Meng An continued, “Dad, Mom. When we read the dossier last night, we saw that the demon monarchs had completely destroyed Cloud State’s Cangyu County City. The county city was completely abandoned. Sis and I thought for an entire night and wanted to pay a visit to Cangyu County.”
“That’s it?” Meng Chuan continued eating calmly.
“According to the dossier, most of the county city’s population has been killed. Out of the original 10,000 people, only less than 2,000 survived. They now live in the wilderness and have completely abandoned Cangyu County City.” Meng You’s eyes were red as he said,” We want to take a look.”
“How did Cloud State’s intelligence get to you?” Meng Chuan looked at his wife, Liu Qiyue. Liu Qiyue explained, “The total abandonment of Cangyu County City naturally has to be reported to the other states, so it was specially sent over.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
Liu Qiyue sent another voice transmission. “Ah Chuan, You’er and An’er have always lived in Jiang State Capital. They haven’t seen demon monarchs slaughtering humans. Do you want them to see it?”.
“They’re already so old. It’s time to broaden their horizons,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission. “You need to continue guarding Jiang State Capital. You can’t leave. Leave it to me.”
“Don’t you need to carry out underground reconnaissance?” asked Liu Qiyue via voice transmission.
Meng Chuan sent another voice transmission. “I’ll accompany You’er and An’er for two hours. It’s not a big deal. I’ll just come back one hour later tonight.”
The couple settled the matter via voice transmissions.
Meng Chuan looked at his children. “Are you sure you want to take a look?”.
“Yes.” Meng You and Meng An nodded with reddened eyes. From a young age, they had heard of how terrifying the demons were. Everywhere in the world had been attacked, and the three dynasties were suffering. However, they lived in Jiang State Capital and experienced a peaceful childhood. This made them very curious about the world outside Jiang State Capital. After reading several dossiers for the past few months, they had been compelled to take a look.
“Alright.” Meng Chuan stood up. “Let’s go and take a look at the real world.”
“The real world?” Meng You and Meng An were taken aback.
Whoosh.
The twins suddenly felt an invisible force envelop their bodies as they rapidly moved. They looked down and saw Jiang State Capital gradually shrink.
“There’s no need to go to Cangyu County.” Meng Chuan flew at high speeds with his children. He said, “Cangyu County City has been abandoned, and the corpses have long been cleaned up by Earth Net. It’s meaningless for you to see an abandoned county city. What you want to see are... the things described in the dossier, right?”
“Yes.” Meng You and Meng An nodded.
“Okay.”
Meng Chuan rapidly flew towards the middle of the Great Zhou Dynasty with his children. There were too many demon monarchs in the human world. After flying aimlessly for more than 1,500 kilometers, Meng Chuan saw beacon smoke rising from a county city. Two demon monarchs were attacking it. “Over there,” said Meng Chuan. The siblings were still in a daze. Their eyesight was far inferior to Meng Chuan’s.
Swoosh.
In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan brought the twins to more than five kilometers away and arrived above the county city.
The twins were ultimately at the Impervious realm. Now, they could see it clearly!
They saw an ugly pig demon that was more than 30 feet tall. It was holding two huge axes. There was also a snake demon monarch. It was surrounded by green poisonous fog.
At that moment, corpses could be seen everywhere in the county city. Hundreds of halved corpses littered a region. Fresh blood flowed like a stream. In another region, hundreds of human bodies had been corroded by poison. Their corpses were deformed or bloated. Hundreds of corpses had pained expressions. It was a nightmare.
There were several similar scenes. Clearly, more than 1,000 people had been massacred in this county city. They had not managed to escape in time.
“What is that?” The two demon monarchs stared in horror at the three figures floating in midair.
“How did the Godfiends get here so fast?”
“We haven’t even attacked the city for 60 seconds.”
The two demon monarchs found it unbelievable.
Pa! Pa!
Lightning tore through the void and struck the two demon monarchs, killing them on the spot. This lightning had been naturally formed by Meng Chuan’s electromagnetic domain, but it was enough to kill two second Firmament demon monarchs.
“Th-This...” Meng You and Meng An looked at the scene in front of them. They were unable to dream of such a tragic scene even in their worst nightmares.
An attack carried out by demon monarchs was different from an attack carried out by ordinary demons. Demon monarch attacks were of larger scale and more tragic. For example, several hundred people had been sliced in half at their waist; it was obvious that it was the result of a single attack.
“Ugh.” Meng You and Meng An were about to vomit. This was an instinctual reaction to such gore. However, they could prevent themselves from vomiting with their Impervious realm cultivation.
“This county city only had more than 1,000 people slaughtered. It’s considered a small number.” Meng Chuan looked down and said indifferently, “This is because people in county cities are already used to such attacks. They can hide in deep underground tunnels at the fastest speed possible. Earth Net personnel will also light up beacons as soon as possible. However, it takes time for Godfiends to arrive. It just so happens that we were passing by. That’s why these two demon monarchs couldn’t continue their massacre for longer. Otherwise, these two demon monarchs would’ve probably destroyed some tunnels and killed more people before leaving.”
“This is considered a small number?” Meng You and Meng An’s legs turned limp.
“Back then, I presided over Jiang State Capital with other Godfiends when the demon monarchs invaded,” said Meng Chuan. “Back then, the attack was led by a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord. Many Godfiends died that day. More than 100,000 people were killed in Jiang State Capital, and that was considered a great victory! If we hadn’t fended off Blackwater Palace Lord, Jiang State Capital’s losses would’ve been more than ten times worse.
“Every place in the world suffers attacks. There have been quite a number of cases where cities with a population of hundreds of thousands were massacred completely.
“The scene you see right now is very common. Your mother and I have seen too much.”
Meng You and Meng An’s faces turned pale. Although they had heard many stories and had read many dossiers, seeing it with their own eyes was completely different.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
An Earth Net soldier quickly rushed out and bowed respectfully towards Meng Chuan.
“Let’s go.” Meng Chuan left the wilderness with his children.
At a glance, one couldn’t see anybody in the wilderness.
“Look, beneath that bush is an underground cave that has been dug out.” Meng Chuan pointed to a spot. The siblings noticed it from his description.
“Five people are living inside,” said Meng Chuan. “There are more than ten families in this area of weed. They have long been dug out. The weed growing on the surface is used as concealment.”
The siblings took a careful look and saw a patch of weed. Two dirty-looking children were looking up into the sky through the weed.
The two children’s eyes caused the siblings’ hearts to tremble.
“Children are not allowed to come out without the permission of their elders,” said Meng Chuan indifferently. “Only when an elder patrols the surroundings will the child come out to bask in the sunlight. Being able to walk on land is a great blessing for them.”
Swoosh!
Meng Chuan brought his children to a lake.
Through the lake reeds, they could see boats connected together when they approached.
“Each boat houses a family. The seven or eight families here will support each other,” said Meng Chuan. “Many people are living on boats in the world. Many families living along the East Sea’s coast will head into the sea.”
There were women washing clothes at the bow of the boat. There was also a child practicing his fighting moves. His moves were clumsy, but he was very serious with his training
“They don’t have a Dao Academy. They only have their elders to guide them,” said Meng Chuan calmly. “No matter how talented they are, what kind of cultivation can they achieve in such an environment?”
The siblings watched the child at the bow of the boat seriously cultivate. They felt that they would never forget this scene for the rest of their lives.
“Let’s go.”
Meng Chuan had seen too much. Therefore, he did not feel tired despite flying 12 hours a day underground. He pursued the demons relentlessly.Whoosh.
Meng You and Meng An did not say a word as they flew with him.
As they flew past a prefecture city, they could see that the prefecture city’s large population made the city bustle with activity. Finally, they saw Jiang State Capital. As one of the ten most populated cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Jiang State Capital—which had a population of more than ten million—was a bustling and prosperous city. However, the siblings looked at Jiang State Capital with mixed feelings.
In this cruel and nightmare-like world, a place like Jiang State Capital was like a dream.
“Humans are extremely resilient. A prefecture city’s population is only a small portion of the human race,” said Meng Chuan calmly. “More than half of the population in the world is scattered in the wilderness. What we Godfiends need to do is make the world as peaceful as Jiang State Capital so that everyone can live a peaceful life.”
“Can we do it?” Meng An asked.
Meng You looked at her father with a hesitant look.
Meng Chuan said calmly, “Just killing all the demons in the world would do.”
