Full-Time Magister: The Evil Emperor Descends

The sky was overcast, and thick, dark clouds completely blocked out the sunlight. Dark yellow rain fell on the entire city, bringing a sense of oppression and fear.

In the dim environment, the golden security barrier gave people their last hope, while on the tallest building in the inner city, a huge clock shone brightly.

At this moment, beneath the giant bell on the top floor of the Clock Tower Magic Association, Han Ji, Zhu Meng, the gray-white mysterious man, Mo Fan and his group, along with all the high-ranking officials in the ancient capital, gathered here.

Moreover, numerous guards, dressed in purple robes, stood in rows, exuding an imposing aura.

The Guardian Mages are all under Han Ji's command, so the person who currently controls the largest magical army is none other than Han Ji, the president of the Magic Association. It would be best to have the Guardian Mages protect everyone.

Chief of the Imperial Guards, Lu Huan, did not appear. He needed to stay at his post, as the fastest enemy, the Netherworld Lord, was gradually approaching the safety barrier.

They all stood on the spacious platform, their expressions solemn and uneasy, awaiting the arrival of the cardinal.

After a long while, in this quiet and tense environment, a steady footstep slowly rose from a distance, gradually getting louder and louder as it approached.

"They really came! How arrogant! They're even wearing the cardinal's trench coat!"

Looking down from the high clock tower platform, Judge Shi Zheng of the ancient capital spotted a person wearing a red raincoat slowly walking up.

A tall, upright man was walking towards us. Judging from his appearance under the hood, he was probably in his thirties, and rather handsome.

He was wearing a red leather overcoat, which seemed completely unaffected by the rain, and the hem fluttered loudly in the wind and rain, its color exceptionally vibrant!
Strangely enough, he was wearing a brand-new, impeccably tailored suit underneath, which didn't appear to be soaked at all, giving the impression of being meticulous.

"Cardinal in Cardinal... Nine-Headed Serpent!"

Everyone saw the man in the leather trench coat that belonged to the cardinal approaching. Their faces were solemn and gloomy, and their anger was even revealed. The atmosphere suddenly became tense!

Cardinal Nine-Headed Serpent arrived as promised, but he didn't even bring a single subordinate; he was all alone.

But everyone knows very well that he holds the lives of millions in his hands!

Jiuying slowly stepped onto the bell tower platform, his gaze sweeping over the various expressions on the faces of the people present. A chilling smile curled at the corner of his lips as he spoke softly.

"Seeing your expressions, I know you must be very satisfied with the grand event I hosted."

With such a grand ceremony already held, all pretense was meaningless. Jiuying could finally show his true face. He even enjoyed the moment of removing all pretense and becoming a death god feared by everyone!

"Nine Infants, what exactly do you want to do?"

Han Ji asked, seeing that Jiu Ying had already walked up the steps. Although there were many guard mages around, who could turn this cardinal into nothingness in an instant, no one could act rashly before he gave the order.

Moreover, he simply did not believe that the Cardinal would dare to venture deep into the enemy camp alone and face so many experts by himself without any backup plan.

"doing what?"

Jiuying chuckled and turned his back to everyone, facing the approaching undead army. He suddenly opened his arms, looking extremely pleased with himself.

The feeling wasn't like standing in the rain, nor in a city of disaster; it was more like being bathed in holy light, receiving the worship of millions—a feeling of serene contentment and exhilaration!
His eyes were filled with a burning desire and greed, and a maniacal and arrogant smile appeared on his face. He looked like a devout believer as he laughed loudly.

"Hehehe, of course I'm showing you my feast!" Upon hearing these words, everyone present was furious and wanted to kill Jiuying immediately, but they were helpless.

After a long while, Jiuying slowly suppressed the arrogant smile on his face, turned around and scanned the group of high-ranking officials, as if searching for something. A hint of disdain appeared in his eyes as he sneered.

"You probably don't know this, but it's not just me; there's another cardinal hiding among you... How long do you plan to keep hiding, Salang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. They learned an extremely shocking piece of news from Jiuying: Salang, one of the cardinals, was among them!
"what are you saying?!"

"How is this possible? There's another cardinal hiding among us?"

"Sarang...is he the Salang who turned Bo City into a disaster?!"

The high-ranking officials all looked around at the people around them. They didn't really believe Jiu Ying's words. After all, it was possible that this was a smokescreen put out by the other party to sow discord among them.

However, everyone's subconscious reaction was to believe this statement, and they looked at each other warily and suspiciously, having no choice but to believe it under the current tense situation!

Lingxi frowned slightly in the crowd. She never expected that Jiuying would know that she was hiding in the upper echelons. However, judging from the situation, she probably didn't know who he was disguised as.

Nine-Headed Serpent's sharp gaze swept over everyone, and no matter how you looked at it, the expressions he conveyed seemed genuine. A ruthless glint flashed in his eyes, but he maintained his smile and continued speaking.

“Sarang, if you want to keep hiding, then go ahead. Don’t think that just because you secretly stole all my achievements a few years ago, I can pretend that nothing happened, including the Bo City disaster a year and a half ago.”

As he spoke, his whole body trembled slightly, his eyes were filled with anger, his face suddenly became extremely ferocious, and he roared angrily.

"I was the one who orchestrated the disaster in Bo City last time, and I was the one who summoned that female wolf king. In the end, it all benefited you. Everyone only knows that there is a cardinal in China, but they don't know that I, Jiuying, have always been the cardinal in China!"

"Sarang, you actually tried to stop me during the last disaster in Bo City... I know, you must be afraid that my reputation will surpass yours, so you're scared, right? Hahaha!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone present was taken aback and began to whisper among themselves.

After the disaster in Bo City, Cardinal Salan's reputation resounded throughout the entire country; he was known to everyone.

However, today another cardinal made such remarks, which completely shattered the previous ideas!
"Zhu Meng, do you know what happened?"

Han Ji frowned and turned his head slightly to ask Zhu Meng beside him.

"This...I don't know either."

Zhu Mengren was also confused. From the conversation, they learned that the disaster in Bo City was not actually caused by Salang, but by Jiu Ying.

Furthermore, the two cardinals seem to be at odds, and Salam even wants to stop Jiuying's actions, which seems too fake!

The maniacal smile on Jiuying's face gradually faded, replaced by a calm expression. His eyes were gloomy, and he spoke in a chilling tone.

"Hehehe, but it doesn't matter anymore. After today, the world won't know Salang, but me, Cardinal Nine-Headed Serpent!" (End of Chapter)
