Full-Time Magister: Eight Unique Skills at the Start, Invincible After Descending the Mountain

Chapter 88 The Truth, Splitting Up

"Hong Jun?! How could it be him?!"

The people of Huacun recognized him instantly.

"My esteemed sorcerer, are you mistaken? How could Hong Jun possibly have ties to the Black Vatican!"

The village chief hurriedly spoke up, and the other villagers also looked terrified, with many pleading for mercy.

Luo Chen shook his head, offering no further explanation, and simply tossed Hong Jun aside, causing him to instantly crash to the ground.

"What do you mean? A mole of the Black Vatican? Hu Jin's orders to you were to keep an eye on Zhang Xiaohou, right?"

Luo Chen asked with a smile:

"Now that you're exposed... Do you have any last words?"

Hong Jun had just recovered from the fear of death when he heard Luo Chen's words, and his face instantly turned ferocious:

"If you dare kill me, Grand Deacon Hujin will find out immediately, and you will all be executed along with me!"

Upon hearing this, the people of Huacun froze.

Hong Jun did not defend himself, but instead threatened Luo Chen.

Doesn't this indirectly prove that some of them are members of the Black Vatican?

"Hong Jun, how could you join the Black Vatican? We are all from Weiju Village, and we must abide by our ancestral teachings..."

Su Xiaoluo was stunned. She couldn't believe that Hong Jun, who lived in the village, was actually a lackey of the Black Vatican.

"Hmph, don't give me any ancestral teachings. You're a bunch of primitive tribes! It's because of you old fogies that I was born in your dilapidated place!"

"It makes me, a mage, feel so ashamed in front of my classmates that I can't even hold my head up!"

Hong Jun roared, his face completely losing its pretense, revealing his contempt for everyone in the village.

"Then...then you don't need to join the Black Church. I'm willing to be punished by my ancestors and drive out the people of Yangyang Village."

"I'll secretly take some water from the Kun Well every month so that your path to becoming a mage will be smoother, and so that you'll be stronger than those who mock you..."

"Village chief Xie Sang said with a face full of despair."

"Too slow! The Kun Well water is far too slow to have any effect on cultivation! What the Black Vatican gave me is something you, old man, can't even imagine!"

Hong Jun spoke as if he were possessed.

"What a ridiculous idea..."

Luo Chen calmly looked at Hong Jun, who was almost insane, and directly crushed him with magic.

Afterwards, Luo Chen ignored the complicated expressions of the Huacun villagers and turned directly to deal with Zhang Xiaohou's problem.

After cutting open the skin on Zhang Xiaohou's arm, Luo Chen used his two hands to pull the several-centimeter-long forget-me-not from Zhang Xiaohou's arm.

Immediately afterwards, a multi-legged worm several tens of centimeters long appeared in everyone's sight.

The extracted insect, still alive and kicking, was even struggling!

It's disgusting just to look at it!

Luo Chen didn't crush the Forget-Me-Not along with it. Instead, he found a jar, stuffed the Forget-Me-Not inside, and sealed it away...

Who knows if the Black Vatican can monitor the life and death of Wangchong? It would be bad if we alerted them; it's always good to be prepared.

After the forgetful insect was pulled out, Zhang Xiaohou was momentarily dazed.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes cleared...

"Brother Luo, Brother Fan?!"

Zhang Xiaohou recalled his previous memories, felt a moment of confusion, and then spoke.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaohou's tone, Mo Fan excitedly walked over and punched Zhang Xiaohou's shoulder twice.

"I knew you'd be alright, Monkey! I almost thought you'd really forgotten about us! Luckily, I brought Old Luo along!"

"Brother Fan, I'm perfectly fine, aren't I?"

"Good my ass! You've fallen for the Black Vatican's tricks. If it weren't for Old Luo, you'd be dead by now!"

Mo Fan retorted without hesitation.

Nevertheless, Mo Fan was quite happy to see Zhang Xiaohou safe and sound.

"Old Luo and I came all this way specifically to see you! Putting everything else aside, just this... you absolutely have to treat us to a meal tonight!"

"Don't worry, Brother Fan, it's only right that I treat you, but I'm afraid we'll have to wait until this matter is over... We probably don't have time right now."

A smile appeared on Zhang Xiaohou's face, but then his expression darkened as he recalled the memories in his mind.

"What do you mean?"

Mo Fan didn't quite understand.

"It's simple, monkey. Tell me, what exactly is this memory that the Black Vatican uses to make you forget things, even with the Forgetfulness Worm?"

Although Luo Chen understood Zhang Xiaohou's meaning, he went straight to the point and asked directly.

Zhang Xiaohou nodded, then lowered his head and began to recount his memories.

"A few months ago, my comrades and I encountered the Abyss of Evil while on a mission and were drawn into it. I was lucky enough to be the only one to come out of the Abyss alive, but then I encountered members of the Black Church."

The Black Vatican knocked me unconscious and planted a memory-destroying worm in me. Before the memory-destroying worm consumed my memories, I remember the leader in blue revealing the Black Vatican's plan.

They intend to lure the Sha Yuan to the inner city of the ancient capital, making the entire ancient capital a sacrifice to resurrect the ancient king!

The ancient king's tomb is located in the Abyss of Evil. The only way to stop the Abyss of Evil is to enter it and find the ancient king!

And most importantly, the face of the blue-clad deacon I saw with my own eyes—it was Mu He!

When Zhang Xiaohou recalled this memory, his eyes were filled with surprise as he recounted it.

"Mu He? Mu Bai's uncle?!"

Mo Fan's eyes widened in surprise.

Although he had always disliked Mu Bai, that was all he disliked.

Mo Fan never expected that Mu Bai's uncle was involved with the Black Vatican, and was even a blue-robed deacon!

That's a big fish!

"Old Luo, what do you say? How should we handle this?"

Mo Fan frowned deeply after hearing what Zhang Xiaohou said.

The Black Vatican, the Abyss of Evil, the Ancient King...

Neither of them are people they can handle right now, but they may be the only ones who know the inside story, and they can't just sit idly by.

"It's simple, we'll split up. You take the monkey to Mu Bai and ask about his uncle's accommodation, so we can capture him in one fell swoop."

I went to the Buddhist Association and told the councilors about this, instructing them to seek assistance from the Palace Museum in advance, make all necessary preparations, and at the same time, arrest Mu He…”

Luo Chen had already laid out the plan.

It's highly likely that Chief Steward Hujin is unaware that the Forgetfulness Worm has been removed from Zhang Xiaohou's body. If the timing is right, he can be arrested and brought to justice.

"Okay, let's do it your way!"

Mo Fan thought about it for a moment and then nodded in agreement with Luo Chen's plan.

After learning of the Black Vatican's conspiracy, Luo Chen, Mo Fan, and Zhang Xiaohou organized the people of Hua Village to travel to the ancient capital.

With Luo Chen protecting them, the person who launched the sneak attack in the original story ultimately did not choose to make a move...

The group returned to the ancient capital safely.

The guards were also somewhat surprised, clearly not expecting that someone from the dilapidated village could lead hundreds of people from the village to the ancient capital.

You should know that the presence of several hundred people at night can attract even a warrior-level undead, but they walked over unharmed!

The gatekeepers of the ancient capital were somewhat surprised, but after the inspection, they did not stop the people from entering the city.

After Luo Chen and Mo Fan escorted the villagers to the ancient capital where the Magic Association took over their care, they began to work separately...
