Chapter 170 - Jiang and Wu in Harvest Spell Food for the World (1/2)
The two Skydemon Sect disciples despaired as they watched the Godfiend shoot two bolts of lightning at them. Originally, they had hoped that this Godfiend would spare them.
Boom! Boom!
When the two lightning bolts struck, Qian Rucheng and his fellow Skydemon Sect disciple turned to dust. Even the items they carried with them were destroyed, leaving only two craters behind.
He had to rid evil thoroughly! Meng Chuan never showed mercy to the demons and Skydemon Sect because he knew that the seemingly weak Skydemon Sect disciples would kill many innocent people. Since they had joined the Skydemon Sect and betrayed humanity, they could forget about being spared.
…
Meng Chuan led the Skydemon Sect Elder back to the manor.
“Junior Brother Meng.” Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang immediately came to receive him. They saw the goateed elder in Meng Chuan’s grasp.
“He’s a second Firmament Skydemon,” said Meng Chuan. “He’s in charge of liaising with the scouts. He can become a bird via demonic transformation. If I were any slower, he would have flown away.”
“He can become a bird via demonic transformation?” Zhang Yunfeng nodded. “He’s a Skydemon. I’m afraid my illusion spells aren’t strong enough to interrogate him. I’ll get Junior Brother Cheng to interrogate him. Junior Brother Cheng is a Great Solar Mirage Godfiend. He’s much stronger in the field of illusions than me. It won’t be difficult for him to interrogate a second Firmament Skydemon that his demonic powers sealed.”
“I’ll go with you,” Yang Fang said. “You’re only good at domains. Don’t act alone.”
“Yes.” Zhang Yunfeng nodded as well.
The three of them silently left the manor and arrived at Jiang State’s Archean Mountain branch. They found Cheng Shiyou.
After Zhang Yunfeng revealed his token, Cheng Shiyou immediately said, “Senior Brothers, please wait a moment. I’ll interrogate the Skydemon immediately.”
…
In a hall.
In front of Meng Chuan and the others, Cheng Shiyou began casting illusion techniques on the Skydemon. As a peak Great Solar Godfiend with a Mirage Fiend body, he was one of the most important Godfiends in Jiang State Capital. He was in no way inferior to Yu Chiyan—one of Meng Chuan’s Godfiend buddies at North River Pass.
The goateed elder was completely controlled by Cheng Shiyou and answered everything he was asked.
“I don’t know. I’m only in charge of gathering intelligence and reporting it to the Grand Elder. The Grand Elder is in contact with the inner sect,” said the goateed elder in a daze.
“Who is the Grand Elder? How do you contact him?” Cheng Shiyou asked.
“He’s Raven Mountain Palace’s Grand Elder, Chunyu Xiao. I need to fly 300 kilometers to Lanze Lake…” the goateed elder continued.
Pieces of information came out of his mouth.
Meng Chuan and the others frowned as they listened.
“The Skydemon Sect’s spy network is made up of independent chains. There’s no way to investigate the entire network,” said Meng Chuan.
“If it were so easy to investigate, the Skydemon Sect wouldn’t have existed for so many years.” Zhang Yunfeng was calm. “Furthermore, I discovered something. When Raven Mountain Palace Lord gave the orders, he said that the Great Zhou Dynasty has the densest population and that the Jiang State and Wu State have the most people. Which is why it was imperative for them to investigate the Godfiends at the state capitals.”
“Raven Mountain Palace Lord has extremely high status in Skydemon Sect. Apart from the sect master and two deputy sect masters, there are seven Palace Lords in Skydemon Sect,” said Zhang Yunfeng. “Since he said that the Jiang and Wu State has the greatest population density in the Great Zhou Dynasty, their main targets should be the Jiang State and the Wu State.
“Yes.” Yang Fang and Cheng Shiyou nodded in agreement.
Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. He also agreed with Senior Brother Zhang’s speculation. However, Eastcalm Prefecture laid in Wu State. His father, Liu Yebai, and over 10,000 Meng family members were in Eastcalm Prefecture. He was somewhat worried when faced with the demons’ incoming assault. However, he had no choice but to sit still. All Godfiends were under Archean Mountain’s command.
Of course, when Archean Mountain was arranging the defenses, they would also do their best to take care of the Godfiend families. However, Archean Mountain’s main priority was to protect everybody, not just the Godfiend family clans.
“I’ll write a letter and report everything I’ve found out to Archean Mountain,” said Zhang Yunfeng.
…
Meng Chuan and company hid in the dark as they waited in Jiang State Capital silently.
Days passed.
People from various small and medium-sized city passes were still migrating en masse. Demons would occasionally attack a city pass, but they would rush back to the Demon Realm when they realized a Marquis Godfiend was present. The presence of a Marquis Godfiend horrified the demon monarchs.
The demons’ goal was to force the Marquis Godfiends to defend the city passes.
