Chapter 168: Sect Message

“The Skydemon cultivation system was created by the demons for human traitors . There are all sorts of flaws,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “According to the different cultivation styles, there are seven factions in the Skydemon Sect . Typically, the seven factions are independent and manage their own territories . However, the Skydemon Sect Master has personally given an order . This doesn’t just involve a single faction but all seven . The Skydemon Sect is conducting investigations throughout the world . ”

Meng Chuan nodded . “I’ll continue searching . ”

“I’ll report what we’ve discovered from the interrogations after we’ve captured more spies . ” Zhang Yunfeng nodded .

Archean Mountain needed information from various places to make more accurate judgments .

Swoosh .

With a flash, Meng Chuan vanished .

…

Meng Chuan roamed the city with astonishing speed and found 11 Skydemon Sect disciples in total .

I’ll search the important areas next . Meng Chuan looked at the area in front of him—several kilometers of land occupied by Jiang State’s largest institution, an Archean Mountain Branch .

Archean Mountain’s outer sect disciples cultivated in various states’ branch schools . If outer sect disciples wanted to inherit Godfiend Legacies or use credit to exchange for treasures, they would usually head to an Archean Mountain Branch Institution . After all, it wasn’t easy to get to Archean Mountain . Archean Mountain couldn’t arrange for flying mountains to escort every outer sect disciple .

Jiang State’s Archean Mountain Branch Institution had Godfiends to guide outer sect disciples . These Godfiends resided here all year round .

Whoosh .

Meng Chuan explored Jiang State’s Archean Mountain Branch Institution three times before he finished with the area . He discovered two Skydemon Sect disciples that had sneaked in . One was disguised as a delivery man, while the other was a servant that was responsible for cleaning .

…

There are still four Skydemon Sect disciples I haven’t found yet . Meng Chuan also searched the imperial government’s office and the Godfiend family residences .

Xiao family .

Meng Chuan looked at the ancient mansion in front of him .

The Jiang State’s strongest Godfiend family clan—the Xiao family—is a Regis Godfiend family clan . Their younger generation is talented . Senior Sister Xiao Yunyue is part of the Xiao family . Such an ancient family clan typically has Godfiends guarding it .

Whoosh .

With a flash, Meng Chuan arrived atop a roof . He could scan the entire Xiao family’s residence from this position . There were only two Godfiends present in the Xiao family . One was a Great Solar Godfiend, and the other was an Indestructible Godfiend .

There really is a spy . Meng Chuan discovered a demonic aura .

In one of the Xiao Family’s gardens, a young girl was watching a flower bloom . In March, Jiang State enjoyed flowers blooming everywhere . The garden was filled with all sorts of colors .

Seven maids were serving the young girl .

“Look, the peach tree’s leaves are like drops of blood and ink in midair,” said the young girl excitedly to the maidservant behind her . “Hurry up and prepare some ink . I want to paint it . ”

Swoosh .

A gust of wind blew past, and Miss Xiao was shocked to discover that one of her maids had vanished into thin air .

“Green Willow,” she exclaimed .

“Who is it?”

“Who dares barge into our Xiao family?” The surrounding crowd immediately roared .

Meng Chuan held the maidservant in one hand, but he was already half a kilometer away . He frowned slightly as he looked behind him . He sensed the Xiao family’s Great Solar Godfiend chasing after him, so he stopped .

“You are?” The middle-aged Godfiend rushed over and looked at Meng Chuan in puzzlement . Due to the change in his appearance, the Godfiend failed to recognize him .

Meng Chuan revealed a token .

“Greetings, Senior Brother . ” The middle-aged Godfiend greeted Meng Chuan respectfully when he saw the token . Since it was a turbulent time, those who held such tokens could command all of Jiang State’s Godfiends . Of course, he didn’t know that three people had such tokens . Meng Chuan and Yang Fang were just deputy generals . Zhang Yunfeng was the main commander .

“Caught a spy . ” Meng Chuan pushed his Quintessential Essence into the maidservant . The maidservant’s body changed, growing an inch taller . Her face changed drastically; she now had a demonic appearance .

“Thank you, Senior Brother . I never expected a spy to sneak into my Xiao family,” said the middle-aged Godfiend politely .

Meng Chuan nodded and disappeared with a whoosh .

Who exactly is this senior brother? The middle-aged Godfiend was puzzled . Could it be that he has changed his appearance? With the current situation, even I don’t know the identities of the Godfiends guarding Jiang State . However, that’s good . It will be even harder for the demons to figure out which Godfiends are guarding Jiang State Capital .

Following that, the Godfiend silently returned . Under his command, the matter of a maidservant disappearing into thin air was kept under wraps .

…

I’ve investigated the entire city . I still haven’t found two Skydemon Sect disciples . Meng Chuan pondered their possible locations . That’s right . Skydemon Sect Disciples won’t stay in the same spot forever .

Meng Chuan continued his search .

A food-delivering hawker? Meng Chuan stood on the street and looked at a hawker pushing a cart . He pushed the food-filled cart through a manor’s side door . It was a Godfiend family manor .

The hawker was a Skydemon Sect disciple at the Seamless realm .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan directly went onto the roof . He was roughly 100 feet away from the stone-paved road—where the hawker had been pushing his cart . The manor’s servants led him in .

“Don’t look around . If you offend the VIPs in the manor, you’re doomed,” the servant threatened .

“Yes, yes, yes . ” The hawker smiled obsequiously .

As he stood on the roof—which was 100 feet away—Meng Chuan suddenly had an idea . He left an Essence Soul mark on the hawker using a mystic technique he learned on Archean Mountain .

In fact, he could sense any Quintessential Essence marks he left on someone up to 50 kilometers away from his potion . However, a Quintessential Essence Mark was easily discovered . Skydemons and demon monarchs could discover them . Essence Soul Marks were much harder to detect . One needed an Essence Soul to detect these marks . Since his Essence Soul had reached the Kinesis stage, he could sense Essence Soul marks that were 150 kilometers away from him .

Time to find the last spy . Meng Chuan quietly left .

He searched a little longer before he found the last spy .

He’s actually on a boat . Meng Chuan stared at the humble people paddling a boat with passengers on board as he stood by the shore .

He planted an Essence Soul mark on an honest-looking man . As long as he was within 200 feet, he could plant Essence Soul marks on his targets .

…

“We’ve found all 17 Skydemon Sect disciples in two hours . Junior Brother Meng’s reconnaissance skills are indeed impressive,” said Yang Fang with a smile . “However, Junior Brother Meng needs to watch the remaining two disciples carefully . Once they leave the city, we will immediately follow . ”

“Don’t be careless . ” Zhang Yunfeng said, “Skydemon Sect might send another batch of disciples . Demons might even sneak in . ”

“Don’t worry . I’ll patrol the city every two hours,” said Meng Chuan .

“Thank you, Junior Brother Meng,” said Zhang Yunfeng .

“We naturally have to be more careful during turbulent times like this . ” Meng Chuan had always been extremely attentive when dealing with demons .

…

That night, in the yard .

A ten-foot-tall bird descended and spat out a bamboo tube . At the same time, it spoke in human language, “Senior Brother Zhang, this is a secret letter passed down by the sect three hours ago . I flew here at full speed . ”

“Thank you,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile .

The bird nodded and immediately soared into the sky . After all, these demon birds—that were controlled by humans—believed they were a part of the human world; thus, they were extremely loyal to humans .

Zhang Yunfeng pulled out the secret letter from the bamboo tube . Upon opening it, he frowned slightly and handed it to Meng Chuan and Yang Fang . “Both of you take a look . ”

“Oh?” Yang Fang took it, and Meng Chuan read the contents .

The content of the secret letter was very simple .

The demons will attack all state capitals in the world . The Skydemon Sect will send 11 fourth Firmament Skydemons to participate in this endeavor . They will join forces with the fourth Firmament demon monarchs that are lurking in the human world . They will mainly attack the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty’s state capitals .
