Chapter 51: Three G.o.dfiends

At dawn, a gray-robed man walked in an alley. He turned to look at a residence. With a gentle nudge, he silently obliterated the locked door.

“Oh?” The elder who was sweeping in the yard looked up in puzzlement. He saw that his door had already disappeared. Dust floated around as the gray-robed man walked in.

“Answer me.” The gray-robed man’s voice was hoa.r.s.e as he looked at the old man with his green eyes. “Which country, state, and city is this?”

A thick demonic aura enveloped the old man.

The old man’s eyes lost their l.u.s.ter as he said in a daze, “This is the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu State, Eastcalm Prefecture City.”

The gray-robed man continued to walk into the residence, while the old man collapsed to the ground, dead.

Creak. Another door opened, and a middle-aged man stretched his back and walked out. At the same time, he shouted, “Dad, Dad…”

Suddenly, he saw the gray-robed man walking over, as well as his elderly father—who had collapsed in the courtyard. The middle-aged man’s eyes turned dull and lifeless.

“Tell me, which country, state, and city is this?” the gray-robed man asked again.

“This is the Great Zhou Dynasty, Wu State, Eastcalm Prefecture City,” the middle-aged man replied in a daze.

And then, the gray-robed man turned and left.

As for the seven people inside the residence, they died silently.

…

Jadesun Palace.

Palace Lord Jadesun sat in a lotus position, cultivating as his body was covered in a white glow. Suddenly, he felt the jade pendant around his waist burn, causing his heart to palpitate. The white glow around his body immediately converged, and he retrieved the black jade pendant hidden at his waist.

The black jade pendant was currently glowing red.

“East.” Palace Lord Jadesun held the black jade pendant and had an ugly expression. “A demon monarch?”

This Demon Seeking Token was given to him by Archean Mountain, and he carried it with him. It would immediately sense the release of a demon monarch’s demonic aura within a twenty-five-kilometer radius.

Jadesun Palace was situated in the middle of the city; a radius of twenty-five kilometers covered the entire city. Many prefecture cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty ranged from ten kilometers in diameter to forty kilometers in diameter.

Of course, if a demon monarch didn’t use any demonic spells, the token wouldn’t be able to sense a restrained demonic aura. However, as long as a demon monarch wanted to do something, they would eventually have to use some demonic spells.

A demon monarch appeared in Eastcalm Prefecture? Palace Lord Jadesun was alarmed. His figure flashed as he exited the room and stood atop the palace.

“In that direction.” Palace Lord Jadesun followed the direction indicated by the jade pendant and hurried over.

…

The gray-robed man selected three families in a row and asked the same question.

“Time to leave.” The gray-robed man came to a nearby river that was only twenty feet wide. With a single step, he entered the river, then disappeared into it.

…

Swoosh.

Palace Lord Jadesun landed on the roof of a five-storied restaurant. He looked towards the east with a solemn expression, “The demonic aura has completely vanished.”

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

However, Palace Lord Jadesun kept following the jade pendant’s directions. In less than a minute, he arrived at the spot where the demonic aura first appeared.

Three families killed. Palace Lord Jadesun stood on the roof and easily determined everything. “The corpses aren’t damaged at all. This demon monarch was very careful and didn’t make a sound.” Palace Lord Jadesun frowned. A demon monarch suddenly appeared in our Eastcalm Prefecture? Could it be that a World Entrance has appeared in Eastcalm Prefecture?

Demon monarchs were extremely cautious.

It was extremely rare for them to enter a human city alone. In a lesser-known city like Eastcalm Prefecture, to have a demon monarch appear without any warning meant a high chance that a new World Entrance had appeared in Eastcalm Prefecture.

If this really is a new World Entrance, the demon invasion of Eastcalm Prefecture can happen at any moment. Palace Lord Jadesun’s heart tightened.
