Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 564 Winter Blood Shadow

With Wang Teng's permission, Lin Yunxi relaxed and stopped paying attention to the people taking photos.

Once they realized that taking photos secretly was harmless, they became bolder and started openly taking photos of people's faces.

The finger pressed the shutter button incredibly fast, as if missing a single photo would be a huge loss.

The unusual actions of these few individuals naturally aroused the curiosity of their companions, who, upon whispering their inquiries, seemed to have discovered a tremendous secret.

As a result, more and more people started taking pictures of Wang Teng. Some of them were more reserved and pretended to take pictures of the castle ice sculpture, while others were completely blatant.

"Looks like this is the best I can do. Otherwise, it's hard to say whether the ice sculpture festival can even proceed smoothly."

Wang Teng turned around, looked at them, and shrugged with a helpless smile. Going out tonight didn't seem like a good choice.

"Your status is no less than that of a head of state. You rarely go out and seldom appear in public, so it's natural that your appearance will attract attention."

"You seem to lack a concrete understanding of your own fame and influence!"

Leng Qing squinted and smiled, seemingly gloating over Wang Teng's predicament, as it was rare to see him in such a state.

The others also smiled broadly. They could only feel sorry for Wang Teng for losing the joy of shopping, and then they would shop even harder to make up for it!

Lina watched as the crowd grew larger and larger, with a group of people whispering and spreading the word, and even some media reporters who had caught a whiff of the news came running over.

"You can take your time browsing; I won't disturb your enjoyment of the ice sculpture exhibition."

Wang Teng shook his head slightly in a helpless manner, and then disappeared. If he stayed any longer, none of them would be able to enjoy the ice sculpture festival properly.

"Huh? Take me with you..." Jiang Shaoxu watched Wang Teng disappear, swallowing the words she was about to say.

All she wants to do right now is sleep. Although the ice sculpture festival is great, she doesn't have the energy to appreciate it.

"Do you... want to go back and rest?" Tang Yue stared at Jiang Shaoxu's face carefully. Although she was wearing makeup, she couldn't hide the tired look in her eyes.

She immediately understood. It seemed that Wang Teng had returned quite early today, and the two of them had probably been fighting in the castle all afternoon.

"Never mind~ Since I'm already here, I'll just walk around and take a look with you guys." Jiang Shaoxu said, and involuntarily yawned.

"Yu Mian~ I'll lean on your shoulder."

As she spoke, she walked behind Ding Yumin, then lazily wrapped her arms around the other's waist, rested her head on her shoulder, and looked around with her eyes.

"I'm starting to suspect you're about to fall asleep..." Ding Yumin said with amusement, looking at her tired appearance.

Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes, but forced herself to cheer up and stroll around with them. The others let her be.

As night falls, various lights illuminate the entire square in a dazzling array of colors, while the crystal-clear ice sculptures showcase an abundance of inspiration.

After Wang Teng left, the people who had gathered around couldn't help but feel a pang of regret, so they turned their attention to the ice sculpture.

Some self-media outlets even manage to conjure up images out of thin air and then praise the castle ice sculptures as being incredibly skillful.

Those who didn't manage to capture Wang Teng's image turned the ice sculpture of the castle into a popular spot for taking photos, as if that gave them a sense of participation.

After admiring the view from above the commercial plaza for a while, Wang Teng turned and left.

On his way back to the castle, he suddenly looked up at the Seoul base city, and his backup plan was triggered!

He then teleported to the airspace above the factory. Below, all was pitch black, and chaotic, evil demonic energy permeated the air, destroying the factory's magic stone power supply.

At this moment, mages from all directions quickly surrounded the factory, and a protective barrier was erected around it.

"Where did this rat come from this time?"

Standing in the night sky, Wang Teng looked down at the core area of ​​the factory and activated his soul perspective to see a blood-red shadow lurking there.

They seemed to want to take action against the magical artifact inside the factory, but after touching the jar, they found that they couldn't do anything to it.

Then, to his astonishment, the creature dispersed into a bloody mist and burrowed into the tank through the inlet!

"Holy crap!"

Wang Teng was also shocked by the other party's series of bizarre actions; that import port was indeed the only window through which they could enter.

When he was designing it, the raw materials would be automatically sucked into the tank when they reached the inlet.

Sure enough, a drop of crystal-clear blood essence fell out from the outlet at the bottom of the jar!

"What is this? Did they get tired of living and just walk right into my trap?"

Wang Teng couldn't help but complain, but after a little thought, he could roughly guess that someone was eyeing the factory's profitability.

Even though he had the backing of this factory, there was never a shortage of people in this world who were greedy for money.

This blood-red shadow looks like a vampire; there's a portion of this thing in the Demon City base.

What's interesting is that this group of low-level vampires is under the control of a woman named Liu Ru, and in the end, it can even be traced back to Mo Fan.

Given Yaoyang City's fame and prosperity, and the fact that the Demon City base city is nearby, it's not surprising that they were able to come here.

It's unclear whether this vampire is being directed by someone or acting on his own volition. Of course, it's also possible that someone is secretly plotting something to frame Fanxue Mountain.

Wang Teng was well aware of the true nature of those powerful families in China. Despite his seemingly successful career, the families he had come into contact with all appeared to be good people.

That's only because his status and power are growing rapidly, and the reputation he carries is getting bigger and bigger, which makes them become good people.

But if it were a newly emerging clan like Fanxue Mountain, they would know what it was like. Every aristocratic family would want to go up and have a go.

"So, instead of acting openly, they choose to do it secretly and clandestinely?"

Wang Teng smiled and shook his head. Without knowing the inside story, those people would never know how the factory operated.

Without entering the container, it would be almost impossible for someone below the emperor level to break through it with the dimensional power he used, so naturally he wouldn't be able to learn the secret.

Entering the tank is like the Blood Shadow's special infiltration ability; it's truly a case of only going in and not coming out, or automatically turning into a product after entering.

"Hopefully they can upgrade their defenses; the magic stone crafting is indeed easily interfered with by demonic power and loses its function."

Wang Teng didn't care about these things; that was Lin Yunxi's business.

In this world, magic stones are widely used in all aspects of life, much like electricity in the previous life.

However, chaotic demonic power, like an electromagnetic pulse, can easily disrupt energy transmission and even trigger energy surges that destroy transmission channels.

It is possible to isolate interference, but energy-isolating materials are very rare.

The factory appears very sophisticated but is actually quite rudimentary, lacking any sophisticated technology.

Everything operates through the tank, and everything else can be discarded. Therefore, the current layout is just for show, and naturally, there is no need for energy-isolating materials.

Upon discovering that the factory had only encountered thieves, Wang Teng teleported back to the castle, no longer paying attention to these trivial matters.
