Chapter 217 - Particle Space (1/2)

The new year was very lively.

Liu Yebai happily brought his grandson and granddaughter out to shop, carrying each child with one hand. In midair, a gray bird followed him. It constantly looked down and watched the two young ones closely. Ever since the two were born, this third Firmament avian demon monarch became their secret guardian! With the twin’s grandfather protecting them in the open and the avian demon monarch protecting them in secret, Meng Chuan and his wife felt at ease.

They both felt like they owed their children a normal childhood. However, their circumstances didn’t permit it. They spent a lot of time cultivating and needed to travel everywhere. All they could do was hire two more women to take good care of the children.

“Dad, you have to be careful when out with the twins.” Liu Qiyue and Meng Chuan had just returned when they bumped into Liu Yebai.

“Don’t worry about me.” Liu Yebai chuckled. He had originally helped Meng Dajiang manage the Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture, but he was now focused on taking care of his grandson and granddaughter. As for his good brother, Meng Dajiang? He naturally felt sorry for him. Meng Dajiang had taken a leave of absence a few days ago to visit them before returning to Eastcalm Prefecture hurriedly. After all, he was in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture.

As the Meng family clan leader, he couldn’t be as willful as Liu Yebai.

“Ah Chuan.” In the study room, Liu Qiyue frowned at her husband—who was preparing his paint—and said, “For the past few months, we’ve had more rescue missions than in the past, but have you noticed something? The number of demon monarchs attacking cities in the area that we are responsible for is gradually decreasing.

“However, most demon monarchs have long retreated by the time we arrived. There aren’t many demon monarchs that we can kill,” said Liu Qiyue. “They are clearly here, so why has their attack frequency decreased?”

“When you were pregnant, I acted alone. I did my best to rescue cities and kill the demons. Back then, my speed was faster than now.” Meng Chuan explained with a smile, “The demons aren’t stupid. They will gain critical information from every attack. The demon monarchs will attack for shorter periods of time and retreat even earlier. Therefore, we often find no demon monarchs by the time we arrive. This is also a good thing because the earlier they retreat, the less damage to the city.”

“I’m saying that the demon monarchs’ attacking frequency is reducing overall,” said Liu Qiyue. “Don’t you think something’s wrong?”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan indifferently said, “Qiyue, there are far more demon monarchs in the Demon Realm than Godfiends. How many demon monarchs are there in the various prefectures and counties? The Demon Realm hasn’t truly shown its strength yet!”

“What do you mean?” Liu Qiyue was alarmed.

“If you were a demon and chose to attack the human world, would you use your full strength from the very beginning?” asked Meng Chuan. “I would first send a scouting force into the human world to grasp the enemy situation. Isn’t that expected?”

“You mean that… the demon monarchs currently in the human world are just scouts?” Liu Qiyue’s heart tightened.

“We’ve reinforcing cities across two states. The Wu State and Qian State are large bustling states. I’ve estimated that there are about 30 third Firmament demon monarchs in a prefecture on average. Of course, more than half have died,” said Meng Chuan. “However, there are over a thousand prefectures in the human world! There are about 30,000 third Firmament demon monarchs in the human world right now. What does this number mean to the Demon Realm as a whole?”

Liu Qiyue nodded solemnly. “Yes, I understand where you are coming from.”

“Don’t worry. The various states have several Marquis Godfiends. There are several peak Godfiend teams. No matter how many demon monarchs come, they will only be slaughtered,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“The demons are sinister and cunning. If this batch of demon monarchs are only scouts, things won’t be simple when their true army begins invading the human world.” Liu Qiyue was worried.

“What’s there to worry about? The demons are so much stronger than humans. Both of us know that victory is destined to be very difficult to obtain,” said Meng Chuan with a relaxed smile. “All we need to do is become stronger. The stronger we are, the more demons we can deal with. By the way, Qiyue, your strength has increased significantly.”

Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up as she nodded. “That’s right. After that phoenix feather’s power fused with me, my divine body became much stronger. Likewise for my flames. I have even greater affinity with the Dao of Fire now. After I gave birth, I gained some vague insights into the Realm of Dao.”

“Realm of Dao?” Meng Chuan was shocked. After reaching the peak of Saber Soul, he had always been stumped by the Saber Dao realm.
