Chapter 286: Four Directions Military Orders

Meng Chuan looked at the contents of the letter, which bore the imprint and aura of Venerable Qin Wu, serving as one of the anti-counterfeiting measures.

"Dongning City, Chuan City, Changfeng City... I only need to rescue three major cities and eight medium-sized world entrances?" Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised. "For the eight medium-sized world entrances, gods and demons have already been arranged to handle them, so the likelihood of needing rescue is low?"

"My speed is unmatched in the world, yet I only truly need to rescue three major cities?"

Meng Chuan was astonished.

He had always thought that with his unparalleled speed, his peak King Godfiend combat power, and the fact that his master, Venerable Qin Wu, had even bestowed upon him a creation-level demon emperor's corpse to transform his Demon-Slaying Blade into what could be considered its strongest state in history, Yuanchu Mountain would likely entrust him with significant responsibilities. But out of the Great Zhou Dynasty's sixty-one cities, he only needed to rescue three?

Furthermore, he wouldn't even be stationed in these three major cities; other gods and demons would be defending them.

He would only need to rush there when called upon for assistance.

"That's right," Meng Chuan mused with a slight smile. "After all, I am only one person. If too many major cities were assigned to me, my rescue efforts might not be optimal. Yuanchu Mountain only assigned me three major cities to rescue, which clearly means other cities have been properly arranged for."

The more confidence the sect displayed, the more excited Meng Chuan became.

It indicated that the sect's preparedness and 'strength' exceeded his expectations!

"The stronger the sect, the better," Meng Chuan thought to himself.

"Sirs, have you finished reviewing the dispatch order?" asked the avian demon monarch envoy.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue exchanged glances.

"A'Chuan, I cannot disclose the contents of the dispatch order," Liu Qiyue said. "But I must leave with the envoy now."

"Oh?" Meng Chuan was surprised.

According to the order, he could act alone. But his wife needed to leave with the envoy?

"All deployments are confidential," the avian demon monarch envoy apologized. "Although all gods and demons fight for humanity, there are inevitably one or two who might collude with the demon race. Therefore, after Marquis Ningyue receives the dispatch order, I will accompany her to another major city. This will also prove that Marquis Ningyue did not leak any information during the journey."

Meng Chuan nodded slightly and cautioned his wife, "Be careful."

"You too, be careful in the final battle," Liu Qiyue said, looking at her husband.

The couple would face the war in different parts of the world.

This final battle could not be lost; it had to be won!

"Let's go."

Liu Qiyue and the avian demon monarch envoy immediately broke through the air and flew away towards the west.

Meng Chuan watched them from afar.

"Father, Father-in-law," Meng Chuan transmitted a message to Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai, "From today onwards, please help look after Meng You. It's best not to leave the Meng residence, and even if there's trouble, remember not to leave Jiangzhou City."

Jiangzhou City was one of the top ten major cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and its safety level was definitely above cities like Dongning City.

"Understood."

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai, who were relaxing and chatting in the shade, were startled and did not dare to be negligent.

Meng Chuan glanced at his daughter practicing swordplay under a distant fruit tree, then his figure flickered, and he quickly departed.

That night...

Both Marquis Dongning and Marquis Ningyue had left. Wang Shan, one of Yuanchu Mountain's two protectors, personally defended Jiangzhou City.

Marquis Ningyue, accompanied by the avian demon monarch envoy, flew towards the west.

"The sect is indeed cautious," Marquis Ningyue thought, quite satisfied. "With an avian envoy supervising, traitors would have no way to leak information. However, Yuanchu Mountain didn't send an envoy to follow A'Chuan, which clearly shows how much trust they have in him."

Meng Chuan's level of trust was indeed very high.

However, Yuanchu Mountain never absolutely trusted a Marquis Godfiend. The reason they allowed Meng Chuan to act freely was because he knew very little information! He only knew that he was responsible for rescuing three major cities and eight medium-sized world entrances. As for the defensive strength of these three major cities and eight medium-sized world entrances, he had no idea.

"Duyang City." Liu Qiyue looked at the massive city before her; this was the city she needed to defend.

"Marquis Ningyue, please follow me," the avian demon monarch envoy led the way, and they soon flew into a residence within Duyang City.

After Liu Qiyue landed, she found herself in a relatively quiet and elegant residence. It wasn't very large, and currently, there was only her and the avian demon monarch; not even a single servant or maid was present.

"Hmm?" Liu Qiyue looked up.

High in the sky, another avian demon monarch envoy was leading an old woman in their direction.

"Senior Sister Chang," Liu Qiyue's eyes lit up, and she went to greet her.

"So, it's Junior Sister Liu who will be defending Duyang City with me," the old woman smiled. "Now I can rest assured. Junior Sister Liu possesses the Phoenix Divine Body; even if eight or ten Fourth-Heaven Demon Monarchs attack, they'd simply be committing suicide."

"We'll also need Senior Sister Chang to scout the surroundings and guard against sneak attacks from demon monarchs," Liu Qiyue said with a faint smile. This old woman was Marquis Meixue, who cultivated the Vast Ocean Demon Body and was extremely skilled in domain sensing and close combat. With her in charge of vigilance, Liu Qiyue would naturally be safe. Once Liu Qiyue unleashed her Phoenix Nirvana, she would become a top-tier King Godfiend archer, capable of devastating everything around her.

Her only weakness was that she was relatively weaker before activating Phoenix Nirvana.

"If either of you ladies needs anything, please feel free to command us," the two avian demon monarchs said respectfully.

Liu Qiyue and the old woman both nodded slightly.

"How truly cautious," Liu Qiyue mused to herself. "They don't even arrange for mortal maids or servants. And with two Marquis Godfiends supervising each other, it's excellent. The more careful, the better; those traitors won't be able to leak any information."

Dongning City.

Since Dongning Prefecture had been expanded into a major city, Meng Chuan had flown over it many times from high altitude but had never landed to properly observe it.

"Dongning City is now a major city," Meng Chuan thought as he looked down from above.

The original Dongning Prefecture city was merely the 'inner city', and an outer city had been expanded around it, with all four outer city walls being one hundred and fifty li long.

Meng Chuan landed on a beacon tower atop the outer city wall. The four outer city walls combined spanned six hundred li, with a guard stationed every five zhang, meticulously watching outside the city. Additionally, patrol teams continuously moved along, patrolling.

Of course, Meng Chuan's Seamless Domain isolated all auras and light.

The guards had no idea that someone was sitting on top of the nearby beacon tower.

Meng Chuan sat on the edge of the beacon tower, holding a wine gourd and drinking.

"I wonder how the three major sects have arranged their defenses," he mused.

"Seven hundred Fourth-Heaven Demon Monarchs, a million demon monarchs, countless demons... If demon monarchs are allowed to rampage across the land, too many mortals will die." Meng Chuan thought silently. The closer it got to the final battle, the more worried he became.

"Thinking too much won't help. I should just do my part well; others will handle their own tasks."

Meng Chuan's gaze sharpened, and he slowly drank his wine.

"The three major cities I need to rescue this time are Dongning City, Chuan City, and Changfeng City. Dongning City and Chuan City are 1,100 li apart, Chuan City and Changfeng City are 1,200 li apart, and Dongning City and Changfeng City are 1,500 li apart. Yuanchu Mountain has arranged these relatively close major cities for me, making my rescue efforts more convenient," Meng Chuan thought to himself.

"In terms of rescue speed, staying in Chuan City is the most suitable option."

"Chuan City is relatively close to both Dongning City and Changfeng City."

"Since that's the case..."

"I'll go to Chuan City."

Meng Chuan gently squeezed, and the wine gourd in his hand silently turned to dust. With a whoosh, he streaked across the night sky directly towards Chuan City.
