Chapter 190 - Settling in Gu Mountain Prefecture (Final Chapter of Volume) (1/2)

“The Imperial Court will send messengers to your hometown and the Meng family’s residence to announce the conferment of the noble title and bestow a seal,” said Elder Yi with a smile. “You can return to your hometown and personally receive the conferment. You can also choose to skip it. Just let the clan leader receive it on your behalf. Many Godfiends leave it to their clan leaders.”

“I’ll have it received on my behalf.” Meng Chuan nodded.

He would return to his hometown to take a look, but he wasn’t stupid enough to wait there. Who knew when the Imperial Court’s messenger team would arrive? Furthermore, the so-called conferment of earlship, marquisate, or kingship was not taken seriously by Godfiends. This was because Godfiends were powerful because of their individual strength!

Once one became a Darkstar Godfiend, the Imperial Court would take the initiative to confer the title of marquis to them. Once one became an Incessant Godfiend, the Imperial Court would take the initiative to confer kingship. A noble title was ultimately a byproduct of strength. Everyone respected Marquis Godfiends and Regis Godfiends because of their strength!

…

On the fifth day after returning to Archean Mountain, Meng Chuan went to a banquet with his wife.

Zhang Yunfeng stood inside a hall, raised his cup, and looked at the other guests with a smile. “I’ve been fighting demons all my life. I’ve also used forbidden Godfiend spells countless times. I’ve even managed to live to a ripe old age of 189. It’s all thanks to this Indestructible Divine Body. Haha, it’s the best for treating injuries on one’s own body.”

The Godfiends all laughed. Indeed, in this era, it was very difficult for a Great Solar Godfiend to live to 189 years of age.

“I still have about a year left to live. I don’t have any missions left,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile. “I’ll head down the mountain tomorrow and take a good look at the world. I’ll enjoy whatever food the world has to offer and enjoy its scenery. I’ll kill demons in passing as well. When I’m about to die, I’ll return to my hometown. When that happens, I won’t be troubling all my old friends any further.”

Meng Chuan, Yang Fang, and the other Godfiends had mixed feelings.

Zhang Yunfeng was close to the end of his lifespan, so Archean Mountain didn’t give Zhang Yunfeng any missions during their deployments.

“To be honest, I haven’t had a chance to explore the world properly in my life. I’m really looking forward to it,” Zhang Yunfeng said with a sigh before raising his cup. “Most of those who came today are here because we forged a friendship through experiencing life-and-death battles together. Today’s dinner is a farewell party. After that, we will be scattered across the world. Here, let’s toast.”

All the Godfiends raised their cups and drank.

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng had worked together for over half a year, and they had become good friends due to protecting each other. As for the Godfiends present, some had a deeper relationship with Zhang Yunfeng.

When the banquet ended, Zhang Yunfeng said loudly, “There’s no banquet that lasts forever. Let’s part ways here. An old man like me can now slack off and eat the delicacies of the world. As for the matter of fighting the demons, I’ll depend on everybody here.”

“Senior Brother Zhang, don’t worry. We will not be soft when killing demons.”

“Senior Brother Zhang, don’t worry. We will definitely win the war with the demons.”

One Godfiend after another made promises.

After everything came to an end, the Godfiends finally dispersed. Before dawn the next day, Zhang Yunfeng went down the mountain alone and began to admire the mountains and rivers. There were many places he had never seen before.

…

The Godfiends on Archean Mountain were sent down the mountain in batches.

In the evening, Meng Chuan was painting in the study while Liu Qiyue practiced her calligraphy.

“My lord, Elder Yi is here.” Steward Liu’s voice came from outside the study.

Elder Yi? Meng Chuan’s heart skipped a beat. He stopped painting and exchanged glances with his wife, Liu Qiyue.

“Our transfer orders should be here,” Liu Qiyue said.

Meng Chuan nodded and immediately went to the cave abode’s entrance with his wife to welcome Elder Yi.

Elder Yi walked over the snow and smiled. “Are you painting and practicing calligraphy? I can smell the fragrance of ink.”

“It’s just a random scrawl. Elder, please.” Meng Chuan and his wife welcomed the Elder and led him into the hall.

Inside the hall, maidservants prepared tea.

The three of them sat down, and the maidservant naturally left. Only the three of them were left in the hall.

“Your transfer orders are here,” said Elder Yi with a smile.

The duo jolted to attention.

Elder Yi took out two squarish white jade tokens. The front of each token had the words “Patrol,” and he handed them to Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

“Patrol?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue received the token. Looking at it, they saw the same map carved on it. The map was roughly the area around Wu State and Qian State.

“Now that all small and medium-sized city passes have been abandoned, the number of Godfiends needed at the seven major city passes has been greatly reduced,” said Elder Yi. “Most of our Archean Mountain Godfiends have become a part of Earth Net. They will be distributed in a way that they form a huge net that spans the world! We can kill gathered demons at any time.
