Black blood slowly came out of Ge Ming’s mouth. Either his cultivation was stronger, or because he did not contract much poison, his symptoms were not as ridiculous as the rest of the victims.

It’s…it’s my turn,
Ge Ming tried very hard to utter the words. His face was filled with pain and helplessness.
It was finally his turn to pay the price for his reckless operation. When the poison struck the first time, Ge Ming already knew things were getting out of hand. He did not expect the Black Vatican’s methods to be so frightening, so much scarier than he had imagined, to the extent that even a powerful Advanced Magician like him had no chance of escaping.



Leader!


Leader, you can’t die!


Quick, call Gray Hand!


It’s useless, the Healing Magic is useless against it.

The members of the Golden Battle Hunters gathered around their leader in fear and shock.
Even their leader Ge Ming, the strongest among them, had fallen victim to the poison. How could the rest of them survive?
The poison had thoroughly shattered their line of defense in their hearts. They fell hopelessly to the ground with blank looks in their eyes, not knowing what to do anymore.

I told you, we shouldn’t bother taking on those demons. It wouldn’t have come to this if you listened to me!
said Sun Rong.

Who is the asshole that set us up by giving us false information? If we managed to survive this, I swear I’ll tear him into pieces!
yelled another Hunter furiously.

Enough!
snapped Pan Jin.


Pan Jin clenched his fists once again, his eyes were full of red lines.
It was meaningless to abandon themselves to despair, as it would not help anyone survive in the current situation. Even their leader was trying to keep himself together after he was poisoned. It simply meant they had to rely on themselves!

What’s the point of venting our frustration on one another? Our enemy is the Black Vatican. If we are going to die either way, we might as well try looking for the members of the Black Vatican, and kill as many as we can. Otherwise, we are just a bunch of idiots that they played like a damn fiddle!
said Pan Jin.

Captain is right. If we keep condemning one another here, none of us will survive until the end. The people of the Black Vatican must be hiding somewhere in these ranches. There are lots of places that we haven’t searched yet. Leave a few people behind to maintain the order. The rest of you, turn this place upside down. I won’t believe that we are unable to find the Black Vatican’s vest!
exclaimed another captain of the Golden Battle Hunters, Hou Ting.

Everyone, stick with your team. Don’t move on your own. Report in if you find anything suspicious. Don’t turn around even if someone is poisoned!

Pan Jin realized that they could not stay here and wait for their death any longer; even their leader had contracted the poison. They had to make a move.

The remaining members of the Golden Battle Hunters soon split into several teams and conducted a blanket search around the ranches.
The people of the Black Vatican had most likely anticipated that the Golden Battle Hunters were determined to break the cauldrons and sink the boats when the poison struck again. Those who were hiding among the ordinary people immediately reported back to their base, updating them with the latest situation.

Liu Pingsheng, who are you talking to?
a cleaning staff turned around looking at a yellow-faced man and asked.



No one, I was praying,
answered the man.

What are you holding in your hand?
The cleaner took a closer look and snatched the thing from his hand.
It was a black communication device. He could even hear some sounds coming from the other end.
Three members of the Golden Battle Hunters in charge of the area immediately noticed them. They quickly approached the man called Liu Pingsheng.

It’s the Black Vatican’s communication device. He must be telling them what we were up to!
The three Hunters were overjoyed. They immediately placed Liu Pingsheng in custody.
Liu Pingsheng realized that his identity had been compromised. He immediately summoned his Dark Beast Monsters to help him escape.
Unfortunately, one of the three Hunters was an Intermediate Magician. The Dark Beast Monsters did not pose any threat to him.
Liu Pingsheng’s attempt to summon the Dark Beast Monsters totally exposed his identity. The people in the hall immediately backed away to the other side. However, the three Hunters were able to move quickly and detain the disciple of the Black Vatican.
The Intermediate Magician immediately contacted Captain Pan Jin.
Captain, we found a disciple here. He has their communication device, and he’s able to summon the Dark Beast Monsters!


Well done, that’s the spirit. Everyone, keep it up! We can’t let the Black Vatican treat us like fools and slaughter us as they wish. We must avenge our fallen comrades!
said Pan Jin.


Morale was definitely something they desperately needed in the current circumstances. If they continued to hide in fear like a herd of lambs, they would eventually be slaughtered one by one. However, if they were able to work together and ram down the fences, even the strength of a herd of lambs was not to be underestimated!

There’s an orange building there. We haven’t searched the place thoroughly yet!
Sun Rong pointed into the distance.

Let’s take a look!
Pan Jin nodded. He brought a group of men and headed for the orange building.

The Slanted Hall in the orange building…
Blue Deacon Fang Shaoli was sitting on a blood-red chair, her slender legs slightly lifted. A pair of heels over ten centimeters tall was standing on the shiny floor. It felt like they were about to pierce through the ground.
Priests in gray outfits were kneeling before her feet in a row, including Li Kai and Lu Geng, whose status was slightly higher than the others.
Behind the Gray Priests were five rows of disciples in black outfits. Everyone that came into the hall had to wear their outfit, as it would make it easier to identify them and allocate tasks.
Fang Shaoli placed a finger beside her purple-red lips. An azure blue robe was covering her, but it seemed like she was not wearing anything under the robe. Her alluring physique was faintly discernible through the robe.

It seems like we’ve forced the little lambs into a corner. Well, even rabbits will bite when they start to panic, let alone a bunch of filthy, incompetent humans?
Fang Shaoli said with a smile. She was not too bothered by the counterattack of her enemy.



The people of the Enforcement Union have reached the island. They will be here any time. I’m afraid Night Hawk is the one leading them… he’s the one that wiped out all our people in the Magic City!
said Gray Priest Lu Geng.

Is that so? I do miss him. When he arrives, I should present him with a huge gift, hahaha!…

The other priests burst into laughter when they heard Fang Shaoli laugh. However, the disciples who were clueless about the details of the plan had no choice but to laugh while being utterly confused.
A huge gift? For the Enforcement Union?
