Zhao Manyan realized something as they were discussing the topic.
“That’s right, that goddamned monk knows how to control the rain!” Zhao Manyan exclaimed.
Wu Ku had gathered the raindrops and turned them into a three-layered barrier around himself at the Eighth Mound!
Zhao Manyan was also a Water Mage, but his control of the Water Element was nowhere as strong as Wu Ku’s. He’d had a strange feeling about Wu Ku’s Water Magic, too!
“The Evil Herbalist knows how to produce the Frenzy Liquid. If Wu Ku is the Head Priest, he must have his uses to Salan!” Mo Fan stared at the crystal orb.
The image in the crystal orb was extremely small, yet he could still see Wu Ku releasing his Water Magic.
He was like a mist-producing machine. Mo Fan noticed a cloudy gas rising into the sky, like a moving gray mountain!
Is Wu Ku the one controlling the rain?
Mo Fan suddenly remembered something.
When he and Mu Ningxue were having a walk on a sunny day close to the Potala Palace, a rain started falling out of nowhere, just before he stumbled into Wu Ku, who was worshiping on the street!
Lhasa rarely had any rain. If it too was not a coincidence…
Salan had to risk her life just to save Wu Ku, meaning that Wu Ku was playing an irreplaceable role in her plan.
Every calamity had something to do with rain, and Wu Ku was the one controlling it!
Everything made sense now…
Blue Bat used her death to regain the Black Vatican’s trust, just so Wu Ku would not be suspicious of her.
The crystal orb had helped Mo Fan and the others to find out how important Wu Ku’s role was in Salan’s plan. If they could take down Wu Ku, they could stop Salan’s plan too!
“Wu Ku is at the Scorching River. We might not be able to intervene with another country’s business, but we must take him down at all costs!” Mo Fan clenched his fists.
They had to take down Wu Ku, whether it was to make up for Blue Bat’s sacrifice or to avenge those who had died in Bo City!
The list he gave to the Enforcement Union only had the names of people with minor roles in the Black Vatican. As long as Salan, the Chief Extraditor, the Evil Herbalist, and the Head Priest were still around, Salan could keep using the same trick over and over again.
The Frenzy Rain could already influence people’s emotions. It was worse than provoking demon creatures!
Salan could keep causing the same calamity with the Frenzy Rain. It would be difficult to predict where she was going to target next.
Wu Ku was a crucial part of her plan. If they could take him out, it would be a heavy blow to Salan’s assets!
Mu Bai had already experimented and determined the Frenzy Liquid was not water-soluble.
If so, how did Salan mix the Frenzy Liquid with the rain and make sure the rain would keep falling?
Wu Ku had to be the answer they were looking for. It was most likely what Blue Bat was trying to tell them!
“He’s really controlling the rain. Look!” Zhao Manyan pointed at the crystal orb.
Wu Ku was using his magic. A hole had appeared in the clouds right above him, like a well connected to the sky.
A red liquid was rising into the eye of the storm. It split rapidly into tiny droplets after it reached the eye and spread throughout the clouds.
“Is that the Frenzy Liquid?” Mo Fan asked urgently.
“Yes, he’s spreading the Frenzy Liquid through the clouds. This Wu Ku must be a Water Mage with an Innate Soul-grade Seed!” Mu Bai judged.
