Lin Chen and Mo Fan chatted for a long time before Mo Fan left.
Lin Chen then took out his phone and called Tang Zhong, informing him of what had happened today.
Although Lin Chen didn't leave any survivors, this was not difficult for the Judgment Association; they could still easily find out the personal information of these Black Vatican members.
Not only that, but by tracing their communication records, they could also follow the clues and find other Black Vatican members lurking in the shadows.
After Lin Chen's confirmation, among the gray-clad individuals, there was also a student from Mingzhu Academy.
This shows how rampant the Black Vatican is, able to infiltrate even Mingzhu Academy.
Lin Chen wouldn't have bothered if he didn't know, but since he did, he still called Dean Xiao and told him the specific situation.
Dean Xiao expressed his gratitude after learning the full story.
However, from Dean Xiao's fragmented words, Lin Chen could tell that the school authorities probably already knew about the Black Vatican's infiltration into Mingzhu Academy.
Lin Chen only left the factory after the Judgment Association members arrived.
Before he even got home, Lin Chen received a call from Tang Zhong.
"What? You want me to help you deal with a Black Vatican Blue Robe?" Lin Chen asked in surprise upon hearing Tang Zhong's request.
The Blue Robe deacons of the Black Vatican all possess high-level cultivation, and to become a Blue Robe, they must be cunning individuals.
Of course, it wasn't difficult for Lin Chen; he was just surprised by how shameless Tang Zhong was.
After a brief shock, Lin Chen continued, "Uncle, you're not mistaken, are you? I'm not part of your Judgment Association!"
Lin Chen was quite speechless at Tang Zhong's audacity; if it weren't for Tang Yue's sake, he wouldn't bother with Tang Zhong.
After Tang Zhong's persistent persuasion, Lin Chen finally agreed to Tang Zhong's request, but Lin Chen explicitly stated that this would be the last time.
The next day, close to evening, Lin Chen received the detailed information for this mission, and he immediately headed towards the destination.
Night fell, and dark clouds gathered, blocking out the moon, making the entire city a hazy gray.
However, the Demon City was lit up with dazzling lights, and looking down from above, the myriad of lights intertwined with colorful neon, making the sleepless Demon City resemble a unique painting.
As Lin Chen continued to fly, the scattered lights became sparser, and soon, Lin Chen arrived at the mission's destination according to the navigation prompt.
At this moment, Lin Chen had already arrived in the suburbs of Demon City; looking around, there were many civilian houses below, and a huge factory not far away, with the location close to the ocean.
Lin Chen slowly landed, retracting his fiery phoenix wings; the surroundings were silent, and the sound of the wind was clearly audible as a gentle breeze passed.
Lin Chen's mental force instantly probed out; inside a civilian house near the factory, a middle-aged man was sound asleep.
Since this area was already close to the ocean, there were no longer any residents in the civilian houses, as they had all migrated inland.
The fact that the middle-aged man was alone here clearly indicated that he was Lin Chen's target for this trip.
"Why does it feel like the other party is handing me a head?" Lin Chen muttered to himself, feeling that this mission was very simple; the opponent was unprepared, and Lin Chen could clearly feel his pulse beating steadily, clearly in a state of deep sleep.
However, Lin Chen was not careless at all; to be a Black Vatican Blue Robe, it certainly wouldn't be that simple; he quietly approached the civilian house, and when only a hundred meters remained, the star map under Lin Chen's feet lit up, and the next moment, Lin Chen disappeared from his original spot.
"Beep beep beep..."
Lin Chen's figure reappeared; he was already inside that civilian house, and what Lin Chen didn't expect was that the middle-aged man had clearly left a contingency; the dilapidated civilian house was filled with high-tech products.
As soon as Lin Chen appeared, an alarm sounded in the room.
Instantly, the middle-aged man woke up from his sleep, "Who is it! Get out!" He shook his body and asked loudly.
The middle-aged man frowned deeply, his face filled with killing intent.
In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged man got out of bed, stood firm, and vigilantly looked around.
The red star map under his feet had already been lit, ready to attack the intruder at any time.
The middle-aged man's actions were like a battle-hardened warrior, making Lin Chen unable to help but praise him.
But what the middle-aged man never expected was that the moment he lit up the stardust, the Fire System magic energy within his body began to drain at an extremely fast rate.
Lin Chen, hidden in the darkness, did not reveal his figure; the goal of this mission was to capture the target alive as much as possible.
Unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to kill him; killing was an easy task for Lin Chen, but capturing someone alive was much more difficult than killing.
Dark System magic, in the darkness, was like having divine force; as long as Lin Chen did not actively reveal himself, the opponent would find it very difficult to discover Lin Chen's whereabouts.
Apparently, the middle-aged man also thought of this, but the old civilian house had a very outdated circuit design.
He could only carefully walk towards the door, trying to turn on the lights in the room.
How could Lin Chen let him have his way? His mental force extended outside the house, and with a thought, he directly turned off the main circuit breaker.
"Da da da..."
The middle-aged man continuously pressed the switch, but the lights in the room did not turn on; at this moment, the middle-aged man seemed to understand something.
"Who exactly are you? Come out and state your demands directly!" The middle-aged man said loudly, with a hint of pleading in his words; it was clear that the middle-aged man was starting to panic and was playing a psychological game with Lin Chen, trying to make Lin Chen reveal himself.
Lin Chen naturally didn't believe his nonsense; he wouldn't just actively show himself and tell him to surrender, would he?
The middle-aged man's questioning received no reply; he leaned tightly against the corner, vigilantly observing his surroundings.
"How is this possible!"
The middle-aged man suddenly exclaimed, shocked that his Fire System magic energy had suddenly been depleted.
He tried to light up the Fire System star map again but found that he simply couldn't.
Confirming that his Fire System magic energy was depleted, the middle-aged man could only helplessly connect to the Wind System Star Path; the moment the Wind System star map was lit, the middle-aged man also breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, how could Lin Chen let him off so easily? In just a moment, the middle-aged man's Wind System magic energy began to drain again at an extremely fast rate.
The Two-Yin Sword's devouring ability is not simple; it can devour everything, and devouring this much magic energy is too easy for the Two-Yin Sword.
Lin Chen used mental force as a medium, and through the Two-Yin Sword's devouring ability, he could devour the opponent's magic energy without anyone noticing.
The reason the middle-aged man didn't discover it at first was entirely because Lin Chen's mental force level was much higher than his.
