The air turned chilly as the sunlight disappeared.

Ye Chang realized a man’s old jacket was draped over her shoulders. It still had some heat lingering on it.

As she approached a dark church, she casually took off the jacket and threw it into a bin.

The door of the church was tightly shut. The sun had set for the day. Strange candles suddenly lit up in the church, but they only managed to illuminate a small area.

There were no residents or tourists around. The church sat silently beside the busy street, like it belonged to a different world.

Rows of wooden chairs filled the empty church. She walked down the path in the middle of the hall toward a statue of Jesus.

“Tell me everything that happened while I was away,” she said to nobody.

“On the Disciples’ Day, Su Lengyi killed Tina and claimed the role of the Head Priestess.

“Seven days ago, a bloodbath occurred at Dubai’s Asia Magic Association. A group of scholars was murdered with obvious evidence left at the scene,” a strange voice sounding like a phantom spoke in the church.

“What evidence?” Salan asked.

“Evidence that points to us. The personnel of the Magic Association are already looking for us. It’s likely a conspiracy the authorities of the Asia Magic Association have planned. They are setting us up to distract the Holy Judgment Court and the Sacred City,” the voice went on.

“Such a lame conspiracy. Who were the victims?” Salan grinned coldly.

“A bunch of deceitful old men who claimed they had innovated new human magic,” the voice related.

“If they were just a bunch of liars, why would anyone bother to kill them? The Magic Association needs quacks like them to convince the world they are working hard to invent magic, when all they did was control the world,” Salan scoffed.

“I’m afraid I have no idea.”

“Give me a list of the victims and tell the deacon who has infiltrated the Dubai Magician Tower. Prepare a new identity for me to enter the Asia Magic Association freely.”

“Got it, but there’s one thing I don’t understand,” the voice asked curiously.

“Say it.”

“Is the Supreme Pontiff really dead?” the voice questioned.

“No one knows who the Supreme Pontiff is after the person in Saint Paul Cathedral died, so I say the Supreme Pontiff is dead.”

“What if the Supreme Pontiff shows up?”

“Isn’t he as good as dead?” Salan replied.

“Brilliant!” the voice agreed.

A strange breeze swept across the church. It soon fell silent again.

Salan looked up and stared at the statue of Jesus on the cross.

A while later, she left the church and locked the door.

She caught a glimpse of the old jacket in the bin. The jacket did not fall into the bin, as the opening was quite narrow.

A moment later, Salan walked toward the bin.

Zhuhai City…

The waves were rolling fiercely. A man was riding the waves across the gray sea, like a cultivator returning from his journey around the world.

Mages were cheering on the beach. They were too scared to even look at the sea for a long time, let alone receive a warrior who had returned from his quest at the beach.

“Senior, did you kill the lightning serpent?”

“Mm, raise a fire, I’m going to shout you all some grilled unagi. Who’s a chef here?” Mo Fan smiled.

The crowd was astounded. They looked behind Mo Fan.

A wolf with dazzling hair was running across the waves. He was dragging something toward the coast by its long tail.

The owner of the tail was of a shocking size. It was stirring up huge waves as it moved through the water. The carcass was covered in wounds, but it still gave the people on the beach a fright.

“Huh? Are you really going to cook that?!”

“Of course, it’s a waste not to use such a high-quality ingredient. It’s a great source of nutrients for both women and men!” Mo Fan replied loftily.

“Senior, you are really something. You have slain the lightning serpent by yourself!” the leader of the Mages in Zhuhai exclaimed.

“It’s not a serpent, just a relatively big eel. A real serpent doesn’t have claws. Besides, it’s not worthy to be called a serpent, considering its strength,” Mo Fan sniffed disdainfully.

“That thing doesn’t have claws, either!”

“Well, who cares what it is. I can only promise you it has a nice texture. Let’s try it out,” Mo Fan said.

“That’s right, senior, I heard that the meat of high-level sea monsters is good for children’s growth after it has been processed with a special method,” the leader mentioned.

“Oh, I have heard similar things too. Not only will children’s strength increase significantly after eating the meat, their muscles will be as hard as rocks, too!” another old Mage spoke up.

“Oh? It sounds like the meat has a lot of benefits. I shouldn’t waste them. Let’s try it out first and give the rest to the schools. Perhaps we will soon have some Hercules among us!” Mo Fan smiled.

Humans’ flesh was too weak. Even Mages could not match the physical attributes of demon creatures.

If humans had the strength to brawl with evil serpents and monsters in the mountains, their golden age might arrive soon!

——

“How was it? Did you find the Totem Seal?” Lingling asked excitedly.

Mo Fan shook his head and said, “It was just a demon eel, but its claws were indeed a little strange.”

“The information you have collected should do it. I’ll analyze it now. By the way, the Canton Tower left a message for you. They were asking you to pay them a visit. It sounds like an emergency,” Lingling said.

Lingling studied the claws closely.

A serpent did not have claws, at least according to myths and legends. However, these claws bore some similarities to a certain Totem Seal.

Seeing the actual thing and seeing it in photos were different. The claws had lines and scales that were worth investigating.

——

Lingling put all her attention on analyzing the claws to match them with the Totem Seals after returning to Guangzhou.

To Lingling’s surprise, even though the creature was not a Totem Beast, it was somehow related to the Totem Beasts. Its claws provided Lingling with some useful clues.

Most importantly, Lingling had found the Totem Beast related to the claws!

The drawings on the small island at the center of the lake in Hangzhou had a snake that was the superior to the Black Totem Snake. The lines and scales on the claws were similar to the pattern of the scales on the snake!

Lingling was extremely excited. She had finally made a huge discovery! They did not have any information on the snake that was several times bigger than the Black Totem Snake before now.

It had to be one of the strongest Totem Beasts in the ancient times.. It was the superior to the Black Totem Snake, and often hid itself in the clouds and the mists.
