Mo Fan was not willing to let the Head Priest go so easily.
However, it would not be easy to break through his defense, since he could turn the raindrops into a Rain Hive around him. Even Little Flame Belle’s Calamity Fire would need some time to burn it down.
Mu Bai caught the crystal orb Wu Ku threw at them.
Blue Bat was currently visible inside of it, standing on top of a mountain surrounded by people in gray outfits.
Blue Bat’s right shoulder was burned by Mo Fan’s flames when she was escaping from the underground. They could see the burn very clearly in the crystal orb, meaning that Wu Ku was indeed betraying Blue Bat so he could run away.
“Mo Fan, Old Zhao and I will stop Blue Bat. You stay here and handle him,” Mu Bai said.
“Blue Bat isn’t an easy opponent either,” Mo Fan reminded him.
“Trust us, none of them are going to get away today!” Mu Bai said firmly.
“Alright, but be quick, I’ll deal with him here!” Mo Fan nodded.
They could not afford to release Wu Ku. If he was a Head Priest of the Black Vatican, he would be more valuable than Blue Bat, whether or not he was the true culprit of the Calamity of Bo City.
However, they could not let Blue Bat drive the demon creatures in the Andes Mountains into a frenzy, either. Their best option was to split up. Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan would deal with Blue Bat, while Mo Fan took care of the Head Priest!
Wu Ku was clearly not to be underestimated. Otherwise, why did Mo Fan’s Dark Vein keep warning him in both encounters?
The Dark Vein would only warn Mo Fan when something threatened his life!
He could not guarantee that he could take down Wu Ku, but he had to try for the sake of the tens of thousands of lives that had been lost in Bo City!

Wu Ku was sitting in the Rain Hive he had constructed. He only opened his eyes after Mu Bai and Zhao Manyan vanished in the distance.
His eyes were as cloudy as the rain. In terms of appearance, he was no different from an ascetic monk. Mo Fan did not understand why he would do perform so many evil deeds when he seemed like a person with no desires.
“Mister, if you three go to Blue Bat, she is dead for sure. You will have achieved something at least, but if you are greedy enough to think you can take both of us down, you might go back empty-handedly,” Wu Ku chided him.
“For some reason, I have a feeling what you are up to is even more disgusting than Blue Bat’s conspiracy,” Mo Fan answered flatly.
The members of the Black Vatican were very concerned about their performances. Blue Bat had conspired for such a long time just to destroy the Aorus Sacred Institute. Why would Wu Ku not plan anything if he was a Head Priest?
“You’ve misunderstood me. I’ve never done anything wicked myself. My job as the Head Priest is to supervise people. Think of it as a construction project. The contractors are the ones handling the work. I just need to do a routine checkup and stay updated on their progress. The rest of the work isn’t my responsibility,” Wu Ku replied.
“Tell it to Yama.” Mo Fan did not want to waste his time talking nonsense with the monk.
“I’m telling you the truth. I was only supervising in Bo City without taking part in it… To be honest with you, Bo City wasn’t our true target. It was just an experiment, so it could have happened anywhere. Unfortunately, Great Deacon Hu Jin insisted on conducting the experiment in a place he was familiar with. I couldn’t help it, I wasn’t a Head Priest back then,” Wu Ku continued explaining, whether or not Mo Fan was listening.
Mo Fan’s attitude toward Wu Ku was completely different from how Zhao Manyan had treated him. Mo Fan was basically saying, I’ll only be in the mood to talk to you when you are dead!

Mo Fan used his strongest Spell to attack the Rain Hive. Star Patterns appeared continuously and formed a Star Palace, which fell from the sky like a meteorite. The tremendous energy it was gathering emerged wildly, like fierce waves on a sea.
Wu Ku could sense the powerful Aura of Mo Fan’s Super Spell and his wrath even when hiding inside his Rain Hive!
“What good is this going to give you? I was helpless in Bo City too. I was actually praying for the dead when we first met in Lhasa! I knocked my head on the ground over thirty thousand times. It took me a few years to finish them! Do you think I have the time to hurt people when I’m willing to go to such an extent?” Wu Ku nattered on. He enjoyed talking to himself.
“What you did meant nothing, since those people are already dead. I’ll believe you if you knock your head thirty thousand times on your way to Hell!” Mo Fan completed a Lightning Spell.
Thousands of lightning sparkles appeared, forming spears. It felt like over a thousand soldiers were surrounding Wu Ku and throwing their spears at him!
Wu Ku frowned when he saw the lightning. He placed his palms together and murmured verses under his breath. The raindrops nearby gathered and circled about him.
The raindrops on the outer layer were replenished continuously, preventing the lightning spears from penetrating through their gaps.
The raindrops of the middle layer were spinning as rapidly as a wind wall, blocking the lightning.
The raindrops of the inner layer combined into a Barrier which absorbed the energy of the lightning that had penetrated the first two layers.
It was only a single defensive Spell, but it consisted of three protective layers.
Mo Fan’s lightning weakened significantly whenever it passed through a layer. The lightning that reached Wu Ku could only scratch his itch!
It justified why Zhao Manyan did not bother fighting Wu Ku. If Mo Fan’s destructive spells were unable to harm Wu Ku, it was unlikely Zhao Manyan could do anything to him!
Zhao Manyan had done his job by buying Mo Fan enough time until he arrived. However, Mo Fan was being troubled by Wu Ku’s outstanding defense now.
His strongest move was to merge with the Little Flame Belle and transform into the Flame Emperor.
Unfortunately, Wu Ku was a Water Mage. Mo Fan’s most reliable Fire Element was not effective against him!
“Mister, there’s no point in you wasting your time on me. Hurry up and find Blue Bat. You might be able to save the Aorus Sacred Institute. If you are late because of me…” Wu Ku encouraged him.
“I have seven Elements. I don’t mind trying each of them. I would like to see if you have enough energy to hold on until then!” Mo Fan answered grimly.
Wu Ku’s expression darkened slightly.
Yeah, this guy has seven Elements!
Their situation was like a crocodile biting a turtle’s shell. The crocodile was not willing to let the turtle go, and the turtle did not dare extend its head from the shell.
The turtle told the crocodile that it did not mind hiding in its shell since it could live for a thousand years, but what about the crocodile?
Wu Ku began to panic. He could still talk reason with someone like Zhao Manyan.
Unfortunately, it was Mo Fan who was standing in front of him. This stubborn guy was determined to claim his life!
