My teacher is a deity.

Chapter 30 Citywide Manhunt

at the same time.

In the Green Valley Underground City.

Mansa slowly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

She touched her right side, which was still a writhing mass of flesh, and the intense pain constantly stimulated her nerves.

"Damn Starry Night Witch, I knew that bitch would betray me!"

"She was a traitor before, a leopard can't change its spots!"

Mansa's curses echoed in the hollow.

At that moment, a flower made of flesh and blood bloomed at her feet, and a phantom appeared from the bud.

Mansa was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt down on one knee.

"bishop."

"Ha, so now you remember me, the bishop?"

Mansa's heart tightened, and just as she was about to explain, the Shadow Bishop waved his hand, interrupting her confession.

"But in urgent situations, one must act expediently. I don't blame you, and you did a good job by triggering the scourge ahead of time, thus helping Sargeras out of his predicament."

But there's one thing I don't understand: how did you know they were fishing today?

My informant didn't mention this information to you.

Mansa felt a chill run down her spine, and her wariness of the bishop increased even more.

Even while engaged in a duel with Ryan, he still had the capacity to gather intelligence from the outside world and control the direction of the Blood Demon's advance.

Thinking of this, Mansa dared not hide anything any longer and honestly told everyone what had happened in the night.

"Actually, we didn't discover their plan."

"Someone of them infiltrated Night City beforehand and attacked our people."

Soon, the Shadow Bishop learned everything that had happened in Night City.

But after a moment's thought, he immediately rejected Mansa's guess.

"No, I'm watching them through the eyes of the Law Knights."

"Night City has a bloodline barrier; only vampires can reach Night City by following their bloodline connection."

"The people in Gem City are very arrogant. They would never reveal information about the Night City to the Knights of Law unless absolutely necessary."

"They're also eyeing this place."

Mansa was dumbfounded; only then did she realize this fatal flaw.

But if they didn't attack Night City, then who was behind this?

"Ha, it seems there's still a bird lurking in the shadows, watching us."

The bishop smiled and looked at Mansa again.

"Don't worry about it, I'll get my eyes checked."

"I'm giving you a new task now. If you do well, I'll let you succeed me."

"Vichy Ellef, you have to find her for me."

Vichy Ellef?

That person who seems to be divinely inspired?

Could it be that the Blood Demon is having problems and urgently needs a replacement?

Mansa had many questions in her mind, but the bishop interrupted her thoughts.

"no."

"Edith posted a bounty of 10,000 gold on her today. There must be something wrong with that."

"I want to know which ancestor she received the gift from; you'd better bring her over to our side."

"Do you understand?"

Mansa felt a surge of warmth in her heart and quickly nodded, "I will definitely complete the mission!"

The bishop nodded slightly, and the flesh and blood bud instantly disintegrated, the phantom disappearing without a trace.

......

A few days later.

In a secluded spot at the border.

Shi Qing slowly released his divine sense, covering the area within several kilometers.

In recent days, life activity around the dungeon has become increasingly frequent.

Just as he had told Vichy before, this place was no longer suitable for asceticism.

But now that things have come to this, it would be unreasonable to even suggest relocation.

Not to mention that there are puppets and magic arrays everywhere outside the pass, a large number of superhumans have been organized by the authorities into a cohesive force, and are patrolled and investigated in an organized manner.

Let's talk about something more practical.

Only 30% of the money he had previously acquired in the arena remained.

If we leave the Green Valley Underground City, it will probably be even more difficult to obtain cultivation resources.

"Vichy, can you still move?"

"Oh? Of course, I'm much better!"

Vichy immediately stood up, startled, as his wounds began to throb again. Although he was stubborn, his physical condition did not lie.

"You can't even lift a hammer."

Shi Qing shook his head, deep in thought.

"You've reached the early stage of Qi Refining. Let's move on to the middle level of the dungeon."

"oh oh."

Vichy wasn't entirely surprised by the result.

A few days ago, Shi Qing had talked to me about where we would travel next.

After much deliberation, the teacher ultimately decided to continue descending into the underground city.

They say it's the darkest place under the lamp, and although continuing to descend is dangerous, the middle level of the underground city would actually be a better choice than the chaotic outside world.

Vichy didn't quite understand these intricacies, but he was sure his teacher was right.

Just as she was about to pick up the package and leave the camp, Shi Qing tossed her a cloak.

"Cover yourself up well, don't let anyone else know you're here."

"?"

Vichy was puzzled, but he obediently put it on anyway.

Soon, she understood why Shi Qing had done this.

Once outside the hiding place, the outside suddenly became noisy, unlike the tranquility before.

She looked up and saw that the dilapidated market had been renovated and was now bustling with adventurers trading, a world apart from what it used to be.

Vishi was bewildered. Looking up, he saw a war mercenary posting on the mission board in the distance, with very high prices.

"Teacher, perhaps we could take on a mission like them?"

"Oh, are you sure? Then let's go take a look."

Vichy was puzzled, but upon closer inspection, he discovered a very familiar portrait in the upper right corner of the bulletin board.

It's mine...

"A bounty of ten thousand gold coins?!"

"I?"

Vishi was dumbfounded. The adventurers around him heard the commotion and looked over, casually remarking.

"Hey, stop looking! This girl is probably hiding somewhere, you won't find her."

"Exactly, I don't know why the commander of the city defense forces insisted on finding her."

"Hey, it's not just the city defense forces, I heard from some friends that the Child of Shadows is also looking for her."

Vichy felt increasingly uneasy as he listened, so he quickly retreated and ran away.

"Heh, are you happy? You've become a big celebrity."

"Teacher, please stop teasing me."

Vichy muttered to himself, finally understanding why the teacher was so low-key; being watched was definitely not a good thing.

Thinking of this, she quickened her pace and hurried toward the entrance to the underground city.

This time, she could no longer smell that strange blood near the entrance to the underground city, nor did she see those floating corpses again.

Upon closer reflection, it must have been the Children of Shadows who had taken matters into their own hands and hidden the night away.

Otherwise, if she makes a report, another wave of people could achieve financial freedom.

Shaking his head to clear his mind of all the random thoughts, Vichy followed the group downhill.

Before long, a cliff appeared before us, from which a huge stone pillar grew, connecting various caves in all directions.

Vichy picked up the free map, looked at it for a while, and realized that this was the descending fissure.

According to the teacher's plan, she now urgently needs to find magical materials for bone tempering and blood quenching.

After a moment's thought, Vichy leaped down and jumped into a black cave.

Some daring adventurers had already ventured into the black cave to explore, but they quickly retreated; it seemed to be an entire adventure group.

They were covered in slime and showed signs of strong corrosion. Several of them even collapsed on the ground and were pulled out by their colleagues to save them from dying inside.

Seeing that Vichy was also trying to force his way in, they hurriedly advised him against it:

"You're a Sentinel too? Stop looking around, it's dangerous here. There are Tier 2 monsters in there, and some mutated ones too."

"What kind of things are there?"

"They're all gregarious plant monsters, too dangerous. Let's leave them to the city defense forces."

Vichy shook her head; she had come to find the plant monster to refine pills for Shi Qing.

The adventurers were about to scold her for being ungrateful when a middle-aged man suddenly walked out.

"Friend, if you really want to go in, could you help us finish drawing the map?"

We haven't drawn the center yet; there's a giant Aomori python there.

"You can have half of the bounty; it's fifty gold."
