Chapter 158 - Credit is Always Welcomed (1/2)

“Uncle-Master Meng?” Yu Chiyan smiled as she looked at Meng Chuan. “I’m afraid Uncle-Master Meng wouldn’t even bother with us in the future when we want to meet him.”

“Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, stop pulling my leg,” said Meng Chuan immediately.

After spending a year together, they had become friends with each other. They were very close to each other, so it was very normal for them to joke around.

“Alright, alright. It’s time to rest. s.h.i.+ Xiu, Xingwu, help me sort out the demon monarch corpses,” instructed Zhang Yunhu.

s.h.i.+ Xiu and Yang Xingwu both nodded. The three of them jumped down. Yang Xingwu’s domain was good at clearing demon monarch corpses. s.h.i.+ Xiu’s Sanguine Divine Body was very sensitive to blood, and Zhang Yunhu was supervising them. After all, if these demon monarchs died, they might carry some treasures with them. These needed to be handed to Archean Mountain. Archean Mountain would estimate the credit they earned and then distribute it.

Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, Yu Chiyu, and Mu Qing returned to their residences with smiles on their faces. There were very few casualties this time because not many demons had managed to climb up the outer city wall. Only a few dozen deaths were incurred. Such losses on the battlefield were really small.

…

Yang Xingwu and s.h.i.+ Xiu were clearing the corpses while Zhang Yunhu recorded their actions.

“What move did Junior Brother Meng use? How did he kill Demon Monarch Lion? s.h.i.+ Xiu checked out the area where Demon Monarch Lion died and picked up the inner armor he wore. There was some dust on the inner armor. “There’s only weapons and armor left. Demon Monarch Lion’s body has completely vanished. There’s not even a speck left.”

“He can turn you into dust if he can turn Demon Monarch Lion to dust.” Yang Xingwu’s lips curled. “Clear the area quickly, and stop thinking about it.”

“He’s indeed impressive.” s.h.i.+ Xiu shook his head and sighed in amazement. “That’s why he’s a Lightning Devastator Fiend Body genius that appears once every few centuries. We’re only ordinary Archean Mountain G.o.dfiends. However, why is the difference between G.o.dfiends so great? He’s more powerful than Old Zhang despite leaving the mountain for only a year. When can I catch up to Old Zhang?”

“You can compete with me when you reach the Realm of Dao,” said Zhang Yunhu.

“I’ve cultivated for so many years, but I’ve only attained Greater Mastery in the Realm of Soul. I’m still far from the peak. As for the Realm of Dao? I’m afraid that I won’t be able to reach it for the rest of my life.” s.h.i.+ Xiu shook his head and sighed. He continued to clear the area. “Besides, cultivating the Sanguine Divine Body is quite painful. If I don’t break through, I’ll suffer less.”

Zhang Yunhu smiled. He knew that although s.h.i.+ Xiu didn’t seem to care and often spent time in promiscuous places—where he indulged in alcohol and s.e.x—he would cultivate arduously every once in a while. Cultivating the Sanguine Divine Body was h.e.l.l. However, due to such torturous cultivation, s.h.i.+ Xiu had the best willpower at North River Pa.s.s.

…

Back in their manor, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sat together, drinking tea and eating snacks.

“Ah Chuan, it looked really dangerous this time,” said Liu Qiyue worriedly. “I heard that Divine Power Demon Monarchs typically have very special bloodlines. They have great backgrounds in the Demon Realm.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “I read some books on the mountain. Demon sages’ children have extraordinary bloodlines. Most of them have divine powers when they are in the third Firmament. Demon Monarch Lion might be a demon sage’s son.”

“Will there be trouble then?” Liu Qiyue was worried. “Will that demon sage think of a way to avenge Demon Monarch Lion?”

“Haha, what’s there to be afraid of?” Meng Chuan laughed. “We are mortal enemies with demons. It’s extremely difficult for demons to enter the human world. The biggest World Entrance only allows entry to a fifth Firmament greater demon monarch. Even if a demon sage wishes to enter the human world, they won’t be able to do so.”

Demon sages were equivalent to human Creation Supremacies.

According to Meng Chuan, demon sages enjoyed extremely high status among the demons. As for how many there were? He still wasn’t privy to such information.
