I Might As Well Quit This Lousy Wizard Profession

Seeing the distrust in Chen Xinmi’s eyes, Lin An licked his lips, “Believe it or not, I can indeed gather intelligence on this powerful wizard. As an undercover agent, I’m professional.”

With a slender cigarette between her fingers, Chen Xinmi sized up Lin An, “Yes, you are professional alright, undercover in the Witch Organization, then planted by them into the Witch Hunter Knights, and you’ve indeed learned some Witch-hunting Knight techniques.”

Her words were dripping with sarcasm.

Damn it!

If it weren’t for Miao Miao!

If it weren’t that Mr. Liu and Kapok are also my enemies!

I’d bloody well turn around and leave this second!

What an attitude!

He turned around, took a cold step forward, almost pressing close to Chen Xinmi, his icy eyes piercing, “Do you want to know or not?”

Chen Xinmi merely arched an eyebrow slightly, her wine-red lips parting as she exhaled smoke towards Lin An.

Medicinal smoke tastes different from cigarette smoke, with a faint scent of sandalwood and a bit of a medicinal aroma, not so choking.

Lin An couldn’t help but frown, taking a step back.

“Go on,” Chen Xinmi hooked up the corner of her mouth slightly, “I’m all ears.”

“The leader of the Mad Male Witch’s Hollow organization, Kapok, his original identity is Liu Yuanmou (Mr. Liu’s name).”

“Who?” Chen Xinmi suddenly couldn’t maintain her composure, her eyes widening as she leaned in a step closer, “Do you know what you’re talking about?”

Lin An raised an eyebrow, saying lightly, “Liu Yuanmou, former leader of the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order and a subordinate of the legendary Witch-hunting Knight Lu Tingyu.”

Chen Xinmi’s expression flickered, she shook her head, “No, your information is wrong, there was a time I was in contact with Liu Yuanmou, and Kapok was seen elsewhere at the same time. It’s no alibi, I’m certain Liu Yuanmou is an ordinary person, not even a wizard.”

As someone who had personally suppressed a wizard about to turn into a Sorcerer Zombie, Chen Xinmi had enough confidence that if Mr. Liu was really a wizard, he couldn’t deceive her.

“Before his death, Liu Yuanmou got Lu Tingyu’s research materials, a foundation enough for him to reach a very high level,” Lin An said, seeing Chen Xinmi still disbelieving, and couldn’t help chuckling, “He created an ordinary human alter ego, that is, my boss, Mr. Liu.”

“Oh, this…”

“I’ve told you, I’m a painter, skilled at observing the essence of things,” Lin An pointed to the large grey wolf in the Purgatory World, its back sprouting pine trees, “That’s Mr. Liu.”

“Don’t ask me how I know, just like how in my eyes, you appear as the image of a black cat, it’s the capture of essence,” he continued.

“You can consider it the inspiration of a painter, if you believe my intuition…”

Lin An’s face grew stern, “Maybe you can guess, the Spirit World Aura is flowing through this Mr. Liu, directly towards the witch Kapok.”

Chen Xinmi’s eyes narrowed, “Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft?”

Lin An coaxed gently, “Tell me, how do you know about this witchcraft? When I was undercover with the Witch Hunter Knights, they said not many people know about this spell.”

Chen Xinmi’s face became somber, “Liu… Liu Yuanmou!”

She held the slender cigarette, deep in thought as she gazed at the great grey wolf carrying a pine tree within the Purgatory World, torn and hesitant.

She had to figure out exactly what Mr. Liu’s situation was.

If what Lin An said was true, then perhaps the death of her parents all those years ago wasn’t as simple as she had guessed.

Furthermore, this was Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft!

It concerned whether she could save her own sister!

“I must get closer to that Sorcerer Zombie, only if I’m close enough can I make a sufficient judgment using witchcraft!” Chen Xinmi stared intently at Lin An, “Do you understand what this means? A crazed Sorcerer Zombie, the fully mobilized Witch Hunter Knights, it’s an extremely dangerous affair.”

“Wrong intel could get people killed!”

Lin An licked the corner of his mouth, smiling slightly, “I am responsible for my words.”

“Hah~” Chen Xinmi sneered, “Responsible? How?”

Responsible, how?

Lin An didn’t speak, but looked at the black cat; he took a deep breath, and his body rapidly swelled and twisted. In an instant, he had transformed into a huge black cat.

With another shrug of his shoulders, his body stretched and grew again, this time turning into the monster Zou Yu from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

The fierce teeth of Zou Yu’s lion-like head, extending from the mouth and curling upward, glistened with iridescence under the sun.

Opening its maw, it said, “I’ll take you there!”

Chen Xinmi pursed her lips and leaned back, “Don’t think about carrying me in your mouth again, that feeling is too embarrassing!”

Lin An rolled his eyes, and with a powerful sweep of his tail, he tossed Chen Xinmi onto his back. With a light leap, in an instant, he had taken her through the dimensions and into the Purgatory World.

“Lie down, we’ll approach quietly.”

He licked his lips, whispered, and swiftly leaped out from the small grove, jumping into the gaps between buildings in an alley.

His innate witchcraft Sky Drifter Eyes activated, quickly surveying the entire city from above.

A thought struck him, and he promptly called upon the Grey Wolf Spirituality he had obtained from Mr. Liu last time in the mysterious realms to assist the Sky Drifter Eyes.

In an instant, a massive eyeball materialized in the sky.

Platinum in color, adorned with tendon-like structures that resembled wings.

“Eyeball Witch Monster!”

Someone from the Witch Hunter Knights exclaimed in shock. As the Eyeball Witch Monster headed towards Yunlu Mountain, some Witch-hunting Knights promptly pursued it.

There were many types of Sorcerer Zombies.

The weakest were those newly awakened sorcerers who couldn’t handle emotional turmoil and became Sorcerer Zombies.

The next were those whose minds the witchcraft devoured; their twisted minds eroded by the Spirit World Aura until they too turned into Sorcerer Zombies, which were the most common.

Then there were the sorcerers hunted down by the Witch Hunter Knights; if a sorcerer looked like a bad person, they would torment them to expedite the maturation process. These artificially matured Sorcerer Zombies were essentially inferior products of a Sorcerer Zombie.

Only the most pinnacle wizards, who have reached the peak of their cultivation, eventually become Sorcerer Zombies because the real world can no longer contain such individuals with the Spirit Realm just within sight.

Such Sorcerer Zombies are the top echelon and fit everyone’s definition of a Sorcerer Zombie.

Great wizards, where witchcraft converges with the monstrous.

At this level, Sorcerer Zombies easily succumb to massive Spiritual Energy erosion due to even slight mental disturbances, unlike other forms of erosion.

For ordinary people with unawakened sorcerer’s bloodlines, it is the seeping and nurturing of Spiritual Energy.

For awakened wizards, it is the drip irrigation of Spiritual Energy.

For powerful wizards, it is the babbling brook of Spiritual Energy.

But only wizards who’ve transformed into Sorcerer Zombies due to emotional triggers face the floodgates of Spiritual Energy opening—a deluge of Spiritual Energy that washes away the barriers between the real world and the Spirit Realm, letting the Spirit Realm appear in the real world.

The great grey wolf with a pine growing on its back can only be considered as the babbling brook type.

The Eyeball Witch Monster, now that is the kind of great wizard who at any moment could unleash a flood of Spiritual Energy, bringing about the descent of the Spirit Realm and the erosion of the real cities.

Seeing this, the Antler Witch-Hunting Knight Order couldn’t afford to slowly nurture the pine grey wolf into the most suitable state for smelting in the Furnace, or the tastiest one. Instead, the main force detached in an instant and gave chase toward the Eyeball Witch Monster.

Professor Cao, Doctor Zhang…
The original place was left with just three Antler Witch Hunter Knights. Yes, indeed, three were enough to handle such a creature.

“Stay alert!”

The slim Witch-hunting Knight, who normally wore a lab coat, stayed put, organizing the remaining two knights to hunt the Sorcerer Zombie, “I suspect this is a ‘luring the tiger away from the mountain’ tactic. Be careful of a sneak attack at any moment!”

“I’m on lookout; you deal with it!” A Knight with ‘Wu You’ written in clerical script on his mask said, suddenly dragging out a large bell from the eyeglass storage and smacking it with his left hand.

“Dong~~~~”
The powerful soundwave spread, rippling the surrounding sands into waves upon waves.

Wu You was Doctor Zhang’s daughter, and Lin An recognized her.

Carrying Chen Xinmi, he ducked back into the alley of the clay high-rises and turned to ask her, “Can you make observations from this distance?”

Chen Xinmi’s magnetic voice came out through gritted teeth, “Yes, it’s Mr. Liu, I’m sure of it.”

“A clone? Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft?”

Her voice was cold, “Mr. Liu must be feeling quite smug now, with the endless Spiritual Energy washing over this clone, turning into Demonic Qi suitable for purification by the Furnace. He…”

She was so enraged that she found herself struggling to continue. A sense of mocking was pervading her soul, the death of her parents, the every detail of the life arrangements Mr. Liu had made for her and her sister afterwards, and later Mr. Liu’s own initiative to plead to be an undercover agent—all of these memories came flooding back into her mind.

Lin An’s expression, however, was quite strange.

He didn’t know whether Mr. Liu was feeling smug, but he knew that Mr. Liu was probably going insane now.

With Sky Drifter Eyes transforming into an Eye Wraith, they flew towards Yunlu Mountain, narrowly dodging Professor Cao’s terrifying saber Qi attacks several times, until they finally saw the scenic spot near the city at the mid-mountain peak of the Yunlu Mountain Range.

There was a lake on this main peak’s hillside, filled with crystal clear springs from the mountains.

Near one side of the rocky shore of the lake grew an exceedingly tall banyan tree.

The Eye Wraith pierced through the Purgatory World, flew to the top of the banyan tree in the real world.

Pop~
The innocent, big eyes blinked and vanished from sight.

The pursuing Witch Hunter Knights penetrated the Purgatory World and arrived in the real world, looking around cautiously.

“Damn!” Zhuang exclaimed angrily, “Have we really lost track of it again? Are they messing with us?”

In his anger, he wanted to smash the banyan tree and rocky shore nearby with his hammer, but he refrained in the end.

This was a scenic area often visited by the citizens; he didn’t want to cause damage here.

The three investigators from the ‘Southern Alliance,’ the Rabbit Eye Demon Hunters, stood by discussing among themselves.

Eventually, Feng Xin turned to Zhuang, “We have a feeling that this banyan tree is out of the ordinary, perhaps…”

Although Rabbit Eye’s Furnace Core was comparatively weaker in combat than the Antler, their ability to locate prey was unmatched by other Witch Hunter Knight schools.

Zhuang hesitated for a moment, “Are you sure? This is one of the eighteen sights of Shenhou City; I don’t want to ruin something the locals love…”

Before he could finish speaking, Professor Cao had already swung his gigantic saber, slashing towards the banyan tree.

Boom!

The lake water exploded into a giant water shield, enveloping the banyan tree and withstanding the terrible saber strike.

“Holy smokes, I gotta say holy smokes!” Zhuang’s eyes widened as he burst into laughter, “So you were hiding here!”

Professor Cao scoffed, “Everyone, combine your strength. Let’s drag it into the Purgatory World and deal with it properly!”

“Right~”
Everyone called out excitedly.

Meanwhile, Chen Xinmi was also discussing with Lin An, “If this really is the Heart-to-Heart Skewer Fragrance Witchcraft, I need to get the heart of this pine grey wolf. It’s very important!”

“Lin An, help me this time, and I’ll owe you one. Later on, you can come to me with any request, no matter how difficult, and I will help you.”

“This looks dangerous…” Lin An frowned as he looked at the pine grey wolf, feeling that its current state, influenced by the Spirit World Aura and its spirituality fused with its body, was not at all suitable for him to consume.

“Twice!” Without any hesitation, Chen Xinmi increased her offer.

“Deal!”

Lin An grinned, shrugged his shoulders, causing Chen Xinmi on his back to stumble a bit, “Hold tight and steady!”

Whoosh~
In an instant, he darted out.
