Chapter 8 Black Church Attack

At midnight, the autumn atmosphere deepens.

On the top of the apartment building, a group of mysterious wizards wearing black cloaks gathered quietly.

The hazy moonlight fell on them, creating an indescribable mysterious atmosphere. If someone was nearby, they could smell an indescribable stench.

They whispered in the evening breeze, their words full of caution.

"Why are we here to capture a beginner mage?" one of the men in black asked in a very dissatisfied tone.

"That's right. A beginner wizard requires us in black to take action ourselves. In my opinion, it would be easiest to just kill him directly." Another man in black said angrily.

The remaining few men in black did not say anything, but it was not difficult to see from the expressions on their faces that they were deeply dissatisfied with this action.

They are the black priests. In a small place like Bo City, any one of them can slaughter the famous city monster hunting team.

So they are here to capture a wizard who just awakened a year ago?

"Shut up! This is an order issued by Grand Deacon Hu Jin. Do you want to resist the deacon?" The leading man in black glanced coldly and rebuked loudly.

"This……"

When the action was mentioned to be related to the deacon, everyone present immediately fell silent, not daring to show any displeasure.

I even began to pray silently in my heart, hoping that what I just said would not be heard by the deacon, otherwise I would end up in a terrible situation.

He is a blue-robed deacon, a symbol of not only strength but also status. He is the highest leader besides the cardinals and the pope.

They were just ordinary black-robed priests. There were countless black-robed priests like them in the Vatican. To the deacons, they were tools that could be crushed to death if they were not pleased.

If the deacon heard what they said just now, they would probably be thrown into the quenching pool, and their souls would be cursed and turned into ugly black beasts.

"We caught the other party, then what should we do? Kill him?" asked a man in black.

"We can't kill him. The Vatican's plan requires him. The deacon said that we must let him join our Vatican." The leading man in black said coldly.

"Although the Vatican's plan requires that kid, what should we do if he refuses to join the Vatican?" asked another man in black.

"He must join the Holy See. If he doesn't, let him die here tonight!"

The leading man in black had a fierce look in his eyes and his words were filled with the aura of death. The temperature around him seemed to drop a few degrees with these words.

In a dark corner that the man in black had not noticed, a figure stood silently on the top of a tall building, looking at the people below with cold eyes.

The shadowy force surrounding him cleverly concealed his existence, making the men in black completely unaware of anything unusual.

"Captain Hu Jin...that old fellow Mu He actually wants to attack me?" Xu Mu muttered in his heart.

He was confused and puzzled by the sudden attack of the Black Cultist. Why did Mu He attack him for no reason?

Xu Mu raised his head and looked at the system panel in front of him.

"You performed brilliantly in the magic test and successfully attracted everyone's attention. You were also targeted by the Black Church. Facing the Black Church's attack, you decided..."

As early as when the Black Church attacked, the system intervened quickly and provided options. He also used the Shadow Boots immediately and moved to the rooftop in order to observe the actions of the group of people in black.

Thanks to the system, otherwise he would be in trouble tonight.

"The Black Church's plan needs me. Could it be related to the Holy Spring?" Xu Mu fell into deep thought. These people mentioned the Church's plan just now.

If we talk about the Black Church's plan for Bo City, it is nothing more than wanting to destroy Bo City and obtain the Holy Spring that has been passed down in Bo City for thousands of years.

The Holy Spring opens once a year, with only one spot available each time, and is exclusively reserved for students who are about to enter the Magic University.

This spot is selected from three forces: the school, the family, and the alliance, and the participants need to engage in a magic duel to decide who will be the final winner.

In his senior year of high school, Yu Ang will compete as a representative of the family for the Di Sheng Spring spot.

On the surface, Yu Ang is Mu Zhuoyun's adopted son. He grew up in the Mu family and is a crazy cultivator. He is a good person, at least not a bad person, but this is only his superficial identity. In fact, Yu Ang's true identity is a believer of the Black Church. He was brought into the Mu family by Mu He, and the real purpose behind it was to seize the holy spring of Bo City.

It should be his performance in the magic test that caused Mu He's concern. The old man Mu He began to worry whether Yuang could successfully obtain a place to practice in the Holy Spring.

The Holy Earth Spring is extremely important to the Black Church. It is related to whether the future catastrophe of the ancient capital can break out smoothly.

As a member of Saran's team, Mu He could not tolerate any mistakes in the plan, so he decided to take action in advance to get rid of the troublesome Xu Mu.

"What an unexpected disaster! I didn't even think about competing for the Holy Spring." Xu Mu sighed. He was really unlucky tonight.

His goal is to break through to the middle level before the Bo City disaster arrives. Once the Holy Spring is opened, the Bo City disaster will also break out. Now that the disaster has broken out, what use is there for him to have the Holy Spring?
"Option 1: Accept baptism by the Church and submit to the Black Church"

"Option 2: The other side has more people and we can't defeat them. Find someone to deal with the Black Church."

"Option Three: I will not tolerate this any longer. I will kill the Black Church on the spot!"

The Black Church came with great force. There were ten priests in black alone, and the weakest among them had the strength of a beginner level three.

His own cultivation level is level two magic + triple power blessing. In terms of strength, it is not a problem for him to fight any one of them alone, but facing so many enemies, he is also powerless.

What's more, the Black Church also has demons such as the Black Beasts that it can control. Each black priest-level member can command at least five Black Beasts.

With ten men in black, he has to face at least fifty black beasts!
"Hiss~" Xu Mu's eyes widened and he couldn't help but gasp.

Fifty black beasts!!!

My goodness, even if he can kill a black beast with one thunder seal, he still has three times the magic energy capacity. Facing so many black beasts, he can't kill them all even if he drains all his magic energy.

"Choose two, find someone to rescue you."

So Xu Mu chose option 2 without hesitation.

Just when he wanted to seek help from the Magic Association and the Hunter Alliance, there was new movement from the Black Church. Xu Mu leaned against the wall and listened attentively.

"When will the action begin?"

"Be patient and wait. The Church has arranged an ambush in the old city. They will launch an attack there to distract the attention of the Magic Association and the Demon Hunting Team. Then, we can start our operation."

"..."

It must be said that although the Black Church is a group of beasts, doing evil things that are intolerable to heaven, they are not stupid at all. On the contrary, they are particularly vicious, full of vigilance everywhere, and are very cautious in every step.

Even if in their eyes, they were dealing with a beginner-level mage like him? They had made all the necessary preparations beforehand.

Not only did they send several black priests to capture him, but another wave of Black Church members launched an attack in the old city, attracting the attention of the Magic Association and the Demon Hunting Team.

Completely cut off the possibility of him waiting for rescue due to magic tools or other reasons.

"As expected of an old dog that has been hiding for decades, he is a real dog." Xu Mu complained.

Judging from the current situation, the Magic Association is unreliable, so it would be better to call an expert I know to come and help.

He quickly took out his cell phone, opened a chat room with a beautiful teacher, and sent an emergency message.

"Teacher Tang Yue, help me! The Black Church is hunting me! Come and save me!!!"

He also attached a real-time location sharing to ensure that Tang Yue could find his exact residence.

I just don’t know if Teacher Tang Yue has slept at this late hour.

"I hope Teacher Tang Yue doesn't have the habit of going to bed early." Xu Mu thought secretly in his heart.

Mu He, that bastard, even chose the dead of night as the time of attack. If Teacher Tang Yue fell asleep, he would have no choice but to run away.
