“Someone is coming!” Mu Bai’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the woods.
Mo Fan and Hua Yuezhu followed his gaze. To their surprise, two Mages wearing patrol uniforms came out of the woods before they could hide.
“Who are you?” one of the patrol Mages demanded. He could sense a strong presence from Mo Fan and Mu Bai.
“They are my men. They are reporting to me,” Hua Yuezhu told the high-ranked officer, reacting quickly.
The officer came closer and noticed Hua Yuezhu had a badge on her shoulder. Her rank was also higher than his. He saluted quickly.
“What is this about?” the officer was obviously treating everyone in the mountain with great caution.
Hua Yuezhu frowned.
The officer seemed to be suspicious of them. He had to be a Psychic Mage. Their acting was not going to trick him.
Hua Yuezhu had no choice but to say in a stern voice, “Our General was searching for a suitable spot for the Forbidden Curse. Our superior has already sent out a rescue team, but I was hoping to find people who are familiar with the Bohai Sea to join the rescue operation, so I found them.”
Since their cultivation was not low either, the Psychic Mage would not be able to tell they had other plans in mind just by looking at them.
The officer nodded and said, “Are you referring to General Zhang Xiaohou of the Violet Imperial Battalion? I met him a few days ago. I did hear he was missing. Did you find anything?”
The officer looked at Mo Fan like he was interrogating him. He was indeed suspicious, or he would not be talking to another person.
Hua Yuezhu was going to speak, but she knew it would only make the officer more suspicious if she answered too quickly.
“He’s dead,” Mo Fan replied calmly.
Hua Yuezhu opened her mouth in silence.
“We found his body, but it’s a little difficult to retrieve it,” Mu Bai added.
The officer had a surprised expression. He soon said with a sorry face, “I’m sorry to hear that.”
He shook his head and let out a sigh. He briefly explained how he had met Zhang Xiaohou the first time.
“You two have done well. Please retrieve General Zhang’s remains and give him a proper burial,” the officer patted Mo Fan and Mu Bai’s shoulders apologetically.
“It’s our duty. Don’t you worry,” Mo Fan said firmly.
“It’s getting late. You should all get some rest,” the man sighed. “Even though the military has decided to Cast the Forbidden Curse on the Sea Cliff Peak, General Zhang’s contributions cannot go unnoticed. His sacrifice is honorable, just like Advisor Zheng Wu, who failed to retreat in time,” the officer said.
The three did not say another word, as the officer had already let them go. They were in a hurry.
The Giant Clock Mountain had strict security and was using magic Barriers. Someone had already come to question them as they were having a secret discussion at the bottom of the mountain. It was likely there were more security measures they did not know about on the mountain.
Luckily, they had managed to trick the officer, or the plan would have failed before it even began. After all, the officer was a Psychic Mage. If they messed up even a little, the officer would easily see through their lie!

Hua Yuezhu let out a relieved sigh. She was already soaked in cold sweat.
Mu Bai raised his thumb at Mo Fan. It was brilliant that he had used Zhang Xiaohou’s shocking ‘death’ to end the interrogation.
He wondered what Zhang Xiaohou would think when he heard about it. It was probably like a grandfather going looking for his grandson at a school, but the class teacher told the grandfather his grandson was absent because he was attending his grandfather’s funeral!
“Who was the other guy that the officer mentioned?” Mo Fan asked.
“You mean Zheng Wu? He was stuck in the Forbidden Curse’s Gravitational Vortex after he helped his team escape. The Forbidden Curse is unstoppable, so even though he’s still alive, he will still most likely die to the Forbidden Curse,” Hua Yuezhu said.
“Oh,” Mo Fan nodded. He suddenly asked, “What is the Gravitational Vortex?”
Hua Yuezhu looked at Mo Fan. She did not understand why General Zhang Xiaohou had assigned an ignorant man to do such an important job. They might get themselves killed considering what they were going to do!
Not only were their lives in danger, it would also affect their standing. They might be sentenced to treason!
The knowledgeable Mu Bai knew a little about the Gravitational Vortex. He briefly explained what it was to Mo Fan along the way.
“I see. Does it mean the other two are dead for sure if we don’t stop the Forbidden Curse?” Mo Fan asked slowly.
“Mm, and it’s going to be tricky to retrieve their remains,” Mu Bai nodded.
Hua Yuezhu brought them to a crossroad and pointed at one of the paths.
She was about to say something, but visibly changed her mind, as if she had made a sudden decision. She said, “Forget it, that officer has already seen us together. If you two are caught, they will hold me responsible too. I’ll go with you!”
“You don’t trust us?” Mo Fan asked her directly.
“That’s right!”
Mo Fan was left speechless.
On the other hand, they would have higher odds of achieving their goals if Hua Yuezhu joined them.
Mo Fan sincerely did not want Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Manyan to die to the Forbidden Curse. It would be too difficult to retrieve their corpses!


A place with several cliffs facing the sea had been chosen as the target for the Forbidden Curse.
The sea stacks rose from the sea a great distance above the surface. Some of them were hundreds of feet high.
Night had already fallen, and a thin mist covered the area. The sea stacks looked like the buildings of a dark city from afar.
“Those cliffs must be very sturdy, being able to withstand the waves,” Zhao Manyan observed.
Several other troops had been given the same mission as Zhang Xiaohou’s troop. They were all from different special forces.
Zhang Xiaohou’s Violet Imperial Battalion had failed its mission, thus the military had set the target for the Forbidden Curse as a nest of the Dragon King Krill another troop had discovered.
“The cliffs are made of Hardened Salt Rocks. Not only are they not corroded by the tide, they will absorb the salt of the sea and grow out of the surface like bamboo shoots,” Zhang Xiaohou explained.
Places with these special Hardened Salt Rocks were most likely crawling with an enormous number of Dragon King Krill!
