The Forbidden Curse Association / Defying the Consensus, Lu Mei Joins the Battle

This is also an advantage for a master magician to take the position of family head, allowing them to gain the respect of the Zhao Clan family, a prominent business family.

On the other side, in the suburbs of Magic City, Zhang Xiaohou and He Yu stood by the roadside, watching the densely packed army of Military Mage form a long, narrow procession and slowly drive into the city.

Zhang Xiaohou looked dazed, silently thinking, "Brother Fan, Brother Lu, I'm here. I wonder if we'll ever meet again."

The eastern front was heavily damaged and manpower was stretched thin, so troops from the west had to be mobilized, even his own direct subordinates were transferred.

With Lu Jun guarding the Ancient Capital, it's as stable as Mount Tai.

Just as Zhang Xiaohou was pondering, a middle-aged general with a dark complexion strode over and ordered, "Commander Zhang, is it? There are orders for you to go to Xiamen to provide support."

"Not going to Magic City?"

Zhang Xiaohou was taken aback. The military order had already been given, but he dared not delay. He turned around and commanded his troops to head towards Xiamen.

Meanwhile, in the Ding City, not far from the coast...

Rumble!

A figure of Flame King stood tall, his vast aura descending, and in front of him, a towering Stone Giant collapsed with a crash.

Mo Fan's raging Tribulation Fire died down, and he quickly descended, reaching into the Stone Giant's chest. A murky, earthy-yellow crystal fell into his hand; it was extremely heavy, twice the size of the Water Element Crystal that Lu Jun had obtained from the Mermaid's nest.

That's enough for two people.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Old Lu wasn't lying to me, Earth Element Devouring Seed?"

Mo Fan's mouth watered. He had toured the Bing Ce Fu and learned many secrets, such Fusion Method, Devouring Seed creation, and Dark Substance customization. Any one of these could greatly increase his combat power, so he naturally understood the principle that following Old Lu meant there would be plenty to eat.

Take this instance for example. Without Fusion Magic, two Super Rank wouldn't stand a chance against this powerful monarch.

Mo Fan had just obtained the earth element nanocrystal and hadn't even had a chance to rest when he suddenly received news that the Pacific Empire had invaded?!

He immediately panicked. In Magic City, he had many important people and things: his father, his concubine and his first wife, Pearl Academy...

Mo Fan hurriedly prepared to return to Magic City, but unexpectedly encountered Zhang Xiaohou on the way. The two brothers had many feelings to share upon meeting.

Unfortunately, Mo Fan's desire to participate in the battle in Magic City was prevented. As an ordinary Super Rank, he would struggle to even defeat a Great Monarch, let alone Emperor. He could only be used as a restraint, so he was sent to Xiamen.

Mo Fan was initially reluctant, but upon hearing that Lu Jun was in Magic City, he felt a sense of relief for some reason.

He knew Lao Lu's abilities; this kid had many trump cards up his sleeve, so there was no need to worry about the Magic City being breached.

Since Zhang Xiaohou was being transferred to Xiamen, the two of them decided to go together.

As soon as the Sea Demon Empire invaded, powerful figures from all sides gathered. Not only did Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Zhao Manyan take action, but in the more distant Qinling Mountains, a grand celebration came to an end, with a massive battle erupting between more than a dozen monarchs, resulting in countless deaths and injuries.

Every moment, countless corpses of birds Demon Beast fall from the sky thousands of meters high, raining down in torrents of blood. Within the dense mountains and forests, all the Demon Beast are filled with dread, listening to the deafening roar overhead.

The competition among the Feather Emperor in this generation is particularly fierce. Although bloodshed sometimes occurs when they fight in the air, at the level of the Sovereign Flying Beasts, it is only a matter of superiority, not life or death.

But times have changed, and the leader of the Ancient Capital will not tolerate any uncontrollable forces that are close at hand.

Lu Mei joined forces with the Supreme Monarch Moon-Eared Phoenix, fighting her way up to the heavens and strengthening the Feather Emperor's authority. Any monarch who disobeyed orders was killed.

In the vast expanse of the sky, amidst the thick sea of clouds and towering peaks, atop a crimson phoenix nest, stands a supreme feathered Feather Emperor, pure white with six phoenix wings on his back, exuding mystery and nobility. His gentle yet majestic gaze sweeps over the dozen or so monarchs present.

The Moon-Eared Phoenix has successfully undergone Nirvana, and her appearance is completely different. There is no trace of a moth in her image; she is now a phoenix of Light Element.

Its body was clean, untouched by any trace of Blood Qi, yet it still silenced all sorts of monarch birds. In the distance, several enormous nests were filled with the remains of mountains-sized corpses lying on the ground.

Among them was a giant bird with magnificent silver feathers all over its body. If Lu Jun were here, he would definitely recognize it as the former Silver Dome Lord, who is now devoid of any life force.

Standing on the broad back of the Moon Moth Phoenix, Lu Mei exuded a murderous Killing Aura with every gesture. Raising an eyebrow, she said, "Order them to set off and go to the coast to support my brother."

Chapter 596 Forbidden Curse Association

At this moment, Lu Jun in Magic City was unaware that many old friends were coming to support him in their own ways.

The entire Nine Provinces roared like a machine, with massive amounts of manpower, material resources, and financial resources converging in the east. A tense and heavy atmosphere permeated the air, and war was imminent.

Lu Jun and Ding Yumian crossed the Teleportation Gate and instantly appeared at the heart of the Pearl Tower, appearing and disappearing as if by magic.

The dozen or so Forbidden Curse Mage God of the Forbidden Curse Association Spells Association were having a meeting when suddenly someone barged in, startling them all. Their gazes focused on the two people who had appeared.

Lu Jun remained calm and composed, showing no alarm, but his grip on Ding Yumian's hand tightened slightly.

He sensed it and smiled as he Mind Telepathy to Ding Yumian: "From this moment on, no one in the magical world can threaten us, not even the Seven Archangels combined!"

Lu Jun naturally possessed this arrogance. Not to mention the Di Sheng Flower, which had truly ascended to the rank of Emperor, he now also possessed Emperor combat power. In addition, with the ancestral status of the Sub-Emperor Holy Spirit, he was not easily subdued.

Of course, Lu Jun can also transform into the Undead Emperor. With his current cultivation level, transforming into the Undead Emperor is not as simple as High-Order Mage like Zhan Kong transforming into Ancient King. He faintly possesses the formidable combat power of Dominator Emperor.

He could easily take on seven opponents; whether he could kill them depended on how much he was willing to pay.

Lu Jun was already considering how to take over such a huge power after demoting the Holy City to the mortal world. Fortunately, the establishment of the Bing Ce Fu had laid a certain foundation, so it wouldn't be a hasty takeover.

He knew that overthrowing the Holy City was easy, but ensuring a smooth transfer of power was the real problem. He couldn't allow a power vacuum to emerge, otherwise all sorts of monsters and demons would come out and seize power.

In the Original Timeline, Mo Fan compromised because he was used to being lazy and couldn't handle such a massive force.

Anyway, Lu Jun wouldn't just kill without burying the dead; what difference would that make from Douluo Tang San... cough cough cough, he didn't want to be a sucker and be used as a pawn.

During Mo Fan's Dark Trial, none of the thirteen chess pieces turned black, demonstrating that the major powers in the magical society were eager for the Holy City to perish.

Lu Jun actually had another good way to take over the Holy City, but we'll talk about that later. The most urgent task is to deal with the invasion of the Pacific Empire.

At this moment, the Forbidden Curse Mage present, after their initial surprise, discovered that it was Lu Jun and showed expressions of curiosity.

Many people glanced at Ding Yumian with meaningful looks. They vaguely knew some inside information about this Calamity Bringer, but they couldn't be bothered to pay attention.

Now that they've walked out so openly, there's no way we can turn a blind eye now. The Holy City will definitely investigate afterward.

But... President Hong Wu glanced at Lu Jun and knew in his heart that he was no ordinary person with a very strong backing. He was afraid that the Nine Provinces would protect him to the death, which would lead to an open conflict with the Holy City.

Just as the atmosphere became tense, Dean Xiao stepped forward first, smiling and saying, "What are you all standing here for? Hurry up and go inside for a meeting, let's see how to fight this battle?"

Dean Xiao spoke with his three-element forbidden spell, all the Forbidden Curse Mage gave him face and greeted the newcomer, Lu Jun, with smiles, inviting him to sit down.

Unlike the Original Timeline, Dean Xiao's bloody battle against the Vicious Dragon Emperor completely exposed him, leading to his inclusion on the Forbidden Curse Association's list.

They didn't mean to look down on Lu Jun. Putting aside his various deeds, the fact that he could merge with the Water Element Holy Spirit Emperor Emperor him the most crucial person in this battle.

At this moment, a kind-looking monk in the corner of the conference room suddenly spoke up, praising Ding Yumian: "This female bodhisattva, your spiritual realm and attainments are extraordinary, no less than this old monk's."

"I never imagined I'd live to see another Mind Element of forbidden spells in the Nine Provinces. I was worried there wouldn't be anyone to follow in their footsteps. Even if I were to die in this war, it would all be worth it."

Upon hearing this, the forbidden spells were slightly startled. Looking at the kind old monk, they shook their heads and sighed, "Why must you say such discouraging things, Venerable Monk?"

This monk was a powerful figure from Lingyin Temple, possessing the only Mind Forbidden Curse in the Nine Provinces. He had come down from the mountain to help, following the forbidden spell's summons.

Because of his extraordinary personality and good interpersonal skills, his words immediately created a more harmonious atmosphere, allowing Lu Jun and the other person to blend in.

Most of the Forbidden Curse Mage were secretly alarmed by the master's words. The next Mind Forbidden Curse, which meant that Ding Yumian's promotion was almost certain.

Lu Jun was surprised, not expecting that besides his master, Dean Xiao, someone else would directly express goodwill towards them.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yumian humbly replied, "Venerable monk, you flatter me. I am unworthy of the title of Bodhisattva."

"Hahaha," the monk from Lingyin Temple laughed, "No need to be modest. With your level of spiritual attainment, a single thought can inspire faith in millions of households, filling the air with incense smoke. How can you not be called a Bodhisattva?"

"Moreover, I observe that your spirit is gentle and peaceful, suggesting a kind nature. Otherwise, if you were to encounter someone with an evil heart, I would worry that no one could cure you after death."

After hearing this, Lu Jun felt relieved. What he said was true. Mind Mage was incredibly terrifying, able to control people's hearts. If it came to forbidden spells, it would be even more frightening. Ancient priests used this to gather countless people's hearts and establish religions.

Ding Yumian nodded slightly and thanked her, "Thank you for your guidance, Master."

The monk from Lingyin Temple chuckled and said nothing more.

Immediately, the group of forbidden spellcasters took their seats; all of them were top figures in the magical world.

President Hong Wu slowly began, "This is Lu Jun. I won't go into too much detail. He is indispensable to the Fusion Water Element Emperor."

"Next, let's return to the main topic: what is the bottom line in this battle? Is it to repel the Sea Demon Empire, or to allow a step back? And where is the bottom line for retreating? Is it to cede Pudong, or half of Magic City, or even abandon Magic City?"

These words caused everyone to fall into deep thought, and the atmosphere became quiet.

Lu Jun was astonished, not expecting that these humans would plan to retreat before even using their forbidden spells. He frowned.

Dean Xiao seemed to sense his emotions and secretly shook his head at him.

After a moment, the forbidden spellcasters began to discuss among themselves, devising different plans regarding the estimated number of Emperor to appear.

For example, what should we do if there is only one Demon Emperor? What if there are two?... Or what if the Sea King Skeleton below has defeated our Super Rank alliance? Should we take action or not?

Seeing this scene, Lu Jun felt rather bored and a little cold inside. His initial enthusiasm subsided, and he suddenly found it somewhat ridiculous.

He understood some things. No wonder the Sea King Skeleton in the Original Timeline summoned three Peak Ranker, only to have them slapped to death by the Dragon Ant Queen, yet the Forbidden Curse Association silent.

If Mo Fan hadn't pursued the Sea King Skeleton across the ocean and killed him, barely saving face, the matter would probably have ended so hastily.

These forbidden spellcasters are all afraid of death.

Lu Jun observed coldly, sizing up President Hong Wu. The man's expression was solemn and unmoving, and it was impossible to discern anything about him.

Beside her, Ding Yumian frowned, feeling uneasy. She could only shift her attention elsewhere, frequently glancing through the observation deck of the Pearl Tower at the battlefield right under her nose to the southeast.

Chapter 597 Overcoming Opposition, Lu Mei Joins the Battle

Rumble!

The Sea King Skeleton is submerged in a vast ocean, and with every move it stirs up towering waves that sweep across the heavens and earth.

Every now and then, high-ranking legions were unable to retreat in time and were submerged by the surging Tide. After a deafening roar, the dark seawater receded, leaving only white bones and corpses scattered on the ground.

Similarly, with the Super Rank mages holding them back from all sides, many who stumbled were terrified. A massive, bone-like hand slammed down into the void, and a blood-red flower exploded in the air, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Seeing the devastating losses and the deaths of so many mages, Ding Yumian suddenly stood up, ready to take action.

However, Forbidden Curse Mage intervened, saying in a deep voice, "You must remain calm. This is a battle at the level of Super Rank- monarch. We must use our forbidden spells wisely. Besides, the Sea King Skeleton is so arrogant because Emperor is waiting behind it."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jun gazed at the Sea King Skeleton in the dark rain. He had to admit that the Sea Monster had indeed chosen a good candidate, one who was immune to water and had a certain probability of surviving even after being subjected to forbidden spells.

Upon seeing this, President Hong Wu spoke up, "This scoundrel is arrogant. If this continues, it will shake the resolve of the people and soldiers of the Nine Provinces to resist. We must send someone to deal with him."

"Who should we send?" The crowd discussed amongst themselves, but Hong Wu made the final decision. "Let's send those few Half Forbidden Curse from the Oriental Pearl Tower."

Just as the operation was about to begin, Lu Jun suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to him.

Lu Jun coldly said, "If you send out Peak Ranker and defeat the Sea King Skeleton, what will you do if the Demon Emperor makes a move?"

The dozen or so Forbidden Curse Mage God present fell silent. How could they not know that the person who made the move was facing an uncertain fate? Yet, unable to give a clear answer, they were at a loss for words.

At this moment, the fiery-tempered Fire Mage God bluntly stated, "Then what should we do? The disparity in manpower between the Nine Provinces and the Pacific Empire is not a fault of our own. At best, our dozen or so forbidden spellcasters can only restrain two Emperors."

"As long as we are alive, there is still hope. Even if we retreat step by step, the Pacific Empire will not dare to press us too hard."

"At least Kyushu can still protect the west."

"If we perish, we will lose both people and land."

Lu Jun interrupted, saying, "Couldn't we fight a battle, risking our lives, to achieve the same goal that would make the Pacific Empire wary?"

He surveyed the crowd around him and said, "I know what you're afraid of. What if I had a way to kill the Emperor?"

The Forbidden Curse Mage God looked at each other, somewhat disbelieving.

Dean Xiao spoke up in support, asking, "Lu Jun, what are your plans?"

Lu Jun remained calm, knowing that someone had to take the lead and show hope for victory in the war before these forbidden spells could be mobilized.

In the Original Timeline, the battle in Magic City was fought by the Sea King Skeleton and the Fishing Dragon Ant, both of whom failed and suffered retaliation from the Nine Provinces.

First, Mo Fan fought his way to Mount Fuji in Japan and killed the Sea King Skeleton. Then, Leader Hua risked his life to venture deep into the Pacific Ocean and behead the Emperor Dragon Ant Queen.

They became a pillar of strength, greatly boosting the morale of the mages and common people, and making the Sea Demon Empire wary of them.

Thus, in the Second World War in Magic City, the Cold Moon Eye Demon God, enraged, led a Magic City of Emperor to Shanghai. With the addition of the Demon Mo Fan, the Azure Dragon Sacred Beast, and many totems temporarily elevated to the status of Emperor, the Forbidden Curse finally dared to fight to the death.

Now, Lu Jun no longer pinned his hopes on these forbidden spells and could only play it safe. He mocked, "You don't need to send anyone. Just wait for my men to make their move. I'll take care of the rest of the Emperor. You can just stand by and watch."

Upon hearing this, all the forbidden spells blushed, as this portrayed them as bureaucrats driven by selfish desires, and they glared angrily.

Sensing their opportunity, the Mind Forbidden Curse from Lingyin Temple, giving no chance for rebuttal, quickly echoed, "We are not cowards who seek only to live. If you dare to challenge Emperor, we are willing to risk our lives to accompany you."

This statement immediately put all the forbidden spells to a standstill.

But that wasn't all. President Hong Wu, with a meaningful look, revealed his trump card. "Originally, Leader Hua would have personally overseen the operation, but he believes Lu Bing Ce's strength is no less than his own, and has ordered our Forbidden Curse Association to take full command of Lu Bing Ce."
