Chapter 180 Heading to the Ancient Capital
Zhang Xiaohou's breakthrough still failed, so he had no choice but to go to the ancient capital to carry out the mission with the full intermediate level of cultivation.

However, a high-level wizard who has broken through to a high level of cultivation, even one who cannot cast high-level magic independently, cannot be compared with an ordinary mid-level wizard. The treatment is not a world of difference, but it can be said to be very different.

This time, Zhang Xiaohou was going to several dangerous villages outside the ancient capital to investigate some intelligence. If he could break through to a high level, he could serve as the team leader, but as he was only at a mid-level, he could only serve as the deputy to another military mage who had broken through to a high level.

Although the team leader was thinking about how to complete the task faster and better, he was still too impatient. Coupled with bad luck, they encountered the gradually active undead on their first overnight journey.

The team leader fought until his magic power was exhausted, but he still failed to lead his team members out of the encirclement of the undead. In desperation, he had to announce the order for each of them to break out, and then used himself as bait to attract the attention of the undead for his team members.

In the end, there was no news from the entire military magician team, and no one knew whether they were wiped out. The military had no choice but to issue an obituary to the families of all the team members.

Zhang Xiaohou's only relative is his grandmother, who he depends on for everything. Although she luckily survived the disaster in Bo City, considering that she was too old, the obituary was sent to the mobile phone of He Yu who was on a mission in Shanghai.

The moment He Yu saw the text message, she felt like the sky was falling. She almost fainted at that moment, but she still suppressed her grief and called Xu Fan.

"The monkey went to the ancient capital, right? I'm going to the ancient capital to find him! Even if he turns into a ghost, I will bring him back to see you!"

Xu Fan's face was solemn and he spoke very seriously. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the ancient capital. Zhang Xiaohou's strength had been strengthened several times compared to before, so his hope of survival should be much greater.

Now Xu Fan was only worried about one thing, that is, Zhang Xiaohou would be targeted because of his strong strength and unfortunately die.

Mo Fan heard the entire conversation between Xu Fan and He Yu. He was much more anxious than Xu Fan. While Xu Fan was making proper arrangements, Mo Fan was already booking the plane ticket.

Perhaps because of Xu Fan's calmness, Mo Fan also calmed down quickly. There was still some time before the plane took off, so he told Zhou Min about this matter. However, the ancient capital was still too dangerous, so he did not plan to take Zhou Min with him.

Xu Fan only told Tang Yue and other girls about this matter, and he didn't even plan to bring Mu Nujiao who was beside him. The turmoil in the ancient capital was too big, and it was not something they could easily participate in.

However, Xu Fan brought a phone call to Mu Ningxue who was far away in the imperial capital. When he was in Bo City, Mu He was saved by Saran. This time, even if Saran showed up again to protect Mu He, Xu Fan would never let Mu He live again.

The best candidate to kill Mu He is Mu Ningxue from the Mu family, who was implicated by him!
At the same time as receiving the obituary, He Yu also received a notice to terminate her mission. After calling Xu Fan, she also booked the earliest flight. She must go to the ancient capital!

Then He Yu met Xu Fan and Mo Fan at the airport. When they saw He Yu, Xu Fan and Mo Fan looked at each other and fell silent. Neither of them could say anything to ask He Yu to stay in the ancient capital and wait for their news.

"Take her with you! Even if it costs your life, you must keep her safe!"

Xu Fan and Mo Fan's eyes met, and they read the same thing from each other's eyes.

The three of them boarded the plane to the ancient capital with great worries. At this time, the ancient capital seemed to have become the focus of the world, and many people cast their eyes on the abnormal ancient capital. "What! Zhang Xiaohou died! Damn it! I must find him back!"

Zhan Kong also received the report about Zhang Xiaohou's team. He was even more heartbroken. He had come to the ancient capital specifically because of Xu Fan in order to find a way to take care of Zhang Xiaohou.

Even Zhang Xiaohou's mission had been reviewed by him, but he did not find anything unusual in it. However, it was such a seemingly harmless mission that put Zhang Xiaohou in the greatest danger.

Zhan Kong, who was filled with self-blame, resolutely rushed into the outskirts of the ancient capital despite the dissuasion of his subordinates and the scolding of his superiors. In his heart, he had the same belief as Xu Fan.

If Zhang Xiaohou is alive, bring him here. If Zhang Xiaohou unfortunately dies, send his body back to Bo City!

Xu Fan, Mo Fan and He Yu had just got off the plane when they were greeted by Wang Luffy, whom they had met a few times before. However, the mid-level wizard at that time still could not break through to the high level.

Zhan Kong knew very well that if something happened to Zhang Xiaohou, Xu Fan and Mo Fan’s reactions would definitely not be any less than his own, so his only arrangement was to let Wang Luffy come and stop the two from being impulsive, but Wang Luffy, who was only at the intermediate level, obviously failed.

When Mo Fan boarded the plane to the ancient capital, Zhao Chenying, who was with her grandmother Yan, looked hesitantly in the direction of the ancient capital. She also received a text message from Mo Fan.

Although Mo Fan did not explicitly say what he was going to do, Zhao Chenying still felt something was wrong.

"If you want to go, go ahead. When you come back, let him and Feng'er come to see me together!"

Yan's eyes were deep as she gently patted her granddaughter's shoulder. She really wanted to meet Mo Fan, who had kidnapped her daughter and was now trying to kidnap her granddaughter.

"I know! I will definitely bring him back!"

Zhao Chenying seemed to have gained courage from her grandmother. She slowly stood up and rushed towards the airport without looking back.

Mu Ningxue in the imperial capital also directly abandoned the ongoing national government selection competition after receiving Xu Fan's call, but her behavior created an opportunity for Mu Tingying.

Normally, Mu Ningxue would not be able to join the National Team if she did not participate in the final selection, but given her strength, the National Team would never give up on Mu Ningxue.

After some operations, Mu Ningxue, who finally gave up the National Team Trials, could only join the National Team as a substitute player, while Mu Tingying entered the ranks of the regular players with the help of Mu's background.

Mu Ningxue didn't know about this, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. Xu Fan's arrangement was much more important than a mere starting spot!
After arriving at the ancient capital, Xu Fan and his companions went their separate ways to gather intelligence. He Yu naturally went to the military headquarters to obtain the route of Zhang Xiaohou's mission, while Xu Fan and Mo Fan found a local tyrant.

Although they are high-level wizards, they cannot rescue Zhang Xiaohou by violence alone. Xu Fan knows very well that the real obstacle in this journey is the Black Church hidden in the dark, to be precise, it is Cardinal Saran!
