A man riding a red-horned horse approached along the submerged road of the town.

He happened to pass by Mo Fan, Zhao Manyan, and Wei Rong, and came to a stop with a frown.

"Wei Rong, why are you and your students still here? Hurry up and seek shelter! I'll lure the Ruler-level sea monster away!" the man shouted impatiently.

Wei Rong pointed at a pool of dark blue goo and replied, "Elder Yao Xin, the sea monster is dead. That was its body."

"It's dead?" the elder of the Hunter Union asked suspiciously. He did not believe Wei Rong's words.

"Elder, many teachers of our school were killed by the sea monster, but we still did our best to buy the people time to evacuate to safety. Why did it take so long for the Hunters to come here?" Wei Rong asked, ignoring his tone.

Wei Rong's words somehow poked a sore spot on Elder Yao Xin. He frowned as he demanded grimly, "Are you blaming me for your teachers' deaths because I'm late?"

Wei Rong did not reply.

The Hunter Union was supposed to step forward and drive back the Ruler-level sea monster, but it was the teachers of the Pearl Institute who had sacrificed themselves. Not one of them had survived in the end!

Many of the teachers had been Wei Rong's colleagues for a long time. How could Wei Rong not feel angry or hold a grudge against the Hunter Union? However, he did not have the confidence to rebuke an elder of the Hunter Union.

After all, he was only an Advanced Mage!

"If the sea monster has left, I have other business to attend to. I shall excuse myself!" Yao Xin harrumphed coldly.

Wei Rong did not dare rebuke him, and could only watch the Super Mage leave on his horse. He could not help but wonder why the elder of the Hunter Union was heading back toward the Magic City instead of the coasts.

"What an assh***! He was acting so full of himself when he was too scared to fight the sea monster by himself," Zhao Manyan cursed before spitting on the ground.

"Forget it. There are always people who are scared of dying when disasters happen. However, it's truly disgusting that an elder of the Hunter Union is one of them, too!" Wei Rong sighed and shook his head.

Wei Rong had immediately notified the Hunter Union after he saw the Red Eyed Ruler. The Hunter Union had told him they would send one of their elders to help them.

However, the teachers of the Pearl Institute were forced to fight the creature because the help they were waiting for had never arrived. They were planning to buy some time at first until backup arrived, but the elder of the Hunter Union was still nowhere to be seen even after all the teachers had been killed.

If Mo Fan had not shown up in time, the Red-Eyed Ruler would have long advanced into the town and grown its red waves further!

The worst thing was, the man did not even believe the Red-Eyed Ruler was dead!

"Mo Fan, many sea monsters have snuck in using the Huangpu River. Our school is carrying a huge burden, but at this rate, not many teachers and students are going to survive in the end..." Wei Rong blurted out. He could not control his tears.

How was life so vulnerable? His colleagues he had set out with not long ago had all been slaughtered by a single Ruler-level sea monster! The sea monsters were so formidable that Mages like them who had worked so diligently to improve their cultivation, were feeling helpless and afraid!

"Mr. Wei, I don't have much to tell you, but Zhao Manyan and I are both graduates of the Pearl Institute. Without its support and protection when we were young and naïve, we wouldn't be here today. I won't let a single one of these sea monsters escape!" Mo Fan swore.

Mo Fan was sad to see the man in tears.

The Pearl Institute was just a school. It had the option of retreating to safety to protect its students and teachers.

However, the school was willing to gather volunteers to help the people in need. Teachers and students had sacrificed their lives to help evacuate the towns and cities. Mo Fan was extremely proud of his school!

"Yeah, how can we let our beloved juniors die at the hands of those vicious sea monsters?" Zhao Manyan was enraged as well!

"Old Wolf, follow the river and tear every sea monster you see into pieces!"

The Royal Striped Gray Wolf had yet to fully enjoy himself. There happened to be countless powerful sea monsters along the Huangpu River. He definitely would take advantage of the chance to enjoy killing the sea monsters to the fullest!

"Old Zhao, you aren't good at fighting. Dean Xiao and the others are defending the river's mouth. Go give them a hand," Mo Fan told him.

"Sure, I won't let a single sea monster sneak past the river," Zhao Manyan nodded.

"I want you to set up a barricade to prevent the sea monsters from retreating!" Mo Fan corrected him.

He wanted to make sure every sea monster that had invaded their lands via the river was not going anywhere!

"I like the sound of that. Leave it to me, we'll close the door and beat the dogs!" Zhao Manyan raised his thumb to Mo Fan.

The river was connected to the sea. The sea monsters would surely retreat to the sea after they encountered stronger Mages.

Mo Fan was planning to wipe the whole river clean!

------

After the Royal Striped Gray Wolf left, Mo Fan summoned Apas.

"Go with the Old Wolf to clean up the sea monsters along the river, until you meet up with Mu Bai at Dianshan Lake," Mo Fan told her.

Apas was still a little sleepy, but she did not turn down the job after she saw the grimly angry expression on Mo Fan's face.

"Can I Summon your wolf army?" Apas asked.

"You can Summon them?" Mo Fan was startled.

"I can open a Dimensional Gate and Summon them using the Seal you marked them with. There are a lot of sea monsters. It will be more efficient with their help," Apas answered.

"It's for the best, then. I'll leave it to you," Mo Fan agreed.

Mo Fan had not used his Beast Tide because of its time limit. It would take some time to clear up the sea monsters. If he and the Old Wolf were going separate ways, he would be unable to Summon his wolf army to help the Old Wolf.

"I might use a little of the Medusa Queen's power. Big brother, you have to protect me if I end up attracting the old people of the Holy Judgment Court and Heresy Judgment Court," Apas told him before Blinking away.

She turned into a streak of light and jumped a few thousand meters away before waiting for Mo Fan's response. She had no trouble catching up with the Royal Striped Gray Wolf with her speed.

Mo Fan shook his head as he watched Apas disappearing into the distance.

If only the little Medusa was as obedient as this all the time...

Her strength had to be very close to the time he had first caught her in Cairo, but she was unwilling to show it. Perhaps she was still thinking that she could regain her freedom one day'¦
