Full-Time Magister: Throne of Dimensions

Chapter 156 Let's turn the tide!

He didn't understand why the king was so insistent, which resulted in the vast empire being without a leader and scattered across various regions.

"It's really tough." Lord Wu'an sighed. The king's restrictions were still as severe as they had been back then.

He went back to his old nest and needed to sleep for a while, otherwise he might get stabbed in the back.

Huh? Where did this guy go? "Nine Infants is wandering around Bai Laoda's palace. He came here to destroy Bai Laoda, but now he is the only one in the palace."

The white-robed general was nowhere to be found, which puzzled him. Everyone could sense when the white-robed general and Lord Wu'an left the palace, so it was clear they hadn't left. But now he couldn't find them here.

"There shouldn't be any place to hide in the palace, right?" Jiuying tapped on the wall but felt nothing.

This is really strange; it shouldn't be like this. I don't remember anything like this ever happening.

Jiuying had been here more than a decade ago, but the time was not right and he returned empty-handed. Now that the ancient tomb has appeared, the time is ripe.

This is the best time to retrieve the item, avoiding most trouble. The only things to watch out for are the two prison guards and the Nine Netherworld Queen who roams the world.

But now—

"If we can't kill those two prison chiefs, we can't get anything done." "Forget it, let's look again." Jiuying began to re-examine the palace. Suddenly, a fireball flew from behind him.

Jiuying possesses powerful sensory abilities. He had already sensed the fireball and dodged it just as it was about to hit him.

The fireball exploded on the wall, but did not harm Jiuying in the slightest.

"Found you, Jiuying!" At the palace gate, Jiang Shaotian and Xu Sheng stood there.

The others have already left; their magical abilities are not suited for this battle. They are better suited to rescuing others than staying here.

The restriction on his musical system prevented Jiang Shaotian from telling others the truth, and even if he did, most people wouldn't believe him.

Although they haven't spent much time outside, here it's all measured in years. They've all been subtly influenced. Jiang Shaoxu and the others also need to form groups when they go out, otherwise they're easily targeted, especially considering that it's only five points compared to a high-level mage.

It's easier for intermediate-level mages to obtain three or four points.

"Are you two crazy? I saw you were busy!" Jiuying said impatiently. He was already in a bad mood because the white-robed corpse general had disappeared, and these two were coming to cause trouble.

He, as a cardinal, really did very little; all sorts of Tom, Dick, and Harry would meddle.

"Nine Infants, there are no flying beasts here, nor are there any people from your Black Church to help you. In the end, you, Nine Infants, are just a lone commander. Your power in the Black Church was never that great to begin with. And who do you think is the prey now?" Xu Sheng grinned.

"We know your abilities very well, Jiuying. You don't have strong magical cultivation. You've always relied on external forces. What use are you without external forces?" Jiang Shaotian took a step forward.

"This is your grave." In the ancient tomb, Jiuying had no help; this was the best execution platform.

"Is that so? Who's the fish on the chopping block? I'm looking forward to your struggle, Jiang Shaotian," Jiu Ying laughed.

Seeing that smile, Jiang Shaotian felt something was wrong. It was clearly a dead end. Jiuying couldn't possibly be unaware of his strength. He couldn't possibly contend with him on his own, let alone with Xu Sheng beside him, who was also a ruthless person with full cultivation at the super level.

Xu Sheng is still a high-ranking member of the Magic Association, and he runs a branch in the capital.

His purpose in coming to the ancient capital was very clear: the Yin side of the imperial capital was very angry about the reappearance of Jiuying and wanted to completely destroy it.

Xu Sheng entered the ancient tomb because of information about the Nine-Headed Serpent. The same applies to their military region. Jiang Shaotian is their representative, representing the military, while Xu Sheng represents the Magic Association. As for the Hunter Alliance, there is no one there.

They are a multinational organization and don't have much hatred for the Nine-Headed Serpent. Even if someone wants to get involved, the other high-ranking members will organize it. The procedures are very complicated. Someone from the Hunter Alliance will come, but it will be much later in the evening.

Since no one is around, what about the Nine-Headed Serpent?

No, wait, he just...

boom!!!

Farewell, Jiang Shaotian! Xu Sheng placed his hand on Jiang Shaotian's shoulder. Xu Sheng was already a fully-trained Super-Rank Mage, and his skill was extremely high. He was almost unmatched among Super-Rank mages.

His control over elemental forces was unparalleled; he didn't need a vast amount of magic, just a simple fireball could produce astonishing power.

Xu Sheng majored in fire-based magic. His fire was celestial fire, a peerless flame he brought back from his trip to the island nation, which was enough to rank among the top five fires in the world.

It will not disappear until the enemy is completely burned away. The hottest flame of all, Amaterasu Black Flame, has an astonishing twelve times the fire power.

Rumble!!!

A small ball of black flames suddenly erupted, right behind Jiang Shaotian. Xu Sheng had not shown any aggression before, and had even been confronting Jiuying with Jiang Shaotian. Jiang Shaotian had not expected that Xu Sheng might betray him.

Caught off guard, Jiang Shaotian had no time to react and was hit by the explosion, slamming him against the wall, causing the palace to tremble.

"Xu Sheng, try not to play for too long. I'll need your help after I find the White-Robed Corpse General." Jiu Ying had no interest in Jiang Shaotian's life or death; he continued searching for the White-Robed Corpse General within the palace.

"Understood, Boss Jiuying." Xu Sheng chuckled, a maniacal smile spreading across his face.

He did want to kill Jiuying before, but that was because his memories were always incomplete and wrong. And all of that was because of the Forgotten Worm. He had been buried in the Magic Association for a long time. More than ten years ago, he was just an ordinary mage who entered the Magic Association and got to where he is now.

Because of the disappearance of the Nine-Headed Serpent, he never regained his memories and always thought he was a good person. He also contributed greatly to the extermination of the Black Vatican, but just now he regained his memories.

Because of Jiuying, he regained his previous memories.

Compared to before, Xu Sheng was like a completely different person. This was the power of the Forgetfulness Insect, which was enough to change the beliefs of a person with a strong will in just a moment.

"What's wrong?" Mu Ganjin walked over to Jiang Shaoxu and asked. He, Jiang Shaoxu, and Wu Zong Mu Bai formed a team. The three of them were mid-level mages, while Wu Zhong was a super-level mage, so he could take better care of them.

Seeing that Jiang Shaoxu was acting strangely, they all gathered around.

"I...I feel like something terrible is about to happen." Jiang Shaoxu's voice trembled slightly. She didn't know what was going to happen, but she just had this feeling, a sixth sense.

Jiang Shaoxu looked back at the vast palace of Bai Lao, feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart, as if she were about to lose something very important.
