Chapter 186: Seven Months

When King East River saw the two of them, he nodded slightly . He was very familiar with these two Great Solar Godfiends .

He was the one who personally recruited Meng Chuan into Archean Mountain . Meng Chuan was the most outstanding disciple in that batch! King East River felt as though he was seeing his own disciple .

As for Zhang Yunfeng, he was very close to his age . He entered Archean Mountain two years later than him . Back then, Zhang Yunfeng was very outstanding when he managed to master a transcendent-grade Godfiend Body . However, King East River was much more dazzling back then . He was from an ordinary family, and he had displayed stunning accomplishments while studying at a Dao Academy . Archean Mountain had accepted him as a disciple early . He had been even more dazzling than the present Xue Feng, Meng Chuan, and Liu Qiyue . He became a Godfiend at the age of 36 and became a Regis Godfiend at the age of 79 . He had been a Regis Godfiend for over a hundred years, and his strength was unfathomable .

“Archean Mountain has received several requests for help . They say that Changfeng Prefecture has discovered a fourth Firmament threat,” said King East River . “I just investigated the entire Changfeng Prefecture . You are the only two Godfiends alive . ”

“Sought reinforcements several times?” Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan exchanged looks . The fleeing Godfiends had probably requested for help .

“Junior Brother Meng and I rushed to Changfeng Prefecture to help . On the surface, three demon monarchs were wreaking havoc, but in reality, it was a trap,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “A fourth Firmament demon monarch hid underground . Most of the Godfiends that came died . Thankfully, Junior Brother Meng was fast enough, so I also managed to survive . That was how the fourth Firmament demon monarch was exposed . ”

“What about the fourth Firmament demon monarch?” asked King East River .

“About 150 seconds ago, that demon monarch flew into the sky and fled,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “He’s a scorpion demon . He has a divine power that allows him to release poison stingers that go as far as 750 meters . ”

“150 seconds? I can still give chase . ” King East River instantly phased away .

Zhang Yunfeng couldn’t help but say, “In 150 seconds, that demon monarch should be more than 50 kilometers away . Furthermore, we don’t even know which direction he fled in; yet, King East River is still giving chase . ”

“Uncle-Master East River is even faster than me,” said Meng Chuan in amazement . “Just now, he scanned the entire Changfeng Prefecture with a thought; thus, he can naturally find the fourth Firmament demon monarch across a large area . Perhaps he might discover it . If he does, that demon monarch is dead . ”

King East River spent 100 seconds searching a 100-kilometer-radius around Changfeng Prefecture .

He still couldn’t find Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu .

From the looks of it, he has gone underground . King East River looked down at the ground while in midair . His scanning methods were much less effective when probing underground . There was no way he could scan large areas at once .

Following that, King East River held a Patroller Token . The diagram on it was extremely complicated; it had the entire Great Zhou Dynasty’s map carved into it . He was guarding five states, three of which were: the Wu State, the Huang State, and the Jiang State!

Next place . King East River remained 1000 feet above the ground . With a whoosh, he disappeared into the horizon . By being closer to the ground, he could discover demon monarchs faster .

…

In the human world, Godfiends have the overall advantage . There are only seven large-scale city passes in the Great Zhou Dynasty . That means only one Creation Supremacy and eight Regis Godfiends are needed at those city passes . The other Regis Godfiends can go around hunting the demon monarchs . Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu hid more than half a kilometer underground . It was safest to be underground .

Although it’s a little slower, it’s safer . Zhuang Fu was very patient . Although he cultivated the Force of the Land and was good at escaping underground, his speed was still much slower than when he was on land .

I’ll move somewhere else and ambush the Godfiends . It’s a rare opportunity to hunt down Godfiends during the humans’ Great Relocation Plan . Zhuang Fu rapidly advanced underground .

As for why he had soared into the sky in front of Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng? That was just to trick the Godfiends .

…

Changfeng Prefecture soon had other Godfiends guarding it .

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng returned to Jiang State Capital . The moment they returned, Meng Chuan immediately went to bed . Deep sleep was the fastest way to recover his Power of Essence Soul reserves . It was faster than meditative cultivation . After six hours, his token heated up, and Meng Chuan jolted awake .

Time to go . He met up with Zhang Yunfeng and did not hesitate as he immediately set off to rescue other cities again .

Fortunately, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul reserves had mostly been restored after six hours of sleep . He had the confidence to face the dangers .

…

The day Blackwater Palace Lord had attacked Jiang State Capital was 19th March . It was also when the demons and the Skydemon Sect jointly attacked cities across the world in the morning . Even small and middle-sized city passes were attacked for the entire morning! This forced the Marquis Godfiends to defend the city passes .

This was the most tragic day!

Five Regis Godfiends, including Archean Mountain Lord, were each in charge of several states . Supremacy Qin Wu guarded Archean Mountain and Archean City . Archean Mountain was very important . As the oldest sect, Archean Mountain had many secrets . It was not enough for a mere Regis Godfiend to preside over it . After all, the Skydemon Sect had two fifth Firmament Skydemons! It was unknown whether there were any fifth Firmament demon monarchs hidden in the human world .

Perhaps there were one or two of them .

Everything was unpredictable .

As the Great Zhou Dynasty’s headquarters, Archean Mountain could not panic even if half of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory was lost . If Archean Mountain was gone, everything it had built over the years would be raided . That would really spell doom!

Archean Mountain had encountered many crises in history . For example, when Black Sand Grotto-Heaven was at its strongest, Archean Mountain gave up all land in the outside world and turtled up at Archean Mountain . According to the sect’s rules, a Supremacy had to guard Archean Mountain at all times! If the sect did not have any Creation Supremacies for a period of time, at least three Regis Godfiends had to guard the mountain .

With a protected Archean Mountain, the sect would have the confidence to deal with all danger .

…

Time passed .

In the following days, the intensity of the attacks reduced greatly .

On 19th March, although many human Godfiends died in battle, the demons and Skydemon Sect suffered greater casualties!

On this day, six fourth firmament Skydemons died in battle! Great Solar Godfiends kill three as they fought to their deaths . Regis Godfiends killed another three . After this, the Skydemon Sect was unwilling to send any more fourth firmament Skydemons, believing that they had suffered enough losses .

On this day, three fourth Firmament demon monarchs died in battle as well . They had all died at the hands of Regis Godfiends . However, the cautious and crafty Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu survived . The remaining fourth Firmament demon monarchs also became more cautious . Although earning credit was nice, they had to be alive to enjoy it .

Thus, after 19th March, very few fourth Firmament threats appeared .

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng were often mobilized to reinforce nearby cities . Since they were fast and could easily kill ordinary demon monarchs, Archean Mountain was happy to mobilize them .

In the next seven months, the duo had provided help to areas within 500 kilometers of Jiang State Capital and had only encountered a fourth Firmament demon monarch once! It was an extremely ferocious ape demon monarch . However, in terms of sneak attacks and assassination techniques, it was inferior to the sinister Zhuang Fu . When Demon Monarch Ape—who was only good at close combat—charged forward and struck with his pole, Meng Feng immediately unleashed the Power of Essence Soul and fled with Senior Brother Zhang!

The threat of a fourth Firmament ape demon monarch—who was only good at close combat—was lower than that of Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu .

Of course, the Demon Monarch Ape’s sneak attack was terrifying as well . It blasted a canyon—that was over half a kilometer long—and killed several hundreds of mortals . Following that, Demon Monarch Ape pursued Meng Chuan for a while . When he discovered that there he had no hope of catching up, he immediately fled . Fourth Firmament demon monarchs didn’t dare fight for too long because they were afraid that Regis Godfiends would arrive .

“Junior Brother Meng, Junior Brother Yang . ”

On 6th October, a secret letter from Archean Mountain was sent to Zhang Yunfeng .

After Zhang Yunfeng read the letter, he handed it to Meng Chuan and Yang Fang with a complicated expression on his face . “The Great Relocation Plan is over . ”

Meng Chuan immediately received the letter . Yang Fang put down his roasted meat and came over to take a look .

“The Great Relocation Plan is over . ” Meng Chuan and Yang Fang were somewhat dazed .

“Next, we’ll be abandoning the small and medium-sized city passes completely,” Zhang Yunfeng said in dismay . “A large number of demon monarchs will swarm into our human world . ”
