Chapter 658: Chapter 658: The Priestess’s Charms (34)

When Ye Shuliang arrived with his men, they just happened to see the magic array being activated.

From several directions of the Pit of Ten Thousand, magic stones were gradually lit up, extending all the way to the center.

What is this?

How could there be people here?!

Ye Shuliang scanned the area and, upon seeing Chuzheng and Fu Yu standing not far away, a surge of rage welled up within him as he bellowed, “Chuzheng, what are you doing!!”

Chuzheng glanced sideways, as if she had just noticed him.

“What I do has nothing to do with you,” Chuzheng responded calmly. “Does the Pit of Ten Thousand belong to you?”

Ye Shuliang: “…”

The Pit of Ten Thousand wasn’t his, but was it hers?

“Light the fire,” Chuzheng instructed Fu Yu.

“Oh… oh, oh, oh.” Fu Yu snapped out of his daze and a small fireball appeared in the palm of his hand.

Ye Shuliang didn’t know what Chuzheng was trying to do, but his instincts told him it wasn’t anything good.

So, when Fu Yu’s small fireball flew out, it was interrupted by Ye Shuliang’s magic.

“Capture them all for me,” Ye Shuliang ordered the people behind him with a somber voice.

Chuzheng pushed Fu Yu slightly: “Light the fire.”

She leaped up to confront those approaching.

Watching Chuzheng block those men, Fu Yu swallowed hard and once again conjured a small fireball, hurling it towards the magic stone on the ground.

“Swoosh—-”

A water arrow extinguished his fireball.

Fu Yu instinctively looked toward the direction from where the water arrow had come.

Men started emerging from the jungle there.

The leader of these men was someone Fu Yu recognized.

Fu Yu, the young master, was quite surprised: “Ah Da?”

Ah Da, with quite a few men, caused Ye Shuliang’s men to halt upon their sudden appearance.

Meanwhile, Ah Da’s men had already approached the mercenaries supporting the formation.

Chuzheng’s expression was cold. She quickly returned to Fu Yu’s side, grabbing his arm. “Hurry up.”

“Ah…” Fu Yu hadn’t recovered from the shock of Ah Da’s presence: “Ah Da, he…”

“Hurry up!” Chuzheng urged.

Intimidated by the cold look on Chuzheng’s face, Fu Yu subconsciously obeyed her command and formed another small fireball.

The magic attacks from both Ye Shuliang and Ah Da, intent on stopping it, were inexplicably blocked by something invisible in mid-air.

“Chuzheng, you dare!”

“Stop!”

“You stop right now!”

The small fireball conjured by Fu Yu landed on the magic stone.

Boom—-

A magic stone ignited, spreading quickly like a fuse, with flames rapidly encircling the Pit of Ten Thousand.

Some tried to extinguish the fire, but the magic array’s automatic defenses had been activated, rendering their magical attacks useless.

Chuzheng stepped back a few paces as the flames began to travel along the formation towards the center, quickly covering the entire Pit of Ten Thousand in fire.

Fu Yu, the young master, turned deathly pale.

What on earth is happening…

Ah Da and Ye Shuliang had similar reactions, both trying to extinguish the flames as their first action.

Unfortunately, even after they forced away the mercenaries supporting the formation, they couldn’t disrupt the formation or extinguish the flames.

“Ah!”

Ye Shuliang roared in fury, his eyes a fiery red as he glared at Chuzheng, as though he wanted to tear her to shreds.

Chuzheng looked at them indifferently.

Utterly heartless and mad.

Even after these people had died, they still took advantage of them, without fearing they’d turn into ghosts and haunt them.

Unable to put out the fire, the two groups shifted their focus to Chuzheng.

Chuzheng stood in the middle.

Ah Da and Ye Shuliang each took a side.

Ah Da was indifferent towards Ye Shuliang, but Ye Shuliang seemed somewhat wary of Ah Da, probably because he didn’t know his background.

As a result, the situation had reached a stalemate.

Nobody dared to act rashly,

“Miss Chuzheng,” Ah Da called out, “What a coincidence.”

Chuzheng noticed that he did not show the slightest sign of surprise, as if he had known all along it was her.

The woman’s lips parted slightly, and her clear, cold voice contrasted sharply with the burning flames, “Not a coincidence. I came looking for you.” To find you, you bastard, I went through a lot of trouble.

Ah Da’s eyes darkened slightly, and his killing intent began to show.

“You know it was me… How did you find out?” He had only taken her to Penghua City before because he happened to be going there as well; he didn’t know her.

Later, when he found out she was a Dark Magician, he was somewhat surprised.

However, it was certain that there existed Dark Magicians in the world whom he did not know about; he couldn’t possibly go and recruit an unfamiliar Dark Magician whom he knew nothing about.

He was also taken aback to see her this time.

“Your men told me,” Chuzheng said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

“Impossible, they would never betray me!” Ah Da objected.

“Hmm,” Chuzheng nodded, agreeing with Ah Da’s words, and explained to him, “They did not betray you; they just took me for one of their own.”

For Chuzheng, a Dark Magician, it was not difficult at all to disguise herself as one of their people.

The two men were strong, but they weren’t very bright.

Chuzheng invited them for a meal, poured them some drinks, slipped in some drugs, and easily coaxed the truth out of them.

Ah Da: “…”

Ah Da took a deep breath, “Then may I ask what business Miss Chuzheng has with me? I do not recall having offended you, and why would you need to get involved in all this?”

Chuzheng’s gaze was calm, “I am here to settle the score for you sending people to hurt Lingji.” You dare mess with my Good Person Card! I won’t let you off!

Lingji.

The Priest of The Temple.

A jolt went through the bottom of Ah Da’s heart.

“Miss Chuzheng, you too are a Dark Series Magician,” Ah Da suddenly began to persuade, “Are you really content to live a life of hiding and being spat upon by the world?”

“I am living well.” With the Good Person Card’s kisses and embraces, what’s not to like? I am doing just fine!

The so-called good guy can be awfully bad!

He actually wants to trick me into joining a pyramid scheme!

Ah Da: “But by using Dark Magic, you’ll be hated and hunted by people. They see us as devils, can you really bear that?”

Chuzheng: “I can choose not to use it.”

Ah Da: “…”

Ah Da, failing to persuade her, darkened his face.

“So Miss Chuzheng thinks that burning these bodies will solve everything?”

“Of course not,” Chuzheng denied, “It’s safer to deal with you.”

Ah Da: “…”

Chuzheng’s response left Ah Da choked up, unable to say the prepared speech he had in mind.

Why make such a scene if you knew it was pointless?

“Since Miss Chuzheng is set on her path, then don’t blame me,” Ah Da’s voice dropped as a surge of the Dark Element suddenly emanated from his body.

Chuzheng found it strange; he was a Water Series Magician, so how had he switched to being a Dark Series Magician?

There were not many but not too few dual-series magicians.

But he was a Dark Series one!

No magician with another series could coexist with the Dark Series!

This was even more incredible than being a dual-series of water and fire.

The only case like that was the Good Person Card…

If the situation was the same as the Good Person Card, and he could switch so easily and naturally, unlike how the Good Person Card always struggled to control it… Capture him and ask!

Ah Da waved his hand, and his men filed out from behind, heading straight for Chuzheng and Fu Yu.

Ye Shuliang had been eager to take action; the moment Ah Da’s men moved, Ye Shuliang followed suit.

Today, she had to die here!

For ruining his opportunity!

Unforgivable!
