"What about the others?" Mo Fan asked.
"Something happened," Mu Bai went back to the topic he wanted to talk about.
"Is it that old man Chen Shuo?" Mo Fan asked.
"Not exactly, it's the Chief of the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, Zhu Qi. He brought his men to the island and captured Old Zhao and the others. Miss Tangyue ended up in their hands, too," Mubai said.
"Captured? Ended up in their hands? Are you sure it's the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, and not some organization like the Black Vatican? "Mo Fan asked with a confused face.
"Not only did they come to the island with ease, they even knew the secret passage that only Chen Shuo knew about. Who do you think was the one that was conducting the domestication experiment here more than ten years ago?" Mu Bai said.
"The Chief of the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, Zhu Qi, is one of the participants of the experiment?" Mo Fan blurted out in astonishment.
"Basically, he is. Otherwise, he wouldn't have purposely come all the way here to capture us … I initially thought he was only here to ask us to leave, to prevent any undesirable consequences. Luckily, Ling Ling saw through his plan. I immediately ran away when I realized the situation wasn't looking good. I was planning to regroup with you before saving the others, but judging from your condition, it's going to be difficult for us to save them," Mubai said.
"Isn't the Chief of the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, Zhu Qi, a bit too bold? Is he seriously going to kill us on the island? Miss Tangyue is the Vice Chief of the Enforcement Union. I don't believe he's going to do anything to her," Mo Fan said.
If Zhu Qi was the Chief of the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union, he would not dare to do something so outrageous even if he was far away from the authorities.
"He was supposed to keep us under control. He was supposed to let us go once the procedures were completed, but his son, Zhu Min, died in an accident. He's currently on a rampage. I'm worried he's going to take us down with him," Mu Bai said.
Once the matter was handed over, it would no longer be under the Nanxi Mountain Tribe's jurisdiction. At the same time, the old grudge would be forgotten. The higher-ups would send someone to deal with it, and they would not be able to pin the blame on him. In other words, Zhu Qi's goal was to drag the matter to the higher-ups of the Enforcement Union so that the Super Level Mages could carry out the plan to destroy the island.
Who would have thought that Mofan, Tangyue, and the others would run to Dawn Island when everything was about to end? There were many well-preserved domestication bases on Dawn Island. Therefore, as long as they walked around the bases, they would be able to find out who was the mastermind behind the domestication base project. Zhu Qi could not let Tangyue, Mofan, and the others bring this information back.
"How did the guy called Zhu Min die?" Mo Fan asked with a confused face.
"He was slapped to death by a chain. Even though his death is quite pitiful, I really don't understand how an Advanced Mage could die in such a way," Mubai said.
"This …" Mofan was speechless.
If that was the case, then Zhu Min's death had something to do with him.
However, it did not matter. They had obviously come to the island to pick a fight with them. Mofan would not feel guilty over the death of an insignificant person.
However, Zhu Qi was most likely going to hold him responsible for the death of the Nanxi Mountain Tribe.
"We won't be able to get rid of the poison in your body for the time being. They have already been transferred to the quarantine building. We have to figure out a way to save them," Mubai said.
"How strong is that Zhu Qi?" Mofan asked.
"He's very strong. Miss Tangyue was no match for him," Mubai said.
Normally, the Vice Leader of the Enforcement Union was either an outstanding leader or a Super Mage. The Vice Leader of the Enforcement Union was most likely a Super Mage. If even Tangyue was defeated so easily, Mofan and Mubai would have a hard time subduing Zhu Qi.
"It's already morning. The Featherless Birds of Sacrifice must have occupied the sea outside the island. If they want to leave, they will have to wait until the next day to leave using our method," Mofan said.
"Mm, Zhu Qi is a Super Ice Mage, too," Mubai agreed.
"Then we still have some time," Mofan said.
"The poison will be gone in two hours. As for your injuries, are you sure they won't be a problem at night?" Mubai asked worriedly.
Mofan had a lot of injuries. Just the loss of blood was enough to weaken him.
"I'm recovering pretty quickly. Let's hope that Zhu Qi isn't out of his mind," Mofan said. He did need some rest and recuperation to have the strength to take on Zhu Qi.
"He won't do anything reckless before taking us down," Mubai said.
Zhu Qi did not dare touch Tangyue. Similarly, it was the same for the others. Zhu Qi did not have the guts to touch them, unless no one knew what he was doing on the island.
Therefore, Zhu Qi could either gather Mofan and Mubai and kill them to prevent anyone from knowing what he was up to. Or, he could keep Tangyue and the others under control before taking down Mofan and Mubai. He could only let them go after everything was over. Even if Tangyue, Mofan, and the others knew the domestication farm was Zhu Qi's doing, they would not be able to do anything to him. If Zhu Qi forcibly took control of Tangyue, he would be able to tell his superiors that he did not want Tangyue to get into trouble.
"We have to lure Zhu Qi away and destroy the quarantine building. We'll expose the people of the Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union to the Manta Ray Evil Birds. We'll then take advantage of the chaos to save them," Mofan said.
"Mofan, there are only two of us. How can we possibly do so many things? Who's going to lure Zhu Qi away? Who's going to destroy the quarantine building? Who's going to save and protect them? Their minds are sealed. If the quarantine building is destroyed, the people of the Enforcement Union will be exposed to the Manta Ray Evil Birds. They will be in danger without any magic!" Mubai snapped. He was waiting for Mofan to come up with a perfect plan, yet it was so unreliable.
"Who said there are only two of us?" Mofan raised his brows.
A slim yet curvaceous figure came into the cave as soon as he finished the sentence.
"Apas?" Mubai was surprised.
"How did it end up like this? It's such a mess!" Apas grumbled.
"Aren't you ashamed to say that? Why didn't you protect them when they were being held hostage?" Mofan snapped angrily.
"I'm not good at fighting. Besides, I would have ended up just like them if I showed up," Apas said.
"Alright, you always have a lot of excuses. Mubai, lure Zhu Qi away. I'll destroy the quarantine building. Apas, you're in charge of protecting them and removing the Seal on them," Mofan delegated the tasks.
Mubai and Apas shook their heads simultaneously.
"I'll destroy the barrier and lure the angry Manta Ray Evil Birds here," Apas said.
"I can protect them during the chaos," Mubai said.
"…"
