In the depths of the alleyway, a few dim lamps swayed gently, each only able to illuminate a radius of a few meters.
The cyan-colored stone walls were lined with wooden doors, the kind that looked extremely old. Suddenly, one of those doors slowly opened.
Fang Yu walked out while dragging several Black Vatican members behind him with Ice Locks.
"Sigh…"
"I only managed to capture a few Gray-Robed Deacons. There's still no trace of the Blue-Robed Deacon."
Fang Yu let out a sigh.
The bounty for a Blue-Robed Deacon was enough to exchange for a Galaxy Vein. Looks like this contribution wouldn't belong to him alone this time.
As Fang Yu walked, he continued thinking about it.
The more he thought about it, the more irritated he became.
In the end, he could only lift the Black Vatican members up and beat them again.
After interrogating them for half the day, he still couldn't squeeze out even the slightest bit of information.
Just wait until I Awaken the Psychic Element. Then let's see if you people can still keep your mouths shut.
Looking down on me, huh?
Meanwhile, at Pearl Academy.
Members led by the Black Vatican's Yu Ang attempted to seize the Earth Holy Spring from Mo Fan.
However, because their strength was insufficient, they ended up being held back by Mo Fan.
Their delayed retreat allowed the Tribunal to uncover the Black Vatican Blue-Robed Deacon hidden within Magic City. After the Blue-Robed Deacon was captured, Mo Fan successfully dealt with his opponent.
This also signified that the Black Vatican's operation had completely collapsed.
Late at night, when Fang Yu dragged his spoils of war back to his residence, a faint fragrance drifted toward him.
A familiar scent.
Leng Qing had arrived.
"You helped quite a lot this time."
Her voice was crisp and pleasant, like birdsong echoing through a forest, refreshing to the soul.
There was a trace of amusement and appreciation in her tone.
Fang Yu looked up and saw Leng Qing sitting on a stone chair, dressed in a red-and-white sports outfit, exhaustion faintly visible between her brows.
It seemed this operation had consumed a great deal of her energy.
Fang Yu responded.
"These few small fry weren't important. The real key players were Mo Fan and your Tribunal."
Leng Qing smiled lightly.
"That may be true, but we still owe you thanks for your help."
Fang Yu entered the house, boiled a kettle of water, poured her a cup, and only then spoke.
"Then how about giving me something more substantial?"
Leng Qing thought for a moment before softly replying.
"Once this operation is fully concluded and these Gray-Robed Deacons are handed over, the funds will be transferred into your account."
"Thanks," Fang Yu said.
Leng Qing raised her cup and took a sip before glancing at Fang Yu.
"I originally thought you only cultivated quickly but were rather timid. Now it seems your courage is unexpectedly huge."
"You even dared involve yourself in matters concerning the Black Vatican."
Fang Yu did not respond.
Capturing Black Vatican members easily led to karmic entanglements and retaliation.
Fortunately, everyone who discovered him had already been captured by him, and no information could leak out, so the problem was not serious.
"How's the progress over on Magic City's side?" Fang Yu changed the subject.
"Everything is progressing in a positive direction. Only a few fugitives remain. There should be results tonight."
At the end of her sentence, Leng Qing stood up and continued.
"I should get going as well. There are still follow-up matters that need handling. I'll take these people away."
"Alright," Fang Yu replied.
Dark clouds still densely covered the skies above this flourishing metropolis, so thick that not even a trace of starlight could shine through.
The city itself was enormous, like the body of a giant. Roads filled with dazzling lights crisscrossed endlessly, while countless red lights flowed through the city like blood circulating within a living body.
Even at midnight, it continued operating, like the ceaseless heartbeat of a giant.
Yet in certain corners, in hidden places difficult to notice, forces clinging to this grand city like parasites, tumors, and vermin were thoroughly purged overnight.
When the morning sun rose the next day and illuminated the land, the filthy aura that once lingered had been cleansed.
It signified the complete end of the Black Vatican incident in Magic City.
And because Fang Yu had contributed significantly during this purge operation, the Tribunal rewarded him with ten million yuan, which could be considered a fairly generous payment.
Two days later.
Magic City coastline.
Fang Yu walked along the seawall, and before his eyes stretched a magnificent and boundless seascape.
Along the shore on the azure seawater and fine white beach, beautiful women in revealing swimsuits displayed their graceful figures as they laughed cheerfully.
Unfortunately, most of them were already wrapped in someone else's embrace, clearly taken.
Looking at the beach, Fang Yu sighed enviously.
"Ah…"
"This kind of life is way better than exhausting myself fighting demons and earning money. But if I want to buy a Galaxy Vein and advance my Space Element to High-Tier, I can only head out in misery."
"What a cursed working life!"
That afternoon, Fang Yu boarded a small single-mast sailboat with a narrow pointed hull, around five meters in length. Passing beyond the Safe Zone, he sailed out into the open sea.
Two days later, aside from countless deserted islands, the only things Fang Yu had encountered were a few Servant-Level demons showing up to make their presence known.
Blue seas, clear skies, and drifting sails.
Just as Fang Yu was lost in thought, bursts of rumbling sounds suddenly came from ahead.
"Buzz buzz~~~"
A pack of Trench Black Demons seemed to have caught the scent of prey and charged toward him at incredible speed.
Each Trench Black Demon was at least five to six meters long, their entire bodies pitch black. On their heads were three sharp spikes resembling barbed daggers, terrifyingly lethal.
"Finally found something. Business is finally open. I've been staring at the ocean for three days, my flowers were practically wilting from waiting!" Fang Yu said excitedly as he looked at the charging Trench Black Demons.
"Telekinesis!"
Brilliant silver radiance burst from Fang Yu's eyes as Space Element power surged from his body. The front row of Trench Black Demons was suddenly swept upward by an invisible force. Space trembled violently before the demons were blasted away.
"Naa naa~~~~~~~"
The Trench Black Demons in the back opened their fish-like mouths and roared furiously at Fang Yu as they continued thrusting toward him.
"Void Wall!"
Space trembled continuously as Fang Yu used his willpower to construct a wall of space.
Countless straight silver lines rapidly extended toward the swarm of Trench Black Demons before abruptly dropping vertically across the sea surface.
Soon, they formed an enormous silver cube that completely trapped the charging Trench Black Demon pack inside before lifting them into the air and suspending them midair.
No matter how powerful sea demons were, once separated from water, they became like birds with broken wings, their strength plummeted.
"Telekinesis · Arrows!"
Threads upon threads of mental force spread outward, gathering seawater into countless arrows that circled continuously around Fang Yu.
The arrows swept downward one after another like executioner axes, producing repeated "swish" sounds as they descended.
The Trench Black Demons suspended in midair were sliced into two piece after piece before falling into the sea below.
After resolving the trouble, Fang Yu originally intended to continue sailing.
"Naa naa~~~~~~~"
Unexpectedly, even more Trench Black Demons leapt out from beneath the sea.
Seeing such a massive group of Trench Black Demons approaching, Fang Yu knew it would be easy for them to pierce through the sailboat.
He immediately manipulated his Telekinetic force again, forming a spatial void Wall barrier around the sailboat for protection. Unless the Trench Black Demons fought with everything they had, it would be extremely difficult for them to break through the barrier and reach the vessel.
"Fighting at sea is such a hassle."
"Little Snow Maiden, come out and relieve some boredom," Fang Yu muttered as he began drawing the Contract Star Map of the Summoning Element.
Before the Star Map was even halfway completed, the Little Snow Maiden crawled out of the Contract Space on her own. Fang Yu had already expected this, so just as the fifth Star Path was about to connect, he cut off the casting.
