Chapter 167 - Traces of the Skydemon Sect (1/2)

2nd March, morning.

Jiang State Capital.

Meng Chuan—looking like an ordinary saber user—began patrolling the city as usual. He held a few piping-hot meat buns in his hands as he ate. He didn’t look very special, but he was constantly scanning his surroundings with his perception domain.

Ever since the Great Relocation Plan had begun in earnest, Meng Chuan would patrol the city five times a day. Thrice when the sun was up, and twice at night! Be it the three supreme sects or Godfiends like Meng Chuan; they believed that the demon monarchs didn’t care about the number of demons that had died at the city passes over the years! Now that they knew the state capitals and prefecture cities were empty, it was impossible for them to remain unmoved by the rare opportunity.

The humans were out in the light, while the demons lurked in the dark! Meng Chuan dared not slack off.

“Oh?” Meng Chuan suddenly paused. He had picked up on two weak demonic auras—roughly a kilometer away.

After patrolling for so many days, I’ve finally discovered Skydemon Sect disciples. Meng Chuan finished his current meat bun in two bites. After stepping into an alley, he vanished into thin air. He was already on a roof a kilometer away from his original position.

…

The door to an ordinary residence was tightly shut.

A couple sat inside.

“Our sect’s records noted that Marquis Godfiends are extremely powerful. Even if we suppress our demonic auras, Marquis Godfiends will sense us from a few kilometers away.” The yellow-robed woman grunted. “We usually hide on the island and send people from the Chamber of Commerce to investigate Jiang State Capital. However, they’ve ordered us disciples to enter Jiang State Capital to investigate the situation. If a Marquis Godfiend were to discover us, we’ll die.”

“The higher-ups said that there aren’t any Marquis Godfiends in Jiang State Capital,” said the thin man.

“Humph! There are so many Archean Mountain Godfiends. Where are the Godfiends hiding? Do you think our Skydemon Sect can investigate them all? What’s true is false; what’s false is true. Marquis Godfiends might be hiding in Jiang State Capital,” said the yellow-robed woman.

“So what? Can we disobey orders?” asked the thin man.

“Humph. They are sending us to our deaths. Those old fogies naturally don’t care.” The yellow-robed woman’s eyes were cold.

“Hurry up and take action. The higher-ups said that we must report back in three days,” said the thin man. “Without sufficient intelligence to satisfy them, we will all suffer.”

The yellow-robed woman panicked when she heard that.

Skydemon Sect’s punishments were extremely cruel.

…

Meng Chuan stood on the roof. He could clearly hear the conversation between the two Skydemon disciples since he was within 200 hundred feet. He wasn’t in a hurry to capture them since he was eavesdropping on their conversation.

An entire batch of disciples have entered Jiang State Capital? It looks like it’s far more than the two of them! They have to report in three days?

Creak.

Just as the two Skydemon Sect disciples opened the door and were about to leave the house, invisible Quintessential Essence swept past them. The duo instantly fainted.

Meng Chuan appeared beside them.

Controlling two mortals was extremely easy for a Godfiend.

Time to go. He grabbed each person with one hand and left silently. He carried the duo as he traversed the rooftops. Since they were traveling at supersonic speeds, he used the Heaven and Earth powers to prevent any sonic booms from being generated. Mortals couldn’t see him when he was moving at such terrifying speeds even if they widened their eyes.

Five seconds later, Meng Chuan returned to the manor.
