My Freaking Mother-in-Law!

"What?!"

Mo Fan frowned slightly, but he was not particularly shocked. There were not many things left in this world that could surprise him.

Since ancient times, officials had always suppressed bandits. When had bandits ever suppressed officials?

Black Flood Pavilion was dancing in Donghuang's minefield. It would be amusing if they brought out the Imperial Palace guards. Executioners, Black Souls, whatever—they could try acting tough, and he would send them flying!

"What are we supposed to do, then? Go support Qingyang Town?" Mo Fan asked.

"Providing support is the Tribunal's job. You're not a Judge," Ling Ling said.

"Fine." Mo Fan obediently settled down after hearing that.

He found a stone and sat down. His Shadow Magic cultivation was still lacking, so he used this time to consolidate it. Perhaps because he had ignited the Ghost Shadow Evil Disciple's soul shadow, his Shadow Element cultivation had always been stronger than his Summoning Element.

But in terms of overt combat strength, the Summoning Element was stronger than the Shadow Element.

Above Qingyang Town, some stars suddenly shone with an unusual radiance. A terrifying magical aura brewed in the center of town. Someone was forming a constellation and casting High-level Magic.

That violent already? It had not been long, yet they were directly using High-level Magic. The elemental fluctuations of the spell stirred the surrounding elements into a frenzy, forcing Mo Fan out of his meditation.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!!

Mo Fan could already hear the roar of magic, along with some insulting phrases like "beep beep beep beep."

There really was a Black Beast Demon conversion pool in the center of Qingyang Town. Usually, only three Black-robed Cultists guarded the place, but Salan had recently been hunted by the Holy City, Potala Holy Palace, Imperial Palace, and Donghuang Tribunal.

So, following an old Donghuang saying that the most dangerous place was the safest place, she hid in a small town not far from Songcheng.

Yet for some unknown reason, the Tribunal suddenly surrounded Qingyang Town. Salan could not help but wonder whether it was a coincidence or whether someone close to her had leaked information!

Fortunately, she always made two preparations. Ye Chang had one of the Nine Disciples who resembled her most disguise himself as her, while she put on a black robe.

That way, the Tribunal would only think she was a Black-robed Cultist. Even if she managed to escape the encirclement, their attention would not be focused on her. She could only pray that her disciple would buy her more time.

Ye Chang concealed her curvaceous figure beneath the black robe and used Shadow Magic to vanish into the darkness. The shadow magic in her hands was executed with extraordinary finesse!

Although Salan was not renowned for combat prowess among the Cardinal Archbishops, that did not mean her magical cultivation was shallow. She was a Super Level Mage who had fully cultivated four elements, and papers she had published could still be found in academic circles.

She stopped when she reached the edge of Qingyang Town, because she was already safe. The Tribunal's main force was dealing with her disciple.

She removed her black robe, revealing an utterly ordinary outfit. She looked like nothing more than an average middle-aged woman.

After crossing Big Bridge, an unfamiliar shadow suddenly appeared before her.

"Auntie, where are you going so late at night?"

Mo Fan cursed inwardly. Although Ye Chang had put on a little makeup, he recognized at a glance that this was his mother-in-law, the Cardinal Archbishop of Black Flood Pavilion!

What the hell? Why was my mother-in-law here?

Mo Fan was a little panicked. He was still a complete weakling; if Salan set her sights on him, would she not crush him to death in an instant?

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

Mo Fan, who knew the truth, nearly burst out laughing. Her husband was the Dark Dimension's only High Emperor Ruler. A High Emperor Ruler had been hit by a car?

What kind of car was that?

The Starry Sky Train?

Though he really wanted to laugh, he still had to play along.

"Then hurry on, Auntie. Be careful on the road," Mo Fan said with great concern, urging Ye Chang to leave quickly.

But inwardly, he was thinking, Go, go. It would be best if we never met again before I reached the Super Level. After that—if you dare come, I'll make sure you never leave!

Even Wen Tai would not save her. He said so.

"Ah, ah, ah, all right."

Mo Fan kept watching Ye Chang until she disappeared, then finally let out a breath of relief. How had a perfectly fine beginner village suddenly spawned a big boss?

Fortunately, his superb acting had held up. Salan had not noticed anything suspicious.

Mo Fan returned to his watchpoint. Since Salan had already escaped, the cleanup inside should have been nearly finished, right?

"Mo Fan, Mo Fan, what happened just now? Why did you shut off your signal?" Ling Ling's voice came through his earpiece.

"I didn't. Maybe it was because of the magical fluctuations just now. Everything's fine on my end," Mo Fan said guiltily.

"Of course I know you're fine. The fleeing Black Flood Pavilion members are all on Senior Brother Xiao Ding's side. Hurry and help him!" Ling Ling said quickly.

She feared that if he arrived any later, he would not be helping Xiao Ding—he would be collecting Xiao Ding's corpse.

Spirit Domain · Ghost Wolf Beast

There was no need to form a Star Orbit. Through the Spirit Domain, Mo Fan completed a one-click summon, and a patterned giant wolf as large as a buffalo appeared before him.

It was Old Wolf in its growth stage. The Ghost Wolf Beast grew extremely quickly; in just two months, Old Wolf had gone from infancy to its growth stage.

"Let's go, Old Wolf!!"

Though the old saying went that riding a dog ruined one's crotch, Mo Fan clearly could not care about that now. He swung himself onto Old Wolf's back, pointed toward Xiao Ding's location, and gave the order to move.

Among Wolf Clan Demonic Beasts, the Ghost Wolf Beast was an exceptionally well-balanced species. Its strength, speed, and endurance were all above average.

Mo Fan soon arrived at the place Xiao Ding was guarding while riding Old Wolf. There were not many Black Flood Pavilion members, only two.

One wore black, while the other wore gray.

But there were many Black Beast Demons. More than thirty deformed monkey-like monsters surrounded Xiao Ding. If Xiao Ding had not fully cultivated both the wind and light elements, he would likely have died long ago.

Awooo—

Old Wolf charged straight in and instantly sent two or three flying!!

A young wolf was at the age of hot-blooded vigor.

Wolves were proud to their bones. In the demon world, only Great Demon Kings of a region, or races like dragons and tigers, could earn the wolf clan's respect.

But these Black Beast Demons were clearly not among them. Neither human nor ghost, they were aberrations.

Mo Fan rolled down from the wolf's back.

Fire Seed - Burst!!

As soon as Mo Fan steadied himself, he flung out a blazing fireball. In the terrified eyes of the Black Flood Pavilion members, it seemed as if a lion were roaring within the fireball.

The thunderous blast echoed as blazing flames surged outward like demons, sending eight or nine Black Beast Demons flying.

When Xiao Ding saw Mo Fan arrive, the heart that had been hanging in his throat finally settled.

"Junior Brother Mo Fan."

"I'm here."

"Junior Brother Mo Fan."

"I know, Senior Brother Xiao Ding. No need to thank me."

"No, Junior Brother Mo Fan, I wanted to say that your summoned beast is about to be bitten to death!" Xiao Ding pointed at the Ghost Wolf Beast behind Mo Fan.

Mo Fan turned around and looked. It really was—holy crap!

More than a dozen Black Beast Demons had surrounded the Ghost Wolf Beast, shamelessly using human-wave tactics.
