Chapter 466 - Twenty-Two Years Later (1/2)

Time pa.s.sed.

In the blink of an eye, 22 years had pa.s.sed since the battle in the World Gap.

The Great Zhou Dynasty’s Jiang State.

A merchant caravan with hundreds of people was advancing on a main road. A group of children sat on the two mule carts in the caravan. There were over ten children in total.

“It wasn’t easy for us to join the caravan as they made their way to Jiang State. Kids like you shouldn’t cause any trouble. If you anger the caravan owners, they will chase us away,” said a linen-clothed man who was driving the mule cart. “When the time comes, we won’t be able to bring you to Jiang State Capital that’s hundreds of kilometers away.”

“Yes, yes.”

“We will be very obedient.”

The children nodded immediately. “Uncle Liu, Uncle Zhang, we’re going to Jiang State Capital’s Green Elm Dao Academy. It’s said that King Feather Dragon, a G.o.dfiend, cultivated in Green Elm Dao Academy when he was young. Is that true?” asked a boy. Immediately, the children on the two mule carts p.r.i.c.ked up their ears and looked at the adults in antic.i.p.ation.

“Haha.” A youth with a saber walked beside the mule cart. He laughed and said, “It’s true. King Feather Dragon attended Green Elm Dao Academy when he was young. He is the son of King Eastcalm and Queen Calmmoon. He cultivated at Green Elm Dao Academy. This Green Elm Dao Academy is definitely one of the best Dao Academies in the world. It’s most suitable for children like you to study there. The entire fort selected the 16 of you to go there. You have to cultivate well when you are at Green Elm Dao Academy.”

“I know, I know.”

“King Eastcalm’s family is truly impressive. They have three Regis G.o.dfiends.”

“King Eastcalm is the most powerful G.o.dfiend in the world. He alone wiped out a million demon monarchs in the world.” The group of children discussed. Nearly 40 years had pa.s.sed since Meng Chuan resolved the threat of the million demon monarchs. King Eastcalm’s reputation had risen as time pa.s.sed. He was extremely famous now.

“Uncle, I heard that Jiang State Capital is 100 kilometers wide, right?” “Yes. From the eastern city gates to the western city gates, you won’t be able to cover it even if you walk from morning until night,” said the saber-wielding youth with a smile. “Furthermore, I heard that a powerful G.o.dfiend built Jiang State Capital’s city walls in half a month.”

“Half a month?” The children were dumbfounded.

As the elders chatted with the children, suddenly

“Quick, quick.”

From afar, a figure ran over and shouted, “Demons! Run ahead! Run ahead!”

The figure that flew over was also a Mortal Shedding realm expert. His shouts were loud, and almost the entire caravan heard it.

At first, the merchants were taken aback. They turned their heads and saw a black ‘line’ rapidly coming towards them.

“It’s the demons. Hurry up and leave.” The two Impervious realm experts in the caravan had excellent eyesight. Their expressions changed drastically once they saw this. They immediately shouted at the top of their voices.

Quick!

Quick!

The entire caravan went crazy. Many goods were abandoned as people fled in panic.

The black line in the distance quickly spread out. It was a dense horde of demons. The ones running in front were mainly greater demons and demon lieutenant commanders. Their speed was in no way inferior to those at the Impervious realm. They moved much faster than the entire caravan. The merchants were fleeing with all their might, but the demons behind them still closed in on them.

The demons were extremely ferocious as they ran with dismembered human corpses in hand.

“We’re too slow. We can’t escape.” The caravan was in a state of panic. Four of the adults on the two mule carts carried the children.

“Brother Liu, what should we do?”

“The G.o.dfiends will quickly arrive once they are notified. Hold on, hold on,” shouted Uncle Liu anxiously. It was already difficult for them to escape themselves. The 16 children from the fort only slowed them down even more.

The mule ran desperately as it pulled the cart, but it was much slower than the demons.

“We won’t be able to protect them. Every man for himself!” A skinny, hunchbacked man suddenly jumped out of the mule cart and fled into the distance.
