Liu Qiyue had been stationed in Jiang State Capital for ten years, and she rarely took action. As for Meng Chuan, he had been in charge of rescuing people in six different states for ten years. He had been engaging in slaughter all this time, so he was extremely bloodthirsty.
Every time the demon monarchs attacked, a large number of mortals would die.
Meng Chuan had seen too many massacres. He tried his best to rescue the various regions and never slacked off! Wherever Archean Mountain deployed him, he would go without any complaints. He had been stationed in all of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s regions. This was also what Archean Mountain called “defense switch.” By moving Godfiends around, the demons suffered even more losses in the Great Zhou Dynasty. That was why they hated Meng Chuan—who was the fastest Godfiend in the world.
Meng Chuan wasn’t afraid of the demons. He wanted to protect the cities.
“Do a ruthless raid. Arrest and kill those who deserve it,” said Meng Chuan coldly. “As long as there’s sufficient evidence, I believe that no Godfiend from Archean Mountain will make things difficult for me.”
“Alright, I’ll do it then.” Liu Qiyue had been by Meng Chuan’s side for many years. She had killed countless people, and she was similarly bloodthirsty.
“We’ll do a raid every one or two years,” said Meng Chuan. “As long as Archean Mountain doesn’t transfer us away, we’ll do it! I believe that Master will support us.”
Liu Qiyue smiled. “Okay.”
The head of the Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch angrily said, “Who are you? How dare you come to my Yan family and act so impudently?”
A bearded Godfiend led a group of soldiers to charge in. The bearded Godfiend held a token in his hand as he coldly said, “Marchioness Calmmoon ordered us to capture criminals and take Yan Xiu away.”
“Orders from Marchioness Calmmoon?”
The Yan family was stunned.
In Jiang State Capital, Marchioness Calmmoon had the highest authority. Godfiends, armies, and the government office had to obey her orders.
“Take him away,” a tall, skinny Godfiend ordered. The soldiers charged forward.
“I’m Xiao Yu. My grandfather is the Xiao family’s Grand Elder,” shouted a thin man loudly. However, his subordinates did not dare resist the Godfiends. The great Young Master Xiao Yu was also arrested.
“Walk.”
“Arrest them.” Numerous guards were dispatched to arrest people. Arrests were made across the entire Jiang State Capital.
For those with high statuses, they might resist with greater force; therefore, the teams were led by Godfiends. Ordinary soldiers captured those with relatively ordinary statues.
Almost every Godfiend family clan had members arrested. Even Meng Chuan’s Meng family had two juniors arrested.
“Please pass the message. Our Patriarch wishes to meet Clan Leader Meng Dajiang.” At the entrance of Meng Manor, an old steward of the Yan family came forward and politely said, “Our clan leader and Clan Leader Meng are good friends.” “Sorry.” The guard at the entrance of Meng Manor politely said, “The clan leader went into seclusion last night. We were given instructions not to disturb him.”
“Seclusion? When will he exit seclusion?” The old steward’s expression changed slightly. “The clan leader said that it would take at least ten days to a year or so,” explained the Meng Manor guard.
The old steward could only turn around and walk towards the nearby carriage.
“Let’s go back.” In the carriage, the Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch leader had a livid expression.
“Please inform…”
“I’m sorry, our clan leader went into seclusion last night and instructed us not to disturb him.”
“Clan Leader went into seclusion last night.”
All the factions in Jiang State Capital came to seek an audience. They couldn’t meet the two Marquis Godfiends, so they tried to meet the Meng family’s clan leader, Meng Dajiang. However, even Meng Dajiang had announced his seclusion.
“The Meng family is crazy. They don’t even give us face.” “I heard that the Xiao family’s clan leader personally went to pay a visit to Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, but ended up having a bunch of dossiers thrown at him. The Xiao family’s clan leader returned dejectedly. Marquis Eastcalm doesn’t even give the Xiao family any face.”
“The Xiao family has been rooted in Jiang State Capital for thousands of years and has infiltrated many areas. Many members of the Xiao family who were arrested this time are of high status. They are obviously anxious.”
All the major family clans in the city were engaged in a flurry of discussion. Too many people had been arrested.
“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are crazy. Do they really think they can do whatever they want after becoming Marquis Godfiends?” Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch leader was infuriated. “I’ll write to my grandfather now.”
“Meng Chuan and his wife have angered everyone. Just wait. They will suffer.”
“Our lineage has thousands of clansmen in Jiang State Capital, so we naturally have to show our gratitude and authority to each other. Without deterrence, there’s no way we can do anything. It’s inevitable to kill some people. As Godfiends, why would Meng Chuan and his wife interfere with mortal matters?”
Many people only dared to curse secretly while at home.
No matter how great the chaos was outside, Meng Chuan only treated them as insect noises.
As the highest-level Patroller, he had the same status as a Regis Godfiend. Only Supremacies could truly control him.
The fragrance of sandalwood filled a chamber.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged as he condensed an Essence Soul weaponSoul-Vanquishing Spike. After attaining a fourth-level Essence Soul, he needed to imprint more complicated second-level divine patterns on his Soul-Vanquishing Spike. Every night, Meng Chuan spent six hours imprinting complicated second-level divine patterns on top of the original foundation. After three consecutive days, he improved the Soul-Vanquishing Spike’s strength to a new level. Its might was greatly increased.
Soul-Vanquishing Spike’s attacks are very direct. Condensing and imprinting divine patterns is relatively simple. It won’t take too long for me to finish. However, the Soul-Buster Bell will be troublesome to condense. It’ll take about half a month to condense from scratch.
With a fourth-level Essence Soul, Meng Chuan could condense another Essence Soul weapon—the Soul-Buster Bell.
Soul-Vanquishing Spike and Soul-Buster Bell were both extremely powerful Essence Soul weapons. In fact, once one attained a fourth-level Essence Soul, the strength of ordinary Essence Soul mystic techniques would greatly increase.
After attaining a fourth-level Essence Soul, I can begin cultivating the physical body cultivation system’s Undying realm. I can’t afford to waste time. I’ll make a trip to Archean Mountain and exchange for enough Scarlet Blood Divine Pills.
The physical body cultivation system had several realms-Foundation Establishment, Diamond, Divine Power, Undying, Blood Droplet, Sage Becoming, and Mythical. Due to limited resources in the human world, he would peak at the Blood Droplet realm.
Now that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul had reached the fourth level, and having reached the Realm of Dao a long time ago, he could cultivate the Undying realm. Once he mastered it, he would have an Undying body. He could completely suppress Marquis Godfiends with just his physical strength.
Creak.
Meng Chuan left the chamber. Liu Qiyue waited outside as she flipped through dossiers. She had been crazily making arrests the past three days, so she had to read through every dossier carefully.
“Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “I still need to read dossiers for a while. I have to ensure that I didn’t wrong anyone.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I’ll make a trip to Archean Mountain now. I’ll be back in two hours.”
“Alright.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan disappeared from the room. Liu
Qiyue glanced at the night sky through the window before continuing to read the dossiers.
Meng Chuan transformed into a blurry bolt of lightning as he charged towards Archean Mountain at unbelievable speeds. Just 15 minutes later, he arrived at Archean Mountain—which was 5,000 kilometers away from Jiang State Capital. “Meng Chuan, come to me.” Supremacy Qin Wu’s voice sounded in his ears.
Meng Chuan immediately turned around and headed for Grotto-Heaven Pavilion obediently. Within Grotto-heaven Pavilion.
“Master.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully.
The robed-Qin Wu smiled and said, “It’s already late at night. Why did you suddenly come to Archean Mountain?”
“I’m here to exchange for some Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. I also wish to put up a bounty for the baneful aura,” replied Meng Chuan obediently.“Yes.” Qin Wu nodded with a smile. He could tell at a glance that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul had reached the fourth level. This made him rather delighted. “Now that you have attained a fourth-level Essence Soul, you can indeed begin cultivating the physical body cultivation system’s Undying realm. Master it as soon as possible. Your life-preservation abilities will be much stronger.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
“By the way, I heard that you and Liu Qiyue have been raiding and arresting people in Jiang State Capital?” asked Qin Wu with a smile.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I really can’t tolerate it. So many Godfiends have risked their lives to protect the cities. However, these idiots relied on their power and background to do whatever they want.”
“They do deserve being arrested and killed.” Qin Wu nodded and sighed. “I also wish to deter them. In fact, the Imperial Court has its laws, and Archean Mountain has set the rules. However, those who enact the laws are ultimately subordinates. My orders—when passed down the chain of command—will be acted upon differently. Humans ultimately have selfish motives. With selfish motives, these things are inevitable.”
“I understand. There are more than ten million people in Jiang State Capital. The various factions are in cahoots, and the Skydemon Sect is hidden in the shadows. In addition, life is difficult, so it’s naturally difficult to avoid the dark side. Qiyue and I also understand that it’s impossible to wipe them out completely. Therefore, we plan to clean the city once every one or two years, hoping to deter them. We have to let them know that if they commit a crime, they might be investigated in the future. It will make them feel fear,” said Meng Chuan.
“Yes, just do it.” Qin Wu agreed. “By the way, how many Scarlet Blood Divine Pills do you want to exchange for? I’ll help you retrieve them.”
“I need 3,600 Scarlet Blood Divine Pills,” said Meng Chuan.
