Upon arriving at the laboratory, Jiang Yuan asked, "How should I cooperate?"
"Just stand there," Feng Mu said, a smile of unknown meaning appearing on his face, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.
Jiang Yuan immediately sensed something was wrong and quickly activated his Overclocking state.
As soon as he activated it, his Psychic became clear.
However, at this moment, Feng Mu suddenly made his move.
An extremely powerful Psychic force aggressively struck.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously retreated, but only felt a ripple in his Psychic.
"Hmm? My Psychic force didn't make you faint?" Feng Mu was very surprised.
His Psychic was also High-level, and his mental realm had already reached the extremely high Sixth Level; a Mage of the same level would be completely unable to resist this Psychic force.
Yet, even with such a powerful mental realm, Jiang Yuan endured it as if nothing had happened, as if it had no effect.
"Who exactly are you?" Jiang Yuan didn't know why he felt nothing at all; his gaze was sharp, and he was already prepared for battle.
"You don't need to know who I am. You took away a very important item, and it's time to return it to us," Feng Mu said in a deep voice.
"Return it to you?"
Jiang Yuan was suddenly shocked and blurted out, "You are—"
Before he could finish speaking, a mass of black substance suddenly appeared, trapping Jiang Yuan at an extremely fast speed, completely plunging him into darkness, making it difficult for him to even cast magic.
It wasn't until two days later that Feng Zhoulong came looking for Jiang Yuan.
There was no one in Feng Mu's laboratory.
Both Jiang Yuan and Feng Mu were completely out of contact!
...
...
Darkness, endless darkness.
Jiang Yuan continuously tried to break through the darkness that trapped him, but made no progress.
This power was definitely not High-level.
Just as he was making his three hundredth attempt.
A ray of light pierced the darkness, then rapidly expanded.
Jiang Yuan's first reaction upon regaining light was not joy, but a face full of disbelief.
Standing before him was a man wearing a long robe and a hat.
Jiang Yuan was so familiar with the man's face.
"We finally meet again, Jiang Yuan!" The venomous voice sounded as if it wanted to tear Jiang Yuan to shreds.
"Mu He!" Jiang Yuan stiffly spat out the man's name.
He never expected that they would meet again in such a situation after the Bo City disaster.
Jiang Yuan could not have imagined that the Black Vatican's reach had extended into the Research Institute.
Most importantly, he, damn it, had actually been captured.
His vigilance was still too low.
He knew that the imperial jade seal was likely the key item that the Black Vatican used to bring the Sha Abyss to the Ancient Capital.
So how could the Black Vatican not pay attention to the imperial jade seal?
How was he going to escape now?
"We finally meet. Unfortunately, I can't kill you right now." Mu He's eyes flashed.
He sneered, "It's truly unexpected that you almost ruined Salang's enthronement ceremony."
Jiang Yuan slowly stood up from the ground; the black substances had not disappeared and still clung to him, preventing him from using magic.
Seeing this, Mu He sneered, raised his hand, and several ice crystal chains shot out.
Jiang Yuan was trapped again, unable to move.
"Just wait a little longer, just a little longer and I can kill you!!!"
Mu He's voice was almost maniacal; he violently tore off his hat, revealing his terrifying head.
Jiang Yuan's pupils constricted.
Mu He's head looked as if it had been corroded by strong acid, covered in ugly, grotesque scars, bloody and mangled, with only his distorted face still recognizable.
"Do you know what I went through?"
Mu He rushed over, grabbing Jiang Yuan's collar tightly with both hands, and roared hysterically, "It's because of you that the Bo City plan failed! Salang punished me, that kind of pain is enough to drive anyone insane!!!!"
As he spoke, he was about to throw Jiang Yuan violently, but for some reason, he pulled his hand back.
"It's because of you that the Ancient Capital plan was also forced to advance, making Salang furious!" Mu He's voice echoed in the darkness, filled with endless resentment.
"But it doesn't matter, you're about to die, and your Death will summon the most terrifying Undead, the Sha Abyss. Be fortunate, to be a participant in a great ceremony! Hahahahahahaha!!"
"What exactly do you Black Vatican want to do?!" Jiang Yuan gritted his teeth, desperately wanting to know what had gone wrong with the Ancient Capital plan.
Mu He, perhaps feeling that Jiang Yuan was a fish in a barrel, with Death imminent, slowly calmed his emotions and explained the Black Vatican's upcoming plan in an almost tranquil tone.
"We originally planned to have the Sha Abyss descend upon the Ancient Capital in a year and a half, turning it into a human purgatory. That would be Salang's enthronement ceremony to declare herself to the world!" Mu He's eyes glowed with fanaticism.
"But you, you actually brought the most important imperial jade seal to the military and the Research Institute! To prevent them from becoming alarmed, we had no choice but to initiate the plan early."
"You still don't know, do you?" Mu He slowly walked up to Jiang Yuan, his eyes fixed on him, and said word by word, "You made the imperial jade seal recognize you as its master. Once you die, the imperial jade seal will completely revive. At that time, the Sha Abyss will instantly cross thousands of miles and appear directly at the place of your Death."
"Enjoy this last moment, I will personally send you on your way then!"
Mu He's voice was icy cold, like a Death sentence.
It's over, it's completely over.
Jiang Yuan was in extreme shock.
The Black Vatican was actually going to immediately implement their plan just because a tiny flaw was exposed.
And the initiation of the plan required him to be sacrificed.
Jiang Yuan didn't know how to come up with a solution.
Except for Healing, his other magic systems were basically restricted and couldn't be used.
However, his innate talents could be used.
Thunder Electromagnetic Domain, Psychic Overclocking state, Healing Healing Body.
And the Space system, which hadn't yet revealed its innate talent.
Perhaps this talent could allow him to freely traverse Space?
Wouldn't that save him?
At this moment, Mu He left.
Jiang Yuan immediately began to try and uncover the innate talent of his Space system.
This might be his only chance to be saved!
...
A few days later.
Ancient Capital city wall, night was approaching.
The light gradually disappeared, and the Undead outside the city once again crawled out from underground, wandering aimlessly.
The damp wind rose.
A guard Mage looked up at the sky; the stars and moon that could usually be seen were now swallowed by blackness.
The humidity in the air was getting higher and higher.
"It's going to rain tonight, it's going to be a tough one!" the guard Mage sighed.
The Mage next to him was about to reply.
Suddenly, a clap of Thunder, followed by a torrential downpour!
The lightning illuminated the dark night for an instant.
In that instant, everyone saw the city's outskirts already densely covered with Undead.
The Undead Monarch, who had never approached before, was now slowly moving towards the city wall!
Within the dark clouds, a massive figure with white bone wings flickered!
