"Of course I do," Lu Zhantian glanced at the half-masked man. The truth was, his hands were tied with a pair of silver handcuffs enhanced with dark sealing magic. It was the same method that the Enforcement Union used to seal the minds of their prisoners.
"He was once a Black Clergy of the Black Vatican, but he has turned over a new leaf and sworn loyalty to the Beiyu Enforcement Union instead. He is helping us hunt the members of the Black Vatican. I have already submitted a request to the higher-ups, and a Councilman has approved my request. The man told me that Great Deacon Hu Jin, Mu He, had initiated contact with Mo Fan's father, Mo Jiaxin. As such, I can't help but suspect that Mo Jiaxin was a member of the Black Vatican, even though his son is one of the main contributors to wiping out the Black Vatican. I believe the man might provide me with some useful information. After all, the person that Mo Jiaxin contacted might be Salan, the Red Cardinal of the Black Vatican! Nighthawk, do I now have a reason to interrogate him?" Lu Zhantian looked at Nighthawk with a disdainful grin.
The Enforcement Union had yet to find any useful information on Salan, but he might have a chance of learning Salan's past, and if it was somehow related to Mo Fan's father. It was a piece of great news to him. Not only would he be able to make worthy contributions to the Enforcement Union, he could also get his revenge on Mo Fan!
"Then why did I hear that someone is using his father to threaten Mo Fan!?" Nighthawk said.
"Threaten? I only asked him to tell Mo Fan that his father is in our hands, how is that threatening?" Lu Zhantian pointed at Yu Ang.
Nighthawk's face darkened immediately. As the man in charge of the operation to wipe out the Black Vatican in the Magic City, Nighthawk clearly knew who Yu Ang was! "Don't tell me you have no idea of the history between him and Mo Fan. You're provoking him on purpose!" Nighthawk said.
"Nighthawk, I'm afraid you are thinking too much. I knew Yu Ang and Mo Fan were old acquaintances, and since Yu Ang has turned over a new leaf, I believed it was necessary for him to contact Mo Fan. I'll mediate between them so the two can resolve their conflict peacefully. After all, Yu Ang is going to help us to find the members of the Black Vatican," Lu Zhantian replied smoothly.
Nighthawk could feel his c.h.e.s.t burning with rage after hearing Lu Zhantian's excuse. Lu Zhantian was clearly setting up a trap for Mo Fan!
Nighthawk was aware that the Beiyu Enforcement Union had caught Yu Ang and was using him to hunt down the members of the Black Vatican. He initially thought Lu Zhantian would focus on taking out the Black Vatican, yet it turned out that the man was trying to use Yu Ang and his hatred against Mo Fan to avenge his brother, Lu Yilin!
Many people knew Mo Fan had indirectly killed Lu Yilin in Peru for trying to set him up. The Lu Clan was obviously not going to forgive Mo Fan for that, but the man had won the World College Tournament for the country. As such, the Lu Clan was hesitant to make a move. To their surprise, Lu Zhantian insisted on taking matters into his own hands. He insisted on killing Mo Fan to avenge his brother!
"I want to see Mo Jiaxin! I want to know if you have done anything to him!" Nighthawk said.
"He's perfectly fine. I will take full responsibility for it, so don't you worry. Nighthawk, I am the Leader of the Enforcement Union, you have no right to order me around, do you understand?" Lu Zhantian emphasized.
"You...you..." Nighthawk was so angry that he was lost for words.
He could easily tell what Lu Zhantian was up to, judging by the members of the Enforcement Union he had gathered. He only hoped that Mo Fan could stay calm, as Mo Jiaxin was still fine. He could only hope Lu Zhantian was not bold enough to harm his father.
"He's here!" Yu Ang exclaimed. He seemed quite excited.
He finally had the chance to drive Mo Fan mad. He had waited a long time for this day!
Nighthawk glanced down the slope and saw Mo Fan arriving with a westerner dressed in strange clothes. He could immediately see the murderous look in Mo Fan's eyes!
Nighthawk quickly went up to Mo Fan. "Mo Fan, stay calm. Give me a day, I promise you I will force Lu Zhantian to let your father go." All he could do was to advise Mo Fan to not do anything recklessly.
The Beiyu Enforcement Union was a powerful organization. If anyone used violence, they had the right to execute the person on the spot. Lu Zhantian was trying to provoke Mo Fan with Yu Ang's help so he would attack them recklessly. When that happened, Lu Zhantian would have an excuse for executing him on the spot!
The members of the Enforcement Union that were present could testify that it was Mo Fan who attacked first, and that he had broken the law first.
"Nighthawk, I know that," Mo Fan replied to him coldly.
"That's a relief, I was worried that you were going to do something reckless. Don't let these idiots provoke you. Stay calm, I promise you that I won't let them harm your father," Nighthawk said seriously.
"The man is perfectly well, but you know, Yu Ang was once a member of the Black Vatican. I will place him in charge of the interrogation… after all, he knows your father too," Lu Zhantian called out.
Yu Ang burst out laughing too. His eyes squinted viciously as he watched Mo Fan's face closely. He could not wait to see Mo Fan lose his calm and pounce at them like a mad hound. Everything would then go according to their plan!
"Yu Ang is still a prisoner. The Enforcement Union is only using him to hunt down the remaining members of the Black Vatican..." Nighthawk explained. He did not want Mo Fan to misunderstand that the Enforcement Union had colluded with Yu Ang.
"I know that too," Mo Fan replied.
Lingling had told him the whole thing. He already knew it was a trap.
However, that did not mean Mo Fan would endure it!
There was no way he would endure the things that had crossed his bottom line! These people had crossed two lines in his heart!
First, threatening him with his father!
Second, what happened to Xu Zhaoting had been constantly gnawing at Mo Fan. It did not matter if Yu Ang had turned over a new leaf, or how willing he was to help the Enforcement Union. As soon as Mo Fan knew where the man was, he had sworn to behead the man himself!
Some people were just unforgivable!

"Mo Fan, you can't use your magic here. It will only give them a valid excuse to take you out!" Nighthawk quickly said when he sensed the murderous intent rising inside Mo Fan.
"There are things you can never endure!" Black lightning burst out of Mo Fan's body following the sentence. The lightning surged wildly in all directions like dragons!
The lightning was representing the lightning wrath in Mo Fan's heart!
Endure?!
Why would he endure?
These people were serving justice just because they were called the Beiyu Enforcement Union?
Even the noble Parthenon Temple had an ugly side to it. Mo Fan was bold enough to trample the Parthenon Temple's sacred mountain, why would he be scared of a little headquarters of the Enforcement Union?
The lightning flickered wildly, whipping the mountain slope. Yu Ang and Lu Zhantian stood higher up on the mountain, wearing the same grin on their faces.
Mo Fan had taken the bait, as they had expected. The man was simply a brainless, hot-headed fool!
"You have all seen it! This man is trying to stir up chaos in our territory. Take him down and execute him on the spot!" Lu Zhantian yelled. He almost sounded like he was very excited as he quickly gave the order to his men.
Feng Jinglan, the Vice Leader of Beiyu Enforcement Union, frowned. It was obvious that Lu Zhantian was abusing his power. He had purposely summoned the members of the Enforcement Union here as he knew Mo Fan would completely lose his calm. These members of the Enforcement Union were all his subordinates!
"Affirmative!" the members of the Enforcement Union immediately yelled after receiving the order.
A dozen Mages started constructing Star Constellations. The Star Constellations of different Elements formed a destructive Elemental aura surging in Mo Fan's direction!
"Sky Lightning Claw!"
Mo Fan finished casting his spell first. His lightning was aiming at the Enforcer (member of the Enforcement Union) who was the closest to him. The man looked disdainful.
The Enforcer knew Mo Fan was the winner of the World College Tournament, but to someone like him, who had gone through countless battles, the World College Tournament was just like a little fight between kids. It was nothing worth mentioning.
He summoned a Water Curtain to defend himself. The blue barrier loomed over him...
The Sky Lightning Claw instantly blew through the Water Curtain. The water poured down on the Enforcer who had underestimated Mo Fan's strength.
The lightning continued to strike down with an overwhelming force. The man stared at the lightning strike in disbelief.
-How is it possible for a Lightning Spell to be so powerful?-
The Enforcer desperately summoned his magic Armor, but he was still scorched by the Sky Lightning Claw. He fell unconscious to the ground.
The arrogant man never expected that Mo Fan's lightning was twelve times stronger than a normal Mage's lightning after receiving the Blessing of the God's Seal!
The Enforcer did not even have a single Soul-grade Seed. Even after putting on his magic Armor, Mo Fan's Sky Lightning Claw could defeat him easily!
"He dares to attack an Enforcer! Everyone, take this vile man down, show no mercy!" Lu Zhantian blurted out in joy when he saw Mo Fan attacking an Enforcer first.
Yu Ang was grinning too. They were currently at Beiyu Mountain. They had twenty Enforcers, while Lu Zhantian was a Super Mage. Mo Fan was surely going to die once they had the excuse to take him out!
He could finally get his revenge. He almost felt like he was about to ascend into Heaven!
The other Enforcers had channeled their Advanced Spells, and finally attacked after a slight hesitation. Destructive spells poured down upon the area, leaving Mo Fan no chance to dodge them!
With a series of explosions, the slope was almost razed to the ground by the blasts. A huge cloud of smoke lingered in the air.
Nighthawk almost went crazy. He furiously rushed toward the Enforcers and yelled at them, "Can't you tell it's a set-up? If you still have some conscience, you need to stop now! The man you are attacking has been risking his life to oppose the Black Vatican with his friends! He has given his all to save the Ancient Capital, and even won glory for our country with the national team. He deserves your utmost respect instead of this!"
A few of the Enforcers seemed troubled after hearing Nighthawk's words.
They did know who Mo Fan was. The victory of the World College Tournament was inspiring to the whole country. They hesitated, and did not fire their spells at Mo Fan.
"Don't forget who your superior is here!" Lu Zhantian stared at the Enforcers who did not attack with a cold smile.
Five Enforcers chose not to attack, while the rest did not show any mercy, as if they already knew why they were summoned here beforehand.
---
A pair of black wings had spread open in the smoke. It was like a pair of indestructible shields, perfectly protecting Mo Fan within them.
The black wings belonged to Bola. The destructive spells had not left a single scratch on his wings. His lips widened, revealing two pairs of fangs inside his mouth!
"You know what to do," Mo Fan said coldly.
"I will spare the life of those that deserve it!" Bola smiled.
Bola transformed into a purple bat with a flicker of motion and appeared behind an Enforcer suddenly.
He lifted the Enforcer and slammed him into the ground. The Enforcer's Advanced Spells were completely useless against him.
The impact broke all the bones in the Enforcer's body. The man fainted on the spot.
"How weak!" Bola made his move again. This time, he aimed for two Enforcers who were standing together, attacking Mo Fan with Fire Spells. Judging from the looks on their faces, they were serious about taking Mo Fan's life!
Bola would not go easy on people like them. He grabbed their arms and pulled them toward him.
He tore the arms off the two Enforcers ruthlessly, tossed them on the ground.
The Enforcers cried out in agony. They fell to the ground as blood poured out from the wounds. Bola walked up to them and stomped on their legs!
The bones in their quads shattered into pieces, and their legs were crushed into pulp. The two Enforcers cried out at the top of their lungs in pain, their tears and mucus mixing together.
"Blood Whip!"
Bola was incredibly fast with his attacks. After he was done with the two Enforcers, he immediately summoned a long whip in his hand formed from his poisonous blood. He swung the whip and entangled an Enforcer trying to cast a Psychic Spell on Mo Fan.
Bola tugged the whip, dragging the Enforcer toward him and exhaling a poisonous breath on him.
The man felt like thousands of worms were biting his body. He would be screaming in pain for quite some time!
"Blood Tribe!" Lu Zhantian's face contorted after seeing Bola's moves.
Lu Zhantian did not expect Mo Fan to bring a member of the Blood Tribe with him. He was bullying his men like they were little kids!
Lu Zhantian could not stand it any further, and took the initiative to join the fight. He did not go for Bola, but for Mo Fan. He was a Wind Mage, and his speed was quite outstanding. The man was planning to finish Mo Fan with a single move!
Mo Fan immediately sensed danger approaching. He saw a blurry figure shooting towards him from the distance. He quickly cast Blink and vanished into thin air with a flicker of silver light.
Lu Zhantian missed his opportunity. He chased after Mo Fan angrily.
Bola had regrouped with Mo Fan. His speed was strange and unpredictable, and he was even quicker than the Super Wind Mage Lu Zhantian. He kept following Lu Zhantian wherever he went!
"Master, I will need some time to handle this guy. Can you deal with his underlings on your own?" Bola asked.
Lu Zhantian was quite strong, especially his Wind Element. He could dash across the ground like a shadow or suddenly vanish into the air without a trace. Bola would have to be more serious in order to take him down.
The main reason was that it had been too many years since Bola had fought with his true strength. He barely remembered his own moves. In the past, he needed less than five minutes to take out a Super Mage!
"Break all his bones and tendons, make sure that he stays alive!" Mo Fan replied to Bola.
"As you wish!" Bola replied.
Lu Zhantian tried to stay a certain distance from Bola. Hovering in the air with his Wind Wings, he almost lost his calm when he heard the conversation between Mo Fan and Bola.
Why would such a strong member of the Blood Tribe show up after he set up the trap so perfectly? If the Blood Tribesman was not around, he could easily end Mo Fan's life!
---
"Yu Ang, time for us to settle our debt!" Mo Fan lifted his gaze and stared at Yu Ang coldly.
The man had been extremely pleased with the outcome, but he no longer looked as calm and collected as before.
However, he did not panic at all. There were at least eight Enforcers on the mountain who were loyal to Lu Zhantian!
These Enforcers were all Advanced Mages. Based on Yu Ang's understanding of Mo Fan, there was no way Mo Fan could possibly stand a chance against these Enforcers!
The thought immediately calmed Yu Ang down. He believed he should provoke Mo Fan a little more to drive him mad.
However, as Yu Ang was deciding if he should mention Xu Zhaoting or Mo Fan's father, he was shocked to see Mo Fan knock a relatively strong Enforcer flying with a single punch. He could not even tell if the man was still alive!
Yu Ang was stunned.
-Since...since when is Mo Fan so strong!?-
-Wasn't he just an Intermediate Mage back then!?-
Chapter 1197 - There Is No One I Don't Dare to Kill!

"Hellish Flames!"
Fierce fire fell from the sky, landing between a few Enforcers. The three Enforcers were not weak Mages. They quickly cast Ice Spells to put out the flames.
Mo Fan glanced at the remaining flames on the ground. They were all bright red, like the color of roses.
Mo Fan had gotten used to the overwhelming power of Little Flame Belle's Calamity Fire. His Fire Spells had dramatically weakened without his Summoned Beast's help. Most importantly, Mo Fan was feeling quite down, too. This further convinced him that he had to bring Little Flame Belle back to life after he was done here. It did not feel right that his naughty daughter was not around to stir up trouble for him!
"Don't be scared, let's attack together! He won't be able to take us on!" Enforcer Lu Bingfeng said.
Lu Bingfeng was obviously a member of the Lu Clan. He urged the other three Enforcers to use their sealing magic. One of the Enforcers was a Shadow Mage, hiding in one corner and planning to use the Nyx Regime and Giant Shadow Spikes to seal Mo Fan's mind.
To his surprise, Mo Fan vanished immediately after the Nyx Regime was established. A few seconds later, the Shadow Mage felt a great chill from behind. Mo Fan had stabbed his waist and the back of his head with a pair of shadow daggers!
The strong sealing force restrained the Enforcer and bound his mind, preventing him from casting any spells.
"Humph, die!" Lu Bingfeng quickly took hold of the opportunity to summon a Demon Tree with a saw-toothed outer layer. The huge Demon Tree extended out toward Mo Fan!
Mo Fan lifted his gaze and stared at the saw-like Demon Tree. A silver light encapsulated the tree, preventing it from moving any further.
Lu Bingfeng was stunned. He was unable to tell what magic Mo Fan was using. He was not that experienced. "Get him!" he shouted furiously at the other two Enforcers. They were both Psychic Mages!
Psychic Mages played an important role among the Enforcers. They were usually the key to apprehending their targets. The two Psychic Mages cast Psychic Impact on Mo Fan simultaneously to stop him from casting any Advanced Spells!
