Meng Chuan was very satisfied. This divine power was very weak for frontal combat, but it was most suitable for reconnaissance.
…
After reaching the Divine Power realm, Meng Chuan got used to the changes in his skillset. He needed to decide on his future combat method based on what he was good at. He also needed to learn some combat mystic techniques from the physical body cultivation system manuals.
…
Eastcalm Prefecture, Meng family’s ancestral mansion.
Due to Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue, the Meng family had become the undisputed strongest Godfiend family clan in Eastcalm Prefecture. Meng Dajiang was also trusted by Archean Mountain and was in charge of Earth Net’s Eastcalm Prefecture intelligence network.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two Godfiends silently arrived at the Meng family ancestral mansion and came to a study. One of the Godfiends pushed opened the door and entered.
Inside the study, the fat Meng Dajiang sat as he flipped through a dossier.
“Meng Dajiang!” shouted the leading Godfiend. “Your son, Meng Chuan, fights for humanity and has killed countless demon monarchs. As for you? You actually colluded with the Skydemon Sect! You betrayed us humans!”
“Senior Brother Meng has saved many people. He came to our Eastcalm Prefecture for rescue missions many times. As his father, you actually colluded with the Skydemon Sect?” said the other Godfiend angrily. Meng Chuan was very famous now. Many Godfiends 500 kilometers around Gu Mountain Prefecture had met Meng Chuan and his wife. They were extremely reverent of them.
Meng Dajiang sighed and put down the dossier. “One wrong step and it all goes downhill. I have nothing to say.”
“You have nothing to say? How shameless.” The Godfiend elder ordered, “Take him away.”
Meng Dajiang didn’t resist and allowed himself to be apprehended.
“Will you tell Chuan’er about this?” Meng Dajiang asked softly.
“This matter will naturally be told to Senior Brother Meng.” The young Godfiend beside him said, “Meng Dajiang, by doing this, you are embarrassing Senior Brother Meng!”
“Let’s go.” The two Archean Mountain Godfiends left quietly with Meng Dajiang. They didn’t alert the other members in Meng family’s ancestral mansion.
They had secretly captured him because they didn’t want Meng Chuan embarrassed.
Chapter 221 - Dungeon
Wu State Capital, Xiangshan Garden.
This was the center of Wu State’s Earth Net. A large amount of intelligence would arrive here, and many decisions were made here. Only extremely important intelligence would be reported to Archean Mountain.
“Go in.” In a dungeon in Xiangshan Garden, Meng Dajiang entered with cuffs on his hands and feet. With a clang, he silently walked to the wall and sat down against it.
I’ve finally been exposed. Meng Dajiang lowered his head.
The two Godfiends standing outside the prison shook their heads when they saw this.
“It’s Senior Brother Meng’s father. He actually colluded with the Skydemon Sect!”
“Who would have thought that?”
“If it weren’t because I was investigating other cases and had happened to discover this intelligence, we would really have allowed Meng Dajiang to keep hiding.”
The two Godfiends left immediately. It was impossible for Meng Dajiang to escape Xiangshan Garden’s dungeons with his strength alone.
…
The Godfiends in Xiangshan Garden discussed the case amongst themselves. Xiangshan Garden was the center of Wu State’s Earth Net. After handling many cases, the cases of Godfiends colluding with the Skydemon Sect coming to light wouldn’t have attracted so much attention. However, the person in question was Meng Dajiang, father to Meng Chuan! This attracted the attention of many Godfiends in Wu State’s Xiangshan Garden.
They did not dare to delay the case and interrogated Meng Dajiang that very day.
“Meng Dajiang, I’ll ask. You answer.” A man and woman were in charge of interrogating Meng Dajiang.
“Okay.” Meng Dajiang sat there and calmly answered one question after another.
…
“Marquis.” The female Godfiend in charge of the interrogation found Marquis Gong Xu, who was drinking alone in a restaurant.
“This is the interrogation statement of Meng Chuan’s father, Meng Dajiang.” The female Godfiend handed the dossier over respectfully. “Also, all the evidence we found from our investigations are included.”
Marquis Gong Xu had a square face and he looked solemn and cold.
At that moment, he received the dossier and frowned slightly. “Meng Dajiang had suffered great humiliation because he was a mortal. That’s why he risked his life to become stronger. He even became a Demon Annihilation Guild assassin? He even colluded with the Skydemon Sect? He did everything to enhance his strength?”
“What kind of humiliation did he suffer that made him go to such crazy extents?” asked Marquis Gong Xu.
“He refuses to say it, no matter what we do,” said the female Godfiend.
Marquis Gong Xu frowned.
“Marquis, how should we settle this?” asked the female Godfiend nervously. She was only an Indestructible Godfiend and not an inner sect disciple of Archean Mountain. Now, powerful Godfiends were fighting everywhere. The weak Godfiends were in charge of intelligence. Marquis Gong Xu was mainly in charge of overseeing Wu State. His role in Earth Net was only a secondary appointment.
He left the trivial matters to the Godfiends under him.
“The evidence is irrefutable,” said Marquis Gong Xu indifferently. “Since Meng Dajiang has confessed, we will naturally deal with him as required.”
“Execution?” the female Godfiend asked.
“Executing a Godfiend requires Archean Mountain’s approval,” said Marquis Gong Xu. “Report all the evidence to Archean Mountain. Let Archean Mountain decide.”
“Yes.” The female Godfiend nodded.
…
“Senior Brother Meng, your father, Meng Dajiang, colluded with the Skydemon Sect. The evidence is conclusive. Now, he’s imprisoned in Wu State’s Xiangshan Garden…”
“Senior Brother Meng, the Wu State’s Earth Net has already confirmed your father’s death sentence. They have reported it to Archean Mountain for further approval…”
On this day, five Godfiends in Wu State Capital wrote letters to Meng Chuan. Only ten Godfiends knew of this case intimately, but half of them wrote letters to Meng Chuan. This showed Meng Chuan’s influence.
In the past few years, Meng Chuan had gone on rescue missions that were within 500 kilometers around Gu Mountain Prefecture. He had saved many people in the Wu State and the Qian State. Ever since Meng Chuan killed Greater Demon Monarch Fu Jiao, Archean Mountain frequently assigned him missions. Thus, Meng Chuan often rushed to help Earth Net Godfiends when they encountered trouble.
He had saved many Godfiends! Having saved them repeatedly, along with how he had killed demon monarchs time and time again, these Godfiends were grateful to him and admired him.
Meng Chuan was Wu State’s pride!
Everyone believed that Meng Chuan would definitely become a Marquis Godfiend. He even had a chance of becoming a Regis Godfiend! Due to wanting to repay the favor of them being saved, many Godfiends wrote letters to inform him about Meng Dajiang’s case.
The earlier he knew, the earlier Meng Chuan could respond. If he waited for Archean Mountain’s official notice, it might be a little late.
…
One letter after another was sent to Meng Chuan through Archean Mountain’s internal system! Without having to write an address, Archean Mountain would deliver the letter to the recipient. Furthermore, it was impossible for the Godfiends’ letters to be read.
Gu Mountain Prefecture City.
In a chamber, Meng Chuan was absorbing Quiescence Frost baneful aura. A large calabash laid in front of him. Inside the calabash was the liquefied Quiescence
Frost baneful aura. He had obtained 30 percent of Archean Mountain’s stockpile. This was his final calabash of Quiescence Frost baneful aura.
Absorb. Meng Chuan directed his Quintessential Essence into the calabash and immediately, black-green baneful aura flew out. It flew into Meng Chuan’s mouth as he sucked it in.
His body at the Divine Power realm was too powerful! Compared to Marquis Godfiends in history—that had cultivated the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—his body was much stronger than theirs. His vitality was also monstrous, so it was naturally easier for him to withstand the Quiescence Frost baneful aura. His absorption speed was also several times faster.
Absorb. Every time Meng Chuan absorbed the Quiescence Frost baneful aura, he would fuse it with the baneful aura within him.
Finally, when not much was left in the calabash, Meng Chuan’s baneful aura completely transformed.
I’ve refined Quiescence Frost baneful aura completely?
Meng Chuan revealed a look of delight. With a thought, his black baneful aura surged around his body. The surrounding area began to freeze as temperatures plummeted. Ordinary Great Solar Godfiends and third Firmament demon monarchs would probably be frozen to death and turn into ice sculptures. Even fourth Firmament demon monarchs and Marquis Godfiends would be greatly affected by his baneful aura.
For those like Blackwater Palace Lord, they would probably only have 20 to 30 percent of their strength left after facing his terrifyingly chilling baneful aura.
The Lightning Devastator Fiend Body—a transcendent-grade Godfiend body—combined with many precious baneful auras such as the Quiescence Frost baneful aura, resulted in a very terrifying baneful aura. In fact, only Marquis Godfiends could refine Quiescence Frost baneful aura completely.
I’ve finally mastered it after spending nearly a month. It’s slightly easier than I expected. It’s because of my body. My body is powerful and my vitality is extremely high. I can rapidly restore the damage the baneful aura does on my body. Meng Chuan secretly nodded. I have another powerful technique.
He got up and stuffed the calabash into his storage bag. He put away the cloth bag before happily opening the door to the chamber and walking out.
After mastering a powerful technique, he wanted to share it with his wife.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue read a book outside the chamber as a way to guard him. She smiled and said, “I wonder what happened today. You have a few letters.”
“A few letters?” Meng Chuan was surprised.
Godfiends fought everywhere. It was rare for them to send letters.
Only Yan Jin, Yang Fang, some of his good friends, as well as his father and family, occasionally wrote letters to him.
“They’re all for you. None of them are mine.” Liu Qiyue handed over a stack of letters.
Meng Chuan sat down and opened the first letter out of curiosity. He unfolded the letter and read the contents with a smile.
Chapter 222 - I’m Meng Chuan
The contents of the first letter were like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning Meng Chuan.
After reading the contents of the letter in a daze, he immediately flipped through the second letter, third letter, fourth letter…
“What’s wrong?” Liu Qiyue noticed something amiss with Meng Chuan. “Ah Chuan, what’s wrong with you?”
After reading the five letters, Meng Chuan sat there woodenly.
Liu Qiyue immediately picked up the letters and read them. “How is that possible? Impossible! Th-This…”
D-dad colluded with the Skydemon Sect? Meng Chuan refused to believe it. He carefully recalled his childhood. Dad served in the military for a full ten years. He’s fought with the demons again and again. Mom was killed by the demons. Dad hates the demons to the bone. How can he collude with the Skydemon Sect?
Dad taught me since I was young; that’s why I’m here today. I know he despised demons. It can’t be fake. How can he collude with the Skydemon Sect?
The more Meng Chuan recalled about his father, the more he found it impossible.
But Earth Net has investigated and said that the evidence is irrefutable. Father took the initiative to confess? Meng Chuan pondered. Could there be some secret I don’t know?
“Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue shouted.
Meng Chuan woke up from his thoughts.
Liu Qiyue looked at her husband. Her husband’s eyes were filled with tears as he stood dazedly. Clearly, the agitation from reading the five letters was too great. He lost his mother when he was six years old, and his father had brought him up. Meng Chuan’s relationship with his father was extremely deep. He couldn’t accept the fact that his father had colluded with the Skydemon Sect.
“Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue shouted.
Oh? Meng Chuan finally snapped to his senses. However, he couldn’t help but recall the past.
“There must be something wrong with this,” added Liu Qiyue. “For Father-in-law to be in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture, Archean Mountain must have investigated his background thoroughly. They are very trusting of him. How did this accusation of him colluding with the Skydemon Sect arise?”
Meng Chuan nodded.
“We know Father-in-law’s personality very well. He definitely isn’t someone who will collude with the demons,” said Liu Qiyue. “If he had that kind of personality, he wouldn’t be able to nurture you, Ah Chuan.”
“Where’s Father-in-law?” Meng Chuan asked. “Father-in-law and my father are life-and-death brothers. He definitely knows more.”
“Yes, I’ll get my dad.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
…
Although it was late at night, Liu Yebai was still woken up.
Under the candlelight, Liu Yebai finished reading the five letters. He shook his head and said solemnly, “Impossible! Dajiang will definitely not collude with the Skydemon Sect. I dare make a bet with my life.”
Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“I’m very clear of Dajiang’s whereabouts,” said Liu Yebai solemnly. “He and I were both assassins under the Demon Annihilation Guild. We carried out the Demon Annihilation Guild’s missions to pursue the Skydemon Sect. Usually, we run a restaurant in Eastcalm Prefecture and teach the two of you. He abhors evil and hates demons to the bone… I have fought shoulder to shoulder with him many times. There’s no way I read him wrong.
“Most importantly, it’s impossible for him to collude with the Skydemon Sect for extended periods without being discovered by me,” said Liu Yebai. “I’m also a Godfiend. Furthermore, I’m good at scouting and hiding. Thirty years have passed. I’ve been friends with him for thirty years. We have a life-and-death relationship. How can he hide his collusion from me if he colludes with the Skydemon Sect?
“Eastcalm Prefecture’s Skydemon Sect branch has long been destroyed. Back then, we discovered many dossiers, but we didn’t discover anything related to your father,” added Liu Yebai.
Meng Chuan nodded.
The Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm branch was ultimately destroyed because of him.
“We have been friends for 30 years. How can I be wrong about his temperament?” Liu Yebai firmly believed in him. “There must be a problem! Your dad will definitely not collude with the Skydemon Sect!”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“But the evidence is irrefutable. It’s strange that your father took the initiative to admit it,” Liu Yebai said.
“I’ll find out the truth.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“What are you going to do?” Liu Yebai asked. “Tell me. Qiyue and I will help you think about it too.”
Liu Qiyue added, “This matter has to be done quickly. Wu State has already reported this to Archean Mountain. Once Archean Mountain confirms this, it will be troublesome.”
…
After discussing with his wife and father-in-law, Meng Chuan gradually calmed down.
“Ah Chuan, you have to be careful this time to prevent any conspiracy,” s
aid Liu Qiyue.
“Remember not to go against Archean Mountain!” Liu Yebai exhorted.
“Don’t worry.” Meng Chuan said, “I believe Archean Mountain will not malign my father.”
“What if we were wrong?” Liu Yebai suddenly said.
Meng Chuan was taken aback. The scene of countless people being slaughtered by demon monarchs in recent years surfaced in his mind—countless corpses. He whispered, “If we’re wrong, and my father really colluded with the Skydemon Sect? I have nothing to say.”
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan streaked across the sky as a bolt of lightning, heading towards Wu State Capital.
Liu Qiyue and Liu Yebai watched from afar.
“Don’t worry. With Meng Chuan’s contributions, Archean Mountain will definitely be very cautious,” said Liu Yebai. “By asking Meng Chuan that last question, it clearly shows that he’s not a foolish person.”
“Yes,” said Liu Qiyue. “I only hope that Father-in-law is indeed maligned and we can clear his name. If he really colluded with the Skydemon Sect and got executed, it would be a huge blow to Ah Chuan.”
“Dajiang won’t be a traitor,” Liu Yebai repeated and looked into the distance silently.
…
In the dead of night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Cold moonlight scattered across the ground.
Swoosh.
A figure flew over from the sky. It flickered several times in the sky above Wu State Capital, but it never landed. It traversed more than 50 kilometers.
Ever since he grasped the electromagnetic domain, Meng Chuan could fly! He traveled at full speed from Gu Mountain Prefecture. In the past, he was already fast. After reaching the Divine Power realm, he became even faster in the form of lightning. In a flash, he had already traveled three kilometers.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan landed on a tree crown in Xiangshan Garden. The divine eye at his glabella opened.
Divine power—Divine Eye of Lightning!
