Chapter 131: Heroes On All Fronts

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue both obtained many divine armaments’ acknowledgment . They each obtained a Heaven-level divine armament . The news about the two clearing the Nine Mystic Caves and were about to leave the mountain spread among Archean Mountain disciples quickly .

On 21st October, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue invited many fellow disciples to a banquet .

“Please accept my toast . ” Yan Jin—who was sitting alone at the banquet—pulled Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue over for drinks .

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue accompanied him .

“When I was fifteen, I went to Eastcalm Prefecture and met the two of you . In the blink of an eye, over ten years have passed . ” Yan Jin drank from a large bowl before filling it up again . He looked at Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue seriously . “I, Yan Jin, have very few friends in my life! Both of you are my friends . ”

Meng Chuan smiled as Liu Qiyue listened silently .

Meng Chuan and Yan Jin had a better relationship . Although their relationship wasn’t as close, they had experienced a life-and-death battle together . They were Yan Jin’s only friends on the mountain .

“After you leave the mountain, it will be a bloody storm . There will be life-and-death battles . ” Yan Jin’s eyes were slightly moist as he looked at Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue solemnly . “I hope both of you will remain alive! I hope that one day, the three of us can appear on the same battlefield together . ”

“Alright,” said Meng Chuan with a smile . “When the time comes, the three of us will fight alongside each other again . ”

“Let’s fight alongside each other,” Liu Qiyue said in anticipation .

That year at Eastcalm Prefecture’s Idle Stone Garden, they had fought alongside each other .

“Hahaha…” Yan Jin laughed . “That day will definitely come . Come, bottoms up . ”

At least at this moment, Yan Jin was happy . He didn’t have many friends, but that made him cherish the few friends he had all the more .

“Bottoms up . ” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue accompanied him .

…

In the afternoon, the Godfiend disciples had already dispersed . The servants in the cave abode were clearing the cutlery .

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue stood at the cave abode entrance, watching the snow path that had been covered in footprints .

“Senior Brother Qian Yu didn’t come?” Meng Chuan asked .

“Yes . ” Liu Qiyue nodded . “He didn’t come . I went to invite him personally, but I didn’t manage to see him . ”

“Let’s go visit him,” said Meng Chuan . “Who knows when we will see him again after we leave . ”

“Okay . ” Liu Qiyue nodded .

The duo walked across the snow and arrived at Qian Yu’s cave abode . Stewards were managing Qian Yu’s cave abode entrance .

“Lord Meng Chuan, Lady Liu Qiyue,” the steward greeted politely .

“Tell Senior Brother Qian Yu that I’m here with Meng Chuan to pay him a visit,” said Liu Qiyue .

“Alright, I’ll pass the message . However, my lord might not wish to meet you,” said the steward helplessly .

“It’s fine, just pass the message on,” said Liu Qiyue .

The steward nodded and entered the cave abode .

Moments later, the steward returned to the door with a bitter expression . He shook his head gently . “My lord only knows how to drink . He doesn’t care about anything . ”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked at each other . Without permission from the cave abode’s owner, they couldn’t barge in . They could only leave helplessly .

Junior Brother Meng Chuan and Junior Sister Liu Qiyue have already passed the Nine Mystical Caves . Are they leaving? Qian Yu’s beard was in a mess . His hair was disheveled, and he looked extremely dispirited . At this moment, he hugged an alcohol flask as he leaned against the railing, and muttered softly, “I still remember nine years ago, I left the mountain in high spirits . But now, I’m a cripple . My dantian has lost all Quintessential Essence . I can’t even use archery techniques .

“Am I to rely on the brute strength of a Godfiend Body? My pure strength is inferior to an Indestructible Godfiend’s explosive strength! Furthermore, arrows shot with pure strength do not have any variations . Demon monarchs easily dodge them! I can’t even compare to an Indestructible realm sharpshooter . Am I just to play the role of a newly-advanced Godfiend sharpshooter?

“Haha, a newly-advanced Godfiend isn’t even wanted on the battlefield . I’m a cripple, a complete cripple . Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, all of you have left, leaving me alone in this world . I can’t even avenge you since I’m crippled . What should I do? What should I do?” Qian Yu drank his alcohol, feeling extremely miserable .

A sharpshooter shot arrows from more than a kilometer away . The arrows were fast and unpredictable . Even if a demon monarch saw them, the arrow trajectories’ could change, making it difficult for them to dodge!

If an arrow was shot with pure brute strength, the variations in the arrow trajectories would be limited due to the lack of Quintessential Essence mystic techniques! A monarch could easily dodge such an arrow shot from a kilometer away . There was no threat at all! With his current strength, he was only a burden on the battlefield .

“What else can I do in this world? What can I do?” Qian Yu drank in his drunken stupor .

…

That evening, Elder Yi paid Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue a visit .

“The two of you will likely be deployed to a medium-sized city pass,” said Elder Yi . “Both of you are considered extremely powerful among Great Solar Godfiends . Sending both of you to a medium-sized city pass will make good use of your strengths . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded .

They were mentally prepared for their deployment . They were well aware of current situations in the various city passes around the human world . Small and large city passes were relatively safe . Most medium-sized city passes didn’t have Marquis Godfiends . Many were guarded by powerful Great Solar Godfiends! Even so, they still lacked manpower .

For example, Senior Brother Qian Yu was at Scholartree Mountain Pass when it was breached . Invasions were carried out by third Firmament demon monarchs, and the ones responsible for defending were Great Solar Godfiends—they were ultimately on the same level! The pressure on the medium city passes was naturally great .

Many city passes were in urgent need of powerful people like Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue .

“Do you have any requests?” asked Elder Yi . “Is there a city pass that you would like to go to?”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue exchanged looks . Meng Chuan said, “We don’t have any other requests . Just arrange for the two of us to be at the same city pass . ”

“If possible,” said Liu Qiyue, “let us be closer to Eastcalm Prefecture . ”

“Alright, I’m now aware of your requests . It’s very simple to arrange for both of you to be together,” said Elder Yi . “As for being close to Eastcalm Prefecture? We will need to assess the various city passes before we can make a decision . ”

“Yes . If it really doesn’t work out, it doesn’t matter if we are far from our hometown,” said Meng Chuan immediately . Liu Qiyue nodded in agreement .

“One of you has a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, while the other is a sharpshooter with a Phoenix Divine Body . Both of you will be of great use,” said Elder Yi . “Archean Mountain needs to assess the situation regarding various city passes carefully . There might be a need for some switching up to redistribute the forces at various city passes better . Therefore, it will take roughly half a month before we can give you the final outcome . ”

“There’s still plenty of time . There’s no rush,” said Meng Chuan .

“Alright . Once we’ve determined where you are going, we will inform the two of you . ” Elder Yi stood up, and the two of them stood up to send him off .

“Be careful when you leave the mountain . Only kill the enemy when you are certain of your safety!” Elder Yi said . “Only by remaining alive will you be of greater use . ”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded before sending Elder Yi away .

“All we can do is wait for deployment now,” said Meng Chuan .

“I wonder which city pass we will be sent to . ” Liu Qiyue looked forward to it as well .

Meng Chuan’s heart was surging with emotions . He started training with the saber at six . It had been twenty-three years since then! Twenty-three years of cultivation produced a Great Solar Godfiend with a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and extremely profound saber arts .

Twenty-three years to forge a saber . Now, this saber is leaving the mountain to drink my enemies’ blood! Meng Chuan’s battle intent surged . After experiencing disaster at six years of age, after experiencing the Eastcalm Prefecture demon invasion, after seeing tens of thousands of Godfiend figures on the Blood Red Cliff—as well as Qian Yu’s pain—he did not show any fear . Instead, his battle intent grew stronger!

Meng Chuan returned to his study . He couldn’t hold it in any longer and started to flick ink across a painting .

He drew a contiguous mountain range—Archean Mountain . It was ancient and majestic, but one Godfiend after another left the mountain and went to every corner of the world .

Meng Chuan recalled the many Godfiend figures on Blood Red Cliff . Those Godfiends had attained success in their cultivation and left the mountain in high spirits . Meng Chuan wanted to draw all of them . He drew each of them very carefully, including Xue Feng, Xiao Yunyue, Qian Yu, and the others he knew .

Countless heroes on all fronts .

Humanity will live forever!

The more Meng Chuan painted, the more intense his battle intent became .
