Chapter 196 - The Greater Demon Monarch in Wu State (1/2)

The two Great Solar G.o.dfiends stood there in a daze. They watched helplessly as the green snake demoness retracted her black chain and domain. She then used the flowing water to vanish.

“The green snake demoness fled?” The two exchanged glances.

“Junior Sister, Junior Brother.”

The two stopped casting their forbidden G.o.dfiend spells and hoisted up the two G.o.dfiends’ corpses from the river with their Quintessential Essence. Junior Brother Yang and Junior Junior Sister Chen had fought with them for a short while, but now they were dead. This made the two Great Solar G.o.dfiends extremely sad.

“What should we do now?” asked the armored man.

“Archean Mountain has given orders for G.o.dfiend teams to stop reinforcing the cities once a G.o.dfiend dies during a battle,” said Zhou Fu softly. “Without Junior Sister Chen and Junior Sister Yang, our team has lost half its strength. We can’t continue fighting the demon monarchs.”

Although they had only lost two Indestructible G.o.dfiends, one was skilled with domains while the other was skilled with illusions. They provided great help to the entire team.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed across the horizon and reached the river.

The duo saw the black-robed youth standing on the water.

“Senior Brother Meng.” The duo stood by the riverbank and bowed respectfully.

“The demon monarch fled?” Meng Chuan’s expression changed when he saw the two dead G.o.dfiends.

“It was a third Firmament snake demon monarch. I believe it has reached the Realm of Dao. It is very adept at controlling its water domain. The demon monarch is even stronger when around a large water source.” Zhou Fu immediately revealed everything he knew about the demon monarch. “The demon monarch fled via the river roughly 30 seconds before you arrived, Senior Brother Meng.”

“Thirty seconds?” Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. Even an average Great Solar G.o.dfiend could flee dozens of kilometers in 30 seconds, much less the snake demoness—who was clearly quite formidable. They didn’t even know which direction she had fled in.

“If we had held her back for another 30 seconds, Senior Brother Meng would have killed her.” The armored man was somewhat indignant.

“We can’t stop her if she wants to escape.” Zhou Fu shook his head.

Meng Chuan frowned. Thirty seconds ago? That was when I killed the fox demon monarch. The snake demoness must’ve fled immediately once she learned of Demon Monarch White Fox’s death through the token.

“Bring these two juniors back,” said Meng Chuan with a sigh. “Leave the other places to me.”

With that said, he disappeared into the horizon.

“With Senior Brother Meng around, Gu Mountain Prefecture’s various cities will soon be safe,” said Zhou Fu. “We don’t have to worry.”

“Yes.”

The two G.o.dfiends brought their companions’ corpses to the nearest county city and waited for Earth Net to make arrangements.

…

Meng Chuan searched through all the areas that needed help thoroughly. He even checked the cities that hadn’t requested for help. Whenever he spotted smoke, he would immediately head over and check on the situation.

Whoosh.

An hour later, Meng Chuan returned to his small compound in Gu Mountain Prefecture City.

“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue had remained because she was in charge of guarding the prefecture city while he was outside the city.

“Was the prefecture city attacked?” Meng Chuan asked.

“No.” Liu Qiyue immediately asked, “How are the other places?”

After a moment of silence, Meng Chuan said, “The county cities were all attacked. Many village forts suffered attacks as well.”
