"Mu He is Salan?" Zhou Ming, Zhao Kunsan, Wang Sanpang, and Mubai were stunned!
This was an extremely frightening fact. One had to know that Mu He had always been one of the chairmen of Tian Lan Magic High. He was no stranger to all of them.
Besides, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou's families used to work for the Mu Clan. Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxing, even worked as Mu He's driver and logistics. When they realized that Mu He was the most ruthless demon in the Black Vatican, they could feel a chill rising from their souls. It took them a long time to recover from the fear!
"This … this is unbelievable," Zhao Kunsan was already struggling to stand still. He took a few steps back.
Mubai did not say a word. He was the one who was struggling to accept the truth the most.
When his mother mentioned Yu Ang, Mubai assumed it was just a coincidence, or that Yu Ang had only come into contact with the people of the Black Vatican after joining the Mu Clan. However, after Zhang Xiaohou met Great Deacon Hu Jin, Mubai immediately thought of the same thing.
Mu He had always been kind to him, taking great care of him. Mu He was also the senior that Mubai respected the most.
However, the more it was like that, the more Mubai wanted to clear his name. Otherwise, how could he be at ease?
In the end … in the end, things were already developing in a way that he could accept the most.
There was no way the information that Zhang Xiaohou had risked his life for was fake. In other words, his uncle Mu He was indeed a member of the Black Vatican, including the fact that Yu Ang was sent to Mu Zhuoyun as a pawn, and the fact that the people of Bo City were sent to the Ancient Capital to make it easier for them to carry out their plan …
"We must have put Salan under house arrest. This Mu He is Great Deacon Hu Jin!" said the mysterious man sternly.
"House arrest? If you're putting Salan under house arrest, why aren't you taking care of him? "asked Mo Fan curiously.
"We want to, but if we do, the lives of almost ten Super Mages will be sacrificed, since we can't be sure who the real Salan is," said Han Ji.
The mysterious grayish-white man then explained how they had imprisoned the higher-ups of the Ancient Capital.
It was the only way they could think of to trap Salan. As a matter of fact, the number of people who were sacrificed to learn about Salan's identity was not limited to just the person in the alley. Every member of the Magic Association's Enforcement Union who tried to find out Salan's true identity was already dead.
Han Ji and the mysterious gray man had to make this gamble. They could not let go of a schemer who could destroy the entire Ancient Capital!
"Zhu Meng, Du Xiao, Fei Jiao, and Lu Xu are among them?" Mofan asked in astonishment.
Han Ji nodded. "I know that Zhu Meng is the least suspicious, but …"
"What if we can't find out who Salan is?" Zhou Min asked.
"Then we can only …" Han Ji sighed. It seemed that even he himself felt that this was extremely cruel. His expression was extremely dejected. "We can only …"
"Execute them all!" The mysterious gray-white man said.
The air froze at that moment. Everyone stared at the president of the Magic Association and the mysterious man in disbelief.
Execute them all …
Almost ten Super Magicians in high positions were sacrificed just for a single Salan. Wasn't that too cruel!?
They might not be familiar with the others, but last night, Du Xiao, Zhu Meng, Fei Jiao, and Lu Xu had contributed greatly to the defense of the northern wall. They had risked their lives to kill the Phantom Tyrant Emperor.
"Is this … really worth it?" Fang Gu could not help but gasp.
"It's the decision of the Supreme Enforcement Union. If we don't get rid of Salan, he's going to bring a greater disaster to us. You've all seen how many lives and families were lost in this calamity … we've sacrificed a lot just to find out who the culprit is. If we don't kill him this time, we won't have another chance!" Han Ji said while clenching his teeth.
No one knew how much the Enforcement Union had sacrificed just to find Salan.
As a matter of fact, even if they did not come up with the plan to impersonate Salan and gather the authorities, they would still imprison the culprit. The man's death was just to confirm the culprit's identity, to convince the authorities that he was willing to be imprisoned …
Just for the sake of it, someone was willing to sacrifice themselves. They even went so far as to imprison Salan and pile up a mountain of corpses.
What would any other person or organization do if they were in Salan's shoes?
Looking at the sea of undead, and the people in the city who were crying in despair, were they really going to let Salan go?
The decision was indeed unfair to the innocent authorities, but they were left with no other choice.
"The Black Vatican's next step is to revive Emperor Ying Zheng. Once he wakes up, the inner city will turn into a living hell. Sacrificing the lives of ten authorities in exchange for the lives of millions of people in the city, do you think it's worth it? Do we have a choice? "The mysterious man was so agitated that his body was trembling.
He had always been in the dark. His name was not even recorded in the glorious records of the Magic Association. He was doing something similar to the Black Vatican. The only difference was, the Black Vatican was trying to destroy the city, and he was sacrificing the lives of his subordinates to stop the destruction.
However, over the past few decades, he had learned the truth. The war was nothing more than sacrificing a bunch of people in exchange for the survival of the majority. It was the same for any job that involved the safety of a city, or even a country!
There was no peace without blood and sacrifice. The Magic Association's decision was going against justice, and would be condemned by morality. They would be too ashamed to face the innocent authorities and their families, but at least they were doing the right thing for the people and the majority of the people who were suffering.
"But what if Salan isn't afraid of death? What if he doesn't mind dying in order to achieve his goal? Besides, what if, I'm just saying what if, you're wrong? Salan isn't even among the authorities. If the authorities are all dead, no one will be able to stop the Ruler-level undead. I believe even if Emperor Ying Zheng isn't revived, the Safety Barrier won't last for more than a few days. You're being too extreme, "Mubai said.
"How could we not understand what you're trying to say? That being said, before you raise your doubts, you should tell us something better. Otherwise, it's meaningless to doubt us. It's better to carry out the plan and do something. It might be effective," the mysterious man said.
"This …" Mubai was left speechless.
"When are you planning to execute the Decapitation Plan?" Mofan asked seriously.
"When the Mountain Zombie attacks the Safety Barrier," said Han Ji.
"Mubai and I have the same idea. Once the authorities are dead, the Ruler-level undead can massacre the city, but these people can't die. We already know Mubai is Great Deacon Hu Jin, and since Great Deacon Hu Jin is Salan's right-hand man, he must know who the real Salan is …" said Mofan.
"This Great Deacon Hu Jin must be controlling the situation on Salan's behalf. The inner city is filled with the Black Vatican's spies. If our Imperial Magicians make a move, he will surely run for his life," said the mysterious man.
"Let's go!" said Mofan coldly.
"Yeah, let's capture Mubai!" said Zhou Ming.
"What makes you think you can find this Great Deacon Hu Jin?"
"We don't have to look for him, he will come to us," said Mofan confidently.
"If we didn't ask the Imperial Magicians to bring you here, he might come here himself, but I'm afraid he won't come now," said the mysterious man.
"He will, he will come for sure. The problem now is how to deliver the message to him!" said Mofan confidently.
