Fei Jiao ignored Jiang Li, who was trying to fawn upon him, and went up to Mo Fan.

”I was the one who contacted you, Zhang Xiaohou is my student,” Fei Jiao wore a smile. It was obvious that he had received the latest news from Mo Fan.

”Oh, oh, sorry; I didn't recognize your voice,” Mo Fan smiled awkwardly.

Mo Fan did contact him through the phone, yet to his surprise, the guy looked fairly young despite his aged voice. He was in his thirties, yet he was already the Chief Military Instructor of the Ancient Capital military. This Fei Jiao was definitely no ordinary person!

”It's fine. To be honest, I was quite impressed; no one would dare go there within a year knowing that a Dark Abyss has appeared, but you went, and you even brought my student back...” said Fei Jiao.

”Was? I bet you didn't know an outsider like me had no idea what a Dark Abyss was!” replied Mo Fan.

”HAHAHA! I didn't mean that, but my student didn't mention you only once. His admiration of you greatly surpassed that toward me and other instructors here. But, you're no ordinary person yourself either; I've heard many stories about you,” Fei Jiao extended his hand and gave Mo Fan a friendly handshake.

There were at least forty Magicians in the room, with the majority of them being Intermediate Magicians. There were also a few Advanced Magicians, too. They could not help but wonder who the kid was. Not only did the Councilman know him, even the Chief Military Instructor of the Ancient Capital was complimenting him, yet it seemed like he was only an Intermediate Magician based on his badge!

Mo Fan wore a humble smile, yet he realized that the people nearby were looking at him with envy. He did not dare to chat with Fei Jiao any further and quickly switched the topic to the business at hand.

Fei Jiao took over Zhu Meng's role and explained, ”The second Dark Abyss appeared around a hundred kilometers away from the city. My student was caught in it, and almost lost his life. As for the third time… it was only thirty kilometers away from the outer walls, a place that was still considered the city's outskirts just a little while time ago!”

”It's getting closer every time!” said a Hunter.

”Exactly, every time the Dark Abyss appears, it's closer to our city...”

”Didn't they say the Dark Abyss appears in random places? Could it be a coincidence?” said Zhong Zishan.

”We do hope that it's a coincidence, but considering that it has happened three times in a row, we have the urge to think otherwise,” said the Commander beside Zhu Meng, who had been silent for a long time.

The Commander was mainly responsible for the defense of the outer walls. Every Battlemage on the ten-plus kilometer long northern walls was under his command.

”So you've gathered us here to deal with the Dark Abyss? There's no way we can do anything against it. We're only a bunch of Intermediate Magicians,” said someone.

”The place where Dark Abyss once appeared will have a strong presence of death, so many Warrior-level or Commander-level undead will gather there fairly soon... I hope everyone here will guard the walls tonight. Once the higher-ranked undead show any signs of approaching the walls, you will eliminate them at once!” said Councilman Zhu Meng.

”I don't mind as long as you're not sending us to investigate the Dark Abyss,” said a student.

”Don't worry Councilman, we might not be able to do anything to the Dark Abyss, but we'll surely eliminate the demon beasts trying to stir up chaos when the Dark Abyss appears. It's our job!”

”I'm fine with that, I will guard throughout the night!”

”Count me in!”

”Me too.”
