Chapter 40 Escaping Alone in a Critical Moment

The Endless Lord was surrounded by the crowd, and his invincibility was about to expire.

However, their commotion also alerted the other purple demons living in this area, including eighteen followers of the Endless Lord.

They had received orders to launch an attack on him on the day the arena competition began, when the high priest was speaking on stage.

Meanwhile, the other eighteen purple demons who followed him gathered on the perimeter, ready to help him escape should his plan fail.

At this moment, the Endless Lord knew that he had reached a dead end, so he used the star chart to issue an emergency summoning order to the eighteen purple demons nearby.

Because the orders were issued simultaneously, even Qilu received them.

He immediately tried to warn them, but it was too late.

Apart from the one who turned against them, the other seventeen Purple Demons who rushed over gathered together and surrounded Ah Chen and his companions.

Ah Chen released a group attack talisman, the Snow Elf, to temporarily block their attack. Bo Yiyan then took out a dye spray and sprayed it at the seventeen purple demons.

Under the dark night sky, these purple demons, sprayed with dye, emitted a dazzling blue-gold fluorescence from their bodies.

Originally, they planned to finish the battle quickly, rescue the Endless Lord, and then escape to the most densely populated area in the Great Abyss Sea, where they would disguise themselves as ordinary Green Goblins and try to sneak out.

But at this moment, seeing the fluorescent light on their companions, they all fell into despair.

Just then, the high priest arrived with the enforcement team.

Seeing Xi'er busy fighting a group of rebellious purple demons, the high priest felt both worried and relieved.

The young master is already so brave, and with such a supportive and resourceful group of friends and family, how can she not rule the entire Great Abyss Sea in the future?

"Gentlemen! I know that most of you have been bewitched by the Endless Lord, which is why you have developed rebellious intentions."

As you can see, if you want to live, surrender now.

If you continue to resist stubbornly, then I will risk losing more than a dozen of my top-tier combatants to ensure your utter destruction!

The high priest's majestic voice rang out, and most of the dyed purple demons lost their will to fight.

For thousands of years, he personally led the elites of his clan to conquer and plunder many other worlds, accumulating great prestige.

Most of the rebels were already trembling with fear and had given up resistance.

In today's circumstances, it's almost impossible for them to escape.

Those who can advance to the Purple Demon realm have all gone through all sorts of hardships and difficulties; no one's cultivation level comes easily.

They followed the Endless Lord for two reasons: first, they admired his kindness towards the lower-class people; second, they wanted to stay with him in the Great Abyss Sea and enjoy more resources.

But they've already lost before they've even started.

If the high priest is willing to show leniency and spare their lives, wouldn't it be foolish for them to continue resisting?

Of course, there were also a few die-hard loyalists of the Endless Lord who still risked their lives, willing to be injured themselves, in order to give him a chance to escape.

"Great Chief, you must escape!" A loyal follower used the forbidden Soul Burning Technique to tear open Matt's mental net and sever Achen's mental prison.

Achen and Matt suffered a backlash, both spitting out a mouthful of blood.

This loyal follower, however, was limp and weak. When he revealed his true form, the bright purple seaweed had turned withered and yellow, and it was clear that he was not going to survive.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Endless Lord broke free and escaped the encirclement.

He didn't even glance at his followers who had died for him, and charged forward without looking back.

His actions also chilled the hearts of those few loyal followers who were still fighting for him.

In their minds, the Endless Lord has always been benevolent, kind, and loyal.

But unexpectedly, at the critical moment of life and death, he chose to abandon everyone and escape alone, even forgetting to convey the order to retreat and escape to them.

At this point, all the rebels gave up resistance. A few selfish ones, in order to receive lenient treatment, even voluntarily revealed the names of their subordinates so that the law enforcement team could arrest them.

The high priest ordered the enforcement team to send four purple demons to pursue the Endless Lord.

With the dye as a road sign, he wasn't worried at all that the Endless Lord could escape.

After all, he had already witnessed the effects of this dye, while the Endless Lord probably still held onto a sliver of hope that the dye would fade over time.

In fact, the Endless Lord did have this mindset, which is why he chose the outer sea as his escape route.

Once he breaks out of the Endless Sea, the eighteen Purple Demons he had positioned around the area will be able to meet him and help him escape the sphere of influence of the Great Abyss Sea.

At that time, the sea will be wide enough for fish to leap and the sky high enough for birds to fly. Let's see what the high priest can do to him then.

Seeing that the situation was settled, the High Priest came to Xi'er's side and looked at her with a loving expression:

“Xi’er, you took too much risk this time. You are still too young. In the future, leave such dangerous matters to me.”

"Grandpa Zero, I'm really strong now. Just now when I was fighting them, I withstood the attacks from two Purple Demons at the same time," Xi'er said proudly.

“Master, Ruomeng and I took half of those two attacks for you,” Fusheng coldly revealed her secret.

Xi'er glared at her angrily and said, "Hmph! We're three of us, why are you making such a big deal out of it?"

“That’s right, that’s right. As the master’s contracted beasts, we should share in the master’s combat power,” Ruomeng chimed in.

The high priest smiled with satisfaction; he had already made a momentous decision in his heart.

He originally intended to wait until Xi'er came of age before passing on the position of High Priestess to her, but now he has decided to pass it on ahead of schedule.
