Versatile Mage

antly smash the ice to pieces!”

“My Ice Magic’s freezing is pretty normal too.
Mu Ningxue can easily freeze a huge area with her Innate Ice Domain, but it’s a strenuous task for me, and would cost me a huge amount of energy, too,” Mu Bai agreed, shaking his head.

Mu Ningxue was able to freeze the surface of an ocean, but that did not mean he could do it too.
It was not about his cultivation, but his capabilities!

“I hated fighting on water the most,” Mo Fan shrugged, considering the ocean his greatest nemesis.

“Why don’t you ask your teacher if she has any ideas?” Jiang Shaoxu proposed.

“Yeah, she has been here for quite some time.
She should know what the creatures in the water are and how to deal with them,” Zhao Manyan said.

“What teacher?” Mu Bai had to ask.

The group found Tangyue and the others, who were watching the sea from the cliff.

This time, it was not just Li Dong and Zhu Min with her; another nine members of the Enforcement Union were standing behind her too.
They seemed to be taking orders from Tangyue.
The two Enforcers who were patrolling the cliff while smoking last night were among them.
They seemed to be worn out, whether it was because they had been working overnight, or they had gone to enjoy themselves somewhere in town.

“These Enforcers seriously lack some discipline,” Lingling murmured after observing Tangyue’s men from a distance.

“Mm, I bet they are a bunch of seniors who aren’t really controlled by their superiors,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan had often crossed paths with the Enforcement Union.
Most Enforcers had a stern aura, but judging from the attitudes of the two who were patrolling the cliff last night and the behaviors of the others today, it was very likely that Tangyue was leading a bunch of useless Enforcers.

The Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union had been around for a long time, and had been reluctant to obey the Lingyin Enforcement Union’s orders for many years.
Tangyue was like an ambitious general assigned to a camp of unambitious soldiers.
It explained why the case was not yet resolved.
How was it possible to resolve such a tricky situation without an elite squad?

“Vice Chief, please don’t treat our lives as a joke.
How can we even make it to Dawn Island with our numbers? Even if we did, how are we going to make it back alive? The lives of a hundred townsfolk that were poisoned are precious, but ours aren’t?” a middle-aged man who had been patrolling the cliff last night said.
He was even holding a cigarette between his fingers, as if he was going to light it at any second.

“Vice Chief, we want to save their lives too, but if you are only planning to bring the few of us along, there’s no way we can make it alive according to the information we’ve gathered.
If we all die, Wanggui Town is seriously in deep trouble,” another Enforcer added.

Tangyue’s chest was rising with her angry breathing.
These Enforcers of Nanxi Mountain Enforcement Union were beyond unreliable!

It had already been a month, but they had failed to find any useful clues, nor had they come up with a plan to resolve the situation.
They did not even investigate the island.
She could not help but wonder why the Magic Association and the country even bothered feeding these people!

Every job given to the Enforcement Union was supposed to be dangerous for normal Mages.
Otherwise, why would they call themselves Enforcers?

“You’re dismissed!” Tangyue knew there was no point venting her anger on these people.
They had no intention of risking their lives.

The people were relieved as soon as they heard the word.
They all quickly went on their way, leaving Tangyue behind alone.
