Chapter 422: 422 Chapter 422: You Shouldn’t Have Deceived This Emperor Shi Xing’an successfully changed his profession, and the human race now had another Earth Knight. The celestial phenomenon during the job change was witnessed by many people. Such phenomena have been recorded in history, and anyone who has attended school would know that this phenomenon only appears when an Earth Knight changes professions. Shi Xing’an’s transformation into an Earth Knight could not be hidden. In fact, there was no intention to hide it. Now that the Demon Worship Society within the country had been mostly eradicated, as long as Shi Xing’an stayed within the borders, he would be relatively safe. Sure enough, as soon as Lin Moyu returned to the academy, he heard people discussing Shi Xing’an. After decades, the human race once again had an Earth Knight. The pinnacle profession for knights, envied by countless people. "I read in a book that about 130 years ago, an Earth Knight led an army and almost broke through the Abyss entrance, nearly entering the Abyss homeland." "Unfortunately, in the end, it was still a bit short. That Earth Knight was only level 91. If he had been a few levels higher, he would have definitely made it." "I also read about that great battle. It was the deepest the human race had ever penetrated into the Abyss." "I hope this Earth Knight, after reaching god-level, can lead an army into the Abyss world." "He definitely can, I believe it." The students were filled with discussions about the Earth Knight. The appearance of an Earth Knight gave them new hope. This is a magical and great profession that has created many glories since its inception. It has also become the most troublesome profession for Abyss demons and the Dragon Tribe. Therefore, in the Ancient Battlefield, whenever the [Cave] dungeon appeared, Abyss demons and the Dragon Tribe would try to prevent the human race from obtaining the Heart of the Earth. This was to prevent the human race from producing another Earth Knight. But now, the human race finally had another Earth Knight. The Abyss demons and the Dragon Tribe’s efforts to stop it had failed. Recently, the eradication of the Demon Worship Society had caused some chaos in the country, and the atmosphere had been low. But the appearance of the Earth Knight was like a shot in the arm for the Divine Summer Empire. Everyone’s attention shifted to the Earth Knight. In contrast, Lin Moyu becoming a two-star general did not receive much attention. Perhaps it was because Lin Moyu’s fame was already too great, reaching its peak. Lin Moyu re-entered the dungeon hall. He was now close to level 49. With a bit of effort, he could reach level 50 in less than two days. Once he mastered new skills at level 50, he would head to the Ancient Battlefield. The agreement with the Righteous God and the deal with the [Ancient Earth Dragon] were waiting for him. He also hadn’t forgotten the grudge with the [Ancient Phoenix]. Along the way, many people greeted Lin Moyu respectfully. His fame was too great, and his status was too high. People forgot that he was a new student who had been enrolled for less than a year. In just one year, he had reached a peak that many people couldn’t achieve in a lifetime. Entering the dungeon, he breathed in the slightly chilly air of the [Beast God Plateau]. Who would have thought that a Demon King had once been buried in this dungeon? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 The undead army cleared the monsters along the way, quickly reaching Plateau No. 3. Lin Moyu looked at the spot where he had fought the Flame Demon King and said softly, "What a pity. If it were outside, I would have erected a tombstone for you. After all, you were a Demon King." The Flame Demon King died in the dungeon, not even deserving a tombstone, which was indeed ironic. In the depths of the Abyss, the Abyss flames had turned dark green, almost black. Here, a huge palace floated. The Abyss flames surrounded it, and the entire palace floated in the flames. The Succubus King, the Black Sky Demon King, the Sword Demon King, the Eight-Armed Demon King, and other mid-level Demon Kings with powerful bloodlines gathered outside the palace. They had been standing there respectfully for many days. No one dared to object, not even the usually playful Succubus King, who now stood solemnly. The Black Sky Demon King, standing next to the Succubus King, whispered, "Do you know why His Majesty summoned us?" The Succubus King replied softly, "It should be related to the recent actions of the human race. It seems that the Demon Worship Society in the Divine Summer Empire has been mostly eradicated." The Black Sky Demon King was slightly surprised, "Wasn’t the Demon Worship Society always under your control?" The Succubus King whispered, "Actually, the Demon Worship Society is backed by His Majesty. I was just the front." The Black Sky Demon King then realized that the Succubus King was not the true leader of the Demon Worship Society. As far as he knew, many strong humans had been subdued by the Ghost Demon King. Under the influence of the Succubus King’s charm, some humans unknowingly became her pawns. Once subdued, there was almost no escape, and they could only become obedient slaves. Among the strong humans subdued by the Succubus King, there were even god-level ones. So he both admired and was wary of the Succubus King. He feared that one day he might fall under her charm. But he never expected that the true leader behind the Demon Worship Society was the Demon Emperor. The palace in the flames finally showed some movement. The dark green flames rose, completely enveloping the palace. In the flames, a giant demon appeared. It had a sharp horn on its head, somewhat resembling a dragon, but completely different. It was gigantic, like a giant. The demon wings on its back were equally huge, spreading over ten meters. Its body was covered in scales, each scale seemingly containing a flame. It sat on the Demon Emperor’s throne, exuding an earth-shattering aura. As soon as it appeared, all the demons bowed and saluted. "Greetings, Your Majesty!" The Demon Emperor’s gaze slowly swept over the Demon Kings. Each Demon King felt as if a sharp sword was grazing their necks, ready to decapitate them. The Demon Emperor’s power was unimaginable to them. Usually, the Demon Emperor stayed in the palace and rarely appeared. Even when there was something, it was just a command passed down. Summoning them all like this was extremely rare. The Demon Emperor’s low voice slowly sounded, "Very good, everyone is here." "Recently, the human race has made some moves. The Demon Worship Society in the Divine Summer Empire has been eradicated. Succubus King, what do you think about this?" The Succubus King was startled and replied with a trembling voice, "This time, Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen acted together. The action was too sudden. I have already ordered a counterattack." The Demon Emperor suddenly laughed, a sound that made the Succubus King shiver. "You ordered all the members of the Demon Worship Society to counterattack, right?" The Succubus King nodded, indeed having given such an order. The Demon Emperor coldly said, "Do you think a counterattack would be effective under the eyes of the 95-level god-level experts of the Divine Summer Empire?" The Succubus King’s mind raced, suddenly realizing something, "I originally didn’t want to counterattack, but the Flame Demon King swore it could kill Lin Moyu and asked for my cooperation." "So I ordered the counterattack to help the Flame Demon King create an opportunity." The Demon Emperor’s laughter grew colder, "Is it the Flame Demon King who is brainless, or do you think I am brainless? Do you believe what you just said?" The Succubus King shivered and knelt in the air, not daring to speak further. At this moment, a terrifying aura descended on the Succubus King. Flames ignited on the Succubus King’s body, and she let out a series of screams. But even in the flames, she didn’t dare to move, suppressing her screams. The Demon Emperor continued, "You gave a foolish order. Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen were waiting for your counterattack to catch you all in one go." "Fish hidden in the mud are hard to catch, but fish jumping out of the water are easy to catch. Foolish!" "I don’t care about the loss of the Demon Worship Society. They were just pawns for my amusement. But you shouldn’t have deceived me." The Succubus King had intended to shift the blame to the Flame Demon King, thinking it was dead and couldn’t testify. But she didn’t expect this. She gritted her teeth in fear, "I dare not do it again. Please forgive me, Your Majesty." With a light hum, the flames on the Succubus King gradually disappeared. The Succubus King panted heavily, feeling a lingering fear. If the flames had lasted a bit longer, she might have been burned to death. As a Demon King, she had no resistance against the Demon Emperor. The Demon Emperor continued, "The Flame Demon King is dead. That fool deserved to die. The human world is not so easy to enter." Hearing that the Flame Demon King was dead, the Demon Kings were slightly surprised. They didn’t expect it to die in the human world. The Succubus King was even more shocked, not expecting the Demon Emperor to know about this. "This time, I summoned you for a few tasks." "First, prepare for war and guard the Abyss entrance. The Dragon Tribe is mobilizing, and a great war is imminent." "Second, a new Earth Knight has appeared in the human race. I sensed that detestable aura. Find him and kill him." "Third, the one who killed the Flame Demon King is named Lin Moyu. Find him and kill him."
