The Cold Prince stood on an Underworld Monarch Frog in his long robe. He was staring at Northguard Fortress in the distance.

“Master, don’t worry, the Sphinx is going to destroy the wall very soon.” Unas stood beside him with an alluring smile.

The Cold Prince remained still. Orange Ghost was standing behind him as his bodyguard, together with several respectful Blue Deacons.

“I need more hate to obtain enough power!” Cold Prince stated.

The entire North Valley would be brimming with hatred by now if it wasn’t for the Great Wall. The strength of evil faith was going to pour into his body like a heavenly spring.

“There was a little accident, but the outcome is still going to be the same,” Unas said.

The Cold Prince turned around and stared at Unas.

Unas knew the Cold Prince was in a bad mood. She immediately fell quiet and lowered her head.

“Why are you showing your face still? Who gives you the right to be staring at me?” the Cold Prince looked past Unas. He was talking to Mo Fan, who was standing behind Unas.

Mo Fan immediately lowered his head. However, a hint of rage was surging in his heart.

Mo Fan finally understood the Cold Prince’s goal. The guy believed in the strength of evil faith. He believed that when people across the world focused hatred on a specific person, it would grant the person greater power.

The Cold Prince had earned his reputation during the Incident of the Red Mediterranean Sea, but the trampling by the pyramid’s army would make him a god!

It was difficult to imagine how someone could even come up with such terrifying beliefs, insisting on spreading pain like a plague!

The Cold Prince did not haggle over Mo Fan’s disrespectful act. He went forward to the top of the Underworld Monarch Frog’s head.

Unas followed slowly.

“Are you angry?” Blue Bat asked with a soft voice that only Mo Fan could hear her.

“What do you mean?” Mo Fan pretended to be unaware of what she was referring to.

“That Unas has the contract,” Blue Bat said.

Mo Fan did not respond. It was true that he did not expect Unas to have his contract. Otherwise, the moment Violet Ghost died, he would have killed the Cold Prince, Unas, Orange Ghost, and the rest of ‘his superiors’ in an instant.

They still had a chance once the superiors of the Black Vatican were dead!

“I didn’t expect Violet Ghost to be that cunning. He was only a decoy. Unas is the one holding the contract…” Blue Bat added.

“What are you trying to say?” Mo Fan did not understand what Blue Bat was going on about.

“I think I know who you are; you aren’t Northdeer,” Blue Bat said to him.

Mo Fan frowned. A strong murderous intent burst out of his eyes.

Mo Fan would not have trouble killing Blue Bat in an instant with his current cultivation. The creatures of the Underworld were everywhere around them. Even if the Cold Prince and Unas discovered Blue Bat had died suddenly, they would only assume she had been killed by the undead.

Mo Fan would not hesitate to kill her, even though she had been great company so far. Blue Bat seemed a little different than the other members of the Vatican, but even if she had not seen through his disguise, he would have to kill her eventually, too!

“Relax. If I die, you will seriously have a hard time getting rid of the contract… I know you can forcibly terminate the contract, but the price your soul has to pay is just too huge. You wouldn’t want to go that far unless you are left with no choice, right?” Blue Bat demurred.

“I don’t really care if you blow my cover now,” Mo Fan replied calmly.

“Aren’t you curious why I didn’t blow your cover?” Blue Bat raised her head. Her innocent yet mature face did not show any hint of fear toward him, but seemed interested in him, instead…

“Who are you? You don’t look like someone who is willing to devote yourself to that maniac,” Mo Fan asked.

There was indeed something strange about Blue Bat. Mo Fan initially thought Violet Ghost had purposely arranged her to keep an eye on him, hence why she was always by his side. However, it seemed like he had thought wrong…

“Are you confused about why I was able to see through your cover, even though you’ve done such a perfect job?” Blue Bat inquired.

“Please enlighten me,” Mo Fan replied. He was not worried that Blue Bat had seen through his disguise.

Mo Fan knew Unas was unlikely to die. The woman was good at hiding herself. She did not even participate in the attack on Northguard Fortress, and was observing from atop an Underworld Monarch Frog instead. It was impossible for Zhao Manyan to kill her!

As such, Mo Fan had no reason to wait any longer.

The Cold Prince only had Orange Ghost, Unas, and a few Blue Deacons with him. He was more vulnerable than when the ceremony had started. Mo Fan was planning to forcibly terminate the contract to awaken the power of the demon inside him…

The power of the Demon Element might weaken significantly when his soul was damaged, but he should have no problem taking out the Cold Prince and the others!

Since Mo Fan had already made up his mind, he could not care less if Blue Bat had seen through him!

That being said, Mo Fan was still curious. Why hadn’t Blue Bat exposed him?

Mo Fan did not believe Blue Bat had some affection for him just because they had spent some time together, considering his current appearance. It might be possible if his face was not ruined…

“I have met you before. Even though I didn’t participate in the two ceremonies that my master held, I have met you before coincidentally,” Blue Bat explained blatantly.

“Master?” Mo Fan was even more confused.

“Violet Ghost had my contract, so I’m grateful that you’ve killed him… there’s no need to deny it, I know you asked someone to get rid of him,” Blue Bat said.

“So be it,” Mo Fan replied indifferently.

“Now that I’m free, I’m able to carry out my mission in advance… didn’t you want to know who my master is? Just stay here and watch,” Blue Bat smiled. She looked quite mysterious.

Mo Fan remained in place. He watched Blue Bat head to the top of the Underworld Monarch Frog.

Mo Fan had no idea if Blue Bat was trying to expose him. Either way, the minute or two was not going to make any difference…

“Cold Prince,” Blue Bat walked up to the Cold Prince and Unas, and called the Red Cardinal’s name directly.

The Cold Prince turned around and hissedfuriously, “Even a petty b**ch like you dares to disrespect me, too? Are you mocking me because everything isn’t going according to our plan? Do you want me to skin you alive!?”

“Ah…” Blue Bat let out a sigh with a naive look. “You have read my mind.”

The Cold Prince felt like exploding upon hearing that. A mere Blue Deacon dared to look down at him! He glared at Unas, instead of doing anything to Blue Bat.

Unas’ face twisted. She took a step toward Blue Bat. It was quite obvious that she had a strong murderous intent.

“I’m returning the favor on behalf of my master, to thank you for the show at the Parthenon Temple that you and the Supreme Pontiff had planned…” Blue Bat continued calmly.
