Chapter 414: The Traitor in the University, a Conspiracy Against Jiang Chen

The Ye Family's affairs unfold throughout the Empire, while Hong Jishi and Li Xueru move as swift as thunder.

Many people increasingly discover that Hong Jishi and Li Xueru's power is not only their own combat strength, but more shockingly, their extensive network of contacts.

In the Empire, some renowned mage bloodline families, such as the Level 95 top-tier Lin Zhenzi, are on par with Hong Jishi.

The Yi Family, a summoner bloodline, has its head Yi Qianjue at a high Level 94.

The Divine Swordmaster Feng Family, long stationed at Fortress No. 8, and the Su Family, a line of Holy Light Mages.

These families, usually not very active, act now, shocking the entire Empire and even the whole world.

Divine-level Strongmen emerge one after another; according to the list provided by Hong Jishi, within a short time they almost cripple the Demon-Worship Society.

When the Demon-Worship Society reacts, they have already suffered heavy losses.

The years of effort have gone to waste.

Hong Jishi uses this to tell the world that he is not completely ignorant of your existence.

It is because of this incident that people realize how deeply the Demon-Worship Society has infiltrated.

The military, the royal family, major families, all higher academies, and even local officials all have members of the Demon-Worship Society.

The Demon-Worship Society's members begin to counterattack, and the Empire falls into chaos in an instant.

Some Demon-Worship Society members hold high positions domestically and resist using their own power.

In response, Hong Jishi has only one reply: Kill!

The chaos was within his expectations, yet it remains controlled to a certain extent.

It only takes a few days to suppress it.

Jiang Chen is completely unaware of the external turmoil; for the past two days he has been focused on grinding the Dungeon Hall.

In just two days, he has risen from Level 45 to Level 48.

Two

Days to rise three levels; this speed would absolutely shock anyone.

Due to the "Beast God Plateau" instance, Jiang Chen, in the 40‑to‑50 level range, advances like a train.

This astonishing leveling speed will not be curbed until he reaches Level 50.

After all, such large-scale dungeons are hard to find; the Dungeon Hall contains hundreds of instances, but only two are large-scale.

The only super-large dungeon that surpasses large-scale ones is a single one, and it is up to Level 66.

He could not enter it before reaching Level 61.

On the third day that Hong Jishi brandished a slaughtering blade against the Demon-Worship Society, the teleportation array in the Dungeon Hall lit up, and dozens of people were teleported in.

These people all wore Shenlong University attire; they are all Shenlong University students.

Yet they came from different academies, including students from the top academies of the Dragon Race, Creation, and Flame Emperor.

This team instantly sparked many people's curiosity.

"Strange, how can there be such a team."

"I don't know, I'm curious, I feel a killing aura from these people."

"It seems there's more than just killing aura, there's also a strange aura."

"I felt it too, but I can't put it into words."

The students in the Dungeon Hall all found it odd.

Ping Jin also has a team formed by multiple academies.

But a team of over thirty, all from different academies, has never been seen.

These people, bearing killing aura, rushed into the Dungeon Hall and then arrived at the entrance of the "Beast God Plateau" instance.

"Confirm Jiang Chen just entered."

"Confirmed."

"Let's move."

After the brief exchange, someone produced several black stones.

The stones were instantly activated, turning into a

Stream of Black Light surged into the Instance Vortex.

Then these people simultaneously chose to enter the instance.

It was then that the others realized something was wrong.

"Bad, the stones they took out are Abyss Demon stones."

"No wonder I sensed their strange aura; that is the Abyss Demon's aura."

"These guys are members of the Demon-Worship Society; they intend to deal with Divine General Jiang."

"Who would have thought the Demon-Worship Society had infiltrated our Shenlong University."

"Something big happened, quickly inform the instructors."

These people each sent warnings to their own instructors.

In an instant the whole academy trembled; the instructors received the news, skipped their classes, and rushed to the Dungeon Hall together.

But when they arrived, they found the instance had been sealed.

Those outside cannot get in, and those inside cannot get out.

In less than two minutes, almost half the instructors at the university had arrived at the Dungeon Hall.

After all, it concerns Jiang Chen and the Abyss Demon, so everyone takes it seriously.

Suddenly a instructor let out a maniacal laugh, "Everyone here is dead; Shenlong University must feel sorrowful."

Just as people were stunned, he produced several demon stones and violently activated them.

A massive Barrier appeared, enveloping the entire Dungeon Hall.

Abyssal Fire blazed fiercely, and a phantom of the Demon King emerged within the flames.

The hidden strongmen inside Shenlong University simultaneously awoke.

"Bold, you actually came to my Shenlong University."

"You demon brats, you're courting death."

"Don't you even look at where this is? Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."

Amid the roars, one mighty figure after another surged straight into the sky.

At this moment, a Barrier also appeared outside Shenlong University, and the sky burned with Abyssal Fire.

The Abyss Demon King's laughter rang across the heavens and earth.

A similar one

The scene is not limited to playing out inside Shenlong University.

Throughout the entire Shenlong Empire, many higher academies displayed similar scenes.

The Demon Worship Society went mad and began a full‑scale counterattack.

This is exactly what Li Xueru had predicted, a cornered dog leaping over the wall.

In the "Beast God Plateau" instance, Jiang Chen had just entered the instance not long ago.

The Undead Legion was, as usual, pulling monsters.

Suddenly the entire instance trembled, and the once‑bright plateau dimmed abruptly.

A massive amount of Black Qi sprouted, and ink‑green flames ignited in the air.

"Abyssal Fire?"

Jiang Chen recalled the Undead Legion and looked up at a sky that had turned a black‑green hue.

In the blink of an eye, Abyssal Fire had spread throughout the entire instance.

"How can Abyssal Fire appear inside the instance? Could something have happened in the Dungeon Hall?"

Jiang Chen thought to himself that he wanted to leave the instance, yet there was no response at all.

The reason grinding in the Dungeon Hall is safe is because there is an exit mechanism.

Whenever danger arises, even at Hell Difficulty, one can exit the instance at any time.

But now, Jiang Chen found that he could not leave the instance.

The Teleport Stone also lost its effect.

The only Teleport Stone still functional on him now is the one that can go to the Abyss, and only it has not failed.

Jiang Chen understood that it was because this Teleport Stone's tier was too high to be sealed.

A sinister laugh echoed from the sky, and Abyssal Fire rained down everywhere, landing on the instance's monsters.

The monsters began to mutate one after another, their levels rising sharply.

At the same time, a squad appeared inside the instance.

When Jiang Chen saw them, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.

These trainees who entered the instance came from different academies.

Moreover, each wore a ferocious expression, brimming with murderous intent.

Jiang

Chen was highly sensitive to the killing aura and instantly realized these people had come to kill him.

After entering the instance, they quickly took up different positions.

Each person held a black Demon Stone in hand, activating it simultaneously.

Jiang Chen scanned the scene, "Thirty‑six people; each one's position seems deliberate."

"Is this a formation?"

The Demon Stones were activated, and a multitude of formation lines were instantly sketched.

A massive formation fully took shape in almost 0.1 seconds.

Abyssal Fire rose within the formation.

"Burn my body, sacrifice my soul, summon the Demon King to descend!"

"Burn my body, sacrifice my soul, summon the Demon King to descend!"

"Burn my body, sacrifice my soul, summon the Demon King to descend!"

All thirty‑six shouted in unison, each face filled with a hue of madness.

After each cry, the Abyssal Fire grew even more intense.

These people were burned to ash in the flames, yet none cried out in pain; every face was written with madness.

Abyssal Fire surged into the sky, linking with the Abyssal Fire above the instance.

At this moment, the instance trembled, and Abyssal Aura spread rapidly.

Not only the monsters in the instance mutated, but the environment did as well.

In that instant, the instance seemed to become the Abyss World.

Jiang Chen heard a roar.

The roar came from the Abyss Flame before his eyes, within which a pair of gigantic eyes appeared.

Jiang Chen instantly recognized the owner of those eyes—an old friend, the Flame Demon King.

Accompanied by the roar, Abyssal Fire grew even more frenzied, as if to incinerate the entire world.

Jiang Chen fully understood that these guys were members of the Demon Worship Society.

They sealed the instance with Abyss Demon Stones, then sacrificed themselves to summon the Flame Demon King.

This was an attempt to annihilate completely

Myself.

It seems they have made perfect preparations, and in the university probably no one can help me.

He must face the Abyss Demon King alone.

Jiang Chen's expression became exceedingly solemn at this moment.

This time, he has to go all out again.

Fortunately, the Abyss Teleport Stone was not sealed, so he still has a way out.

"Since that's the case, let's see if I can slay the Demon King."

Jiang Chen became excited, the Domain Godstone spun rapidly with excitement, and killing intent surged to the heavens!
