Versatile Mage: Starting with the White Tiger Pendant Chapter 234: Class Reunion? A Hongmen Banquet!

Lu Jun and his group were arranged to stay in an official inn in the outer city.

It served both as bait and as surveillance.

Currently, the complete intel about the Dark Abyy was known only to Lu Jun and his companions, plus Han Ji. If it leaked out, they wouldn't be able to lure out the Black Vatican.

In fact, they had been running around and had ventured deep into the Undead Forbidden Zone, and were already exhausted.

But tonight was a crucial mont. No one complained or dared to let their guard down. They just took brief naps in the morning and stayed ntally alert the rest of the ti.

Even Xiao Hou and He Yu, after reuniting, only exchanged a few affectionate words before focusing on the task at hand.

They were all soldiers seeing their partners safe was enough. No need for mushy stuff.

Lu Jun, anwhile, was on the side settling the white-haired youth Lu Weixi. He examined the enormous Light Elent energy within the boy and curled his lips in a satisfied smile.

What a pleasant surprise—this was the third thod of suppression. The chances of sealing and containing the ancient King Armor Robe had just increased.

He considered that letting Lu Weixi manage such a vast energy was a pipe dream, so it might be better to have him release it all, let it settle for a few years, and then reassess.

Truly a win-win solution.

Lu Weixi sensed Lu Jun's fervent gaze and instinctively clutched his body, obediently saying, "Brother Lu, I don't need your help—I can take care of myself."

"All right, handle it your way."

Lu Jun knew the boy had just lost his family and had also learned of his terminal illness. He was emotionally drained and in no mood to talk, so Lu Jun tactfully left.

At that mont, a commotion arose outside.

Everyone looked through the window and saw bustling citizens in long queues, traffic flowing endlessly. They imdiately understood—this was an evacuation under the guise of a drill.

Upon seeing this, Lu Jun rubbed his chin, wondering if the Black Vatican mbers like deacon Mu He would take the bait.

Co to think of it, after capturing Asharia he still wanted to apprehend Mu He.

Unfortunately, Mu He had already been gone a long ti. He was very cautious and had left no traces behind. Being a high-level mage in the Psychic, Curse, and Wind Elents, he excelled at stealth.

Lu Jun shook his head and then sensed the surroundings. He detected several concealed, formidable auras lurking nearby.

Han Ji had deployed the Ancient Capital's Guard Mage Corps around here. Every Guard Mage was at least an Advanced-level a true sky-net formation.

At this mont, Mo Fan ca in after taking a phone call and said, "Mu Bai just called. He wants us to attend a class reunion. His uncle is Mu He. Do you think there's sothing fishy about this?"

Hearing this, Lu Jun shook his head and replied, "I'm not sure either. But you can suggest they co here instead. We have more space here, and it's inconvenient for us to go out anyway."

"True." Mo Fan fell into thought. "Whether Mu Bai is Black Vatican or not, it'd still be inviting the enemy into our net."

Mu Bai was easy to talk to. They were all in the outer city, not too far apart.

Not long after, Mu Bai, Zhou Min, Zhao Kun, and a few other old high school classmates arrived.

Lu Jun nodded slightly, but suddenly caught sight of a familiar yet unfamiliar beastly and muscular man.

Zhu Ji Ming had just entered from outside. He snorted discontentedly and said, "Zhou classmate, I'd like to know who's got such a big face to make us co here. We were just at the city wall, making friends through magic and resisting the undead. It's a bea—"

Halfway through his sentence, he froze, staring blankly at Lu Jun.

Zhou Min looked slightly embarrassed but also carried a bit of reserved pride. She said, "Sorry, this is Senior Zhu from the Ancient Capital University top student of the Curse Departnt, ranked on the Undead Slayer List."

"I was originally going to hunt undead with him, but then this reunion ca up. I squeezed in so ti to co here."

Mo Fan and Mu Bai frowned slightly at Zhu Ji Ming's words they were clearly displeased but didn't voice it.

Zhu Ji Ming imdiately bowed and laughed awkwardly at Lu Jun, saying, "My bad, I spoke too loudly. I'll slap myself!"

Lu Jun looked at Zhu Ji Ming with interest, nearly scaring the beastly guy into kneeling.

"Little Ji Ji, doing pretty well for yourself here in the Ancient Capital, huh?"

He smiled maliciously as he spoke.

Hearing that mocking nickna, Zhu Ji Ming didn't dare be careless. He half-bowed and said, "Not at all, I pale in comparison to God Lu."

"Is that so?"

Lu Jun's gaze was deep and thoughtful, but he didn't dwell on it.

At the class reunion, Mo Fan, Zhang Xiaohou, and Mu Bai were all present. The group chatted late into the night, as if past grudges were washed away with laughter.

The disaster in Bo City had truly opened their eyes, and now they had moved to the Ancient Capital—a place that danced with demons.

They knew humanity was in a dire situation. With a broader view, they no longer clung to petty disputes.

Mu Bai was the first to apologize. "I was wrong back then. After coming to the Ancient Capital to make a living, I realized how hard it is for grassroots mages. I nearly ruined your future."

Then Mo Fan chuckled. "Don't worry about it. That's long since cleared up. The Stardust Device you used back then it was broken, right? Yep! I was the one who ssed with it."

Mu Bai's expression shifted rapidly, turning pale and dark in turns.

He'd been scared out of his mind that ti, scolded harshly by the family, and in the end, his mother had to enter "Uncle" Mu He's room to resolve the issue.

At the ti, he hadn't known the truth, and it felt like a thunderbolt struck him. Furious beyond words, he'd wanted to chop off Mu He's dog head. That feeling of powerlessness was etched deep in his mory.

Fortunately, Mu He later explained he was Mu Bai's biological father.

Even so, Mu Bai's feelings toward this "father" were extrely complicated.

"Hahaha." The two exchanged glances and both burst into laughter. After laughing, they each silently cursed the other: "Two-faced bastard!" / "Dumbass!"

Seeing this, Lu Jun, never one to shy away from stirring trouble, egged them on for more drama.

Night deepened, wine flowed freely, and everyone was thoroughly tipsy.

Suddenly, Lu Jun looked toward the window and said calmly, "Since you're here, there's no need to cower."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! As he spoke, the entire hotel began to shake. Layers upon layers of transparent light shimred in the air, like overlapping dinsions. The blurred reflections made the edges of the building appear rough and jagged.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Outside, the muffled thumps of collapsing bodies rang out—those were the stationed Mages falling unconscious one by one.

The main door swung open. Mu He entered, his blue robe fluttering. Behind him followed seven or eight Blue-Clothed Deacons and dozens of Gray-Robed Priests.

In the darkness beyond, countless shadow beasts darted and flickered. Green, glowing eyes lit up the night hundreds of them at least accompanied by a choking stench of decay.

Zhou Min, Zhao Kunsan, and the others stirred in a daze, opening their eyes and asking in confusion, "What's going on?"

Urgh! Then the foul sll hit them, and they nearly threw up the food they'd just eaten.

Mo Fan's body jolted upright like a carp flip, no sign of his earlier drunkenness. He stared solemnly at the entrance and said in a low voice, "They're here."

Beside him, Mu Bai clearly reacted faster than the others, even though he was equally in the dark.

At that mont, Mu Bai said in shock, "This aura... the Bo City Disaster... you're Black Church?!"

Wait! He saw the man in front and trembled uncontrollably.

"You... Mu He, why?!"

Chief Deacon Mu He looked at his son with a soft gaze, then turned to Lu Jun with murderous intent in his eyes.
