A Worthy Actor

The person who arrived was Zhu Meng, who had somewhat angered Tang Miao back in Hangzhou. Although he was somewhat annoyed with Zhu Meng, it was merely a private matter.

Moreover, Zhu Meng, as the member of parliament responsible for safety concerns, was not wrong in his intentions.

It can only be said that he had designs on his pet! That's why Tang Miao was unhappy with him. Besides, this guy is also a bit stupid; he'll take a knife if someone offers it to him!

Tang Miao said calmly, "Zhu Meng, this is the first time I've felt so happy to meet you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Meng was speechless...

He's a member of parliament, after all; how can this kid be so arrogant?

Despite his displeasure, he still owed a favor from Hangzhou, so he immediately said, "You brat, why aren't you cultivating in Magic Capital? What are you doing here? And what do you mean by saying you're happy to see me?"

"The Black Vatican!"

Upon hearing these three words, the two gatekeeper Imperial Mage and Zhu Meng were all taken aback.

Then, Tang Miao said, "Take us inside first. I need to see Han Ji, the president of the Bell Tower Magic Association."

Upon hearing the words "Black Vatican," Zhu Meng's expression immediately turned serious. He had absolutely no liking for these evildoers!

Given that Tang Miao had dealt with the Black Vatican several times in China, Zhu Meng was aware of it. Therefore, without any suspicion, he led Tang Miao and the other three, along with the unconscious Hong Jun, into the courtyard.

There were actually quite a few people in the courtyard, most of them hiding inside the houses. The beautiful courtyard was filled with boxes of medicine, leaving only a narrow path that people could barely walk through.

Tang Miao asked Zhu Meng to collect Hong Jun's blood, and Zhu Meng didn't hesitate. The matter was of utmost importance, and he couldn't worry about anything else. Moreover, and most importantly, Tang Miao stated that if this person wasn't a lackey of the Black Vatican, he would take full responsibility!

After arranging things for Hong Jun, before the group even entered the house, an elderly man with black hair slowly walked out.

Zhu Meng looked at Tang Miao, pointed to the old man, and introduced him, "This is Chairman Han Ji. Tell me what you know."

Tang Miao didn't speak, but instead looked at Zhang Xiaohou, who was still showing off next to Mo Fan, and said, "Zhang Xiaohou, go to the president and tell him what you know."

Zhang Xiaohou was taken aback; his previously dull eyes had somehow regained some of their sparkle?

"How... how did you know?!" Zhang Xiaohou asked, somewhat puzzled, looking at Tang Miao.

"I previously attacked a group of Black Vatican members, and according to them, they were looking for you. Moreover, it's said that you have their people with you. I think if they're looking for you, it means you must know something!"

"But you've been infected with a brain Forget Worm, which is why I brought you here. Because, apart from President Han Ji, there's probably no one else who can save you," Tang Miao said, making things up.

Upon hearing this, Han Ji, the president of the Magic Association, had a flash in his eyes. He quickly stepped forward, grabbed Zhang Xiaohou's wrist, and swiftly tore open his sleeve!

In an instant, a black, centipede-like mark appeared on Zhang Xiaohou's arm, looking as if it were embedded in his flesh, and was extremely grotesque.

"It really is Forget Worm!?"

Han Ji exclaimed in surprise!

The girl named Su Xiaoluo and Mo Fan were also stunned. They hadn't even noticed that there was such a black centipede inside Zhang Xiaohou's body. This black centipede had been lurking for who knows how long, and it was already as thick as a thumb. How terrifying it must be for such a thing to be inside a human body!

Zhang Xiaohou, as if struck by a sudden thought, exclaimed, "It's Mu He, and... ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, his whole body suddenly began to tremble violently, followed by a splitting pain in his head!

Zhang Xiaohou appeared to be in great pain, biting his lips until they bled.

At this moment, a milky white light emanated from Han Ji's body, and a Healing Spirit Butterfly with extremely full wings could be seen fluttering on his withered fingertips. With a gentle push from Han Ji, the Healing Spirit Butterfly floated into Zhang Xiaohou's body and collided with the astonishing black poison centipede.

Zhang Xiaohou's skin was almost transparent, and a venomous thread, like a worm's silk, stretched from his wrist to his shoulder, then to the back of his neck, and finally disappeared into the back of his head...

Zhang Xiaohou seemed to have heard some important news, but because of the Forget Worm, the harder he tried to think about it, the more his head throbbed with pain...

Han Ji hurriedly said, "Stop right now, you'll die if you do this!"

Zhang Xiaohou showed no sign of stopping. His eyes red-rimmed, he gritted his teeth and uttered a few words: "Rain! Black Vatican! Sha Yuan! Salang... City! Undead..."

"Stop right now, or you'll be dead!!" Han Ji roared.

Although this information is important, if this kid continues talking now, he'll be dead!

Zhang Xiaohou's memories of encountering the Ax-wielding Corpse General were flooding back, like a long-forgotten dream about to be triggered. But the deeper he thought about it, the more his head felt like it was going to explode!

"Bang!"

Seeing that he had said enough, Tang Miao knocked him unconscious with a chop to the neck.

This kid is pretty good; it's his turn to perform next. After all, we can't let him just sit there and do nothing.

An Imperial Mage entered and reported, "Reporting to the guild master, Hong Jun does indeed have the Black Vatican's..."

Zhu Meng looked at Tang Miao and praised him with delight, "You did a great job! All of us, from various factions, were completely unaware of the Black Vatican's actions, yet you managed to uncover so much."

As he spoke, Zhu Meng suddenly fell silent, because he noticed that Tang Miao showed no excitement whatsoever; instead, she appeared completely indifferent.

Similarly, Han Ji and Mo Fan also noticed that Tang Miao's expression was somewhat serious.

At this moment, Tang Miao began his performance, saying anxiously, "If I'm not mistaken, the Black Vatican intends to use the Sha Yuan to destroy this Ancient Capital!"

Seeing his silence, the others all looked at him. This sudden remark was quite startling!

Whether it was Han Ji or Zhu Meng, two high-ranking figures, or Mo Fan... Jie couldn't believe it.

Tang Miao turned to look at Mo Fan and then said, "Do you remember what happened in Bo City? Back then, the Black Vatican used heavy rain to make the Demon Wolf Clan go berserk before attacking the city. And now, there's another continuous downpour. What does that mean?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Fan's legs went weak, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Han Ji asked, somewhat puzzled, "But the undead aren't Demon Beast. They retreat underground during the day. With our defensive strength, it shouldn't be difficult to hold them off for one night."

"What if this rain also makes the undead immune to day and night? If so, then when a large number of undead attack from all directions, can the Ancient Capital still withstand it?"

Tang Miao chose not to reveal the more terrifying matter of the Sha Yuan, but it was better to reveal some things that needed to be said first.

Then he added, "Moreover, I heard from that group of people that Salang is actually infiltrating the upper echelons of the Ancient Capital. At first, I couldn't believe it, but you should have heard it just now, right? Salang... inside the city! Zhang Xiaohou desperately wanted to say it, isn't that clear enough?"

"How is this possible..." President Han Ji shook his head in disbelief and muttered.

To be honest, if that's really the case, then the Black Vatican's infiltration capabilities are simply terrifying.

At the same time, one of Han Ji's mysterious gray-haired subordinates suddenly appeared here.

After glancing at Tang Miao, he looked at Han Ji and said, "What he said is true. My subordinates sent me a message saying that Salang is in the city, and he's one of the high-ranking officials."

Han Ji clenched his fists, somewhat angry but also helpless, yet he still asked, "Is this news reliable?"
