Chapter 40 The Abyss of Evil Arrives Ahead of Schedule, the Ghostly Tyrant Appears! [Please Read On, Please Vote!]

Imperial Capital
Mu Ningxue walked out of the dean's office with a calm expression.

She already knew from Song He that her spot in the National Academy had been taken, and she knew this day would come after Mu He's identity was exposed.

She knew that any resistance was futile. As the niece of the Black Vatican's High Deacon of Tiger's Lair, any action she took was wrong unless she could prove herself.

When Mu Ningxue returned home, she saw Mu Zhuoyun sitting on the sofa looking dejected and worried.

"Xiaoxue, it is your father who has wronged you, it is our Mu family who has wronged you! I never thought that our Mu family would produce such a beast!" Mu Zhuoyun said with hatred.

Mu Zhuoyun's carefully cultivated network of connections in the capital over the years has been completely destroyed. Everything was just about to get back on track, but unexpectedly, Mu He ruined it all.

Mu Ningxue's original spot in the National Academy was taken by another genius in the clan, and all their years of hard work were in vain.

"There's nothing more to say now that things have come to this," Mu Ningxue said.

Having lived in the capital for many years, she already knew the rules of survival there; everything was so cruel.

The enemy will not sheathe its fangs; instead, it will prepare to crush you completely when you are least prepared.

Ancient Capital Hunters Alliance.
Salang's fingers tapped on the table, and an invisible low pressure enveloped the entire office.

Without receiving any information about the Tribunal's actions, her right-hand man was captured by the Tribunal.

"Has my identity been exposed?"

"No, if we get exposed, those people will definitely not be able to hold back."

Salang stopped thinking about it. Mu He's death wouldn't have much impact on her plans, and the Nine Nether Dew had already been developed.

The Abyss of Evil is also approaching, and they cannot stop her ascension to godhood!

She wanted to use this catastrophe in the ancient capital to announce to the world her arrival, Salang!

"Wu Ku, where exactly is Wu Ku?" Hua Yu pondered.

Although Wu Ku, as a victim of the water element, only possesses half of the abilities, he is absolutely a crucial part of the ancient capital catastrophe.

"Uncle Zhang, have we found Wu Ku yet?" Hua Yu asked the person behind him.

Zhang Long appeared behind Hua Yu and said, "No, we've already checked according to the young master's description, and there doesn't seem to be anyone like that in the ancient capital!"

Hua Yu's expression grew increasingly grave. If even Zhang Long's reconnaissance abilities couldn't find him, Wu Ku must have been hiding using some kind of magical artifact.

"Hua Juntong, Yao Junsi requests your presence at the Bell Tower Magic Association meeting!" a military mage rushed in and said.

"A meeting at a time like this?" Hua Yu was a little puzzled, but he still got up and left the room, heading towards the Magic Association.

-

At this moment, everyone sitting in the meeting room of the Clock Tower Magic Association was a super-rank mage.

"Everyone's here, why aren't we starting yet?" Lu Huan asked impatiently, frowning.

As the strongest mage in ancient times and the chief mage of the ancient capital's imperial guards, his work was extremely demanding.

"Don't worry, there's still one person from our military region who hasn't arrived yet!" Yaoting said.

Just then, Hua Yu pushed open the conference room door and walked in.

"This is Hua Yu, our military region's newly promoted Super-Rank Mage!" Yao Ting stood up and introduced him to everyone.

Everyone present was shocked to hear this. Hua Yu looked to be only about twenty years old, yet he had already broken through to the Super Rank.

When did it become so easy to break through to the Super Rank? They all broke through to the Super Rank in their thirties, which is already considered exceptionally talented.

"Now that everyone's here, let's begin!" Lu Huan's expression softened a bit upon hearing Yao Ting's words.

The addition of another high-level mage to the ancient capital is excellent, as it will lighten the workload of their guard mages. "I've summoned you all here today for one matter!"

"Sha Yuan has appeared near the ancient capital. These are Sha Yuan's movements over the past year. You can take a look!" Han Ji said to everyone from the main seat.

In front of everyone was a stack of documents. Except for Hua Yu and others who already knew, everyone else started to look them up.

After everyone finished reading, Han Ji spoke again: "Sha Yuan's actions are always very purposeful, and its ultimate target is this land beneath our feet, which is the city we are protecting—the ancient capital!"

"I understand. The Imperial Guard Mage Corps will be on high alert, ready at any time!" Lu Huan put down the documents in his hand and said in a deep voice.

"The trial will be held at any time."

"The Hunter's Alliance too!"

"Our military will stand guard on the front line at any time!" Yaoting said to everyone.

Then everyone left, as night was about to fall.
Tonight, the military mages stood on the city wall in high alert, all looking solemnly at the dead below.

Thirty meters away from the northern city wall of the ancient capital, a terrifying aura of death gathered, symbolizing the arrival of the Abyss of Evil.

"Roar—!"

A roar that shook the steel walls came from beneath the dim sky to the north!

Everyone felt a sharp pain in their eardrums, as if a huge shockwave had crashed into the city with a powerful force that covered the horizon.

At the North City Wall Command Headquarters, Hua Yu, Fei Jiao, and Lu Xu all looked at the dark, gigantic shadow.

“This is… the Ghostly Tyrant!” Lu Xu said in a deep voice.

As the commander of the North City Wall, he immediately recognized the owner of the giant shadow.

The tyrannical ghost king led an army of millions of undead toward the ancient capital, his monarchical aura pressing down on the crowd on the city walls, making it hard for them to breathe.

"Activate the alert and signal to assemble!" Lu Xu said to Staff Officer Zhu.

In this situation, the military mages alone cannot withstand it.

The long city road was shrouded in a huge layer of bloody light.

"Whoosh~~~~~~!!"

"Whoosh~~~~~~~~!!!!"

The appearance of the blood-red light was accompanied by the powerful tolling of a bell, which echoed throughout the ancient capital.

The sound of the bell lingered in my ears, seemingly possessing a special magic that could inexplicably alert me.

In the sky, four milky-white beams of light flashed, and the mages in the ancient capital rushed towards the north city wall upon seeing them.

"A mere monarch-level undead." Hua Yu licked his dry lips as he looked at the Ghostly Tyrant in the distance and said, "I can handle it!"

"Are you sure? The monarch isn't joking!" Lu Xu asked, frowning.

The ancient capital can no longer afford to lose a super-level mage!

"With my transcendent power, as long as my magical energy is sufficient, I will be immortal!" Hua Yu said confidently.

Immediately afterwards, the Demon Fire Slave and the Luo Mian Fire Slave suddenly appeared beside Hua Yu, and two monarch-level auras suddenly appeared on the city wall.

"Two monarch-level contracted beasts!" Lu Xu exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the two fire slaves that suddenly appeared beside Hua Yu.

Hua Yu just smiled and didn't say anything. The Fire Slave did indeed look very much like a fire elemental being.

"Alright, the Ghost Lord is now in your hands. We will cover your safe approach to it!" Flying Horn said sternly.
