Chapter 397 - Nine-Day Prayer (1/2)

“You have figured out his ident.i.ty?” Imperial Lord Starquix’s eyes narrowed as the pressure he exuded intensified.

“Yes,” said Nine Abyss respectfully.

“I’m confident,” said Thousand Cricket.

“Who is it?” Imperial Lord Starquix asked coldly.

Thousand Cricket continued, “Archean Mountain disciple, Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan. Nine Abyss and I believe that Meng Chuan’s talent far exceeds what’s publicly known. He secretly became a Regis G.o.dfiend long ago. However, because he’s good at underground reconnaissance, humans have tried to conceal this and keep it under wraps.”

“Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan?” asked Imperial Lord Starquix. “Are you 100% confident? What I want is… 100% confidence.”

This was because he had to pay a huge price to attack the target. Last time, they had set up the Three Terminal Formation. Patriarch Yellow Oscillate and Demon Monarch Longswim had lost their lives and failed. He naturally had to pay a greater price to kill the G.o.dfiend this time.

If he killed the wrong person?

Thousand Cricket’s life wasn’t enough to make up his losses.

“Imperial Lord,” said Thousand Cricket respectfully, “I sought 3,000 demon monarchs and left karmic blood curses on them. They are scattered all over the human world. It was completely random. Now, 533 demon monarchs have died. Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, killed 527 of them.”

Nine Abyss added, “Without a token, it’s like searching for a needle in a haystack. I probably won’t be able to find 50 of those cursed demon monarchs in a month. Yet, Meng Chuan killed so many of them. He must be that G.o.dfiend that is extremely skilled at underground reconnaissance.” “Meng Chuan?” Imperial Lord Starquix fell silent before asking, “Does his daily lifestyle fit his underground reconnaissance schedule?”

“After confirming that it was him, I’ve often confirmed his location through the karmic blood curse,” said Demon Sage Thousand Cricket. “During the day, he is virtually all over the world. He’s at the bottom of the four seas, under the land—basically everywhere underground. As for our demon monarchs, they are mainly slaughtered during the day. It completely matches. At night, he returns to the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Jiang State Capital.”

“Underground-all over the world-during the day? Returns to Jiang State Capital at night?” Starquix nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his face. “Thousand Cricket, you did well.” “It’s my honor to serve the Imperial Lords.” Thousand Cricket bowed slightly.

Starquix smiled and looked at the two demon sages with satisfaction. Then, his figure in the pool disappeared.

…

Demon Realm.

The three Imperial Lords were gathered in Ice Palace, which floated in the sky.

“The intelligence on the human G.o.dfiend, Meng Chuan, is all here,” said Emperor Roc. “From the intelligence, Meng Chuan entered Archean Mountain by taking first place during their entrance examination. When he was a Great Solar G.o.dfiend, he joined forces with his companions to kill Blackwater Palace Lord of the Skydemon Sect not long after he left the mountain. This was because he was extremely fast and was good at rescuing people. The peak fourth Firmament demon monarch-Demon Monarch Blackrock-attacked Meng Chuan, but Blackrock failed in the end. Meng Chuan and his wife were immediately announced to have become Marquis G.o.dfiends.

“More than ten years later, our demons attacked human cities on a large scale. From his actions, we can confirm that he has the strength of a top Regis G.o.dfiend at the very least. I’m guessing that he was already a Regis G.o.dfiend by then,” said Emperor Roc. “In that case, it’s very likely that he has been a Regis G.o.dfiend for more than ten years.

“If his talent is as monstrous as speculated, he might reach the peak of the Seamless realm in ten years. With some special opportunities and powerful treasures, he can easily fight against the three-Yellow Oscillate and companyalone. Furthermore, he cultivates the lightning lineage. When Yellow Oscillate and North Sense attacked the mysterious G.o.dfiend, they also confirmed that the G.o.dfiend was skilled with lightning,” said Emperor Roc. “Indeed, Meng Chuan does match with all the information we have.”
