Chapter 252 - Arrest (1/2)

As the wind howled in the night sky, a few lit candles in a study room could be seen.

Liu Qiyue was flipping through a dossier while her husband was painting.

“I’ll finish the painting tomorrow.” Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at the long scroll. In the painting was Starmoon Lake’s Lake Heart Pavilion. His son, Meng An, had caught a big fish and was excited. His daughter, Meng You, and his wife— Liu Qiyue—were playing chess seriously.

After putting down the brush, Meng Chuan looked out the window and couldn’t help but ask, “Qiyue, why aren’t You’er and An’er back yet?”

Liu Qiyue looked up from the dossier and glanced at the window. She said with a smile, “They must have been delayed at the Dao Academy.”

“It’s already dark. It’s rare for them to be outside this late.” Meng Chuan sensed his son and daughter’s location, and curiously said, “They are in the city. They are more than 15 kilometers away from us.”

“Why did they run so far?” Liu Qiyue put down the dossier in puzzlement.

“Uncle Hua is secretly protecting them. Nothing will happen to them. However, why are they so far away?” Meng Chuan was puzzled. His children would immediately return home after leaving the Dao Academy. Even if they were to go somewhere else, they would inform him first.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue’s expressions changed slightly.

They had bought a set of tokens from Archean Mountain to be used in the family. Their son and daughter brought the tokens with them, allowing them to know their children’s location at all times. As for the avian demon monarch, Uncle Hua, he had one too. He could request for help at any time.

“Uncle Hua is summoning us,” said Meng Chuan.

There were different levels of help requests. The lowest level was to request the couple’s present. The higher level meant a more urgent situation. An even higher level request for help meant a life-and-death situation.

Since it was the lowest-level request for help, Meng Chuan and his wife didn’t panic.

“Uncle Hua wouldn’t trouble us if it’s nothing important. Let’s go and see what happened.” Meng Chuan held his wife’s hand and disappeared from the study.

w.a.n.g Fanchou stood outside the courtyard and looked at the seven corpses and the bloodstains on the ground. He could not help but be furious. He looked at Meng You, Meng An, and Uncle Hua and angrily shouted, “Did you kill them?”

“Yes,” Meng An replied decisively.

“Little b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” w.a.n.g Fanchou’s eyes turned red. His beloved grandson had died tragically. Already enraged, he charged over.

The moment he rushed out, he stopped in midair.

A terrifying domain enveloped the courtyard and w.a.n.g Fanchou. w.a.n.g Fanchou felt like a tiny bug that had fallen into a spiderweb, unable to struggle at all. Shock appeared in his eyes. A young man and woman appeared in the courtyard with sizzling lightning bolts around them.

“Marquis Eastcalm and Marchioness Calmmoon?” w.a.n.g Fanchou’s heart skipped a beat. He was only an Indestructible G.o.dfiend, and now, he was facing two Marquis G.o.dfiends! Just their auras indicated the difference in status. His heart palpitated, and his legs went weak. He was only an ordinary Elder of the w.a.n.g family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been responsible for leading a branch family to Jiang State Capital. Jiang State Capital was quite far away from the w.a.n.g family’s central command center—the Cloud State.

“Dad, Mom,” Meng You and Meng An shouted immediately.

The moment Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue arrived, they saw their children holding weapons and seven corpses around them. They felt that something was amiss.

“Master,” Uncle Hua said respectfully, “These seven were ruthless in their attacks. I only acted to save the young master and young mistress.”

Meng Chuan’s heart stirred when he heard that. He couldn’t help but turn to look at w.a.n.g Fanchou. w.a.n.g Fanchou was suspended three feet above the ground by Meng Chuan’s Darkstar domain, unable to move.

“You’re here to a.s.sa.s.sinate them too?” Meng Chuan’s eyes were cold.

At that moment, w.a.n.g Fanchou figured out the situation. The two teenagers addressed Marquis Eastcalm and Marchioness Calmmoon as their father and mother. They even talked about a.s.sa.s.sinations?

“No, I’m not trying to a.s.sa.s.sinate them,” said w.a.n.g Fanchou immediately. “Marquis Eastcalm, how would I have the guts? I’m w.a.n.g Fanchou from Cloud State’s w.a.n.g family.”

“I saw you about to attack.” Meng Chuan waved his hand, and his Darkstar Quintessential Essence instantly attacked w.a.n.g Fanchou. w.a.n.g Fanchou immediately shouted in horror, “Spare me!”

Following that, the Darkstar Quintessential Essence invaded his body. w.a.n.g Fanchou instantly lost consciousness.

Humph.

Meng Chuan waved his hand.

After losing consciousness, w.a.n.g Fanchouwhose Quintessential Essence was sealedfell to the side.

“Give me the details?” Liu Qiyue looked at Uncle Hua.
