How come this mage can fight better than a warrior?

In the magnificent palace of the Demon God Emperor, the Demon God Emperor Lin Batian was sitting on the majestic throne, his sharp eagle-like eyes scanning the ministers below.

The Demon God Emperor held a solemn court meeting as usual. However, not long after the court meeting began, Xiang Zhuangke, the patriarch of the Xiang clan, could no longer restrain his calculations and tried to set a trap for the Demon God Emperor Lin Batian.

Xiang Zhuangke bowed slightly, with a seemingly respectful but actually cunning smile on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, if anyone dares to shelter the Dragon Clan or the Dragon Empire, how will you deal with them?" Although his words sounded like he was asking the Demon King for advice, the hidden meaning was self-evident.

Facing Xiang Zhuangke's question, Demon King Lin Batian did not respond immediately. He just stared at him coldly, as if he had already seen through Xiang Zhuangke's thoughts. After a moment of silence, Lin Batian raised the corner of his mouth slightly and asked slowly: "Oh? Chief Xiang, have you found any clues?"

Hearing the Demon God Emperor's question, Xiang Zhuangke's heart was startled, but he quickly regained his composure and waved his hand and said, "Your Majesty, I don't have any solid evidence either. I just heard some rumors from time to time."

At this time, Zhu Jiyan, the patriarch of the Zhu family, stood up. He and Xiang Zhuangke had always had a close relationship, and they could be said to be like-minded friends.

Zhu Jiyan keenly realized that Xiang Zhuangke's question was intended to embarrass the Demon God Emperor, so he quickly took over the conversation and said in surprise: "Oh, Chief Xiang, what kind of hearsay can make you care so much? Is there really someone secretly colluding with foreign tribes, or even trying to rebel?"

Xiang Zhuangke continued speaking along with Zhu Jiyan's words: "Well... I really don't know the specifics. After all, these are just rumors circulating among the people. But in my opinion, treason is a heinous crime!" After saying that, he deliberately glanced at the Demon King, wanting to observe his reaction.

Zhu Jiyan said in a serious tone: "According to the laws of our great empire, anyone who dares to collude with the enemy and commit treason will be subject to the most severe trial and punishment! No matter who it is, as long as they commit such a crime, they will never escape the sanctions of the law!" His voice was loud and firm, as if he wanted everyone present to clearly hear the majesty and determination behind these words.

Xiang Zhuangke and Zhu Jiyan worked in perfect harmony, talking to each other. A hint of displeasure gradually emerged on Lin Batian's face on the throne.

Finally, Lin Batian couldn't help but speak: "Chief Xiang, Chief Zhu, why bother with those unfounded rumors! Everything must be based on evidence! Seek truth from facts!"

As soon as Lin Batian finished speaking, Xiang Zhuangke couldn't wait to take over the conversation: "Your Majesty, someone recently found traces of Longdong in Qingshui Lake! I wonder if you have heard of this matter?"

Zhu Jiyan followed up on Xiang Zhuangke's question and asked, "Long Dong? Which Long Dong? Is he the young emperor of the Dragon Empire?"

Xiang Zhuangke nodded and said, "It's him! And people have seen Master Xiaocha and Miss Yao's beautiful figures by the Qingshui Lake many times. After receiving this news, I dare not delay for a moment and reported it to Your Majesty immediately!"

At this moment, Yao Chonglei, the patriarch of the Yao clan who had been silent all this time, suddenly changed his expression. When he heard Xiang Zhuangke mention his daughter Yao Weiwei, his originally relaxed brows instantly frowned tightly, and he shouted sternly: "Xiang Zhuangke, what do you mean? Do you mean that Master Xiaocha and Weiwei are protecting Longdong? Please explain yourself clearly to me!"

Lin Batian frowned tightly, his heart full of doubt and anger. He had never expected that Xiang Zhuangke and Zhu Jiyan would team up to cause trouble for him.

What puzzled him even more was that Xiaocha had not revealed the slightest news to him about the Emperor of the Dragon Empire descending upon the Demonic Abyss. What on earth was Xiaocha up to? !

Lin Batian angrily questioned: "Chief Xiang, where did you get this information? Is this information credible? Is the person in Qingshui Lake really Long Dong?"

Xiang Zhuangke quickly replied, "Your Majesty! It is absolutely true! Xiang Zhufei from my clan witnessed Master Xiaocha and Yao Weiwei observing Longdong together by the Qingshui Lake."

Hearing this, Lin Batian became even more angry and shouted, "I'm asking if the man by the Qingshui Lake is Long Dong! Don't tell me those irrelevant things!"

Yao Chonglei: "Xiang Zhuangke, don't talk nonsense without evidence! Don't believe rumors!"

Xiang Zhuangke quickly responded, "It is indeed Longdong! But..."

Lin Batian couldn't wait to ask, "But what? Don't keep me in suspense! Tell me now!"

So, Xiang Zhuangke carefully showed the images taken by Xiang Zhufei to everyone present. Everyone looked closely and saw that on the screen, Long Dong seemed to be imprisoned in a crystal ball, and the crystal ball was quietly floating on the surface of the Qingshui Lake.

The crystal ball was extremely transparent. Even though they were far away, everyone could clearly see that the person in the crystal ball was Long Dong.

After watching the video, everyone started to talk about it. Not long ago, the demon army attacked the Exorcist Pass but suffered heavy losses. One of the important reasons why the demon army failed to attack the Exorcist Pass was that the Exorcist Pass received support from Long Dong and the forces behind him.

After the battle at Exorcism Pass, the demons showed fear whenever they mentioned Long Dong, as if Long Dong was some extremely terrifying and untouchable existence.

Now, Long Dong came to the Demonic Abyss quietly. How could this not shock people! More importantly, someone in the empire actually dared to protect Long Dong! This undoubtedly shocked everyone.

For a moment, the ministers in the court were like a powder keg that had been lit, and they were instantly in an uproar. Various discussions and condemnations came one after another, and they were endless.

However, despite everyone's anger, they still had some reservations. Because Lin Xiaocha was not only a god-level powerhouse, but also the daughter of the Demon King Lin Batian, so even if everyone speculated that Lin Xiaocha was protecting Long Dong, no one dared to speak out easily.

The court fell into a strange stalemate, with everyone secretly observing the development of the situation, waiting for someone to step forward and break the deadlock.

Lin Batian is very unhappy now. Xiang Zhuangke and Zhu Jiyan have been fanning the flames. Now everyone is discussing all sorts of messy things like harboring and collaborating with the enemy.

Lin Batian thought to himself that he would never believe that his beloved daughter Lin Xiaocha would protect Long Dong. The army led by Lin Xiaocha suffered heavy casualties because of Long Dong. Lin Batian thought that Lin Xiaocha was just aware of the situation but did not report it.

Just when Lin Batian was about to use some powerful means to help Lin Xiaocha resolve the current dilemma, something unexpected happened - Lin Xiaocha actually came to the court to attend the court meeting as if nothing had happened. This situation immediately made Lin Batian feel overwhelmed, and the response plan he had originally thought of seemed to become difficult to implement in an instant.

If Lin Xiaocha was not present at this moment, with his supreme power and strategy as the Demon King, he could easily restore Lin Xiaocha's reputation and reverse the unfavorable situation with just a little trickery. However, now that Lin Xiaocha has appeared here, everyone's attention will inevitably be attracted to her, and they may swarm around and fiercely criticize and accuse her. In this way, the situation will probably get more and more out of control and become difficult to deal with.
