In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
Wang Feng and his group successfully returned to the Ancient Capital City from Hua Village.
Instead of mingling with the villagers of Hua Village, they took Mo Fan, Lingling, Zhang Xiaohou, and Su Xiaoluo directly into the inner city.
With the Black Dragon VIP card gifted by Irene, Wang Feng booked a presidential suite at the Victoria Hotel.
"You all rest here; I have some matters to attend to first."
After saying this, Wang Feng hurried out of the hotel.
...
Wang Feng arrived at Bo City Street, established by Bo City residents, and quickly found out about Mu He.
"This time, none of you will escape!"
Before his words faded, his figure merged with the surrounding darkness, moving like a ghost swiftly towards Mu He's direction.
...
A moment later, Wang Feng arrived in front of a closed shop.
This was a shop opened by Mu He, but for some reason, the door was tightly shut, seemingly out of business.
Wang Feng didn't hesitate, directly using his Shadow Escape ability to stealthily infiltrate the shop.
His Mind power quietly surged out, quickly pinpointing Mu He's location, and at the same time, he discovered the presence of several other Black Cultists.
They were whispering, their voices filled with fanaticism and conspiracy.
"Deacon, the Pontiff has made all the arrangements; the rain can begin at any time," a Black Cultist respectfully reported.
"Deacon, the Calamity Abyss has been successfully guided; in about two pulsations, it will completely engulf the Ancient Capital!" another cultist added.
Mu He nodded, a fanatical expression on his face:
"Yes, excellent. This celebration must not go wrong, after all, this is Cardinal Salang's important ceremony for achieving godhood!"
"Too bad, you are destined not to see this moment!"
Suddenly, a cold voice interrupted their conversation, piercing everyone's ears like a sharp blade.
"Who?!"
Mu He's face instantly changed, and a burst of cold air erupted from him. An Ice Element Domain immediately unfolded, the surrounding temperature plummeted, and countless ice crystals condensed in the air.
However, when he turned his head, he found that the several Black Cultists were already decapitated, lying on the ground, their blood staining the floor red.
And in their midst was a white-haired young man with wolf ears, his crimson wolf eyes as terrifying as an abyss.
That wolf-eared youth was Wang Feng, who had used the Beast Power to instantly merge with the Demonic Wolf!
"Dead men don't need to know so much!"
Before his words finished, Wang Feng's figure had turned into an afterimage, instantly appearing before Mu He.
Wang Feng grabbed Mu He's shoulder, then delivered a fierce knee strike squarely into Mu He's abdomen.
Mu He's eyes widened, his mouth agape. The intense pain instantly made him lose control of his magic, and the Ice Element Domain collapsed with it.
"Evil Spider Trap - Soul Spider!"
A dark purple spider web was released from his hand, instantly wrapping Mu He tightly.
"Repent in soul annihilation!" Wang Feng said coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes.
Mu He was tightly bound by the dark purple spider web, unable to move his body, yet his soul felt as if it was being cut by countless sharp blades, the intense pain making him let out a mournful scream.
At the same time, Wang Feng did not stop his actions, quietly performing Mind Disaster and Dream Weaving, beginning to peek into Mu He's memories.
As his Mind power delved deeper, Wang Feng quickly found the information he wanted in Mu He's memory fragments.
"Indeed, the Black Vatican's high-ranking members all have Forgetful Worms..."
This unique Forgetful Worm could devour the host's memories concerning the Black Vatican, making them unaware that they themselves were members of the Black Vatican.
This bizarre method perfectly circumvented the Judgment Association's Oath Contract, allowing Black Vatican members to hide their identities in broad daylight, even infiltrating various major forces.
But it was also the existence of this Forgetful Worm that gave Wang Feng room to operate!
"Mu He, display your remaining value!"
Wang Feng looked at Mu He, who had become an empty shell, a slight smile curving his lips.
...
In a hidden underground room.
Elder Lingxi of the Hunter's Alliance was sitting on a chair.
"Mu He, what is so important that you need to inform me at such a critical juncture? Don't you know this carries a risk of exposure!"
Cardinal Salang stared coldly at 'Mu He' who was kneeling on the ground, a hint of displeasure in her voice.
"I am very sorry, Cardinal Salang, I do have something important to report."
'Mu He' lowered his head and respectfully handed over a letter.
Cardinal Salang frowned, took the letter, and opened it without any guard.
However, there were no words on the letter, only a special powdery scent that wafted out.
"You! You are not Mu He!"
Cardinal Salang reacted instantly, her face changing drastically, she abruptly stood up, her eyes filled with killing intent.
She was too familiar with the scent of this powder—it was a drug that could temporarily put the Forgetful Worm to sleep!
Once the Forgetful Worm was asleep, she would no longer be Cardinal Salang, but Ye Chang, who knew nothing about the Black Vatican's plans!
However, before she could make a move, a dizzying sensation struck her, her consciousness rapidly blurred, and she finally collapsed powerlessly to the ground.
At this moment, Wang Feng's true body had quietly infiltrated the room through Shadow Escape.
He glanced at the unconscious Ye Chang and murmured, "I hope this works, I really don't want to kill my mother-in-law with my own hands~"
He quickly put on the Mystic Snake Sky Armor, and his Mind power instantly surged up a level.
Immediately after, he simultaneously used Mind Disaster, Dream Weaving, and Cognitive Modification, focusing his Mind power on Ye Chang.
Soon, Wang Feng found the Forgetful Worm residing within Ye Chang's body.
His gaze sharpened, and he began to modify Ye Chang's, or rather, the Forgetful Worm's memories and cognition within Ye Chang's body.
"Modify: Wang Feng is your master, and also the true master of the Black Vatican!"
"He accepted you and Xin Xia, helping you escape Yi Zhisha's pursuit!"
"You once vowed that you would repay him your entire life, dedicating yourself to him wholeheartedly and without reservation!"
"..."
Wang Feng was unsure of Ye Chang's Mind power level, so he did not directly apply memory modification to Ye Chang.
Instead, he targeted the Forgetful Worm named 'Cardinal Salang'.
This Forgetful Worm carried Ye Chang's 'evil' and was her core as Cardinal Salang.
After all, a worm is ultimately just a worm; even with Mind power, it could never be a match for Wang Feng, who possessed six-level Mind power!
After a long while, the magic dissipated.
After confirming that the ability had taken effect, Wang Feng looked at Ye Chang, who was disguised as Lingxi, his heart filled with trepidation.
He took two deep breaths, trying to calm himself down, then took out the powder to awaken the Forgetful Worm and had Ye Chang take it.
A moment later, Ye Chang's eyelids trembled slightly, then slowly opened her eyes.
"I... Who are you?!"
As soon as Ye Chang woke up, her face changed drastically, and wind elements rapidly gathered around her, forming sharp wind blades, as if ready to attack at any moment.
"I am Wang Feng."
Wang Feng's expression remained calm, but in his hand, he held the Mystic Snake's Totem Bead.
Upon hearing the words "Wang Feng," Ye Chang seemed to have triggered a keyword, and she froze in place.
Immediately after, the wind elements around her suddenly dissipated, and the hostility in her eyes instantly faded.
"Master, you've returned~"
Ye Chang knelt on one knee, bowing her head, her voice filled with respect and submission.
Seeing this scene, the trepidation in Wang Feng's heart finally subsided.
...
On the other side.
Nine Nether Queen, possessing a female mage, strolled through the streets, her eyes filled with curiosity and emotion.
"It's been a long time since I've been to a human city; I never thought it would change so much~"
"Too bad it will be destroyed soon~"
"I should find Wang Xuan first... I think his name was Wang Feng?"
