“Senior Brother Meng, I saw 30,000 demon ice sculptures outside the northern city wall. Did any demons escape?” asked the thin man.
“The demons might have split up their troops in advance,” said Meng Chuan. “But amongst the 30,000 demons I encountered, not a single one escaped.”
The thin man was secretly alarmed. Not a single one escaped? This fellow disciple was truly formidable!
“Alright, I’ve no more questions.” The thin man smiled and said, “Leave the rest to Earth Net.”
“Alright.” Meng Chuan also understood the process. He immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and streaked across the sky. He arrived at a distant mountain peak before disappearing completely.
“A few hundred mortals were killed when the demon monarchs entered the city.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently.
“It’s already good enough that only a few hundred were killed during a demon invasion,” Liu Qiyue comforted him.
“Yes, don’t worry. I’m already used to it. The sun hasn’t risen yet. Let’s sleep a little longer,” said Meng Chuan as he lay down.
“Alright.” Liu Qiyue put down her book and continued sleeping.
…
At North River Pass, the demons never attacked again. Perhaps they were trying to come up with a way to deal with the tough nut that was Meng Chuan.
On 27th August, Meng Chuan discovered a request for help in the early morning. He traveled over 300 kilometers, rushing to Gaolan County in Jadedusk Prefecture. An unstable World Entrance had appeared six kilometers away from Gaolan County City. A second Firmament demon monarch led 5000 demons to attack Gaolan County. As Gaolan County didn’t have any Godfiends presiding over it, they failed to put up a resistance.
After Meng Chuan arrived, he killed the demon monarch first. It took him one minute to run around Gaolan County and kill all the scattered demons. Over 8000 out of 90,000 Gaolan County City’s residents died!
As Gaolan County City had weak defenses, the first thing people did was hide in the tunnels. The demons were scattered everywhere in the city because they were trying to force their way into the trap-filled tunnels! The demons didn’t have time to breach the tunnels before Meng Chuan arrived. If he had arrived 15 minutes later, probably no living humans would’ve been left in the city.

“Yes.” Archean Mountain Lord nodded. “Unstable World Entrances have been appearing more frequently. However, these two World Entrances were too far from cities! The demons didn’t send their troops to attack. However, according to Earth Net’s investigations, there should be demons that took advantage of these two World Entrances and infiltrated the human world.”
“Yes.” Supremacy Qin frowned and nodded slightly. “The number of demons that have infiltrated the human world is increasing.”
An unstable World Entrance could appear anywhere. In fact, only a small number appeared near cities.
Most appeared in the wilderness or remote mountains. They were far from any city. As long as they were 25 kilometers away, sending out a demon army would only lead to them being discovered on the way! With the speed the lesser demons could move, Godfiend reinforcements would’ve arrived before they could each reach a city.
Therefore, demons would not attack cities if a World Entrance was too far away. Instead, they sent a few demons to infiltrate the human world. They would spread out in search of opportunities to carry out destruction.
It was also for survival. There was a limit to the number of demons that could be provided for in the Demon Realm. They also had wars that never ended. With the help of unstable World Entrances, they sent batches of demons into the human world. This reduced the burden on the Demon Realm’s various factions. The demons could enter the human world and “earn” a living! They were killing two birds with one stone by doing this!
“These demons sneak in and hide in different areas. They hide in lakes and mountains. Typically, a few greater demons lead dozens of lesser demons,” said Archean Mountain Lord. “It’s not easy to find them. Even if we find them, we will only wipe out a few demons. These demons are finding opportunities to attack human villages and forts.”
“Yes.” Supremacy Qin Wu nodded.
Currently, human villages had forts built to withstand the repeated sneak attacks from the demons.
“To prevent unrest, we claim that World Entrances suddenly appear which result in demons attacking the village forts,” said Supremacy Qin Wu. “In fact, most of these small-scale sneak attacks are done by the demons lurking in our human world. As more and more demons appear, it’ll be impossible for us to hide the truth. When people learn that there are many demons lurking everywhere, I’m afraid it will cause great panic.”
“The demons might have split up their troops in advance,” said Meng Chuan. “But amongst the 30,000 demons I encountered, not a single one escaped.”
