Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

With Lin Chen's top-tier mental strength and sufficient resources, breaking through to the Super level would be a piece of cake.

Currently, only a few less frequently used magic systems were still lingering at the High level. Lin Chen went all out, determined to break through them all.

Time passed day by day. When the last Curse system broke through to the Super level, Lin Chen finally ended this secluded cultivation.

After Lin Chen left the Spirit Realm, his body wasn't tired from cultivation, but his mind was. Just as Lin Chen was about to relax, he saw a bloody light appear in the sky.

“Buzz~~~~~~~~!!!”

“Buzz~~~~~~~~!!!”

“Buzz~~~~~~~~!!!”

“Buzz~~~~~~~~!!!”

Accompanying the bloody light, an incomparably majestic bell sound rang out.

The bell echoed in his ears for a long time, seeming to possess a special magic that could inexplicably put people on alert.

“It's finally starting!” Lin Chen murmured, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.

Four signals in a row showed the urgency of the situation. This type of signal was a broad call for help, usually with mages voluntarily providing support. However, if four signals were sent in a row, mages affiliated with academies, magic associations, hunter alliances, and major families were generally required to go. If anyone was found deliberately shirking or leaving, they would be directly removed from their forces and organizations.

...

The North Main City Tower was located outside the North Outer City Gate. The city tower was much larger than the Corner City Tower. It was simply a towering and majestic sword pavilion fortress standing on the city wall!

The assembly signal was sent from here. When Lin Chen arrived, Mo Fan and the others were already there. The city tower road in this area was already packed, but judging from the mage badges on their chests, most of them were still Elementary level mages.

“Please, Intermediate and higher-level mages, come to the city tower. Other mages, please stay where you are and wait for orders!” A loud voice came down, echoing in everyone's ears.

So, a sparse number of Intermediate mages began to ascend the city tower, gathering in a hall on the city tower. This hall was spacious at the front and back, so they could see the dark land outside the city at a glance.

“Are these all the people?” A somewhat rough and deep voice came out.

At the staircase leading to the higher pavilions, a man with a full beard walked down with extraordinary bearing, followed by a palace guard and a military commander.

“Greetings, Councilor!”

“Greetings, Councilor!”

Lin Chen arrived late, so he stood at the back, but he was still spotted by Zhu Meng. The two had had some unpleasantness before, and Lin Chen had even made Zhu Meng lose face, but Zhu Meng had long forgotten about those things. At this moment, when he recognized Lin Chen, a look of joy appeared on his face.

He was very clear about Lin Chen's strength. With Lin Chen's help, he had a greater grasp of dealing with this crisis.

“Why did you come to the Ancient Capital?” Zhu Meng asked curiously.

Zhu Meng's question attracted everyone's attention, including Mo Fan and the others. After seeing Lin Chen, smiles appeared on the faces of Mo Fan and the others, but because Zhu Meng was present, they stood obediently in place and didn't say much.

Lin Chen smiled slightly and said, “I just happened to be passing by. You should hurry up and talk about business. Everyone is waiting!”

The corners of Zhu Meng's mouth twitched. Just happened to be passing by… That was quite a strange answer. However, the important thing was the matter at hand, so he didn't dwell on it too much.

“I am very happy that everyone can come here, but I have an unfortunate message to tell you!” Zhu Meng said expressionlessly.

As he said these words, Zhu Meng stepped on his high black boots and walked towards the edge of the hall, standing at the railing carved with dragons and phoenixes.

“A Death Gorge has appeared 30 kilometers directly north!!!”

When he said the words 'Death Gorge,' Councilor Zhu Meng even let out a sigh, as if even he himself was unwilling to mention the term.

“Death Gorge??”

“How could this thing appear so close to the city? Could there be a mistake?” A hunter mage said loudly.

Mo Fan didn't know about Death Gorges. After some understanding, he also learned about the terror of Death Gorges.

“We were summoned here, could it be to resist the Death Gorge? This thing is impossible to resist, especially since we are just Intermediate mages!!!” Someone said in fear.

“Places where Death Gorges appear will leave behind a very strong aura of death. It is estimated that many Warrior-level undead and Lord-level undead will gather there soon… I hope everyone here will guard the city tower tonight. Once that group of high-level undead show signs of approaching, everyone must eliminate them!”

“As long as I don't have to explore the Death Gorge, I have no problem at all!” A student said.

“Councilor, don't worry, we may not be able to compete with the huge Death Gorge, but if any demons take advantage of the Death Gorge to cause trouble, we will definitely eradicate them. This is the duty of us mages!”

“I have no problem either, I am willing to guard all night!”

“Count me in!”

“Count me in too!”

When the mages heard that they were not being asked to find trouble with the Death Gorge, they were all relieved. As for guarding the city, they didn't have any resistance. Everyone who appeared in this area naturally had the heart to eliminate the undead. Helping the government guard for a night was not a problem at all. There were more than forty Intermediate-level mages and four or five High-level mages present. With the combat power of this group of people, even if a Commander-level undead appeared, they could definitely contend with it.

“Roar~~~~~~!!!”

Just as everyone was expressing their willingness to contribute, a roar that shook the steel walls of the city violently came from under the dim sky in the north!

Everyone felt deafened, as if a huge shock wave was hitting the city with the majestic momentum of covering the horizon.

Councilor Zhu Meng, Chief Instructor Fei Jiao, and General Commander of the North Wall Lu Xu all changed their expressions and turned around, staring in horror at the dark giant shadow in the distance…

“It's him again. He wants to take advantage of the death aura brought about by this Death Gorge to gather more undead and break through the north wall in one fell swoop!” Zhu Meng said angrily.

“This is terrible. This Undead Monarch already rules an army of millions of undead. Now, with the help of the Death Gorge, he will be even more unstoppable. We must request reinforcements again!” The military advisor said.

“It is already difficult to dispatch more personnel!” Military Commander Lu Xu said in a deep voice.

“No, our forces are limited, but the undead are endless. If we can't survive this night, the north wall will be completely breached by this Undead Monarch, and the north district will be a sea of blood!” Chief Instructor Fei Jiao said.

“It seems that we must implement the plan we formulated earlier!” Zhu Meng said with a frown.
