“A large number of demon monarchs?” Meng Chuan was alarmed.
Qin Wu nodded. “According to our investigations, ten percent of the Demon Realm’s third Firmament demon monarchs will enter the human world.”
“Ten percent?!” Meng Chuan was alarmed.
Since his father’s innocence had been proven, he could only leave the matters with Black Sand Grotto-Heaven aside. Demons took top priority.
“The intelligence can’t be wrong,” said Qin Wu. “You and your wife need to be prepared at all times. The two of you are in charge of nearly an entire state.”
“Don’t worry, Master. I will do my best,” said Meng Chuan.
“Okay, bring your father back,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
Meng Dajiang—who was sitting there—snapped to his senses. When he saw Qin Wu, he immediately knelt and gratefully said, “Thank you for saving me, Supremacy.”
Now that he had regained his memories, he understood everything. Saying that he colluded with the Skydemon Sect was worse than killing him.
“You have to thank your son,” said Qin Wu.
An ordinary Indestructible Godfiend case wasn’t qualified to be investigated by Supremacy Qin Wu—who controlled the entire Archean Mountain—personally. After all, Qin Wu was a busy man. He nurtured disciples, handled important matters, and cultivated… It ate up a lot of his time. In fact, normal cases wouldn’t involve experts like Chunyu Mu.
“Master, I’ll be leaving the mountain,” said Meng Chuan gratefully.
“Go ahead.” Qin Wu nodded.
Meng Chuan immediately left with his father, Meng Dajiang.
As for Qin Wu, with a wave of his hand, a brush, paper, and an inkstone appeared on the table. He began writing and sent the finished letter to Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.
Chapter 227 - Bai Yaoyue’s Rage
Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s headquarters was situated in a grotto-heaven world—mortals would never find the entrance from the outside world.
This grotto-heaven spanned 2,500 kilometers.
In a towering hall, Black Sand Grotto Lord sat cross-legged behind a table as he flipped through dossiers. The white-haired Chunyu Mu obediently waited by the side.
“Do you know what you did wrong?” Black Sand Grotto Lord raised his head to glance at Chunyu Mu.
“Master, I don’t know.” Chunyu Mu raised his head.
Black Sand Grotto Lord grunted coldly. “You were the one who attacked the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Meng Dajiang from Eastcalm Prefecture, right? You framed him so that it looked like he colluded with the Skydemon Sect?”
“Grotto Lord, I don’t know Meng Dajiang at all,” said Chunyu Mu immediately. He had a kind expression, and he spoke very sincerely.
Sigh.
Black Sand Grotto Lord looked at Chunyu Mu and couldn’t help but shake his head. “To be honest, Archean Mountain’s Creation Supremacy personally wrote a letter. He said that he found out that you were the one who framed Meng Dajiang.”
“No, definitely not,” said Chunyu Mu as he shook his head. “Archean Mountain must have made a mistake.”
“You think a Creation Supremacy is framing you?” Black Sand Grotto Lord looked at him.
“They must have made a mistake,” said Chunyu Mu. “I didn’t do it. If they think otherwise, please get them to show the evidence. If they do, I’ll accept the punishment accordingly. If they don’t have evidence, I find it ridiculous that they are just blindly accusing me. I will not accept such an accusation.”
Black Sand Grotto Lord looked at him.
Chunyu Mu was very calm. He was already 178 years old. In addition, he had used forbidden Godfiend spells many times throughout the years. He only had about ten years left. With the present situation in the world, he probably wouldn’t be able to live for more than ten years if he frequently fought demons.
Being close to death, he didn’t have much baggage. He would not admit to his actions! As a Mirage Fiend who had reached the Realm of Dao, he did things very cleanly. It was impossible for the other party to produce any evidence.
“Alright. I will report to the Supremacy about the letter from Archean Mountain Lord’s Creation Supremacy.” Black Sand Grotto Lord stood up. “Follow me.”
“Yes.” Chunyu Mu obediently followed.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
After leaving the hall, Black Sand Grotto Lord flew up with Chunyu Mu. After flying for hundreds of kilometers, they arrived at the peak of a tall mountain. Countless clouds swirled around the mountain peak and many buildings on it.
A white-robed woman cultivated as she sat cross-legged on the highest platform of a nine-story building. A gigantic crescent phantom appeared behind her. The silver crescent emitted a cold moonlight that scattered everywhere.
Grand Yin Suspended Moon? Chunyu Mu was secretly alarmed when he saw this scene from afar.
The five Grand Yin Holy Maidens were Marquis Godfiends. The Grand Yin Suspended Moon phenomena they produced were only about ten feet wide. But, the gigantic crescent moon in front of Chunyu Mu sent chills down his spine.
It’s Supremacy Bai Yaoyue. Chunyu Mu realized who had produced the phenomenon. He knew that Supremacy Bai Yaoyue had been Grand Yin Holy Hall Master when she was a Regis Godfiend. After she became a Creation Supremacy, she naturally resigned from her position as Grand Yin Holy Hall Master.
Black Sand Grotto Lord flew up the nine-story building with Chunyu Mu, but they waited silently at the edge.
Bai Yaoyue finally stopped her cultivation. The phenomenon in the air vanished, and she opened her eyes to look at the two of them.
“What’s the matter?” asked Bai Yaoyue coldly.
“Supremacy, it’s a letter from Archean Mountain’s Supremacy Qin Wu.” Black Sand Grotto Lord respectfully handed the letter to Bai Yaoyue. “I’ve also asked Chunyu Mu, but he refuses to admit that he framed Meng Dajiang.”
“Qin Wu?” Bai Yaoyue took the letter and read it. She sneered. “A deduction after prying into heavenly secrets? This Qin Wu is becoming more and more ridiculous. Without sufficient evidence, he wants to touch a Godfiend of my Black Sand Grotto-Heaven? He can dream on.”
“Yes, that’s what I thought as well,” said Black Sand Grotto Lord.
“Ignore them.” Bai Yaoyue said calmly, “You can leave first. Chunyu Mu, stay behind.”
“Yes.” Black Sand Grotto Lord obediently departed.
Only then did Bai Yaoyue’s gaze land on Chunyu Mu. Chunyu Mu specialized in illusions, so he placed great importance on his mental cultivation! His willpower was also extremely strong. He was able to face Black Sand Grotto Lord without panicking, but when Supremacy Bai Yaoyue’s gaze landed on him, he felt as though he was in a freezing-cold snow plain. The bone-chilling cold entered his body and drilled into his Essence Soul.
His Essence Soul was trembling.
So cold!
He felt like a mortal—wearing a single shirt—standing in a cold river during winter. It was so cold that even Chunyu Mu’s Essence Soul could not withstand it.
“Speak, who instigated you to carry out the attack?” Bai Yaoyue asked.
“I really didn’t do it.” Chunyu Mu gritted his teeth.
There was a look of appreciation in Bai Yaoyue’s eyes. However, the invisible force became even more terrifying as it seeped into Chunyu Mu’s Essence Soul. She calmly said, “Let me ask you one last time. Who ordered you to do this? If you don’t answer, die.”
Chunyu Mu shuddered. He had a feeling that if he didn’t admit it, Supremacy Bai Yaoyue would really kill him.
“I-it was Marquis Martial Yang,” said Chunyu Mu finally. “He knows about Meng Dajiang and Aunt-Master Bai. In his jealousy, he asked me to teach Meng Dajiang a lesson. He also had me give him a chance of survival. He didn’t let me kill him directly.”
“For the sake of love?” Bai Yaoyue sneered. “Send a message to Marquis Martial Yang. Tell him to patrol the various prefectures and counties in Tang State six times a day from today on
wards! This lasts for three years. He must not skip a single day!”
“Yes,” replied Chunyu Mu respectfully.
Most Marquis Godfiends had a limit to their speed. It would take Marquis Godfiend two hours to travel to every prefecture and county in a state if everything went smoothly. Six times? Marquis Martial Yang would probably spend half a day patrolling Tang State every day.
In the past, he awaited mobilization orders. Now, he was patrolling six times a day! It was indeed much more tiring.
“As for you, I’ll change your Godfiend team. It’ll be harder for you in the next few years,” Bai Yaoyue said calmly. “Alright, you may leave.”
“Yes.” Chunyu Mu let out a sigh of relief and quickly left.
Soon, the surroundings returned to normal. Bai Yaoyue remained seated in the lotus position.
Useless bums. Marquis Martial Yang, if you had killed him directly, I would still be impressed by your guts. Bai Yaoyue scoffed as a cold glint flashed in her eyes. Meng Dajiang? Meng Dajiang? An ant-like thing that’s a scourge on Nianyun. Damn it! If I hadn’t promised Nianyun, Meng Dajiang and the entire Meng family would have been wiped out a long time ago.
Nianyun is the most outstanding descendant of my Bai family in all these years. Back then, she became a Great Solar Godfiend at such a young age. Yet, she lost her virginity because of a mortal. After losing her virginity, her cultivation efficiency with the Grand Yin cultivation system is greatly reduced.
Even so, Nianyun still became a Marquis Godfiend before she turned 60 years old. If she were still a virgin, she would’ve probably become a Marquis before she was 40. She would even have a chance of becoming a Regis Godfiend and control Grand Yin Holy Hall. Then, she would have a chance to become a Supremacy in the future. Bai Yaoyue’s eyes were filled with anger. If not for that ant-like Meng Dajiang, my Black Sand Grotto-Heaven might’ve had another Supremacy.
Nianyun’s chances of becoming a Regis Godfiend are slim. Even if she succeeds, she will be very old. Bai Yaoyue shook her head. Her chance of becoming a Supremacy was destroyed just like that.
Foolish. Bai Yaoyue became more furious the more she thought about it.
How many years had it been since the Bai family had produced such a promising seedling? A mortal had tarnished a genius Grand Yin Holy Maiden at the Great Solar realm. Bai Yaoyue was so angry that she nearly vomited blood back then!
Even after losing her virginity, Bai Nianyun still became a Marquis Godfiend before she turned 60 years old. This made Bai Yaoyue even angrier!
To achieve so much even after losing her virginity, just how impressive would Bai Nianyun be if she had stayed a virgin? She would definitely be much stronger than the other four Grand Yin Holy Maidens.
Meng Dajiang? You’re really lucky to have escaped this calamity. Bai Yaoyue closed her eyes and couldn’t be bothered to think about the matter further. She was an extremely proud person. She had promised Bai Nianyun that she wouldn’t attack the Meng family.
As the youngest Supremacy in the world—whose strength ranked in the top three—Bai Yaoyue was extremely proud to the core. She spent most of her time cultivating, hoping to reach the legendary Grand Yin Imperial Lord realm. With such strength, she could win the war single-handedly.
For a trivial character like Meng Dajiang, although she was angry, she didn’t care too much about him.
Would humans care much about ants?
Chapter 228 - A Target In This Life
Gu Mountain Prefecture City.
Inside the manor, the fat Meng Dajiang was playing with his grandson and granddaughter.
“Grandpa, hug.”
“Grandpa, hug me, hug me.”
The two children argued. Meng Dajiang carried one child in each hand and teased them.
By the side, Liu Yebai was lying flat on a reclining chair. He was very relaxed. “It’s so much easier for me now that you are here. These two little fellows are really a handful. They make a scene day and night. Yet, I won’t be at ease if I let the servants serve them.”
“Alright, alright, leave it to me in the future.” Meng Dajiang didn’t feel tired at all. He carefully teased the two children. “Little Youyou, come, kiss Grandpa.”
The elder sister, Meng You, immediately smiled and kissed him hard. Her younger brother immediately kissed Meng Dajiang and glared at his sister.
“Haha…” Meng Dajiang laughed especially happily.
Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue saw everything through the window.
“Originally, everything was going well, but he was suddenly framed. I’m still worried about my father,” said Meng Chuan. “From the looks of it, he’s in a good mood.”
“Ah Chuan,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “You’re underestimating Father-in-law too much. When he was young, he served in the military for ten years. He fought many life-and-death battles. He joined the Demon Annihilation Guild for so many years and has been in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture for the past few years. He has seen countless tragic events. Compared to those, the accusation this time was a trivial matter. Of course, he wouldn’t be too affected by it.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “I’m relieved that Dad is in a good mood.”
“What are your thoughts about Mother-in-law?” Liu Qiyue suddenly asked.
“My mother?” Meng Chuan looked to the northwest. Wu State’s Gu Mountain Prefecture was located in the Great Zhou Dynasty’s southeast region. Black Sand Dynasty was west of the Great Zhou Dynasty. “I never expected my mother to be a Grand Yin Holy Maiden of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven,” said Meng Chuan. “She’s now a Marquis Godfiend, but our family can’t reunite.”
“Is there really no other way?” asked Liu Qiyue. “When we were eating last night, I could sense that Father-in-law really wants a family reunion.”
“Grand Yin Holy Maidens are not allowed to marry and have to maintain their virginity unless they become Grand Yin Holy Hall Master or are stripped of their status as Grand Yin Holy Maiden. This is a public rule of Grand Yin Holy Hall,” said Meng Chuan. “Since my mother’s matter is still a secret to the public, Grand Yin Holy Hall can feign ignorance. However, once my mom wishes to reunite with my dad, the secret of my mother’s early marriage cannot be kept a secret, especially when I—her son—am already in my thirties. According to Grand Yin Holy Hall’s rules, my mom must be punished…”
“Also, the person behind everything is Supremacy Bai Yaoyue.” Meng Chuan said, “If Supremacy Bai Yaoyue doesn’t agree, my mother won’t dare to leave Black Sand Dynasty.”
“Supremacy Bai Yaoyue? How is this Supremacy’s personality?” Liu Qiyue asked.
“I only heard that she’s cold and stern. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Godfiends fear her,” said Meng Chuan.
“Cold and stern?” Liu Qiyue frowned.
Meng Chuan softly said, “My father was framed this time. Although I’m angry, I haven’t found out who the mastermind is yet. However, I’m very happy. Firstly, my father is safe and sound. Secondly, I now know that my mother is still alive.”
Liu Qiyue hugged Meng Chuan’s arm and gently leaned against him.
“I’m really happy that my mom is alive.” Meng Chuan’s eyes turned slightly red. “I have another goal in my life—to reunite my family so that my parents can be together without obstruction.”
“You can definitely do it,” said Liu Qiyue.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.
Suddenly—
A bamboo tube flew over from outside. Meng Chuan raised his head and waved his hand. The bamboo tube landed in his palm. The avian demon monarch only flew away when it saw Meng Chuan receive the letter.
Meng Chuan pulled out a letter from the bamboo tube.
“Who sent the letter?” asked Liu Qiyue.
“It’s from Wu State’s Xiangshan Garden.” Meng Chuan looked at the letter and said, “It’s requesting my father to return to Eastcalm Prefecture City as soon as possible to hand over all Earth Net matter
s completely.”
“Didn’t Father-in-law resign from his Earth Net position? Could it be that the people in charge didn’t manage to hand over matters completely?” Liu Qiyue was puzzled.
Meng Chuan smiled. “I’ll personally send my dad back.”
…
That afternoon, Meng Chuan brought his father, Meng Dajiang, back to Eastcalm Prefecture City.
“These are the intelligence dossiers I left in my residence.” Meng Dajiang pushed out a cart of dossiers and handed them over. “I collected them deliberately. Logically speaking, my subordinates should have a copy of the dossiers. There is more than one copy of every dossier.”
“I’ve just taken over. I’m familiarizing myself with many matters. I need two sets of information to compare.” The thin middle-aged man smiled.
Meng Dajiang nodded.
Meng Chuan said in surprise, “A Great Solar Godfiend is now managing a prefecture’s Earth Net?”
“Senior Brother Meng, you might not know.” The thin middle-aged man was much more humble and respectful when speaking to Meng Chuan. “The Godfiend teams that guarded the various prefectures have all been disbanded.”
“Disbanded?” Meng Chuan was surprised. He really didn’t know of such events.
“All outer sect Great Solar Godfiends will enter Earth Net,” said the thin middle-aged man. “I’m also one of them. We are no longer in charge of fighting. Instead, we only deal with intelligence and investigation.”
Meng Chuan frowned slightly.
The number of Great Solar Godfiends in the Great Zhou Dynasty numbered about 2000. However, all the outer sect Great Solar Godfiends had joined Earth Net? There would be far fewer Great Solar Godfiends fighting the demons now.
“Weak inner sect Great Solar Godfiends don’t have to participate in battles either,” said the thin middle-aged man. “Only the captain of my former team was transferred to a new team.”
