Chapter 234: Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue

The three Great Demon Kings exchanged glances. Then, as pre-arranged, Great Demon King Bican respectfully bowed and reported: "Reporting to the Demon Saint, I, your subordinate, command all demon kings within the Black Sand Dynasty. Over the past year, we have lost over 32,000 demon kings in battle and killed 75 human cultivators, including 39 Great Solar Godfiends from Black Sand Cave Heaven."

"Over 30,000 dead?" The elderly Demon Saint frowned slightly. "And only a few dozen Godfiends killed?"

"Of the demon kings lost in battle, 70% were Second-level Demon Kings, and 30% were Third-level Demon Kings," Great Demon King Bican respectfully stated. "Among them, five Fourth-level Demon Kings were killed."

The elderly Demon Saint asked, puzzled: "The Demon Realm decreed that Fourth-level Demon Kings were almost not to engage in combat during the first year. How could five of them have been killed? Furthermore, the casualty rate is much higher than the Demon Realm's original plan."

"There are many reasons. Humanity now highly values the life of every Godfiend," Great Demon King Bican explained. "Weaker Godfiends do not leave the Black Sand Cave Heaven. Those fighting outside are all elite Godfiend teams, the best of the best, and they are even equipped with life-saving artifacts. It is extremely difficult to annihilate a Godfiend team. As for the high number of demon king casualties... the main reason is Humanity's King Baiyu."

"King Baiyu?" The elderly Demon Saint nodded slightly.

"Yes," Great Demon King Bican continued. "King Baiyu specializes in large-scale underground reconnaissance. He constantly moves underground, sweeping and searching area by area. Many demon kings hiding in underground lairs were discovered by him. All five Fourth-level Demon Kings who died in battle were discovered by him. Among ordinary demon kings, 60% died by his hand alone. All Fourth-level Demon Kings perished because of him. I suggest we find a way to eliminate him! Otherwise, he will continue to slaughter our demon race."

Great Demon King Bican had a hint of expectation. If the Demon Saint were to act personally, a King Godfiend could naturally be slain.

The elderly Demon Saint calmly stated, "It is not yet time." Before his possession, he indeed possessed the power of a Demon Saint. But by possessing the body of a weaker demon king, he infiltrated the human world. Years of cultivation had only allowed him to recover to the Fifth-level Great Demon King tier, and most of his power stemmed from his physical body! He could only be considered 'almost invincible below the Creation realm' at present. He might be able to suppress King Baiyu, but killing him would not be easy. What if King Baiyu stalled him, drawing the attention of a Creation realm Venerable? He currently only possessed 30% of his peak strength. Encountering a Creation realm Venerable would mean certain death! For the Demon Saint, the lives of all demon kings who infiltrated the human world combined were not as important as his own. He was a Demon Saint! These lower-tier demon kings were expendable, regenerating like crops; how could their lives compare to his?

"Yes." Great Demon King Bican dared not speak further.

"And you two?" the elderly Demon Saint asked.

"Reporting to the Demon Saint," Great Demon King Muchong, whose skin resembled tree bark, respectfully bowed and reported, "I, your subordinate, command all demon kings within the Dayue Dynasty. Over the past year, over 21,000 demon kings have died in battle. Thirty percent were Third-level Demon Kings. Among them, two Fourth-level Demon Kings were killed. We killed 83 Godfiends, including 41 Great Solar Godfiends from Two World Island."

"That sounds better than the Black Sand Dynasty's report; fewer demon kings died, yet more accomplishments," the elderly Demon Saint nodded.

"Within the Dayue Dynasty, two Godfiends pose significant threats to the demon race," Great Demon King Muchong explained. "One is King Wuhuan. He can split into tens of thousands of mist clones to search for demons underground. Thirty percent of our losses within the Dayue Dynasty are due to him. The two Fourth-level Demon Kings who died in battle also perished because of him.

"The other is Marquis Fengyu. Marquis Fengyu possesses unparalleled speed, even faster than a King Godfiend. He alone guards three prefectures, and the number of demon kings he has slain is several times that of an ordinary King Godfiend."

The elderly Demon Saint listened and nodded, "This Marquis Fengyu, Great Demon King Muchong, do you have the confidence to kill him?"

"Fifty percent confidence," Great Demon King Muchong respectfully replied. The fact that he could command all demon kings in the entire Dayue Dynasty naturally meant he was a powerful Fourth-level Demon King who had infiltrated the human world a long time ago, possessing combat power comparable to a peak Marquis Godfiend.

"I will grant you the 'Black Cloud Miasma'," the elderly Demon Saint said.

"Ninety percent confidence." A hint of joy appeared in Great Demon King Muchong's eyes as he quickly added, "Unless he possesses an overly formidable life-saving artifact, he will surely die."

The Black Cloud Miasma... that was a treasure even Fifth-level Great Demon Kings coveted.

"Good." With a wave of his hand, the elderly Demon Saint sent a small cluster of flowing black clouds towards Great Demon King Muchong, who immediately accepted it. The elderly Demon Saint instructed, "Plan carefully, and act within a year to kill Marquis Fengyu."

"Yes." Great Demon King Muchong was excited. The Demon Saint was not concerned. As a Demon Saint, his own wealth was already astonishing. Furthermore, because he ventured into the human world, the Three Great Demon Emperors had bestowed gifts upon him, making his possessions several times greater than those of an ordinary Demon Saint.

"And you?" The elderly Demon Saint looked at the last one.

Great Demon King Heiyan respectfully reported: "Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, over 23,000 demon kings have died in battle, with about 30% being Third-level Demon Kings. Three Fourth-level Demon Kings were killed. Simultaneously, we killed 61 Godfiends, including 35 Great Solar Godfiends from Yuanchu Mountain."

The elderly Demon Saint listened intently.

"Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the greatest threat is King Zhenwu. King Zhenwu is rumored to possess means to glimpse the past, which he uses to locate demon king lairs. Nearly 20% of demon kings were killed by him alone, and two Fourth-level Demon Kings were also killed by him.

"Additionally, there is a pair of Great Solar Godfiend cultivators within the territory, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue," Great Demon King Heiyan added.

"Great Solar Godfiends?" The elderly Demon Saint was surprised.

"Although they are Great Solar Godfiends, they possess combat power comparable to Marquis Godfiends," Great Demon King Heiyan continued. "Moreover, Meng Chuan cultivates the Human Race's fastest technique, the Thunderclap Annihilation Demon Body, and his rescue range covers an entire prefecture. Over the past year, the number of demon kings killed by the couple should exceed a thousand, almost comparable to a King Godfiend's accomplishments. Furthermore, it is estimated that they could become Marquis Godfiends at any moment. Once they break through, their threat will increase sharply, becoming far greater than Marquis Fengyu."

"Do you have the confidence to eliminate the couple?" the elderly Demon Saint inquired.

"Meng Chuan poses a great threat to our demon race, and Yuanchu Mountain knows this. They will certainly bestow life-saving artifacts upon such an exceptional genius," Great Demon King Heiyan stated. "His wife, Liu Qiyue, can use Phoenix Nirvana, which will greatly boost her power. If I were to act, I'd only have a 50-60% chance of killing them. What truly worries me are the life-saving artifacts bestowed by Yuanchu Mountain."

The elderly Demon Saint smiled and nodded: "I will bestow the 'Dragon Water Domain' upon you. You should be confident now, right?"

"Over 90% confidence, unless Yuanchu Mountain's life-saving artifact is exceptionally powerful," Great Demon King Heiyan was also somewhat excited. "Even if it's a valuable treasure, its power shouldn't be too overwhelming in the hands of a Great Solar Godfiend like Meng Chuan."

"Good. Plan carefully and eliminate the couple within a year." With a turn of his palm, the elderly Demon Saint revealed a carved green dragon.

Great Demon King Heiyan watched with excitement as the carved green dragon flew towards him. With this treasure, his power could double. As a peak Fourth-level Demon King with strength approaching that of a King Godfiend, a treasure that could significantly boost his power was naturally of immense value. In the Demon Realm, only Fifth-level Demon Kings would be qualified to contend for such a thing. Yet, in the human world, he could receive such a gift.
