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

Chapter 77 The Imperial Tomb in the Abyss of Evil

Unfortunately, they didn't notice anything unusual about any of the higher-ups. "If nothing unexpected happens, the person lurking among us is Salang. I won't let my subordinates sacrifice themselves like this without absolute certainty. Chairman, please give the next instructions." The masked man respectfully bowed to Han Ji.

"The ancient capital is in imminent danger. As the president of the Clock Tower Magic Association, I have no choice but to resort to this method. What he just said is true. We really don't have much time left. So, everyone, I apologize!" Han Ji waved his hand, and a group of purple figures appeared around the alley.

The Imperial Guards appeared and quickly surrounded the group of high-ranking officials. Everyone looked bewildered and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I know there is only one Salang, but in order for the rescue plan to proceed smoothly, I have no choice but to ask everyone to make this sacrifice. If the calamity can be quelled, I, Han, will apologize to everyone!" Han Ji waved his hand again, and a purple chain of souls flew over, quickly binding everyone present.

Elder Ling Xi of the Hunter Alliance took a deep breath and looked at President Han Ji with a resolute gaze, saying, "President, I hope that what you are doing will not lead to an even greater mistake. Without us, the Eight Directions King will have no one to deal with."

"You green tea guy! Your family is so rich! Why don't you buy a Winged Magic Tool!" Mo Fan teased Mu Bai while hugging him. "That's not my money! I didn't expect my uncle to be from the Black Church!" Mu Bai said with a complicated expression. Zhang Chen had just told Mu Bai that Mu He was also from the Black Church.

"Let's go! Hopefully, Zhu Meng and the others have found a way to resolve the catastrophe in the ancient capital!" Zhang Chen turned around and looked at the endless Necropolis Bell Tower Magic Association. "What! They need Kun Well water? Or the Earthly Sacred Spring?" Mo Fan asked in surprise. "Yes, bring out the Kun Well water you brought!" Han Ji said seriously. "We don't have any left!" Zhang Chen didn't expect that they would ask for the Earthly Sacred Spring. The two of them had already used it all.

"Stop joking! Stop joking! Take it out now!" Zhu Meng said angrily. Han Ji looked at their ugly expressions and suddenly had a bad feeling. He said, "Really, there's nothing left?"

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan nodded, while Han Ji merely nodded with a solemn expression, tapping his fingers lightly on the table as if waiting for something.

Zhang Chen, unaware of what had happened, waited quietly on the sidelines.

Finally, the masked man, Mu He, who was covered in wounds and whose original appearance was no longer recognizable, entered, followed by Zhang Xiaohou.

He said, "President, after hearing that those people were imprisoned and about to be executed, he volunteered to exchange the location of the ancient royal tomb for their release!"

"Alright!" Han Ji and the others had no other choice but to resort to this last resort: negotiating with the Black Vatican. This Tiger Deacon was really stubborn; no matter what kind of torture he was subjected to, he wouldn't say a word. They could only try to threaten him with Salam.

Mu He straightened up, looking at Zhang Xiaohou with a mocking smile: "You really are tough!"

"Speak quickly! Don't waste time!" the masked man snapped. He then spoke, "His memories were partially consumed by my Forgetfulness Worms, and those memories included information about the location of the ancient royal tomb. I will tell you the location of the ancient royal tomb!"

"You can wait until he takes the antidote and then compare your testimony with his, and then you can judge whether what I said is true or false. Of course, all of this is on the premise that you release the innocent federal councilors, elders, and military commanders."

He yanked his hand out of his heart and pulled out a blood-soaked red pill, spitting out a mouthful of blood at the same time! He had actually hidden the antidote next to his heart!

"Release them!" Han Ji coldly gave the order.

A team of Imperial Guard mages led Military Commander Lu Xu from his place of house arrest. Lu Xu appeared relatively calm, but he felt somewhat disappointed upon learning that the Supreme Magic Association was using a decapitation plan to deal with Salang, and that he was to be buried with him.

With Lu Xu's release, other high-ranking officials were also released one after another.

Han Ji did not release people randomly, but instead placed those with the highest suspicion at the back.

Zhang Chen and Mo Fan had now figured out what had happened. In other words, Salang might be among these high-ranking officials. Zhang Chen thought that if Salang really was there, he should just say so. He didn't believe that a group of super-ranked beings could let Salang escape.

If not, then so be it; he didn't want to expose his abnormality in front of this group of super-level mages.

He had no idea where the higher-ups were being held; he could only wait there.

When Yaoting was also released from the restraints and slowly walked in front of everyone, Han Ji waved his hand, signaling to stop the release.

"You can speak now." Han Ji's words seemed to be filled with murderous intent. As the president of the Magic Association, he bore the greatest responsibility for the entire ancient capital's catastrophe. If it weren't for the fact that the location of the tomb was indeed related to the lives of the millions of people still alive, he would have already torn Mu He to pieces!

Mu He grinned maniacally, walked to the window, pointed north, and, out of sight of the inner city, declared: "That's the answer you seek! The greatest necromancer, he placed his tomb there, a place more terrifying than hell, the Abyss of Fiends! Go ahead and discuss it with him, hahahahaha!"

His face was gradually becoming ferocious because of his smile, but his eyes were staring at Sha Yuan with fervor and piety, even with a hint of excitement as if he were admiring the most beautiful starry sky in the world.

"You mean the ancient king's tomb is inside the Abyss of Evil?" the masked man said in terror. Even though his face was covered, you could feel the muscles in his face twitching.

The Abyss of Slaughter! It's actually the Abyss of Slaughter!

"My God, is that even a place a person can get into?!"

"The Black Zone, that's forbidden territory for humanity—"

Those on the bell tower were all high-ranking mages, yet the cowardice they displayed in front of Sha Yuan was no different from that of ordinary people seeking refuge and helplessness!

No wonder they were so fearless. No wonder Muhe used this as a condition to exchange for Salang's life. In fact, even if they told them, what difference would it make? Could there really be someone here who could walk out of the Abyss of Evil alive?

No one, not even Han Ji, the strongest here, could do that.

"By the way, as a token of our Black Vatican's sincerity, I can also tell you a fact: you can release the remaining high-ranking officials, right?" Hu Jin said, appreciating the expressions on everyone's faces. Han Ji was frozen by this news, and when he gave the order, it was as if his soul had left his body.

The Imperial Guards released the other high-ranking officials, and Lingxi, Li Yujian, and others gradually regained their freedom. However, when they saw this apocalyptic nightmare, they felt that this place was not much better than hell!

The moment Lingxi came out, Zhang Chen's hair stood on end and he silently moved closer to Han Ji. Lingxi naturally saw Zhang Chen as well, but her expression didn't change much.

"The Abyss of Fiends is approaching the inner city step by step. After two more spatial drifts through the Abyss of Fiends, it will be the death of all of you. Whether you are ordinary people who are as numerous as cockroaches and rats in this city, or you high and mighty mages, you will all die, all of you will die!"

"Hahaha, a grand ceremony! That will be the most solemn and glorious moment of our Holy See's ceremonies, and our Lady Salan will be crowned as a god during this grand ceremony. Everyone will submit to Lady Salan, the Grim Reaper, and submit to her great wisdom and creation!"

Tiger Jin, in a frenzied and maniacal manner, said that after the little monkey took the antidote, it vomited up a lump of black flesh and quickly regained its memory. It endured its weakness and looked at everyone, nodding heavily before fainting. Flying Horn ordered someone to take it away to recover.

Han Ji ordered the Imperial Guards to subdue Mu He.
