Full-Time Mage: One random forbidden spell per month

Chapter 43 Invites Mo Fan to Join the Ice Emperor Hunting Group

"Sir, who is our target this time?"

Fu Tianming looked at the masked man in black in front of him, and the cold aura emanating from him made him feel uneasy.

The man in black was Mu Yuang. After losing his magical duel with Mo Fan, he was punished by the Black Church, which disfigured half of his face.

Therefore, he wished he could tear Mo Fan to pieces, but he dared not disobey the steward's mission and could only put Mo Fan aside for the time being.

"Li Xingze has been found!"

A red light flashed in Mu Yuang's eyes. This guy's talent had caught the attention of the deacon, who was even planning to recommend him to a higher-ranking cardinal.

That was someone he had never even met before, so why should he?

He infiltrated the Black Vatican for many years, and even if he didn't achieve anything, he certainly put in a lot of hard work, yet he couldn't compare to Li Xingze.

"Li Xingze?" Fu Tianming was stunned for a moment, then took two steps back.

Are you kidding me? A bunch of noobs going to take on Li Xingze?

Let alone how strong Li Xingze is now, even Li Xingze a year ago was someone they couldn't handle!

Mu Yuang glanced coldly at Fu Tianming, sneering inwardly. "So cowardly and timid, no wonder he's a member of the Gray-Clad Cult."

"As long as we bring Li Xingze into the Vatican, all three of you will have a chance to be promoted to priests," Mu Yuang said.

Upon hearing this, Fu Tianming and the other two immediately forgot their fear and declared, "We are willing to follow the priest's arrangements!"

"But... in my opinion, it's unlikely that Li Xingze will comply."

"Hmph!" Mu Yuang smiled wickedly, "As long as he kills the students of Pearl Academy, there will only be one path in front of him."

Upon hearing this idea, Fu Tianming and the other two immediately applauded. As long as Li Xingze had nowhere to hide, the task would be much simpler.

On Li Xingze's side, with Lingling's tracking, the group quickly found the Shadow Beast.

"With Lao Li's summoned beasts around, we don't even need to lift a finger."

Looking at the shadow beast being toyed with by the golden flame dragon lion, Mo Fan was filled with envy. Why was Li Xingze so lucky to be able to encounter a summoned beast with such a high bloodline?

Why did he only encounter one Shadow Wolf Beast? That's so unfair!

However, if he were to actually summon a beast with such a high bloodline, he really wouldn't be able to afford to raise it.

However, this is only temporary. Once his necromancy skills improve further, he will be able to attempt to create artifacts for the dead.

This is truly a case of making a huge profit from a small investment!

By then, spirit seeds and contracted beasts will be no problem at all!

"Brother Ze's summoned beast is too powerful. If it were me, I probably wouldn't have lasted even a minute." Xu Zhaoting also sighed with emotion.

Since accepting the Stardust Artifact, Xu Zhaoting has started calling him "Brother Ze".

Without the help of a spirit-grade stardust artifact, he couldn't have cultivated the wind element to the third level of the initial stage so quickly.

In less than three minutes, the Golden Flame Dragon Lion completely suppressed the Shadow Beast, and then Mu Nujiao bound it.

"Now that we have the Shadow Beast, should we put it directly into the iron cage?" Mu Nujiao asked Li Xingze, leading the Shadow Beast by a vine.

With Li Xingze's intimidating presence, it's highly unlikely that anyone would dare to forcibly seize it, unless someone can rally more than twenty people.

But that's unrealistic. Everyone here is a mid-level mage; no one would willingly become someone else's henchman.

Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting also looked at Li Xingze, as they both felt that Li Xingze was plotting something.

"Mu Nujiao, you should go back to school first. We can handle the rest," Li Xingze said.

"Um?"

Although Mu Nujiao had many doubts, she hesitated for a moment before nodding and leaving.

Seeing Mu Nujiao's retreating figure, Li Xingze slowly said, "Among these thousand mid-level mages, there are spies from the Black Vatican."

"What!" Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting exclaimed in surprise, their pupils trembling slightly.

This wasn't the first time the Black Vatican had heard of it, but hearing it again still shocked them.

This is Mingzhu Academy! If even Mingzhu Academy has spies from the Black Vatican, how many more Black Vatican spies are hiding in the shadows in Shanghai?

"Who is it?" Mo Fan asked hurriedly.

Li Xingze shook his head. Even with his excellent memory, so much time had passed that he couldn't quite remember. He only vaguely remembered that there seemed to be someone surnamed Fu.

He investigated the names of the remaining thousand students and found that there was indeed one surnamed Fu, named Fu Tianming.

"Then what should we do?" Xu Zhaoting did not question Li Xingze's meaning at all. Since Li Xingze said it was true, it was probably true.

"I've already informed Teacher Tang Yue, but we need to lure out these undercover agents. I have a plan," Li Xingze said.

"What do you need us to do?"

"When it comes to dealing with the Black Vatican, I, Mo Fan, will show no mercy whatsoever."

Mo Fan and Xu Zhaoting were both full of fighting spirit. Although Bo City was saved, the disaster two years ago was still an indelible wound.

Xu Zhaoting's parents were lucky to survive the disaster, but some of his relatives were also killed in the disaster.

Thanks to Li Xingze's intervention, Mo Fan's uncle, who was also Li Xingze's elder brother, also survived the disaster.

"The Sacred Spring of Earth!" Li Xingze looked at Mo Fan, knowing that Mo Fan still had the Sacred Spring of Earth, which was exactly what the Black Church wanted most.

At this time, Li Xingze was unaware that the Black Vatican had already set its sights on him.

"Earthly Sacred Spring"

Mo Fan's expression turned serious. Back then, Bai Yang had wanted to take the Earthly Sacred Spring from him.

"Mo Fan, once you release the news about the Earthly Holy Spring, the Black Church's spy will naturally slip up." After a pause, Li Xingze continued, "I'll also entrust the Shadow Beasts to you; you'll lure them into the trap."

Xu Zhaoting frowned, somewhat worried, and said, "Isn't this a bit too risky? What if Mo Fan gets into danger?"

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for a high-level mage to secretly meet Mo Fan," Li Xingze said calmly.

"A high-level mage?!"

Mo Fan stared blankly at Li Xingze. "How can a mid-level mage like you invite a high-level mage?"

No, wait, there really is one. Hai Bodong, the Ice Emperor, is quite popular in Shanghai recently!

"You're not thinking of asking your uncle for help, are you?" Mo Fan asked.

Li Xingze shook his head. Hai Bodong had already successfully advanced to the Super-Rank Mage level, so there was no need to trouble him with such a trivial matter.

"He's one of my cousin's subordinates, a high-level expert in all three elements, specializing in fire."

"Damn, I thought the three of us were just ordinary people, but I didn't expect Old Li to have already made it big."

Mo Fan wore a pained and conflicted expression, fearing both that his brother would suffer and that his brother would drive a Land Rover.

Li Xingze rolled his eyes and said calmly, "If you're willing to join the Ice Emperor Hunting Group, I'm happy to introduce you and guarantee you'll enjoy the highest level of treatment."

"Then let's forget about it."

Mo Fan gave a sullen laugh; he had no interest in working for someone else.

When he's able to make vessels for the dead, why would he need to work so hard hunting demons to earn money?

Mo Fan refused decisively, but Xu Zhaoting actually showed interest. He didn't have an outstanding family background or exceptional talent, so joining the hunting party was a good choice for him.
