Chapter 267 Demon Monarch Sand Thicket
Meng Manor, Lake Heart Pavilion.
Meng Chuan descended with his children. He looked at his children. They were clearly still in a daze.
This is the real world? The siblings felt that the buildings were very illusory. Cities with plumes of billowing smoke, ferocious demon monarchs, and a large number of human corpses. These scenesmore tragic than even their worst nightmares âconstantly surfaced in their minds.
A large number of people struggled to survive in the wilderness. They thought of the children that lived underground and stared at the sky through the weeds and the child that had been seriously cultivating on the shipâs bow. Countless similar scenes could be seen in the wilderness. On the way back, Meng Chuan and his children passed through the vast wilderness. The siblings saw many such scenes.
For as long as they could remember, they only saw scenes of a bustling Jiang State Capitalâthat had a population of more than ten million people. They had also seen many extravagant scenes.
They saw the darkness and tragedy outside the city, and people dressed in dirty gray clothes. In contrast, the people in the bustling Jiang State Capital dressed gorgeously.
It was as if they were two completely different worlds! Their reason told them that 99% of the world lived in the wilderness. That was the real world. However, they had lived in Jiang State Capital for a long time. They were more familiar with life in Jiang State Capital.
âItâs actually like this outside the city?â The siblings were heavily impacted by all the scenes they had seen.
Liu Qiyue walked to Meng Chuanâs side and asked softly, âWhat happened to Youâer and Anâer?â
âWe flew more than 1,500 kilometers and encountered demon monarchs attacking a city. They saw demon monarchs massacring humans with their own eyes,â said Meng Chuan. âI then brought them to many places in the wilderness to take a look. Grasslands, lakes, forests, and the deep mountains⌠I let them take a look whenever we passed by something. Thatâs how most people live in the world.â
Liu Qiyue nodded slightly.
âTheyâve just suffered a huge wake-up call. I believe theyâll get used to it soon,â said Meng Chuan. âWatch over them for the next two days. Iâll head out first.â
âHurry up and leave. Leave Youâer and Anâer to me.â Liu Qiyue nodded.
Meng Chuan didnât have the time to counsel his children. He left everything to his wife. He immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew towards the eastern horizon.
Meng Chuan burrowed 40 kilometers deep into the ground. It was as dark and lonely as ever.
Boom! The Divine Eye of Lightning at Meng Chuanâs glabella opened long ago. He transformed into a bolt of lightning and flew into the rock layer. Underground, his electromagnetic domain had a range of 1.5 kilometers.
Underground reconnaissance was always lonely.
Supremacy Qin Wu had asked Meng Chuan to keep his identity a secret, causing the demons to think that King White Treasure was the one massacring the demons in the Great Zhou Dynasty as he conducted underground reconnaissance. This was to be kept a secret as long as possible. This was a form of protection for Meng Chuan. Although Meng Chuan was very powerful, he was still weaker than King White Treasure.
King White Treasureâs fame had spread across the world. All the Godfiends in the world were amazed and impressed by his accomplishments.
Meng Chuan was relatively less famous. Only a handful of people knew that he had a similar underground reconnaissance efficiency as King White Treasure. No matter how meritorious his deeds were, he had kept everything a secret!
Itâs been three months since I obtained Origins Returning baneful aura, but my cultivation is very slow. Origins Returning baneful aura is too demanding on the body. I can barely absorb and refine it even with my Undying Bodyâs lifeforce. As Meng Chuan flew and probed his surroundings, he thought about other matters. This was how he stopped himself from feeling lonely. With my current cultivation speed, I will take more than a year to refine two cubes of Origins Returning baneful aura completely. However, thatâs also a good thing. The stronger the Origins Returning baneful aura is, the stronger my baneful aura domain will become after I completely refine it.
Meng Chuan flew as he considered his reconnaissance route. In the past three months, Iâve mainly patrolled at a depth of 40 kilometers underground. Iâve only patrolled at a depth of 80 kilometers a handful of times. Iâve already explored over half of the Great Zhou Dynastyâs territory at a depth of 40 kilometers. I reckon that Iâll be done with my probes at a depth of 40 kilometers in half a year. Iâll switch to another depth after Iâve finished.
His definition of completion meant that he had swept more than 95% of the Great Zhou Dynastyâs territory at a depth of 40 kilometers underground. Even though Godfiends had precise control over space and could remember every single path they took, there were still some areas they wouldnât cover. At the same depth, it was enough for one to check over 95% of the entire dynastyâs territory. If one insisted on checking 100% of the dynastyâs territory at a certain depth? It would take much more time; it wasnât worth it.
I estimated that there would be the most demon monarchs at a depth of 40 kilometers. However, there arenât as many demon monarchs as I expected. Do the demon monarchs in the Great Zhou Dynasty believe that we wonât carry out large-scale underground reconnaissance; thus, they donât go this deep? Iâll patrol at a depth of 31 kilometers next.
As Meng Chuan flew and pondered, his eyes suddenly lit up.
His electromagnetic domain discovered another demon lair. Inside the demon lair, the demon monarchs were either sleeping or cultivating. Meng Chuan instantly attacked and killed eight demon monarchs and more than 100 ordinary demons.
He scanned his surroundings systematically.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Exhausted, Meng Chuan dove to a depth of 80 kilometers underground.
According to Meng Chuanâs daily routine, he would patrol at a depth of 80 kilometers four times a day. He patrolled at this depth in search of fourth Firmament demon monarchs, but there were too few fourth Firmament demon monarchs. Meng Chuanâs efforts for the past three months hadnât yielded results. However, he still spent some time patiently patrolling at a depth of 80 kilometers underground every day. This was because a fourth Firmament demon monarchâs destructive capability was comparable to that of thousands of ordinary demon monarchs.
The Great Zhou Dynastyâs Yuan State, 79 kilometers underground.
The gray-robed Greater Demon Monarch Sand Thicket silently returned to his underground palace.
Inside the palace, demon monarchs fawned over him respectfully. Greater Demon Monarch Sand Thicket returned to the palace and sat on his throne. Immediately, a demoness offered him delicacies and fine wine.
Gulp. Gulp. Gulp. Sand Thicket grabbed a flask of wine and gulped half of its contents down. Only then did he put down the flask and frown.
âWhatâs troubling you, Your Majesty?â Another demoness snuggled up to him and fed him grapes.
Sand Thicket frowned and said, âI went out to receive a messenger. The messenger brought the Imperial Lordâs orders.â
âThe Imperial Lordâs orders?â The surrounding demon monarchs felt their hearts tighten.
The three Imperial Lords of the Demon Realm were supreme. They all had long lifespans, and no demon monarch dared to disobey the orders of an Imperial Lord.
âThe Imperial Lord has ordered us fourth Firmament demon monarchs to hide until further notice. We are not to attack the humans,â said Sand Thicket suspiciously.
âAll are to hide? Not to attack humans?â The ordinary demon monarchs were puzzled as well.
âWe came to the human world to eradicate the human race and occupy this world. Why are we forbidden from attacking?â

âItâs indeed strange.â The demonesses serving him discussed softly. One of the demonesses said, âCould it be that the Imperial Lord has some grand plan?â
âWhatever the plan is, just obey the Imperial Lordâs orders. It is much safer to hide.â Sand Thicket couldnât be bothered to think further. He finished the pear that had been fed to him in a single gulp. He hugged the demoness and planted a heavy kiss on her, causing her to moan incessantly. The other demonesses beside him became even more attentive.
Sand Thicket felt extremely happy.
Suddenly, an electromagnetic wave swept across the cave abode. Sand Thicketâs expression changed drastically as his heart instantly turned cold.
