Chapter 169: Demonic Transformation

“From the looks of it, we have spies in Skydemon Sect’s upper echelons,” said Yang Fang with a smile after he read the letter .

Meng Chuan and Zhang Yunfeng nodded .

They had expected such attacks to occur . Although Two World Island had the largest territory, it mainly consisted of islands, forests, and mountains . These environments were why the Great Yue Dynasty had a low population density . If the demons wanted to attack, they would obviously attack places with high population densities!

“During the Great Relocation Plan, the state capitals and prefecture cities will be at their weakest . We have to survive this,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “Seven million people in Jiang State depend on us . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan and Yang Fang were solemn as well .

Once the Great Relocation Plan was finished, Marquis Godfiends would join them . The state capitals would be better defended then .

…

Meng Chuan worked hard every day, patrolling the city again and again . However, he did not find any new spies .

“One of the two Skydemon Sect disciples has secretly left the city,” said Meng Chuan to Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang . “I’ll follow him now . ”

“If he travels over 100 kilometers away from the city, give up,” said Zhang Yunfeng . “The city still relies on us to fend off Skydemons and demon monarchs . ”

“Understood . ” Meng Chuan left quietly . He restrained his lightning and moved silently . He moved at 70 percent his normal speed, but it was more than enough to tail a mortal .

Whoosh . Whoosh .

Jiang State Capital was one of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s ten major cities . The city wall was 80 kilometers long . Godfiends had been involved in the construction of the city .

Phew . Meng Chuan silently jumped over the 300 foot tall city wall and landed a kilometer away from it . In the blink of an eye, he caught up with the rapidly fleeing Skydemon Sect disciple .

“I left Jiang State alive . ” Qian Rucheng ran . As a mortal expert that had condensed a demon core, he was faster than a horse when using a movement technique . Furthermore, he was very hidden because he was not traveling on official roads . Traveling on official roads would be too conspicuous .

Qian Rucheng was overjoyed . It was very dangerous for him to enter Jiang State Capital to investigate . Not only did he survive, but he had also obtained the desired intelligence . The Skydemon Sect would reward him heavily .

How slow . Meng Chuan was over half a kilometer behind Qian Rucheng . He had to maintain the speed of a Core Condensation Mortal .

Qian Rucheng fled with all his might . Finally, he arrived at a peach tree forest—15 kilometers from Jiang State Capital . Peach trees were everywhere, and some flowers had already bloomed . This would look very beautiful in the day, but it would also look quite eerie during the night .

When he arrived at the peach blossom forest, Qian Rucheng took out a whistle and blew it . The whistle produced a sound wave—that couldn’t be heard by the human ear at all—that quickly spread out .

The way the Skydemon Sect passes information is quite interesting . Meng Chuan sensed the Heaven and Earth powers being stirred when the faint sound waves spread outwards . It was surprising that such a whistle could disturb the Heaven and Earth powers .

They didn’t wait long .

They’re coming . Meng Chuan sensed an aura rapidly approaching the Skydemon Sect disciple, Qian Rucheng . This person’s demonic aura was much stronger than the disciples that had snuck into Jiang State Capital . It was likely a Skydemon .

That is? Meng Chuan retrieved his aura and silently approached . When he was half a kilometer away, he could see everything with the faint moonlight illuminating the area .

A black fog rapidly flew over . When it reached Qian Rucheng’s side, it condensed into a black-robed elder with a goatee .

When Qian Rucheng saw the elder, he immediately greeted the man, “Elder . ”

“Disciple-Nephew Qian . ” The goateed elder’s eyes glowed dark-red as he smiled . “Have you found anything?”

“I was in charge of investigating three Godfiend residences . I’ve found some information . ” Qian Rucheng took out a letter and handed it over respectfully . “It’s all written here . Elder, please take a look . ”

The goateed elder received it and read the letter . He smiled . “Very good . Let’s wait a little longer . We’ll talk when the other disciples are here . ”

“Yes . ” Qian Rucheng obediently stood by the side . He didn’t dare leave . As spies, they returned together after their mission was completed . They were forbidden from contacting the outside world for a period .

…

The goateed elder and Qian Rucheng waited in the peach blossom forest . Meng Chuan silently observed them from half a kilometer away .

An hour later, another spy came to the peach blossom forest and blew the silent whistle . The goateed elder, Qian Rucheng, and the spy met up . This spy was naturally the other person Meng Chuan had placed his Essence Soul mark on .

The night gradually passed…

The goateed elder raised his head and saw a fuzzy light in the horizon . He frowned and said, “Only the two of you survived?”

The two looked at each other in fear .

Seventeen disciples went in, but only two came out?

“Despite not having a Marquis Godfiend in Jiang State Capital, so many disciples actually failed to return?” The goateed elder frowned slightly before chuckling coldly . “It looks like the Godfiends have set up a trap in Jiang State Capital . Unfortunately, without a Marquis Godfiend, those ordinary Godfiends are useless . ”

“This is the address . ” The goateed elder threw out a furled piece of paper . “Quickly head there . ”

The duo looked at the piece of paper and nodded immediately .

Whoosh .

A large amount of black fog emanated from the goateed elder before he transformed into a black bird . The black bird soared into the sky .

When Meng Chuan saw this, his heart trembled . He can fly?

The Skydemon cultivation system was special . They cultivated demonic powers with a human body . They would gradually transform into demons, but they were different from real demons . For example, this goateed elder could transform into a bird .

If he flies too high, I won’t be able to chase after him . Meng Chuan sighed .

Swoosh!

The black bird soared into the sky and rose to an altitude of 1000 feet . However, a bolt of lightning shot into the sky from the bleach blossom forest and towards him . The bolt of lightning was very fast as it flew towards the bird that was still soaring higher .

Not good . The black bird also noticed the lightning strike . He knew that things weren’t looking good . He desperately spread his wings and flew higher . The goateed elder could fly very high . It wasn’t difficult for him to reach an altitude of tens of thousands of feet or even hundreds of thousands of feet .

However, he wasn’t given time to fly that high .

That’s… The black bird only saw a blurry figure inside the lightning . Following that, Great Solar Quintessential Essence threads entered his body and instantly sealed his demonic core . He could no longer use a sliver of his demonic powers .

The black bird transformed back to his human form .

Meng Chuan held the goateed elder’s neck with one hand as though he was grabbing a chicken .

It’s over . It’s a human Godfiend . I’ve fallen into the hands of a Godfiend . The goateed elder’s heart chilled .

Inside the lightning, one could see a human figure .

“A Godfiend . ” Qian Rucheng and the other Skydemon Sect disciple were horrified . Skydemon Sect disciples were most afraid of encountering Godfiends . They quickly fled in fear .

Boom! Boom!

Meng Chuan carried the Skydemon Sect Elder and landed . He glanced at the two Skydemon Sect disciples and waved his hand . Two bolts of lightning flew out and struck the two Skydemon Sect disciples . Following that, Meng Chuan was once again cloaked in lightning as he headed back to Jiang State Capital .
