Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 456 A Hidden Corner

After a brief moment of restraint, Wang Teng gathered all his aura and pressure, and then left the dimensional gap in the Cloud Realm.

After successfully breaking through to the Emperor level, spatial distance was no longer a problem for him, and in the blink of an eye he returned to the Moon Rain Manor in Song City.

As the end of December approaches, the temperature in Hangzhou has dropped below 10 degrees Celsius.

As Wang Teng felt the gradual chill, he realized that his perception of time seemed to be becoming blurred.

A single period of secluded cultivation can easily last for half a year, and the stronger one's strength, the longer the seclusion period will gradually become.

I spent almost the entire year in cultivation, and day and night seemed to lose their meaning.

"Hey~ you're back?"

The sound of a sports car came from behind, and Ding Yumin stuck her head out of the car window to greet it happily.

"Went for a drive?"

Wang Teng watched as she quickly ran out of the car and bumped into him.

"No~ I went to the airport and picked up Jiang Shaoxu."

"She went to Seoul to settle this year's mining revenue."

"Oh, that's good. Let's talk about it when we get back."

……

In the villa's lobby, Leng Qing rushed over to report to him as soon as she learned of his return.

"You promised Chief Executive Pang Lai that you would take over as the new Chief Executive of the Forbidden City, but we haven't been able to find you for three months."

He calls me almost every week to make sure I'm back.

"You stood him up. If he finds out you're back in a few days, he might... well, he'll give you a piece of his mind!" Leng Qing's face held a smile that said, "You're about to be finished."

"Ahem~ It's just a small matter, no need to worry about it!" Wang Teng waved his hand lightly. With his thick skin, what was a little broken promise?

Besides, the other party should already be used to him disappearing from time to time. It would be unwise not to understand this.

He originally intended to create this relaxed style so that they would be mentally prepared and not have too high expectations of him.

There's a joke that's quite apt: "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one endure even greater hardships," and "With great power comes great responsibility"—this common sense is deeply ingrained in our bones.

If he acts too capable, he'll really become a scapegoat, and countless problems will come his way.

Now it's great~ The other party's expectation of him is probably that he won't let them down at crucial moments, which is already extremely satisfying.

"Recently, I've noticed a lot of unfamiliar people wandering around Songcheng. They seem to be watching us."

Ding Yumin's face was not very pleasant. Being watched at her doorstep was indeed a very unpleasant feeling.

"Those people seem to be from Europe, not locals; they're more likely from the Holy City!"

"I've also investigated this information. It's said that the Holy City's Court of Judgment has recently set its sights on you."

"Many of them suspect that you are the master of the Death Spell, as your strength is increasing at an abnormal rate."

"The Court of Judgment has always acted in a very strange way, quite different from the Court of Justice."

Leng Qing turned to Wang Teng and said that she was also from the Trial Committee and still retained her counter-surveillance awareness.

"Heh heh~ A bunch of self-righteous stray dogs!"

Wang Teng wore a disdainful smile. Anyone who dared to appear in front of him would be wiped out. Let's see if they dare to step out of their huts and fight him.

"Do you need me to..." Leng Qing hesitated for a moment when she saw how assertive he was, and wanted to help him handle the matter indirectly.

"No need... There's no room for compromise on this. If they dare to attack us, just start fighting. Beat them to death."

"I can handle this perfectly well now."

"Don't even mention the Court of Judgment, even if you call all those old fogies from the Holy Court of Judgment together, I can make them die on the spot." Wang Teng waved his hand to stop Leng Qing from speaking.

The preconceived notion among those forbidden spellcasters regarding the sea monster emperor or the land demon emperor is that forbidden spellcasters can contend with them.

However, few people notice that the combat skills and wisdom of the emperors who evolved from humans are far superior to those of the demons!

The demons will stand there and let you control them without a care, taking a couple of your attacks without feeling any problem.

Humans can survive through wisdom and cunning, but once they grow into emperors, their fighting style will redefine the limits of their understanding.

Those who rely on cheat codes to reach the level of an emperor can hardly understand the transformation and power of a legitimate emperor.

Not to mention that as one of the most powerful warriors among the emperors, even if any one of the seven angels came, it would be useless.

Speaking of this time period, in the original work, it was when Old King was about to go to deliver warmth. If he hadn't let the sea go, would Old Mi have been able to take down Old King?

If we can't defeat the old king in this period of time, do you think we can defeat him?

If he were more ruthless, he could have started a civil war among humans before attacking the sirens, wiping out all the existing forbidden spell mages and top-tier forces.

Wang Teng quickly realized that Su Lu was about to cause trouble and provoke the Holy City, and he could also take this opportunity to kill an angel.

After all, it's just too much of an eyesore!

His breakthrough to the Emperor level in the Cloud Realm might not have been kept secret from the Holy City, after all, there was a golden dragon there, and it was unknown whether it had even noticed him at the time.

"Okay~" Ding Yumin replied firmly. Unlike Leng Qing, she didn't have so many concerns. She would just do whatever Wang Teng asked her to do.

Seeing that the three of them were somewhat silent, Wang Teng realized they probably didn't understand what the Court of Judgment's intervention meant, and their impression of the Holy City might be too idealistic.

"Don't think of the Holy City as something so wonderful; it's nothing but a bunch of charlatans."

"The Holy City you know is most likely the Court of Judgment and the Court of Heinous Judgment, but those are just puppets on the surface."

"The reason why the Holy City is called the Holy City is because they have inherited the methods left by the Heavenly Father, and the seven inheriting angels possess the combat power of an emperor."

"The resources they use to increase their strength are worldly reputation; the higher their reputation, the greater their strength will increase."

"The Holy Tribunal and the Heinous Tribunal are merely bait to show the world their authority and greatness; their ultimate goal is to gather prestige."

"They're just like the seven cardinals of the Black Vatican, except one side needs positive reputation and the other needs negative reputation."

"The fact that the seven archangels need a positive reputation does not mean that what they do is necessarily a good thing; it could also be a private matter."

"The victims you know were individuals with special magical talents who were able to bypass the Holy City's planetary system and cast spells directly."

"The effect is just like the sorcery of demons, so convenient that they cannot tolerate it."

"The characteristic of the Death Spell is that its magical power is extremely great. When it is first awakened, it is uncontrollable and can easily injure people around it."

"But is this kind of problem so difficult to solve? Just find a separate base and carefully cultivate them, and they will become the future pillars of the Demon Court."

Wang Teng highly praised and recommended the Art of Suffering, saying, "How can you become a strong person without cheating? If there were no legacy left behind, the Holy City would have long since faded into dust."

"The Holy City dealt with these people in two ways: if they agreed to join them and serve them, they would be allowed to live; if they disagreed, they would be sealed away or executed. That was the result."

"They will not allow any power beyond their control to exist, and the higher-ups behind those people are also very clear about the development potential of the Death Technique."

"Why don't you make a bold guess? Could the founder of the Holy City and the Parthenon be the one who possessed the Death Spell?" Wang Teng paused here.

The three women were utterly shocked and incredulous upon hearing this; the information was completely beyond their comprehension.

"I have indeed heard Old Man Bao talk about the secrets of the Holy City, but it's nowhere near as detailed as you've described."

"And the signs of action in the Holy City do indeed match the information you provided!"

Leng Qing sighed softly. Based on the information Wang Teng provided, it was as if a hidden corner of the world's top had been revealed in her mind.
