Chapter 181: The Great Zhou’s Situation

The wrinkles on Zhang Yunfeng’s face deepened, looking like he had aged considerably . However, he smiled happily . “I have one foot in the coffin; yet, I managed to kill a fourth Firmament Skydemon! This is the strongest opponent I’ve ever killed in my entire life . ”

“Me too!” Yang Fang carried his two large axes and smiled . “Previously, these fourth Firmament Skydemons were extremely cunning . It would be difficult to encounter them . They only dare to appear now because Marquis Godfiends are guarding the various medium-sized city passes . Furthermore, there’s Senior Brother Zhang and Junior Brother Meng! Only with the three of us working together did we manage to kill a fourth Firmament Skydemon . ”

“If not for the two of you, I would be fleeing from him,” said Meng Chuan with a smile .

“Without Junior Brother Meng, he would have long fled,” said Yang Fang .

“Stop flattering each other! The three of us worked together to kill Blackwater Palace Lord . ” Zhang Yunfeng smiled .

Mmm?

Meng Chuan and company suddenly looked up .

A man with a pair of Quintessential Essence wings on his back descended .

“Greetings, Senior Brothers . ” A few Great Solar Godfiends had Quintessential Essence Wings . For example, Liu Qiyue’s Phoenix Divine Body was capable of producing one .

“Junior Brother Mo . ” Zhang Yunfeng, Meng Chuan, and Yang Fang looked at him .

“During our pursuit of the demon monarchs and Skydemons in Jiang State Capital, we discovered a piece of intelligence . The leader of the invasion is a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Blackwater Palace Lord . Therefore, Dean Chang sent me over immediately . I saw Senior Brother Zhang’s domain envelop an area spanning several kilometers . The commotion caused the ground to quake violently . Were you dealing with Blackwater Palace Lord?”

Zhang Yunfeng said with a smile, “Yes, but the trouble has been resolved . ”

“It’s been resolved? Where’s Blackwater Palace Lord? Has he escaped?” asked the winged man urgently .

“He didn’t escape . He’s right there . ” Zhang Yunfeng pointed to a nearby spot where the Water Splitters and other items remained .

The winged man was puzzled .

“His weapons and other items are still here . As for his body, it has turned to dust . ” Zhang Yunfeng smiled happily and asked, “By the way, how’s the situation in the city’s other regions?”

Meng Chuan and Yang Fang weren’t in a rush to help . With their tokens, they knew that no more Godfiends were dying in the city .

“The situation is pretty good,” explained the winged man immediately . “Senior Brother Meng killed a group of demon monarchs in the south very quickly . The danger in the east was also resolved by the three of you . The other Godfiends mainly dealt with the city’s northern and western regions . We have an advantage in overall strength . Our Great Solar Godfiends are also relatively stronger . Only a few Skydemons and demon monarchs escaped . ”

“Most Godfiends were killed in the city’s eastern region,” whispered the winged man .

Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan sighed secretly .

“It was unlikely they could escape when they encountered Blackwater Palace Lord . ” Zhang Yunfeng shook his head .

Meng Chuan nodded as well . Even he had nearly lost his life after being ambushed by Blackwater Palace Lord . Let alone the ordinary Godfiends .

“Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Yang, I’ll head elsewhere in the city to take a look,” said Meng Chuan . “I’ll patrol the area and quickly kill all the demons as soon as possible . ”

“Junior Brother, be careful,” said Zhang Yunfeng with a smile .

“Young people are different . He can go back into the fight right after using forbidden Godfiend spells,” said Yang Fang with a smile .

Meng Chuan nodded as lightning curled around his body . He transformed into a blurry figure—that streaked across the sky—appearing more than two kilometers away . His speed increased dramatically after imprinting second-level Lightning Runes on his body .

He would have unparalleled speed if he became a Marquis Godfiend!

Time to see if we’ve missed anything . Meng Chuan continued roaming around the city . He hadn’t cast his forbidden Godfiend spell for very long . He had only used a forbidden spell after he attained his perfected Saber Soul . He hadn’t used a forbidden spell as long as Zhang Yunfeng and Yang Fang . Furthermore, he was young, and the body cultivation system made his lifeforce very vigorous . He only needed eight hours to recover fully . He had only suffered minor injuries during the battle with Blackwater Palace Lord .

…

The invasion of Jiang State Capital gradually came to an end . However, the flames of war continued raging in the rest of the world!

Archean Mountain .

Supremacy Qin Wu sat in a large hall . On the hall’s walls was a massive map of the human world . The map of the Great Zhou Dynasty was especially detailed, and lights blinked everywhere on the map .

Red, dark red, black…

The different colors represented different threat levels .

“Supremacy, Cloud State’s Red Phoenix Prefecture has requested for reinforcements again . The threat is that of a fourth Firmament . This is the ninth request for help in 15 minutes . ” A group of people beside him carefully observed the map on the wall and gave timely reports from time to time .

“Make them give up,” said Supremacy Qin Wu coldly . “Make them give up immediately . ”

“They aren’t willing to give up,” said an elder in a low voice . “They want to try resisting . ”

Supremacy Qin Wu calmly said, “Tell them again that there’s no rescue! Make them give up!”

As he made his decision, Supremacy Qin Wu sighed inwardly . Cloud State is too remote, and Red Phoenix Prefecture is even more remote . It requires Regis Godfiends to travel over 3,000 kilometers to reach them . I cannot affect the entire world’s reinforcements for a single prefecture .

The demons and the Skydemon Sect hid in the dark . They could sneak attack on any city in the world . Archean Mountain had to guard all of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s states and prefectures . Even if they held the strength advantage in the human world, there wasn’t much difference after distributing their forces across the world .

“Supremacy, East Harbor Prefecture has asked for help again! The danger is at the fourth Firmament!” shouted another disciple immediately .

“King East River is rushing over . He’s about to arrive . Let them hold on,” instructed Supremacy Qin Wu .

For the sake of hundreds of city passes’ mortals, Marquis Godfiends needed to preside over medium-sized city passes . They didn’t have enough manpower . A small number of medium-sized city passes relied on defensive treasures to hold back the demons .

However, the Regis Godfiends were sent out in full force! Even Archean Mountain Lord and Elder Yi had descended the mountain! They guarded the Great Zhou Dynasty’s most important lands . For example, King East River was in charge of guarding the five states around Wu State!

However, the demons’ attack happened simultaneously . A Regis Godfiend was unable to split himself . He had to prioritize certain areas depending on the threat level and distance from Wu State . King East River was rather busy because the Wu, Jiang, and Huang State were the places the demons had focused their attacks on . The first city he reinforced was Wu State Capital . The second was East Harbor Prefecture . Although East Harbor Prefecture wasn’t a state capital, it had a population of over three million .

As for Jiang State Capital? Since they handled the threat themselves, King East River naturally helped those who couldn’t .

“Supremacy,” someone said anxiously . “Five Regis Godfiends are stationed in five regions of the Great Zhou Dynasty . But now, the demons are attacking six states… Some Regis Godfiends are unable to help . Should we redistribute the Regis Godfiends?”

“No!” Someone immediately retorted, “The demons are very cunning . It’s a common strategy to lure the tiger out the mountain . It was like this in the past . After Wu State Capital and Jiang State Capital were attacked, they immediately attacked several prefecture cities with high populations . The Regis Godfiends had been unable to deal with all of them . I’m worried that if we mobilize the Godfiends from other places, the demons would suddenly attack other regions . ”

“Continue monitoring the situation in your various regions . If there’s anything new, report immediately,” instructed Supremacy Qin Wu coldly .

The pressure on Supremacy Qin Wu was immense as well . He knew very well that he had to send five Regis Godfiends to guard the most important regions! He had to prevent a major collapse of any one place .

If something unexpected happened after the situation stabilized, the cities still had their defensive treasures .

“Supremacy . ” Someone reported excitedly, “The danger at Jiang State Capital has been resolved! The fourth Firmament threat has been killed!”

Everyone in the hall was astonished .

Killed?

“The fourth Firmament Skydemon or demon monarch has been killed?”

“The situation in Jiang State Capital is still alright . They managed to kill a fourth Firmament threat without using the defensive treasure?”

They were very shocked .

Supremacy Qin Wu was experienced . He had even seen a Great Solar Godfiend kill a fourth Firmament demon monarch in a one-on-one battle . However, his eyes lit up because he felt delighted . It was about time for some good news .

“Have Zhang Yunfeng and Meng Chuan reinforce Jiang State’s Changfeng Prefecture immediately!” Supremacy Qin ordered .

“Yes . ” The disciple in charge of Jiang State immediately began sending the mobilization orders .

From Supremacy Qin Wu’s point of view, he understood the Great Zhou Dynasty’s overall situation . From an absolutely harsh perspective, letting the people from hundreds of city passes migrate by themselves minimized the Godfiend casualties . However, Supremacy Qin Wu also knew that if that were the case, it would negatively impact many Godfiends’ hearts . The Godfiends had sacrificed themselves to defend the mortals for generations! This had long become Godfiends’ custom .

The torch of protecting humanity was passed down from one generation of Godfiends to another! If they gave up a population of an entire state without a fight, they would no longer be Godfiends . Those who fought against the heavens and earth for humanity were Godfiends!
