Versatile Mage

ce to stop Wu Ku and Salan right away.
Otherwise, things would be unpredictable once he showed up in a city in his demon form.

The odds were six to one.

Salan was forcing Mo Fan to gamble!

The Head Priest was very important to Salan or she would never have taken such a risk!

She was still bold enough to take the gamble.

One out of six.
If Mo Fan was blessed by the Heavens, he would end up making the right choice, and it would be Salan’s end.
All her ambitions would be in vain because of a single mistake.

If Mo Fan made the wrong choice, she would be able to save Wu Ku’s life.
She would not have to look for a new Head Priest.

Wu Ku had to live at all costs.
He was the most important part of her plan!

She could afford to lose the Evil Herbalist and the Chief Extraditor, but not Wu Ku!

—

Walking down a crowded street, Salan threw her raincoat away and picked up an ordinary brown umbrella.

Wu Ku draped a half-transparent raincoat over his shoulders to cover his miserable appearance and the smell of mud.
It was a normal raincoat sold by every stall along the road.

The two were walking at a steady pace through the rain.
There were tall buildings and pedestrians around them.

Wu Ku shivered as he kept walking.

It was his first time being that close to death.
He was panicking more than when he had been surrounded by Mo Fan, Mu Bai, and Zhao Manyan together.

He never knew Mo Fan had such an ability! Even if he had used his Innate Talent, Mo Fan could still kill him with ease!

“Is he coming after us?” Wu Ku asked nervously.

“He made the wrong choice,” Salan replied stiffly.

“It seems like we are still blessed by the Heavens,” Wu Ku smiled weakly.

“The Heavens never bless anyone.
It was just a matter of probability.
Picking the right Teleportation Portal had nothing to do with the Heavens,” Salan corrected him coldly.

“Either way, we are safe now.
It’s good to be alive,” Wu Ku smiled.

“The only reason I saved you is because you didn’t use your Innate Talent,” Salan stated icily.

“My Innate Talent is the only thing that is valuable to you.
I’d keep it even if they were going to kill me, but Blue Bat…” Wu Ku said.

“She won’t live,” Salan declared grimly.

“Does that mean our plan to destroy the Aorus Sacred Institute is going to fail?” Wu Ku had to ask.

“It’s the price you pay for making a mistake.”

“You are so optimistic about it.”

Salan glanced at Wu Ku stonily.
The man did not dare utter any more nonsense.

“Ask the Chief Extraditor to erase every trace of my false identity, the abandoned church, the Ninth Mound, and Blue Bat.
Abandon those we should,” Salan ordered him.

“Yes, I’m on it.
The branch we’ve put in so much effort into is gone.
We’ve been exposed too much this time.
You even gave up the abandoned church to save me, but don’t you worry, I’ll make up for it,” Wu Ku sighed.

Wu Ku bowed to express his resentment and determination.

He did not get a response from Salan after a long time.

He scratched his head and lifted his gaze, only then realizing the Red Cardinal was nowhere to be seen.

She was like an ordinary woman, blending in with the city.
It would be difficult to track her down.

Ding dang…

A few coins were thrown in front of Wu Ku.

Wu Ku looked at the pedestrian who had given him the coins helplessly.

Fine, he had disguised himself perfectly as a beggar.

Wu Ku picked up the coins and thanked the fellow sincerely.
He even blessed the man for his kind act.
