Versatile Mage

Chapter 2681: Repel the North City Legion

The real Magistrate did not care about the living but only the dead. Mu Bai’s words made everyone tremble in fear. They had just witnessed Lin Kang’s soul being scattered by Mu Bai into the bottomless abyss. The abyss itself looked endless.

Everybody was afraid of death, the unknown and the afterlife. But this person before them suddenly seemed to be in charge of everything they feared. He was clothed in darkness and carried the abyss with him. He wandered the world like the living while putting those who belonged in hell to their place in the bottomless chasm. He would torture them for their greed and their betrayal.

Regardless of the terrifying aura that Mu bai emitted, the fact remained that he had killed the black judge, Lin Kang. There was only one other judge in the world now. That person was declared the commander-in-chief of the North City Legion a while ago. Deputy Head, Zhou Yi, almost fell to the ground. How will he command the entire North City Legion?

“I will take everyone back to the city and report this matter to the high-level officials. Lin Kang disobeyed the law and ordered the army as he pleased. He was rightly punished,” the major general blurted out in panic making it clear where he stood.

He jumped on the bandwagon hurriedly. He would be on the side of whoever won. He was someone who watched from the side and offered his alliance only after the outcome was clear.

Mu Bai did not need such a person. He wanted people to be able to think for themselves and stand by their principles. They needed to ask themselves clearly whether they made decisions with their conscience or their greed, otherwise, the decision would be made for them by someone who would torture their souls long after their deaths.

As the main force behind the attack on Fanxue Mountain, the North City Legion was receiving that torture and interrogation right now. Mu bai hoped that this would be enough to help them make better decisions in the future. He could not make an example of killing someone like Lin Kang all the time. He hoped they had a scale in their hearts to gauge the good and the bad otherwise all his hard work and sacrifice for the North City Legion would have been in vain.

The legion was banished. They left Fanxue Mountain. When they went up the mountain on their way, they were chastised by the residents of the North City. When they descended the mountain, their hearts grew heavy.

“We must have immensely disappointed him.”

The battlemage, who once was rescued from the island by Mu bai, sighed. “I have been very ungrateful. If there is hell, I deserve it.”

They felt miserable. They had sinned by abandoning their beliefs, which they had been taught to uphold and maintain from the beginning. They had already fallen into the abyss of sin with every step they had taken. They had already turned to the dark and couldn’t bear to face the light.

The North City Legion left.Fanxue Mountain lost nearly half of its alliance forces. But Fanxue Mountain Villa felt relieved of the pressure. The people shouted happily. They had never realized that Mu bai alone could shake the entire North City Legion. For so long, they had mistreated everyone under the guise of important officials. Mu Bai had defeated their leader and forced thousands of elites to retreat. He was suddenly an invincible figure representing the Fanxue Mountain. People screamed with excitement.

“Don’t leave! Fanxue Mountain is exhausted. Let’s attack together!” When several other forces watched the North City legion withdraw their troops, they were perplexed.

They felt that they could not go back now. They had arrived with the goal of getting rid of Fanxue Mountain Villa. If they retreated now, they would not be able to attack the Fanxue Mountain after the opponent had enough time to rest and fight back.

The North City Legion belonged to the North City, but they were inextricably linked to Fanxue Mountain, too. If they retreated now. This battle would only end up becoming a fight between the civil and family forces. This battle was provoked, and it needed to pass its course. They could not withdraw!

“What a group of worthless people! There is no need to panic. Even if there is no North City Legion on our side, we don’t need to be afraid of Fanxue Mountain. We have so many great forces on our side. I will be the Zhao family’s representative. We will get rid of Fanxue Mountain today as planned!” Zhao Jing declared.

Zhao Jing had not expected much help from the official forces right from the beginning. All he wanted was a reason to inspire other forces to join in. The outcome would be the same with or without Lin Kang or the North City Legion.

He could not believe that so many people who had received magical education believed in something like hell and the abyss. Even if it existed, it would be in control of none other than the person with the highest magical power in the Dark Domain. How could an insignificant person like Mu Bai carry an abyss on his back? Could no one see that this was Dark Magic?

As a person who was walking down the path towards Forbidden Domain, Zhao Jing did not believe in Mu Bai’s ability to pull something like this. To Zhao Jing, Mu Bai pretended to be holy and mysterious while using some strange spells to kill Lin Kang. In the eyes of Supreme Magic, those were forbidden spells which weren’t allowed or accepted by the Magic Sanctuary.

“I’ll kill you first for pretending to be able to use Dark Magic.” Zhao Jing flew over on a Red Electric dragon. He was full of cackling energy like the son of thunder.

Mu Bai’s eyes turned cloudy again. The abyss behind him expanded. The edges of the abyss had blood-red scars. It grew into something three-dimensional.

Someone tapped on Mu Bai’s shoulder. He turned around, surprised. Who could pass through the abyss and stand so silently behind him?

“Mo Fan?”

“Don’t get too caught up in it. Let me take care of Zhao Jing. It is not a bad thing to live a few more years and enjoy life. Why should you push yourself for that guy so early?”

Mu Bai’s eyes and complexion slowly returned to their normal state. “He is very strong. Be careful,” Mu Bai warned.

Mu Bai himself would have had a difficult time with Zhao Jing even with the abyss on his back. Zhao Jing was not the same as Lin Kang. He was much stronger.

“Don’t worry,” assured Mo Fan. “I kept something back when I dealt with the Chief Shark last time. I don’t intend to hold back today.”

Mu Bai nodded. “That’s good. Call me if something happens. I will take a break for now.” He had used a lot of his Soul Power when dealing with Lin Kang who had been stronger than him.

“Don’t worry, Old Zhao is here.”

Mu Bai glanced at Zhao Manyan who was still fighting those losers from the Divine Hunter group. With his strength and power, it would only take him a few seconds to defeat them. It seemed like Zhao Manyan did not want to take charge of the situation and dallied with the Divine Hunter Group in the hopes that he could stall for time.
