Chapter 368: Jiang Ruo Storms the Royal Court, Jiang Chen's Incident Eradicates Your Clan

Jiang Chen pondered the words that Li Xueru had once told him.

Opportunities often come accompanied by danger.

Sometimes, the more dangerous the place, the more likely it hides a great opportunity.

Yet likewise, deadly danger may also lurk behind it.

Jiang Chen etched the saying deep in his heart.

At present, it seems the situation truly is so.

In Si Tu Yu's words, the Fusishi Jie is an extremely dangerous place, even a Divine-level Strongman might meet death there.

Yet this perilous land surprisingly harbors the wondrous phenomenon of Creation Lightning.

Jiang Chen seemed to become the Lightning's "target" along the way; over several days, he was struck by thunder at least a hundred times.

However, the warm current flowing within grew stronger, and Jiang Chen's mood grew increasingly pleasant.

It has been seven days since they entered the Fusishi Jie, and in those seven days they have traveled over 3,000 kilometers.

Jiang Chen believes his chosen direction is correct, because the Fusishi they encounter are of ever higher levels.

Now, the Fusishi they meet have all exceeded Level 20.

When a Level‑20 Fusishi is struck by lightning, it can evolve to Level 24, but the upgrade speed noticeably slows.

This is because the experience added by Creation Lightning remains unchanged, while the required experience grows as the level rises.

Nevertheless, Jiang Chen feels pleased, for it also means they are gradually approaching the depths of the Fusishi Jie.

"Have you noticed a pattern?" Jiang Chen asked.

Si Tu Yu looked at him with slight doubt, "What pattern."

Jiang Chen said, "Earlier I found that Fusishi upgraded by lightning have left their original zones."

"So I hypothesize that Fusishi of different levels each have their own activity zones."

Si Tu Yu's eyes brightened slightly, "If we follow the rule that the closer to the center, the higher the Fusishi level, then as long as we move in the direction the Fusishi are advancing, we can reach the central point."

Si Tu Yu isn't dull; Jiang Chen's reminder made her grasp it instantly.

Jiang Chen nodded, "Exactly, so these past days I've been adjusting our heading and shouldn't have gone wrong."

Si Tu Yu only then noticed that in these days Jiang Chen had indeed made several subtle adjustments to the heading.

It turned out he was simply following the Fusishi's route.

She seemed to recall something, her pretty face suddenly flushed, and she blurted, "I also thought..."

"Thought what?" Jiang Chen looked at her oddly; this princess's thoughts were a mystery.

Si Tu Yu whispered, "I also thought you were adjusting direction these days to find a storm, hoping to be struck by lightning."

Jiang Chen's mouth twitched twice; a woman's mind is rather strange.

"That's one aspect, but the most important thing is still to find the road to the center."

Jiang Chen still thought of returning; the Creation Academy's ancestral land is about to open, not to be missed.

This concerns whether he can achieve Profession Ascension at his Third Transcendence.

Because his attributes increased too much at Second Transcendence, the effect of Profession Ascension seems not to have manifested.

In fact, Jiang Chen knows well that without Profession Ascension, his attributes could not have exploded like this.

The same applies at Third Transcendence, completing two Profession Ascensions, pushing his attributes to the limit.

At this moment, the outside world had already become a mess.

The Shenlong Empire experienced several major events in succession.

The military and the Empire simultaneously issued a wanted notice, targeting former royal members: Si Tu Tuo and Si Tu Shun.

The two hid like mice, disappearing without a trace.

Si Tu Liang gave the order, declaring the two guilty of treason against the Human Race, betraying the Human Race, and they could be killed on sight.

The Shenlong Tower Trial finally concluded three days ago, after which Hong Jishi and Ao Hongchen jointly arrived at Nine Fortress.

It is said that on that day, the killing aura in Nine Fortress surged skyward.

Several people were slain on the spot.

The third event was that the whole nation launched another Sweep against the Demon‑Worshipping Society.

This operation will continue for a long time, and it's unknown how many will be slain.

However, for the Human Race, anyone linked with Abyss Demon should die.

After leaving Nine Fortress, Hong Jishi did not return to Hong Shen Courtyard, but entered the Hall of Heroic Souls inside Fortress No. 1 again.

Inside, he monitored Jiang Chen's Soul Mark.

Ao Hongchen returned to Shenlong Tower; since his return, the terrifying killing aura has constantly shrouded the sky above Huang Gong like a black cloud.

People in Shenlong City can all see that the sky over Huang Gong is perpetually covered by a layer of pitch‑black clouds.

The atmosphere is suppressed to the extreme; all royal members dare to be angry but not to speak.

After all, the master of the killing aura is Ao Hongchen; a big fist is the hard truth.

Fifteenth day after Jiang Chen's disappearance, a person arrived outside Huang Gong.

She was tall and graceful, almost perfectly beautiful, with long straight legs, exuding astonishing charm.

Her arrival attracted countless gazes.

She stepped lightly like a lotus and approached the Teleportation Array of the royal family outside Huang Gong.

"Who are you?"

A guard watching the Teleportation Array immediately blocked her.

She let out a coquettish laugh, and two exquisite swords appeared in her hands.

She slashed a few times, her posture elegant as if dancing.

This guard squad of exactly six members, with an average level above 55, was collectively seriously wounded.

Then she, with a few sword strokes, directly destroyed the Teleportation Array outside the Huang Gong.

Sharp alarms have already sounded within the Huang Gong, and the strong ones inside the Huang Gong are soaring upward, rushing toward here.

"Audacious!"

"Dare to destroy the royal family's Teleportation Array, do you know what crime you have committed!"

These days, the royal family has already been sufficiently vexed.

The sky above is shrouded by dark clouds; even a breath feels oppressive.

Who would have thought someone would still show up at the door.

And she is a woman whose beauty is beyond belief.

Jiang Ruo, holding twin swords, slowly rose into the air, standing gracefully in mid‑air.

A crisp voice rang through the entire Huang Gong: "From today onward, members of the royal family are not permitted to step a single step outside the Huang Gong. Anyone who leaves shall be killed without mercy."

The voice was pleasant and melodious, yet the words were filled with murderous intent.

"What a huge nerve!"

"Truly, I'm sick of living."

Several Top-tier Professionals among the royal family sneered, and simultaneously moved against Jiang Ruo.

Jiang Ruo gently twisted her graceful figure, her Sword Qi turning into a dragon, instantly blasting the Top-tier Professionals back and leaving them gravely wounded on the spot.

The disparity, even among Top-tier Professionals, is evident.

Jiang Ruo spoke as if performing a trivial act, her voice gradually turning cold: "If Xiao Chen gets into trouble, I will slaughter your Si Tu family!"

Inside the Huang Gong, in the Main Hall, the Ruler Si Tu Liang, Divine-level Strongman Situ Zhan, and several elder relatives of the family gathered together.

They were all about to act, but Si Tu Liang stopped them.

"How infuriating, too infuriating, they've all been shown up."

"Ruler, why won't you let us act?"

They kept shouting nonstop.

Situ Zhan said coldly, "When has our Si Tu family ever endured such insult? Ruler, what reason do you have for blocking us?"

Si Tu Liang sighed, "She is Jiang Ruo, Jiang Chen's elder sister."

These days, the Si Tu family's resentment stems from Jiang Chen.

The one trapped in Fusishi Jie is not only Jiang Chen alone, but also their princess.

Royal family members have long been fed up; some, unable to contain their anger, shouted loudly, "Even if the matter of Divine General Jiang is our fault, her blatant showing up threatens the honor of our Si Tu family."

"I think she's only Level 70; I could just send her away, at most not hurt her."

Si Tu Liang shook his head, "It's not that simple; Jiang Ruo is that person's disciple, the sole disciple."

That person…

Everyone inhaled a cold gasp.

Among the All-Human Race, only one can be called 'that person' by Si Tu Liang.

The younger brother himself is a Divine General, and also a disciple of the three supreme deities Hong Shen, Ao God, and Confucian God.

The elder sister is even more perverse; at just a few years old she has already reached Level 70, her combat power terrifyingly immense, and she was taken as a disciple by that person.

Everyone in their hearts cursed their mother.

Whoever they offended, they offended these two perverts.

Take action?

Now who still dares to act?

If a single hair of Jiang Ruo were injured, that person would likely strike directly, possibly annihilating the Si Tu family.

That person's protectiveness is so extreme, it is recorded in history.

Anger, swallow it down.

Broke his teeth and swallowed them himself.

Now they can only pray that Jiang Chen never gets into trouble.

Otherwise, the Si Tu family would truly be finished.

The Shenlong Empire could replace the royal family.

In front of Jiang Chen and Si Tu Yu, a massive rainstorm cluster over ten kilometers in diameter loomed.

The area previously shrouded by the rainstorm was fixed and unchanging.

The rainstorm cluster is slowly moving, bringing down endless rain and terrifying lightning strikes.

The environment has changed.

The roaring sounds continuously emanated from the rainstorm cluster, lightning after lightning.

Faintly, one could see many Fusishi standing in the rain, some with oddly shaped bodies.

Jiang Chen realized he had stepped into a completely different zone.

The scene suddenly went black, and Si Tu Yu shouted, "Watch out!"

A Black Shadow slammed into Jiang Chen.

The Bone Armor erupted with White Light, bouncing the Black Shadow back.

The Black Shadow rolled on the ground, then bounced back at a speed far surpassing the Fusishi.

"Abyssal Demon Dog."
