Chapter 279 - Demon Monarch Mo Nan’s Arrival (1/2)

The night was hazy, and the crescent moon hung high in the sky.

Meng Chuan flew high in the sky and looked down at the vast land. He could see the people who lived in the wilderness with his vision. Most of them hid when it was light outside and worked at night. As the adults worked, the children played by the side. Some practiced their fighting moves seriously.

“Hide when it’s light outside and work at night?” Meng Chuan muttered softly. “At night, the demon monarchs have reduced visibility. The night has become a form of protection. What a joke. All the cities have been abandoned.”

As Meng Chuan flew, he pa.s.sed by county and prefecture cities. They were all completely dark; this darkness left Meng Chuan feeling stifled.

There are only a few large cities left in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Meng Chuan finally saw a large city. There were more than ten million people in the bustling city, but everyone in the city was equally worried. The news of a million demon monarchs invading the human world had long spread.

The Great Zhou Dynasty, including the seven large city pa.s.ses, has a total of 61 large cities. The seven large city pa.s.ses—Luo Tang Pa.s.s included-had populations of over 20 million. Ever since the migration began, large city pa.s.ses—Calm Sea Pa.s.s, Swallow Mountain Pa.s.s, White Elephant Pa.s.s, etc.—had taken in over ten million people. Countless people in the wilderness live around the Great Zhou Dynasty’s 61 large cities. With large cities, there is hope. If they earn enough money, they can migrate to the city. If their children are talented enough, they can be sent to a Dao Academy for free. Even if their talent is average, they can spend money and send their children to a Dao Academy. The large cities are our hope. We have to protect them.

Meng Chuan looked down as he flew.

Down below, in an empty area, a child and a man sparred with each other.

Boom! A saber collided with another saber.

The child was sent flying backward and landed on the ground. A fierce look appeared in his eyes as he charged towards his father again.

“I’m stronger than you, so you shouldn’t have fought me head-on. In combat, you should use your strengths to attack the enemy’s weaknesses!” The man berated as he brandished his saber to suppress his son.

Pfft.

The child fell to the ground again. His forehead was full of sweat, and his face was bleeding.

The man shouted as he watched, “Again, as long as you master your basic saber techniques this year, you will be able to pa.s.s the Dao Academy’s a.s.sessment. I will sell everything I have and risk my life to send you to the city’s Dao Academy. If you can’t do it, you can spend the rest of your life in the wilderness with me. Don’t blame me for not giving you any hope in life.”

“Humph.” The child gritted his teeth and charged forward again.

High in the sky, Meng Chuan continued flying after watching this scene. He saw many similar scenes every day, but he was touched every time. He wanted to fulfill his dream of slaying all the demons in the world. If he succeeded, he would be extremely satisfied even if he lost his life. However, it was very difficult to achieve such a goal! The higher his cultivation was, the more he realized how difficult it was to kill all the demons in the world.

This is just a time of darkness. Dawn will arrive eventually.

Meng Chuan arrived back at Jiang State Capital. He ate dinner with his wife, Liu Qiyue, before entering seclusion.

Dong!

The Creation-realm alien corpse was directly placed in a chamber. G.o.dfiends cultivated in similar chambers. It was rather large, so the 30-foot-long corpse was easily accommodated.

A Creation-realm alien that mainly cultivates the body? Meng Chuan looked at the corpse carefully. The alien was covered in layers of black scales. Even its face was covered in black scales. However, a large portion of its chest had been sliced open. There were no scales at the chest; bits of flesh had been lopped off, and no blood could be seen.

At the alien’s cultivation realm, any injuries should have healed instantly. Meng Chuan inspected the corpse carefully. This chest has been sliced open. It’s like the scales were removed after the alien died. Perhaps Archean Mountain seniors were trying to refine something out of the alien’s corpse?

The scales of a Creation-realm alien—that mainly cultivated the body-were definitely extraordinary. Just a piece of armor made up of the alien’s scales would have a shocking value.

Buzz!

An invisible aura fluctuation emanated from the corpse. However, it was ultimately a dead object. Meng Chuan’s Darkstar domain could easily restrain the aura fluctuations.

Clang. Meng Chuan pulled out Demon Slayer.
