I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1353

Chapter 1353: Chapter 523: Getting Paid to Do the Job! Ji Lianxing: It Hurts, Rub It for Me~_2

"Sir?"

Qi Ye’s lips moved slightly, believing that his failure to complete the task would surely bring punishment.

Chen Mo raised his hand and tossed Qi Kaihai to him, saying, "Take this fellow to the Chen Mansion and hand him over to the Princess. She’ll know what this means once she sees him."

"Yes." Qi Ye bowed his head in response. After changing clothes, he took the half-dead Qi Kaihai and flew towards Ming’an Street.

Chen Mo glanced around. All that remained here were corpses on the ground and the people from the Sikong family.

Though this was the suburbs, it still belonged to Tiandu City’s domain. Despite the commotion, neither the Six Gates, the Five Cities Military Department, nor the Capital Forbidden Guards came. They acted as if oblivious!

"Seems like Wu Lie had everything planned in advance."

"First, catch Jiang Wangye, as he might be in contact with Wu Lie."

Chen Mo squinted his eyes, then vanished in a flash.

As for the two sisters fighting nearby, he couldn’t be bothered. Sikong Zuiyue could deal with her family matters herself.

...

...

The Demon Suppression Department was in chaos.

The vermilion gates were shattered, Li Siya and other tributors were lying on the ground, covered in blood, their lives uncertain.

Deep within the courtyard, a dozen men in black surrounded the Formation Path Department, each exuding a fierce aura. The leader, dressed in white and fanning himself, was Jiang Wangye.

He was commanded by the Emperor to seize the Array Map.

Now Ling Yishan, the Daoist Venerable, and Consort Yu were in the drill ground, while the Empress’s attention was on the Chen Family, leaving Chen Mo’s affairs to be handled by Sikong Zuiyue and Qi Kaihai... This was supposedly the perfect time to strike, given the Demon Suppression Department’s lax defense!

Yet everyone stood still, staring intently at the woman before them—

A gold mask concealed half of her face, revealing only crimson lips and dark purple eyes.

She wore a black gauze and red silk robe, with a dark gold scale waist cincher tightly wrapped around her slim waist. Her curves took a sudden turn below, with voluptuous hips nearly tearing the silk, exuding a captivating allure akin to a ripened peach.

The bodies lying at her feet indicated she was more dangerous than she appeared!

Jiang Wangye couldn’t gauge her strength and asked quietly, "Mr. He, what’s the origin of this woman?"

The white-haired old man beside him shook his head, responding, "I can’t discern it either; she might be a First Grade Grandmaster."

"First Grade?"

Jiang Wangye’s heart skipped a beat.

Though the Demon Suppression Department had many experts, most specialized in the Alchemy Dao and formations. Only Counselor Yuan Junfeng held true First Grade battle prowess, and he was the Emperor’s eyes and ears...

Where did such a Great Power emerge from?

"I’m here on the Emperor’s behalf, not intending to be your enemy. I just need to go in, retrieve something, and leave. Could you perhaps make an exception?" Jiang Wangye inquired, aiming to probe her intentions.

He thought mentioning "the Emperor" might invoke caution, but the woman leaned against the doorpost, hands crossed over her chest, and lazily replied:

"Not convenient. I’m doing my job for money. Until the Creation Golden Pill is complete, the Formation Path Department is only outgoing, not incoming. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he’d have to wait at the door."

"Hmm?" Jiang Wangye frowned, "Judging by your tone, are you a Jianghu person? Aren’t you afraid of getting caught in the crossfire with the current situation?"

"Humans die for wealth, birds for food. I’m short of money, you see," Ji Lianxing helplessly shrugged, "Silver isn’t everything, but without it, you can’t do anything."

Could she be Chen Mo’s hired hand?

Well, since she’s motivated by profit, this should be negotiable.

Jiang Wangye pulled out a stack of silver notes from his pocket and said with a smile, "Money is the least of my concerns. Whatever your employer paid you, I’ll offer double, no, triple! Name your price, as long as you’re willing to cooperate!"

Ji Lianxing glanced at him disdainfully, "I don’t just earn anyone’s money. That filthy smell on you; your silver likely isn’t clean. I’m afraid touching it would dirty my hands."

"You!"

Jiang Wangye was furious, struggling to catch his breath.

Realizing she was ridiculing him, he promptly stopped negotiating and raised his hand, "Mr. He, kill her!"

The white-haired old man’s foot crushed the stones under him as he soared like a hawk, with his dry hand swiftly reaching for Ji Lianxing’s throat!

Ji Lianxing snorted coldly, "Old relic, dare to act out in front of me?"

A blue glow erupted from her brow, sending a beam like a ray flaring outward, directly blasting the white-haired old man away!

Yet, the old man’s body twisted in midair, immediately appearing behind Ji Lianxing.

His fingertips unleashed trails of Gang Qi, piercing straight into her back!

"Die!"

The old man grabbed the heart, crushing it with a bang!
