Ge Congbin stood there blankly, his heart cold. He was a mortal at the Core Condensation realm. He only had such great authority in Warped Cloud City because the Godfiend family clans descendants had insatiable greed, but were afraid of the laws. This was why he, Ge Congbin, had to do the dirty work, trying to satisfy the Godfiend descendants’ desires. He had done very well over the years, so he had become good friends with many Godfiend family clan descendants, creating a massive network of factions.
He needed his Godfiend family descendant friends to shield him from trouble and create the network of factions. The Godfiend family clan descendants also needed him because he was very good at cleaning up after them.
I’m doomed. I’m finished. Ge Congbin knew very well that many high-ranking members of Warped Cloud City’s government office and Earth Net headquarters came from Godfiend family clans. The Godfiend family clans’ influence in every aspect could be said to be one of the most powerful.
However, he encountered King Eastcalm himself today.
“This young lady will help you investigate this case, so remember to protect this young lady well,” instructed Meng Chuan. “Yes,” replied Tang Fengqi respectfully. King Eastcalm? The female musician looked at Meng Chuan and felt her head spin. She had just met King Eastcalm? According to legends, he killed a million demon monarchs and saved the entire human race? That King Eastcalm?
“Young lady, don’t worry. I’ll definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.” Meng Chuan looked at her and waved his hand. A wooden block—which had shattered from the battle—flew over. When it flew over, it naturally transformed into a small saber. Meng Chuan held the wooden saber and handed it to the female musician assassin. “Take it with you. If anyone harms you, just crush it. It will protect you.”
The female musician received the wooden saber and placed it in her arms. She nodded immediately. “I’ll remember this.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly and said to Yan Chitong, “Let’s go.” Whoosh. Whoosh.
The two fellow disciples had instantly disappeared.
It was already dark as Meng Chuan and Yan Chitong walked beside the river.
“Senior Brother, don’t be angry,” Yan Chitong comforted him.
“I’m not angry.” Meng Chuan looked into the distance. “I’m sad.”
“I know it’s been peaceful for many years. Many large cities are very prosperous and extravagant. I’ve always been vexed. The unstable World Entrances have caused many inhabitants of forts and villages to live arduous lives. More than a million people die every year. Compared to those that live in forts and villages—who live abject lives—these Godfiend family clan descendants that live in large cities are extravagant.
“However, from the looks of it, not only are they extravagant, but they also have twisted desires. When fewer people are killed by the demons, they take on the role. They treat people like livestock, killing them when they don’t obey. Didn’t you hear? That young lady could identify at least 1,000 corpses. How many people have they killed?”
“Senior Brother, there are all kinds of people in this world,” Yan Chitong comforted him.
“Over the past few years, generations of Godfiends have been fighting with all their might. Senior Brother Xue Feng, King True Martial, and many others have died in battle,” said Meng Chuan. “For what? For the sake of victory and peace. However, the peace that Godfiends exchanged for with their lives has ended up being wasted by them!” Meng Chuan looked at Yan Chitong. “I can’t tolerate their behavior.”
“What do you plan on doing?” asked Yan Chitong Meng Chuan looked at the bustling city. “Currently, the Godfiend family clan descendants can do whatever they want. Ordinary people are extremely afraid of them. I think that these Godfiend family clan descendants need to fear something.”
Archean City, Great Zhou Imperial Capital, Jiang State Capital, Wu State Capital, Eastcalm City, Changfeng City, Luo Tang City, Snow Wind City…
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, each large city’s Earth Net headquarters now had an additional ‘Ministry of Supervision.’
The various Ministries of Supervision investigated all the Godfiend family clans in the world. If they committed minor crimes, they could turn a blind eye. However, they didn’t spare any people that committed major crimes.
“Go in.”
“Go in.”
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the various cities and Earth Net headquarters’ cells were almost full.
“Dad, you have to save me. You have to save me.” A young prisoner knelt and hugged his father’s thigh.
“You idiot. The family clan has given strict orders time and time again. However, you fools remain bold and rash,” said the old father angrily. “Can’t you ask me for money? Why did you have to break the law?”
“It’s not just me. There are others,” shouted the young prisoner immediately.
“Everyone will pay for their crimes. No one can escape.” The old father’s back hunched slightly as he sighed. “No one can save you this time. King Eastcalm is standing behind the Ministries of Supervision. No one can stop him.”
“The law can’t punish the masses. There are so many people,” shouted the young prisoner immediately. “It’s all my fault.” The old father looked at his son with tears in his eyes. “It’s my fault for being useless. I didn’t discipline you well when you were young. When you grew up, I knew that you wouldn’t become a Godfiend, but I indulged you too much. I wanted to give you a happy life, but who would’ve thought that I ended up hurting you?” “Dad, Dad,” the young prisoner begged. “Dad can’t help you anymore.” The old father turned and left.
“Dad—”The young prisoner was filled with despair. Only now did he know fear. “I was wrong. I know my faults!”
The young prisoner lived in an ordinary cell. At the bottom level’s prison cells, the security was much tighter.
In one of the heavily-guarded prison cells.
A man sat cross-legged. “Young Master,” said an old servant respectfully outside the cell. “What did my grandfather say?” asked the man indifferently.
“Patriarch said that King Eastcalm is behind the Ministries of Supervision. The various cities’ dossiers are handed to King Eastcalm himself. Nobody can stop this,” said the old servant.
“He has plenty of ways to save me if he wants to.” The man was furious. “Can’t he find a scapegoat?”
“Patriarch has also said that he would remove you from the family tree.” After saying that, the old servant left.
The man’s body trembled as he sat there silently.
After a long while, a noble scion brought his servants and came outside the cell.
“Xu Ming, are you looking for me?” asked the noble scion indifferently.
“Brother Yang Yuan, please save me.” The man knelt and begged. “On account of our past relationship, save me.”
“I can’t save you when my grandfather is personally behind this,” said the noble scion. “Furthermore, I didn’t expect you to do so many evil deeds. It’s really difficult to tell the human heart. The ancients are right.”
The man looked up and said in a deep voice, “Young Master Yang Yuan, we are very close. If I were to dig out the skeletons in your closet, you wouldn’t be able to clear your name.”
“The skeletons in my closet?” The noble scion was astonished.
“As long as you save me and give me a way out, I won’t slander you.” The man stared at the noble scion. “If I’m cornered, don’t blame me for running my mouth.”
“Hahaha, digging out the skeletons in my closet and framing me?” The noble scion laughed. “Xu Ming, your attitude before your death has really disappointed me.”
The noble scion turned around and left.
“Don’t regret it after you leave,” said the man through gritted teeth.
“What’s there to be afraid of when your conscience is clear?” The noble scion turned his head and smiled. “Besides, as you know, my grandfather is King Eastcalm.”
Meng Chuan’s children were Meng An and Meng You.
Meng An remained single. This left Meng Chuan and his wife vexed and helpless.
Meng You got married 20 years ago. Her husband was an Archean Mountain discipleYang Cheng-who shared life-and-death experiences with her. Yang Cheng was also rather outstanding. He was a rather dazzling genius in the past 30 years. He became a Marquis Godfiend before Meng You. The couple only had one son-Yang Yuan.“King Eastcalm?” The man became somewhat crazy. “Old man, you really have nothing better to do. You could have investigated Warped Cloud City only, but you ended up investigating all the cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty. You didn’t even give me a way out. I can’t accept it!”
In an ordinary manor in Snow Wind City.
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were drinking tea together as they watched the snow outside.
“I just wrote two letters. I’m prepared to send them to Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. Help me see if they’re appropriate.” Meng Chuan drank his tea and handed two letters to his wife.
“You want Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven to set up Ministries of Supervision as well?” Liu Qiyue was surprised.
“They can decide what should be done. I only gave them some advice,” said Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan’s reputation was very high now.
In the eyes of the three major sects’ top Godfiends, they believed that Meng Chuan would soon become the strongest in the world! With his prestige in the war, his letters’ contents were something the two other major sects had to consider seriously.
