Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 469 The Seven-Day Technique (Thanks to reader "Don't Look for Me Anytime"_Ac for the 588 book coins reward)

Following Leng Qing's announcement, the internet quickly erupted again, with supporters of the Holy City once more clamoring for war and a bloodbath in Hangzhou.

"These people are truly brainless—so many powerful figures have died in the Holy City, and they can't even see it?"

"If the Holy City remains silent, where do they get the confidence to clamor for continued war?"

Leng Qing fiddled with the computer, keeping up with current events and the latest news from the Holy City.

After dinner, everyone was still enjoying the dessert and the bountiful spoils.

The loot inside the spatial bracelets of those forbidden spellcasters and super-level mages is indeed of extraordinary value.

Although we didn't find the Earth Core Treasure, we did manage to collect a full 50 Star Sea Celestial Veins, along with many rare magical tools and materials.

The value of that batch of materials alone is estimated to be close to 100 billion, especially due to the contributions of the five forbidden spell masters.

This sudden windfall after a fight was something no one present had anticipated.

Wang Teng collected 45 of them, leaving 5 for Tang Yue to manage. Tang Yue had a total of 16 Star Sea Celestial Vein resources, which they would use themselves.

"Public opinion and faith are a double-edged sword. The Holy City has messed things up now!" Jiang Shaoxu chuckled.

"The Holy City is currently in a precarious situation, and there must be someone pulling the strings behind the scenes. I suspect it's related to the message you posted this afternoon, Sister Leng."

"Those people must be unwilling to be purged, which is why they're stirring up public opinion. They definitely want the Holy City to continue fighting!"

Ding Yumin ate the icy green cake, her eyes thoughtful as she slowly analyzed the current situation.

She had actually encountered a similar situation once when she was serving as a judge.

Leng Qing's eyes lit up as she instantly realized what was going on, and she couldn't help but look at Yu Mian with surprise.

"You're so smart, you grasped the key point right away."

"Haha~ No, I have encountered similar situations before." Ding Yumin smiled and waved her hand modestly.

"It seems the internal strife within the Holy City is about to begin!"

"Given the Holy City's consistent style, it's the people below who are holding them back; they're turning against the Heavenly Order!"

Jiang Shaoxu quickly sorted out the chain of events that had occurred. Regardless of whether the Holy City wanted to fight or not, it would create a rift with the forces below it.

"And there's more big news! The Dubai Tower has declared independence and will establish a new set of rules!"

"Good heavens! Su Lu is planning to uproot the Holy City! This is a provocation against the Holy City's laws, and it's even more unacceptable than our conditions!"

Leng Qing was somewhat surprised, but quickly realized that the other party had made their move at the right time; it was clearly an attempt to take advantage of someone's vulnerability.

She wasn't surprised at all that Su Lu had done such a thing, and now she understood his intentions very well.

Wang Teng raised his eyelids in surprise, pondered for a moment, and then said slowly, "He certainly picked a good time!"

"The Holy City now has to fight on three fronts: first, the voices of its people; second, me; and third, Su Lu."

"No matter which one, if not handled properly, they can explode on the spot in an instant."

The time he had Leng Qing release the message about the purge was uncertain; it could be tomorrow, tomorrow night, or the day after tomorrow, like a deadly blade hanging over their heads.

Who would dare to harbor any illusions that he couldn't find them?

This kind of invisible pressure will inevitably make them as anxious as ants on a hot pan. Having become accustomed to protecting themselves, they will definitely make two preparations.

They will either incite the Holy City to fight, or secretly break away from the Holy City, quickly sever ties, and absolutely disregard the interests of the Holy City.

Su Lu has chosen a good time. He may very well reap a batch of power legacies from the Holy City. This guy is reaping the benefits!

We need to make things difficult for him!

Wang Teng's lips curled up slightly at the thought, and he turned to Leng Qing and said, "If there is no response from Holy City by tomorrow morning, send another message. I plan to settle accounts with the forces behind those participants in a week."

"A week later?" Leng Qing asked, puzzled, quickly considering why it had to be a week later.

Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Wang Teng explained his thoughts to her.

"The forces vassals of the Holy City will inevitably fall to the Holy City because of my purges, making Su Lu their prime target!"

"Since Su Lu has benefited from my schemes, I'll give the Holy City time to attack him, so he can taste the sweetness and then suffer the bitterness!"

"As long as the Holy City isn't foolish, it will definitely try to retain those forces and seize this opportunity to take down the Dubai Mage Tower!"

"After all, the Dubai Mage Tower is tantamount to digging up the roots of the Holy City, so those Angelic Successors actually hate Su Lu more than I do!"

"After dealing with the Dubai Mage Tower in time, the Holy City will only have to face me alone, which will naturally reduce the pressure. As for the forces below, we can deal with them one by one."

"Of course, I only said that I wouldn't deal with the forces behind them for the time being; it doesn't mean I won't take action against the Holy City!"

"Ideally, I would lie in ambush near the Dubai Tower, looking for an opportunity to cripple the Holy City's power once again!"

"A better ending would be a lose-lose situation for both Su Lu and the Holy City, with the Holy City disintegrating and Su Lu's Dubai Mage Tower becoming a target of public criticism or leading a new magical order!"

"Of course, it's also possible that with the decline of the Holy City, the five continents will each govern themselves, and then no force will be able to interfere with me anymore!"

After listening, Leng Qing suddenly realized what was going on, and then she was so shocked that she almost broke out in a cold sweat. This plan had a very high success rate!

If the Holy City makes just one wrong step, wouldn't that mean this behemoth is already on the verge of disintegration?

All four women were shocked by Wang Teng's seemingly insignificant action. It was a seemingly harmless decision that was a bomb that buried the glorious history of the Holy City!

No wonder people who play strategic and tactical games are disliked; if they were your opponents, they would make you feel uneasy all night.

A battle just ended today, and the power of the Holy City still awes the world. But who could have imagined that it would soon be in danger of collapse?

Even if such words were to spread, probably no one would believe them, because not everyone can see so far and so high.

Furthermore, given the current situation, the Holy City's accumulated prestige has led almost everyone to blindly trust it.

One or two setbacks are nothing to some people, who believe that as long as they learn from their mistakes, they will surely win the next attack!

This is the aftereffect of some people's cognition being washed away by certain information. They lack their own clear judgment and blindly rely on past cognitive experiences as their own opinions.

These puppets, who are being fooled, are a bunch of lunatics in any era, and anyone who puts them at their doorstep will be disgusted.

Because these people simply don't listen to advice, they only want to believe in their own judgment and opinions, and even if the Holy City were to disintegrate one day, they would think it was all a dream or keep that memory of the Holy City in their hearts.

"What if the Holy City sees through your plan and they stay inside and don't come out?" Jiang Shaoxu asked subconsciously.

"Hehe~ Time is on my side!" Wang Teng laughed indifferently. At most, Su Lu would just get a little benefit. Su Lu's decision would still allow him to slim down the Holy City and achieve his strategic goal!

Jiang Shaoxu was also very clever and immediately understood Wang Teng's meaning: it didn't matter whether the Holy City came out or not, it was just a matter of how fast or slow it would disintegrate.
