Chapter 255 - Raid (1/2)
Liu Qiyue had been stationed in Jiang State Capital for ten years, and she rarely took action. As for Meng Chuan, he had been in charge of rescuing people in six different states for ten years. He had been engaging in slaughter all this time, so he was extremely bloodthirsty.
Every time the demon monarchs attacked, a large number of mortals would die.
Meng Chuan had seen too many ma.s.sacres. He tried his best to rescue the various regions and never slacked off! Wherever Archean Mountain deployed him, he would go without any complaints. He had been stationed in all of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s regions. This was also what Archean Mountain called “defense switch.” By moving G.o.dfiends around, the demons suffered even more losses in the Great Zhou Dynasty. That was why they hated Meng Chuan—who was the fastest G.o.dfiend in the world.
Meng Chuan wasn’t afraid of the demons. He wanted to protect the cities.
“Do a ruthless raid. Arrest and kill those who deserve it,” said Meng Chuan coldly. “As long as there’s sufficient evidence, I believe that no G.o.dfiend from Archean Mountain will make things difficult for me.”
“Alright, I’ll do it then.” Liu Qiyue had been by Meng Chuan’s side for many years. She had killed countless people, and she was similarly bloodthirsty.
“We’ll do a raid every one or two years,” said Meng Chuan. “As long as Archean Mountain doesn’t transfer us away, we’ll do it! I believe that Master will support us.”
Liu Qiyue smiled. “Okay.”
The head of the Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch angrily said, “Who are you? How dare you come to my Yan family and act so impudently?”
A bearded G.o.dfiend led a group of soldiers to charge in. The bearded G.o.dfiend held a token in his hand as he coldly said, “Marchioness Calmmoon ordered us to capture criminals and take Yan Xiu away.”
“Orders from Marchioness Calmmoon?”
The Yan family was stunned.
In Jiang State Capital, Marchioness Calmmoon had the highest authority. G.o.dfiends, armies, and the government office had to obey her orders.
“Take him away,” a tall, skinny G.o.dfiend ordered. The soldiers charged forward.
“I’m Xiao Yu. My grandfather is the Xiao family’s Grand Elder,” shouted a thin man loudly. However, his subordinates did not dare resist the G.o.dfiends. The great Young Master Xiao Yu was also arrested.
“Walk.”
“Arrest them.” Numerous guards were dispatched to arrest people. Arrests were made across the entire Jiang State Capital.
For those with high statuses, they might resist with greater force; therefore, the teams were led by G.o.dfiends. Ordinary soldiers captured those with relatively ordinary statues.
Almost every G.o.dfiend family clan had members arrested. Even Meng Chuan’s Meng family had two juniors arrested.
“Please pa.s.s the message. Our Patriarch wishes to meet Clan Leader Meng Dajiang.” At the entrance of Meng Manor, an old steward of the Yan family came forward and politely said, “Our clan leader and Clan Leader Meng are good friends.” “Sorry.” The guard at the entrance of Meng Manor politely said, “The clan leader went into seclusion last night. We were given instructions not to disturb him.”
“Seclusion? When will he exit seclusion?” The old steward’s expression changed slightly. “The clan leader said that it would take at least ten days to a year or so,” explained the Meng Manor guard.
The old steward could only turn around and walk towards the nearby carriage.
“Let’s go back.” In the carriage, the Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch leader had a livid expression.
“Please inform…”
“I’m sorry, our clan leader went into seclusion last night and instructed us not to disturb him.”
“Clan Leader went into seclusion last night.”
All the factions in Jiang State Capital came to seek an audience. They couldn’t meet the two Marquis G.o.dfiends, so they tried to meet the Meng family’s clan leader, Meng Dajiang. However, even Meng Dajiang had announced his seclusion.
“The Meng family is crazy. They don’t even give us face.” “I heard that the Xiao family’s clan leader personally went to pay a visit to Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, but ended up having a bunch of dossiers thrown at him. The Xiao family’s clan leader returned dejectedly. Marquis Eastcalm doesn’t even give the Xiao family any face.”
“The Xiao family has been rooted in Jiang State Capital for thousands of years and has infiltrated many areas. Many members of the Xiao family who were arrested this time are of high status. They are obviously anxious.”
All the major family clans in the city were engaged in a flurry of discussion. Too many people had been arrested.
“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are crazy. Do they really think they can do whatever they want after becoming Marquis G.o.dfiends?” Yan family’s Jiang River Hall branch leader was infuriated. “I’ll write to my grandfather now.”
“Meng Chuan and his wife have angered everyone. Just wait. They will suffer.”
“Our lineage has thousands of clansmen in Jiang State Capital, so we naturally have to show our grat.i.tude and authority to each other. Without deterrence, there’s no way we can do anything. It’s inevitable to kill some people. As G.o.dfiends, why would Meng Chuan and his wife interfere with mortal matters?”
