My Beautiful Duchess Wife

Sigula, on the other hand, was born with an air of arrogance.

“A few days ago, a man named Ma Si’er brought his men to harass us. Moreover, they stole quite a few of our things. Alas, sir, this… it’s all my fault. I’ve made this newly acquired place a mess. Please punish me!” Lin Peng knelt down as soon as he finished speaking.

He looked extremely resentful and humiliated. It seemed as if he was the one suffering from a loss of face. Abaddon, on the other hand, had his mouth and entire face twitching.

Now, even if I have the thickest skin, I can't punish this guy. He's already gone this far; if I actually punish him, it would make me seem petty.

Even those close to him might misunderstand him because of this. Their gazes towards Lin Peng became extremely fierce.

This guy is truly a genius. He actually anticipated I might blame him, even in this situation. And he went ahead and pulled this stunt.

This guy absolutely cannot be allowed to stay. Nobody believes Lin Peng is truly repentant! Even those two Demon Emperor-level experts just nodded with smiles.

This kid is definitely a talent!

Lin Peng's lips curled slightly as he remained kneeling on the ground, his voice choked with emotion as he said, "Steward, you must do me justice! You should know the strength of Punishment City. How could someone like me possibly fight against them? These past few months have truly been a nightmare for us!"

He spoke as if he were speaking weakly and listlessly. Lei, standing behind him, suddenly felt a spasm. This guy is really getting better and better at acting.

Yes, just like that Oscar-winning actor this guy mentioned. Brilliant! If you didn't know him well, you'd really believe it was true!

"Hmph? What's Punishment City? Let's go back to town and see for ourselves. I'd like to know if they really dare to target our Dark Sage Guild!"

Abaddon snorted coldly, and his silver-white unicorn trotted off towards Moonlight Town. The two Demon Emperor-level experts glanced at Lin Peng, then went off towards Moonlight Town on their own.

The speed of this large force was extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, they vanished from Lin Peng's sight. Lin Peng and his thousand men, however, merely went through the motions, as if putting on a show.

Van Can narrowed his eyes, glanced at Lin Peng, and then slightly curled his lips, the meaning of which was unclear. Lei, who had come along this time, asked with some doubt, "Lin Peng, if he goes in like this, what if we still can't fight Punishment City? What will we do then?"

Lin Peng gently touched his head; he understood the meaning behind those words. In truth, Abaddon never believed that the City of Punishment would dare challenge the authority of the Dark Sage Guild.

At the same time, he understood that everyone was intelligent. Sometimes, there was really no need to be so pretentious. However, at least this way, he kept the initiative in his own hands.

He frowned slightly, then said helplessly, "What else can we do? Let's just see what happens! Let's go!"

With that, he led his team straight towards Moonlight Town. However, as they ran, Lei kept wondering what this "cold dish" meant.

It seems that Lin Peng always manages to bring out a lot of new terms!

……

At the east gate of Moonlight Town stood several burly-looking men. Each one was broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, and they exuded an extremely bloody aura.

However, who are those people at the town gate? They are soldiers from among the three thousand elite troops. They are not true warriors who have smelled blood.

He merely frowned slightly, then gave a cold snort at the men. The men, seemingly genuinely there to cause trouble, immediately glared at him with wide, menacing eyes.

It looked like they were about to fight.

The soldier leader sneered, then stepped forward and said, "What, you want to make a move in Moonlight Town!" As he spoke, he slowly drew his battle sword.

Blood vessels slowly appeared in his eyes.

The men hesitated for a moment. But then, for reasons unknown, one of them suddenly drew his greatsword and swung it down at the soldier's head.

The soldier leader was somewhat prepared; how could he possibly be easily defeated by a high-ranking demon? He merely drew his sword to block, unleashing the aura of a great demon. Behind him, the soldiers roared with excitement, "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

Such sounds directly attracted the attention of the people!

Chapter Sixty-One: The Spy of Punishment City

The tension between the two sides had reached a point where war was inevitable. The spectators, meanwhile, were screaming wildly. After all, the Demon Realm was extremely warlike.

Normally, ordinary demons are quite fortunate to witness a duel between great demons. But here, a great demon is leading a group of over a dozen soldiers, all of whom are high-ranking demons. And the four or five burly men on this side are also high-ranking demons.

The soldier leader sneered and lightly licked his sword with his tongue. He seemed to reek of far more blood than those burly men.

The other dozen or so soldiers just stood there with their hands in their pockets, staring blankly, without making a move. However, everyone could imagine what was going on.

These soldiers are all extremely warlike. And surprisingly, whether in the Crimson Demon territory or in Moonlight Town, they haven't encountered a single battle.

This really frustrated these soldiers who were extremely energetic and quite capable!

Now that such an opportunity has presented itself, it's obvious that the squad leader-like soldier wants to monopolize it! The other soldiers are just obediently watching over me.

The leader chuckled coldly, and the battle knife in his hand, seemingly as small as a dagger, began to spin. At the same time, a surge of power truly erupted from it.

His muscles bulged violently at that moment, causing the soft armor to spring out. With a sudden, powerful punch, he aimed at the first man.

The combination of speed and power produced a sound like air being torn apart.

Of course, the man wouldn't just stand there and let him hit him. He swung his greatsword in a circle and then swept it out with a whistling sound.

However, the soldier leader was a great demon. His speed, strength, and skill far surpassed that of the man. With a mere leap, he effortlessly stepped over the sweeping slash.

Then, she launched herself with both feet, kicking directly at the two men charging at her from behind. Instantly, the two men were sent flying by her legs, which were wreathed in demonic flames.

At that moment, the spinning battle blade reached the soldier leader's side, grabbed him suddenly, and burst forth with demonic flames.

With a whooshing sound, the sword slashed down at the man.

With a loud thud, the man managed to block the knife, but half of his legs were buried in the ground. Furthermore, blood was everywhere around his mouth.

Clearly, the power of just one strike had inflicted severe injuries on the man. The soldier leader was ecstatic, as if he were a bull eyeing a cow.

The moment his feet touched the ground, he roared to the sky, as if releasing pent-up anger. However, this roar immediately irritated Abaddon, who had just arrived!

He was already quite displeased that he wasn't greeted when he arrived. Moreover, there was something that seemed obviously fake. Now, he never expected to hear such a roar so soon after reaching the town gate.

Isn't this obviously a way of putting pressure on themselves?

Abaddon was instantly enraged. His blood seemed to flow exceptionally fast. He lashed his silver horned horse with his whip and charged towards the town gate.

After letting out a furious roar, the soldier leader kicked the man whose foot was embedded in the ground. The man's chest seemed to deflate instantly, and he flew backward.

Suddenly, he was slammed against a huge pillar. With a "plop," he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his entire appearance became noticeably more dejected.

Abaddon arrived at that very moment. Also arriving were, of course, the two high-level Demon Emperors. Seeing the man who had been sent flying and coughing up blood, Abaddon's face immediately turned green.

The first thing I saw was red. Will this mean my luck will run out?

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed the man directly. A force, seemingly emanating from his blood, pulled the burly man to Abaddon's side.

He snorted coldly, "Useless thing!" Then, before he could even get close to Abaddon, it suddenly exploded in mid-air. Blood splattered everywhere.

However, just as it was about to splash onto Abaddon, it seemed to vanish instantly. In the blink of an eye, his eyes, filled with extreme coldness, turned to the soldiers.

The soldiers' leader immediately realized what was happening; he'd heard General Lin Peng mention that many powerful individuals might be arriving today. Apparently, they were members of that Dark Sage Guild.

Immediately, they all knelt down, their eyes filled with extreme fear as they looked at Abaddon. That one move alone had made them all feel uneasy.

Even if they die in battle, at least they should have a complete corpse! This kind of bloody, mangled killing technique, where not a trace can be seen, is something they've never even heard of, let alone seen!

The main force, including Lin Peng's men, also arrived at the town gate. Lin Peng was somewhat stunned as he looked at the men kneeling on the ground and those standing there in a daze.

Judging from Abaddon's expression, one could basically guess what was going on. Then, he kicked the soldier leader in the shoulder with a furious thud.

It looked like he was using a lot of force. However, just the fact that the soldier leader fell to the ground and then knelt down again without any injury showed that he hadn't used any strength at all.

"What's going on? If you can't give me a reason, you won't get any dinner tonight!" Lin Peng said with a serious expression. The soldiers, on the other hand, found it all amusing.

This general is really protecting his own! It's just dinner; even if you don't eat, there won't be much of a punishment. However, the soldier leader still cooperated, saying with feigned panic, "These demons seem to be spies; they actually tried to provoke us directly. We told them we were from the Dark Sage Guild, but they seemed fixated on that! So... so we started fighting!"

Then, he glanced at Abaddon with what seemed like great fear. Lin Peng nodded slightly, narrowed his eyes, and stared at the men.

Abaddon, meanwhile, looked at Lin Peng. Could it be that this was also part of this kid's plan?

"No, no, no... Sir, it's really not like that. We're just ordinary wandering knights, it's that... that..." One of the men, who looked extremely emaciated, seemed to have thought of something even more terrifying. He couldn't finish his sentence!

"Speak! Or I'll kill you right now!" Abaddon's face darkened, and then his hand slowly rose. The men had clearly seen that killing move just now.

Their leader was killed just like that. Now, the ground was covered in blood, and it seemed there wasn't a single clean piece left. Lin Peng glanced at the ground, and after thinking about the bloodline of Abaddon's grandson, he immediately felt relieved!

These are merely high-level demons. The difference is simply too great.

For a demon king like Abaddon, killing them would be as easy as killing an ant! The demon suddenly became even more terrified.

He said tremblingly, "It was...it was Masir from Punishment City who sent us to test whether Lin Peng dared to oppose Punishment City. They said that if he dared, they would attack Moonlight Town tonight. If he didn't dare, they would come now to teach Lin Peng a lesson!"

Abaddon looked at Lin Peng, while the soldiers were all somewhat stunned. These guys really were spies! Who would have thought that their guess would actually come true!

"Steward Abaddon, what I said just now was absolutely true. Now, you've seen it too! It's definitely the City of Punishment that wants to provoke us, not the other way around! Think about it, with my current strength, how could I possibly be a match for the City of Punishment? That would be a recipe for disaster!"

Lin Peng spoke with utmost seriousness. It would be incredibly difficult to find any flaw in his words, let alone when Abaddon tried to test whether the demon had truly been acting. The fluctuation of blood in his eyes told him that he was absolutely not lying.

So……

"Punishment City! Hmph... I'd like to see just how capable these people from Punishment City really are! They said they'd come even if they didn't dare to make a move?"

Abaddon snorted coldly, then stared coldly at the lewd demon. His anger was clearly visible on his face.

The man nodded vigorously, as if afraid Abaddon wouldn't see him: "Masser is the son of the leader of Sin City. So, we dare not oppose him. Besides, he's always been rather arrogant. Last time, in Moonlight Town, he provoked us and was defeated by Lord Lin Peng, so he certainly won't be willing to accept it now!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Lin Peng.

Of course, this is also the consequence of Masser's own boasting. Those people really thought that Masser retaliated like this after his failed attempt to provoke the Dark Sage Guild!

However, they couldn't afford to offend someone as powerful as Marsell. Besides, this was practically Sin City's territory. After all, Moonlight Town and Sin City were so close.

So, they were forced to come. They just never expected their leader to die so mysteriously!

"Hmph, Lin Peng, take me to our base right now. Hehe... I want to see just how arrogant those people from Punishment City really are! They actually dared to jump on our Dark Sage Guild's head!"

With that, he lashed out with his whip and charged forward. What could Lin Peng do but run quickly, leaping over the silver horned horse in one bound.

Lead the way toward the villa!

Chapter Sixty-Two: Frame-up

The nights in Moonlight Town are incredibly enchanting. It's as if the moon is deliberately favoring Moonlight Town, making the town exceptionally clear and pure.

The entire street, paved with bluestone, looked as lustrous as white marble. It seemed as if the road really was made of jade.

In the heart of the town, on that small hilltop, in a castle-like manor, Abaddon listened to the reports from Marsell of Punishment, his face turning ashen. In stark contrast to Moonlight, his complexion was as black as an African's.

Even those two Demon Emperor-level experts weren't much better off. From the beginning until now, I've had several moments where I couldn't help but want to rush straight to Punishment City and kill those guys.

Those Demon Emperor-level experts were even more enraged, as if they themselves had been insulted. Their cloaks began to tremble violently; clearly, they were shaking with rage!
