Chapter 41 The Mob
After the Endless Lord rushed into the outer sea, he thought he could escape easily, but he found that the law enforcement team had already laid a trap for him in the outer sea.
In fact, the High Priest had already made preparations after receiving the message that Xi'er had sent back earlier.
The defenses of the outer sea were originally very lax, but now he has deployed two-thirds of the elite enforcement team there to prevent the traitors from escaping.
The high priest did not want to spend countless years in the future constantly on guard against rebels, so he was determined to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
Left with no other choice, the Endless Lord could only send a message to the other eighteen Purple Demons who remained outside the Great Abyss Sea, ordering them to lead their troops to meet him.
However, in order not to attract the attention of the Great Abyss Sea, these rebels who stayed outside to provide support were all located more than a hundred miles away from the Great Abyss Sea, and it would take at least half an hour for them to arrive.
After issuing the order, the Endless Lord dived into the deep sea. Only in this way could he conceal the fluorescence on his body and evade the pursuit of the law enforcement team.

Just as the tournament was about to begin, a small-scale rebellion broke out. Although the rebellion was quelled in time, the incident still caused a sensation.
The people of the Fine Demon Clan living in the Great Abyss Sea are completely devoted to the High Priest and his leadership.
From the day he became high priest, he had been working tirelessly to improve the lives of his people.
In particular, in the past six months, the High Priest invited humans from another world to purify a lot of the waters of the Great Abyss Sea and also reclaimed land on the shore, planting a lot of green plants.
The fact that the water level of the Great Abyss Sea stopped dropping in the past six months gave the people hope.
If this continues, the living environment of the tribe will get better and better.
With ample clean water, the tribespeople's roots no longer rot, their bodies become stronger and stronger, and their cultivation progresses faster and faster.
Good days are just around the corner, and the people are all deeply grateful.
However, some ethnic minorities from remote areas are now taking advantage of the opportunity to participate in the competition to rebel, which is truly despicable!
The rebels immediately became the object of deep hatred and universal condemnation among all the residents of the Great Abyss Sea.
When the high priest issued an arrest warrant, specifically naming the rebel leader as a dyed purple demon, all the tribespeople became alert.
Anyone who discovers traces of the Endless Lord, even if they can't defeat him, will secretly report it immediately.
All the newcomers also became the target of everyone's surveillance, and any slight abnormality would be reported to the law enforcement team.
Those traitors who had disguised themselves as contestants were now gripped by fear.
They huddled in the water area designated for the participants, not daring to make a move, fearing they would be caught by the enforcement team.
They are now waiting for instructions from the Great Leader to decide whether to continue lying low or launch a rebellion.
The real contestants were also very vigilant, constantly watching the movements of the other contestants around them, fearing that there might be traitors among them.
The Endless Lord's original plan was that after the competition started, he would lead four purple demons to suddenly attack the High Priest when he came into close contact with him.
Once the high priest is under control, the plan will be half successful, and the enforcement team will definitely be hesitant to act rashly.
Then he would fire a signal flare as the order to attack. Once the signal flare was launched, all the traitors who had infiltrated the Great Abyss Sea would immediately take action and kill the management personnel in charge of the competition.
Once these die-hard loyalists who obey the high priest are dealt with, no one else will be willing to fight to the death against the rebels for the high priest's sake.
But in the current situation, if he fires a signal flare, it will immediately attract the law enforcement team.
Now that he is seriously injured and has lost the protection of eighteen purple demons, even if the blue and green demons who follow him attack at the same time, they can only help create chaos and cannot help him escape.
Hiding in the deep sea, the endless lord felt the coldness of the water, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom.
He knew he had already lost and had no chance of turning the tide.
Now he can only wait for the eighteen purple demons who were there to meet him to arrive in order to have a chance of survival.

Upon receiving the command from his Mother Star Disc, the eighteen Purple Demons immediately led their troops to the Great Abyss Sea at full speed.
However, as they traveled, doubts began to arise in their hearts.
The original plan was to act when the arena competition started three days later, but now it has been brought forward by three days.
If plans change, something unexpected and significant must have happened.
However, the Great Leader did not mention it at all when issuing the order.
All eighteen purple demons have lived for at least a hundred years, and some have lived for hundreds or even thousands of years.
And those who were able to participate in the rebellion, apart from a very few who were impulsive and mindless, were mostly very shrewd.
After a little thought, they came to a conclusion—this operation must have been exposed beforehand.
In a moment of haste, the Great Chieftain had no choice but to urgently summon them to provide support, hoping to create an opportunity for the rebels trapped in the Great Abyss to escape.
In this situation, anyone who goes to provide support will be taking a huge risk, and might even lose their life in the Great Abyss Sea.
Although when they were preparing to rebel, they had already made preparations for the possibility that some people might be sacrificed.
However, knowing that the plan had already failed, he was still very reluctant to rush to become cannon fodder.
The eighteen subordinates led by the Purple Demon were mostly his trusted confidants whom he had cultivated over a long period of time, and none of them wanted their people to become cannon fodder.
Not to mention that they themselves might become cannon fodder to quell the high priest's anger.
This high priest is a ruthless and decisive person who has fought in countless other worlds and never shows mercy to his enemies.
Having figured this out, the leader of the team, Purple Demon, couldn't help but slow down.
Since rushing there will only make us cannon fodder, why run so fast? It's better to let the other squads run faster while we follow behind and observe the situation.
If victory is in sight, charge forward and reap the rewards together.
In case of a complete rout, arriving later would increase the chances of escape.
Because everyone had this idea, what should have been a half-hour journey turned into more than an hour, and they still hadn't arrived.
A few of the more cunning ones simply stopped their teams on the spot when they were about 20 miles away from the Great Abyss Sea.
He also dispatched his fastest-moving subordinates to gather intelligence.
The first person to find out the news rushed back in a panic to report that the High Priest had issued an arrest warrant for the Endless Lord.
Meanwhile, because a traitor appeared among the participants, the outer sea of Dayuan was completely sealed off, and those who came later to participate were all kept outside the Dayuan Sea and were not allowed to enter at will.
Only after the high priest announced the all-clear and verified their identities to confirm they were not rebels were they allowed to enter the Great Abyss Sea.
The eighteen Purple Demons met on their way to the Great Abyss Sea and decided to gather together to discuss countermeasures.
Some suggested that losses should be cut in time in order to preserve strength.
However, some people felt that they could not betray the Great Leader and abandon him in danger.
Later, one of the Purple Demons suggested, "Why don't we each send a trusted confidant with those two hundred or so sea beasts from the Lost Sea to attack the outer sea defense line of the Great Abyss Sea?"
In any case, these sea beasts were originally intended by the Great Chief to be cannon fodder for the charge; they were thick-skinned and stupid.
If their attack succeeds, the Great Leader and his brothers inside will be able to escape.
Even if they fail, we'll have done our part for the Great Chief. We can't risk all our lives to rescue him, can we?
The proposal was immediately approved by the other seventeen Purple Demon leaders.
In fact, at times like this, everyone has the urge to give up, but no one is too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Now that this decision has been made, everyone feels at ease.
Thus, eighteen trusted Blue Demons were sent out as cannon fodder, leading more than two hundred fifth- to seventh-tier sea beasts, charging menacingly toward the Great Abyss Sea.
