Versatile Mage

The Ocean Demons had threatened every base city.

This included the Flying Bird Base City. The traces of the Emperor-level creatures were discovered on the offshore many times.

The Magic City had experienced the Black Alert once. No one knew when it would be the Flying Bird Base City’s turn.

Every base city was on guard. They saw the Ocean Demons’ true forms from the Magic City battle. The Ocean Demons were much more powerful than they had expected!

The Flying Bird Base City was not fully established like the Magic City. The city lacked foundation and did not have sufficient reserves of powerful Mages. It lacked top combat groups such as the Magic Association, the Forbidden Curse Association, the Super-level Union, and the Advanced Army.

If the Cold Moon Demon Lord and its Ocean Demon army were to sweep away the Flying Bird Base City, the city would not stand a chance.

Perhaps the Cold Moon Demon Lord did not show even the slightest interest in this newly constructed base city. It was aware that the Magic City and Imperial Capital were the important ones.

Even so, the Flying Bird Base City was not peaceful. After all, the number of Ocean Demons that appeared in the South Ocean were as many as in the East Ocean. The Flying Bird Base City was the city hub between the East Ocean and South Ocean.

With the Magic City battle over, the people in the Flying Bird Base City trembled in fear. Without the Magic City’s support, could the newly constructed base city truly survive the attack of the Ocean Demons?

Some of the citizens had attempted to migrate to another city. The Ocean Demons devoured human flesh. None of them dared to risk their lives and stay here in the city. Most of the people staying in the Flying Bird Base City were foreigners. They did not feel very attached to this city.

However, some of the people who had migrated decided to return. The condition they had stayed in was poor. The weather was icy and resources were scarce.

The icy coldness had not only affected them, but it also caused the crops to freeze. The river surface was frozen. There were also transportation issues.

Warm places had their advantages. Moreover, the Ocean Demons on the mainland had become ferocious due to the extreme cold. The city was under constant alert.

Regardless of whether they stayed on the mainland or along the coast, they faced the same problem. Those who often migrated realized this issue. The same happened everywhere, including countries overseas.

…

They had been living in fear for several months.

The Flying Bird Base City had been struck heavily several times. Still, it managed to hold back the attack. The Ocean Union officer mentioned that many Ocean Demon hordes appeared and hibernated with the seasonal change.

The following season would cause a certain level of hindrance to the Ocean Demon horde’s movement regardless of whether it was the tide or the ocean current. Therefore, they were able to enjoy some peace along the coast in these three months.

The inference was from the experts, but most people did not fully trust their words. The Flying Bird Base City did not let down their guard. The frequency of the Ocean Demon attack had reduced.

Meanwhile, Mo Fan practiced his cultivation behind closed doors.

Likewise, Mu Ningxue focused on her cultivation. The collection of the final pieces of the Ice Crystal Bow was completed. The Soul Power from the shattered pieces could improve her cultivation by leaps and bounds. On top of that, she could finally use her completed Ice Crystal Bow!

She had reached a bottleneck for her cultivation. It would be meaningless if she continued to cultivate further.

She walked to the courtyard and felt that the air in Fanxue Mountain was no longer as icy cold as before. Some unknown wildflowers bloomed into bushes.

If this were the past, the current season would either be summer or spring. However, they had winter throughout these days.

…

When she came to the council hall, it was empty. She saw an envelope. There was a coat of arms woven in gold silk on the surface. It looked familiar, but Mu Ningxue could not recall what the symbol meant.

The envelope had her name on it.

Mu Ningxue opened it and took out a letter. It resembled an invitation card from Queen Elizabeth. It read:

[China Fanxue Mountain—Mu Ning Xue

The Intercontinental Magic Association does not simply send out invitations to the Mages. The Five Continents Magic Association Alliance respects every mage, and we trust that they are given freedom.

However, we encountered an unresolved issue in the middle of executing a great plan. We require the help of a unique Ice Element mage like yourself. Please accept our invitation. We hope you share similar concerns as us in this time of global crisis.

Regards, The Five Continents Magic Association Alliance]

Mu Ningxue finally understood. The letter came from the Intercontinental Magic Association and the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance. This suggested that the Five Continents Magic Association Alliance was in the middle of executing a far-reaching plan together but had encountered some obstacles during the process.

Mu Ningxue was puzzled. ‘Why did they choose her?’

The Five Continents Magic Association Alliance was an international alliance. And she was not the only outstanding Ice Element mage in the world. Why her?

“Come in, please. We’ve heard of your stories circulating in our community. We never expected to have such an outstanding mage in the country. You look much younger than we expected,” Mu Linsheng’s voice rose from outside the door.

When he entered, he saw Mu Ningxue on the main seat with the special letter. He looked delighted.

“Have you finished your cultivation?”

“Yes,” Mu Ningxue responded, fixing her gaze on the person Mu Linsheng brought in.

That person wore unique red clothing, adorned with complete accessories. He gave off an imposing aura at a single glance.

Mu Ningxue found the person to be familiar. After Mu Linsheng introduced him to her, she realized that the person was none other than the famous Fire Element Forbidden Mage.

He was Wei Guang, the newly promoted Forbidden Mage.

He was an expert under the Magic City Underground Barrier Plan. He had destroyed the leader of the Deep-Sea Lizard Demon Dragon and had its army flee to the ocean.

He cultivated Fire Element magic and achieved the Forbidden Curse. He quickly comprehended the independent Forbidden Curse principles. Many old Mages had not been able to complete the Forbidden Curse spell independently. Wei Guang’s appearance made them break out in a cold sweat. Still, his presence represented the country’s Forbidden Curse force.

Wei Guang sized Mu Ningxue up. “I supposed you’ve read the letter. The Forbidden Curse Association assigned me to meet with you.”

“But I still don’t understand.” Mu Ningxue was still confused.

“The crusade against the Extreme South Emperor is real. The Five Continents Magic Association Alliance are in the Antarctic Continent. My team and I will escort you there,” said Wei Guang.

“The Antarctic?” Mu Ningxue frowned.
