Flas were burning wildly. The junkyard was piled with the Frenzy Poppies Mo Fan and his group were looking for. It was obvious that the Frenzy Poppies had already been refined into the Frenzy Liquid. They were only burning the remains of the flowers. The strange sll in the air made Mo Fan feel like he had set foot into an opium hall in the eighteen-hundreds. His throat actually felt sticky from the smoke!
Sounds were approaching Mo Fan rapidly from every direction. Mo Fan looked around and noticed six people in brown kasayas [classic Buddhist monk-style robe] standing not far from him. Their faces were hidden under the hoods of their robes, revealing only painted blue lips and scarred chins.
Standing behind them, Blue Bat had changed into a different outfit. Her dark red and tight-fitting clothing with snake stripes made her look like a venomous snake. Her eyes emitted a toying glow at her prey.
“I wonder how much your Cultivation has improved lately. I can test your skills with a few of my Executioners, who I’m very proud of,” Blue Bat inford him gleefully.
Mo Fan did not answer her question. He was focusing on the other person standing beside Blue Bat.
The person standing there beside her was wearing a kasaya too, but its color had already faded away. His face was covered by a piece of cloth, leaving only his eyes visible.
The man was staring at Mo Fan. Mo Fan’s Dark Vein beca restless at that instant. It’s ability to predict danger was active!
The Dark Vein burst out of Mo Fan’s pores and sent a shiver down his spine.
However, Mo Fan found both the man’s eyes and his temperant very familiar, including the alert from the Dark Vein.
“It’s him!”
Mo Fan soon recalled who the man was. He had t him before!
He had seen him in the Sacred City of Lhasa when he and Mu Ningxue were strolling through the streets. It was the worshiper who had given him an uneasy feeling!
Mo Fan thought he was the Heretic the Sacred Palace Mage and Heresy Judgnt Court were after. Even though they were looking for Qin Yu’er, Mo Fan sohow had a feeling the man was a Heretic, too.
Why is the man here? He rembered Lily ntioning that they had invited a master from China. Was she referring to this man?
“Let’s hope you enjoy yourself here. Wu Ku, ti for us to leave. We have sothing more important to handle,” Blue Bat told the monk beside her.
Mo Fan pointed at Wu Ku and yelled, “Don’t go yet! Shouldn’t you be delivering all living creatures from suffering as a monk? Why are you taking the side of the evildoers instead?!”
“Seeing the world suffering will deliver from my own sufferings,” Wu Ku removed the cloth on his face, revealing a sincere yet twisted grin.
“Damn it, another lunatic again!” Mo Fan cursed aloud.
“Mo Fan, how amusing are you, treating Wu Ku as a real monk! He’s the mastermind behind the tragedy that took place in your Bo City!” Blue Bat laughed at him.
Mo Fan’s face darkened. He glared at Wu Ku, who was obviously neither a monk nor a Daoist!
“Blue Bat, are you seriously giving up on your soul too?” Mo Fan said coldly.
“My soul has always belonged to another person... You never really understood us, even though you’ve been on our tail for such a long ti, have you?” Blue Bat scoffed.
Mo Fan did not respond, waiting for Blue Bat to finish her performance.
“Master has three reliable right hands: the Chief Extraditor, the Head Priest, and the Evil Herbalist. This bald man here is the Head Priest serving under master. My master was never involved in the incident of Bo City. It was the Head Priest and Great Deacon Hu Jin’s work,” Blue Bat inford him.
“Work?” Mo Fan’s smile turned even icier.
“Yeah, my three seniors each have an impressive portfolio. People know who they are at the ntion of their work, unlike . Even though I killed the Cold Prince, it was you who took all the rits. I have yet to do sothing where I can make a na for myself, so the Aorus Sacred Institute will be my final project before I graduate. The Aorus Sacred Institute is none of your concern. Why do you have to interfere with my business?” Blue Bat complained plaintively, pausing briefly to observe Mo Fan’s reaction.
She had obviously noticed Mo Fan was about to lose his temper. Bo City was his reverse scale. Most people still had no idea who was responsible for the tragedy of Bo City.
Bo City was only a small city. Destroying it did not bring Salan any benefits, since she was usually responsible for incidents at the scale of a calamity, like the one that had occurred at the Ancient Capital.
Bo City was only a testing ground for the real calamity in the Ancient Capital. However, Salan was not in charge of the test. Head Priest Wu Ku had been!
“Mo Fan, how about this... if you promise not to interfere with my business with the Aorus Sacred Institute, I can swear an oath with my soul that I won’t trouble your country for the next ten years. My work must be perfect to be approved by master,” Blue Bat teased a negotiation at him.
“You will have plenty of ti to negotiate once you are in Hell!” Mo Fan started emitting a black gas. It did not appear like a mist, but more like the steam from an engine!
The Elder of the Shadow Tribe, carrying chains from Hell, slowly appeared from the black steam. It glared at Blue Bat and Wu Ku, as if they were priorities on its wanted list.
“Do you really have to interfere with my business?” Blue Bat’s expression darkened when she saw Mo Fan was not planning to waste any more ti.
“Don’t you think you can negotiate with just because we have talked a little before. Your petty acting is like a centipede which isn’t going to feast on humans for the mont. It’s disgusting!” The black steam Mo Fan was emitting thickened.
Blue Bat’s expression grew even darker. She was a completely different person compared to when she was wearing a smile. The look in her eyes alone was brimming with evil, not to ntion the cheerful fake smile she had been wearing most of the ti. Only those who had lost their mind would have such a strange expression.
None of the people in the Black Vatican were normal. Blue Bat might disguise herself as an approachable woman at first, but she had the sa expression when she was skinning her victims and drinking their blood. Her emotions had already gone haywire!
If she was smiling when she was killing people, she could no longer be considered a human. What was the point of negotiating with a person like her?
“Are you going to fool around with him here?” Wu Ku asked her.
“Just for a while, you may leave first,” Blue Bat replied.
“Just make sure everything is fine.” Wu Ku obviously did not want to stick around.
“He’s going to ruin our plan if we don’t take care of him,” Blue Bat warned him.
“Mm, but make sure you capture him alive. I think the Red Cardinal will like it.”
“I can’t give you my promise.”
