The two elders of the Tang family died unjustly, easily reduced to dust by the proprietress.
It wasn't that they underestimated their opponent; who could have imagined she possessed the Nether Demonic Flames?
"As expected, there's a demonic aura."
Ya Zi's sapphire-like eyes gleamed, and in the next moment, it shot out of the house, charging towards the direction where the demonic aura was emanating.
However, the place was empty, with only a few dust particles drifting in the air.
It searched the vicinity for a few rounds but found no clues, so it had to give up.
"Little fellow, your nose is truly sharp. Fortunately, you're still a cub, otherwise, I fear it wouldn't have been able to fool it."
The proprietress's figure was hidden in the vast sky, blending perfectly with the night.
Her eyes flowed with confusion as she wondered why the Tang family wanted to deal with Langya Academy.
However, thinking of Ji Mo's methods, the Tang family's actions were akin to courting death. She couldn't even discern Ji Mo's true depth, and for the Tang family to dare provoke Langya was simply seeking their own demise.
She continued to hide in the void, waiting to see if the Tang family would send more people. If they did, she would deal with them all, as repayment for Ji Mo helping her with the scraping therapy.
Tang Family.
Tang Qian's aged face had turned the color of liver.
Just moments ago, a servant had reported that the life tokens of the two elders who had just been dispatched had all shattered.
The loss of two peak Spirit Emperors was a significant blow to the Tang family.
What worried Tang Qian even more was that he hadn't sensed any energy fluctuations from a fight emanating from the Fulai Inn the entire time.
This meant that the two elders were likely annihilated without being able to resist or even call for help.
Could it be a master of the Mortal Immortal Realm who made the move?
Tang Qian's expression was extremely grave, his thoughts racing. He dared not send anyone else to the Fulai Inn.
The Third Boss was also greatly shocked, feeling fortunate that he hadn't impulsively tried to snatch Lin Mengmeng, otherwise, he might have met a similar fate.
Langya Academy was indeed peculiar, exuding an aura of strangeness everywhere. It was best not to provoke it lightly.
Let them frolic for a few more days. Once his scheme succeeded, everyone in Chizhang City would perish, and not a single person from Langya Academy would escape.
It was a pity about the "Heaven Suppressing Hegemonic Body," but if this plan went smoothly, the "Heaven Suppressing Hegemonic Body" would be dispensable, of no consequence.
"Third Boss, it seems Langya Academy is protected by super experts. I'm afraid schemes won't work, and we'll have to resort to direct confrontation. I will arrange powerful opponents for Langya Academy in the upcoming competition, aiming to kill those three students of Langya on the battle stage."
Tang Qian's eyes were bloodshot, his face filled with murderous intent.
He felt they could kill the juniors first to vent their anger, and then find a way to deal with the others in Langya Academy.
At the same time, they had to quickly investigate the situation of Langya Academy and understand who was protecting it.
The Third Boss had no objections. The Tang family were all incompetent fools, let them make a fuss.
He would continue to proceed according to his plan, ensuring the smooth execution of his scheme.
...
Waking up early in the morning.
Except for Ji Mo, who was full of energy, everyone else had dark circles under their eyes, clearly having not rested well last night.
Even Ya Zi was no exception, its eye sockets were significantly darkened, looking like a panda.
Ji Mo teased, "What's wrong with you guys? Didn't sleep well last night, went out to do bad things?"
Everyone was somewhat speechless. The culprit was him. He had been messing around with the proprietress all night, causing such a commotion that no one could get proper rest.
"It seems the wolfberry tea I brewed was good."
"It seems my potent pills were very effective."
Xuan Yang and Wang Wenjian were greatly relieved to see Ji Mo in good spirits, feeling they had fulfilled their duties as good students and resolved their teacher's troubles.
However, kidney deficiency couldn't be cured in a day or two. They would have to continue working hard in the future, finding ways to help Mr. Ji find good methods to tonify his kidneys.
Lin Mengmeng hesitated, wanting to ask Ji Mo if he had really slept with the proprietress. Her mood was somewhat complicated; she didn't want to have a cheap stepmother.
Song Wei Qian angrily commented, "Trouble gathers around a widow's door. Ji Mo, you should pay attention to your reputation."
Langya Academy still had competitions today. After breakfast, everyone headed to the central plaza.
Shortly after Ji Mo and the others left, a toad hopped stealthily into the Fulai Inn.
If Ji Mo were present, he would have recognized it.
This toad was the Ancient Soul Devouring Toad that had run away from home.
The Ancient Soul Devouring Toad found the proprietress and addressed her with great respect, "Your Highness, Chizhang City is no longer safe. We must leave quickly."
The proprietress's background was not simple. The so-called widow was merely a disguise she had deliberately adopted. Her true identity was the Third Princess of the Demon Race.
She was the third in line to inherit the position of Demon Lord of the Demon Realm.
Years ago, when the Ancient Soul Devouring Toad led the demon army to invade the Profound Spirit Realm, the young proprietress, out of curiosity, had secretly followed.
As a result, Emperor Bai defeated the demon race and also destroyed the passage connecting to the Demon Realm, trapping the proprietress in the Profound Spirit Realm.
"Why is it not safe?"
The proprietress asked, her heart reluctant to leave.
She had finally managed to get this new identity, had just settled down in Chizhang City, and was living a decent life. She was unwilling to leave.
Moreover, the scenery of Chizhang City was beautiful, with its fiery red maple forests and eternally blooming fire cockscomb flowers, which she particularly liked and wanted to live there for a while.
"Your Highness, they are plotting to attack Chizhang City. It is estimated that in some time, the entire Chizhang City will turn into a living hell, and everyone will perish."
The Ancient Soul Devouring Toad explained that this was information it had painstakingly obtained, and its source was absolutely accurate.
After the demon army was defeated and the passage home was destroyed, a large number of demon experts had infiltrated and hidden themselves in various parts of the Profound Spirit Realm.
These individuals were constantly plotting to reconnect the passage, open the gates of the Demon Realm, and allow the demon army to return to the Profound Spirit Realm.
The attack on Chizhang City this time was aimed at refining a spatial demonic artifact of unparalleled power using thousands of lives, thereby opening the gates of the Demon Realm.
"They want to destroy the entire Chizhang City?"
The proprietress frowned, her expression grave.
Having grown up in the Profound Spirit Realm, she was very different from other demons. She had a good impression of humans and believed that demons and humans could actually coexist peacefully.
However, her views were met with strong disapproval from other demons, and thus, over the years, they had stopped paying any heed to her, the Third Princess.
"Yes, they have indeed devised a method to destroy Chizhang City. I don't know the specifics, they are even keeping me in the dark."
The Ancient Soul Devouring Toad sighed. So much time had passed that those demons no longer paid it any attention.
This situation was rather awkward. She and the proprietress should be the highest-ranking demons in the Profound Spirit Realm, yet other demons completely disregarded them.
"This is simply insane. Chizhang City has millions of inhabitants."
The proprietress's face was filled with indignation, yet she was helpless.
Although she couldn't bear to see such a tragedy occur, she couldn't completely break ties with her own people for the sake of humans.
Ultimately, the proprietress decided not to leave in a hurry. She would stay for a few more days and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Chizhang City.
