Chapter 48: Another Invitation

……

"Kill them!!" Knowing he was doomed, Bai Yang let out a roar, ordering the remaining Black Beast Monsters to attack Mo Fan and his group.

However, before the Black Beast Monsters could even move, Xiaotian spat out a breath of Dragon Flame, sweeping across and burning every Black Beast Monster present to ash.

"……"

The air suddenly went silent.

"Do you have any other tricks?" Lv Cheng asked curiously.

"If not, then it's my turn."

Bai Yang hardened his heart, pulled a dagger from his bosom, and stabbed it toward Lv Cheng's chest.

"Watch out!"

Puchi~~

"How could it be like this..."

Bai Yang looked at the dagger embedded in his own chest in confusion.

Why did I stab myself?

"Knowing you're no match, so you chose to end it yourself?" Lv Cheng looked impressed.

"But this way you won't die cleanly. You should insert it into your temple, and it's best to stir it around a bit; that way, you definitely won't be saved."

As soon as Lv Cheng finished speaking, Bai Yang seemed possessed; just as he had said, he pulled the dagger from his chest, slammed it into his own head, and stirred frantically!

After rotating for less than two and a half turns, Bai Yang lost control of his body, collapsed heavily to the ground, and fell silent.

"……"

Everyone watched this scene with stiff expressions, while Mo Fan and the others couldn't help but recall what had happened at the Mu Family banquet not long ago.

Yu Ang had been the same back then!

"Are you all unhurt?" Lv Cheng turned back and asked.

"No!!"

Everyone replied loudly, their bodies rigid.

It was just that this method was far too bizarre!

Even knowing that Lv Cheng wouldn't turn on them, fear was an instinct!

"Student Lv Cheng, this seems to be... the Soul-Seizing and Mind-Controlling that only High-level Magic of the Mind Element can achieve, right?" As a teacher, Xue Musheng had some knowledge.

"High-level Magic?" Zhang Xiaohou looked bewildered.

"Brother Cheng, you're already at the High-level?"

"No, this is just a little trick," Lv Cheng said.

"My Spiritual Power is much stronger than his, and besides, my Mind Element is a bit special."

Demon Whisper; this was a special magic he had created during this time by fusing his Demon Qi with Mind Element magic.

The Demon Qi of a demon had extremely strong aggression toward human souls, and his Mind Magic naturally carried control; the fusion of the two produced this magic that could control others' actions to a certain extent.

……

The clouds parted and the mist cleared as the morning sun rose.

The rescue operation in Bo City was much easier than originally expected because a big shot helped out.

Pang Lai.

Whether it was luck or something else, Pang Lai had only left Bo City with his little apprentice yesterday afternoon, boarding the high-speed train back to the Imperial Capital, when Bo City was invaded that evening.

By the time he received the news and rushed back, it was already midnight, which was about the time Lv Cheng brought Mo Fan and the others back to the Anquan Jiejie.

After arriving in Bo City, Pang Lai launched a Dimensional Summoning, bringing out a pile of Warrior-level Summoned Beasts; like a beast tide, he swept through and cleared out the demons inside Bo City in less than three hours.

The Chief Mage of the Imperial Palace, terrifying indeed!

With Pang Lai's intervention, casualties in Bo City were greatly reduced. However, Bo City had now almost become ruins, and the most important Earth Holy Spring was gone. Having lost the foundation of prosperity, and with the Winged Wolf killed, the wolf pack was highly likely to retaliate in the near future. Therefore, the Military and the Magic Association issued a notice: the Military would take over Bo City from here on out. As for whether everyone stayed or left, it was not forced, but leaving was advised.

"See how amazing my teacher is?"

In the lounge, Jiang Yu, who had also been busy all night, sat exhausted across from Lv Cheng.

"Don't think you're great just because you have some talent. My teacher's realm is not something one can reach just by having talent."

"Mm." Lv Cheng responded lightly, lifting his head from Ye Xinxia's lap and placing it onto Mu Ningxue's lap.

This guy had been nagging for half a day.

It was nothing more than wanting to persuade him to change his mind, become Pang Lai's apprentice, and be his junior brother.

And his response was very simple: lying on Mu Ningxue's lap was enough!

Hey! Kid! Do you think I can't tell?

The envy and jealousy in your eyes are about to overflow!

"You!" Jiang Yu gritted his teeth as he looked at Lv Cheng.

Shameless! One on each side!

No wonder he had tried so hard to pursue Mu Ningxue at school for so long without any reaction; it turned out he had been beaten to the punch by this shameless bastard!

"Ahem."

Pang Lai opened the door and coughed twice.

What was this atmosphere of jealousy?

"Teacher." Jiang Yu stood up, still looking unhappy.

"How do you feel?" Pang Lai asked.

It was also Jiang Yu's first time seeing such a scene. Although he had been cultivating for so long and the child could already summon a Warrior-level Giant Rock Beast, Bo City last night was no different from Hell.

"I'm fine, Teacher," Jiang Yu said.

"Right, it's nothing, you're just shaking a bit." Lv Cheng glanced at Jiang Yu's trembling legs.

Having supported the Giant Rock Beast's movements for nearly an entire night, this guy had nearly collapsed from exhaustion.

"I'm not scared!" Jiang Yu's ears turned red, and he retorted in a flustered manner.

"I didn't say you were scared." Lv Cheng shrugged.

"I..."

"Alright, I know you're just tired," Pang Lai said with an amused smile.

It is just so easy for people of the same age to develop this kind of rivalry.

He wanted to find a junior fellow apprentice for Jiang Yu, also hoping that the two could stimulate each other and progress together.

"Elder Pang." Mu Ningxue stood up somewhat reservedly to greet him.

Pang Lai nodded, "I really didn't expect that such a thing would happen; if I could have stayed a while longer, perhaps..."

"Perhaps the Black Vatican would have just waited until you left before making their move," Lv Cheng said.

"That is true as well," Pang Lai sighed softly.

He had just left in the morning, and the Black Vatican's operation began in the afternoon; it was clearly long-planned. He could block them for a moment, but he could not block them for a lifetime.

"Teacher, have you found any traces of the Black Vatican?" Jiang Yu asked.

Pang Lai shook his head, "No. By the time I rushed to Bo City, they had already withdrawn, leaving behind only some small fry, seemingly for the sake of the Earth Holy Spring."

According to the information provided by the Judgment Court, this attack was orchestrated by the Black Vatican's Red Cardinal Salang, all for the purpose of seizing the Earth Holy Spring of Bo City and relying on that thing to attract demon beasts and trigger a greater catastrophe.

However, the Earth Holy Spring has already been consumed by that young man with Natural Dual Elements, so Bo City should not be in danger in the future.

"How have you considered it?" Pang Lai asked.

"Given the current situation in Bo City, you can't continue to stay there. Before, you said your younger sister was not in a convenient situation and you had to stay to take care of her, so you asked to wait for a while. Now..."

"Me?" Ye Xinxia was stunned.

Brother A-Cheng refused Pang Lai because of her?

"I plan to go to the Magic City," Lv Cheng said.

Mu Ningxue was slightly taken aback, wanting to speak but holding back.

"I see..." Pang Lai nodded and said no more.

Lv Cheng's intention was already very clear.

Young people do not want to be constrained; it is normal.

"If you change your mind in the future, you can come to the Imperial Capital to find me at any time," Pang Lai said.

"Also, take this information on the Summoning Element; consider it a gift for our acquaintance."

"Thank you." Lv Cheng did not refuse.

It would be somewhat inappropriate not to give face to the old man's kindness.

Moreover, Pang Lai was indeed a decent person; forming a good connection was fine too.

However, he really did not want to go to the Imperial Capital Magic Academy; that Dean Song He was simply a pitfall!

By comparison, Dean Xiao of the Pearl Magic Academy was much more honest.
