Chapter 399: Reporting

Even after inheriting all the supreme techniques of the Thunder lineage, Meng Chuan still didn't entirely agree with Patriarch Yuanchu's original decision.

"These precious supreme techniques systematically guide one's path and provide complete cultivation methods," Meng Chuan mused. "Although, after losing the Star Cluster Building, one can still comprehend the secret treasures and weapons of Emperor and Tribulation Realm levels to understand the direction of cultivation, it's ultimately much less efficient. Even true powerhouses of the Space-Time River create their own supreme techniques. Yet, studying the supreme techniques of others and absorbing their wisdom... is also beneficial for creating one's own."

"Of course, Patriarch Yuanchu's perspective was different from mine."

"He was an Emperor, the strongest in the entire human world at that time. He might have had deeper considerations," Meng Chuan thought.

Patriarch Yuanchu was unrivaled in his era, standing at the pinnacle of the human world. He had to consider not only the present but also the distant future.

If he had only sought immediate satisfaction, Patriarch Yuanchu would have kept all of Cangyuan Sect's foundations on Yuanchu Mountain, focusing solely on its development.

However, in reality...

He proceeded with extreme caution, as if treading on thin ice, believing he might have been mistaken.

For the sake of humanity, he believed in not putting all his eggs in one basket.

He placed bets on both sides.

Therefore, he entrusted the incredibly precious "Three Great Sect-Guarding Treasures" to the Canghai Sect, and a group of powerful cultivators, including Patriarch Canghai, went to establish the Canghai Sect.

Both Yuanchu Mountain and Canghai Sect possessed foundations capable of being unrivaled in the world. Regardless of which sect succeeded, humanity would still possess strong foundations and continue to prosper.

Jiangzhou City, in the afternoon.

Meng Chuan landed in the courtyard. Liu Qiyue, who was reading a book there, stood up and walked over, asking, "A'Chuan, why didn't you come back all of last night?"

"I was held up by something," Meng Chuan replied with a smile. At that time, he was undergoing trials within the Canghai Sect's grotto-heaven. "Didn't I tell you I was safe through the communication token?"

Meng Chuan had long prepared a set of communication tokens for his family members, along with some secret codes for various messages.

These included sending safety updates and requesting aid.

"But later, when I tried to contact you, I couldn't reach you," Liu Qiyue said. "If you hadn't reported your safety beforehand, I would have sought help from Yuanchu Mountain."

"Don't worry, my dear wife," Meng Chuan said, feeling his wife's concern and smiling. "Your husband is immensely powerful and has cultivated to the Blood Droplet realm; I even have a drop of my blood preserved on Yuanchu Mountain! My life-saving abilities are very strong. With the meager means the demon race possesses in the human world, they can't do anything to me."

"Alright, alright, I know you're impressive," Liu Qiyue chuckled.

"Oh, right, I've prepared a gift for you."

Meng Chuan flipped his hand, presenting his wife with a set of feathered robes shimmering with colorful light. "Try it on."

Liu Qiyue was immediately captivated. The power emanating from the feathered robes drew her in strongly. She reached out, took them, and put them on, feeling her inner 'Phoenix bloodline' resonate with the robes.

"It's called the Phoenix Feather Robe. I thought it would suit you perfectly," Meng Chuan said with a smile.

"My bloodline power can control it!" Liu Qiyue exclaimed in amazement. A faint phantom image of a phoenix appeared on the surface of the Phoenix Feather Robe, and this phantom also contained power, protecting Liu Qiyue. "It provides protection and can also release extremely potent flames, turning the surroundings into a flame domain. A'Chuan, I love these robes."

Liu Qiyue happily familiarized herself with the feathered robes.

"Where did this come from?" Liu Qiyue then realized and asked.

"Let's go inside, and I'll tell you all about it," Meng Chuan said with a smile. The Star Cluster Building would gradually open to the Marquis Godfiends of Yuanchu Mountain, so there was no need to hide the matters of the Canghai Sect from his wife.

The next day, Meng Chuan resumed his hunt for demon monarchs underground.

"Whoosh."

"Whoosh."

A streak of light flew at super high speed deep beneath the human world, its Thunder Magnetic domain repeatedly scanning the area. Every demon monarch discovered was swiftly killed. Only a select few were subdued by Meng Chuan to become his demon servants.

Inside a small grotto-heaven, within a secret chamber.

"I never thought that the Godfiend massively hunting demon monarchs underground would actually be Meng Chuan," Thousand Cricket Demon Saint mused. Through the connection of the Karmic Blood Curse, he could sense the young Godfiend.

Karmic connections were the most mysterious.

Even Tribulation Realm mighty figures themselves could not completely sever them, only try to obscure and conceal them.

Meng Chuan, who had no understanding of the karmic lineage, was unaware that he had been exposed. However, he was also aware that given the demon race's capabilities, he always needed to be careful and prepared.

"Boom." Pushing open the door of the secret chamber, Thousand Cricket Demon Saint walked out.

"Nine Abysses."

Thousand Cricket Demon Saint arrived at a quiet hall and called out directly.

Soon, the figure of Nine Abysses Demon Saint appeared on the throne in the hall. It smiled, "What brings you to me?"

"I am ninety percent certain of the identity of the Godfiend who is massively slaughtering demon monarchs underground," Thousand Cricket Demon Saint stated.

"Ninety percent certain?" Nine Abysses Demon Saint frowned slightly.

"Previously, I traveled across the land, finding three thousand demon monarchs throughout the world and placing Karmic Blood Curses on them," Thousand Cricket Demon Saint explained. "These three thousand bait targets were completely dispersed and showed no pattern. Now, out of two hundred and five targets killed, two hundred and two were slain by the same Godfiend." Thousand Cricket Demon Saint added, "I believe this is a very high degree of certainty."

"Three thousand bait targets, and only about two hundred dead?" Nine Abysses Demon Saint shook its head. "This matter is of great importance. At this point, a few extra days won't make a difference. Our demon race will employ even more powerful assassination methods against that Godfiend than last time. If we target the wrong individual, the consequences will be severe."

Thousand Cricket Demon Saint pondered, "Actually, the certainty is already quite high, but if you have doubts, we can wait another half-month."

"Let's wait another half-month then. It's just a few tens of thousands more demon monarchs dying," Nine Abysses Demon Saint said indifferently. "By the way, who have you found it to be?"

Thousand Cricket Demon Saint looked at the other and smiled, "Marquis Dongning, Meng Chuan!"

Another half-month passed.

Nine Abysses Demon Saint and Thousand Cricket Demon Saint walked side by side.

"As of today, five hundred and thirty-three bait targets have died," Thousand Cricket Demon Saint said. "Of these, five hundred and twenty-seven were killed by Meng Chuan. As you know, these bait demon monarchs are scattered across the world, and there haven't been any large-scale city attacks recently, so most demon monarchs are dormant underground. To kill over five hundred bait targets in just one month? It can't be a coincidence!"

Nine Abysses Demon Saint agreed, "It seems Meng Chuan became a Marquis Godfiend long ago; he was just keeping it a secret."

"That's why you couldn't figure out who it was, despite all your efforts before," Thousand Cricket Demon Saint added.

The two Demon Saints arrived side by side at a gloomy secret chamber.

In the center of the gloomy secret chamber was a pool of water.

"I will contact the Emperor now," Nine Abysses Demon Saint said, and Thousand Cricket Demon Saint nodded.

"Buzz."

Countless runes carved into the secret chamber glowed with silver-white light, and a scene gradually emerged within the central pool: the figure of Emperor Xinghe.

Nine Abysses Demon Saint and Thousand Cricket Demon Saint both bowed slightly, showing immense respect.

"Your Majesty, we have identified the Godfiend," Nine Abysses Demon Saint reported respectfully.
