Chapter 48: Everything in the World (Final Chapter of Volume)

“If he had escaped, I would’ve needed to bring you to Archean Mountain immediately,” said Fairy Meng with a smile .

“It’s all thanks to you, Grandaunt . Otherwise, I’d really be in big trouble this time,” said Meng Chuan gratefully .

By the side, Murong You—who was tied up like a dumpling—stared at Meng Chuan and said in a deep voice, “Young Master Meng, I’m truly impressed . You actually acted like a Mortal Shedding realm expert who had only grasped the secret technique despite having this much strength . You sure hid the secret well . We lost fair and square . We did the calculations, including Fairy Meng’s reconnaissance skills and Palace Lord Jadesun’s domain . As long as we had a minute, these Godfiends wouldn’t be able to find us . However, I never expected my brothers to die at your hands . Even I was held back by you for so long!”

He had been obstructed for too long . This allowed Fairy Meng to capture him . As long as he had a little more time, he would’ve hidden in an underground tunnel, making it difficult for him to be found .

Dirt and rock were huge obstacles to any sensory means . The river was also very good at obstructing sensory techniques . As soon as Murong You jumped into the canal, Meng Chuan was quickly unable to sense him . If he had five more seconds, even Fairy Meng wouldn’t be able to find him .

“You better shut up . ” Fairy Meng glanced at him as invisible threads stabbed into Murong You’s body . Murong You could no longer make any sound . His sense of hearing and vision was gone .

“He can’t hear or see anything now,” whispered Fairy Meng . “When you spar with your father and I… your strength is only close to your father and company . However, I realized you were several times stronger when you had unleashed your full strength earlier . You were even able to suppress Murong You . Even the two Skydemon Sect vice branch masters died by your hands . Is it because of your glabella space?”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded . “It’s just that I’m only capable of unleashing a few strikes . I killed the two vice branch masters with the first two moves, and the last three strikes could only heavily injure Murong You . I was unable to kill him . ”

“To be able to raise your strength this much”—Fairy Meng frowned slightly—”is something unheard of . Remember, this matter has to be kept a secret . Even when you take part in Archean Mountain’s assessment, there’s no need to expose the glabella space as long as you have the confidence to pass . After you enter Archean Mountain, read through Archean Mountain’s manuals and figure out what it represents . By then, you can decide if you want to announce its existence . ”

“After all, such a mysterious space might be a good thing . It might also involve some secrets,” said Fairy Meng .

“Understood . ” Meng Chuan nodded .

“When do you think you can reach the Seamless realm?” inquired Fairy Meng .

“My Godfiend foundation is extremely deep and robust . I will stay in the Mortal Shedding realm for slightly longer . I estimate that I will reach the Seamless realm by the end of the year or early next year,” said Meng Chuan .

“It’s good to have a longer growth period . ” Fairy Meng nodded . “Even if you reach the Seamless realm by the end of the year, you have to consolidate your foundation . It’s best if you can condense your core! You can then participate in Archean Mountain’s assessment at the end of next year . It’ll be appropriate for you to participate in the assessment at the age of 18 . Even if you fail, you can participate again when you are 19 or 20 . ”

According to Fairy Meng’s plan, he had a total of three chances .

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded .

“No one discovered this exchange, right?” inquired Fairy Meng .

“It’s late at night, and the Skydemon Sect’s chosen assassination location was rather remote . There were no experts watching . ”

“Alright, you can go back first . Don’t tell anyone about today’s matter,” said Fairy Meng . “Just blame their deaths on me . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan felt quite relaxed because of this . Fairy Meng wasn’t greedy . As an existence who had been a Godfiend for nearly 80 years, she didn’t care about the credit . She was doing her best to protect Meng Chuan .

…

The battle on the 6th of February took place silently .

Meng Chuan returned to Mirror Lake Meng Manor .

“Ah Chuan, didn’t you go to the ancestral mansion? You came back rather quickly . ” Liu Qiyue had just returned when she realized that Meng Chuan was right behind her .

“I ran at full speed, so of course I was fast,” said Meng Chuan with a smile .

Liu Qiyue didn’t realize that during the time they had been apart, a secret battle—that had a substantial, long-lasting effect on Eastcalm Prefecture—had occurred .

…

At the Meng family ancestral mansion, inside a torture chamber .

“I’ll tell you everything if you swear that I can leave this place alive!” Murong You—who was chained up—shouted . His body trembled .

Fairy Meng stood there and said indifferently, “Don’t dream about living . Since I caught you, you will die without a doubt . However, if you tell me where the Skydemon Sect Eastcalm Branch Hall is, I’ll let you die quickly . Otherwise, we would be talking about not twenty days, but years! You won’t even be able to die despite wishing so . You have to endure torture day and night, forever stuck in hell, never to receive liberation . ”

Fairy Meng had experience torturing these dregs from the Skydemon Sect .

“Eastcalm Branch Hall . No, no…” Murong You wasn’t willing to bow his head so easily . “Let me leave Eastcalm Prefecture alive . Otherwise, don’t even think about knowing anything . ”

“Let’s take our time . ” Fairy Meng held onto her walking stick as invisible threads entered Murong You’s body . Murong You immediately let out a tragic cry .

In the midst of the pain, time seemed to pass a thousand times slower . Murong You experienced endless torment with no end in sight .

“Let me leave this place alive . ” The desire to live allowed Murong You to persist, but Fairy Meng stood there expressionlessly . Threads drilled into Murong You’s body and tortured him .

Two hours, four hours, six hours…

It felt like a very long time had passed for Murong You . He had been tortured to the brink of madness . He wanted liberation . He wanted to escape from this abyss of suffering .

“I’ll speak . ” Murong You finally gave up .

Before the sun had even risen, Murong You had given her everything she wanted . And then, he got what he wanted—total release!

Fairy Meng walked out of the torture chamber .

Soon, Fairy Meng led nine Elders, as well as 120 Mortal Shedding realm members from the Meng family that were split into seven teams . They carried out several operations simultaneously .

They removed the headquarters and six important outposts of the Eastcalm branch . The six outposts were pawn shops, a large merchant’s residence, an escort company, et cetera . They were wiped out in two hours by the Meng family .

…

The next afternoon .

Fairy Meng once again temporarily moved to Mirror Lake Meng Manor .

“Grandaunt, these books?” Meng Chuan looked at the box of books in the courtyard . There were also paintings and other items .

“I interrogated Murong You overnight and learned of the Eastcalm branch lairs,” said Fairy Meng . “The other subordinates from the Eastcalm branch weren’t even aware their three leaders were dead . They were caught off-guard, and our Meng family managed to raid them all within two hours . The Eastcalm branch was wiped out . Only one Mortal Shedding realm expert escaped . ”

“From this day forth, the Skydemon Sect will become blind in Eastcalm Prefecture . They will not be able to infiltrate Eastcalm Prefecture and establish a complete intelligence network for the next few years . ” Fairy Meng smiled . “Meng Chuan, you have done a great deed for Eastcalm Prefecture’s citizens . ”

Meng Chuan also smiled, feeling very happy .

Without the Skydemon Sect to stir up trouble behind their backs, Eastcalm Prefecture would be much safer . However, he also knew that with time, the Skydemon Sect would gradually infiltrate Eastcalm Prefecture again .

“These books were found in the Eastcalm Branch’s lairs . They are suitable for you to read,” said Fairy Meng . “Read them and see if you can broaden your horizons . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded . Meng Chuan began flipping through the books .

These books mainly described the world’s secrets . The Skydemon Sect was responsible for investigating all kinds of information concerning humans . Many of the books contained knowledge he had never seen before .

The world is split into three . The humans have three great dynasties—the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Black Sand Dynasty, and the Great Yue Dynasty . The Great Zhou Dynasty was established by the oldest sect in the world, Archean Mountain . The Black Sand Dynasty was established by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven . The Great Yue Dynasty was established by Two World Island . Meng Chuan nodded slightly . As for Archean Mountain, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, Two World Island… They are the three supreme sects of the human race .

The three great sects have powerful Godfiends in them . Together, they fend off the demons’ invasion . The demons are really strong .

Meng Chuan read the intelligence records . The demons were more powerful than humans .

The three human sects had been trying their best to defend against them . They were completely on the defensive! Godfiends presided over the various large cities . For instance, famous Godfiends like King Calm Sea presided over important city gates and protected the entire human race .

However, the three sects had not completely lost any territory over the years . Even if they were temporarily occupied by the demons, they would quickly be reoccupied .

These dregs from the Skydemon Sect . The more he read, the angrier he became .

Some people thought there was no hope for humans . Some who wanted the benefits the demons could bring them . In short, they formed a sect—the Skydemon Sect—that had infiltrated the human race . The Skydemon Sect lurked everywhere, providing information on the humans to the demons . They earned immense hatred from humans . This time, the Skydemon Sect branch Meng Chuan had wiped out was but a grain of sand in the grand scheme .

I’m still a mortal . What I can do is still minuscule . I need to become stronger .

…

The destruction of the Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm branch happened in silence . It was only known by Eastcalm Prefecture’s higher echelons . As for the three Eastcalm Branch leaders’ deaths, the Imperial Court recorded Fairy Meng to be the one responsible .

The days of Eastcalm Prefecture grew increasingly peaceful and serene .

On the 25th of March, the Jadesun Palace announced that Yan Jin had comprehended Sword Force . Once the news spread, it immediately shook all five Godfiend family clans in the Eastcalm Prefecture . After all, he had comprehended Force at the age of seventeen . He was indeed extremely dazzling, a genius that was comparable to Patriarch Zhang .

Three days later, the Meng family announced that Meng Chuan had comprehended Saber Force . When Yun Fu’an of the Yun family learned of the news, he smashed all his favorite porcelain in his study . The Meng family’s status also rose among the five Godfiend family clans . None of the other four Godfiend family clans dared to underestimate them any further . After all, it was almost certain he would be recruited by Archean Mountain after comprehending Force at 17-years-old . Meng Chuan’s promising future was obvious .
