Chapter 341 Everywhere

Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.

At the summit of a mountain, clouds swirled around a building. Bai Yaoyue sat cross-legged on the top platform of the nine-story building. Her eyes were filled with anger as two illusory figures flew over from afar.

“Junior Sister Bai, what’s the matter?” an illusory Meng Tiange and an illusory Mi Yu flew over.

“Xue Feng is dead,” Bai Yaoyue said coldly.

“How is that possible?” Meng Tiange asked anxiously.

“Archean Mountain just informed me that Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate killed him outside Windflow City,” said Bai Yaoyue.

The purple-robed Mi Yu couldn’t help but say, “Archean Mountain is really useless. They already made a deal with our Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. They even accepted our 3,000 iron stone beasts, but they couldn’t even keep Xue Feng alive!”

“According to Archean Mountain’s explanation, they had already given Xue Feng a protective bracelet refined by Imperial Lord Undying. Although Yellow Oscillate is a fifth Firmament demon monarch body after its possession, it can still unleash the strength of a newly-advanced Creation Supremacy. In a few seconds, it struck out repeatedly. The strength contained in the protective bracelet was exhausted, and Xue Feng lost his life.”

Meng Tiange sighed and said, “Xue Feng is ultimately a Marquis Godfiend. Such a treasure will only produce limited strength if only his Darkstar Quintessential Essence is powering it. He can only rely on the bracelet’s strength.”

“It took so many years for our Black Sand lineage to find a genius that can become a Supremacy.” Mi Yu was somewhat angry. “Archean Mountain is nothing but trash. Since we made a deal, they should’ve protected Xue Feng’s life as best they could. For example, let Xue Feng stay on the mountain and not guard cities.”

“They didn’t manage to protect Xue Feng, but they took away 3,000 iron stone beasts,” said Meng Tiange coldly. “It’s not easy for our Halberd Hall to refine 3,000 iron stone beasts. Archean Mountain needs to answer to us.”

“They are now acting thick-skinned and refuse to return the 3,000 iron stone beasts,” said Bai Yaoyue coldly. “However, they have to give us a satisfactory explanation.”

“I’ll never be satisfied now that Xue Feng is dead,” said Mi Yu angrily.

Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s style was completely different from that of Archean Mountain.

Archean Mountain disciples were relatively free to do what they wanted. Disciples with similar strength had relatively equal status. As for Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, its rules were strict and harsh. The internal hierarchy was also strict and unforgiving. Xue Feng would have enjoyed a higher status in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, giving him many special privileges. It was even possible that he wouldn’t have needed to do anything too dangerous. They would arrange some relatively easier missions for him. They would only let him roam free when they were certain that he had enough strength to protect himself.

“Since we’ve lost him, so be it.” Bai Yaoyue shook her head. “Let’s nurture our disciples ourselves.”

“At the end of the day, it’s all because of the ordinary demon monarchs,” said Meng Tiange with a frown. “With one million ordinary demon monarchs attacking everywhere, Marquis Godfiends have to use their full strength to defend an entire city. Naturally, their locations will be exposed. Some powerful demon monarchs will launch sneak attacks. Over the past two years, seven Marquis Godfiends have died in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven.”

“In order to protect the entire world, we have also lost many Patroller Godfiends.” Mi Yu felt a little pained.

“There are over a million demon monarchs in the world.” Bai Yaoyue’s expression was solemn. “Furthermore, tens of thousands of demon monarchs will enter every year to make up for the dead demon monarchs. The pressure they bring us is immense, be it when they attack cities or hunt mortals. Ancient Regis Godfiends don’t dare to enter deep sleep due to the million demon monarchs. Marquis Godfiends are in danger of dying. Many patrolling Godfiends are risking their lives.”

“We can only place our hopes on King White Treasure now,” said Meng Tiange. “King White Treasure’s self-created ultimate technique, Nine Heavens Ten Earth, is good for underground reconnaissance. If he reaches the Grotto-Heaven realm, his underground reconnaissance range will increase greatly. His speed will also increase greatly. He will be ten times faster at killing demon monarchs.”

“He’s at the peak of the Dharma Domain realm. Furthermore, it’s too difficult for those of the Samsara lineage to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm.” Bai Yaoyue shook her head gently. “Despite staying in the World Gap for some time, he still failed to make a breakthrough.”

Meng Tiange nodded. “In terms of combat strength, the demons are far inferior. They can only hide. However, there are too many ordinary demon monarchs. In a few decades, the Demon Realm will probably produce more demon monarchs. Perhaps another million demon monarchs will be sent to enter our world.”

Bai Yaoyue and Mi Yu remained silent.

This was a huge problem. It frustrated the three sects.

Duyang City.

In the courtyard, King Calm Sea sat cross-legged and pondered his Spring Autumn Tribulation. King Calm Sea spent most of his time cultivating when demon monarchs weren’t attacking the city. Spring Autumn Tribulation. King Calm Sea looked into the void. Time seemed visible in his eyes.

Swoosh.

An avian demon monarch flew over and left after throwing an envelope to him.

King Calm Sea caught the envelope. Archean Mountain’s letter? King Calm Sea opened the envelope and took out the letter.

King Calm Sea’s staid, mountain-like body trembled slightly. Even his right hand that held the letter couldn’t help but tremble, but it quickly stabilized. King Calm Sea’s eyes turned even darker. He stared at the letter for more than 30 seconds. He remained motionless as he stared at it.

“Feng’er, rest in peace.” King Calm Sea’s voice was hoarse. The letter in his hand silently disintegrated. “As your father, I will definitely kill Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate!” King Calm Sea closed his eyes. After a long while, he opened his eyes and continued cultivating the Spring Autumn Tribulation.

Night fell.

After carrying out underground reconnaissance for an entire day, Meng Chuan returned to his home in Jiang State Capital.

“Ah Chuan, why are you back so late today?” Liu Qiyue asked with a smile. “The food is ready.”

Meng Chuan walked to the dining table in the hall. The aroma of food filled the air, but Meng Chuan didn’t have any appetite. “What’s wrong?” Liu Qiyue asked. She realized that something was amiss with her husband. In the past, Meng Chuan would only appear mentally exhausted from maintaining his Divine Eye of Lightning for 12 hours, but he would still be filled with fighting spirit

“Xue Feng is dead,” said Meng Chuan. “It happened at noon today.”

“Senior Brother Xue?” Liu Qiyue couldn’t believe it. “Didn’t Senior Brother Xue already reach the Dharma Domain realm?”

“Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate infiltrated the human world via possession. Although he’s currently a fifth Firmament demon monarch, his strength is extremely terrifying. He’s even stronger than King Calm Sea. Xue Feng couldn’t escape at all,” said Meng Chuan hoarsely. “I’m a little tired. I’ll get some

rest.”

Liu Qiyue nodded. “Alright.” She didn’t have much contact with Xue Feng. Many Godfiends died during wartime. The more familiar she was with a dead Godfiend, the more affected she was. Back when Marquis Heavenstar died in battle, Liu Qiyue was disconsolate for a long time. As for Xue Feng, Liu Qiyue felt sad, but she wasn’t strongly affected by his death like Meng Chuan.

The bedroom.

Meng Chuan lay on the bed and closed his eyes while hugging the blanket. He had emotions too. He wasn’t really numb to such things. Every day, when he hunted underground demon monarchs, he would often receive help requests from patrolling Godfiends. However, most of the time, he would see the patrolling Godfiends’ corpses when he arrived.

He mourned over and over again. This time, he arrived to see Demon Sage Yellow Oscillate kill Xue Feng from afar. There was nothing he could’ve done to stop it.

Meng Chuan was tired. His heart was tired.

Liu Qiyue silently walked into the room and saw that her husband was asleep like a child. Meng Chuan hugged the blanket; tears could be seen at the corner of his eyes.

Ah Chuan is also tired. Liu Qiyue lay beside him and leaned against Meng Chuan as she fell asleep. They trod a difficult path, but at least, the couple could tread this path with each other.

When Meng Chuan opened his eyes, it was already late at night. His exhaustion from using the Divine Eye of Lightning had vanished. His intense emotions had also faded after sleeping.

“You’re up?” Liu Qiyue woke up.

“Yes, I’ll go spend some time in the study.” Meng Chuan smiled and kissed his wife. “I’m good now. I’m still filled with a fighting

spirit.”

Liu Qiyue smiled and nodded.

After waking up, Meng Chuan went to the study and lit the lamp.

Whoosh. He placed a piece of paper on the table and pressed it down. He then mixed the paint and looked at the paper in front of him.

He wanted to use his painting skills to remember some people and matters. These people and matters shouldn’t and couldn’t be forgotten, forever.
