I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 635. The Destruction of a Kingdom
The moment the man appeared, Xia Feng guessed his identity.

The fourth pillar of the empire, currently serving as a pillar of the state, and a merchant noble.

Xia Feng narrowed his dark eyes slightly, but Shang Jue did not seem to appear in his true form, but rather in a projection form.

As the phantom of the black and gold robe materialized, a divine aura roared outwards, and those majestic, ancient, dragon-like vertical pupils casually glanced sideways.

"Buzz—" Xia Feng's dark pupils shrank involuntarily. The terrifying pressure, like a mountain collapsing and the sky falling, slammed directly into his shoulder bone, and his knees creaked out with a sharp grinding sound.

"Buzz—! Buzz—!!"

The mere pressure alone made it impossible for Xia Feng to move an inch.

Although this pressure was not as terrifying as that of a god, it was still at the level of a Dark Sage.

A complete and utter crushing defeat!
At the same time, due to the arrival of Shang Jue's projection, the boundless alternate space formed by Naya's Illusionary Realm began to shake, like a broken light bulb, its light flickering and dimming.

Inside the main hall, the guests, who had been completely unaware of what was happening, were suddenly startled and looked up.

Although they still couldn't see through the golden barrier on the ceiling, they all clearly sensed that a terrifying being had descended!

That being shone as brightly as a lighthouse on a dark sea; everyone could clearly sense its presence through their spiritual power, and fear and trepidation arose in their hearts.

This person is... a high-ranking official?!
Why is His Excellency, the Pillar of State, here?

Could it be that he came in person to celebrate Mr. Dongjun's birthday? Everyone was surprised and stood still with solemn expressions. Even those who were sitting casually quickly stood up and stood respectfully with their hands at their sides.

Like subjects paying homage to a king.

Depsy had no choice but to put down his wine and stand up, frowning as he looked up at the barrier high above, sighing inwardly.

What happened in that short half-minute was something he had never expected.

Through his special spiritual pressure vision, he thought that the mysterious person who had kidnapped Freya was finally going to be dealt with by Ye Lidongjun's ultimate move.

The next instant, Ye Lidongjun's spiritual pressure suddenly collapsed like an avalanche.

It must be admitted that this mysterious person's methods were indeed too bizarre.

Unfortunately, even Depp did not expect that Shang Juezhuguo would attach such a high degree of importance to Ye Lidongjun.

Such methods of divine projection are generally impossible to achieve without the assistance of various rare spiritual materials and the prior arrangement of arrays for summoning.

Unless a deity is willing to expend its own essence and forcibly project itself.

Furthermore, the greater the distance between the two sides, the more essence the divine projection needs to consume, the fewer means the projection can use, and the lower its strength.

The Duke of Shang and the Pillar of State are now being forcibly projected.

As he pondered, Depp's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. It seemed he needed to reassess Ye Lidong's position with Shang Jue.

Furthermore, his attempt to assassinate Ye Lidong today was indeed somewhat reckless, but fortunately, the Peach-Faced Man took the blow for him and managed to uncover some information.

So it wasn't a wasted trip.

"How did we manage to attract this bastard?" Wei Shutong stood in the shadows, leaning on his cane, his gaze growing increasingly serious as he stared at Shang Jue's projection. He couldn't help but think, "Has Xia Feng gone too far?" He certainly didn't want to be visiting Xia Feng's grave this time next year.

But now that they don't know the specifics inside, and Xia Feng says he has his own plans, Wei Shutong doesn't dare to enter rashly, his brows furrowed.

"Tap tap tap," Wei Shutong's fingertips tapped the wooden cane from under his sleeve, the rhythm growing faster and faster, like the shimmering compound eyes of a cicada crawling on his index finger.

"Your Excellency, Pillar of State." After a moment of surprise, Jianxin quickly turned around and bowed respectfully to the distant sky.

She felt a little relieved; if Shang Jue arrived, Mr. Dong Jun should be able to survive.

The illusory man leaned back on the black and gold throne, his ancient and majestic crimson-gold vertical pupils first looking at Xia Feng, and then at Freya, who was being held hostage by Xia Feng.

He glanced at it briefly, then his gaze finally settled on the heterochromatic-eyed youth in the wheelchair.

Immediately, a divine golden light descended from above Ye Lidong's head like a gentle drizzle, its warm and refreshing sensation repairing his soul.

Countless tiny white hands still crawled in his ruptured, bleeding eye sockets, but at this moment, two eyeballs rolled out of the sea of ​​hands from the center of his eye sockets, their heterochromatic red and blue pupils gleaming with a bloody light.

As Ye Lidongjun gradually regained his senses, his heart was still filled with panic and fear. Only then did he realize that he had just walked through the gates of hell!
And all of this is because of that bug!

Anger and a real sense of humiliation surged up again, causing Ye Lidongjun's nerves to throb once more.

In fact, what humiliated him most was not being taken away, but that the fruits of his careful planning were snatched away by Xia Feng! And he had even personally handed them over to Xia Feng!
It's estimated that Xia Feng absorbed all the Dragon Cultivation Fruit power within Leia's body. Even though Xia Feng isn't a half-dragon, it still greatly benefited him.

Fortunately, Shang Juezhuguo did not give up on him and came to his rescue at the last moment.

Furthermore, although he was thoroughly outmaneuvered by Xia Feng, that insect, and his head was now completely green with envy, today's Holy Liberation Plan was a complete success!
With a pseudo-S-grade spiritual artifact in hand, there's nothing to fear.

After all, no matter how bizarre Xia Feng's disgusting insect methods are, they can't possibly steal his spiritual artifact.

Through this ordeal, Ye Lidong truly realized that there is nothing more important in this world than living, and living strong!
"Crack—" He twisted his neck from side to side, looking at Xia Feng again. His face was pale and cold, and the corners of his lips, which were slowly curving upwards, still retained the traces of madness and insanity. He kept chuckling strangely in his throat, with contempt and sarcasm. "What, still have tricks up your sleeve?"

"Keep your mind calm." The authoritative and indifferent voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Ye Lidongjun's ferocious expression froze, then slowly softened. The blood-red light in his heterochromatic eyes quickly dissipated, becoming gentle and calm. He bowed respectfully to the being on the throne in the distant sky.

"According to the Sumeru Convention, the ninth seat should belong to Ye Li."

The man in the black and gold robe spoke with a voice as resounding and majestic as a tolling bell, his crimson-gold eyes looking down at Xia Feng, "Human, which faction do you come from?"

The Sumeru Covenant? Xia Feng's dark eyes narrowed slightly. If this meant that the nine seats for the Sumeru Throne had actually been decided long ago?
Or was this ninth seat predetermined?
The forces of the other eight seat holders will not cause trouble for Ye Lidongjun.

The forces that manage to secure the top eight spots are undoubtedly the major super powers operating both overtly and covertly within the empire, and are the absolute rulers of the empire.

Therefore, it can be further inferred that many powerful figures in the upper echelons of the empire actually saw everything Ye Lidongjun did in the Garden and Baidi City in order to accumulate life points and obtain a seat, but chose to turn a blind eye.

Although Xia Feng had long witnessed the empire's decay, he never imagined it could have deteriorated to this extent.

This level of destruction is enough to warrant the annihilation of a nation!
