The contents of the first letter were like a bolt from the blue, completely stunning Meng Chuan.
After reading the contents of the letter in a daze, he immediately flipped through the second letter, third letter, fourth letter...
“What’s wrong?” Liu Qiyue noticed something amiss with Meng Chuan. “Ah Chuan, what’s wrong with you?”
After reading the five letters, Meng Chuan sat there woodenly.
Liu Qiyue immediately picked up the letters and read them. “How is that possible? Impossible! Th-This...”
D-dad colluded with the Skydemon Sect? Meng Chuan refused to believe it. He carefully recalled his childhood. Dad served in the military for a full ten years. He’s fought with the demons again and again. Mom was killed by the demons. Dad hates the demons to the bone. How can he collude with the Skydemon Sect?
Dad taught me since I was young; that’s why I’m here today. I know he despised demons. It can’t be fake. How can he collude with the Skydemon Sect?
The more Meng Chuan recalled about his father, the more he found it impossible.
But Earth Net has investigated and said that the evidence is irrefutable. Father took the initiative to confess? Meng Chuan pondered. Could there be some secret I don’t know?
“Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue shouted.
Meng Chuan woke up from his thoughts.
Liu Qiyue looked at her husband. Her husband’s eyes were filled with tears as he stood dazedly. Clearly, the agitation from reading the five letters was too great. He lost his mother when he was six years old, and his father had brought him up. Meng Chuan’s relationship with his father was extremely deep. He couldn’t accept the fact that his father had colluded with the Skydemon Sect.
“Ah Chuan!” Liu Qiyue shouted.
Oh? Meng Chuan finally snapped to his senses. However, he couldn’t help but recall the past.
“There must be something wrong with this,” added Liu Qiyue. “For Father-in-law to be in charge of Earth Net’s intelligence network in Eastcalm Prefecture, Archean Mountain must have investigated his background thoroughly. They are very trusting of him. How did this accusation of him colluding with the Skydemon Sect arise?”
Meng Chuan nodded.
“We know Father-in-law’s personality very well. He definitely isn’t someone who will collude with the demons,” said Liu Qiyue. “If he had that kind of personality, he wouldn’t be able to nurture you, Ah Chuan.”
“Where’s Father-in-law?” Meng Chuan asked. “Father-in-law and my father are life-and-death brothers. He definitely knows more.”
“Yes, I’ll get my dad.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
...
Although it was late at night, Liu Yebai was still woken up.
Under the candlelight, Liu Yebai finished reading the five letters. He shook his head and said solemnly, “Impossible! Dajiang will definitely not collude with the Skydemon Sect. I dare make a bet with my life.”
Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that.
“I’m very clear of Dajiang’s whereabouts,” said Liu Yebai solemnly. “He and I were both assassins under the Demon Annihilation Guild. We carried out the Demon Annihilation Guild’s missions to pursue the Skydemon Sect. Usually, we run a restaurant in Eastcalm Prefecture and teach the two of you. He abhors evil and hates demons to the bone... I have fought shoulder to shoulder with him many times. There’s no way I read him wrong.
“Most importantly, it’s impossible for him to collude with the Skydemon Sect for extended periods without being discovered by me,” said Liu Yebai. “I’m also a Godfiend. Furthermore, I’m good at scouting and hiding. Thirty years have passed. I’ve been friends with him for thirty years. We have a life-and-death relationship. How can he hide his collusion from me if he colludes with the Skydemon Sect?
“Eastcalm Prefecture’s Skydemon Sect branch has long been destroyed. Back then, we discovered many dossiers, but we didn’t discover anything related to your father,” added Liu Yebai.
Meng Chuan nodded.
The Skydemon Sect’s Eastcalm branch was ultimately destroyed because of him.
“We have been friends for 30 years. How can I be wrong about his temperament?” Liu Yebai firmly believed in him. “There must be a problem! Your dad will definitely not collude with the Skydemon Sect!”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“But the evidence is irrefutable. It’s strange that your father took the initiative to admit it,” Liu Yebai said.
“I’ll find out the truth.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“What are you going to do?” Liu Yebai asked. “Tell me. Qiyue and I will help you think about it too.”
Liu Qiyue added, “This matter has to be done quickly. Wu State has already reported this to Archean Mountain. Once Archean Mountain confirms this, it will be troublesome.”
...
After discussing with his wife and father-in-law, Meng Chuan gradually calmed down.
“Ah Chuan, you have to be careful this time to prevent any conspiracy,” said Liu Qiyue.
“Remember not to go against Archean Mountain!” Liu Yebai exhorted.
“Don’t worry.” Meng Chuan said, “I believe Archean Mountain will not malign my father.”
“What if we were wrong?” Liu Yebai suddenly said.
Meng Chuan was taken aback. The scene of countless people being slaughtered by demon monarchs in recent years surfaced in his mind—countless corpses. He whispered, “If we’re wrong, and my father really colluded with the Skydemon Sect? I have nothing to say.”
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan streaked across the sky as a bolt of lightning, heading towards Wu State Capital.
Liu Qiyue and Liu Yebai watched from afar.
“Don’t worry. With Meng Chuan’s contributions, Archean Mountain will definitely be very cautious,” said Liu Yebai. “By asking Meng Chuan that last question, it clearly shows that he’s not a foolish person.”
“Yes,” said Liu Qiyue. “I only hope that Father-in-law is indeed maligned and we can clear his name. If he really colluded with the Skydemon Sect and got executed, it would be a huge blow to Ah Chuan.”
“Dajiang won’t be a traitor,” Liu Yebai repeated and looked into the distance silently.
...
In the dead of night, a crescent moon hung high in the sky. Cold moonlight scattered across the ground.
Swoosh.
A figure flew over from the sky. It flickered several times in the sky above Wu State Capital, but it never landed. It traversed more than 50 kilometers.
Ever since he grasped the electromagnetic domain, Meng Chuan could fly! He traveled at full speed from Gu Mountain Prefecture. In the past, he was already fast. After reaching the Divine Power realm, he became even faster in the form of lightning. In a flash, he had already traveled three kilometers.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan landed on a tree crown in Xiangshan Garden. The divine eye at his glabella opened.
Divine power—Divine Eye of Lightning!
The electromagnetic field expanded rapidly. He could probe everything 2.5 kilometers around him. He could even probe a quarter-kilometer deep underground. The entirety of Xiangshan Garden became visible to him, so it was only natural that he found the dungeons.
Dad. Meng Chuan discovered Meng Dajiang.
Meng Dajiang sat cross-legged by the wall of the dungeon, handcuffed. His hair was disheveled, and he looked dispirited.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan moved and arrived outside the dungeon. Guards guarded the entrance.
“Who is it?” the guards roared angrily, but they no longer dared to make a sound. This was because when they saw the distant youth, they only felt an inexplicable sense of fear.
“Who dares trespass the dungeon?” The two Godfiends guarding the dungeon appeared. They immediately saw a youth not far away. The youth was standing there with a saber by his waist.
“Senior Brother Meng is here?” The two Godfiends felt their hearts tighten.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One figure after another appeared. Xiangshan Garden wasn’t huge, and it was heavily guarded. At that moment, more Godfiends arrived. However, when they saw Meng Chuan, they exchanged looks.
Meng Chuan looked at the eight Godfiends and said, “I’m Meng Chuan. I wish to meet my father.”
The eight Godfiends fell silent. Following that, an elder Godfiend took the initiative to make way for the dungeon entrance behind him.
Upon seeing this, Godfiends immediately made way.
“The dungeon is a very important place. You are not allowed to trespass.” A female Godfiend could not help but say, “Senior Brother Meng, you are not allowed to trespass.”
“Junior Sister Wang.” Her companions grabbed her and pulled her to the side. They smiled and said, “Senior Brother Meng is a Patroller. He’s entering the dungeon to interrogate a prisoner for his investigations on demon monarchs. We have to cooperate.”
“Yes, yes, yes. Earth Net will cooperate with Patrollers,” said the Godfiends.
The only stubborn female Godfiend was also held back by her companion.
“Thank you, everyone,” said Meng Chuan when he saw them make way for him.
“It’s only right.”
“We have to cooperate with Senior Brother Meng,” said one Godfiend after another.
Under the attention of the Godfiends, Meng Chuan walked into the dungeon.
