"Damn it! He can actually cast Intermediate Level Magic!" Mu Yuang cursed, not continuing the fight with Mo Fan.
He had thought controlling a few Black Beast Demons would be enough to kill Mo Fan!
But!
He had underestimated him!
Using the Fire Element's Star Atlas Book, Mo Fan unleashed Intermediate Level Magic and killed several of his Black Beast Demons!
In this situation, he was no match and could only retreat!!
Mu Yuang gritted his teeth. He was furious! Since he couldn't kill Mo Fan this time, he'd have to wait for the next!
"Mo Fan, just you wait. Next time, I will kill you!" Mu Yuang spat out the threat and fled without a second word.
Mo Fan didn't care. Watching Mu Yuang scurry away in disgrace, he made no move to chase.
The Star Atlas Books in his hand were limited. If he walked into an ambush, he might end up dead there.
So, to play it safe, he didn't pursue.
With Mu Yuang dealt with, Mo Fan looked toward the direction Song Jie had left in.
"Brother Jie, you have to come back!!" Mo Fan prayed silently.
Earlier, Song Jie had told him to wait here, but he couldn't just stay exposed in the open.
So, he glanced at a nearby building and quickly slipped inside.
Before long, a few Demonic Beasts came sniffing around, but they didn't find him.
Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief and scanned his surroundings. If Song Jie didn't show up, he'd have to go look for him.
Otherwise, with his strength alone, reaching the Safe Zone would be extremely difficult.
After waiting over ten minutes, Song Jie still hadn't returned. Mo Fan was starting to grow anxious.
"Brother Jie, why aren't you back yet!" Mo Fan muttered inwardly, but he decided to wait a little longer.
Just then, he spotted a familiar figure and his eyes lit up!
"That's... Instructor Bai Yang!!" Mo Fan rushed out as if grasping at a lifeline.
At that moment, Bai Yang was riding a Ghost Wolf Beast, approaching from not far away.
He was one of the Military Mages and had served as an instructor for the students during the training.
"Mo Fan?" Bai Yang's eyes also lit up when he saw Mo Fan!
He knew that Mo Fan had been training at the Sacred Spring, and the Sacred Spring was likely in his possession!
He had gone to the place where the Sacred Spring was hidden, but the water there had already been taken.
Even if the Sacred Spring wasn't on Mo Fan, he might know where it had gone.
"Mo Fan? Why are you still here?" Bai Yang rode the Ghost Wolf Beast closer.
His previous Ghost Wolf Beast had been killed by Mo Fan, so he had summoned another one.
"Song Jie and I just escaped from the Sacred Spring. We're heading to the Safe Zone," Mo Fan said.
"Where's Song Jie?"
"We ran into a Black Vatican member on the way. He went after him," Mo Fan replied.
Bai Yang asked in surprise, "You encountered a Black Vatican member? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, but Song Jie hasn't come back for a while. I'm a bit worried," Mo Fan said, though he wasn't actually concerned at all.
After all, the guy could blast a General-level Demonic Beast to death with one skill—what was there to worry about?!
"Alright, I'll go with you to find him later."
Bai Yang said this, then changed the subject: "Mo Fan, I just came from the Sacred Spring and noticed the water there seems to be gone?"
Mo Fan replied, "Song Jie already took all the Sacred Spring water."
"Song Jie took it?"
Bai Yang frowned and pressed further, "I've been tasked with bringing the Sacred Spring back. Mo Fan, can you take me to find Song Jie?"
"Sure!"
Mo Fan nodded readily. Having a teammate was a good thing.
At this point, he had no idea Bai Yang was a Black Vatican member, so he harbored no suspicion.
In the shadows, Song Jie and Tang Yue had already returned, but they didn't reveal themselves.
"Why aren't we going out?" Tang Yue asked Song Jie in confusion.
They were lying on a rooftop, watching Mo Fan and Bai Yang walk this way.
Song Jie turned his head and saw Tang Yue's chest pressed firmly against the ground!
Her clothes looked ready to burst!!
Tang Yue seemed to notice the oddity in Song Jie's gaze and glared at him with a sharp tone, "Brat, where are your eyes looking!"
"Ahem!"
Song Jie cleared his throat twice, then withdrew his gaze and began to explain: "Teacher Tang Yue, when I was tracking the Black Vatican earlier, I heard them mention Instructor Bai Yang's name."
Tang Yue's eyes darkened at this. "You're saying Bai Yang is also a member of the Black Vatican?"
Song Jie nodded.
"Then doesn't that mean Mo Fan is in danger right now?" Tang Yue pressed.
"I'm not sure if he is or not, so I want to test him," Song Jie said.
"How will you test him?"
"Like this..." After Song Jie laid out his plan, Tang Yue nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. If he dares to make a move, I'll kill him," Tang Yue said.
Song Jie stood up, then started heading downstairs. He picked up a clean plastic bottle and filled it with water from the indoor washroom.
He was going to pass it off as the real thing and smoke out Bai Yang's identity!
If Tang Yue weren't here, he would have just killed him outright.
Song Jie went downstairs and arrived in front of Mo Fan and Bai Yang.
"Brother Jie!" Mo Fan's face lit up with joy when he saw Song Jie.
"Mo Fan, there's a demon over there! Get over here quick!" Song Jie shouted in alarm.
Mo Fan was startled and ran toward Song Jie without looking back!
Song Jie was a big shot!
Getting to him meant safety!!
Bai Yang frowned. If there were a demon nearby, his Ghost Wolf Beast beneath him would definitely sense it!
But it hadn't stirred, meaning there was no demon around at all.
"Look at you, so nervous. I was just messing with you," Song Jie said with a smile.
"Brother Jie, you scared me to death just now," Mo Fan said, not angry at all.
Song Jie ignored him after that. He had done this just to get Mo Fan close to him.
"So it was a joke?" Bai Yang thought Song Jie had discovered something.
"Song Jie, I heard from Mo Fan that you have the Sacred Spring?"
"That's right."
"Our boss told me to bring the Sacred Spring back. You can hand it over to me now," Bai Yang said.
"Is that so?"
With that, Song Jie took out the bottle he had filled with water. "The Sacred Spring really is with me."
Bai Yang's eyes lit up at the sight of the Sacred Spring, and he nearly lunged to snatch it right then!
Mo Fan looked at the bottle—it wasn't the same one that had held the Sacred Spring before—but he said nothing.
"Song Jie, bring the bottle over to me," Bai Yang said, trying to suppress the excitement in his voice.
"Sure!"
Song Jie nodded, took a few steps forward until he was in front of the Ghost Wolf Beast, and tossed the bottle to Bai Yang.
Bai Yang caught the bottle, and Song Jie stepped back, waiting for what would happen next.
"This is the Sacred Spring!" Bai Yang was thrilled. Now that he had the Sacred Spring, these two were useless.
Song Jie watched Bai Yang's smile and curled his own lips slightly.
"Song Jie, thanks for retrieving the Sacred Spring. But now, you two can die!"
A cruel glint flashed in Bai Yang's eyes as he summoned several Black Beast Demons!
