Chapter 8

When the power of lightning appeared, Mu Zhuoyun was already standing there in a daze.

Mu Zhuoyun stood there in a daze, looking at all the guests who were amazed by Mo Fan, watching the major forces tearing each other apart for this young Mo Fan, and then looking at the mage standing on the dueling platform, controlling both lightning and fire. This grand coming-of-age ceremony had turned into a day of Mo Fan's sensational impact on Bocheng! He was not willing to accept it. Losing this magical duel meant that he, Mu Zhuoyun, would have to apologize to the father and son in front of all the distinguished guests!

Moreover, this magical competition was also related to the training quota for the Earth Holy Spring! Thinking about this, Mu Zhuoyun felt something churning violently in his chest, and his blood pressure soared!

......

Ye Zhenghong called Zhang Xiaohou and left first. He felt quite close to Zhang Xiaohou, and the girl Zhou Min beside him was also quite nice. As for Xu Zhaoting, his face looked as if he had been poisoned... Ah, better stay away from him. He must have been hit hard by Mo Fan's third-level lightning seal, and who knows when he might explode!

Mo Fan had truly become a celebrity, really famous in this small Bocheng. However, he believed that Mo Fan would not be confined to such a small town. He would eventually go to a big city to develop, otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of his innate talent?

He also needed to practice hard... This trip was not in vain, as he had actually met someone with the same innate talent... Moreover, the other party was going to the Earth Holy Spring for training, which was said to be a paradise for breakthroughs. Perhaps when Mo Fan came out, he would also be a mid-level mage like himself!

Yes, the next goal after returning to school is to practice hard... Ah, he had only been out for a few days, and going back so soon would be a huge loss. He might as well wait until Mo Fan finished his training and say goodbye before leaving. After all, Mo Fan would only train for a week, and he quite enjoyed the comfortable feeling of this small southern city.

......

It had been four days since Mo Fan entered the Earth Holy Spring for training.

These days, Ye Zhenghong fully demonstrated his "homebody" attribute, as he found nowhere to go! He couldn't go to the Mu family estate without being kicked out, and he didn't have Zhang Xiaohou's address... So, staying in the small hotel was quite enjoyable, why did he feel so miserable before?

Today, he lay in bed with his eyes half-closed, enjoying the comfort of lying in bed, doing nothing, and simply closing his eyes. It gave a feeling of infinite relaxation...

Today, his mind was always in a daze, his eyelids kept twitching, as if something bad was about to happen.

When Ye Zhenghong opened his eyes, he found the room was dim... Was it evening? Why were the lights in the corridor not on? Could they be so stingy with a little money? He rubbed his nose, stood up, and pulled the curtains. He found that there was light outside... But when he pulled the curtains, he saw an extremely strange scene. The sky above Bocheng seemed to be covered with a faint red glow. Ye Zhenghong widened his eyes in disbelief and confirmed it again!

The warning light! This was the city's warning light! And this bright red color was clearly not the first-level orange warning... It was a blood-red warning! Ye Zhenghong, of course, recognized this blood-red light. This magical knowledge was known even to ordinary people. But he had never thought he would encounter a blood-red warning. Although Ye Zhenghong, who had grown up in the capital, had become a mid-level mage, he had never seen a real demon before!

It was impossible for any demon to attack the heavily guarded capital, even a sovereign-level demon would not return. Ye Zhenghong didn't know what to think. His first trip out of the capital to this small Bocheng had led him to encounter a blood-red warning, a demon attack! It was luckier than winning the lottery!

The warning light had probably been on for a while. Countless ordinary people ran out of their homes, heading towards the safety barrier set up in the city center. In such a critical moment, even a minute's delay could mean death...

Ye Zhenghong looked towards the street and saw several one-eyed demon wolves. They were chasing humans like prey, killing them like a cat playing with a mouse! Blood stained the end of the street, and countless people were terrified, screaming in agony!

Ye Zhenghong's mind went blank. He had never thought humans could be so helpless. If demons had entered the streets, it meant that the city's military mages outside were powerless to stop them. Relying solely on the city's demon-hunting team could not solve this problem. The only way to survive was to retreat to the safety barrier!

Right, where was Mo Fan? Was he still training in the Earth Holy Spring? The commercial area would soon be occupied by demons. He had to find him quickly! After all, Mo Fan was the first friend he had made outside, and he couldn't just watch him die. He probably didn't know what was happening outside... Ye Zhenghong did not go to deal with the few one-eyed demon wolves on the street. He himself didn't know if he could still cast magic if he really got close to the demons. Just watching from a distance gave him a sense of fear...

He jumped directly out of the window, completely ignoring the people around him who were somewhat stunned. He activated the wind track and rushed towards the Silver Trade Building. There weren't many demons in this direction yet!

At a street corner, a blood-stained billboard lay on the ground. Several city demon-hunting team mages were surrounding a warlord-level three-eyed demon wolf, and there were several one-eyed demon wolves and torn human mage corpses scattered around.

"Don't come this way, run! There's a warlord-level demon wolf here!" As soon as Ye Zhenghong appeared, a wind mage who was on lookout among the demon-hunting team mages shouted at him.

Ye Zhenghong also saw the massive body of the three-eyed demon wolf, which was as large as the surrounding three-story buildings. The fire spells of several fire mages couldn't even hurt it!

This was the first time he had seen a truly murderous warlord demon up close. Ye Zhenghong felt his body stiffen. He had seen similar demons before, as many powerful summoning mages in the capital had summoned demons, and he had even secretly watched a sovereign-level demon. However, those summoned demons, which did not show any hostility, seemed like powerful mages to him, only causing him great pressure due to his weak cultivation...

He watched the wind mage get distracted by warning him and get killed by the three-eyed demon wolf with a single palm strike on the roof! He bit his lip, and the pain spread throughout his body, finally dispelling the fear.

Ye Zhenghong stared intently at the three-eyed demon wolf. He didn't want to be a useless person who just ate and waited to die. At this moment, he realized that cultivation alone was far from enough! The initial-level demon-hunting mages in front of him were fighting the three-eyed demon wolf to buy time for ordinary people, even though their cultivation couldn't hurt it at all, they never gave up...

He didn't remember who said it, but the reason for hard cultivation was because there were so many things worth protecting! True despair began with giving up hope, so we must never give up!!

Did these demon-hunting mages have no families, no loved ones, no children? As a mage, why should he live a life of cowardice for himself? Why not try to face this responsibility? Isn't a mage's duty to fight demons and protect others?!
