Versatile Mage: God-level sign-in, finally becoming a forbidden spell

Chapter 235 The Invitation from Hua Zhanhong, the Military Governor of the Southern District, and Ai

Inside the secret chamber, Zu Qingyun looked at the impenetrable shadow barrier around him, clearly indicating that this place had been prepared in advance.

"Qingyun, there are no outsiders here, and I don't like being as fussy as a woman. Shao Zheng has already told me about your successful fusion with the demon element. I hope you can join our team to fight against the Emperor-level demons."

Upon hearing Hua Zhanhong's words, Zu Qingyun's face showed an expression of utter ignorance.

"Uncle Hua, please don't flatter me. How could I possibly do that?"

But before he could finish speaking, he saw Hua Zhanhong's serious expression.

"That old man Shao Zheng is so unreliable. If this gets back to Su Lu and the Parthenon, they'll probably tear our ancestral home apart."

Upon hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Hua Zhanhong's eyes twitched slightly.

"Don't worry, I'm here on behalf of the entire Chinese military. Judging from the combat power you displayed at the Parthenon, I think your strength after demonization should have been able to touch the level of a minor emperor. Now, I think with your full mastery of all eight super-levels, your strength after demonization should be stable at the emperor level."

Hearing his words, Zu Qingyun rolled her eyes at him.

"You've calculated my strength so clearly. I bet you were involved in activating the demon-type Blood Droplets back then, Uncle Hua, weren't you?"

Hua Zhanhong did not shirk responsibility when Zu Qingyun inquired.

"That's right. I was the one who initially developed the demon-type Blood Droplet, but after learning about its uncontrollable factors, I ordered the experiment to be terminated."

"However, I did not expect that some lower-ranking military officers would continue to conduct experiments with the Flying Guillotine in secret, which led to a series of tragedies."

At this point, a hint of disappointment appeared in Hua Zhanhong's eyes. After all, this was because their superiors had not been strict enough in their investigations; otherwise, such a secret experiment would not have occurred.

He quickly added, "Regarding the matter between Su Lu and the Parthenon, we will step in to mediate for you. If mediation fails, we will also take matters into our own hands to deal with the other party." At this moment, an extremely terrifying and murderous aura emanated from Hua Zhanhong.

"I don't care about myself. I just hope you can help me protect the Zu family. After all, although Su Lu has three forbidden spells, he can't possibly restrain me after I've become a demon. I'm just afraid that he and the Parthenon Temple will target the Zu family."

"Furthermore, as far as I know, demons are considered heretics in the Holy City and the Inquisition. Do you think that even if I help the country win the Siren War, those corrupt officials will let go of a potential threat like me hiding in human society after the war?"

In Zu Qingyun's view, Hua Zhanhong's idea was ultimately just his own opinion. The Mage Association had already done this kind of thing once before, back in the era of the Totem Beasts.

As a result, the totem beasts fought desperately to stop the invasion of the sea monster kingdom, which brought a century of prosperity to human society.

But after hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Hua Zhanhong revealed a meaningful smile.

“If we can really win this war against the siren, all the officers of my Southern Military District will stand behind you, and the Asian Magicians Association will also stand behind you.”

"Those unambitious and stubborn old folks should step down from the stage of history."

Hearing his words, Zu Qingyun was quite surprised. It was clear that his Uncle Hua was probably already unhappy with the old-fashioned stubbornness of the current high-ranking members of the Magicians' Association.

"Since Uncle Hua has said so much, it would seem ungrateful of me not to help."

It's important to understand that Hua Zhanhong's promise to him was already very clear, and the fact that Shao Zheng told Hua Zhanhong about it precisely proves Shao Zheng's attitude towards him. The deeper meaning: After the victory in the Siren War, Zu Qingyun has the right to secretly execute those high-ranking officials who gossip behind his back, and the state will not pursue the matter.

"In that case, keep this communicator with you at all times, so I can contact you immediately if anything happens."

Hua Zhanhong then placed a Nokia phone, about half the size of his palm, in Zu Qingyun's hand. It had only two buttons: a green button to connect and a red button to hang up.

"It seems a Neptune skeleton at the Supreme Monarch level has appeared in Shanghai. If you don't have anything else to do, go and help deal with it. I have some urgent matters to attend to here."

As the dark sky disappeared, Hua Zhanhong hurriedly left.

Just as he was thinking of going back to rest for a while, the phone rang again. Upon closer inspection, it was Ai Tutu calling.

"Hey, big rabbit TuTu, are you home yet?"

Zu Qingyun had informed Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu in advance and asked them to persuade the students in the academy to migrate to the north. Although he knew that everyone would scoff before the disaster happened, he wanted to save as many as possible.

However, after Zu Qingyun finished speaking, Ai Tutu remained silent for a long time without responding.

Soon, a weak voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Qingqingyun, would you believe me if I said I was a step too late and got left in Shanghai?"

Do you believe it?

Believe it or not?

Do not?

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

"Qingyun, I know I was wrong. I should have left with Sister Mu. I shouldn't have."

But before she could finish speaking, Zu Qingyun was trying to calm her suddenly elevated blood pressure.

"Where are you right now? At the international airport in Shanghai or at a prestigious university?"

Hearing Zu Qingyun's words, Ai Tutu felt extremely guilty.

"I am now back at Mingzhu Academy, with my teachers."

Above the clouds, Zu Qingyun sat atop the head of Xiao Jin, a five-clawed golden dragon speeding across the sky. Xiao Jin's flight speed was so fast that it could match the speed at which Zu Qingyun himself traveled by constantly casting spatial magic.

Zu Qingyun can now clearly sense that Xiao Jin is about to enter its true maturity stage, and he believes that it will not be long before its strength leaps from that of a supreme monarch to that of an emperor-level demon.

Looking down at the mountains rushing past, Zu Qingyun could already vaguely see the Oriental Pearl Tower.

But at that moment, his phone rang again.

"Hey, Qingyun, my brother and I have been assigned to the Shanghai border defense force. Do you want to come and protect your weak, pitiful, and helpless sister?"

Hearing Jiang Shaoxu's slightly playful voice, Zu Qingyun sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. (End of Chapter)
