Full-Time Magister: Summoning Eight Demons at the Start

"And who do you think I am?"

As soon as Lü Cheng finished speaking, a middle-aged woman, who was most likely his secretary, ran towards Shao Zheng.

"Speaker, the spirits of the ancient capital have begun to riot!"

"Now, the area within hundreds of kilometers of the ancient capital has turned into a purple zone, and many areas are even showing signs of turning black..."

Everyone present was at least a high-level mage, and although the secretary-general's voice was soft, everyone could hear it clearly.

In short, all the spirits that slumbered in this land have come to life!

Purple, even black—this is a commotion that no fallen monarch could have caused.

Demon Empire!

The Undead Emperor has appeared!

The atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely tense.

A single Sha Yuan is indeed no threat to the capital, but no country in the world can face a rebellious undead empire alone!

The most infuriating thing is that this undead empire is right on their own territory!

They couldn't even evacuate!

In other words, even if Lü Cheng's Dark King summoning ritual fails, they will have to back down!

"To prevent some idiots from being foolish, I still think you should be taught a lesson..."

Just as Lü Cheng was about to begin the next step, another secretary ran towards Pang Lai carrying a tablet.

Then, Pang Lai smoothly shoved the tablet directly in front of Lü Cheng.

The person on the other end of the video call was Tang Yue, who was in the Lingyin Trial Council.

"..."

Lu Cheng's eye twitched violently.

Damn it, you have no sportsmanship!

"Acheng, what are you doing?" Tang Yue asked nervously.

"Uh... I didn't do anything." Lu Cheng picked up the tablet, glared at Pang Lai, and got up to leave the conference room.

Seeing Lü Cheng's imposing aura vanish instantly, the atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat strange.

"What's going on?" Shao Zheng asked, puzzled.

"I just had someone urgently contact Tang Zhong and have him give Tang Yue a vague account of the current situation in the capital." Pang Lai breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the almost-cooled hot tea on the table, and took a sip.

"Now, he should go and appease his wife."

Shao Zheng's eye twitched slightly, "To appease your wife?"

"I don't understand why you're so serious?" Pang Lai said, somewhat speechless.

Shao Zheng's heroic spirit almost swayed him as well!

Who is Lü Cheng?

If he really wanted to take action, he wouldn't waste time talking.

This kid has no martial ethics whatsoever; he wouldn't even bother with a pre-battle declaration of war!

He won't give any warning before the attack arrives!

"He's just here to ask for a wife, it's such a simple thing, why are you making such a big deal out of it, trying to reason with him..." Pang Lai couldn't help but complain.

Honestly, what Shao Zheng just said was completely counterproductive!

If Lü Cheng were truly a reasonable person, would he have come in claiming to be from the Black Vatican?

The White-Robed Pope?

"He slept for months and just woke up to find his wife arrested. He's furious, and you're trying to reason with him? Does he look like he's trying to reason with you?" Pang Lai complained.

"I told you before, that kid is extremely rebellious, you absolutely can't confront him directly. If you had kept talking, he would have had to take action even if he didn't want to!"

"Thank goodness you stopped in time, you scared me!"

I didn't want to mess with you, but since you've said that, it would be disrespectful to your pride if I didn't!

This is Lü Cheng's thought process!

Lü Cheng has a very good temper, but it's also quite bad!

He doesn't care about things, no matter how outrageous they may seem to others.

He is uncompromising about anything that others may consider trivial!

What Shao Zheng said just now really scared him to death!

With each word Shao Zheng spoke, Lü Cheng's smile widened!

His outburst, tantrum, and swearing prove that Lü Cheng is indeed angry, but not to the point where communication is impossible.

Just like when he caused trouble at the Magic Palace, Lu Cheng's mouth never stopped the whole time, and he even pointed at Zhu Meng, that stubborn brat, and cursed back and forth.

But once you've finished yelling, it's over. Your anger dissipates on the spot, and you don't hold a grudge at all.

But just now, Lü Cheng actually listened to Shao Zheng's reasoning with a smile!

That scared the hell out of him!

Fortunately, he was more skilled!

152. Chapter 150 The Undetectable Attack

152.

……

Outside the conference room.

"Acheng, did you go to the capital to cause trouble again?" Tang Yue asked worriedly.

"No, who told you that?" Lu Cheng asked innocently.

Do I look like that kind of person?

Tang Yue nodded, "No, it's you!"

Lü Cheng is essentially very childish!

Because he had been too repressed in the past, his childlike nature was suppressed by his inner unease when he was a child. After he grew up and felt safe, those suppressed childlike natures unconsciously came out!

This change is very obvious!

She had been in contact with Lü Cheng since Bocheng and had clearly seen the changes in him.

At first, Lü Cheng was very cautious in every step he took. Even his apparent closeness with her was just an act. At least when they were still in Bocheng, Lü Cheng didn't develop much affection for her; it was almost all a pretense.

It wasn't until she arrived in Bocheng and then in Xishui Town that she gradually began to feel that Lü Cheng had genuine, warm feelings for her.

It was only during the few days they spent alone together in Hangzhou that she finally understood what Lu Cheng's true situation was.

He was very insecure and found it hard to trust others. Lu Cheng only truly began to trust her after Xishui Town, when he burned down the Dongfang family members in front of her, and she kept it a secret.

Only after that did Lü Cheng finally take her to heart, because she placed Lü Cheng above her principles as a judge; she was biased.

What he wanted was that favoritism!

"Acheng, listen to me, this was my own choice," Tang Yue said.

“I won’t ask you why you came into contact with Salam, and I believe you haven’t colluded with the Black Vatican, but someone has to take responsibility for Salam’s matter.”

“I know I’m not very capable. I’ve been in Bo City for almost three years and haven’t found anything. Salang was probably right in front of me at the time, but I didn’t notice anything. Until the disaster happened, I was just like everyone else, knowing nothing.”

“I need to take responsibility for what happened in Bocheng. I also bear responsibility for letting Salang contact you. What Leng Qing told you is something I should bear. It was my dereliction of duty. You shouldn’t hurt innocent people because of my mistakes.”

Lu Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Tang Zhong tell you to say that?"

"No." Tang Yue covered her face, her tone somewhat heavy.

"When I was in Bocheng, I could only watch helplessly as the disaster struck, and my students lost their families. If I had discovered it sooner, I might have been able to stop the disaster, and many people wouldn't have died."

"But I didn't notice anything, even when you were right next to me, I didn't know anything..."

“I don’t know how to face those children whose families were destroyed by the Black Vatican and Salan. I can’t look them in the eye, because I know that they no longer look at me with worship, but with anger and hatred, because of my incompetence, because I’m the one who caused them to suffer like that…”

Tang Yue's voice grew increasingly choked with sobs, and in the end, she simply buried her face in her arms and cried.

Lu Cheng didn't say anything more, but just waited quietly for Tang Yue to recover her emotions.

He could understand Tang Yue, but that was all he understood about Tang Yue.

As for the others, are they innocent?

As long as we live in this world, we are always in a state of plundering and being plundered. The strong plunder the weak, and the weak plunder the even weaker. If someone is stronger than these people, he/she naturally has the right to plunder everything from them.

He knew very well that once the positions were reversed, these innocent people would immediately take on a completely different appearance.

The reason why the Holy Lord has no mercy for mankind, even if he can give or promises something that is worthless to him, is because that old man has seen the darkness of mankind.
