I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 19. The King's Arsenal
"President Zhao! Is this a blatant violation of the rules of the Six-Tailed Society?"

"rule?"

Zhao Jie slightly raised his pale pupils. "My rules are my rules."

With a soft hum, Xia Feng clearly felt the surrounding gravity rise abnormally, and the ground beneath their feet began to crack faintly.

Zhao Jie's martial arts uniform fluttered in the wind.

The man with slicked-back hair leaned steadily on his dragon-head cane, his suit impeccably tailored.

Two middle-aged men stared at each other coldly under the blood moon. Zhao Jie grinned sneer, "Uncle Wei, I'm the boss now, get out of my way!!"

As he spoke, he took a step forward and was about to push Wei Shutong aside.

At that moment, the surrounding space subtly rippled, and nearly a hundred black dots appeared. Xia Feng blinked and saw these black dots expand into near-future firearms of different models, densely arrayed and covering all directions, their dark muzzles all pointing at Zhao Jie, who had taken a step forward.

Zhao Jie's expression faltered slightly.

The man in the suit calmly raised his dragon-head cane, which mechanically folded and transformed into a dark-colored hunting rifle, the muzzle pressed against Zhao Jie's forehead.

“That’s what you call proper conduct,” Wei Shutong said calmly.

Xia Feng stood behind, his dark eyes widening in surprise. "Hiss, he actually got fooled!"
Zhao Jie's eyes twitched slightly, and the terrifying spiritual pressure he released suddenly receded. He grinned awkwardly and said, "Haha~ Old Wei, I was just joking. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

He raised his index finger and carefully deflected the gun barrel from his forehead. "Put it away, put it away. It's not good to unleash your psionic powers all the time. Don't scare the kids."

Wei Shutong remained expressionless, continuing to press the gun against Zhao Jie's forehead, and raised his chin, "Hmm?"

"..." Zhao Jie took a deep breath and said with an awkward laugh, "Okay, okay, I will abide by the rules of the Six-Tailed Society and will not retaliate against juniors."

But Wei Shutong didn't lower the gun; he pressed it firmly against Zhao Jie's forehead again. "Hmm??"

No, what else do you want me to say? Zhao Jie's eye twitched, and he suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, there's still a million-dollar bet. Don't worry, Lao Wei, a bet is a bet, I'll transfer it to your account later!"

The array of firearms, arranged in four directions, instantly shrank into stars and disappeared.

Wei Shutong also put down his hunting rifle, folded his dragon-head cane back into place, and walked slowly toward the city wall passage with a calm expression, leaving Zhao Jie with only a cold and aloof back view.

Hiss—he tricked him again. Xia Feng glanced at Zhao Jie's stiff smile, then silently and quickly followed, making his escape.

"This is what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'?"

Panda withdrew her downward gaze and turned to stare coldly at the tall, thin man. "Knight Yan, this is what you meant by 'absolutely foolproof'!!"

Yan Xujia frowned, staring intently at Xia Feng's departing figure below the city wall, his face grim. "Perhaps the assassin made a mistake and failed to find him."

"Didn't you say this assassin had zero mistakes and had even assassinated a third-tier spirit master?!"

"I--"

"Alright! Yan Xujia, you'd better pray that Xia Feng doesn't find out it was our Black Moon Church that did it, otherwise, if he tells the Lord about the assassination, neither of us will be in trouble!"

Panda's face darkened. "And another thing, you must not send anyone to assassinate him again, do you hear me!"

The two stared at each other for a moment. Yan Xujia clenched her fists and lowered her eyes slightly. "Okay, okay, I understand."

Mu Qingtong stood at the top of the stone steps of the city wall, her gaze fixed on Xia Feng's departing figure. She had originally planned to go home and wait two days before looking at the results, but she did not expect that this junior would be able to make a breakthrough in such a short time!
And it looks like he only suffered minor injuries.

There are only two possibilities now: either the assassin failed to find Xia Feng and he happened to escape, or the assassin was killed by Xia Feng.

Mu Qingtong believed the latter was more likely than the former.

If it is indeed the latter, this junior might be hiding some astonishing secret.

"interesting."

She smiled and said, "Xia Feng, you're even more interesting than I thought."

"Hey~~"

Xia Feng shivered and looked back at the car with a puzzled expression. The bustling city street scene under the night sky rushed past, and there was nothing unusual.

But he always felt a sense of panic, as if he were being targeted by a venomous snake.

"According to the rules of the society, peers can compete with each other without regard to the means, and elders cannot suppress juniors for any reason. In addition, even teachers cannot investigate the disciples' hidden abilities and methods, so don't worry, I won't ask you what happened in the Evil Dragon Forest."

Wei Shutong said earnestly, “But if you’re willing to talk about it, I’m naturally willing to listen.”

"Oh, I don't want to."

Wei Shutong: "."

He was genuinely, truly, very curious about how Xia Feng had managed to defeat Qi Xiao.

After all, Qi Xiao is proficient in the 'One-Tailed Spirit Robe' and can completely overwhelm Xia Feng, unless Xia Feng can also learn the 'One-Tailed Spirit Robe'. But is that possible?
He looked at the boy sitting casually in the car seat with suspicion. He had never noticed before, but why was this kid so unfathomable?

Shake his head.

"Alright. Considering the big surprise you gave me today, I won't ask any more questions." Wei Shutong ultimately stuck to his principles, suppressing his curiosity, and changed the subject, "Do you know why Zhao Jie suddenly got angry just now?"

Xia Feng smiled slightly: "Of course I know. Getting angry at me is just a pretense. After all, he doesn't really care that much about Qi Xiao. His real purpose is to test your strength, Lao Wei."

"Not too stupid."

"You think you're so smart?" Xia Feng rolled his eyes.

The man in the slicked-back hair and suit took out a bottle of red wine that looked expensive from the car's wine cabinet, looked up and said, "Kid, want a drink?"

"Do you have soy milk?" Xia Feng blinked. "I like soy milk, and I want it sweet."

"."

Wei Shutong ignored him and instead swirled his wine glass, inhaling the fragrant aroma.

"Lord Wangjue has made it clear that whoever reaches the Super Rank first, me or Zhao Jie, will truly take control of the Six-Tailed Society. It seems that Zhao Jie is starting to get anxious today."

The fourth and fifth ranks in the Spirit Master realm are collectively referred to as the Super Rank, and those above the fifth rank are called Venerables.

There is only one Venerable One in the entire District 51, and that is His Holiness the Pope of the Black Moon Church.

"Judging from the spiritual pressure just now, Old Wei, you haven't advanced to the Super Rank yet, have you?"

Xia Feng asked in confusion, "We're both at the third tier, and Zhao Jie is the acting president, so why would he be afraid of you?"

At this point, Wei Shutong's serious expression suddenly broke into a smile: "Naturally, it's because I can interpret spiritual meanings, while Zhao Jie cannot."

"Spiritual liberation? Were those guns created through spiritual liberation?" Xia Feng asked curiously.

“That’s right.” When the topic of spiritual liberation came up, this serious middle-aged man, who had an air of sophistication, became unusually excited. He said in a deep voice, “Spiritual artifacts—the King’s Arsenal—have the ability to create firearms out of thin air based on conceptual imagination, and can even create various futuristic sci-fi firearms.”

"How about it? Kid, isn't this ability pretty cool?" He stared intently at Xia Feng.

"Huh?" Xia Feng was taken aback, and when he looked up, he met the middle-aged man's radiant gaze.

Xia Feng pondered for a moment, then nodded: "He is indeed quite handsome."

The slicked-back-haired man seemed satisfied, a slight smile unconsciously playing on his lips. But upon noticing Xia Feng's gaze, his lips immediately tightened, and his expression returned to its serious and composed state.

"Not bad, you've got good taste, kid."

"."

Now I understand. It turns out that beneath this middle-aged man's serious and upright exterior lies the heart of a cool young man. Xia Feng has a completely new understanding of this adoptive father.

"Take this."

As he spoke, Wei Shutong tossed two items over.

A golden spirit paper recording the structure of the six-tailed spirit particle, and a small golden flower the size of a thumb.

"This is the 'Six-Tailed Flame' that helps with the cultivation of the Six-Tailed. Only one flame is born every three years, which is why the competition among the Six-Tailed is a three-year cycle, with the best being the strongest. You won the championship ahead of schedule this year, so this is your reward."

Xia Feng took the little flower, curiously sniffed it, and his expression immediately changed.

He looked up in confusion and asked, "Why does this flower smell so much like the fruit of wisdom?"

"That's natural, after all, it was irrigated with a lot of wisdom juice."

The man took a sip of his drink and said leisurely, "So it also has a strong effect in resisting the erosion of evil energy. It's a good thing, and it's best to take it as soon as possible."

"."

Take it as soon as possible? You might as well just take poison!

Xia Feng sighed helplessly, but it was a minor problem.

Anyway, he wasn't planning to use it.

Now, he can rely on Mu Qingtong to improve his spiritual pressure and learn about spiritual clothing, while he only needs to lie down and let Mu Qingtong take the initiative!
The only thing he needs to worry about is the magical artifact!

"I wonder what abilities my magical artifact will have?" Xia Feng thought to himself with anticipation.

But, has Mu Qingtong awakened her spiritual weapon yet?

He remembered that the anime's prologue briefly mentioned Mu Qingtong's psychic energy unsealing effect, which seemed to be related to hypnosis.

The thought of hypnosis terrified Xia Feng. Based on his extensive experience watching countless films, he believed that any ability related to hypnosis was extremely abnormal.

As for people who possess hypnotic abilities, they are even more perverted!
