I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon

Chapter 1340: Chapter 519: Yu Youhan’s Intimidation! The Mysterious Woman of the Chen Mansion!

"..."

Jiang Wangye looked at the collapsing Observatory in the precious mirror, his face looking quite grim.

He knew that Yu Youhan was very strong, but he never really had a clear concept of how strong, assuming all the Ultimate Venerables in the world shouldn’t be much different...

Until he witnessed the Demon-slaying Crossbow Arrow, condensed from Dragon Qi, being manipulated casually in her hand like a plaything, he realized something was wrong, that this woman’s power seemed to have reached another level!

And after Yu Youhan hit her target with one strike, she slowly turned to look, staring straight through the mirror at them!

Those cyan eyes were filled with bone-chilling killing intent. As their gazes met, everyone felt a sharp pain in their eyes, their hearts instantly turned cold, and they instinctively retreated!

They’ve been discovered!

Jiang Wangye barely managed to steady his nerves, quickly calming those around him, and said, "Don’t panic, the Taixu Mysterious Light Mirror is a rare treasure born from the Taixu Realm. It leaves no trace or mark, so even if she notices something unusual, it’s impossible for her to find us."

Upon hearing these words, Wanqi Shuofeng and the others’ expressions eased a little.

"Jiang Wangye, we agreed in the beginning that you would hold back Yu Youhan and the Daoist Venerable, and we only need to deal with Chen Mo," Qi Kaihai said solemnly, "Now, clearly, the situation has gone beyond our agreement. I cannot let the Qi Family take such a risk!"

Wanqi Shuofeng echoed, "Brother Qi’s words make sense. In my opinion, we should just call off this contract!"

Although they all had deep-seated grudges against Chen Mo and wished to eat him alive, revenge should still be enacted with prudence. Yu Youhan’s display of the Yuanmen Shooting Spear scared them out of their wits. If they fell into the opponent’s hands, they might not even know how they’d die!

"Isn’t it a bit too late to say this now?" Jiang Wangye shook his head and said, "Do you think if you back out now, Chen Mo will spare you? With his growth rate, given time, he will surely become Ultimate Venerable, and the first thing he will do is cleanse the noble families!"

Wanqi Shuofeng frowned.

Jiang Wangye’s words had some truth to them.

With Wu Lie’s death, the Imperial Power is vacant, and the entire Jiu Zhou is facing a major reshuffle.

Once the Imperial Consort seizes the throne, with the nation’s fortunes, her power will only become more terrifying. Added to that is the troublesome Chen Mo. By then, these noble families won’t even have a place to stand!

"Gentlemen, you should face reality, we’ve long since had no choice!"

Jiang Wangye surveyed everyone and said in a low tone, "Though the Demon Extermination Crossbow has been destroyed, fortunately, the thunder tribulation hasn’t ceased. Consort Yu will certainly have to protect the Daoist Venerable and won’t be able to leave for a while—this is the best chance to kill Chen Mo!"

Wanqi Shuofeng and Qi Kaihai remained silent, as the panic on their faces faded and was gradually replaced by cold, sharp killing intent.

Indecision leads to trouble.

If the noble families want to live, Chen Mo must die!

Seeing this, Jiang Wangye calmed his heart slightly and seized the opportunity to say, "Then let’s act according to the original plan. Uncle Wanqi, lead your people to the Chen Mansion, cause as much commotion as possible, and draw Chen Mo away from the training ground. Young Master Sikong and Uncle Qi will ambush him midway..."

"Rest assured, I’ve arranged everything with the Five Cities Military Department and the Forbidden Guard. No one will mess things up!"

"I’ll keep an eye on Consort Yu here and will notify you immediately if there’s any movement!"

Wanqi Shuofeng and Qi Kaihai exchanged glances.

Although they felt this guy was using them as cannon fodder, there was no other way now. Only someone from the Jiang Family could use the Taixu Mysterious Light Mirror, and indeed someone needed to constantly monitor the training ground.

"About the Emperor’s corpse promised earlier..." Wanqi Shuofeng probed.

Jiang Wangye knew these people would not act unless they saw tangible benefits. He nodded and said, "Rest assured, Uncle, the contract states clearly, I will not renege."

He waved his hand, and the image on the mirror shifted, reflecting a secret chamber.

The room was dimly lit, airtight, with two bronze coffins placed side by side on the ground, containing two corpses, their faces covered by shadows, obscuring their features. The surrounding space was slightly distorted. Even through the image, one could feel the strong presence of Origin!

"This is..."

Wanqi Shuofeng’s throat moved as a trace of fervor flashed in his eyes.

The black fog around Sikong Zuiyue also churned, clearly indicating inner turmoil.

"I’m sure with your eyesight, you can recognize what this is—the well-preserved body of the Ancient Emperor who perished a thousand years ago, with its Origin intact, all prepared for you!"

Jiang Wangye looked at Qi Kaihai and said, "Whatever was promised to Uncle Qi will also be fulfilled."

He took out a silver horizontal bar seal from his sleeve and placed it on the table, showing words inscribed in Jade Seal Script that read "Wenyuan Pavilion Seal."

?!

Qi Kaihai’s pupils trembled.

This was the special seal used by the Cabinet for confidential memorials and submissions, symbolizing the core power of Great Yuan!

Such an important item, in the hands of Jiang Wangye, a mere commoner?

It seems the entire Cabinet has been infiltrated by the Jiang Family!

"Zhuang Jingming has already betrayed us. The Jiang Family will clean the house, and when the time comes, the position of Prime Minister will be vacant. I can assure you, if we succeed in assassinating Chen Mo this time, the position will be yours, Qi Family." Jiang Wangye said.

Now that everything had been said, they did not hesitate any longer, got up, and left the room.

They must seize every moment and act quickly. Once the thunder tribulation dissipates and Consort Yu is free, there will be no chance left!

Jiang Wangye stood at the door, cupped his hands, and said, "Then I will await your good news. If anything arises, feel free to call for support—remember, Chen Mo must be killed!"
