Chapter 162: Laying the foundation for Setsuna to become a monarch
"You should have told me earlier." Wang Feng gently squeezed the little hand in his palm.
Ye Xinxia's ears turned slightly red, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito's: "I just... don't want to trouble my brother."
Wang Feng shook his head helplessly and held her hand tighter: "Don't waste your time. This plague will not stop until the culprit is dealt with."
"It's mental pollution, right?" Ye Xinxia asked.
"Oh?" Wang Feng raised his eyebrows and chuckled. "You see? It seems that not all the teachers in the Parthenon are just seeking fame and reputation."
"How dare you! How dare you slander my Parthenon!" A sharp rebuke suddenly pierced the air.
An old maid with wrinkles all over her face rushed over aggressively with two high-ranking Silver Moon Knights.
"Who is this old witch?" Wang Feng asked casually.
Ye Xinxia nervously tugged at the corner of his clothes, "She's the head maid sent by the Great Sage to... supervise me."
"Oh? Supervisor—" Wang Feng's lips suddenly curled up dangerously, and his pupils instantly turned into silver light.
Maid Gulan didn't even have time to react before she was sent flying backwards as if struck by lightning.
Blood drew a blinding arc in the air, and she fell into the distant ruins like a puppet with its strings cut, raising a cloud of dust.
The two Silver Moon Knights were stunned, their faces pale.
Time seemed to freeze for three seconds before one of the knights finally found his voice: "Damn it! How dare you—"
Before he could finish his words, he flew out along the same trajectory like a fly swatted by an invisible giant hand and fell heavily beside Gulan.
Wang Feng turned his gaze to the last knight, a creepy smile curling his lips: "You want to try it too?"
The knight trembled all over, and all chivalric principles were thrown out of the window in an instant.
"No, not me! I didn't do anything!" He shook his head frantically.
"Send a message to your Great Sage and the Temple Mother." Wang Feng's voice suddenly turned icy cold. "My Xinxia disdains the position of Saint! And since you broke my promise, I, Wang Feng, will take Xinxia back!"
"Take your colleagues and get out!"
This roar turned into a materialized mental shock. The knight was terrified and hurriedly dragged his two unconscious companions up and crawled out of the isolation area, as if there was a demon chasing him.
The fleeing figure of the Silver Moon Knight quickly disappeared at the end of the street.
"Brother Wang Feng." Ye Xinxia gently tugged at the corner of his clothes, her voice soft and sticky.
Wang Feng squeezed her soft little hand and sneered, "Don't worry, they won't let you go so easily."
Ye Xinxia's pupils shrank slightly, and then she suddenly realized: "Are you saying that I have something they want?"
"Silly girl, are you finally getting it?" Wang Feng pinched her pink cheeks lovingly.
Xinxia's fair cheeks immediately flushed.
"Actually, I've long been puzzled. The Parthenon is filled with so many geniuses, why would they choose me? The special care the Temple Mother gives me always seems inexplicably strange..."
She raised her little face, her clear eyes filled with confusion: "But I'm just an ordinary person, what can they plot against me?"
"Well..." Wang Feng was about to explain when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
The words "Lingling" are jumping on the screen.
"I'll tell you the answer after I resolve this matter." Wang Feng pressed the answer button. "Now, it's time to meet the mastermind behind this plague!"
…
The prison is isolated on a steep coastal cliff, with the black and gray stone walls plunging vertically into the turbulent sea.
Below the cliff that is dozens of meters high, the rugged reefs are like ferocious fangs, looming in the waves.
"It was here that the earliest case appeared in this prison. The prisoners' medicine purchase records show that just three days later, the plague broke out throughout Croatia," Lingling said.
Wang Feng was playing with a crystal clear bead between his fingertips, and at this moment the bead was flashing with an enchanting red light.
This is the Condensed Evil Pearl he brought back from the Sakura Country. He got it when he helped Mochizuki Chisaki rescue Tsuruta.
The Queen of Nine Netherworlds has already drained away all the evil energy in it, and now this empty bead is craving for new nutrients.
Although it is of little use to him, who does not need the demon system, this bead has the miraculous effect of allowing dimensional beasts and contracted beasts to advance to monarchs.
Wang Feng raised his lips slightly and scanned the entire prison:
It’s just right to use the red devils here and the spiritual pollution all over the city as sacrifices to lay the foundation for Shanshan’s path to becoming a monarch!
…
In the cold prison corridor, a middle-aged prison guard with an unusual expression came up quickly.
"Several masters, please come this way."
Everyone followed him through the ordinary prison area and came to the steel cell area where serious criminals were held.
Suspicious dark red stains clung to the rusty iron door.
"That's enough." Wang Feng suddenly stopped and asked, "Where is your master?"
As early as the first time he saw the prison guard, his mental power had already seen through everything.
The 'person' in front of me is just a little red devil in human skin!
Mogno slowly turned around, his dark eyes moving strangely, and the corners of his mouth suddenly tore to his ears.
"When you become my nutrients, you will naturally understand!"
Its skin began to wriggle violently, as if countless maggots were crawling under its skin.
The black pupils instantly turned blood red, and his aura surged! Several cracks appeared on his head, and more than a dozen centipede-like tentacles emerged, dancing wildly in the air.
Lingling gasped, goosebumps instantly covering her arms. Ye Xinxia immediately stood in front of her, the magic bracelet on her wrist glowing faintly.
"Ugh—" Lingling covered her mouth and took two steps back.
Ye Xinxia immediately stood in front of her, ready to activate the [Heart of Water Blossom] given by Wang Feng.
Wang Feng suddenly sneered: "You are so ugly and you come out to scare people?"
"Didn't your mother teach you to pay attention to the city's appearance?"
Before he finished speaking, blood-red flames suddenly wrapped around his right arm.
The violent fire element instantly condensed into a huge flaming fist, which slammed towards the Red Devil with the power to destroy the world.
"Fiery Fist—Burning Heaven!"
Boom——!!!
The blood-red fire wave exploded like a raging tide, completely engulfing the Red Devil.
The twisted monster struggled frantically in the sea of fire, making creepy screams.
The high temperature caused the surrounding air to distort violently, and even the steel railings began to turn red and soften, making crackling sounds.
When the flames died down, Wang Feng casually threw out the condensed pearl.
The crystal beads were suspended in the air, emitting a strange suction force.
The dying Red Devil was like a rag that had been drained dry, and was completely sucked into the bead with a scream.
"Is it over?" Ye Xinxia let out a long sigh, her tense body finally relaxing.
Wang Feng played with the glowing red condensed pearl in his hand. "The source has been resolved. Now we just need to use mental magic to draw out the remaining negative energy in the patient's body and inject it all into this pearl."
After absorbing the entire red demon, the condensed pearl was already two-thirds full.
If all the negative energy that spread out could be recovered, the accumulated energy would be enough for Shanshan to break through to the monarch level in one fell swoop!
"Let's go," Wang Feng put away the beads and took Ye Xinxia and Lingling's hands. "After we clean up the mess, we'll go back to Venice."
