Chapter 1397 One Less Red Cardinal Translated by XephiZ Edited by Aelryinth The anger on the Cold Prince’s twisted face was instantly replaced by disbelief. He realized who Blue Bat’s master was right away. Even he felt a great chill running down his spine when that person’s face and icy aura surfaced in his mind! He did not display his emotions, trying his best to remain calm on the surface. Meanwhile, Unas, who was burning with rage, suddenly spasmed, spitting out a mouthful of black blood with an unusual odor. It splattered on the luxurious robe of the Cold Prince that represented his identity as a Red Cardinal. It took the Cold Prince, who was about to utter some disdainful remarks, completely by surprise! Unas’ mouth was leaking blood. Her face began to wilt rapidly. A woman who was blossoming with beauty just a second ago aged more than ten years in an instant. Her alluring body gradually shriveled up as she continued to vomit blood. Unas was extremely shocked, staring at Blue Bat. She had no idea when she had been exposed to the terrifying poison! Unas did not expect a Blue Deacon who had been with them for so long to actually be a traitor. Unas trusted Blue Bat more than she trusted Violet Ghost, since Blue Bat was more obedient than the latter! “You... what... what did you do to me!?” Unas kept spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Her life was draining rapidly. She looked completely different than she had just a minute ago! “It’s a return gift from my master. If Master Cold Prince continues to be naive, my master won’t mind paying you a visit personally, but when that time comes, it’s going to be for more than the death of your beloved woman!” Blue Bat jumped lightly down from the Underworld Monarch Frog’s head after finishing. Her figure faded in the air, becoming blurry, like a ghost without a physical body, before completely vanishing amid the haunting mist of the army of undead. The Cold Prince and Orange Ghost remained motionless. They had an urge to chase after Blue Bat, but they were worried that they had also been exposed to the terrifying poison. They both looked at Unas. The woman had shriveled right up. Her eyes were almost poking out of theur sockets. She labored to reach her hand out and gurgled to the Cold Prince with a mouth spilling blood, “Help...help me...” The Cold Prince looked at her with a complicated expression. He was furious and agitated. He was grieving over Unas. He was terrified, too! “Salan!” the Cold Prince suddenly screamed out with bloodshot eyes. Unas was already dead, laying cold and still on the Underworld Monarch Frog’s head. Her beauty and charm were gone. She looked just like an old woman who had died a horrid death. It was a great blow and humiliation to the Cold Prince! “The Chief Extraditor warned you not to provoke Salan...” Orange Ghost whispered. “Silence!” The Cold Prince was on the verge of losing his temper. Salan’s gift was a critical blow to him. Not only was Unas a wise advisor, she was also his most trusted subordinate. How could he possibly retain his calm after seeing his beloved Unas die such a horrible death? He was on the verge of turning into an enraged, depressed monster! The Cold Prince raged like a madman. The other Blue Deacons did not dare to move even half a step closer to him. They had no idea what the Cold Prince might do in his current state! — Mo Fan remained still. His face was covered with disbelief, too. What Blue Bat had done had taken him completely by surprise. After all, the way Violet Ghost and the others treated Blue Bat indicated they had all trusted her to be absolutely loyal to the Cold Prince. She even made great contributions during the Incident of the Red Mediterranean Sea. If it wasn’t because Blue Bat was not too fussy about being promoted to higher ranks or earning fame and glory, she would have been one of the Cold Prince’s most reliable subordinates by now... But even a person like that turned out to be Salan’s pawn! It did not matter if she was loyal to Salan all along or had switched sides halfway, it was still extremely terrifying to think about! “Master is actually quite fond of you. The world is going to mistreat you one day. Why don’t you consider joining master if you find yourself with nowhere to go?” a voice came into Mo Fan’s ears like a ghost. Mo Fan knew it was none other than Blue Bat. It turned out that Blue Bat was stronger than Mo Fan had expected. Perhaps she had concealed her strength because she was bound by Violet Ghost’s contract, or to protect her cover... Mo Fan had been with Blue Bat almost all the time after he had infiltrated the Black Vatican, yet he had never suspected her of being Salan’s disciple! “There are things you can never forgive. I know you haven’t done much evil, so if you choose to leave the Black Vatican and Salan now, I will spare your life,” Mo Fan replied. “Hehe...” Blue Bat giggled. Her voice was pleasant and charming. “Actually, I didn’t see through your cover until you spread the Dark Matter into Violet Ghost’s body. I’ve done you a favor in return, by killing Unas. If we fight one another, will you show me mercy and spare my life if I lose?” “What do you think?” Mo Fan asked in return. “I guess you’re going to kill me still.” Blue Bat had remained a discrete distance away from Mo Fan, making sure Mo Fan could not find out where she really was. Blue Bat seemed to know something. She dared not stay too close to Mo Fan! It was true that she could not afford to stay too close to Mo Fan now. Even Salan would be intimidated by Mo Fan when his blood began to boil! “Try not to do too many bad things; perhaps I might hesitate to kill you when the time comes,” Mo Fan offered. “If that’s the case, does that mean I’m more successful than Fang Shaoli?” Mo Fan’s heart turned cold at the mention of Fang Shaoli. Mo Fan was extremely familiar with the poison that Blue Bat had used on Unas. It was the same poison that Fang Shaoli was using at the ranch, but it was even deadlier than before! Salan was good at alchemy. She had mixed some deadly chemicals she had invented with the rain that had triggered the Calamity of Bo City and the Calamity of the Ancient Capital. She had also used poison to intimidate the authorities at the Parthenon Temple, and it seemed like her disciples had inherited her talents. Mo Fan had already met two of Salan’s students, and each of them had successfully left a strong impression on him. He wondered how many disciples Salan had... But now was not the time to worry about that! His demon blood was gradually heating up, becoming restless the moment the chains were lifted... The world was going to have one less Red Cardinal after today!
