Chapter 459 The Inquisition's Bounty, the Black Vatican's Stronghold in China

In the following days, Mu Ningxue's attitude towards Jiang Han returned to its usual coldness. If Mo Fan hadn't come to Jiang Han to handle the big deal about the Black Vatican, Mu Ningxue might have continued to keep her distance from Jiang Han.

"Jiang Han, you've come to see me this time..."

Before Mo Fan could finish speaking, he noticed Mu Ningxue sitting cross-legged on the sofa, cultivating. His eyes widened in disbelief. He saw Mu Ningxue in Jiang Han's apartment—did that mean…?

"Aaaaaah!" Mo Fan thought to himself, "It's like a groundhog screaming in agony."

He'd been busy taking on tasks and gathering resources these past few days, and when he finally landed a big order, he didn't forget to invite Jiang Han to share in the profits. Who knew Jiang Han would give him such a big surprise!

"Jiang Han, you're a real dog!" Mo Fan looked at Jiang Han with indignation.

We agreed on fair competition, and you bastard stole my base while I was out making money! You're a real scoundrel!

"What kind of look is that? And don't use your filthy mind to judge me." Jiang Han noticed Mo Fan's change in mood and naturally guessed what this guy was thinking.

If he had really won over Mu Ningxue, he would have definitely sent an invitation to his good brother Mo Fan, making him give up on the idea. Instead, he's keeping her hidden away like this now.

"After she finished dealing with things in the capital, she went to the National Pavilion to report for duty. The National Pavilion didn't arrange accommodation for the students, so Nu Jiao brought her back. Everyone else is staying upstairs." Jiang Han said, pointing to the ice wall at the top of the spiral staircase.

Ever since Mu Ningxue moved upstairs, this ice beauty has sealed off the stairwell before going to sleep at night, completely cutting off Jiang Han's "happy" life with Mu Nujiao and Ai Tutu at night.

Although Jiang Han and Mu Nujiao hadn't yet broken through the barrier between them, Jiang Han clearly felt that Mu Nujiao had become more gentle after returning this time. If it weren't for Mu Ningxue's sudden arrival, Jiang Han might have already experienced... well, you know.

"Am I the kind of person you're describing? Stop slandering me out of thin air!" Mo Fan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately tried to distance himself from Jiang Han.

Unfortunately, Mu Ningxue did not listen to their conversation; she simply sat there quietly, meditating and cultivating.

"Speak, what brings you here this time?" Jiang Han tapped the coffee table and said somewhat speechlessly.

After turning his gaze away from Mu Ningxue, Mo Fan said, "You know that I've been taking orders at the hunting lodge to accumulate cultivation resources during this time, right?"

"Hmm." Jiang Han naturally knew this, but he was curious about what trouble Mo Fan had encountered that would make Mo Fan think of him.

"A couple of days ago, Lingling suddenly found me a big job. At first, I was quite excited, but after reading the bounty, I felt it would be safer to involve you. Besides, the bounty is related to Salang, whom we encountered in the ancient capital!!"

"It is said that the reward was issued by the Tribunal. The information says that there is a hidden stronghold of the Black Vatican on Chongming Island. It is very likely that Salang was able to cross the border of China and escape to foreign countries because he escaped from Chongming Island."

"Our goal this time is to capture the Black Vatican members in the Chongming Island stronghold, and we'll take them down with our lives."

"Of course, the most exciting thing is the price offered by the Tribunal. A gray-robed cultist is worth 500,000, a black-robed priest is worth 9 million, and a blue-robed deacon is worth as much as 120 million. To put it bluntly, it's a bounty on heads." Mo Fan became more and more excited as he spoke.

Even if he didn't go after those blue-robed deacons, he could still make a fortune by targeting those gray-robed believers and black-robed priests. If he did it well, Mo Fan could earn at least one or two small goals from this bounty.

"Are you talking about the Black Vatican? I want to join your bounty mission too."

Suddenly, a clear, cold female voice rang out from behind the two of them. It was obvious that the speaker was Mu Ningxue.

"This..." Mo Fan hesitated. He had heard some things about the Mu family in Bocheng recently. In fact, he didn't really want Mu Ningxue to get involved, mainly because he was afraid that Mu Ningxue would be retaliated against by the Black Church.

"I'm not afraid of retaliation from the Black Vatican. I don't want the resentment of the families of the dead in the ancient capital to be directed at my father. I want to clear the name of the Mu family of Bocheng and prove our innocence!" Mu Ningxue interrupted Mo Fan and said with a firm gaze.

"Okay, but I hope you won't let your emotions get the better of you," Jiang Han said.

"Hmm." Mu Ningxue bit her red lips, her hands clenched tightly, and her murderous eyes softened slightly.

The latest novel is first published here!

This is the path Mu Ningxue chose, and neither Jiang Han nor Mo Fan has the right to interfere. Therefore, this trip to Chongming Island has one more person, making a total of four people if you include Lingling.

Under Leng Qing's arrangement, Jiang Han and his three companions successfully entered Chongming Island. Because of Jiang Han's God-like perspective, the four did not encounter any ambushes by the Black Vatican as in the original story. Instead, they infiltrated the Black Vatican's stronghold in Zhenming Town on the island through the "clues" found by Jiang Han.
