Chapter 704: Grandfather and Grandson’s Reunion

Meng Yu was stunned. Grandson?

This familiar voice reminded Meng Yu of his grandfather, whom he had only met a few times.

“You still want to escape?” The armored figure’s lips curled into a sneer. How could a mere Third Tribulation Eminence possibly resist?

He immediately struck out with his palm, hoping to freeze Meng Yu completely. But halfway through the strike, the armored figure’s eyes widened. He had already lost consciousness, and the might of the strike dissipated.

Meng Yu fled in fright as he used his sword technique to defend himself. Sword beams shielded his surroundings.

“Eh?” Meng Yu realized that, although the palm strike’s might seemed terrifying, it had completely dissipated. Only a tiny portion of it affected him, allowing him to withstand it easily. Following that, he saw the armored figure fall to the ground with a thud.

The armored figure remained motionless, no longer breathing.

He’s dead? Meng Yu was somewhat alarmed. A Fifth Tribulation Eminence silently died just like that?

A Fifth Tribulation Eminence could preside over an entire river system. Even in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, they would occupy the top of the pyramid. Yet, he had died just like that?

“Grandson.” A voice sounded from ahead.

Meng Yu looked up and saw a white-robed, white-haired, and middle-aged man smiling at him.

“Grandfather.” Meng Yu revealed a look of delight as he ran over. Following that, he thought of something and immediately said, “Grandfather, shouldn’t we take back the treasures we obtained? Apart from that fatty, the others don’t have any relationship with me.”

“Snatch treasures?” Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback.

“Yes, 200,000 cubes’ worth,” said Meng Yu immediately. “A huge treasure trove!”

Such a treasure trove was enough to make Fifth Tribulation Eminences risk their lives. It even made Sixth Tribulation Eminences envious. It was no wonder Meng Yu was concerned. He knew that his grandfather was fighting a great enemy in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, so a huge treasure trove should be able to help his grandfather.

Furthermore, Meng Yu was used to all kinds of schemes being pitted against one another while roaming the outer realm. His companions had only discovered the ruin with him; they didn’t have any relationship with him. Apart from the fat elder, the others in the cave abode even had a falling out with him for the treasures.

If it weren’t for the agreement they made beforehand and their unwillingness to shoulder the karma, they probably would’ve fought each other in the cave abode.

“I’ll destroy that traitor then,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

A snake-scaled man—who was fleeing—silently turned to dust. At the same time, Meng Chuan waved his hand and put away all the treasures. He also put away the Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s corpse since it was still worth something.

The fat elder and the purple-robed man fled in panic. When they felt that no array formation was suppressing them, they used Lesser Void Transference to escape.

Whoosh. Whoosh.

After the two successfully teleported and fled far away, they heaved sighs of relief.

We actually managed to escape? The fat elder and the purple-robed man were in an unfamiliar void. They were both glad and somewhat puzzled. A Fifth Tribulation Eminence had prepared an ambush ahead of time, yet they actually managed to escape? They were really lucky.

...

On the ancient planet, Meng Yu was somewhat surprised to see his grandfather let the two Fourth Tribulation Eminences go. “Grandfather, releasing one more person means losing tens of thousands of cubes of treasures. Grandfather, don’t you have a powerful enemy?”

“What I lack isn’t treasures but cultivation,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

“Grandfather, what realm are you at now?” Meng Yu couldn’t help but ask this. He made a Fifth Tribulation Eminence die silently? How powerful is my grandfather?

Meng Chuan was stunned, but his expression didn’t change as he sighed. “I’m only a half-step Sixth Tribulation Eminence now. My enemy is a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence; he has been invincible in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm for many years. However, I’m an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence. With me obstructing him, he can forget about controlling Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.”

Meng Yu understood; he knew how special Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences were. His grandfather relied on the Essence Soul Tribulation realm’s uniqueness to fight a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

“What’s the name of the enemy?” asked Meng Yu.

“I can’t tell you. Karma will form if you know, and this enemy might discover your existence,” said Meng Chuan.

“I understand.” Meng Yu understood that he was still too weak!

“Grandfather, I obtained quite a number of treasures this time. They should be worth nearly 50,000 cubes.” With a flip of his hand, Meng Yu took out a storage treasure. “Grandfather, I’m still weak. Having 5,000 cubes for myself is enough; I’ll give the rest to you.”

Meng Chuan blinked when he saw this. What a good child. He is just too filial.

“That’s true; you won’t be able to use most of these treasures. I’ll help you exchange them for something suitable for you in Eternal Tower.” Meng Chuan reached out and received the treasures. He thought that he had to prepare a gift for his grandson. With a thought, Meng Chuan knew that there were 150,000 cubes in total from the Fifth Tribulation Eminence, the traitor, and Meng Yu.

I’ll double it! I’ll prepare a treasure worth 300,000 cubes for my grandson. This was enough for a Third Tribulation Eminence.

His grandson probably couldn’t tell the true origins of such a treasure.

I can only buy some ordinary treasures at Eternal Tower. Some precious treasures can only be bought by Fifth Tribulation Eminences or even stronger experts. Meng Yu also knew this.

...

Heavenly Cycle River Zone, Fire Cloud Fiend Palace.

Fiend Lord Fire Cloud was the strongest expert in the entire Heavenly Cycle River Zone. He was a top existence among Sixth Tribulation Eminences, and he was also a core member of Black Fiend Hall.

His Fire Cloud Fiend Palace was also the largest fiend cave in the entire Heavenly Cycle River Zone. Many Tribulation Eminences cultivated here, as well as a large number of Imperial Lord servants.

In an underground chamber of the Fiend Palace, Fiend Lord Fire Cloud sat cross-legged amidst rising purple flames. He had two horns on his head and thick scales all over his body. He was as heavy as a mountain.

Huh? Fiend Lord Fire Cloud received news from his subordinates.

Fuming was just about to succeed in obtaining the treasures from a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s cave abode ruin worth nearly 200,000 cubes when he was attacked by a suspected Sixth Tribulation Eminence? Fiend Lord Fire Cloud was furious when he received the news. Everyone in the entire Heavenly Cycle River Zone knows that Fuming is a member of Black Fiend Hall and that he’s my subordinate. To dare attack him directly, this person is an enemy of Black Fiend Hall, as well as me!

Black Fiend Hall was domineering in its dealings. They would take Sixth Tribulation Eminences into account and avoid Sixth Tribulation Eminence factions when they attacked. However, Sixth Tribulation Eminences couldn’t provoke Black Fiend Hall. If they took the initiative to provoke Black Fiend Hall, Black Fiend Hall would crazily counterattack and kill them to serve as a warning to others.

It was rare for Black Fiend Hall to endure the two times Meng Chuan had crossed them.

I want to see who it is. Fiend Lord Fire Cloud looked at the location of the cave abode according to the intelligence. Afraid that he would be late, he immediately used a Void Transference Talisman to head there.

To a River Zone-level expert like him, a Void Transference Talisman was nothing. Only a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman was considered precious.

...

Not good. Let’s go. Meng Chuan sensed something and immediately left with Meng Yu.

Meng Yu was somewhat dazed.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan and his grandson left this ancient planet, but another Meng Chuan remained.

I can get away with killing a Fifth Tribulation Eminence from Black Fiend Hall, but killing a Sixth Tribulation Eminence won’t be that easy to get away with. When Meng Chuan left with his grandson, he naturally left an Essence Soul avatar behind.

Meng Chuan looked up at the void outside the planet. A stocky figure—which emitted a monstrous flaming aura—appeared in the void. It was none other than Fiend Lord Fire Cloud.

Fiend Lord Fire Cloud had a vast aura. As a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence, he was virtually invincible in the River of Spacetime.

Huh? Fiend Lord Fire Cloud saw the white-robed, white-haired man on the planet. Although Meng Chuan had restrained his aura and looked ordinary, Fiend Lord Fire Cloud still recognized him at a glance.

City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan—White Avian Hall’s Deputy Patroller! A peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence!

How could he offend a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence who grasped a spatial law?

“So it’s City Lord Eastcalm.” Fiend Lord Fire Cloud immediately wore a humble, honest smile. “City Lord Eastcalm, it’s truly a blessing for our Heavenly Cycle River Zone to have you grace us with your presence.”

“Why are you here?” Meng Chuan looked at him.

“I was just passing by.” Fire Cloud smiled obsequiously. “I’ll leave now.”
