Blue Bat and Violet Ghost were shocked, but the latter was able to keep his calm. He asked in a solemn voice, ”How did you know?”

”I killed his female associate and forced him to eat her heart. I was quite enjoying myself, but he managed to run away while I was being careless,” Mo Fan chuckled. The Black Clergy nearby shivered in fear upon seeing his smile.

This Northdeer was clearly insane!

Violet Ghost believed in Mo Fan. He glared at his men.

”How did the Enforcement Union find us!?” Violet Ghost hissed.

Violet Ghost did not suspect Mo Fan. First of all, Mo Fan had been unconscious and half-dead. It was impossible for him to lead the Enforcement Union to them. Secondly, if Mo Fan had really brought the Enforcement Union to them, why would he bother telling them now, just to earn their trust? It was meaningless.

”I'll deal with him. Now that I've joined you, I must show you how valuable I am,” Mo Fan said to Violet Ghost.

”Alright, but don't make a move unless it's necessary. Let's see how many people they have,” Violet Ghost said cautiously.

The place was no longer safe if the people of the Enforcement Union were aware of their location. Violet Ghost immediately stopped the Summoning of the Underworld Gate and ordered his men to relocate the magic formation.

The Black Clergy stayed to protect the Mages who were in charge of the magic formation. They left under Violet Ghost's lead.

The group began to withdraw, but Blue Bat remained beside Mo Fan.

”I'll come with you,” Blue Bat said.

”Sure, as long as you can keep up with me,” Mo Fan grinned indifferently.

Before Blue Bat could react, she saw Mo Fan's grin slowly turning into a black puff of smoke. When she took a closer look, there was only a black mist scattering in the air, with no sign of Mo Fan.

Blue Bat wanted to follow him, but he was just too quick for her. Left with no choice, she could only follow Violet Ghost and the others who were relocating to another place.

Opening the Underworld Gate was not a simple task, so they could not afford to be disturbed at all. Since the people of the Enforcement Union had shown up, there was no way Violet Ghost would stay in the same spot.

That being said, Violet Ghost did not trust Mo Fan completely. However, while they were withdrawing from the place, the informer that Violet Ghost had planted close to the Enforcement Union told him a bunch of Enforcers were on their way to his location. Violet Ghost was even more convinced that Mo Fan was Northdeer. He was also glad that he had decided to save Mo Fan's life, as he ended up saving his own life too!

Mo Fan had Fiendish Night. Even a Super Mage would struggle to avoid being tracked by him, let alone a normal Enforcer.

An Enforcer's rank was higher than a regular member of the Enforcement Union. They were usually more experienced and stronger than regular members of the Enforcement Union, and were entrusted with special missions.

Mo Fan had met the Enforcer before. He was one of He Feikun's associates, who had come to bring the mentally-unstable old herdsman away.

Mo Fan was clear on the overall strength of He Feikun's squad. If they were thinking of taking out this force of the Black Vatican led by Violet Ghost on their own, they were most likely going to be wiped out instead!

As such, Mo Fan did not expose them to set them up. He was saving their lives! Violet Ghost was no weaker than him, and had four other Blue Deacons with him, including Blue Bat, whose strength remained unknown, not to mention around a hundred Black Clergy. He Feikun would only stand a chance if he brought along a Vice Elder of the Enforcement Union. Otherwise, he was only going to get himself killed!

”What are you looking for?” an eerie voice appeared behind Jiang Lin. He quickly turned around in a cold sweat.

He saw a man in a blue outfit, their face full of scars. Most importantly, it felt like something was grabbing onto him firmly. His mouth was covered by two hands, preventing him from screaming for help...

When Jiang Lin stopped panicking, he was shocked to see that his own shadow was grabbing onto him!

-What kind of ability is this?- Jiang Lin had never seen an ability like this before. He stared at the Blue Deacon with wide eyes. He could feel his death approaching.

”Don't panic, listen to me carefully,” Mo Fan smiled. He knew the smile on his current face would not seem too friendly, nor was it any convincing, but this was where his temperament came into play. He believed he could explain the situation to the man in the shortest time possible, ”You're with He Feikun, right? I'm the Tree of Oath.”

”Tree of Oath?” Jiang Lin was astounded when he heard the name.

The Tree of Oath was the Enforcement Union's secret code. Even though there was a chance that the Black Vatican had figured it out somehow, the mention of the name could still ease the atmosphere slightly.

”You do know that it's very easy for me to kill you,” Mo Fan continued calmly.

Jiang Lin nodded. He believed in his instincts. If his shadow stabbed him with its claws, he could not even struggle. He was an Advanced Mage, but he had a feeling that the man could kill him as easy as the flip of his hand!

”How many men do you have?” Mo Fan asked.

”He Feikun is in charge; there are three Enforcers, including me, and ten other members of the Enforcement Union,” Jiang Lin said honestly.

”It's not enough. The enemy has more, and Violet Ghost is among them, too. Take your men and leave, I'll stay on the trail,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had two plans in mind. If the Enforcement Union had enough people, he would immediately lead them to Violet Ghost and take the Black Vatican out. He would then put up an act and save both Violet Ghost and Blue Bat so they would lead him to the Chief Extraditor and Unas, who were the closest to the Cold Prince.

If the Enforcement Union's numbers were not enough, Mo Fan would advise them to leave. First, they would only end up dying if they were to engage the enemy. Second, he had already earned Violet Ghost's trust. This group of the Black Vatican was only a part of the conspiracy. Taking them out now might even mess up his plan!
