My Silly, Sweet Wife

”What audacity!”

A loud shout of anger rang out.

Immediately after, Ye Guichen’s Xuanming Prison Suppressing Technique was directly interrupted.

Then, it was as if an invisible giant hand yanked the white fox away.

Ye Guichen also felt as if his body was being pulled up out of thin air.

Both man and fox were thrown out of the dry well.

Not far away, a middle-aged man was looking at Ye Guichen with a sullen expression.

He sat cross-legged in a wheelchair, but his entire aura was overwhelmingly powerful.

The white fox, having narrowly escaped disaster, saw Situ Jingtian and quickly ran over, kneeling in front of him and crying out, ”Master, that kid does have some skill; the Demoness almost fell into his trap.”

Situ Jingtian waved his hand, indicating the white fox need not say more.

”Heh, since you’re here, why don’t you all come out?” Seemingly not taking Ye Guichen seriously at all, Situ Jingtian spoke indifferently.

Swish, swish, swish!

Several figures quickly emerged, it was He Jinluo and his team.

He Jinluo cupped his hands towards Situ Jingtian and said loudly, ”I really didn’t expect this, Lord Situ. I handled your case myself back then, thought you truly died, yet didn’t expect to see you again. What’s the game you’re playing?”

Situ Jingtian snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping towards He Jinluo: ”Had I not feigned death back then to escape, I might never have eluded the State Preceptor and the Heavenly Patrol. Heh, and when I was an official in the court, I had already amassed enough benefits, that position no longer held much meaning for me.”

”Then why have you stayed in Dragon City, and not left?” He Jinluo gripped his sword tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

Although he had pursued Ye Guichen into the mansion, he hadn’t noticed Ye Guichen enter the dry well.

It was only after hearing the fight from the dry well that he became aware.

He had intended to intervene but also discovered a hidden expert lurking in the shadows, so he hid with his men.

He never thought that the hidden expert would be Situ Jingtian.

According to past reports, Situ Jingtian was just an ordinary person with no cultivation skills whatsoever.

Yet, he had just witnessed Situ Jingtian stretch out his hand and pull both the white fox and Ye Guichen out of the well.

Such a feat would likely require the skills of a magician.

He Jinluo, being a smart man, realized almost immediately that he seemed to have misunderstood Ye Guichen.

That hidden magician should have been Situ Jingtian.

However, He Jinluo couldn’t understand how Situ Jingtian had managed to hide under the noses of the State Preceptor and the Heavenly Patrol for so long, even while serving in the court.

Situ Jingtian laughed hoarsely, ”He Jinluo, I hadn’t intended to expose myself so soon, but seeing as you’ve discovered me today, none of you will be leaving.”

”Heh, I’ve been biding my time just waiting for the revival of the Demon Clan’s bloodline. Now that I’ve connected with the members of the Demon Clan, I no longer need to hide.”

Situ Jingtian looked at the yard full of Heavenly Patrol members, not showing an ounce of panic, instead, he seemed to regard He Jinluo and the others as his possessions.

”I’ve shielded this place, so even the State Preceptor and the Monitor can’t detect my presence.” Situ Jingtian paused and continued, ”Rest assured, I’ll let you die swiftly. Heh, killing a few Golden Bells will weaken the Daqian Dynasty’s power significantly, then perhaps the vast populace of the Daqian Dynasty can fill the Chaos Sea and release the Demon Clan?”

A cruel smile curled on his lips as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, He Jinluo involuntarily shivered.

”You’re planning to sacrifice the entire population of the Daqian Dynasty to the Demon Clan?”

Hearing this news, He Jinluo felt as if he could barely stand.

The ambition was too enormous.

Half a year ago, he had heard about the Spirit Beast Sect, noting that those with Demon Clan blood required human essence to strengthen.

He hadn’t regarded it seriously at the time, as the Spirit Beast Sect soon vanished without a trace.

Even as the Demon Clan retreated to the Northern Wastes, He Jinluo hadn’t taken it seriously.

In his view, the Demon Clan blood couldn’t stir much trouble, and even if they wanted to target the Daqian Dynasty, they needed to consider their own strength.

But after hearing Situ Jingtian’s words, He Jinluo’s expression changed drastically.

It turned out that the Demon Clan aimed not only at Dragon City but all the people of the Daqian Dynasty.

Moreover, it seemed they intended to use the blood of the entire Daqian Dynasty to honor the Demon Clan, unlock the hidden gate, and release the Demon Clan.

When that time comes, it would be a catastrophe.

”Situ Jingtian, you’re a human cultivator; why would you collude with the Demon Clan and work for them?” He Jinluo asked harshly, suppressing his inner fear.

Situ Jingtian chuckled, ”He Jinluo, you’re truly a useless man. You know there are Immortals in this world, don’t you? Heh, the Immortal who sealed the Demon Clan back then was immensely powerful. Although I’ve become a magician, and am now the only surviving member of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, the magician’s art is still just a mortal thing. Because practicing it defies heaven, it incurs retaliation.”

”Take the Daqian Dynasty’s State Preceptor, for example; because he tried to glimpse heavenly secrets, he went blind, and as for me, I lost my legs and can never stand again.”

”However, once achieving immortality, such retaliation no longer exists.”

”An Immortal is not bound by the rules of heaven and earth. An Immortal is the ultimate pursuit for us all.”

He Jinluo’s face turned grim, ”Are you saying that the Demon Clan has a method to help you achieve immortality?”

”Heh, you’re not entirely stupid.” Situ Jingtian shook his head, ”Unfortunately, you won’t see that day. Everyone here will disappear from this world.”

”We’ll see if you have the capability for that!” He Jinluo’s pupils contracted; he knew there was no use in talking further.

The Heavenly Patrol members outside the courtyard were continuously entering over the walls.

It was clear that even the Four-eyed Dragon Scale Wolf, though formidable, had been subdued.

A mere ninth-level peak demonic beast, even if a spirit beast, this was still the Heavenly Patrol’s territory.

Seeing his people flooding in, He Jinluo shouted angrily, ”Brothers, attack!”

He couldn’t afford to worry about Ye Guichen now; capturing Situ Jingtian would temporarily resolve the crisis in Dragon City.

As He Jinluo charged towards him, Situ Jingtian gently shook his head, ”Heh, He Jinluo, you still don’t understand the power of a magician!”

Raising his hand, he waved it gently, ”Retreat for me!”

An arcane spell was cast from thin air, hitting He Jinluo directly.

Even mighty as he was, He Jinluo was sent flying, crashing heavily against a wall.

He lifted his head, eyes filled with terror, ”How can a magician’s combat power be this strong?”
