Full-Time Magister: What kind of demonic tree is this? It's clearly a sacred tree!

Following Teacher Tang Yue's instructions, Mo Fan and Zhang Chen arrived at a small town north of Hangzhou called Xishui. However, the town's condition was completely different from its name. Everywhere there was cracked soil and abandoned fields. There wasn't even a stream, let alone a river. It was questionable whether they could even find water to drink.

The town's architectural style was out of place with the local conditions, suggesting that it was once a popular tourist destination. The town was filled with some rather retro-style inns. Following the address given by their mentor, Tang Yue, Zhang Chen and his companion found "Youjian Inn." They immediately noticed the slender and beautiful young mentor sitting by the window on the veranda, who was simply the most beautiful sight in this desolate town.

Tang Yue seemed to notice the two of them. She swept her hair back with a flourish, and her bright, clear eyes gazed at them with a smile.

Mo Fan and Zhang Chen, whose magical awakenings were about to fall on her, naturally showered her with praise: "Teacher Tang Yue is as beautiful and charming as ever..."

Tang Yue replied with a smile, "You two aren't bad either..."

"Huh? Your seed has sprouted?... "

……

"Alright, let's get down to business. You've probably noticed the disharmony in this town by now. Just two weeks ago, it was a vibrant place, but now it looks like a region in the northwest."

"Is something acting strange?" Mo Fan asked instinctively.

Zhang Chen awaited Tang Yue's next words.

"I'm not sure. Apparently, this strange thing has happened in quite a few small towns. The reason I called you here is to help me investigate this matter."

Tang Yue pointed to a man who looked very elegant outside the corridor window and said, "My identity is rather sensitive and I'm easily noticed. You guys go and follow that person later. If I'm not mistaken, he, who is wanted by our Tribunal, will know something."

Zhang Chen frowned slightly and asked, "What is his cultivation level? What kind of magic does he use? How many days have you been following him? And how long has your Inquisition issued a warrant for his arrest?"

Tang Yue thought for a moment and replied, "He should be a major in curses and a minor in fire. His curses should have reached the mid-level three, but I'm not sure about his fire. Our Inquisition has been after him for about three years. I've been tracking him for a week. Why are you asking these questions? I haven't been discovered!"

"No? You said before that your identity is easily discovered. You've been following him for a week. If he hadn't noticed, how could he have lived happily for three years while being wanted by your Inquisition... And why is it black magic again? Black magic is all that kind of..."

"What skills does a curse that reaches the mid-level 3rd tier possess? What kind of skills are there, like sneak attacks or traps?"

Tang Yue, who came from the Inquisition, couldn't possibly not know what skills each magic system had, so Zhang Chen asked cautiously, since dark magic skills were rather sinister.

"Once the curse is mastered to the intermediate level, it can weave a web of curses."

Tang Yue couldn't help but admire Zhang Chen's caution.

"Can it be done earlier?"

Tang Yue nodded

Zhang Chen's brows were furrowed.

"What's the point of following him?! You really should just grab him halfway and interrogate him, shouldn't you?"

Mo Fan then spoke up: "It seems he's leaving?!"

Tang Yue immediately said urgently, "Hurry up and follow!"

……

Mo Fan and Zhang Chen followed him about fifty meters away.

"We'll make our move as soon as he leaves the town!" Zhang Chen whispered.

"No, are we supposed to follow him to find out why the town is acting strangely?"

"Didn't you hear Tang Yue say that his curse ability allows him to set traps? By the time he gets there, he might have already set traps there... It's better to strike first than to strike later. If we just grab him, we'll know everything, won't we?"

"Isn't it possible for the two of us to beat them?"

"Isn't Teacher Tang Yue behind them?"

……

镇外

An elegant man strolled along a dried-up stream, humming an unknown tune. He seemed to be in a very good mood, in fact, it could be described as wonderful. Just thinking about how he could absorb and refine the spiritual seed soon, and also eat the little glutton that had been following him around for the past few days, made him smile.

Suddenly, something strange happened. The soil beneath his feet began to wriggle, and countless vines emerged from it, wrapping around his body.

The smile on his face froze instantly. The vines were too fast; he only had time to summon his armored magical artifacts to defend against them, but since they were restraints rather than attacks, they were useless.

Vines and Restraint

Kunzhilin Prison

Seeing this, Zhang Chen stopped Mo Fan, who was about to use the Fire Star Chart Book.

Neither of them rushed forward immediately. Zhang Chen didn't know how much fire element cultivation he possessed. What if he suddenly unleashed his power when we got there? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

Tang Yue emerged from the shadows, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Zhang Chen, what are you doing?! Didn't I tell you to follow him?!"

Zhang Chen calmly said, "Don't you think he knows something? Why not just grab him and interrogate him? What if we follow him and he's set a trap there? Wouldn't that be the end of us?..."

Tang Yue was speechless, but her anger only intensified. Although what he said made sense, didn't it imply that she was likely already exposed?

Tang Yue snorted coldly, then swaggered over to Chao He, who was bound like a dumpling and locked in a wooden cell.

Before Tang Yue could even press for answers, Chao He's words filled her with shame.

"Hey, isn't this the beautiful judge who's been following me? Why are you in such a hurry..."

Tang Yue interrupted him directly, pressing him for an answer: "What exactly happened to the drought in these few towns recently? Tell me honestly..."

Seeing Tang Yue's haughty demeanor, Chao He suddenly revealed a ferocious, sickly expression: "You think you can bind me like this!? Fierce Fist - Earthly Fiend!"

Tang Yue subconsciously took a few steps back, and then saw

He was surrounded by blazing flames, which shattered the vines that had bound him with magic. He emerged from the towering pillar of flames, unharmed except for some cracks in his armor.

He looked at Tang Yue with a wicked grin as he saw the cracks in his armor: "I forgot to tell you, I secretly put something in the food you ate at the restaurant these past few days. Are you feeling a bit thirsty now? I know it's almost impossible for you judges to eat something poisonous, so I put something that's good for you women, something to nourish your blood and yin."

As she spoke, a strange blush appeared on Tang Yue's cheeks, her heart raced, and her breathing became heavy. Most importantly, she felt something gently biting her skin, a tingling, unbearable sensation that made her feel weak and powerless. Yet, she felt as if she could transform into an uncontrollable gluttonous cat and pounce on a certain chest at any moment.

"I originally intended to toy with you for a bit and then kill you, but now I've changed my mind. I'm going to turn you into my slave, and when I'm done with you, I'll sell you on the black market!"

Chaohe glanced at his armor and magical artifacts.

Tang Yue trembled with humiliation: "Shameless! You beast!..."
