The demon creatures did not forget to bow to Mo Fan after they were done eating.
Mo Fan felt an urge to break into tears. He regretted taking the cargo flight.
Since he could not move, he decided to Cultivate instead. It had been a while since he had last visited the Demon Element's Galaxy.
The Demon Element was dark red in color as it spun quietly in his Spiritual World, observing the rest of the Elements like an evil concubine. It remained calm and collected even when the Lightning Queen possessed great power and the Fire Concubine was acting recklessly. It was acting like everything was under its control!
The Demon Element was different from the rest of the Elements. It did not have the system of Star Dust, Nebula, Galaxy, and Star Ocean. It did not even have Stars. It was just a crack that resembled a wormhole, connected to somewhere far away.
The Demon Element did not welcome Mo Fan when he tried to approach it, as if it was not bothered by his presence.
"Being aloof isn't the trend anymore. I'm currently injured. Can't you give me some other useful Passives, since you have only provided me with a transformation skill with a cooldown that lasts for half a century?" Mo Fan complained to it.
Communication was the key. It was possible to communicate with everything in the world, including a puff of energy!
The Demon Element started emitting a faint glow. Mo Fan felt a layer of warmth encapsulating his body, like he had fallen into a pool of mud that had been exposed under the sun for an entire afternoon. It was sticky yet comfortable.
"It was that easy to convince it?" Mo Fan was surprised.
He had thought he would need to have a prolonged argument with the Demon Element, with a lot of begging and pleading, yet it was willing to lend him a hand when he was only suggesting it indifferently!
The Demon Element had strengthened his flesh and given him an outstanding ability to self-recover. Mo Fan had sustained great injuries from the crash. He might have been stuck in the same posture for a few days without the help of a Healer, but Mo Fan could already feel his bones after receiving the help from the Demon Element. He was now able to move his arms around!
What a surprise! The Demon Element might seem aloof, but it had failed to withstand the slightest provocation. All Mo Fan did was take a quick tour of its territory, and it immediately poured out its energy to nurture him.
Mo Fan was finally able to stand. He tried moving his stiff joints.
His injuries recovered quicker than he had expected. He was soon as healthy as an ox after applying the whole bag of ointments and medicine Xinxia had given him over his entire body!

"Is it possible that the turbulent flow of space has teleported me somewhere else? I was supposed to land on the Eighth Mound, despite my injuries. How did I end up here?" Mo Fan murmured.
Mo Fan took a few steps forward as he was murmuring to himself. The ground suddenly sank and revealed the entrance of an underground structure. Huge banana leaves were blocking Mo Fan's vision. He was greeted by a shocking sight as he pried the leaves.
He had arrived at the Eighth Mound, but the place was already in ruins.
The walls around the irregular terrain were made of light green rocks. Some of them spread out like a fan, while others were stacked in layers like stairs. They had surrounded the mound like a valley. A few defensive buildings were constructed along the walls. They were most likely connected to some caves, allowing their occupants to escape in an emergency.
Mo Fan could roughly see the outline of the structures, but both the walls and the buildings were now in ruins!
"The mounds are supposed to be the alert system of the school. How come the school is unaware that the Eighth Mound has been destroyed?" Mo Fan was shocked.
The Aorus Sacred Institute was constructed at the edge of the Andes Mountains. In other words, it was located right outside the entrance of a demon creatures' den. The misbehaving demon creatures often gathered in groups to expand their territories. If the Aorus Sacred Institute was unaware of the movement of demon creatures beforehand, it was possible for the school to be completely surrounded by demon creatures within a night.
The mounds were similar to the outposts, sentry towers, and fortresses around a city!
Mu Bai had mentioned that something was wrong with the Sixth Mound. It turned out that the Eighth Mound had long been destroyed, yet the people of the Aorus Sacred Institute had no idea what was going on! If the demon creatures were on the move, it would be too late for the people to react once the demon creatures reached the fourth, third, and second mounds!
"Was the Black Vatican behind it?" Mo Fan thought grimly.
Destroying the mounds was the same as destroying the alarm system of the Aorus Sacred Institute.
There was something else too. It had been raining for a long time!
It was supposed to be a sunny season, but rain was sweeping across the mountains. Mo Fan's heart skipped a beat.
Damn it, isn't this a sign that the Black Vatican is on the move!?
The rain, the breakdown of the city's defenses, followed by a huge tide of demon creatures attacking the city. The disaster came as the people were still preoccupied by their comfortable lives. There was enough blood to flow like rivers, while the land was littered with corpses!
"Their target is the Aorus Sacred Institute!"
The Black Vatican had been hiding in the Aorus Sacred Institute, and had even planted the Frenzy Poppies in its territory. It was even producing the Frenzy Liquid at its facility to wipe out the school itself.
Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Mu Bai were too focused on the main cities in the Andes Federation. They had assumed Salan was going to target one of the cities, yet she was aiming the cannon at the school instead!
Damn those assh**** of the Black Vatican!
He would never let them get what they wanted!
Where could he look for such a tolerant marriage law in the world once the Aorus Sacred Institute was razed to the ground?
He had always wondered why he was so incompatible with the Black Vatican. It turned out to be his destiny.
Screw the Black Vatican and Salan. He would fight them until his death!

Mo Fan looked around, but did not find a single corpse at the Eighth Mound. It was likely that the demon creatures and Hillmen that were roaming nearby had cleaned them up. He was unable to ask anyone about the current situation.
Luckily, Mo Fan had come prepared. He knew how to get to the Ninth Mound from the Eighth Mound.
If Lily said she had been to the Ninth Mound in the past, it meant the evil herbalist had moved his lab to the Ninth Mound. Everything would be straightforward once Mo Fan found his way to the Ninth Mound!
"Come to think of it, how did the Black Vatican make the rain?
"Even if they are relying on Water Mages, the rain would only cover a distance of ten kilometers at most, yet this rain is covering an area of at least a hundred kilometers. Do they worship the Rain of God?"
