The Demon Concubine of God

Lord Shen was sprayed with black mist by Jin Zhongquan, the ghost, and immediately felt the sky darken. In that instant, he understood what it felt like to be possessed by a ghost.

Fortunately, he was an evil cultivator, and with so many years of cultivation in evil arts, he was not harmed by such a breath of ghostly energy. In just a few breaths, he dissolved the ghostly energy.

Jin Zhongquan also figured out what kind of person Lord Shen was. After all, they had worked together in the court many years ago. He never expected that after so many years, when he saw Lord Shen again, who claimed to be a descendant of the Confucian sage, he would find that he was all show and no substance, but his inner strength was already black as hell.

Although Jin Zhongquan became a ghost, he was a general and king both in life and in death. Having been a ghost king for so many years, he couldn't help but stand up for justice when he encountered injustices in the underworld. In front of someone like Lord Shen, he simply couldn't tolerate it at all.

Jin Zhongquan was filled with anger, and immediately transformed into a fierce ghostly aura. As the fierce ghostly aura on his body rose higher and higher, this surging and expanding yin energy appeared to mortal humans as a powerful whirlwind. The whirlwind gradually and forcefully spun in place, transforming into a tornado that rose from the ground and rolled up.

With such domineering aura, Jin Zhongquan hadn't even made a real move yet, but he had already swept Lord Shen and Shen Shuyu into the air.

The two people were caught in mid-air, completely helpless and desperate.

Lord Shen was still thinking about his Jin family army, and even in this critical situation, he refused to beg for mercy.

On the contrary, Shen Shuyu was a shrewd man who knew when to yield. Seeing that he was about to die in the tornado, he begged for mercy repeatedly, calling out "Grandpa Jin, Grandfather Jin" over and over again.

When they landed on the ground, they were in such a sorry state that they looked worse than beggars, their clothes were tattered and their hair was filthy.

The two vomited for a long time before gradually regaining consciousness. When they turned over and tried to stand up, they found a figure blocking their view. They looked up at the person.

"You? You!"

Shen Shuyu was both shocked and furious.

Lord Shen wasn't too surprised. He shook his head in defeat and said, "I was wondering why you let me and my troops go so easily during the day, Shen Wen. Wasn't this all part of your plan?"

Shen Wen crossed his arms and waited for the two people to sit up and look up at him.

Shen Wen said, "You know me so well? Are you waiting for me to praise you after the fact? Stop being so clever. Now you see, your so-called troops are not yours at all, and don't even think that they will come back, because that's impossible."

Lord Shen gritted his teeth! In the past half hundred years, he had always been the one to be sarcastic and mock others, so how come he turned out the other way around in front of Shen Wen?

He looked closely at Shen Wen. He had watched him grow up, and Shen Wen was a good-for-nothing he had looked down on. How did he become a completely different person? If they weren't sharing the same body, he would have really thought they were two different people.

The thought of losing the power he had almost gained and the shattering of his dream of avenging his family shattered completely robbed Shen Shuyu of his reason. Pointing at Shen Wen, he cursed, "It's all your fault, you troublemaker! If you hadn't been helping those who harmed the Shen family, how could we have ended up like this? You jinx, how dare you face the dead members of my Shen family? And you even deserve the surname Shen? You bastard, you degenerate! You deserve to die!"

Shen Wen felt increasingly embarrassed for him as she listened! She couldn't help but spread her fingers and slap herself on the face.

"How could the Shen family have such an idiot like you? You're simply unbearable to look at!"

Shen Wen couldn't hold back and cursed out loud.

Lord Shen also looked down on this fool, but he had spoiled him for so many years not because of his stupid brain, but because of his young body.

Jin Zhongquan withdrew his power, stepped forward, and bowed to Shen Wen, saying, "It's all thanks to you for destroying that damned Immortal Venerable. Because of his death, I was able to escape from the evil curse array he set up, and thus reawaken the brothers who were captured in the mass grave and almost became puppets. And those brothers who are still alive, they really suffered too much."

Jin Zhongquan cried several times while talking about this, and still couldn't help wiping away his tears.

Jin Zhongquan continued, "I never expected that damned evil cultivator would have given Shen a backup plan. You guessed right. Luckily, we were prepared. Because of the precautions, we were able to see the flaws of the thunder talisman. In the end, it wasn't that evil cultivator who was personally there to patch up the loopholes in the formation. Our ghost brothers, who almost became puppets, only ended up in the bodies of soldiers. With me, the Ghost King, able to summon them in time, they could get off the human bodies at any time. This way, neither our ghost brothers nor the remaining members of my Jin family army were harmed."

Shen Wen nodded and said, "Will you need my help with the rest of the time? Fortunately, the Jin family army has always regarded you as their soul. When you, their former master, summon them, they will immediately abandon others and obey your orders again."

At this point, Shen Wen glanced at Lord Shen with his eyes, and Lord Shen immediately understood the meaning of the "other person" he mentioned.

Lord Shen was unwilling to accept this, looking just like someone who had stolen something and was being returned to its rightful owner in front of the benefactor.

Lord Shen also realized that the defeat was due to Shen Wen, but he didn't understand. A sense of resentment and unwillingness lingered in his heart, causing him to roar at Shen Wen, "I don't believe it! How could you know the Immortal Venerable's glorious plan just by guessing? You stumbled upon all of this by accident, didn't you? Heaven really favors you, letting a mortal and a lonely ghost break this flawless formation by chance."

Shen Wen laughed. She really wanted to lean in his face and spit at him with all her might.

However, she wouldn't go to the trouble of telling him that she could tell, and that her judgment was no longer what it used to be.

Shen Wen turned around and said to Jin Zhongquan before leaving, "Don't pay any attention to him, just let him act crazy here."

Jin Zhongquan immediately laughed, and then his body gradually faded and his figure disappeared.

When the two of them went to look for Shen Wen again, Shen Wen had already disappeared.

As the morning light grew stronger, the surrounding scenery came into view, but everything had already vanished. Looking at the empty valley, only the mournful cries of two stray dogs echoed through it.

The father and son, who were arranged to sleep in the cave, were still fast asleep, completely oblivious to the disgraced and dejected Lord Shen.

Standing in the courtyard of Prince Rui's mansion, Shen Wen looked at Lord Shen and his companion in the valley, whose story was nearing its end. Only then did he feel a sense of peace. He turned off the hidden video and walked towards the gate of the mansion with his hands behind his back.

One potential threat has been eliminated; the next one is Prince Rui, who could go mad at any moment.

Recalling the ferocious appearance of Prince Rui, Shen Wen felt a pang of regret. How could her previously righteous and indignant nature have changed? If Prince Rui, such a social scum who disregarded human life, were in her modern life, she would have sneaked up on him overnight and shot him dead, even if it meant sacrificing a night's sleep.

As Shen Wen inwardly grumbled and regretted his actions, he walked towards the outside of the mansion.

At this moment, the monitoring and early warning system sounded. Shen Wen quickly turned on the invisible screen and saw that something had happened to the young emperor in the palace.

It turns out that the young emperor had secretly left the palace, and the palace guards and eunuchs were searching for him all over the world.

However, upon closer observation, Shen Wen noticed that Eunuch Guo, who was usually by the young emperor's side, was also absent. She knew that Eunuch Guo was extremely loyal to the young emperor, and if the young emperor had truly been kidnapped, given Eunuch Guo's temperament, he would have searched the world for him. Since Eunuch Guo was not present at such a critical moment, it meant that the two of them had left together.

Shen Wen felt a little relieved.

Shen Wen put away the invisible screen. Seeing that the door was just a stone's throw away, she took a few more steps, walked out of the courtyard, and planned to find a tree and use time travel to go to the palace.

To her surprise, she met with Butler Han, who had been sent to find her, as soon as she appeared at the door.

When Butler Han thought of his master's madness and the crazy things the master had just done, even in his anger he hadn't actually harmed Shen Wen, he was completely baffled.

However, he showed even more respect to Shen Wen, bowing his back even lower, before saying, "Miss, the Prince has sent me to invite you. He said that you must come to see him this time."

Shen Wen felt a strange unease; her intuition told her that the relationship between Prince Rui and herself was becoming increasingly complicated.

Shen Wen had only taken a few steps with Han Bai and the others when the alarm sounded from the drone. This was the drone she had sent to search for the young emperor's whereabouts. The fact that it sounded so quickly meant that they had found the young emperor.

Shen Wen then stopped Han Bai and told them to go a little further away and wait for her for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before going with him to Prince Rui's place.

Han Bai dared not refute. Although he was mindful of the prince's eagerness to see her, he was also trying to figure out what the prince was thinking. This ancestor placed himself in the most humble position in front of the prince, just as he had in front of the prince.

What he didn't know was that this behavior later had a specific term: "simp."

Since they were only told to stand a short distance away, which was well within their surveillance range, Han Bai complied.

When Shen Wen saw the footage from the inspection video, his usually calm eyes trembled several times.

She never imagined that, despite her urgent search, which included sending out drones, the young emperor was only separated from her by a garden.

Isn't the young emperor currently a guest at Prince Rui's residence?

No!

The word "visiting" is not appropriate to describe it.

Because the young emperor was not in a good position in front of Prince Rui.

Shen Wen saw it clearly: the young emperor had obviously been kidnapped by the experts sent by Prince Rui.

Not only the young emperor and Eunuch Guo, but also several familiar faces were in Prince Rui's room.

The first person Shen Wen recognized was Ji Zichu, the third young master of the Ji family, and his parents. Back when he was still the original Shen Wen, he had seen the couple a few times when he was in the Ji State Duke's Mansion. Moreover, the couple and Ji Zichu were sitting in a row on the ground. Although they were all tied up with ropes, their blood ties and kinship were very obvious when they sat in a circle.

There were a few men and women left, including a mother and daughter who looked very much like Princess Shanjin. When Prince Rui called her Princess Jinrou, he realized that she was the stepmother of Lady Xu. The middle-aged man next to them was Lady Xu's biological father, Prince Consort Zhan.

All of these people were taken back to Prince Rui's residence by Prince Rui, which wasn't particularly shocking. What shocked Shen Wen was that Prince Rui intended to kill them! Not only did he intend to slaughter these direct blood relatives, but according to Prince Rui's words, other members of the imperial clan were also tied up in the next room. They were also to be killed.

Prince Rui is truly insane!
