Chapter 333 Collusion

“Senior Sister Chang.”

“Junior Sister Liu.”

In Chu An City, Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow bade farewell. The two of them had been supporting each other for three years and had formed a close relationship.

“It was fate that allowed us to stand shoulder to shoulder for three years.” Marchioness Plum Snow’s snow-white hair fluttered as she said solemnly, “I’ve been fighting my entire life. I have to thank the heavens for letting me live to the end of my lifespan. As for you, you are still very young. You have to be careful with how you use Phoenix’s Nirvana. Even if you become a Regis Godfiend in the future, you have to be extremely careful with your forbidden spell! You might be able to kill powerful enemies once by casting it, but it might not be worth consuming decades of your lifespan. You can do more for humanity if you live a few more decades.

“Even if you occasionally sacrifice some mortals, you can save ten to a hundred times more mortals if you live for a few more decades.” Marchioness Plum Snow looked at Liu Qiyue. “Junior Sister, I hope you will consider it carefully.”

Liu Qiyue was stunned. Live a few more decades? She could save ten times or a hundred times more humans? Liu Qiyue nodded and said, “I understand.”

“Junior Sister Liu, Marquis Eastcalm, farewell!” Marchioness Plum Snow cupped her hands. Meng Chuan and his wife cupped their hands as well. She then turned around and left with a pair of young Godfiends. They followed the messenger-an avian demon monarch-and headed for a new city.

Meng Chuan and his wife watched them leave.

Marchioness Plum Snow was extremely famous. After all, very few people could live to the end of their lifespan during a war. She cultivated the Eon Sea Fiend Body, and she was skilled at domains and close combat! She had strength comparable to a Regis Godfiend. Even if a fifth Firmament demon monarch attacked, she could fight it for a long time with her domain and close combat abilities.

“That pair of young Godfiends is Senior Sister Chang’s great-grandchildren,” said Liu Qiyue. “Senior Sister Chang is old, but she discovered that the descendants of her family are very mediocre. She barely managed to groom these two brothers. Despite being guided by Senior Sister Chang, the two brothers still didn’t qualify for entry into Archean Mountain. However, Senior Sister Chang used her credits to exchange for a chance for the two of them to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool. She exchanged for top-grade Godfiend body manuals and had these two brothers cultivate high-grade Godfiend bodies. Their cultivation resources are slightly better than ordinary Archean Mountain inner sect disciples. Senior Sister Chang used her credits to exchange for all of them. These two brothers likely have a chance of reaching the Great Solar realm. However, they have no hope of becoming Marquis Godfiends.”

“After many years of constant fighting, it’s very normal for one to plan for their family clan when they are nearing the end of their lifespans.” Meng Chuan nodded as he thought of his grandaunt. After his grandaunt was heavily injured, she returned to her hometown to nurture her descendants.

Marchioness Plum Snow probably shared the same thoughts. “Let’s go,” said Meng Chuan. “Yes.”

The couple set off with the messenger, another avian demon monarch.

Meng Chuan traveled very quickly. After traveling thousands of kilometers, they arrived at a large familiar city. Most of the members of the Meng family lived in this city – Jiang State Capital.

“Jiang State Capital.”

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue looked down.

“Milords, we have to keep the identity of the guardian Godfiends a secret. We mustn’t reveal it, in case the demons discover it,” said the avian demon monarch envoy respectfully. At the same time, it pointed at an ordinary manor. “The courtyard with peach blossoms is where the two of you will live.”

“I still can’t believe it,” said Liu Qiyue. “Archean Mountain actually wants me to guard Jiang State Capital.”

“It’s written clearly on the transfer orders,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “It’s a large city with over 20 million people,” said Liu Qiyue.

Even though the Great Zhou Dynasty had 62 large cities, there were only over ten cities with a population of 20 million.

“Ordinary large cities are often attacked,” said Meng Chuan. “They encounter attacks once every two to three months, but the top cities are seldom attacked. In the past half-year, only five top cities have been attacked, but they were only attacked once. Jiang State Capital is one of them. I heard that when 1,200 third Firmament demon monarchs attacked, more than 1,100 died. Only a few dozen demon monarchs managed to escape.”

“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded.

The city’s defenses were too powerful. A Dao Protector, Wang Shan, had secretly guarded Jiang State Capital! With a Dao Protector’s body, he was in no way weaker than King True Martial.

More than 1,100 of the 1,200 demon monarchs died. The death ratio was crazy! Demon monarchs were also afraid of death! After entering the human world, the demons didn’t have much control over the demon monarchs. They relied on treasures to entice them into attacking cities! The demon monarchs were unwilling to commit suicide.

When attacking a large city, those with better life-preservation means would have a chance of survival if they were careful. Only then were they willing to participate in the attack. However, if the death rate exceeded 95%? The demon monarchs were unwilling to participate in the attack.

“With Jiang State Capital’s combat results, even if the demons guess that there might be changes in our defenses, the possibility of them attacking Jiang State Capital is still very low,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “At the very least, it is much more unlikely for you to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana here.”

Liu Qiyue nodded. She knew that her husband had spent a lot of effort to transfer her to Jiang State Capital.

This transfer… was actually very ingenious. Just a Marquis Godfiend was used to guard a top city. It saved Archean Mountain’s combat strength.

At the bottom of the sea, inside a small grotto-heaven.

Patriarch Yellow Oscillate, the black-robed man, and Demon Sage Nine Abyss gathered together.

“The Great Zhou Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty have over 100 large cities. We attack 30 to 40 cities every month, but we only mobilize tens of thousands of demon monarchs,” said Patriarch Yellow Oscillate with a smile. “If we take turns, the numerous demon monarchs will only take action once a year. The demon monarchs aren’t against it.”

“This pressure is enough.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded. “Attacking one or two top cities occasionally will ensure that Regis Godfiends will continue guarding these large cities.”

The black-robed man said coldly, “If a top city doesn’t have a Godfiend comparable to a Regis Godfiend, the attacking demon monarchs will demolish it.”

“It’s time for the second step,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss. “Too many second Firmament demon monarchs have been idle. Let them hunt freely! Give all demon monarchs a mission. They will earn 100 credits for every mortal they hunt.”“Nine Abyss, these mortals are very careful when hiding,” said the black-robed man. “They are all carefully hiding in the wilderness, the lakes, and the depths of mountains. They are very afraid that demon monarchs will discover them. If one is just a slight distance away, it’s impossible to find them with the naked eye.”

“That’s why killing a mortal will earn them 100 credits,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss with a smile. “Those demon monarchs will scour the areas one by one. If large groups of human Godfiends come out to kill demon monarchs, we can also kill them. The occasional handful of powerful Godfiends won’t be able to save the entire human world.”

The black-robed man and Patriarch Yellow Oscillate nodded.

Demon Sage Nine Abyss frowned and said, “North Sense, we can suppress humans in all aspects because we have many demon monarchs. However, King White Treasure and Archean Mountain’s mysterious Godfiend have been hunting the underground demon monarchs down. More demon monarchs are coming from the Demon Realm, and more demon monarchs are hiding underground. The number of demon monarchs they kill every year is greater than our losses on land.”

“The Imperial Lords already created plans to deal with King White Treasure.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss looked at the black-robed man. “North Sense, the other mysterious Godfiend underground has always been in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Which Archean Mountain Godfiend is it? You have to investigate their identity carefully. The number of demon monarchs they kill every year is even greater than King White Treasure.”

“I’m still investigating.” The black-robed man felt an incoming headache when talking about the issue.

“Archean Mountain has two Regis Godfiends that are in contact with us. Don’t tell me those two Regis Godfiends don’t know who is responsible for carrying out underground reconnaissance in the Great Zhou Dynasty?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss was furious.

“Both of them say they don’t know,” said the black-robed man. “Can’t they guess? There are only a few Regis Godfiends,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss angrily. “In my opinion, the two of them just don’t want to talk!”
