Chapter 188 - Earl Conferment (1/2)

The couple stared at each other, speechless.

Meng Chuan realized that Qiyue’s aura had become even sharper. She had yet to suppress the baneful aura—that formed as a result from staying on the battlefield for a long time. Liu Qiyue had likely killed many demons in the last few months.

“Are you all right?” Meng Chuan finally asked.

“There’s no danger with Master around,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “We deliberately acted as though we had completely withdrawn from North River Pa.s.s until the end. When the demons entered on a large scale, we constantly killed them with Master. Master killed the powerful demon monarchs. We killed the weak demon monarchs. By the way, what about you? I heard that you, Senior Brother Zhang Yunfeng, and Senior Yang Fang, killed a fourth Firmament Skydemon.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “That day was most intense. Many G.o.dfiends died in battle, but the demons suffered great losses too. The subsequent battles’ danger eased significantly.”

As the two chatted, Senior Brother Zhang Yunhu and Senior Sister Yang Xingwu walked over.

Liu Qiyue greeted them. “Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Sister Yang.”

Yang Xingwu smiled and said, “The moment Junior Brother Meng arrived at Dao Exchange Peak, he asked us about you. The two of you are so affectionate.”

Liu Qiyue smiled brightly as she listened.

“Where’s Junior Brother Fan Cheng?” asked Zhang Yunhu.

“He went back to his cave abode first. He will probably take some time to come over,” Liu Qiyue explained. She suddenly saw a figure in the distance. Surprised, she led Meng Chuan over and said, “Senior Brother Zhang, please excuse us. Ah Chuan, follow me.”

“Oh?” Meng Chuan followed Liu Qiyue into the distance. Hundreds of G.o.dfiends gathered in small cliques. There were plenty of people gathered at Dao Exchange Peak.

“Qian Yu?” Meng Chuan also noticed who it was.

Qian Yu was chatting with other G.o.dfiends. He no longer looked disheartened. His hair was a little white, making him appear much more haggard. However, with Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul, he could sense that Qian Yu’s aura was much stronger than before. He could be considered powerful among Great Solar G.o.dfiends.

“Senior Brother Qian.” Liu Qiyue brought Meng Chuan over. They had both been worried about Qian Yu back then. However, they never saw him again after they left the mountain.

“Junior Sister Liu.” When Qian Yu saw her, he couldn’t help but smile. “Brother-in-law, you didn’t invite me when you got married.”

Liu Qiyue immediately explained, “Ah Chuan and I got married at North River Pa.s.s. All our fellow disciples have matters to tend to, so we didn’t invite anyone.”

Qian Yu nodded with a smile before looking at Meng Chuan. His eyes lit up. “Brother-in-law, you’re really impressive. It’s only been three years since you left the mountain, but you’ve already acc.u.mulated five million credits! You will probably be conferred the t.i.tle of earl, am I right? The number of demon monarchs and Skydemons that died to your hands is much more than what we’ve killed.”

Now, Qian Yu was most impressed with his fellow disciples that killed many demon monarchs and Skydemons.

Meng Chuan was the most stunning person among them! Not only did he kill a large number of demon monarchs and Skydemons, but he had also killed a fourth Firmament Skydemon after cooperating with two senior brothers.

“We were lucky,” said Meng Chuan. “I only managed to acc.u.mulate five million credits by stealing some of Senior Brother Zhang Yunfeng and Senior Brother Yang Fang’s hard work.”

“Junior Brother Meng, I think it was the two of us who stole your hard work.” Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang walked over with a smile. Zhang Yunfeng smiled. “Without you, we would have lost our lives. Without us, you would’ve shaken off the fourth Firmament Skydemon and demon monarchs easily.”

The credit they gained for killing Blackwater Palace Lord was immense. Blackwater Palace Lord’s bounty was set at ten million credits! Meng Chuan and company split the credits evenly. This allowed Meng Chuan to have over five million acc.u.mulated credits. He was qualified for earls.h.i.+p.

“The battle was harrowing,” said Meng Chuan. “The three of us worked together and barely managed to kill Blackwater Palace Lord.”

“Yes, it was indeed harrowing.” Yang Fang and Zhang Yunfeng nodded.

The trio succeeded by giving their all when they met Blackwater Palace Lord.

As for Greater Demon Monarch Zhuang Fu? Even if the trio joined forces, it was useless. The difference in strength was too great.

“Junior Brother Qian, you seem to have switched to the Body Tempering G.o.dfiend lineage?” Zhang Yunfeng looked at Qian Yu and asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Qian Yu nodded. “My dantian was destroyed, and I lost most of my strength. Thus, I begged Master, and Master gave me this path. Our human’s Body Tempering G.o.dfiend lineage has only been established for a few centuries after all. There are too many imperfections, but we still need G.o.dfiends to try it out personally. Only with enough experience can the formula become complete. To begin with, I was a Great Solar G.o.dfiend, so it’s quite rare for someone like me to switch to the Body Tempering G.o.dfiend lineage. Master aided me in my Body Tempering cultivation. There was a 50% chance of failure—which would result in me being completely crippled or even dying. But I succeeded! My overall strength is much greater than before.”
