Mu Feiluan walked toward the alliance. He seemed to know Senior Hunter Yassen. He smiled at Yassen and said, “I believe you saw what happened just now. The woman is a heretic who the Heresy Judgment Court froze on Tianshan Mountain in the past, but somehow she has escaped. She is extremely dangerous and likes to stay in cities. She is a lot stronger here because of the environment. The four Judicators have trapped her in this area, but it will take us some time to apprehend her.”
“I understand, but we are here for the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. We have lost a lot of men along the way. You can’t possibly ask us to risk our lives for something so dangerous when we are already worn out both physically and mentally, just because the Heresy Judgment Court is catching a heretic here, right?” Senior Hunter Yassen tactfully rejected the request.
“The Nine Flowers Scar where the Tianshan Sacred Lotus is located is exactly where we have trapped the Ice Witch. If you go there without the Heresy Judgment Court’s permission, you will have to bear the consequences. We already discussed this with the Great Judicator. If you help us apprehend the Ice Witch, the Judicators will help you find the Tianshan Sacred Lotus in return,” Mu Feiluan promised.
“Are you serious?” Yassen was surprised.
The Tianshan Sacred Lotus was extremely valuable. Even Forbidden Mages would be interested in it, let alone Super Mages. Yassen almost gave up when he saw the group of powerful Mages, since his group had no chance of competing with them.
“Eliminating heretics is the Heresy Judgment Court’s sacred duty. They aren’t interested in the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. As for us, we are more interested in establishing a friendly relationship with the Heresy Judgment Court. Don’t you worry; if you’re willing to lend us a hand, we won’t demand a share of the Tianshan Sacred Lotus!” Mu Feiluan swore.
Mu Feiluan could easily tell Yassen was the leader of the alliance. If he could convince Yassen, the others would follow too.
“I shall discuss with the others first,” Yassen said.
“Be quick, we can’t let the Ice Witch rest for too long,” Mu Feiluan warned him.
Yassen called a meeting with the leaders of the teams to discuss it. Yassen was leaning toward working with the Heresy Judgment Court, mainly because they had to cross the complicated terrain in the Nine Flowers Scar before reaching the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. They could also see many powerful demon creatures roaming in the area ahead, who were also probably interested in the Tianshan Sacred Lotus.
A huge battle clearly awaited them if they went after the Tianshan Sacred Lotus. Most importantly, the people of the Heresy Judgment Court had established the Nine Lights Formation in the Nine Flowers Scar. They would not withdraw from the area if they did not catch the heretic, meaning the alliance would struggle to achieve their goal.
The Heresy Judgment Court would normally seal up an area when they were on a mission. They had the right to execute any unauthorized personnel on the spot. No one dared to challenge the Heresy Judgment Court’s authority!
Yassen told everyone about the situation. Bertan, Kuma, Zhao Kang, and the others were hesitating to make a decision.
“It sounds like we don’t have a choice, but the Ice Witch is incredibly strong. I’m afraid none of us will stand a chance against her,” Zhao Kang pointed out.
“Don’t worry, we aren’t facing her directly. Look on the bright side, it’s a chance for us to befriend the Heresy Judgment Court too.”
“Speaking of which, who’s the woman they are after? She looks not much different from us. Why is she a heretic?”
“We shouldn’t ask too many questions. The Heresy Judgment Court has its reasons.”
