Chapter 47 (2/2)

About a minute later, Fairy Meng arrived at the area she had seen Meng Chuan fleeing in.

With a single glance, she saw Vice Branch Master Gao’s body split in two. Clearly, a sharp saber had halved his body.

Could it be that an expert saved Meng Chuan? Fairy Meng was taken aback as she slammed her walking stick lightly on the ground, producing invisible ripples.

She immediately discovered a huge bear-like corpse lying in a damaged residence not far away. It was Vice Branch Master Tu’s corpse. The fatal injury he suffered was a strike to the neck.

Invisible waves spread out for five kilometers.

She immediately discovered Murong You being pursued by Meng Chuan. Clearly, the former was fleeing in a panic while Meng Chuan was in hot pursuit.

Meng Chuan is chasing after Murong You? Fairy Meng was somewhat dazed.

When she saw the two vice branch masters’ corpses, she thought an expert had saved Meng Chuan. From the looks of it now, it was very likely that Meng Chuan had killed them. Furthermore, he was pursuing Murong You—who was invincible underneath the Godfiend realm.

Although she was shocked, Fairy Meng still rushed over.

Every step she took covered hundreds of feet. Every step she took, her walking stick would hit the ground, and invisible waves emanated out.

With every step she took, she probed the situation, and it affected her speed. However, Fairy Meng was no longer anxious. As she was very close, she was confident that Murong You would be incapable of escaping.

Meng Chuan has taken action? Fairy Meng could clearly sense that when they approached the Caoyun River, Meng Chuan’s speed suddenly increased dramatically as he slashed at Murong You. The speed of that strike shocked her. The saber art was as fast as lightning and was oppressive and tyrannical. Murong You attempted to block it with a forbidden spell. Three strikes were delivered—with the third strike being soft and bizarre—and Murong You was heavily injured. He even lost an arm.

When did Meng Chuan become this strong? Fairy Meng found it unbelievable.

Meng Chuan usually sparred with his father and Fairy Meng. But those spars were to temper his own abilities. There had been no need for him to use the Power of the Soul!

…

Under the night sky, Murong You jumped into Caoyun River. Soon, there was no movement.

Standing by the shore, Meng Chuan frowned and was clearly in a bad mood. By letting him escape, Murong You will definitely report what happened here to the demons. The demons will most likely send their subordinates to assassinate me.

He knew himself very well. He could only be considered a state’s genius without using the Power of the Soul. Once he used the Power of the Soul, he was considered a top-tier genius in the entire world. Just the fact that he could pursue Murong You—who had condensed a demon core—meant that the demons would definitely place great importance on this little fellow from the Eastcalm Prefecture.

Oh? He sensed a powerful aura rapidly approaching him, much faster than when he was using the Power of the Soul.

Soon, a blurry figure arrived at Caoyun River. It was an old woman holding a walking stick.

Grandaunt. His eyes lit up.

Fairy Meng stood on the river surface as her walking stick gently touched the river surface.

The entire river began to tremble, and ripples spread out in every direction—going deep into the river. At the bottom of the river, Murong You—who was fleeing at high speed—felt threads quickly wrap around him. His expression changed, and he struggled with all his might. However, the seemingly ordinary threads were extremely tough. He was unable to escape them.

A Godfiend. Murong You revealed a look of despair. This despair of powerlessness could only happen when facing a Godfiend.

His demonic energy was sealed away as the threads entered his body. The threads then began dragging Murong You out of the river, sending him flying upwards.

He was thrown out of the water and appeared on the river surface.

Murong You saw an old woman holding a walking stick on the water surface.

Fairy Meng. Murong You felt despair. She managed to catch up after all.

Murong You. Meng Chuan instantly relaxed when he saw Murong You being dragged from the river. He didn’t need to worry about news leaking out. Murong You only took a few seconds to swim 500 feet. His speed is comparable to ordinary Seamless realm experts on land. Many fish aren’t as fast as him.

Fairy Meng held onto her walking stick and walked to the riverbank. Murong You followed in tow. The threads had wrapped around him like a dumpling.

“Grandaunt.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully.
