My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Furthermore, it would cause absolute damage to the entire Demon Realm. Thinking of this, his gaze, like a sharp knife, shot directly into Elizabeth's eyes, hoping to force the woman to reveal the truth!

Elizabeth stubbornly met Lin Peng's gaze and said, "If you really don't trust me, you can seal me away and let me take you there!"

The bird of paradise was taken aback, wondering what its master was up to. Somewhat surprised, it looked at its master. Lin Peng, on the other hand, suddenly burst into laughter: "With your current strength, even without sealing you, I could still kill you instantly! Alright... you lead the way..."

……

Deep within the dense forest, Deken had led those angels on an unknown journey. Yet, there was still no trace of a city.

Moreover, like this forest, it seems to have no end. Even flying at such a high altitude, it still appears to stretch endlessly.

Therefore, the angels all looked annoyed. The five angels behind them were all servants of the gods, and moreover, they possessed strength roughly equivalent to their own!

On their side, they were supposed to be led by their leader. However, for some unknown reason, the leader suddenly disappeared.

Then, this heavy burden fell on his shoulders. Deken gave a slight, bitter smile, then turned and looked up at the blazing sun in the sky.

It seems as if it wants to return to that warm, sunless heavenly realm and have a good rest!

However, in a flash, a figure suddenly blocked his view. It also blocked the somewhat scorching light shining down.

After a slight pause, Deken suddenly stood up. He drew his sword of light from his waist and swung it directly in that direction.

The speed was incredibly fast. Before anyone could even see a trace, a vast swamp of trees collapsed innocently. With that deafening crash, the angels seemed to awaken from their slumber!

Each of them gripped their weapon, looking around nervously.

"What's going on, Deken?" A burly man who looked like a real human shield asked in a deep, muffled voice.

The other four angels also looked at Deken with puzzled expressions, clearly confused. Deken, however, narrowed his eyes and continued to look in that direction.

"Just now, I saw a figure flash by, but I couldn't see the details clearly, so I launched an attack in that direction!"

As he spoke, he slowly walked in that direction. This forest was teeming with venomous snakes and insects. It seemed that vigilance was always necessary.

In particular, some species are definitely remnants from ancient times. Even they could be injured if they weren't careful! Therefore, each of them moved with extreme caution… fearing that if some ancient species appeared and bit them, even returning to the Celestial Realm now would be too difficult… A few days ago, a swarm of poisonous insects appeared, and for this very reason, these angels, despite their great power, dared not proceed…

Chapter Four: The Strange Youth

Even as god-level experts, they would never dare to gamble with their lives. Moreover, the main reason so many people descended to the mortal realm this time was because they had heeded their god's command. They had all come to find the reincarnation of the Underworld King. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for so many god-level experts to descend all at once.

The power to open up space alone is something they absolutely couldn't accomplish. Of course, we still have to thank the true gods for their help!

Therefore, they all cherished this opportunity to carry out their mission. If they were to find it and bring it back to the celestial realm, they would surely have a place even before the gods!

At the very least, those gods would definitely bestow upon me countless divine artifacts, allowing my strength to advance by leaps and bounds. Perhaps I could even become the strongest expert below the gods!

Such a huge temptation made them even more vigilant. Hades, even if he had been reincarnated, was definitely not someone to be trifled with.

Moreover, those powerful figures from the Demon Realm would absolutely not allow the King of the Underworld to be killed so easily. Therefore, they would definitely send their top experts!

Perhaps, it is an extremely powerful demon. Perhaps, it is the kind of Underworld Guard that even the ancient gods feared! The Underworld Guard, the divine array they formed.

Even the gods of ancient times would tremble involuntarily. How much more so for those who are merely gods, not even worthy of being called true gods?

Each of them felt as if they were floating, even as they stood on the ground. However, when they reached the fallen tree, they were all utterly shocked.

There were no corpses or anything like that, not even a single real footprint. The large trees were all charred, but the people standing there made them feel uneasy!

He should be considered a young man. He stood right next to the still-burning tree, his eyes fixed on Deken with a gaze that seemed capable of killing them all at any moment.

It seems that Deken has offended a true god with extremely powerful abilities!

Deken was initially stunned, but then suddenly seemed overjoyed, pointing at the young man and laughing, "Look, this is definitely the reincarnation of Hades! Such strength, such arrogant eyes. Wahahaha... Do you really think you're a god?"

Immediately, the angels behind him also realized what was happening. Indeed, they had such eyes, and seemed to have bad tempers.

Of course, in their eyes, that was arrogance. Extreme arrogance, even a kind of arrogance that inspired fear. This young man was definitely the reincarnation of Hades!

The five divine domains seemed to unfold in an instant, all rushing towards the youth, as if several people were joining forces to catch a rabbit.

Deken, imbued with dazzling power, shot towards the youth like a rope. The speed was extremely fast.

Even they themselves believed that this was the best performance of their lives. Unfortunately, to everyone's astonishment...

Just as the entire area extended to this young man, a considerable amount of green gas emanated from his entire body. Then, as if vaporizing, it simply turned into gas and vanished!

This scene, witnessed by the group, was met with a look of utter bewilderment, as if they had stepped on something incredible. It was something that left them completely speechless!

"I knew it! You guys were definitely no good. Luckily, I used the Living Illusion Technique earlier, otherwise, you really would have caught me!"

The gas slowly floated upwards into the sky. At the same time, a very stiff voice rang out. It seemed that speaking was extremely difficult for him.

The five angels exchanged glances, each feeling a pang of regret. If only they had feigned weakness or deceived the young man to gain his trust…

Almost all the angels began to condemn each other. It seemed that it was all because the other side had acted too quickly. This made the young man wary.

However, they didn't consider what this illusionary art of spirits actually was. Furthermore, they didn't consider why they were all so focused on stealing the credit.

……

Unlike the situation inside the forest, Lin Peng was currently in a city on the edge of the forest. This city was called Old Forest City. Actually, Lin Peng didn't know why it was called Old Forest City!

However, thinking of that endless city, he felt somewhat relieved. It must be a call from the forest! But this Old Forest City is under the control of the Dark Church.

Even this city lord is a highly skilled individual holding a significant position within the Dark Church! Of course, in front of Lin Peng, this slightly overweight city lord can be described as extremely humble.

It seems that some people are even considering offering up any of the prettiest concubines they can find!

Lin Peng, who was there on business, naturally didn't bother with formalities with the city lord. He simply had the lord lead him to the entrance of the forest.

Actually, you can enter the forest from anywhere. However, there are a few entrances that offer the fastest way to reach the center of the forest!

At this moment, Elizabeth looked completely bewildered. To be honest, she was somewhat surprised when the leader told her that they had found the city.

However, upon seeing this forest, he felt particularly reluctant to go in! It wasn't until he was truly about to help the demons find the reincarnation of Hades that he began to hesitate!

If the reincarnation of Hades were truly found, then one thing is certain: even if the gods were resurrected once more, they might not be able to defeat the demon realm.

They might even be slaughtered by those demons! Suddenly, he remembered his father's wish. Suddenly, he remembered the vow he made back then.

Elizabeth's brows began to furrow slightly. Lin Peng, standing to the side, noticed this as well. He gave a cold snort and said, "What... now you don't want to take us in?"

Elizabeth turned to look at Lin Peng. A slight smile played on her lips as she said, "If I told you I didn't know the exact location of that city in this forest, would you believe me?"

Lin Peng and Lan Mo exchanged a glance, then shook their heads slightly. Could they believe it? Absolutely impossible! She had clearly stated back then that she knew the city's exact location.

Now, this has happened again. Lin Peng's face immediately darkened. The city lord on the other side also seemed to realize something was amiss.

Just as he was about to speak, Lin Peng coldly snorted, "Don't think I really won't kill you! You should know that you are the Holy Maiden of the Bright Heaven Realm, while I am the heir of the Demon Realm! We can never be friends! But... if you tell me the location of the city this time, then... we will be friends forever! Even if I could kill you a hundred times, I would definitely let you go a hundred times!"

Elizabeth's face paled instantly. The slightly overweight city lord beside her seemed to lose focus, almost unable to see anything, and even felt a wave of dizziness wash over him.

Just now, what did Lord Flame Demon say? This beautiful woman is actually a Holy Maiden of the Celestial Realm? Could it be that Lord Flame Demon has become this powerful?

They directly tore through space to the Celestial Realm and captured their Holy Maiden! A deep sense of worship welled up within her. She almost had the urge to kneel before Lin Peng and kiss his feet.

"Are you demons really that trustworthy? If you were, there wouldn't have been that traitor from back then!" Elizabeth, though pale, still snorted, as if to say, "Kill me if you want!"

Lin Peng shook his head and laughed, "The traitors in the Demon Realm are mainly due to that incredibly stupid woman! But the traitors in your Heavenly Realm are no ordinary traitors! It's not a question of who they want to betray, but rather, a question of who they want to be the rulers themselves?"

Chapter Five: Let Him Go

Elizabeth was speechless, utterly unable to utter a word. She couldn't even offer a basic rebuttal! What Lin Peng said was true. Indeed, there were traitors among the demons. And powerful traitors at that. But, in truth, their traitors only wanted to kill their master and become rulers.

However, the Celestial Realm is not the same. Similarly, there are many powerful beings who want to directly devour their own or the God of Light's power and then dominate!

In essence, it's the same thing. However, this nature is even worse than that of Lin Peng's forces. Now, lacking power, they've resorted to direct rebellion.

That's right, they had this rebellious intention from the very beginning! In other words, it's the kind of problem where they bully the weak and fear the strong! Moreover, the momentum of some people from the Demon Realm weakened their own side's strength!

"I told you, I can be your friend, but I also have the power to kill you! Hehe... This forest is vast, but I refuse to believe that I can't pinpoint its location by setting it on fire!"

Lin Peng's voice was somewhat sinister, and even carried a hint of madness. Elizabeth covered her mouth, looking at him in surprise!

Even the bird of paradise looks at you like, "Are you crazy?"

"This forest, though vast, is no problem. Once the fire starts, I truly don't believe anyone can stay put and continue searching without escaping. Once we force those angels out, Blue Demon and I will slaughter them! Hehe... that way, the reincarnation of Hades will be safe!"

As he spoke, Lin Peng himself felt like a genius. He laughed heartily, and suddenly a ball of flame ignited in his hand.

Elizabeth quickly stopped her, saying, "Do you really think that city is one that anyone can invade? Don't you know that it was also a battlefield in ancient times? And why is it called the City of Living Beings?"

Lin Peng felt a wave of frustration and shook his head slightly. Of course, he didn't know anything; even some basic things, he knew very little about.

Moreover, since they hadn't received any formal education in this world when they first transmigrated, even their cultivation was achieved through gradual accumulation or sometimes by sheer luck.

Therefore, he knew absolutely nothing about the war between gods and demons in this world, or any other matters.

Even if Hades was powerful, he had never witnessed it and had nothing to say about it!

"The City of Living Beings was the most powerful human group ever formed to avenge the slaughter of hundreds of millions of lives! They... even gods wouldn't dare to easily offend them. Do you intend to become enemies with that city?"

Elizabeth's serious expression made it impossible for Lin Peng to tell whether she was lying!

"A bunch of humans, so powerful? Then why don't they come out to protect this world? Instead, they just hide away!" Lin Peng looked at Elizabeth with disdain, seemingly not believing her words at all.

Moreover, it had already taken a few steps forward, seemingly about to throw the ball of flame directly at him!

Elizabeth suddenly stepped in front of Lin Peng: "Sometimes, I wonder if you are truly an inheritor of the ancient lineage. You didn't even know such a secret?"

"What secret?"

Lin Peng was taken aback; he genuinely didn't know. Moreover, most of his knowledge of secrets came from hearsay. Even the more up-to-date information he had was usually from the Demon Realm.

"That ancient master who wielded the Blade of Destruction was ultimately slaughtered by these humans! And because of this, whether it was due to the excessive loss of power at the time or something else, those humans suddenly went into hiding. However, whenever there's a risk of being ambushed and killed on the continent, they immediately come out to protect us?"

Elizabeth said somewhat irritably, not understanding whether this guy could still be considered a powerful god-level expert! It seemed he didn't even know these things.

"Hehe, so what? Anyway, they're either badly damaged or don't have much strength left!" Lin Peng still looked confused, and was already preparing to throw the fireball in his hand.

"Furthermore, do you really think that just anyone can enter this forest? Let me tell you, if you're not strong enough, even living in this forest will be extremely difficult!"

"What do you mean?" Lin Peng was taken aback, but then suddenly realized something, frowned, and said, "Could it be that there's a god-level magical beast inside? Or perhaps something exceptionally powerful will appear?"

Elizabeth nodded and smiled, "Most of the flying insects and beasts here are ancient creatures. Some of them are so powerful that even god-level experts wouldn't dare to provoke them. If you really burn this forest down, we might be the first to die. Sigh... I think I'll take you with me!"

Elizabeth sighed. She really didn't dare let Lin Peng burn the forest down. Putting everything else aside, the magical beasts that would emerge might be enough to destroy the entire continent!

He shook his head and sighed, then obediently took the first step onto the path... Lin Peng smiled faintly; all those actions just now were, of course, just an act.
