I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 1382

Chapter 1382: Chapter 534: The Emperor’s Edict? Sorry, That Won’t Work on Me! (Part 2)

Upon hearing these words, Sun Chongli’s heart sank to rock bottom.

Although the other party did not explicitly state it, it was almost certain that they came for the Eightfold Exorcism Array!

Seeing Sun Chongli remain silent for so long, Lei Xiwen’s eyes flashed with impatience, "What, Director Sun, are you planning to resist the decree?"

Bang—

The soldiers behind all stepped forward simultaneously, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense!

Sun Chongli’s fists secretly tightened within his sleeves. Breaking the formation was his lifelong wish, and now at the critical moment, he naturally didn’t want to give up.

But faced with the Emperor’s order, he was helpless, and the other party came aggressively, seemingly ready to start a massacre with just a disagreement. He couldn’t put others’ lives at risk.

"Please, sir."

Sun Chongli paused for a moment, turned around, and opened the door.

Lei Xiwen’s lips curled into a satisfied smile, nodding, "Those who recognize the times are wise, Director Sun is a smart man."

However, just as he was about to step into the gates of the Demon Suppression Department, a violet figure floated down, blocking his path.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall, curves elegant, wearing a golden half-face mask, deep purple eyes flickering like phantom flames.

"Who are you?" Lei Xiwen frowned.

Ji Lianxing spoke coldly, "Who I am is not important, but none of you may enter."

Lei Xiwen almost laughed with anger upon hearing this, "I am acting on His Majesty’s orders, you say we can’t enter? Do you intend to commit treason?!"

Ji Lianxing did not say more, raised her hand and snapped her fingers, chains appeared in the void, densely interwoven, directly sealing the door!

The intention was clearly to resist to the end!

Lei Xiwen completely lost patience, waved his hand, "Attack! Anyone who resists the decree, kill without mercy!"

"Yes!" Cheng Lang displayed a savage grin, brandished his weapon, and charged at Ji Lianxing.

"I originally did not wish to be enemies with the court, but entrusted by others to fulfill a duty, today I shall play the traitor." Ji Lianxing’s black hair flew, her aura rising steadily, the oppressive force almost suffocating!

"First Grade?!" Lei Xiwen’s face changed drastically.

This woman appeared young, yet unexpectedly her strength was formidable!

He subconsciously stepped back a few paces, instinctively glancing towards the far alleyway... that Lord had him take over the Demon Suppression Department, assuming it would be straightforward, but never mentioned such stubborn opposition!

Buzz—

Just as the two parties were about to clash, a sudden roar came from above.

A golden meteor pierced the sky, crashing into the ground, a violent gale emanating from it, scattering the soldiers all around!

They fell over in utter chaos, the scene became tumultuous!

As the dust settled, an upright figure appeared out of nowhere.

His black robe fluttered in the wind, his handsome face porcelain-like in texture, eyes as deep as a frigid pool, beside him was a golden spear, emitting a resonant hum.

"So, you’ve finally arrived." Ji Lianxing gave a faint smile.

"Luckily, not too late, thank you for your hard work." Chen Mo reached out and pinched her cheek.

Ji Lianxing not only didn’t evade but instead rubbed against his palm, like a compliant little kitten.

"Chen Mo?" Lei Xiwen was momentarily stunned, observing the two’s intimate demeanor, frowned slightly, "You are siding with this traitor?"

"Traitor?" Chen Mo wrapped an arm firmly around Ji Lianxing’s waist, said calmly, "Lord Lei, mind your words, she is my Dao Companion... one of them, be careful or I’ll accuse you of slander."

"Dao Companion?"

Upon hearing the term, Ji Lianxing’s ears burned, heart pounding wildly, she conveniently ignored the "one of them" part.

Lei Xiwen frowned even more deeply.

Yesterday at Zhao Hua Palace, the two had met once.

Chen Mo publicly opposed Vice Minister Yin Zhao, the tension was palpable.

Judging from the Empress’s stance, it was evident she favored Chen Mo, not only refraining from investigating his matter of maiming the Counselor, but also allowing him to continue probing the noble families...

Regarding such an infamous figure, Lei Xiwen initially didn’t want to provoke him, but likewise, he couldn’t afford to offend the other side either; fortunately, he carried the Yellow Decree, no matter how bold Chen Mo might be, he wouldn’t dare act recklessly.

With this thought, Lei Xiwen cleared his throat and said, "Recently, there has been turmoil in the city by the Demon Clan, the Demon Suppression Department is the first to bear the brunt; I brought people here also to prevent any wrongful intent..."

"Heh, yesterday the whole East Suburb was in chaos, not even a shadow of anyone from the Military Prison was seen, now all culprits are punished, and Lord Lei suddenly shows up." Chen Mo laughed sarcastically, "I am the First Grade Tributor of the Demon Suppression Department, with me here, there’s no need for Lord Lei to concern yourself, please leave."

Lei Xiwen’s expression became slightly awkward, clearing his throat, he replied, "Don’t misunderstand, I am not negotiating with you, this is an order, you have no choice but to comply!"
