Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 474 - 376: The Cunning Elder Mage

The passage to the Magic World from the Spirit Realm is a massive array on a mountaintop.

Those Otherworld creatures did have some brains after all.

Except for the gathering areas where those alien creatures clustered, they didn’t reveal the purpose of this trip as they encountered other alien creatures along the way.

Otherwise, there would be ten times more people surrounding Zhao Yi.

Upon setting foot on the array platform, Zhao Yi and Xu Yue’Er almost didn’t react before vanishing from where they stood.

It was only then that Zhao Yi suddenly remembered a question.

Where did the Taotie go?

When they encountered the siege at the alien creature gathering area, the Taotie disappeared.

Distracted by the alien creatures, and then being engrossed in sightseeing on the road, Zhao Yi ended up forgetting about the Taotie.

The Taotie’s intelligence wasn’t much better than these alien creatures.

Without Zhao Yi around, it was very likely to have been turned into a snack by those alien creatures!

While pondering this, Zhao Yi suddenly saw a world completely different from the previous one.

Aside from the dense Spiritual Energy and numerous trees, the Spirit Realm’s environment and climate were very similar to the Cultivation World.

Zhao Yi had reason to suspect that after the sealing of the Cultivation World, the Spiritual Energy was siphoned to the Spirit Realm, otherwise, these two worlds wouldn’t be so similar.

Compared to the Cultivation World, the Magic World was a completely different style.

The Magic World also had many towering mountains and giant trees, most of which Zhao Yi had never seen before.

This made Zhao Yi, who was traveling far across worlds for the first time, incredibly curious and found everything along the way novel.

"What do you plan to do?"

After taking in the scenery for a while, Zhao Yi, noticing Hertz and the other alien creatures standing near the passage without moving, couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Zhao Yi felt that these alien creatures seemed very experienced, as if they had a complete manual for gaining a Divine Format to refer to.

This was very strange.

Clearly, Zhao Yi had heard these alien creatures say that the Spirit Realm and the Three Thousand Small Worlds hadn’t seen a Sage fall in hundreds of thousands of years. Where did they get their experience from?

Though Hertz was displeased with Zhao Yi for revealing crucial Magic World information, Zhao Yi’s ongoing cooperation led him to lower his guard somewhat, making his attitude toward Zhao Yi less harsh and hostile.

Upon hearing Zhao Yi’s question, Hertz snorted and said, "The one who fell was the Undead Magic God. To obtain the Divine Format of the Undead Magic God, one must first practice Undead Magic."

Practice Undead Magic?

On hearing there was a chance to learn magic, Zhao Yi was instantly stimulated once more.

Though the Sage of Time had deemed him talentless in learning magic, Zhao Yi still couldn’t help but want to give it a try.

The Sage of Time had been trapped in the Cultivation World for hundreds of thousands of years, and over such long periods, what if there had been innovations in the practice methods of Magic World?

Zhao Yi knew of someone without magic talent who, after attaching a horn to their head, connected to some kind of ’antenna’ that allowed them not only to learn magic but also reach the pinnacle of the Magic God realm.

Unable to cultivate, Zhao Yi’s best bet to master extraordinary powers was to learn magic.

Hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and the dominating forces in the Cultivation World had turned over multiple times, while over in the Magic World, even if they were pigs, the mages should have made some progress!

Immediately, with excitement, Zhao Yi asked, "So where should we go to learn Undead Magic?"

Hertz, missing the ’we’ in Zhao Yi’s question, maintained a straight face and replied, "Undead Mages carry a nauseating aura of death. We Wood Element Mages are most familiar with this aura; once I release my magic aura, those Undead Mages wouldn’t escape my detection even if they hide underground!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi hurriedly urged, "Then what are you waiting for? Quickly release your magic aura; what if those Undead Mages escape?"

Hertz didn’t respond to Zhao Yi’s words.

Although he said nothing, his expression clearly showed his disdain for Zhao Yi’s ignorance.

At this moment, Hertz’s green magic robe suddenly flapped loudly.

"Found it!"

A bright light flashed through Hertz’s eyes, and suddenly pointing his magic staff in a direction, he announced loudly, "A hundred kilometers from here, there’s an Undead Mage hiding there!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding alien creatures immediately perked up, shouting in unison, and swiftly flew toward the direction Hertz’s magic staff indicated.

Only then did Zhao Yi realize that this Wood Element Mage had been releasing magic aura all along. The alien creatures hadn’t made a move yet because they were waiting for Hertz’s final result.

"No wonder the old man looked at me with such disdain before!"

Even as Zhao Yi marveled internally, he felt increasingly fascinated by magic.

"Aren’t we going?"

Seeing the alien creatures all gone, and Hertz still unmoved, Zhao Yi couldn’t help but ask curiously.

Having witnessed the wonders of magic, Zhao Yi assumed that Hertz, standing still, must be continuing to locate the Undead Mage, growing more intrigued by his gaze. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

However, upon hearing Zhao Yi’s words, Hertz suddenly drew a circle over his head with his magic staff, enveloping the two of them and a dragon within a green magic array.

Zhao Yi didn’t even have time to react before vanishing from the spot.

In the next instant, atop some nameless mountain, the green Teleportation Array revealed itself, and the two of them and a dragon stumbled out from within.

Seeing the unfamiliar scenery around him, Zhao Yi momentarily froze, then his mouth twitched hard.

Looking at Hertz, he said speechlessly, "If I’m not mistaken, Wood Magic can’t actually detect the presence of Undead Mages at all, right? You were deliberately fooling those guys just to shake them off?"

Hertz, upon hearing this, looked at Zhao Yi with a peculiar gaze, evidently not expecting Zhao Yi to be so perceptive as to see through his scheme.

Hertz nodded, "That’s right, Wood Magic indeed can’t detect Undead Mages!"

"These rumors were intentionally spread by us to intimidate those Undead Mages and deter them from wanton destruction!"

"Eventually, the rumor spread, and it became real, with more and more people believing it, even many new Wood Element Mages became firmly convinced themselves!"

After explaining, Hertz couldn’t help but scoff, "Those idiots didn’t even think it through! If Wood Magic could really detect Undead Mages, why wouldn’t we just directly exterminate all the Undead Mages? Those filthy, ugly things with their death aura are the nemesis and natural enemies of us Wood Element Mages!"

Though Zhao Yi had his suspicions, hearing Hertz’s explanation still made him shake his head somewhat.

He had previously been wrong in thinking all Otherworld creatures were fools; there were quite a few wily old foxes among them!

While Zhao Yi was pondering this, Xu Yue’Er abruptly spoke from beneath his feet.

"Master, I’ve sensed a familiar aura!"
