426 Gathering

They suffered a tragic defeat in this battle. Three of the five demon monarchs died, leaving only the two of them alive.

Holy Lady Strings pondered for a moment before saying, “The first reason why we lost so tragically this time is because of the mysterious Godfiend’s Magic Awl. Quicksand died under his hands. I also suffered heavy injuries as a result. Secondly, it’s because of Meng Chuan himself. Meng Chuan’s speed was the main reason why our attack failed; it far exceeded our expectations. My void spiderweb domain was completely useless, so we were unable to form an effective encirclement.”

“Yes.” The stocky mountain demon couldn’t help but say, “His speed is terrifying. He’s faster than many demon sages. How can a Regis Godfiend be so fast?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded and said, “The Heaven Earth laws suppress speed. He shouldn’t be this fast.”

“Could he have broken free of the world’s shackles?” asked the stocky mountain demon curiously.

“Impossible.” Holy Lady Strings shook her head. “To rely on speed to break free of the world’s shackles… that saber art’s might should far exceed your imagination. Even you and I can’t withstand a single strike from such a saber art! Although Monarch Peacock’s body is special, it will probably die from a few chops.”

The mountain demon listened in alarm.

Holy Lady Strings didn’t elaborate further. To break free of the world’s shackles with speed alone… Although Holy Lady Strings hadn’t seen it before, it was recorded in the demons’ secret records. Holy Lady Strings was highly valued by the Imperial Lords, so she once had a chance of reading the secret records.

The duo didn’t dare delay any further as they immediately rushed towards the connection point that linked the World Gap and the Demon Realm.

Holy Lady Strings led the stocky mountain demon to the nearest connection point. They directly tore through the two world membranes and returned to the Demon Realm. They then rushed to the Imperial Lord’s palace. This time, they were summoned by Lady Blackmoon, so they naturally headed for the palace where she was at.

“Holy Lady.” As she flew, she encountered a fifth Firmament demon monarch. The lion demon monarch chuckled and said, “Holy Lady, are you going to the Imperial Lord’s

place?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded slightly and looked at him. “Are you acting alone? Didn’t you go to the World Gap?”

“No,” said the lion demon monarch with a smile. “I’ve been contacting my old friends recently. I’m preparing to form a team to enter the World Gap.”

“Those who didn’t go to the World Gap have been summoned by the Imperial Lord?” Holy Lady Strings frowned slightly.

Why did the Imperial Lord summon them?

try { window._mNHandle.queue.push(function () { window._mNDetails.loadTag("386623558", "300x250", "386623558"); }); } catch (error) { }

Were they going to attack the human world?

They knew that something was amiss. It wasn’t strange for a battle to happen in the World Gap. Human Godfiends and demon monarchs would fight over to see who would obtain possession of a treasure. However, it was abnormal for so many demons to engage in fights and end up defeated in such a short period of time.

“Sister Strings.” A black-robed elder with a dragon head walked over.

Holy Lady Strings looked at him. “Poison Dragon.”

Among the fifth Firmament demon monarchs, they stood at the top.

“I’ve heard that human Godfiends have attacked more than one team.” Patriarch Poison Dragon looked at Holy Lady Strings. “Was your team also attacked?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded.

“The humans come with ill intentions,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon. He was rather excited. He had an undying body, and his essence in life had changed. The more lively the war was, the happier he felt.

Another hour passed. All the fifth Firmament demon monarchs arrived!
