My Mother-in-Law, Oh My!

"What!!"

Mo Fan frowned slightly, not particularly shocked. There weren't many things in this world that could shock him anymore.

Since ancient times, only officials had suppressed bandits, never the other way around.

The Black Flood Pavilion was acting up in Donghuang's thunderous territory. It would be interesting if the Imperial Palace's guards got involved. Who cared if they were executioners or soul hunters; if they dared to show off, he'd make them fly!

"Then what should we do? Go support Qingyang Town?" Mo Fan asked.

"Support is the Tribunal's job. You're not a judge," Ling Ling said.

"Alright." Mo Fan became honest upon hearing that.

He found a rock and sat down. His Shadow Element magic wasn't fully cultivated yet. He'd take this time to consolidate it. He wasn't sure if it was because he had ignited the soul shadow of the Ghost Shadow Evil Disciple, but Mo Fan's Shadow Element cultivation had always been stronger than his Summoning Element.

However, in terms of visible combat power, the Summoning Element was stronger than the Shadow Element.

Above Qingyang Town, a portion of the stars suddenly shone with a different brilliance. A terrifying magical aura was brewing in the center of the town. Someone was connecting constellations and releasing High Level magic.

Was it that aggressive? How long had it been before they directly unleashed High Level magic? The elemental fluctuations of the magic agitated the surrounding elements. Mo Fan retreated from his Meditation Cultivation state.

"Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!"

Mo Fan could even hear the roar of magic, along with some vulgar curses like "beep beep beep beep."

There was indeed a Black Beast Demon transformation pool in the center of Qingyang Town. Normally, only three black-robed cultists guarded it. However, Salang was currently being hunted by the Holy City, the Potala Holy Palace, the Imperial Palace, and the Donghuang Tribunal.

So, thinking of an old Donghuang saying, the most dangerous place is the safest place, she hid in a small town not far from Song City.

Unexpectedly, the Tribunal suddenly surrounded Qingyang Town. This made Salang suspicious: was it a coincidence, or had someone close to her leaked information?

Fortunately, she always prepared for contingencies. Ye Chang had instructed her most favored disciple among the Nine Disciples to impersonate her, while she herself donned a black robe.

This way, the Tribunal members would only mistake her for a black-robed cultist. Even if she managed to escape the encirclement, their main focus wouldn't be on her. Therefore, she could only pray that her disciple could buy her more time.

Ye Chang's black robe concealed her curvaceous figure. Using Shadow Element magic, she moved unseen in the darkness. Shadow magic was executed with exquisite skill in her hands!

Although Salang wasn't known for her combat prowess among the Cardinal Archbishops, it didn't mean her magical cultivation was shallow. She was a Super Level mage with full mastery of four elements, and her published articles could still be found in academic circles today.

She stopped when she reached the outskirts of Qingyang Town because she was safe now. The main force of the Tribunal was dealing with her disciple.

She removed her black robe, revealing her ordinary attire underneath. She looked like any ordinary woman.

After crossing the bridge, a strange black shadow suddenly appeared before her.

"Auntie, where are you going so late?"

Mo Fan cursed inwardly. Although Ye Chang had put on some makeup, he recognized her immediately as his mother-in-law, the Cardinal Archbishop of the Black Flood Pavilion!

What was going on? Why was his mother-in-law coming to his place?

Mo Fan was a little panicked, as he was currently quite weak. If Salang targeted him, she could crush him instantly!

"My husband was hit by a car in the city. I'm rushing to the hospital!!" Ye Chang feigned an anxious and distressed demeanor.

Mo Fan, who knew the truth, almost burst out laughing. Her husband was the only High Level Emperor Ruler in the Dark Dimension. Hit by a car?

What kind of car?

The Starry Sky Train!

Although he wanted to laugh, he had to play along as expected.

"Alright, Auntie, hurry up. Be careful on the road." Mo Fan also acted concerned, urging Ye Chang to leave quickly.

But in his heart, he thought, Hurry up, hurry up. It's best not to meet before I reach Super Level. After Super Level—if you dare to come, I dare to make sure you never return!

Even Wentai wouldn't be a match, he thought.

"Okay, okay, okay..."

Mo Fan watched Ye Chang's figure until she disappeared before heaved a sigh of relief. Why did a major boss appear in his peaceful beginner village?

Fortunately, his superb acting skills were online, and Salang didn't notice anything amiss.

Mo Fan returned to his stakeout location. Salang had already escaped, so the area inside should be mostly cleared by now.

"Mo Fan, Mo Fan, what was going on just now? Why did you turn off the signal?" Ling Ling's voice came through his earpiece.

"I didn't. Maybe it was the magic fluctuations just now. Everything is fine on my end," Mo Fan said guiltily.

"Of course, I know you're fine. The escaping Black Flood Pavilion members are with Senior Brother Xiao Ding. Hurry up and help him!!" Ling Ling said quickly.

She was afraid that if she waited any longer, it wouldn't be helping Xiao Ding, but collecting his corpse.

[Spirit Domain · Ghost Wolf Beast]

Without needing to connect to the Star Orbit, Mo Fan achieved one-click summoning through his Spirit Domain. A giant patterned wolf, comparable in size to a water buffalo, appeared before him.

It was the old wolf in its growth phase. The Ghost Wolf Beast grew very quickly; in two months, the old wolf had progressed from its juvenile stage to its growth stage.

"Let's go, old wolf!!"

Although the saying goes that riding a dog will ruin your pants, Mo Fan clearly couldn't afford to worry about that now. He flipped onto the old wolf's back and pointed in the direction of Xiao Ding's location, telling it to go.

The Ghost Wolf Beast was a demon beast of the wolf species with very balanced abilities. Its strength, speed, and endurance were all above average.

Soon, Mo Fan arrived with the old wolf at the place Xiao Ding was guarding. There weren't many Black Flood Pavilion members, only two.

One in black, one in gray.

But the number of Black Beast Demons was large. More than thirty deformed monkey-like Oddities surrounded Xiao Ding. If Xiao Ding wasn't a mage with full mastery of both Wind and Light elements, he would have likely died long ago.

"Awooooo—"

The old wolf charged straight in, instantly sending two or three flying!!

The young wolf was in the prime of his youth.

Pride was ingrained in the wolf tribe's bones. In the world of Demonic Beasts, only powerful figures or those of the Dragon or Tiger tribes were valued by the wolf tribe.

But these Black Beast Demons were clearly not among them. They looked neither human nor ghost, truly monstrous Oddities.

Mo Fan rolled off the wolf's back.

"Fire Seed · Explode!!"

As soon as Mo Fan stood upright, he immediately threw a scorching fireball. In the Black Flood Pavilion's terrified gaze, it seemed as if a lion was roaring within the fireball.

The explosive roar echoed, and the blazing flames surged outwards like devils, sending eight or nine Black Beast Demons flying.

Seeing Mo Fan arrive, Xiao Ding's suspended heart finally settled.

"Junior Brother Mo Fan."

"I'm here."

"Junior Brother Mo Fan."

"I know, Senior Brother Xiao Ding, no need to say thank you."

"Not that, Junior Brother Mo Fan, I meant your summoned beast is about to be bitten to death!" Xiao Ding pointed at the Ghost Wolf Beast behind Mo Fan.

Mo Fan looked back, and it was indeed true—Oh, for f*ck's sake!

More than a dozen Black Beast Demons had surrounded the Ghost Wolf Beast, using a ruthless human wave tactic.
