Chapter 208 The Missing Zhankong

It has to be said that Mu He is a madman. He can give everything for Saran's plan. He would rather die than leak Saran's plan.

Xu Fan and others chatted with Mu He for more than an hour, but Mu He remained silent most of the time. When facing Mu Bai's questioning, he even closed his eyes. In the end, everyone gained nothing.

But Xu Fan still found some clues. Every time it was Zhang Xiaohou's turn to ask questions, Mu He would involuntarily get nervous, but when Zhang Xiaohou asked the question, Mu He would relax again.

It was obvious that Mu He was afraid that Zhang Xiaohou would ask the right question, and once Zhang Xiaohou asked that question, it would prove that this question might not require an answer from Mu He.

Perhaps the reason why Mu He planted the forgetfulness bug in Zhang Xiaohou was not just to take him hostage, but also to completely devour some of Zhang Xiaohou's memories, and those memories would cause Saran's plan to fail.

Sometimes it is easier to work backwards with the answer. Xu Fan quickly thought of a way to dismantle Saran's conspiracy. He went deep into the Abyss to face the will of the ancient king and make him withdraw his troops!
The key is to enter the Shayuan. If you enter, who can enter? People from Bocheng can enter, and people from Weiju Village can also enter.

Perhaps Zhang Xiaohou had already entered the Evil Abyss once, but escaped by luck, and it was at that time that he saw Mu He entering and leaving the Evil Abyss!
Xu Fan stared at Mu He, and Mu He was even more shocked. Xu Fan's eyes were too terrifying. At that moment, he seemed to be seen through!
Xu Fan calmed down. He did not intend to say this directly. If Zhang Xiaohou remembered, then there would be one more person entering the Shayuan. If not, then he would take the risk alone, and at most bring a sacrifice, Xie Sang or Fang Gu.

Everyone finally left disappointed, especially Zhang Xiaohou. He clearly felt that he was only one step away from the truth, but this step was like an insurmountable chasm that he could never cross.

"What are your plans next?"

Mu Bai looked at the others. The interrogation had failed and he was fine. Next he had to deal with Uncle Di E's funeral.

"We just happen to have nothing to do, so we might as well go and help you. Besides, there are a lot of old acquaintances there!"

Zhang Xiaohou and Mo Fan said so, and He Yu and Zhou Min naturally followed their steps.

Several people looked at Xu Fan and Mu Ningxue. The two seemed to have different plans.

"I have something to discuss with Councillor Zhu Meng. You all know that the chief instructor is also in the ancient capital, but he is missing now!"

Xu Fan sighed. Zhan Kong should have received the news of Zhang Xiaohou's return, but he still hadn't returned to the ancient capital. It seemed that he was investigating something else.

"But don't worry, the chief instructor is not in danger, it seems he has run away from home!"

Seeing that Mo Fan and the others were somewhat panicked, Xu Fan hurriedly explained that Zhan Kong was most likely holding back a big move, and might still rush into Sha Yuan and take the armor robe in the end.

"If you don't obey military orders, not only will you be shot, but you will be beaten with a stick when you come back!"

Zhang Xiaohou muttered something angrily, but then fell silent. It was all his fault.

The crowd split into two groups, but after turning a street, Xu Fan stopped, took out his cell phone and checked the time.

"Is Lingling coming soon?"

Because he wanted to study the production method of the Holy Spring, he requested technical support. "She should arrive tomorrow. If you can arrive half an hour earlier, she will arrive this morning. Maybe she has already joined us now!"

Mu Ningxue gave Xu Fan a cold look. Xu Fan did not explain, so she didn't understand why he called Lingling to such a dangerous place.

"Please go pick her up for me tomorrow. Don't bring her to Mu He's execution. If you need any materials, go to Mu Bai's shop directly. Tell me if you're missing anything!"

Xu Fan made the arrangements, and Mu Ningxue just nodded slightly. She didn't know what Xu Fan was planning, but she knew that Xu Fan would not harm her.

Xu Fan's hand moved gently, and a star track appeared in front of him, but the star track disappeared after it appeared, and no change happened to Xu Fan.

"This is the star track of Shadow Escape, a primary magic of the Shadow system, but it uses light-type stars. Do you want to try Light Escape?"

Mu Ningxue frowned. It's not like someone had tried Xu Fan's idea before, but none of them had ever succeeded.

“Maybe someday I’ll succeed!”

Xu Fan said calmly, and then tried the wind, plant, water, and ice shadow escape star tracks, but still failed once. This was not a field that a high-level magician could reach.

Finally, Xu Fan used Shadow Escape and transformed into a shadow bird, following the corner of the wall and rushing towards the direction where Mu Bai and his companions left.

Mu Ningxue also activated her cloak magic tool and used Shadow Escape to catch up with Xu Fan. The mark of the Ice Crystal Bow appeared on her palm. She didn't ask who Xu Fan was going to ambush, but just shot the arrow with all her strength.

Although Mu Ningxue did not ask, she could guess that they were going to ambush a high-ranking member of the Black Vatican, most likely Cardinal Saran.

Mo Fan and the other five chatted as they walked towards the resettlement area. At Mo Fan's request, Zhou Min talked to He Yu about Zhao Chenying. Although Zhou Min had not yet completely accepted Zhao Chenying's joining, for Mo Fan's sake and for Zhang Xiaohou's sake, she had to give He Yu some eye drops in advance.

On the other side, Mo Fan and Zhang Xiaohou caught up with Mu Bai and talked about his life in the past few years. The last time they met was after the disaster in Bo City. Although they experienced escape together, they did not get along very well with each other at that time.

But in the past few years, they have had their own experiences, and some of their childhood conflicts have become memories worth savoring, and their relationship has become much closer.

Zhang Xiaohou was thinking about treating Mu Bai to a good meal next time he came to Bo City, and Mo Fan was even thinking about calling Mu Bai to help him if he had any difficult problems in the future. Although he would not cheat Mu Bai like Xu Fan cheated him, Mu Bai was already a qualified tool.

A pair of eyes stared at Mo Fan and his companions who were talking in the dark, and then looked at the dark shadow following behind them. She had no chance to cast super-level magic, and could only use high-level magic at most, and it had to kill with one blow.

Saran knew very well that Zhang Xiaohou was the bait now. She understood the importance of Zhang Xiaohou better than Han Ji did. Maybe Han Ji and Zhu Meng were hiding in secret.

Saran waved her hands lightly, and the pair of rings on her hands sparkled, and several ice spikes slowly condensed around her.
