Versatile Mage: Demon Mage

Chapter 456 A Secret Corner

After a brief period of restraint, Wang Teng gathered all the energy and pressure in his body, and then left the dimensional gap in the sky layer of the Cloud Realm.

After successfully breaking through the emperor, spatial distance was no longer a problem for him, and in a flash he returned to Yueyu Manor in Songcheng.

Near the end of December, the temperature in Hangzhou has dropped below 12 degrees.

Wang Teng felt the gradual chill and then he realized that his perception of time seemed to be becoming blurred.

Any period of retreat can last for half a year. The stronger one becomes, the longer the retreat period will be.

I have been practicing almost the entire year, and it seems that the distinction between day and night has lost its meaning.

"Hey~ You're back?"

The sound of a sports car was heard behind him. Ding Yumian stuck his head out of the window and greeted happily.

"Going for a ride?"

Wang Teng watched her quickly run out of the car and trot into his arms.

"No~ I went to the airport and picked up Jiang Shaoxu."

"She went to Seoul to settle this year's mining revenue."

"Oh, that's great. Let's talk about it when we get back."

……

In the lobby of the villa, Leng Qing ran over to report to him as soon as he knew he had returned.

"You promised Chief Panglai that you would serve as the new chief of the Imperial Palace, but we couldn't find you for three months."

"He calls me almost every week to check if you're back."

"You stood him up. If he knows you're back in a few days, he might... well, you'll be in trouble!" Leng Qing had a smile on his face that showed that you were about to be doomed.

"Hehe~ Don't worry about these trivial matters!" Wang Teng waved his hand gently. As thick-skinned as he was, this little broken promise was nothing.

Besides, the other party should have long been accustomed to the fact that he would disappear from time to time. It would be foolish not to understand this.

He originally intended to create this kind of lazy style so that they would be mentally prepared and not demand too much from him.

There is a joke that is very apt: Only when you endure the most hardships can you endure more hardships; the greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. This common sense has long been ingrained in our bones.

If he appears to be too capable, he will become a big enemy and countless problems will arise in the future.

How good it is now~ The other party's psychological expectation of him is probably that he will not fail at the critical moment, which is already extremely satisfying.

"Recently I've noticed a lot more strangers wandering around Songcheng. They seem to be monitoring us."

Ding Yumian's face looked a little unhappy. The feeling of being followed at the doorstep was really unpleasant.

"Those people seem to be from Europe, not our locals. They are more likely from the Holy City!"

"I have also investigated this information. I heard that the Holy City's Court of Judgment has recently set its sights on you."

"Many of them suspect that you are the owner of the Death Technique, and your strength is increasing abnormally fast."

"The actions of the Court of Inquisition are always very strange, and they are very different from the style of the Holy Court of Inquisition."

Leng Qing said to Wang Teng that she was also from the Inquisition and still retained her anti-detection awareness.

"Haha~ a bunch of self-righteous wild dogs!"

Wang Teng had a disdainful smile on his face. If anyone dared to appear in front of him, he would kill them all. Let's see if the other party dared to come out of the doghouse and fight him.

"Do you need me to let..." Leng Qing saw that he was so strong and hesitated for a moment, wanting to help him handle the matter in a roundabout way.

"No need... There is no room for compromise on this matter. If they dare to attack us, just start fighting. Beat them to death."

"I can handle it now~" "Don't even mention the Court of Extraordinary Judgements. Even if you call those old men from the Court of Holy Judgements, I can make them die as soon as they meet." Wang Teng waved his hand to stop Leng Qing from speaking.

The inherent impression of those forbidden spell mages about the Siren King or the Land Demon King is that they can compete with them.

But few people would notice that when humans transform into emperors, their fighting skills and wisdom are completely incomparable to those of the demons!

The monsters will just stand there and let you control them without any concern, and won't think there's anything wrong with taking a couple of your attacks.

Humans can survive with wisdom and cunning, but once they grow into emperors, their fighting style will refresh the limits of their cognition.

It is difficult for those who rely on plug-ins to improve their combat power to that of an emperor to appreciate the transformation and tyranny of an orthodox emperor.

Not to mention that he was the most powerful fighter among the emperors, so even if any one of the seven angels came, it would be useless.

Speaking of this time period, in the original book, the old king was about to go to deliver warmth. If he hadn't let Hai go, could Lao Mi have captured the old king?

If you can't defeat the Ancient King in this period of time, do you think you can defeat him?

If he was a little more ruthless, he could have started a human civil war before attacking the sirens, and wiped out all the existing forbidden spell mages and top-level forces.

Wang Teng quickly thought that Su Lu was about to cause trouble to provoke the Holy City, and he could also use this opportunity to kill an angel.

After all, it's really an eyesore!
The fact that he had broken through to the Emperor level in the Cloud Realm could not be hidden from the Holy City. After all, there was a golden dragon there, and it was unknown whether it had looked over at that time.

"Okay~" Ding Yumian responded firmly. Unlike Leng Qing, she didn't have so many concerns. She just did whatever Wang Teng asked her to do.

Wang Teng saw that the three of them were silent. They might not understand what the Court of Judgment's action meant, and their impression of the Holy City might be too good.

"Don't think the Holy City is so beautiful. It's just a bunch of people who deceive the world and steal the reputation."

"The Holy City you know is most likely the Holy Court and the Court of Inquisition, but they are just puppets on the surface."

"The reason why the Holy City is called the Holy City is because they inherited the means left by the Heavenly Father. The seven angels who inherited it have the combat power of an emperor."

"The resource they use to improve their strength is their reputation in the world. The higher their reputation, the greater their strength will be."

"The Holy Court and the Court of Inquisition are just baits to let the world see their authority and greatness. The ultimate goal is to gather prestige."

"This is the same as the seven cardinals of the Black Church, except that one side needs positive reputation and the other side needs negative reputation."

"The seven angels need a positive reputation, but that doesn't mean what they do is necessarily serious business. It could also be private matters."

"The victims you know are people with special magical talents. They can bypass the Holy City's star system and cast magic directly."

"The effect is just like the magic of demons, so naturally they cannot tolerate it."

"The characteristic of the Disaster Spell is that the magic is extremely powerful. When it first awakens, it is difficult to control and it is easy to accidentally hurt people around you."

"But is this problem difficult to solve? Just find a single base and carefully train it. That will be the future Pillar of the Magic Court."

Wang Teng highly affirmed and recommended the art of suffering. How can you become a strong man without cheating? If there was no inheritance left, the Holy City would have ended in dust long ago.

"The Holy City has two methods for such people. If they agree to join them and serve them, they will survive. If they disagree, they will be sealed or executed. That's the result."

"They will not allow any power beyond their control to exist. The higher-ups behind those people are also very aware of the potential for the development of the art of death."

"You might as well make a bold guess. Could the founder of the Holy City and the Parthenon be the owner of the Art of Suffering?" Wang Teng paused here.

After hearing this, the three women's faces were filled with shock and disbelief. This information was beyond their comprehension.

"I have indeed heard Old Man Bao talk about the secrets of the Holy City, but they are far from as detailed as you described."

"And the signs of the Holy City's actions are indeed consistent with the information you said!"

Leng Qing sighed softly. Based on the information Wang Teng provided, a hidden corner of the top of the world seemed to be revealed in her mind all of a sudden.
