Mo Fan soon contacted the leader of the Golden Battle Hunters. Ge Ming gladly accepted him into the group.

Mo Fan learned from Ge Ming that they were not bringing everyone from the Hunter Group to the Taklamakan Desert. Mere numbers would not make a difference when they were visiting such a dangerous place. They were only choosing the elite and experienced Hunters.

The team consisted of twelve people. Ge Ming was a Super Mage, while the others were all Advanced Mages.

Mo Fan was quite relieved after hearing Ge Ming's explanation. Bringing a huge group sounded impressive, as they could just blast every demon creature they encountered with magic. Unfortunately, the numbers of the demon creatures were in the hundreds or thousands of times the number of human mages. Even if the government sent out a whole army, it had no chance of eliminating the demon creatures in the outer part of the Taklamakan Desert, let alone a Hunter Group...

”Mu Ningxue is too busy; we'll have to find another person to look after you,” Mo Fan said.

”I don't need anyone to protect me, but it's going to be difficult finding the right person. Not only does the person have to be reliable, it has to be someone we can trust, too. After all, our focus is to bring Little Flame Belle back to life, instead of searching for loot,” Lingling told him.

Mo Fan was troubled too. Mu Ningxue would be very busy during this period, so Mo Fan did not even tell her what had happened at the Parthenon Temple, as he did not want to make her worry. He did not tell her that Little Flame Belle had been reduced to a Calamity Fruit once more.

Mo Fan did not plan to bring Mu Ningxue along. She had something important to focus on, but the problem was, Mo Fan was struggling to think of someone that he could rely on.

Mo Fan tried to contact Miss Tangyue, but she seemed to be on a mission. Her phone stayed off for some time.

”Why don't we ask Mu Nujiao?” Lingling suggested.

Mu Nujiao was trustworthy, and she was reliable too, especially now that she had received the Blessing of the God's Seal. Her clan was more than willing to provide her with any resources she needed. She was a lot stronger than before.

”Are you sure? Asking her to go to such a dangerous place?” Mo Fan hesitated.

”Then what about Zhang Xiaohou?”

”He's different; he's very smart and experienced. He won't die so easily...” Mo Fan replied awkwardly.

”Just ask her, I stumbled into her recently. She did ask me if there's any quest. It seems she has reached a bottleneck after cultivating in seclusion for too long. She needs practical experience to improve further,” Lingling informed him.

”Mm, alright, I'll ask her.”

Mo Fan was about to pick up his phone to ask Mu Nujiao if she was interested in coming along when his phone rang.

It was a unique ringtone he had set for his father, Mo Jiaxin. The man's smiling face showed up on the screen. Mo Fan was quite surprised.

Did someone tell his father about what had happened to him and Xinxia at the Parthenon Temple? Otherwise, why would the old man call him all of a sudden?

Since he had moved to the Magic City and Xinxia had gone off to study, Mo Jiaxin was completely freed from his burdens. He did not even call for months, enjoying his life in Bo City. Many times, it was Mo Fan that had given his father a call to see how he was doing. It had been a while since the old man took the initiative to call him!

”Hello, what do you want?” Mo Fan asked casually.

”Mo Fan?” another person's voice came from the other end.

Mo Fan immediately frowned after hearing the voice.

Even though the voice was trying to hide it, Mo Fan still identified its owner instantly. It was someone that Mo Fan hated to the guts!

”It's you!” Mo Fan's face immediately turned icy.

”HAHAHA, it's quite a surprise that you can still recognize my voice...” the man on the other end burst out laughing.

”What do you want?” Mo Fan asked expressionlessly.

”What do I want? It's all your fault that I'm in my current situation. Your father is now in my hands, do you think I will go easy on him?” the man said.

”You have only yourself to blame,” Mo Fan said.

”Sure, your father has himself to blame, too. You can come to Beiyu (North Rain) Mountain now. If you're late... you know what I did to Xu Zhaoting!” The man's laughter was extremely piercing.

Mo Fan felt his heart was about to explode. However, he could not afford to lose his calm, as it would make him act irrationally. Things would only worsen if he did not act calmly!

Mo Fan tried his best to calm his thoughts, even though there was a dark, blood-colored flicker in his eyes.

Mo Fan dialed Lingling's number right away. ”Lingling, my father is in danger!”

”Your father? That's impossible, he's at Bo City. The city is now a military fortress. The military is surely looking after your father, not allowing any danger to befall him. Is it the Black Vatican?” Lingling said.
