Virtually all Archean Mountain inner sect disciples became Great Solar Godfiends given enough time. However, Archean Mountain only had over 1000 Godfiends! The Great Zhou Dynasty had 23 states, which contained 430 prefectures in total.
Apart from Meng Chuan, Yang Fang, Xue Feng, and the other Great Solar Godfiends—that had as much strength as a weak Marquis Godfiend—only two Godfiend teams were assigned to each prefecture under normal circumstances.
Each team consisted of one Archean Mountain Great Solar Godfiend, one outer sect Great Solar Godfiend, and two Indestructible Godfiends that complimented their strengths perfectly.
The two Godfiend teams protected their assigned prefecture permanently. If they had insufficient strength, they could request for help! A rescue team would assist the Godfiend teams when help was requested. Meng Chuan and his wife were a fairly powerful rescue team.
If the threat were beyond Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue, a Marquis Godfiend would aid them personally.
...
From the lower to the upper echelons, this layered reinforcement system made the humans’ overall situation stable. However, one thing couldn’t be changed—the fact that Godfiends numbered less than demon monarchs!
Therefore, the Demon Realm had set a rule—all third Firmament demon monarchs in the human world were to attack cities individually! With many simultaneous attacks, the Godfiends would have too many problems to deal with. These simultaneous attacks also probed each prefecture’s combat forces, giving the demons vital information.
...
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan’s speed as a bolt of lightning was astonishing. He rushed everywhere at lightning speed, but he still felt powerlessness. This was because more and more places were requesting help. It had gone from three county cities requesting help to five! Furthermore, he saw smoke rising from various village forts as he was on the way to these county cities! Second Firmament demon monarchs scattered and attacked these village forts.
Meng Chuan could easily kill these weak demon monarchs, but the dead couldn’t be revived.
“Dad, Dad!”
“Mom!”
“Sister!”
In each village fort Meng Chuan had saved, crying could be heard. This village fort originally had a population of around 3000, but over half were dead! The fort castle had mostly been reduced to rubble. The people that hid in the deep tunnels only survived because Meng Chuan had saved them.
After they left the tunnels, they saw their ruined village and deceased relatives. What kind of despair did they feel after seeing such scenes?
All I can do is slay demons. Meng Chuan felt sad as well, but he could do nothing else. He rushed everywhere, killing the demons monarchs without mercy and left devastating scenes behind.
...
Third Firmament demon monarchs are dying in battle? An avian demon monarch held a token and used it to sense the other demon monarchs’ statuses. In just a short while, five third Firmament demon monarchs had already died in battle!
This left the demon monarch trembling.
I’ve killed thousands of mortals. I have to destroy the tunnels next, but I’ll be too slow. It’s about time for me to retreat. It immediately spread its wings and quickly soared into the sky. It had attacked the county city very suddenly as well. It had flown high above the city and carpet-bombed it with its demonic powers. It managed to kill many mortals as the city’s residents frantically fled towards the tunnels. The demon monarch killed thousands of humans after a single trip around the city.
...
“Six third Firmament demon monarchs are dead? Let’s go!”
...
“Retreat!”
...
“The Godfiends have killed six third Firmament demon monarchs! Gu Mountain Prefecture’s Godfiends are really strong. Quickly retreat!”
...
As Meng Chuan and the two Godfiend teams rapidly killed the third Firmament demon monarchs, it caused the remaining third Firmament demon monarchs to retreat.
Mmm?
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed on the treetops of Gaoyu County. Meng Chuan scanned Gaoyu County City. Although parts of Gaoyu County City were now ruined and smoke continued to rise, the county city had already calmed down.
The demon monarchs have left? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. I only found demon monarchs when the attacks first started. However, the demon monarchs at two of the places I went to had already fled.
He was extremely fast, but the battles at several places had already ended by the time he got there. In the county cities—which had populations of roughly 100,000—the demon monarch had killed only a few thousand humans. None destroyed the tunnels to kill the hiding mortals; instead, they immediately retreated.
Next city. Meng Chuan quickly rushed to the next county city.
...
The demon monarchs in Gu Mountain Prefecture were led by Demon Monarch White Fox and Demon Monarch Greenjade since they were the strongest.
“Chase!” Godfiend Zhou Fu led his Godfiend team to pursue the green snake demoness.
The green demoness fled in panic.
“It wants to escape into the river.” The four-man Godfiend team was somewhat anxious. Snakes were naturally good at moving in the water. If this snake demoness entered the river, it would be difficult to kill it.
The green snake demoness had slaughtered many mortals in a county city, and the Godfiend team didn’t want her to escape.
Whoosh.
The green snake demoness finally arrived at the raging river water in harrowing fashion. Her body was submerged within the river, her tail faintly discernible. Her upper body appeared like a green-robed human woman. Her originally frightened look was gone. Instead, she looked at the Godfiend team with a faint smile as they pursued her. “Godfiends, do you really think I’m really afraid of you?”
Her snake tail gently swayed. The water in the boundless river surged into the air and surrounded a half-kilometer radius, trapping the Godfiend team.
Zhou Fu realized something was wrong after seeing the mystical movements. “This snake demoness hid its strength. Everyone, be careful!
“None of you will be able to escape today!” The snake demoness was extremely arrogant. Although she didn’t have a powerful background in the Demon Realm, her strength was far superior to Demon Monarch White Fox’s. This was the first time she had attacked in the human world, so she naturally wanted to kill a few Godfiends!
Back at the county city, when the Godfiend team attacked, the snake demoness immediately understood that she would only have a slight advantage in the county city’s environment. It would be impossible for her to kill the Godfiends there. Therefore, she feigned weakness and fled to the river. With the river’s aid, she had a chance of killing this Godfiend team.
“Activate forbidden spells and charge out,” Zhou Fu ordered.
The Godfiends didn’t hesitate to use forbidden Godfiend spells to charge out of the surrounding water with all their strength.
The snake demoness’s hair flailed as she brandished a black chain. The chains directed the water’s movements, sealing the area around the Godfiends.
“Senior Brother Zhou, we can’t escape!”
“This snake demoness’s domain is too powerful.”
“This snake demoness has probably reached the Realm of Dao.”
The Godfiends were imprisoned within the demoness’s domain. They couldn’t charge out, no matter what they did.
“Seek reinforcement!” Zhou Fu knew something was amiss and immediately gave orders via voice transmission. The four Godfiends used their identity tokens to request for help.
...
Demon Monarch White Fox was in a totally different situation. She wasn’t pursued by any Godfiends. She had taken human form and became a beautiful white-robed woman. Three white fur tails gently swayed as she leisurely strolled through the county city. The mortals hiding in the tunnels died silently as she walked past the approximate area.
She continued to stroll leisurely, causing people inside the tunnels to collapse to the ground.
“They are all hidden underground. Killing them would be troublesome,” muttered Demon Monarch White Fox softly. “Seven third Firmament demon monarchs have died. Almost half of the third Firmament demon monarchs in Gu Mountain Prefecture are dead. The other demon monarchs will probably be scared off. As for me, I haven’t even encountered a single Godfiend.”
A hint of grief could be seen on her beautiful face. She was the leader of the Gu Mountain Prefecture demon monarchs in name! If she were to retreat without even seeing a Godfiend, it would be very embarrassing.
Mmm? Demon Monarch White Fox suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance.
She could see a faint bolt of lightning in the distance.
It came closer and closer. The bolt of lightning was too fast! Within the lightning, one could see a black-robed youth with a saber by his waist. He had a solemn aura as he glared at Demon Monarch White Fox coldly.
Lightning? Meng Chuan? Demon Monarch White Fox immediately recognized the person. Her beautiful face paled. Although she wanted to kill a few Godfiends, she had long heard of Meng Chuan’s name. The demons had long collected intelligence on Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan and two other Archean Mountain Godfiends had jointly killed fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord—who was stronger than them. Demon Monarch White Fox obviously knew about his strength.
I wanted a small fish, so why did a shark come? Demon Monarch White Fox panicked.
