He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

However, his gaze swept over the "corpses" scattered on the ground, and over Lu Chen, who was quietly watching him.

The phantom of Marshal Tianpeng scratched his head, his pig-headed face showing obvious confusion.

In his perception, he did not find the "demonic aura" that he had expected.

Those corpses seemed to have died quite "quickly," not like they were killed by sorcery.

Just then, the illusion array shattered, and in mid-air, ten black-robed figures with a chilling aura, along with the Fire Nether Instructor whose face looked rather grim, were all revealed!

Lu Chen looked up, his eyes sharp as knives, fixed firmly on the eleven people!

"I never imagined that the mastermind behind this was this old bastard...colluding with foreign enemies and scheming against students."

Lu Chen sneered inwardly, and all the doubts were instantly resolved.

No wonder I always felt something was off about this Fire Nether Instructor; no wonder this illusion array appeared so strangely and was so targeted!

"It really was that old geezer! He's obviously no good! He actually colluded with the demonic cultists to try and kill us!"

Hua Xiyu roared angrily in Lu Chen's mind, her tone filled with murderous intent.

The culprit has been identified!

The phantom of Marshal Tianpeng followed Lu Chen's gaze and looked up at the eleven people in mid-air.

His huge nose twitched a few times, as if he were sniffing something.

"Hey! You guys!"

The phantom of Marshal Tianpeng pointed his rake at the man in black robes and Huo Ming, his voice booming as he questioned...

Are you monsters?

Wait... the aura emanating from you guys... it's a bit strange.

This doesn't seem like a proper cultivation path...

He scanned them with his divine sense and clearly sensed that these guys carried a dark and bloody aura, but they weren't demons, which was very strange.

"Old man, I'm curious, why are you targeting me? Is it because my wife injured you before?"

Lu Chen stood in mid-air, his gaze fixed on Huo Ming, and couldn't help but ask.

"Husband, why waste words with him? Just kill him already!!"

Hua Xiyu was furious. She raised her small fist, wishing she could rush out and smash Huo Ming's old face to pieces.

Upon hearing this, Huo Ming instantly recalled the humiliating scene in the Kunlun Academy square where Hua Xiyu had humiliated him in front of many instructors, making him feel like he was being humiliated on the ground!

His fists clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes were fixed on Lu Chen with icy coldness, as if he were about to spit fire.

"Old man, could it be... that I really guessed right?"

Seeing his reaction, Lu Chen understood, and a slight, disdainful smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Look at you, as a professor at the university, how can you be so petty and vindictive?"

He can't beat my wife, so he takes it out on his students. That's a really extreme way of thinking.

Even more outrageous is that they secretly colluded with the Demonic Sect to set up this deadly trap...

"Tsk tsk, they've really disgraced the academy and their professors."

His gaze swept over the ten men in black robes.

The other party's secretive and sinister appearance...

It's obviously not a good thing.

Huo Ming's face alternated between pale and flushed. He suppressed his anger and glanced coldly at the black-robed leader beside him, his eyes seeming to say:

What are you waiting for?

If I don't make a move soon, I'm going to kill this little bastard myself!

Don't blame me for not giving you a chance to "make a contribution" later!

The black-robed leader frowned slightly beneath his mask, displeased with Huo Ming's impatience.

Without further hesitation, he coldly ordered, "Do it!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

……

The nine figures in black robes vanished from their original spot in an instant, as if they had merged into the air!

A sudden sense of alarm arose in Lu Chen's heart, and a strong sense of crisis swept over him!

Without hesitation, he suddenly rose upwards!

The very next second after he left his spot.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Nine jet-black beams of malevolent energy shot out from nine tricky angles, striking the spot where Lu Chen had just been!

"Boom—!!!"

A blinding black light erupted, and a violent energy shockwave exploded in the air, producing a deafening roar!

Smoke billowing!

However, the anticipated scene of the land sinking and being severely damaged did not occur.

Because that violent combined attack of nine attacks was actually firmly blocked by a golden light shield!

The energy dissipated, revealing the scene inside.

"Hey! I haven't even finished asking around!"

Marshal Tianpeng's enormous phantom stood in front of him, and with a casual wave of his hand, he maintained the golden protective shield.

With his other hand, he lazily picked at the huge pig's ear, and complained in a muffled voice,

"Are you guys hiding your heads and tails or demons?"

Why did you resort to violence without warning?

"Aren't you really taking me, Old Pig, too lightly?"

"What?!"

"Our combined attack was blocked so easily?!"

The pupils of the nine men in black robes shrank, their faces filled with shock.

Although the nine of them joined forces and did not use their full strength, the power of their attack was enough to instantly kill an ordinary level 100 expert!

But this seemingly simple-minded pig-headed phantom in front of me simply raised its hand and effortlessly caught it?!

"This divine general... his strength is unfathomable!"

A glint flashed in Huo Ming's eyes. His mind raced, and he immediately shouted loudly at the illusory image of Marshal Tianpeng:

"My lord! The demon you are looking for is Lu Chen, who is mentioned above!"

He had long since fallen into the demonic path and become a lackey of demons!

Not only did they cruelly murder all of your summoner's companions, but their hands are also stained with the blood of countless humans!

His crimes are heinous, he deserves to die!

Huo Ming's words were purely a tentative attempt to muddy the waters.

Let this seemingly "not very smart" but powerful general deal with Lu Chen.

Unexpectedly, the huge ring eyes of the illusory figure of Marshal Tianpeng blinked, and he actually listened!

His massive head turned towards Lu Chen, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes.

As a former heavenly general, he hated nothing more than those who betrayed the human race and sided with demons!

"Whoosh—!"

With a flash of golden light, Marshal Tianpeng's enormous phantom instantly appeared above Lu Chen, looking down at him from above.

The enormous nine-toothed rake gleamed with a terrifying cold light, and its overwhelming divine power pressed down on Lu Chen.

He demanded in a gruff voice:

"Boy! I, Old Pig, will give you a chance to explain! Are you a lackey of the demons or not?"

If you dare utter even the slightest lie, my rake won't be a joke!

The golden light on the rake flickered erratically, as if it were about to strike with tremendous force at any moment.
