The official letter stated that Bai Xu, the Southern Guardian of the Forbidden City, would soon visit the ancient capital for an inspection and to have a friendly exchange with the Ancient Capital Bell Tower Magic Association.
Han Ji was quite happy about Nan Shou Bai Xu's arrival.
As one of the high-ranking officials in the former palace, Bai Xu, the governor of the south, was very powerful.
Perhaps he is not as good as a top-tier mage who has mastered all four elements, but he is not much weaker.
Moreover, since Bai Xu, the governor of the south, came here as a representative of the former palace, he certainly wasn't alone.
Among the entourage, there were quite a few court mages, and perhaps four or five of them were super-level mages.
If there are already so many super-level mages, there must be quite a few high-level mages as well.
Don't underestimate these four or five super-tier fighters; if something happens to the ancient capital, they will be a very useful fighting force.
Don't be fooled by the fact that there are quite a few high-level mages in the ancient capital, about thirty or forty of them.
But if...
But if, in the event that the ancient capital were to be attacked by the Abyss of Fiends, then perhaps not even half of the super-level mages would be able to stand up and fight for the ancient capital and not leave prematurely.
Han Ji has already made his plans.
There has been some unrest outside the ancient capital recently, and he insisted on keeping the fighting force of Nan Shou Bai Xu until the Sha Yuan disappears.
That's what he thought, and coincidentally, Nan Shou Bai Xu thought the same thing.
Bai Xu, the Southern Guardian, also known as Jiu Ying, who was far away in the Imperial Palace Magic Association, smiled when he saw the letter from the Bell Tower Magic Association.
"Hmph, don't let me find out who's sabotaging my plans, or I'll turn you into a black beast demon!"
Jiuying murmured to himself, a fierce and eerie look flashing across his originally dignified and righteous face.
He spent several years planning his strategy in the ancient river basin, and even started recruiting subordinates to plan it a decade ago.
It was originally intended as an opportunity for him to reap military merits and honors during his promotion, so that he could achieve a meteoric rise to power.
Unexpectedly, it was detonated ahead of schedule.
Not only was it detonated, but his entire force of several hundred men left behind in the ancient river basin was also wiped out.
Not a single survivor was left.
To be honest, he almost went berserk when he received this message.
Now, his two competitors have gone from being evenly matched at the beginning to gaining the upper hand, making him the one most likely to be eliminated early.
He climbed the ranks based on his military achievements in the ancient river basin.
However, a bolt from the blue struck: his ten years of hard work on the project was gone!
Not only did it not help at all, it almost affected him as well.
I'll make him so angry he'll die on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiuying did not put all its eggs in one basket.
In addition to his deployment in the ancient river basin, he was also simultaneously operating several branch lines.
Among them, the ancient capital is another branch line second only to the ancient river basin.
The reason why the ancient capital is a side route is because it is far too dangerous compared to the ancient river basin.
If the emperor-level demons of the ancient river basin want to attack the Great Xia, the Kunlun Demon Court and the forbidden spell masters stationed there will defend against them. All he has to do is shout "666".
However, the ancient capital not only lacks a forbidden spell mage, but it is also located on the edge of the core area of the undead empire.
If he's unlucky enough to trigger the Ancient King's attack, he'll face an attack from a sub-emperor level undead emperor.
The risk factor has increased significantly.
But there's no other way; the only place he can surpass now is the ancient capital.
For the sake of his own plans, Jiu Ying felt that he needed to make more arrangements.
At his command, two court sorcerers who had been turned by Jiuying entered his office and began to carry out Jiuying's new action plan.
However, while Jiuying and his accomplices were plotting, in an empty corner of the room, a completely invisible figure meticulously recorded all the information they heard, saw, and found.
Then, without arousing anyone's suspicion, he transmitted this information to his direct superior.
Serafina, far away in the ancient capital, then tore open space and retrieved a sealed piece of information from the spatial turbulence.
He glanced at it a few times and memorized all the information, while the information in his hand turned to ashes.
Serafina strode towards Su Lan, her high heels clicking rhythmically on the floor, her graceful figure displaying a perfect athletic physique.
However, only Su Lan could witness this breathtaking scene.
Serafina sat crosswise on Su Lan's lap with practiced ease, wrapping her arms around Su Lan's arms.
When there are no other women around Su Lan, that is when Serafina has Su Lan all to herself, and that is when she is happiest.
"My dear Father God~~~~~"
Serafina's soft, seductive, and tingling words made Su Lan immediately salute her.
Fortunately, Su Lan was determined. He had just finished a five-hour battle last night, otherwise he might have given the big demon in his arms a good lesson.
However, a small punishment is still necessary.
As Su Lan slapped her a few times, Serafina rested her head on Su Lan's shoulder, looking dazed.
At this moment, Serafina was no longer the intimidating and domineering woman she was when dealing with enemies; she was now just a "weak woman" who could take whatever she wanted from Su Lan.
If you can ignore the anger you feel when you disturb her now, the anger that would make even the roof of the world come and get you smashed by her.
After Serafina replenished the Father God's energy named "Su Lan," she began to slowly recount the information she had just received.
"The special spring water of Weiju Village has been taken away by Jiuying's subordinates. They are developing a potion that can make the dead immune to sunlight and awaken to fight during the day."
"The latest weather forecast shows that the ancient capital and the entire Undead Empire region will be covered by rain for the next half month. Nine Infants will spread this potion across the land as rain within half a month."
"To ensure that the crisis in the ancient capital unfolds as he envisioned, Jiuying has added several more contingency plans, as follows..."
While listening to Serafina's report, Su Lan pondered the current situation in the ancient capital.
The seemingly flawless plan that Jiuying is implementing has actually been thoroughly investigated by the Alien Hunters long ago.
All members of the Black Church that Jiuying placed in the ancient capital, whether old subordinates or new members, were registered.
They even categorized these people and dug into their personal information.
No undercover agent was found; everyone is confirmed to be a villain.
At that time, Su Lan will no longer need to worry about accidentally injuring friendly forces.
Speaking of allies, Su Lan thought of Blue Bat, the undercover agent planted by the Tribunal next to Ye Chang.
The undercover agent's identity is now in a rather awkward position.
In the original story, Blue Bat sacrificed himself to gain the temporary trust of the Black Vatican, secretly providing intelligence to the Inquisition's higher-ups and making a significant contribution to the Black Vatican's downfall.
She was, after all, a hero, so Su Lan would not only not harm her, but would also protect her temporarily.
However, we cannot let Blue Bat leave now, nor can we let her know about her relationship with Salang.
Therefore, Su Lan had Serafina seal most of the Blue Bat's memories so that she could live safely without causing Su Lan any trouble.
