“Do you understand the consequences of offending the Black Vatican!” a plump Gray Priest yelled at Mo Fan.

“I’ve already heard the same thing more than a hundred times, but I’m still standing here in front of you!” retorted Mo Fan impatiently.

Seriously, these people of the Black Vatican kept saying the same threats over and over again, like an NPC!

Offend them? Mo Fan was planning to wipe them all out!

Mo Fan used the Fleeing Shadow to get closer to the Gray Priest and slammed a Fire Burst right into the plump man’s stomach!

The Gray Priest was quite impressive. He managed to react in time and cast Water Barrier to defend himself. He even summoned his armor equipment as a safety precaution.

The explosion instantly sent him flying, despite him weighing over two hundred pounds.

Before the plump Gray Priest could get back to his feet, he saw lava rising beneath him. The scorching molten fluid erupted around his body in the shape of a stunning flower of death!

The flames of the Groundbreak devoured the Gray Priest mercilessly. His body writhed frantically as it was being burned. The Gray Priest lifted his head and screamed out in pain, like a pig being slaughtered.

“You actually died the quickest death among them all!” said Mo Fan coldly.

Mo Fan walked past the Gray Priest now lying dead on the ground. His scorched corpse was similar to those that had died to the poison. The flames had burned most of his skin and fat away.

Only two left, but the last two Gray Priests had already fled when Mo Fan was busy killing the first two. Mo Fan suddenly looked lost when he set his eyes on the fork in the road ahead.

His destination was the Slanted Hall. Based on Mu Ningxue’s findings and Lingling’s speculation, the queen was most likely in the Slanted Hall. However, he could not tell how far away it was.

“Swift Star Wolf!” Mo Fan swiped a lunar-colored trail through the air and Summoned the Swift Star Wolf to him.

Mo Fan immediately jumped onto the Swift Star Wolf’s back. The creature sniffed the air and quickly picked up the scorched scent of the two Gray Priests that had managed to flee.

The Swift Star Wolf dashed through the dark tunnel at a shocking pace.

In less than five minutes, Mo Fan could already see one of the Gray Priests. It was a woman, her face covered by a piece of cloth. Mo Fan was unable to see it clearly.

The woman kept on running. She was terrified when she saw a wolf lunging at her as she turned around. She immediately fell to the ground.

“Senior of the Enforcement Union, please…please spare my life, I didn’t do anything, I was forced to join them!” The Gray Priestess assumed Mo Fan to be one of the Enforcement Union, and immediately begged for her life. She sounded pitiful, like she was in agony.

“So you’re telling me you’re actually a kind-hearted person?” Mo Fan grinned as he inspected the priestess with a fairly good-looking face.

“Yes, yes…”

Mo Fan stared at her and quickly noticed that she was trying to cast a spell secretly.

If a disciple was telling Mo Fan that, he would hesitate to make the decision. After all, there were cases where people were forced to join the Black Vatican, and were hoping to leave it. However, someone who was already promoted to a Gray Priest had most likely done quite a number of evil deeds. How could Mo Fan possibly believe her?

Mo Fan shook his head helplessly when he saw that the woman was still trying to fight back, “Swift Star Wolf, this woman’s flesh looks tender. She’s yours.”

Before Mo Fan could finish, the Swift Star Wolf pounced onto the priestess. His claws pressed down on her heavily.

The female priest felt dizzy after knocking her head on the floor. She soon felt a great pain from her neck. As everything was going black, she realized her neck had been bitten off by the violent wolf!

The Swift Star Wolf took a few bites and realized that the woman was not as delicious as he initially thought. He spat the disgusting meat out and threw the corpse aside.

“One left, can you pick up his scent?” Mo Fan asked.

The Swift Star Wolf nodded.

The Prayer Hall had been built by the Black Vatican for their members to pray. Apparently, the God of Death could hear their ambitions and wishes in the hall. It helped the members of the Black Vatican boost their faith. Almost every member was told to cleanse their soul and spirit in the Prayer Hall.

“I, Zhou Xian, will definitely make the people of the Zhou Clan pay!” In the Prayer Hall, a tall, skinny, seemingly-sick man with pale skin groaned fiercely. “Senior Salan, please help me fulfill my dream. I’m willing to follow you in this filthy world until my death!”

The man dropped to his knees sincerely. Suddenly, a priest in a gray outfit barged into the hall in a panic.

Zhou Xian turned around and glanced at the disrespectful Gray Priest coldly.

“Do you know who I am talking to? Out!” Zhou Xian’s cold voice was filled with a hint of murderous intent.

Gray Priest Li Kai blurted out, “There’s…there’s an intruder! Senior, the intruder has killed many of our brothers!”

“Are you all a bunch of idiots? How did he manage to find this place?!” cursed Zhou Xian.

“The guy is a very strong Hunter! Should we tell Senior Fang?” asked Li Kai.

“Are you implying that I can’t even deal with a little Hunter when we are slaughtering the whole Golden Battle Hunters like cows and goats? It’s just a Hunter who has gone mad, there’s no need to alert the senior!” Zhou Xian’s pale face had a hint of pride.

“Yes, yes, he should be right behind me, I will face him together with senior…” said Li Kai.

“I don’t need your help, get out of my sight. You will come back later to clean up his corpse. I won’t let him die an easy death,” said Zhou Xian.

Zhou Xian was one of the strongest members of their branch. Li Kai had been running aimlessly to get away from Mo Fan. He just happened to stumble into Zhou Xian.

Even though Zhou Xian was only a probationary Blue Deacon, he was certainly strong enough to be one. The young Hunter was only smug when facing Gray Priests like him. However, against a Blue Deacon like Zhou Xian, he would surely be tortured to death!

Li Kai immediately stepped aside and fixed his eyes on the entrance.

He could hear footsteps approaching. To his surprise, the first thing that came into his vision was a blue wolf with blood covering its mouth, and on its back was none other than the Hunter that had killed his comrades without blinking!

“That’s…that’s him, Senior Zhou Xian!” yelled Li Kai, pointing at Mo Fan.

“It’s just a Summoner!” spat Zhou Xian disdainfully.
