Mubai was a little suspicious when he saw everyone looking at him.
"Mubai, could it be … your cultivation has improved a little over the past few years …" Wang Sanpang looked at Mubai in fear.
"Fatty, enough with your bullshit, how could Mubai be from the Black Vatican? He hates the Black Vatican more than anyone else. Don't you think only your family was killed by them!" Zhao Kunsan yelled with a flushed face.
"Mubai is definitely not one of them, but Mubai, are you suspecting someone?" Mofan asked.
Mubai might be a green tea, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would twist his personality to achieve his own desires like Hong Jun. The guy was stubborn and self-righteous. Most importantly, everyone had grown up in the same area, including Mubai. It was impossible for him to be brainwashed by the Black Vatican.
"Actually, I only heard it from my mother a while ago. I'm not trying to hide it from you," Mubai said in a deep voice.
"Oh?"
Mubai was about to reveal his speculation when a few Imperial Magicians in purple outfits flew toward them from the inner walls.
They initially thought they were heading to the Clock Tower Magic Association, but to their surprise, the Imperial Magicians landed right in front of them.
"Excuse me, who's Fang Gu?" Lu Huan glanced at the crowd and asked coldly.
"I'm …" Fang Gu did not try to hide his identity. He slowly stepped forward and said with a self-mocking smile, "I never thought a sinner like me would be so honored that the Imperial Magician Lu Huan is here to arrest me in person. You Imperial Magicians still have the time to care about a murderer like me under such circumstances. How interesting."
Fang Gu did mention that he would turn himself in to the Enforcement Union.
However, the calamity was too terrifying. It was fortunate that the city was still standing. The Enforcement Union had no time to care about a criminal like him.
Fang Gu was only taking one step at a time. As a matter of fact, he was quite curious about the identity of Great Deacon Hu Jin, who had given the Ancient Capital such a funeral!
"Everyone, please follow me to a place." The Head Guard waved his hand and immediately ordered his subordinates to bring everyone away.
Mofan was confused, but considering that they were Imperial Magicians, he believed they could lead him to Zhu Meng, so he let them be.
The Imperial Magicians all had the ability to fly. Each of them brought two people with them. As such, they brought Mofan, Zhang Xiaohou, Su Xiaoluo, Fang Gu, Mubai, Zhou Min, Liu Ru, Wang Sanpang, and Zhao Kunsan away.
Mofan initially thought the Imperial Magician would bring them to the Clock Tower Magic Association, but to his surprise, they were led to a courtyard instead.
In this crowded inner city, it was rare for there to be an empty courtyard. Clearly, this was an important place …
"Chief, you should go back. The Nether Bone Ruler is still watching us. We'll just send them in," said one of the Imperial Magicians.
Lu Huan nodded. With a flap of the giant, white wings on his back, he quickly soared into the sky and headed for the North Gate.
The inner city was not huge, thus it would not take too much time to travel back and forth. However, it was quite unbelievable that Fang Gu's crime had attracted the attention of the Head Guard Magician.
The Head Guard Magician's status in the Ancient Capital was even higher than Councilman Zhu Meng. He was in charge of the strongest Magician troop in the Ancient Capital, which was made up of elite Advanced Magicians …
The Flesh Mound Corpse Officials were a great hindrance to the evacuation of the Ancient Capital. The Imperial Magicians had eliminated all the Flesh Mound Corpse Officials in a short period of time. Otherwise, at least half of the people would not have made it to the inner city!
"So he's Lu Huan, I heard he's the strongest person in the Ancient Capital. He once killed an Undead Ruler on his own! "said Zhou Min admiringly, staring at the purple figure flying into the sky.
"The strongest is a bit exaggerated, but he's at least in the top three," said the kind-looking Imperial Magician with a smile. He led the group into the courtyard.
There were quite a lot of people in the courtyard. Most of them were hiding in their rooms. The beautiful courtyard was filled with boxes filled with medicine, leaving only a path wide enough for a person to walk through.
"Feel free to take a seat," an old man slowly walked out before the group entered the room.
The group exchanged glances with one another. In the end, Mofan was the most open-minded among them and sat down on the boxes. The others followed suit, still wearing confused looks.
"Gentlemen, thank you for your protection. Fang Gu is here. I thank you on behalf of the highest authority of the Magic Association, "said the old man with black hair as he bowed slightly.
Fang Gu was utterly confused. Even though he had committed murder, was it really necessary to send him here at a time like this? The old man in front of him was obviously the President of the Clock Tower Magic Association, Han Ji!
First, it was the Head Guard Magician, followed by the President of the Clock Tower Magic Association. They were all authorities that could decide the fate of the Ancient Capital!
"Fang Gu, do you still have a portion of the Water of Kun with you?" asked the President, Han Ji, glancing at Fang Gu.
"Why are you asking that? Aren't you here to punish me?" asked Fang Gu with a confused look.
The Black Vatican was asking for the Water of Kun, yet the people of the Magic Association were asking too. Even though the Water of Kun was indeed the key to the conspiracy, the calamity had already arrived. It had already spread to the outskirts of the inner city. What was the point of asking for the Water of Kun?
"We'll talk about your crimes later. The lives of millions of people in the inner city are our top priority. The Water of Kun is the only thing that can neutralize the Dew of Nine Serenities. We hope you will hand over the Water of Kun at once, so the undead can fall into a deep slumber, "said Han Ji calmly, yet his eyes had an imperious look that no one dared to disobey!
The group was astounded when they heard the news.
It turned out that the Water of Kun was able to neutralize the Dew of Nine Serenities. In other words, if they sprinkled the Water of Kun into the clouds, the undead would no longer be able to move freely during the day. The ocean of undead would immediately sink into the ground …
This was a great piece of news!!
The city could be saved, too!
It was true that Fang Gu did not think of that. His stunned expression was replaced by a dejected look after a long while.
"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. If I still had the Water of Kun, I would hand it over to cleanse my sins. However, I've already used the last portion of the Water of Kun to refine the undead … I'll summon it. If you can extract the Water of Kun from its body, I … I don't mind if you kill it," said Fang Gu honestly.
Having said that, Fang Gu had already started drawing a star chart. Soon, the powerful dark red skeleton appeared in front of everyone. It was looking around with a confused expression.
"Fang Tu, the Water of Kun can save the people of the city. They might refine you …" said Fang Gu to the skeleton. Even though his tone was calm, the group could tell that he was reluctant to part with the skeleton.
"There's no need for that. (Sigh), it seems like I'm doomed." Han Ji only took one glance at the dark red skull before he felt as if his soul had been hit hard. He mumbled to himself like a delirious old man, "It's hard to escape this fate … It's hard to escape this fate …"
