Chapter 181 Internal strife
"Always thinking of running away?" Zhu Meng looked at the Totem Thunder Leopard in confusion, and said, "I thought all Totem Beasts were like the Black Snake in Hangzhou, with a strong character. I didn't expect there were timid Totem Beasts."

"I didn't expect there would be such a cowardly totem beast." Xu Mu responded while turning his head to comfort the grumpy totem thunder leopard beside him. This guy really can't stand any bad words.

"Do you have any idea who might be Saran?" After pacifying the totem thunder leopard, Xu Mu asked Zhu Meng.

"Yes, but it seems not." Zhu Meng shook his head. There are more than a dozen super-class wizards imprisoned, and any one of them could be Saran. From his point of view, every one of them could be Saran.

"Mu He has met Saran, and he knows who Saran is." Xu Mu said.

"But he won't tell us." Zhu Meng replied.

"I know, but, Zhu Meng, have you noticed that Mu He has lived in Bo City for a long time..." Xu Mu continued.

"You mean...Sarang has been to Bo City a long time ago?!" Zhu Meng seemed to realize something.

"Yes, this happened at least a dozen years ago. Although there are more than a dozen super-class mages who may be Saran, it is impossible for everyone to have been to Bo City."

"At least, you have never been to Bo City." Xu Mu analyzed.

"All those suspected of being Saran are super-class mages, and their whereabouts are erratic." Hunting King Du Xiao walked up to Xu Mu and Zhu Meng and said:
"And Bo City is not a remote place. With my minor in summoning magic, I can definitely go back and forth to Bo City to meet Mu He within a day, and then fly back to the Magic City on the same day."

"It is almost impossible to rule out someone who is not Saran by this method. It can even be said that it does not work at all." Du Xiao continued, with a hint of helplessness in his voice.
"We may... only have the choice of releasing Saran, and then heading to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to seal the ancient king. As for Saran... we can only let him go for now."

Du Xiao took a deep breath, clenched and unclenched his fists, and finally stretched them out weakly.

Cardinal Salan, a dangerous man known in history as the most talented criminal, leads to the death of countless innocent lives every time he appears and every action he takes.

The millions of lives in the ancient capital, plus the dozen super-class wizards present, are not even a fraction of the souls in Saran's hands.

This is also why the Supreme Magic Association asked Han Ji to carry out the Guillotine Plan!
Because as long as Saran is alive, the damage caused in the future will only be greater, which will far exceed the loss of millions of lives.

This world is full of cruelty and struggle, with wars everywhere. These struggles and wars often involve the sacrifice of a few for the survival of the majority.

Whether it is protecting the security of a city or a country, such a mission is often accompanied by blood and sacrifice.

There is no peace without a price...

In order to confirm that Saran is among them, the Inquisition and the Magic Association have paid the price of countless lives.

Now, the Supreme Magic Association intends to put an end to Saran, which may require sacrificing a dozen super-class wizards, and may even implicate millions of residents in the inner city of the ancient capital, in exchange for Saran's life.

But if releasing Saran can save the millions of inner city residents, they must choose to release Saran, even if it may cause Saran to create a greater disaster in the future. "It's almost dusk, and you don't seem to be planning to reveal the location of Qin Shihuang's tomb." Zhu Meng looked up at the setting sun that was about to sink into the horizon, his eyes fixed on Mu He.

"You never intended to tell us where Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum is from the beginning. No, you don't even know the exact location of Qin Shi Huang's Mausoleum. Everything you did was just a delaying tactic to buy time!"

"You plan to wait until night falls, until the entire kingdom of the dead launches an attack on the security barrier, and then take advantage of the chaos to escape with Saran!"

"President Han Ji!" Zhu Meng suddenly turned around and looked at Han Ji with a hint of pity, "We have no time to waste. Once night falls, the ancient capital... I'm afraid it will really be doomed to destruction."

Although the Nine Nether Dew can allow the undead to appear in the daytime, in fact, the daytime when the death energy cannot condense still imposes certain restrictions on their movements.

Once night falls, the undead will become more violent and unpredictable!

"Royal Guard Mage, execute the Guillotine Plan." President Han Ji knew that once night fell, the Kingdom of the Undead would fully demonstrate its true power.

By then, even if Qin Shihuang's tomb was found, it would not be possible to prevent the destruction of the ancient city.

"Since we can't save this ancient city, let Saran be buried with these millions of innocent people, even if the price is to sacrifice all our super-class mages." Han Ji's voice was filled with grief.

"Lu Huan, kill all the super-class mages together, leaving no one alive!" Han Ji gave the order, his voice full of determination.

As soon as he finished speaking, the man in the purple-gold robe rose into the air without hesitation, and the super-class water magic Star Palace took shape in an instant. It was obvious that he had mastered the secret of the One Thought Star Palace!

As he cast the spell, countless water elements began to gather above the courtyard. They rolled and converged, eventually forming deep blue waves. White waves rolled across the sky, making a deafening whistle.

This is the super-level water magic - Sea Emperor's Water Roar!
"Damn it, with such a large range, we will die too, Xu Mu, you guy, look at what you have done!" The demon man couldn't help but complain loudly.

Originally, Lu Huan, as the chief of the royal guards and the strongest combat mage in the ancient capital, should have been guarding the inner city wall to prevent attacks from the Lord of the Underworld.

However, due to the joint attack by Xu Mu and the Totem Thunder Leopard, the Lord of the Underworld was injured and fled. Now he is hiding farther than the mountain, so there is no need for special precautions anymore.

Seeing this situation, President Han Ji temporarily transferred Lu Huan to provide support just in case.

"Damn, someone praised me for a good job before, why did you change your mind now? Your attitude changes so quickly." Xu Mu rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction.

He quickly directed the Totem Thunder Leopard beside him, "Did you see that old woman? Use the same move you used to spit out the Underworld Lord before on her seventy or eighty times, so that she can have a taste of thunder and lightning!"

The Totem Thunder Leopard was watching on the side in amazement. It had only taken a short nap, so why did the humans suddenly start killing each other?
After hearing Xu Mu's instructions, although it was still in a confused state, it subconsciously condensed black lightning in its mouth, forming a black lightning ball and blasted towards Lingxi.
