Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 474 The Storm Is Coming

The world keeps turning and will not change according to any one person's will.

The simple message Leng Qing posted this morning seemed to give those who didn't understand it an extra seven days of breathing room.

Those who understood it already had solemn expressions and were drenched in sweat, as if they could see the pulse of the times beating violently.

It seems that a major change is about to occur at this historical turning point, and the wheels of history are rolling forward.

These are strategically minded national or continental magic associations, or university alliances, or aristocratic family alliances.

Their focus is on the Asian Dubai Temple and Sulu, as these are the areas most likely to be hit by the storm next.

imperial capital.

Heavy snow was falling from the sky, creating a snow-covered landscape of the Tianshan Mountains. Many people were walking on the streets, enjoying the benefits brought by the snow.

It was a paradise for a large number of ice mages; cultivating in such a freezing environment was simply a perfect experience.

January is approaching the end of the year, and unlike the turmoil on the international stage, life here remains peaceful and serene.

Red lanterns hung from the treetops along the main road, creating a festive atmosphere against the backdrop of passing pedestrians.

As you follow this scenic route all the way to the Forbidden City Avenue, and then venture deeper inside, the atmosphere takes on a slightly different feel.

The people here all looked tense, rushing around without paying attention to the scenery, even while walking they were thinking about problems.

A rare military vehicle drove to the parking lot at the Forbidden City gate, and the people who got out all carried the imposing presence of sorcerers wielding forbidden spells.

Soon, guided by the guards, the group arrived at the hall where the councilors of the Forbidden City usually held meetings, where a group of top figures from various regions were seated.

The person seated at the head of the left was none other than Hua Zhanhong, the leader of the Southern Army's National Protection Army. Beside him sat four robust middle-aged men in military uniforms, exuding a stern demeanor.

They were the commanders of the major military regions and Jiang Shaoli, the commander of the Imperial Guard in the capital, with their adjutants following behind them.

Seated on the right is Pang Lai, the chief councilor of the Former Palace. Following him are Min Wu, the president of the Demon City Association, the presidents of various magic associations such as the Demon Capital, the Ancient Capital, and the Divine Capital, as well as the chief judge of the Supreme Tribunal.

After everyone had arrived, Speaker Shao Zheng, who was sitting at the head of the table in silence, looked somewhat haggard, as if he had been staying up too late.

He then said, "This matter is of great importance, and it is very important to invite everyone to this meeting."

Hearing Shao Zheng's serious words, everyone listened with serious expressions, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

"The topic of this discussion is how to maintain a stable magical order within the country after the Holy City's collapse!"

Speaker Shao Zheng stated the core points of the meeting in his first sentence.

"This morning, Wang Teng's spokesperson, Leng Qing, posted a brief message that could ignite a powder keg in Dubai's Tower of Babel and the Holy City!"

The latest images immediately appeared on the screen behind him, including screenshots of Leng Qing's post and images of the unusual activity at the Dubai Temple Tower at noon today!

"Previously, Chief Pang Lai contacted Wang Teng and brought back a very important piece of information."

"The enemy intends to dismantle the Holy City; any confrontation with the Holy City will become a graveyard for forbidden spellcasters!"

"The people of the Holy City have already personally verified this. What follows is a well-intentioned scheme that Wang Teng has devised for Su Lu."

"Su Lu was already guilty of heinous crimes. This time, he jumped out to undermine the foundation of the Holy City and secretly accepted the allegiance of many forces that originally belonged to the Holy City."

"Now it has become a red-hot, sharp blade. The Holy City either has to take action to deal with this blade, or it has to continue to cower and be cut down by the blade. There are only these two choices."

"Under the immense threat of Wang Teng, the Holy City has virtually no choice. They cannot afford to slowly wait for death, allowing Su Lu to erode their foundations and the very laws that govern their rules!"

"This involves the possibility that Su Lu and Wang Teng might secretly join forces to ambush the Holy City. Even if they don't join forces, Wang Teng would most likely not let such an opportunity pass."

"The Holy City is facing a pincer attack from both sides this time, and there is no way it can escape intact."

"After all this turmoil, the legal principles and foundations upon which the Holy City established the rules and order of the magical world will be almost completely gone."

Shao Zheng paused here to allow everyone to process the news and analysis.

"The domestic and international situation will enter a very chaotic phase in the future. Once the rules of the Holy City are no longer applicable, how will a new order be established?"

"We will inevitably have to judge Su Lu later; we can't just watch his Dubai Mage Tower dominate the new magical order."

"Given his ambition and methods, as well as the heinous crimes he committed in the past, it would be a disaster if he succeeded."

"Moreover, the magic associations of the five continents have profound strength and will inevitably participate in the struggle for and adjudication of the new order."

Chaos is inevitable!

"We can't just ignore the Asian Magic Association. We can't relinquish this authority to others, or it might end up hindering us."

That concludes my remarks. Please feel free to speak your mind!

After Shao Zheng finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief. This was a conclusion he had drawn based on continuous attention and observation. Establishing a new order was no longer something he could decide on his own.

The attendees today are all regional leaders, making them highly representative, and their opinions are very important.

He wasn't sure if a consensus could be reached, but he wanted to raise the issue first; there had to be a beginning.

A brief silence fell over the scene. The current upheaval seemed to be entirely caused by Wang Teng, a member of the former palace council, who almost single-handedly brought down the Holy City.

At this moment, the opponent is sitting in the opposing position, facing off against the Holy City from afar, and still holds the dominant position!

Unfortunately, this strong person has already "retired" and is only receiving a small amount of retirement benefits.

The leaders present subtly glanced at Chief Pang Lai and Min Wu, but dared not look too closely at Chief Hua Jun.

Hua Junshou sat there expressionless, his gaze level with the conference table. Min Wu sat directly below him.

Arguing won't solve the problem. No matter how harshly he scolds, he can't remove the other person. Forbidden spell masters aren't so easy to move.

Moreover, the area under his jurisdiction was indeed orderly, so it was impossible to punish him based on a single question.

If the other party has not committed a fundamental error, verbal criticism is the only recourse, with no possibility of further action.

"Ahem~ I think it's too pessimistic right now. It's not appropriate to make premature judgments before things have settled down."

"The Holy City's strength has a long history and cannot be dismantled so easily. There is no practical significance in discussing this issue here." The Divine City President raised his hand to speak.

As a national magical institution that deals with external affairs, they are more knowledgeable about the international situation than the Forbidden City, and this topic of discussion should not be brought up.

"Ha~ Where does your confidence come from? One of the Holy City's Emperor-level Angel inheritors has been killed, along with five forbidden spell mages and a hundred super-rank mages!"

"Can't you see these things?"

One of the military leaders sitting on the left spoke up angrily, criticizing the other side for glossing over such exaggerated battle losses with such an outdated excuse. He even suspected that there was another traitor among them.

"I'm just stating the facts. As far as diplomacy is concerned, both the Holy City and the Parthenon are very stable, and there is no possibility of them being overturned," the Divine City President explained with a shrug.

"That's just their internal situation. We need to discuss their external influence now, whether the Holy City still possesses its previous authority after this ordeal!"

"We need to prepare contingency plans in advance, instead of waiting for things to happen and then procrastinating before taking action!"

Pang Lai, quite displeased, loudly brought up the topic that the other party had deliberately obscured. This guy had a problem with his thinking, just like those who neglect their duties.
