Killing White Deer, Blue Bat Becomes Cardinal? / Heading to the Demon Capital, the Water Element Devouring Seed

Lu Jun hesitated, inwardly sighing. He was really unlucky. If it weren't for the Mind Element, his Curse Magic would probably have been able to catch up with the other party.

Fortunately, there is a clue that he can pass on to the Zu Family, allowing them to utilize their vast international resources to search for it. Combined with intelligence from the Hunter's Alliance, the chances of finding it will greatly increase.

Not long after, Lu Jun consolidated his cultivation and used his appreciative gaze to examine the six major Magic System within his Spiritual World.

After much effort, I've reached level 5 in the Water Element, Curse Element, and Mind Element. All that's left are the Summoning System, Space Element, and Metal Element, and I think I can get those to level 5 as well.

"I wonder what form the Summoning System Borrowed Magic, or the Space Element's Mind Force Field, would take if it were to advance further."

His eyes shone with intense curiosity. The original text barely described the six elements, and each step forward opened up a relatively unfamiliar territory, touching the boundaries of magic.

Suddenly, Lu Jun's phone rang. Some time had passed since the Star Enhancement event, Adjudication Court calling to inform him that the Black Vatican was about to arrive.

"Blue Bat?"

Lu Jun set off and arrived at the designated coastline, standing by the pier, enjoying the sea breeze.

After several hours, black dots began to appear on the horizon, and as they drew closer, several luxury cruise ships were seen about to dock.

The remnants of the Black Vatican were hiding inside.

Soon, the cruise ship docked, and passengers poured off, making it almost impossible to distinguish the Black Vatican from its original form amidst the bustling crowd.

Lu Jun put his hands in his pockets, closed his eyes, and dispersed his Mental Power to carefully distinguish his inner emotions.

All the passengers brushed past him, completely ignoring his presence.

Level 4 Intermediate Level Mind Ripple - Mind Invisibility!

Immediately afterwards, Lu Jun locked onto one Black Vatican Member after another, sneering inwardly. No matter how normal his outward appearance, the stench and brutality within him still overflowed.

A stylish woman in the crowd, pulling a suitcase, wearing a sun hat and sunglasses, felt a pang of fear.

Blue Bat subtly scanned her surroundings and noticed that, unbeknownst to her, various Black Vatican members disguised as travelers had casually approached, forming a subtle formation that trapped her inside, forcing her to move forward with the crowd.

She keenly sensed a Killing Intent and her eyes scanned the surroundings.

Just then, a girl standing very close by whispered with a smile, "Sister Lan, were you looking for me?"

Salang's eighth disciple! Blue Bat was startled, suddenly realizing that the Cardinal conflict had not only not stopped after they escaped Kyushu, but had intensified.

During the long chase, the nine disciples betrayed each other, and most of them died.

Only three remained: Blue Bat, the girl beside him, and Yan Qiu, who was far away in Europe and was also Mu Bai's older sister.

Leaving Yan Qiu aside for the time being, she distanced herself from Salang and, having fallen out of the power struggle after the upheaval, was already out of the game.

Now it's just her and this young girl, White Deer, engaged in a final battle.

The young girl, White Deer, said softly, "Before the Lord of Lead Conductor left, he said that only one of us could survive."

The Blue Bat stood tall and imposing. Among the seven Cardinal were seven Lead Conductor, each personally appointed by the Pope. They were similar to elders in novels, embodying the lineage and heritage of their respective schools.

They remain within the existing Black Vatican system and wish to inherit the title of Cardinal; Lead Conductor is the first hurdle.

"Do you think you've already won?"

At this moment, Blue Bat remained calm but was filled with inner crisis. She was the last to be accepted as a disciple by Salang, and her power base was shallow. It would be extremely difficult for her to escape from the trap set by White Deer.

Fortunately, she had a backup plan. She thought to herself, "I wonder if the Adjudication Court promised to hunt me down. Only in chaos will I have a chance to escape."

For now, she could only stall for time and, incidentally, stir up White Deer's suspicions, deliberately saying, "Don't forget, none of Salang's three major subordinates— Black Alchemist, Palm Leader Wu Ku, Lead Conductor —came to Japan with him; their whereabouts are all unknown."

"These people don't acknowledge us at all. Our infighting is just for show. We should join forces, flatten the mountain strongholds first, and then settle things once and for all."

The current situation is similar to the power struggle among princes in feudal dynasties. The central government is in turmoil over the throne, while powerful local generals on the borders are disloyal and restless, and may very well end up doing the work for someone else.

White Deer smiled, unmoved. "That's none of your business. At least if you die, I'll get half of the Cardinal's entry ticket."

As they talked, they gradually moved away from the crowds and headed towards a secluded area.

Just as Blue Bat was secretly anxious, thinking of a way to escape, Lu Jun, who was like a ghost beside him, heard the two talking and smiled faintly to himself.

He had essentially pinpointed the locations of all the remnants of the Black Vatican, but instead of alerting them, he secretly laid down Mind Mark and markers of Fearful Haze.

The docks are crowded and noisy; if the Black Vatican is disturbed, they could take a large number of tourists hostage, which would be troublesome.

Lu Jun patiently followed Blue Bat and his companion.

During this time, he was actually somewhat disappointed. The highest-ranking member of this group of Black Vatican was only high-ranking, and there wasn't a single Super Rank. Wu Ku and the other bigwigs each had their own plans and left through other means.

"Very well, contact Blue Bat and push her to become a Red-Clad, thereby interfering in the internal affairs of the Black Vatican."

Lu Jun thought to himself, and as he watched the Black Vatican lead the Blue Bat away down a secluded path, he finally moved. He suddenly appeared beside the girl White Deer and thrust the Tai'a Sword into her heart.

In that instant, White Deer, the girl who was arm in arm with Blue Bat, as if they were close best friends, felt a chill run down her spine as the bell rang.

With a sickening thud, the sound of flesh being sliced rang out. Caught off guard and unable to dodge, a bloody hole appeared in White Deer's chest, his delicate face filled with disbelief.

The clever Blue Bat seized the opportunity to shake off the White Deer and quietly disappeared into the shadows.

Before fleeing, she glanced back and saw a young man in a black and gold coat smiling faintly at her from behind the girl, White Deer. A voice suddenly echoed in her mind, "Bee Sting, see you later."

Upon hearing this, the Blue Bat was startled, but without saying anything more, it hurriedly flew away.

The Black Vatican Member, who had been disguised as ordinary travelers from all directions, suddenly realized what was happening and glared angrily at Lu Jun's figure in the middle of the group.

Just as Lu Jun was about to say something, he sensed a very dangerous aura coming from beside him.

Sizzle!

The White Deer girl's skin suddenly split open, revealing an indescribable body inside. Soft white fur spread all over her body, her muscles swelled rapidly, a pair of antlers grew from her forehead, and her pupils were savage and cruel.

Her body suddenly leaped several meters into the air, and the fatal wound in her chest healed rapidly.

Here comes the Black Vatican's unique and bizarre evil magic!

Chapter 305 Killing the White Deer, Red-Clad Blue Bat?

The White Deer had completely transformed into Demon Beast, its entire body radiating a terrifying aura.

Buzz! Its tail lashed out like a thorny whip, combining speed and power, leaving a blurry afterimage with lightning speed.

Lu Jun's figure drifted away, disappearing from the spot. He was swept away by the Ghost Execution of Through-the-Net Black Impermanence. With outsiders present, it was inconvenient to use the Teleportation of the Space Element, but the wind-controlling power of the Qiankun Domain made it easier to dodge.

Thump! The blurry tail whip slammed heavily onto the ground with a deafening roar, and a ravine stretching for hundreds of meters was ripped open, sending boulders flying.

The White Deer was no longer human; it turned and stared at him with bloodlust.

"Triple High Level elemental systems: Healing System, Poison Element, and Summoning System. Interesting."

Lu Jun sized up the strange, half-human, poisonous deer and discerned its strength. After using evil techniques, it had firmly reached the peak of the ruler level, but was far weaker than the Sea Demon God Race.

He couldn't resist the urge to test whether conventional combat power could defeat an enemy of this level.

Buzz buzz buzz!

At this moment, the Black Vatican surrounded them, intending to help their disciple White Deer deal with Lu Jun, but then they suddenly found themselves unable to move.

Countless Black-Red Spider Silk appeared in the air, filled with immense curse power. Enhanced by the Mental Power of the Blood Abyss and the Five Realms, their power was boundless, not to mention the Thousand Mile Soul Lock technique activated by each of them, with a pair of evil eyes staring intently from behind.

Aaaaah!! Dozens of members of the Black Vatican screamed as their soul energy was devoured by the ghost face, their bodies rapidly shriveling up, their life force almost completely drained.

Lu Jun glanced at the nearby enemies. The group of Black Vatican were probably among the few elites, all at the peak of the Intermediate Level, with many High-Order Mage among them.

But he could kill even large numbers of General-level Demonic Beast, let alone the fragile human mages.

Boom!

Seeing the miserable state of its subordinates, the White Deer- man became even more enraged. With a leap, it charged forward, breaking the sound barrier and creating layers upon layers of air currents.

In the distance, Lu Jun remained unmoved. In the blink of an eye, the White Deer appeared before him. He let out a low roar, his blood and qi surging, Demonic Ritual Mark spreading across his crystal-clear, hard skin. Behind him, surging seawater rose into the sky. With a punch, the Heavenly River Breaks Its Banks.

With a whoosh, the massive monster was instantly sent flying by the jet-black waterfall.

The black, deadly water eroded the White Deer's left paw, making a hissing sound and leaving it pitted and uneven.

Immediately, the White Deer exuded an eerie, blood-red life force, and miraculously recovered in the blink of an eye. Its giant claws remained intact, their sharp edges gleaming.

Roar! It roared and pounced again. Ignoring the numbness in his fists, Lu Jun's eyes were sharp as he threw punch after punch. The Tide rose and fell, and the dark blue glow illuminated half the sky. A fifty-meter-high giant wave stood proudly, clearly visible in the city.

Rumble!

The battle caused immense destruction; wherever they went, houses collapsed and docks were flooded.

Fortunately, the area is relatively remote, and the residents of the surrounding buildings moved away long ago. Only some dilapidated, uninhabited wooden houses remain. Japan has a severe aging population, and many areas have become ghost towns.

At the busier docks, both tourists and locals wisely kept their distance upon witnessing this scene.

As for the patrolling mages responsible for maintaining order, they watched with wry smiles. Their small port was already fortunate to have one or two High-Order Mage maintaining order; their current strength was insufficient to intervene in this battle, and they could only watch helplessly.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Lu Jun confronted the monster head-on. The Milky Way stretched endlessly. At first, it fell below and had to use the Water Glory Sky Curtain for defense. When it was stacked up later, it pushed the White Deer monster horizontally for thousands of meters, plowing out a wide and deep ravine.

As the dark sea receded, the White Deer that had been standing there turned into a lump of rotten flesh, but its bloody flesh and bones continued to writhe, seemingly trying to return to its original state.

Seeing this, Lu Jun shook his head. The Black Vatican's evil magic had too many side effects, a hundred times worse than Mo Fan's Demonization. Once used, it would be certain death.

Despite White Deer's seemingly invincible Healing Ability, he has actually exhausted his life force. Even if he doesn't intervene, this eighth disciple will be finished once the transformation ends.

Lu Jun unleashed his final move, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light. Behind him, two gigantic, mountain-like black Ghost Shadow figures appeared, the Sky Ghost Fiend and the Earth Ghost Fiend, overlapping each other. He exhaled softly.

Instantly, sand and stones flew, and a gray, swirling wind rose up, blotting out the sun, plunging the entire dock into a gray haze once more.

The White Deer screamed in agony, its mangled flesh turning into stone inch by inch, then shattering into dust under the onslaught of the powerful energy, vanishing into nothingness.

Lu Jun used his two main Magic System, water and curses, to decisively defeat the enemy, making the battle a resounding success.

During this period of cultivation, my strength has improved significantly compared to when I first joined the National Government.

He glanced into the distance, and before the arrival of the local Super Rank powerhouses from Japan, he quietly summoned the Night Thunder Dream Beast and fled into the shadows.

Of course, before leaving, he used his Portable Space to take the corpses of the Black Vatican members with him, so as not to leave any evidence for the Japanese authorities. These Black Vatican Member were very valuable; their heads could be used to make money at the Adjudication Court.

A moment later, Lu Jun appeared clean and refreshed on the side of the street, his gaze fixed on the Blue Bat's back from over ten kilometers away, a slight smile playing on his lips, "Still trying to hide? Thousand Mile Soul Lock is really useful."

On the other side, the wealthy tourist played by Blue Bat hurried along the street, and at a corner, she almost bumped into a cold-looking young man.

She watched as the shadow on Lu Jun dissipated, opened her mouth but didn't know how to speak.

"National Mansion Captain Lu Jun of the National Government, who exactly are you?"

The Blue Bat knew it couldn't escape, and stared intently at its opponent.

Lu Jun smiled and said, "Let's find a quiet place to talk."

The two found a coffee shop with private rooms one after the other, and sat down to talk.

The Blue Bat remained calm and asked first, "How did you know about the existence of the Bee Sting?"

"That's none of your business," Lu Jun said calmly. "I have my own intelligence channels. I not only know you're Bee Sting, but I also know your superior, Mu Tao, an elder of the Mu Clan and Supreme Tribunal!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Blue Bat was startled, sensing that Lu Jun was definitely not an ordinary civilian, and that there seemed to be an unfathomable dark ocean behind him.

Which faction is it? Adjudication Court, she subconsciously pondered.

Before Blue Bat could finish her guess, she suddenly went into darkness, her mind throbbing with pain, and she was filled with terror.

When Blue Bat awoke, she saw Lu Jun opposite her with heterochromatic eyes and gasped, "What did you do to me?!"

"It's nothing, I just used some techniques on your soul."

He said, "These spells can completely control you. Don't expect to break free by telling the Black Vatican or the Adjudication Court. I will sense your every thought, even from thousands of miles away, and the spells I've laid will unleash their power to destroy your soul."

"Don't ask about my background. What I want is for you to serve me completely, not the Black Vatican, the Adjudication Court, or even Mu Tao."

Lu Jun paused, then said meaningfully, "Don't underestimate the Black Vatican. Do you really think that becoming their sole disciple will guarantee your promotion to Cardinal? You still have to go through the ordeal of the Dark Faith."

"It will distort your will and spirit, and no matter how strong your faith is, it will be completely changed once you sit on the red throne."

"Ordinary people might be helpless, but I'm a professional in this area and can protect your mental well-being."

Upon hearing this, the Blue Bat felt a deep chill, as if it were being stared at intently, its eyes looking down like those of a god, omnipresent.

Chapter 306 Heading to the Demon Capital, Water Element Devouring Seed

Inside the secluded private room, Blue Bat remained silent, secretly examining his soul. Only after discovering the restriction did he believe that what Lu Jun had said was true.

What is your purpose?
