Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 461 Unpredictable Turbulence

In just one day, news of the House of Judgments' unsuccessful attempt spread to all media outlets both at home and abroad.

In this era of convenient information exchange, many things cannot be kept secret, especially when someone with ulterior motives is secretly pushing things along.

International powers are watching the Holy City’s next move closely, with one of the top magical forces being the most active.

As night fell, Songcheng attracted countless foreigners, causing nearby hotels and guesthouses to be packed to capacity.

However, they did not come here for tourism, but for various purposes, or even just to join in the fun.

The Moon Rain Manor is brightly lit at this moment.

"So you came here just for this?"

Wang Teng greeted the forbidden spell master from the Dubai Temple Tower in the lobby!

"Congressman Wang Teng, our Speaker Su Lu has already said that as long as you join the Dubai Temple Tower, we can protect the safety of you and those around you."

"We will shield you from all forces in the Holy City that are directed against you!"

"And that's our confidence!"

Xi Zhe's body radiated a powerful aura of forbidden magic, his face filled with immense pride and the unique arrogance of a forbidden magic master.

"I appreciate your kindness, but I have no intention of joining another faction."

"I heard that your Speaker Su Lu subdued the Black Dragon some time ago. It seems he has big ambitions."

"Trying to recruit me during this busy period, I suppose you're also in a rush to hire people. Are you planning something big?"

Wang Teng did not accept the other party's offer. Su Lu was a typical example of someone with ambitions higher than the sky but fate lower than paper, thinking that he could defeat the angels of the Holy City with just a few forbidden spells.

Although he looked down on that birdman who was dressed up as an emperor, he was indeed quite capable. At least among non-orthodox emperors, his deterrent power was top-notch.

Did they really think that a forbidden spellcaster could defeat a human emperor's fighting power? Without the Black Dragon's assistance, Su Lu would have had absolutely no chance of success.

This also reveals the limitations of top-tier magic combat power. It's great at crushing weaker opponents, but in high-level matches? That would be suicide.

Xi Zhe's smile gradually disappeared. He hadn't expected that the other party could also see through a clue. This was going to be difficult.

I initially thought he was just a young upstart whose strength was growing rapidly, but it turns out he's a little fox, which is a bit tricky.

"It seems that Councilor Wang Teng has heard some rumors, but that kind of information is completely unreliable."

"We're just trying to protect ourselves. Nobody wants to live in a cage forever, right?"

Xi Zhe abandoned his underestimation of the other party, and his face showed sincerity and seriousness.

At their level of strength, they should have become increasingly free, but the reality is the opposite; many of their actions are still constrained by the rules of the Holy City.

As a proud forbidden spell mage, he naturally wouldn't allow this restriction to continue.

Su Lu was the great man who led them to break free from these shackles and create a new set of rules for the magical world.

"Alright, let's end this pointless conversation."

"See the guest out."

Wang Teng waved his hand to stop the other person from speaking further. This kind of ignorant struggle, like an ant making a desperate gamble, was not worth his admiration.

If Su Lu himself were to say these words, he would be somewhat interested in hearing the other person's feelings.

"I hope you won't regret your decision tonight..."

With a hint of regret and pity in his eyes, Xi Zhe glanced one last time at Wang Teng sitting on the sofa, then turned and slowly left.

Leng Qing followed him out, watching the figure disappear into the night, her heart filled with emotion. Xi Zhe's appearance confirmed Wang Teng's previous speculation.

It seems Su Lu is really planning to go head-to-head with the Holy City!

This guy had no idea what kind of person he was following, and instead gave Wang Teng a pitiful look, which was really baffling.

Leng Qing turned around and went back to the villa, where she sat opposite Wang Teng and slowly began to brew tea.

"How many forces, both overt and covert, have contacted us?"

Wang Teng took the teacup from Leng Qing and asked calmly.

"Dozens of companies... including many countries willing to mediate, but of course their requirements are very strict, requiring you to immigrate there."

Leng Qing couldn't help but laugh as she said this. Those people were really just dreaming; after all that talk, they were just trying to get something for nothing.

Because of her relationship with the former priest, many people internationally contacted her, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to rob her or try to persuade her.

The Holy City naturally has many supporters, with a significant portion coming from powerful families, a portion from national powers, and many renowned figures in the demonic path.

Wang Teng's direct killing of so many high-ranking mages from the Inquisition would naturally enrage them. As for how to deal with it, that remains to be seen.

One thing is certain: the other side won't use assassin tactics to ambush; they will definitely come over openly and honestly.

This aligns perfectly with the other party's style of doing things and their need for prestige. If they were to sneak in, it would only tarnish the Holy City's reputation, regardless of the outcome.

"Wang Teng, you were too impulsive this time!"

An aged voice echoed through the villa, and a figure dressed in a black robe appeared at the villa's entrance.

Pang Lai's face was unusually serious and earnest, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

"It must have been a long and tiring journey for you to come here. Come in, have a cup of tea, and let's chat." Wang Teng extended his hand in invitation.

He didn't sleep or cultivate tonight, just waiting for this group of people to arrive, whether they were friendly or hostile.

This is the passive attraction that comes with power and fame.

"You're really taking it easy. Even with your pants on fire, you're still so unhurried."

Pang Lai, slightly annoyed and dissatisfied, quickly walked to an empty seat and sat down.

After taking a sip of hot tea, the anxious expression on his face eased slightly.

"Tell me, why were you so impulsive this time? You shouldn't have done something like this with your rationality."

"If you did it unintentionally, the military commander and I could barely step in to protect you, but the price we would have to pay would be very high."

A smile flashed across Wang Teng's face. "Do I look nervous, or like I've given up on myself?"

"I expected the Court of Judgment to come and arrest me. Today's events were actually destined in the past, it's just that they only happened today."

"You all know that my strength is improving at an unusually rapid pace, but my way of doing things makes you choose not to touch on that sensitive topic."

"The Holy City operates differently. They don't care who you are or which country you're from. As long as there are unusual factors, they'll be there."

"I suppose Mo Fan is on the Tribunal's watch list too? Most people chose to prove their innocence or compromise."

Pang Lai felt as if his ears were being pricked by countless needles. What kind of talk was this? Was it saying that they had compromised with the powerful?

While that is indeed the case, it's not that everyone's strength doesn't allow it; otherwise, who would be so pathetic?

Seeing Pang Lai's rapidly changing expression, as if he were about to devour him, Wang Teng changed the subject and continued, "I will handle this matter. The world will soon undergo a transformation!"

"If you have any friends in the Holy City, it's best to tell them not to get involved."

"Because what's about to unfold will be the graveyard of forbidden spells!"

That's all I wanted to say!

Upon hearing this, Pang Lai's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt a surge of fear and unease. Beneath the other party's nonchalant words, it seemed as if an endless bloody battlefield was being projected.
