Chapter 539 Skydemon Sect’s Plea

On the sixth day of the new year at Archean Mountain, the mountain still had the new year’s festive vibes .

Inside Grotto-Heaven Pavilion, Qin Wu stood with his hands behind his back . He frowned slightly, appearing somewhat frustrated .

Meng Chuan, you are Archean Mountain’s current leader . You went into seclusion immediately and threw all your responsibilities at me . You clearly have so many Essence Soul avatars, so can’t you have an Essence Soul avatar presiding over the sect’s matters? Qin Wu was rather helpless . He glanced at a nearby room . The room led to a grotto-heaven . I wonder when he will exit seclusion .

Amidst his frustrations, a figure descended from the sky . It was Meng An . “Meng An . ” Qin Wu smiled when he saw Meng An . Although Meng An’s talent couldn’t compare to a monstrous genius like Meng Chuan, he was still very outstanding . His current strength was probably slightly higher than Qin Wu’s .

“Master,” said Meng An humbly .

When Meng An entered Archean Mountain, Qin Wu was still the one managing Archean Mountain . He was also the one that gave lectures at Grotto-Heaven Pavilion .

Qin Wu helmed Grotto-Heaven Pavilion for 300 years . Many had attended Qin Wu’s lectures . From grandfather, father, to children, all of them addressed him as Master .

In the past 300 years, Qin Wu had too many disciples . These disciples had various relationships between themselves—father and son, husband and wife, etc . “Meng An, what’s the matter?” asked Qin Wu . “I need to discuss something with my father, but I can’t contact him,” said Meng An . “I heard that Master is in charge of Grotto-Heaven Pavilion now, so I wanted to ask, what’s up with my father now? He ignores me even when I’m looking for him . ” “Your father is in seclusion,” explained Qin Wu . “He ignores everything in the outside world unless something extremely important happens . ”

“Seclusion?” Meng An couldn’t help but ask, “How long will it take?”

“Your father only told me that he should be out of seclusion within a year . I’m not sure about the exact time,” said Qin Wu .

“In a year?” Meng An heaved a sigh of relief . “There’s still time . ”

At that moment, a disciple carefully came over and bowed respectfully . “Greetings, Supremacies . Skydemon Sect’s sect master has come to the mountain and wishes to seek an audience with Imperial Lord Eastcalm . ”

“Oh?” Qin Wu was somewhat surprised . “Let’s go . Lead the way . ”

“Yes,” said the disciple respectfully .

Meng An did not follow . It was good enough for one Supremacy to meet the Skydemon Sect’s sect master . How could a few Supremacies meet him?

In a large hall on Archean Mountain . Qin Wu entered the hall .

“Master . ” The current Archean Mountain Lord, King Sword Nine, immediately stood up . Qin Wu sat in the main seat of honor, while King Sword Nine obediently sat by the side .

Qin Wu looked at the elegant middle-aged man in front of him . “Skydemon Sect’s sect master?”

The middle-aged man had some white hair . His entire body was somewhat dark . It was an Essence Soul avatar .

“Greetings, Supremacy Qin Wu . ” Skydemon Sect Master smiled and bowed . His smile naturally carried an evil charm .

“I never expected the Skydemon Sect’s sect master to have a sixth-level Essence Soul,” said Qin Wu in surprise . He had high talent in Sword Dao, but he was relatively inferior when it came to cultivating his Essence Soul . He had only attained a sixth-level Essence Soul after having his wish of winning the war fulfilled .

As for this mysterious Skydemon Sect Master, he had a sixth-level Essence Soul .

Skydemon Sect Master had cultivated the incomplete Skydemon system to the fifth Firmament Skydemon realm . His Essence Soul cultivation talent was even higher, allowing him to hold the position of sect master firmly .

“My body was flawed . I couldn’t condense a core using the Godfiend system,” said Skydemon Sect Master with a smile . “Instead, the Skydemon system is especially suitable for me . However, I’m only a fifth Firmament Skydemon . I only have less than a century left to live . ”

Qin Wu looked at him . “Why are you here?”

“Where’s Imperial Lord Eastcalm?” asked Skydemon Sect Master . “This matter concerns the fate of the Skydemon Sect’s many Skydemons . I hope to meet him and hear him promise . ”

King Sword Nine frowned and shouted angrily, “Speak!”

The three human sects had always been hostile towards the Skydemon Sect . After all, this was a faction that had betrayed humanity!

Over the years, it had caused too much harm to humanity . This was because many Godfiends and mortals had died as a result of Skydemon Sect’s machinations . Some young mortal geniuses had died at the hands of the Skydemon Sect . Now, he came acting arrogantly, disregarding Supremacy Qin Wu and asked for Imperial Lord Eastcalm?

“I’ll speak . ” Skydemon Sect Master didn’t insist further . He smiled and said, “I represent many Skydemons to beg for survival . ”

“Survival?” Qin Wu looked at him . “Yes, surrender . I can guarantee your survival . ”

“If we surrender, we will probably be imprisoned immediately . We will suffer daily torment . We don’t wish to live like this,” said Skydemon Sect Master with a smile . “All of us Skydemons want to live . We hope that the human Godfiends can let bygones be bygones . I hope that my Skydemon Sect’s cultivators can openly live under the sun safely . The three sects will treat us and ordinary Godfiends as equals . If we are to commit any more heinous crimes, the three sects can punish us severely . However, if we don’t commit any crimes, the past should not be pursued any further . ”

Qin Wu frowned when he heard that . He waved his hand . “You have to pay the price for your sins . You can scram if you want your punishments to be waived . Let’s see if you can escape our Archean Mountain’s pursuit . ”

Skydemon Sect Master indifferently said, “Our Skydemon Sect is entrenched amongst humanity . Even after all these years, Godfiends have still failed to find us . Likewise, they won’t be able to find us in the future . If we are not spared, the Skydemons will have no room for retreat . We can only continue to be enemies with the Godfiends . If this happens, many people will die . ”

“Oh?” Qin Wu looked at him . “Continue . ”

“Actually, I only have a few decades left to live . If I don’t surrender, I can still continue living a carefree life,” said Skydemon Sect Master . “I’m just passing a message on behalf of the many Skydemons . Many Skydemons wish to live . If the Godfiends don’t give them a way out, the Skydemons can only counterattack crazily . Therefore, I advise Supremacy Qin Wu to think it over . ”

Qin Wu glared at him . “Dream on . ”

“The Skydemon Sect now has more than 1,000 Skydemons . Three of them have reached the fifth Firmament realm,” said Skydemon Sect Master . “As for the ordinary disciples that have yet to become Skydemons, there are countless of them . They are all mortals and are everywhere in the cities . Are the three sects sure they won’t let us live? I think we should ask Imperial Lord Eastcalm about this and let him decide . ”

Qin Wu looked at him and said coldly, “Meng Chuan will be informed of this matter . The three sects will also need to discuss it . Due to the huge implications, we will give the Skydemon Sect an answer a year later . ”

“Alright, we’ll wait for the Godfiends’ reply . ” Skydemon Sect Master smiled slightly before turning to leave .

Qin Wu watched as the other party flew away .

“Master?” King Sword Nine looked at Qin Wu . “The Skydemon Sect is different from the demons . ” Qin Wu frowned and said worriedly, “The Skydemon Sect has entrenched itself by infiltrating every corner of the world . Skydemon Sect members might be hiding in large cities and even ordinary villages . If they attack, the destruction they can cause will indeed be very great . I have to think about how I can reduce the losses and get rid of these traitors . ”

King Sword Nine nodded .

Another month passed .

Demon monarchs came to the mountain .

The demon monarchs in the human world, especially the fourth and fifth Firmament demon monarchs that were hiding in small grotto-heavens, could only return to the Demon Realm via large and super-large city passes . Those city passes were securely defended, making it impossible for them to return .

Now that they had lost the war, they could only hide in the human world forever . Such days were simply a nightmare .

Therefore, they could only negotiate .

Spring passed and summer came . Meng Chuan had painted for five months and nine days .

Meng Chuan was still in the hall . He was still sitting cross-legged and painting seriously .

Whoosh .

As he raised his brush, Meng Chuan stared at the painting in front of him . It was an extremely long painting . The canvas prepared by Meng Chuan was only 300 feet long . This was something Meng Chuan had deliberately prepared . However, he connected three pieces of canvas together, forming a super-long painting .

At the end of the painting, one could see the scene of a bustling, peaceful world as it experienced prosperous days . “Everyone . We didn’t let your sacrifices go to waste . We won this war,” said Meng Chuan . This was said to the Godfiends and billions of warriors who had died in battle . Following that, he wrote one word on the right side of the painting-Backbone .
