Chapter 197 Mu He's Plan
In fact, Mu He had the opportunity to kill Zhang Xiaohou, but he stopped at the last moment. However, it was not because he was soft-hearted, but because he planned to use Zhang Xiaohou.
Although he firmly believed that Saran's deification ceremony would end perfectly, Mu He actually knew that it would be difficult for him to escape again since his identity had been exposed.
Saran's real plan is to lure out the ancient undead king hidden in the Abyss. Only in this way can he completely surpass the little monarch that once appeared in Bo City.
The military naturally cannot allow the ancient emperor to expand the territory of the Undead Empire, and a war is inevitable. The military will definitely have forbidden spell-level mages rushing to the ancient capital battlefield.
Only Saran's name was deliberately revealed so that he could escape even if something unexpected happened, but Mu He was exposed completely. By that time, he would probably have no way out.
By that time, Zhang Xiaohou would be his last bargaining chip. Mu He believed that as long as he could save his life, Saran would definitely rescue him!
He, the Great Deacon of Hu Jin, is worthy of this!
The reason for using the forget bug to store Zhang Xiaohou's memory was to prevent the military from noticing the problems in Sha Yuan in advance. After all, Zhang Xiaohou saw him walk out of the hellish Sha Yuan with his own eyes.
When Xu Fan saw Zhang Xiaohou for the first time, he noticed the white worm-shaped soul on his arm.
Xu Fan immediately thought that Zhang Xiaohou might have been infected with the forgetfulness bug, so Xu Fan pretended to attack Zhang Xiaohou and killed the forgetfulness bug directly.
The Fiery Blood Flowing Spear in Xu Fan's hand was both a weapon and a magic wand. It pierced through Zhang Xiaohou's arm and Wang Chong's body at the same time. Then a flash of golden light and a purifying light bloomed in Wang Chong's body at the same time.
The forget-me-not worm instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. In fact, this forget-me-not worm is not a real living being. It is essentially a curse. Otherwise, Zhang Xiaohou would have to suffer a lot to dig the forget-me-not worm out.
As soon as the forget-worm died, Zhang Xiaohou immediately felt a severe headache, but the pain was fleeting, and a large number of memories appeared in Zhang Xiaohou's mind.
“Not good! The Black Church’s goal is to bring the Abyss of Evil into the Ancient Capital and let the Lord of the Undead destroy the Ancient Capital!”
Zhang Xiaohou half-knelt on the ground in pain, holding his head tightly with both hands, but the first thing he did was to reveal the information he had collected.
Zhang Xiaohou is a very smart person. Although he did not recognize that the man with the gun was Xu Fan, he helped him solve the hidden danger, so he could not be a completely hostile person.
Zhang Xiaohou was not sure whether he could return to the ancient capital, but he hoped that this person could help him pass on the information.
"Is there any way to prevent Sha Yuan from entering the ancient capital?"
Xu Fan put away the gun, walked to Zhang Xiaohou, helped him up and asked.
"Brother Xu!"
Zhang Xiaohou said excitedly, his eyes turned red for a moment. He suddenly felt like he had survived a disaster, as if with Xu Fan's arrival, he was safe, and the rest of the journey would be peaceful.
"What do you see?"
While Xu Fan was treating Zhang Xiaohou with healing spells, he was also trying to find out about Zhang Xiaohou's experience.
"It's the Devil's Abyss, it's Mu He. Mu He can actually enter and exit the Devil's Abyss freely. It was an undead lord who sent him out of the Devil's Abyss..."
Zhang Xiaohou slumped on the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead due to the pain and spoke slowly, while Xu Fan also listened to him carefully.
Although he didn't know how Mu He reached a deal with the Undead Lord, Xu Fan could roughly guess that it was probably related to the armor of the ancient king at the bottom of the Evil Abyss.
Now what many undead monarchs desire most is the reappearance of their emperor. Although that armor only has a trace of the ancient king's will, it is also an emperor-level demon.
Perhaps the condition of the deal is that Mu He must find a suitable puppet for the armor, and then the real ceremony of Saran will take place. The dead emperor ascends the throne, the undead riots, and countless people are killed and injured.
How pleasant this sounded to Saran!
Xu Fan also told Zhang Xiaohou his analysis in general, and when Zhang Xiaohou heard that Saran's actions would definitely far exceed the disaster in Bo City, he felt a little anxious.
A monarch appeared in Bo City, so is it possible that an emperor will appear in this ancient capital?
Zhang Xiaohou was anxious, but the one who was even more anxious than him was Mu He. Mu He didn't want to affect Saran's deification ceremony because of his selfishness.
"No, Sha Yuan's matter must not be exposed now!"
Mu He was already thinking about whether he should ambush Zhang Xiaohou in the suburbs and kill him halfway, so that this secret would remain in Zhang Xiaohou's stomach forever.
But as soon as he stood up, Mu He thought of Xu Fan again. He also knew that Xu Fan and Mo Fan went to rescue Zhang Xiaohou, and it was very likely that Wang Chong was killed by Xu Fan.
Mu He dared to attack and kill Zhang Xiaohou, but he absolutely did not dare to attack Xu Fan. Three years ago, Xu Fan already had the strength to kill him. Now if he sees Xu Fan again, he will be killed in seconds before he even shows his head!
But Mu He is not a stubborn person. Zhang Xiaohou is protected by Xu Fan and he cannot move. But there is still a hostage in this ancient capital!
"Mu Bai, I'm sorry to you again this time!"
Mu He sneered, put on his cloak and slowly disappeared in the room. Mu Bai would probably never have thought that the uncle next door to him was actually the incarnation of Mu He.
Mu He put a lot of thought into his son Mu Bai. As a high-ranking official of the Black Vatican, he wanted to promote his son, but he was also worried that he would implicate his son. In the end, he could only approach his son with a "clean" identity.
It’s a pity that I have to give up this identity now.
He Yu had been having trouble sleeping and eating these past few days, and only thanks to Zhou Min's company did she feel better. Xu Fan and Mo Fan had been gone for two days. Although her intuition told her that perhaps no news at this time was good news, she still couldn't help but let her mind run wild.
She was a military lawyer and had long been prepared to sacrifice her life for her country, but when the bad news came to the people around her, she realized that she was not that strong at all.
"Don't worry, Xu Fan, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou have been friends since childhood. They will definitely be able to bring the monkey back intact!"
Zhou Min comforted softly, and at this moment there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Mu Bai, is there any news about Zhang Xiaohou?"
He Yu was a little excited, but Mu Bai's response disappointed her.
"No news from them yet! I have something to do and need to leave for a while!"
Mu Bai's tone was very heavy. Perhaps at this moment he was the one who could best understand He Yu.
"What happened?"
Zhou Min walked forward, opened the door and asked, and Mu Bai's haggard appearance also shocked her.
