin Fan ignored Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue.

The father-daughter relationship between Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue is indeed good, but that's all.

Before experiencing the harsh realities of life and shedding that sense of superiority, foolishness, and arrogance.

Even though Mu Ningxue possessed the potential of forbidden spells, Lin Fan disdained to even consider it.

It should be noted that in the original timeline, most of the troubles Mo Fan encountered were caused by Mu Ningxue.

His conflict with Mu Zhuoyun, his bet with Yu Ang, his departure from the National Government team, and the resentment he incurred by the other members of the National Government team.

Offending the Lu family, the Mu family, and the Nanrong family...

Later, to fulfill Mu Ningxue's request, Fanxue Mountain was built, which cost a lot of resources and favors.

He fought to the death with Zhao Jing and six or seven other top-tier level three mages...

And what about Mu Ningxue?

Initially aloof and self-righteous, later acting naively and being deceived multiple times, eventually causing trouble for himself and dragging others down with him...

It wasn't until he was forced into Antarctica that his mindset completely changed...

Today, this pretty face, who is arrogant and conceited because of her talent and lacks the ability to recognize talent, is not yet capable of shouldering the heavy responsibility of the development of civilization.

However, Mu Ningxue was unaware of Lin Fan's evaluation of her.

After hearing Lin Fan's words, she felt a great sense of relief.

At least her father, Mu Zhuoyun, won't be arrested as a member of a black cult...

"Your subordinate Zhang Qing greets Lord Lin Fan."

While Lin Fan was talking with Mu Zhuoyun and Mu Ningxue, Zhang Qing, the judge who had once guarded the Three Steps Pagoda, also arrived at the Mu Family Manor.

Accompanying him were dozens of mid- to high-level mages dressed in court attire.

These judges were naturally dispatched by Lin Fan to assist in eliminating the Black Vatican.

After all, there are still too many and too scattered Black Vatican rats in Bo City.

It would take a lot of time to catch all of them.

"As per your instructions, all 1334 members of the Black Vatican in Bo City have been apprehended and brought to justice."

"Among them, the Black Vatican cultists from Bocheng Guard have been killed by a single strike..."

Slicing through the air...

Upon hearing the familiar name, Lin Fan couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

Zhan Kong, whose real name is Zu Xingyi, is the son of the Zu family patriarch.

Because of Qin Yu'er, they offended the Court of Judgment, and their faction was abolished.

If it weren't for his ancestral family's protection, which allowed him to be transferred to Bo City to avoid trouble, he wouldn't have survived until he could wear the ancient royal armor.

Just thinking about how, in the original timeline, even a single high-level cultivator could be killed by a single blade, yet the people from Bo City and the Ancient Village could still enter the Abyss of Evil and don the armor before Zhang Xiaohou and the others...

Lin Fan didn't even know how to evaluate the Void Slash...

Although Lin Fan didn't know how to evaluate Zhuan Kong, Zhuan Kong knew how powerful Lin Fan was.

"As the saying goes, heroes emerge from among the young. Councilor Lin Fan is truly a promising young man..."

After clearing out the back of the Black Holy See of Wei, Manma and Zhenzhen, Huang Miao and Huang Miao disturbed the fourth rate of the garden.

Although Zhan Kong did not see the details of what happened.

But through the still-lingering dark pool of poison, the standing corpses, the dilapidated manor, and the pink constellations seen along the way…

By observing the air, one can roughly deduce what happened there.

'This boy, around 16 years old, is really strong, strong in every sense of the word…'

Chapter 51 The National Government Competition and the Relocation to the Maritime City

"His Excellency Zhan Kong also performed brilliantly in the National Games."

Upon hearing Zhan Kong's praise, Lin Fan, being very considerate, returned the compliment.

However, Zhan Kong's expression stiffened for a moment after hearing about the National Government Tournament.

Then, with a mix of regret, resentment, and anticipation, she spoke to Lin Fan.

"The National Government Competition... is all in the past..."

"The future belongs to you young people..."

"With your skills, if you participate in the next National Games, you will surely win the championship."

"Yes, with Councilor Lin's abilities, participating in the National Government Competition would be a piece of cake..."

After the breakthrough, representatives from other forces in Bo City also rushed to this place, and they all echoed his praise.

Don't be fooled by the image of the Hunter Alliance's Bo City leader and the Magic Association's Bo City branch president...

In front of Lin Fan, a member of the tribunal, these ordinary mid-level monks were not even as good as Zhang Qing, the gatekeeper judge.

Not to mention that Lin Fan is the youngest councilor in Donghuang, and you might only get to meet him once in your life.

The fishy silk was ruined by coal and rice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Fan immediately thought of the baby cup competition that was common in the fairy novel next door.

However, the current time is September 7, 2014, and the National Government Competition is held every four years.

The last National Championship was less than a year ago, and there are still 3 years until the next National Championship in 2017.

(Note: Mo Fan participated in that competition from February 2021 to February 2022.)

After three years, Lin Fan estimated that he should be close to mastering forbidden spells...

Even if someone is of the right age, they probably won't be able to participate in the National Games with this level of cultivation.

As for suppressing one's cultivation level for a national competition?

Lin Fan wouldn't risk losing a watermelon for a sesame seed.

In any case, the purpose of the National Tournament is simply to facilitate the Holy City and the International Magic Association in allocating international resources based on rankings.

Even if resources are divided, it can never compare to the value of an entire region like Zhuoyuan or Kunyu Mountain.

The Earth Core that Donghuang needs is even more impossible to obtain.

For Lin Fan and Donghuang, it would be more practical to focus on recovering their lost territories and changing the status quo of their domestic enclaves.

Without explaining to Zhan Kong and the others, Lin Fan simply smiled and looked towards the swarm of blood-red fish.

"Have the Black Church members in places like the Hunter's Alliance and the Magic Association in Bo City been completely wiped out?"

"Thanks to Councilor Lin's guidance, the Black Vatican within the Magic Association has been successfully contained."

Yang Zuohe, the representative of the Magic Association, replied with utmost admiration.

Representatives from the Hunter Alliance and the magic school also answered Lin Fan's questions respectfully.

As Zhang Qing previously stated, the trial was led by the court and with the cooperation of all parties.

All members of the Black Vatican within Bo City have been apprehended and brought to justice.

"Hmm, not bad."

After confirming that the [World Library] had verified the information, Lin Fan nodded slightly, a satisfied smile appearing on his lips.

Since we see evil, and pass by evil, let's take care of it as we go.

For Lin Fan, this was a perfectly normal thing.

He's not the kind of person who's afraid of changing the plot (the direction of the world line) and therefore hesitant to act.

If, for the sake of the so-called plot, evil is allowed to go unpunished.

Until the disaster in Bocheng, how many innocent lives like Wang Niu and Zhang Yu were lost?

It's just that Salang and Wu Ku aren't in Donghuang right now, otherwise Lin Fan would have captured them both as well.

"Zhang Qing, the rest is up to you."

All the Black Vatican followers, led by Mu He, were captured, and the Black Beast Demons were all exorcised.

The remaining finishing touches can be left to the judges, including Zhang Qing.

In any case, dealing with the troubles left behind by the Black Vatican is a good fit for their profession.

As for Lin Fan and the others, they naturally went back to eat.

After all, Mo Fan had already sent messages to Mo Jiaxing and Mo Qing.

Judging by the time, we should be back by now.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as Lin Fan had predicted.

Having just seen off the Magic Association members and others, Mo Fan returned to his home and saw a middle-aged man and woman.

"Dad, Aunt, why are you back so early?"

"Nonsense, Xinxia's legs are healed, how could your aunt and I wait until tonight to come back?"

Mo Jiaxing and Mo Fan are indeed father and son; they both speak so frankly.
