The scenery on both sides rushed past, getting further and further away from the sea of ​​fire, and Lu Shi's unease grew stronger.

Can the three Archmages really withstand one?

Li Cuiling moved quickly and soon returned to the city wall of the western district of the capital.

The summoning gate's duration has ended, and the battle between the elemental spirits and the hellish demons can no longer be seen in the sky.

The sky has cleared up, and everything seems to have returned to its beginning.

Lu Shi sighed, thinking that Zhang Junshang and his group must have completed their mission. With the magic circle destroyed, the hell demons, lacking reinforcements, were mostly wiped out by the elemental spirits, and the rest were also killed by the mages of the capital.

However, after Li Cuiling led Lu Shi onto the city wall, Lu Shi discovered that the densely packed mages standing on the wall had all disappeared, with only a few scattered individuals still guarding key positions.

"Chenyi, come and watch over your junior sister. I'm going to the East District to help out." Li Cuiling beckoned Wu Chenyi over.

"Master, is Junior Sister alright?" Wu Chenyi, looking exhausted, rushed to Li Cuiling and her disciple's side.

"She should be fine. Your junior sister is amazing. First, she killed the projection of some important figure, and then she managed to hold out until the three Archmages arrived." Li Cuiling stared at Lu Shi with a smile on her face. "Alright, take good care of your junior sister. I'm going now."

After saying that, she transformed into a fire spirit, flew into the sky, and headed towards the East District.

"Senior brother."

"Junior sister."

Lu Shi and Wu Chenyi spoke almost simultaneously.

"Junior sister, you go first!" Wu Chenyi gestured for her to speak.

"Senior brother, what exactly happened in the East District?"

Lu Shi looked towards the East District. Where once towering buildings stood, many were now belching black smoke, and several of the tallest landmarks had collapsed. Faint shadows could still be seen moving through the thick black smoke, with flashes of magical light occasionally appearing in the air.

"Sigh, it's all because of those bastards from the Shadow Demon Society. They somehow opened a passage to the Monster Forest, and now a lot of low-level monsters without intelligence are flooding into the East District, causing chaos everywhere. Fortunately, some great mage opened a passage to the Elemental Spirit plane, allowing the Elemental Spirits to fight those hellish demons in the sky to the death, which freed up all the mages to rush to the aid of the East District."

Wu Chenyi explained patiently.

"The Shadow Society? It's them again." Lu Shi's anger was about to explode.

"Junior sister, are you alright? You disappeared when the dark clouds were gathering. Not long ago, after the demons of hell were annihilated, Guild Master Long suddenly descended in his true form, accompanied by the true forms of three great mages. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of battle in the East District, it seems Guild Master Long wanted to go out and rescue you, and finally instructed Master to take the three great mages to save you. Junior sister, what kind of powerful beings did you offend that required the true forms of three great mages to come out and save you?"

Wu Chenyi, like a curious child, asked several questions in one go.

"It's alright. It's just that one member of the Shadow Society personally showed up and revealed his true form to deal with me." Lu Shi said it so casually.

"Oh, it's Yi! Then it really is... what? Yi, that legendary Shadow Demon who almost destroyed the world, you know he almost slaughtered the capital all by himself back then. He even used his true form, no wonder it took three Archmage Gods to come out together." Wu Chenyi's mentality was a bit broken.

"Unfortunately, he still took away the most important thing from me!" Lu Shi said with some sadness.

"Junior sister, the most important thing is that you're alive. Only by living can you contribute!" Wu Chenyi held Lu Shi's hand and earnestly comforted her.

“Yes! At least I’m still alive.” Lu Shi nodded.

"Teacher Lu."

The shouts of a group of students interrupted Wu Chenyi's attempt to comfort himself.

Wu Chenyi hurriedly and awkwardly let go of her hand, coughed, and turned around to face the group of students running towards him.

They were all acquaintances who had come to participate in the Magic High School Tournament.

Six students from J City, students from the capital high school, and some other high school students—a total of fifty or sixty people—were all rescued by Lu Shi from the dark space.

The one who made the sound was... Huang Junya.

"Teacher Lu, I was so worried about you!" Huang Junya threw herself into Lu Shi's arms and said coquettishly.

"Little girl, I'm fine!" Lu Shi smiled and touched Huang Junya's pretty face.

“Teacher Lu, we also want to go and support Dongcheng District, but no one is leading us, and they won’t let us go,” Zhang Qinglan said earnestly, pointing to the location of Dongcheng District.

“Yes! Teacher Lu, please take us there. The monsters in the East District are all low-level magical beasts. If you lead us, it will be like a practical lesson. We can also contribute our strength to eliminate those magical beasts that have invaded the East District.” Zhou Rui rushed up to Lu Shi and pleaded in the same coquettish manner.

As she spoke, she and Huang Junya exchanged a glance, and it seemed as if they both saw sparks in each other's eyes.

"Don't go and cause trouble. So many magicians have gone to the East City, trust them." Lu Shi held down the two little girls, but her mind was wandering elsewhere.

In the direction of Qinshan, red flames illuminated the sky.

The fierce battle between the three magic gods and one looked like a larger-scale operation than the East District.

"Teacher Lu, look!" Wu Lie suddenly pointed towards the East District and shouted.

Lu Shi hurriedly turned her head. What she saw was more than a dozen black figures floating in the sky above the East District, their faint aura sending chills down her spine.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Chairman Long was also floating in the air, with more than twenty figures floating around him.

The two sides faced each other in the air, neither making a move.

“Those are members of the Shadow Society!” Lu Shi’s eyes narrowed.

Judging from their aura, many of them possessed strength above the Super Rank. That meant that these people were the strongest combatants in the Shadow Demon Society's ranks two through nine, and even in the teens.

"Blind Dragon, with three old men held back by a leader, the rest of you worthless bastards can't stop us." A dark figure floated at the front of the Shadow Society's ranks, mocking Guild Leader Dragon.

"You bunch of rats who can't stand the light of day, you usually don't dare to utter a sound, but this time you've colluded with the Divine Beast Alliance, thinking that with the Divine Beasts leading the way, you can run into the sunlight and swagger around?" President Long retorted sharply.

“Even without those divine beasts, we still have the advantage. We still have two Archmages, while you are just a bunch of forbidden spells. Today, by annihilating you, we will wipe out all the high-end combat forces of the Magic Association and the military region. From now on, this world will be ruled by our Shadow Society.”

"That's wishful thinking. Even if we have to self-destruct, we'll drag you all down with us."

"Enough with the nonsense, let's see what we've got."

A disagreement broke out, and a chaotic battle began in the sky.

In the great battle between the God of Magic and the mages who primarily use forbidden spells, even those of higher rank are merely cannon fodder.

The damage caused by these few dozen people even exceeded that of the tens of thousands of monsters that entered the East District.

The sky was obscured by magical light, the multicolored rays so dazzling that it was impossible to open one's eyes.

However, it was clear that Chairman Long's side was being suppressed.

"Teacher Lu, think of something! If this continues, the Shadow Society is going to win!" Huang Junya shook Lu Shi's hand and said anxiously.

How could a mere super-level being interfere in the battle of a forbidden spell god?

Lu Shi gave a wry smile.

However, if the Shadow Society wins, he will always be called the God of Slaughter by them.

They've already killed dozens of them. If they really do rule the world, I'll probably be the first one they kill.

We'll give it our all.

Since we can no longer absorb souls.

Then I'll force the weight of my soul into the forbidden spell.

As the strength of one's soul increases, one also becomes stronger.

Even if you go completely insane, it's better than waiting to die.

Lu Shi no longer hesitated, and the little figure in her consciousness space reached out to the container with both hands.

Let me go crazy one last time!
