With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 845 - 617: Extreme Coincidence, Authority of Destruction, Have You Seen a Dragon?

Chapter 845: Chapter 617: Extreme Coincidence, Authority of Destruction, Have You Seen a Dragon?

The activity of the Demon Nest has been frequent, prompting Great Chu to strengthen city defense policies.

Zhongjin City erected high walls two hundred years ago, establishing a Defense Army and city war preparedness levels.

In two hundred years, Zhongjin has only sounded the first-level war preparedness alert three times.

Yesterday was the third time.

Who exactly was the "Great Deity" that performed such a "heroic deed"?

Yesterday, before many people could even rush from their homes, the first-level war preparedness state was already announced to be lifted. People are now curious about what happened yesterday.

"Has the identity of that demon of the Demon Path been uncovered?"

The police chief from Zhongjin, who attended the meeting, nodded and said:

"It has been uncovered. The identities of the ’Human Demon Mentor’, ’Enchanting Demon Mirror’, and the Outer Heaven codename ’Mirror Immortal’ are all the same person—Fang Jianxing!"

Some police officers gasped in shock:

"Hiss... So it’s that Great Demon, with at least a thousand human lives stained by those three identities!"

"Is Fang Jianxing his real name? Hope it’s not another fake."

"It’s real. We’ve researched Fang Jianxing’s ancestry back eighteen generations.

Confirmed his ancestral home in Lu Land, Master Chen Xin, he’s from your hometown."

Chen Xin from Zishou Temple, present at the meeting, shuddered in fear, shook his head repeatedly, and clasped his hands together:

"Amitabha, this humble monk has nothing to do with this fiend..."

The vice president of Zhongjin Martial Arts Association intervened:

"All three of Fang Jianxing’s identities are listed with high bounties in the reward hall, with evidence of their crimes fully documented, a slaughterer indeed.

His downfall is certainly a great fortune for mankind!"

People around nodded repeatedly:

"Indeed!"

"Speaking of which, why hasn’t Master Meng, who slayed this demonic abomination, arrived yet?"

Some wise ones knew who the top seat was reserved for.

Mentioning Meng Chuan, many were invigorated, their faces shining with pride.

"I heard that Master Meng, besides killing the old demon Fang, also eradicated an extremely powerful Celestial Demon together.

After rounds of intense battles, he still needs recuperation, what’s the rush, just wait patiently."

Having heard his subordinates’ discussions, the acting commander cleared his throat and said solemnly:

"Everyone, take out the ’Defense Army Study Guide’ and focus, no chit-chatting all day! Master Meng was exhausted yesterday, getting up late today... is quite normal!

... Shen Fu!"

A young crew-cut officer rose promptly upon hearing his name.

"Present!"

The acting commander ordered:

"Go invite Master Meng. If he doesn’t respond... wait by the door."

"Understood!"

Meanwhile, the incident from yesterday was being spread in every corner of Zhongjin City.

Citizens and street vendors were buzzing with discussion, vibrant and lively.

In a hotel under the Martial Arts Association.

The windows were sealed shut, not a single sound from the outside world seeped in.

At this moment, an inexplicable storm of emotions brewed indoors, even the lights flickered wildly, their brightness vacillating as shadows crossed the room.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the bed with a furrowed brow, ignoring the knocking at the door earlier.

A hundred-inch wall-mounted TV was airing an international news report.

"Yesterday, Japan suffered devastation from a Celestial Demon General, with casualties exceeding half a million.

Our country has dispatched a humanitarian rescue team to assist local ongoing efforts, with the death toll potentially rising further.

Currently, the demon has been slain in fury by the Yaolong Great Saint. The cause of this massive Celestial Demon raid is still under investigation by Japanese authorities."

"..."

Meng Chuan found it hard to believe that this had nothing to do with his master.

Things couldn’t be this coincidental.

From last night till this morning, he had been unable to contact his master, feeling uneasy even when standing in post.

At this moment, an unfamiliar call came through, freezing Meng Chuan in place, his limbs turning cold!

"Moshi... is this ’Infinite Fist’? I am Shangquan Zhenzhi, a very close friend of your master.

A few days ago, your master was in Japan, staying in my home to cultivate in seclusion."

No one would joke with him, and the other’s pure accent made Meng Chuan believe what was being said.

"Elder Shangquan, may I ask about my master..."

"I called to discuss this matter."

On the other side of the phone was Luo Guanyun’s friend in Japan.

A high official of the Shangquan family from the Divine lineage, Martial Arts Grandmaster ’Ocean Jingo · Shangquan Zhenzhi’.

Meanwhile, Shangquan Zhenzhi also heard the television sounds coming from the other end of the line.

A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he composed himself, saying solemnly:

"Your master Luo Guanyun had a fierce battle with our domestic Demon Path organization, the Parasite Association, yesterday, emerging victorious."

"Elder Zhenzhi, where is my master now?!"

Although Meng Chuan’s voice was calm, by the end of his words, he could not conceal his agitation.

How could complete victory result in zero contact?

And the international news broadcast during the call...

Meng Chuan had a bad feeling.

Luo Guanyun was like both a teacher and a father to him.

From the time he failed to reach his master last night until now, even if seriously injured, he could not sleep a wink.

His mind was entirely occupied with worrying about his master’s safety. If something truly happened...

Meng Chuan felt deep remorse, thinking about his master’s unborn child, unsure how to face it all.

"Meng-kun, please remain calm. Yesterday, when the Parasite Association couldn’t defeat your master, they summoned the legendary creature from the abyss—the Yaqi Demon Serpent, which is why your master is now missing.

That beast consumed all of Jingang, venturing to Mount Li to wreak havoc, where it was slain by my Shangquan family’s current Divine Family Head."

Upon hearing these words, Meng Chuan’s eyes glanced at the TV, his heart skipping a beat.

Whatever he feared most, it seemed to come true...

As for the credibility of the other’s words, the news on the television matched up, so there shouldn’t be any deception.

His identity was also easy to verify, eliminating the possibility of being misled.

As Meng Chuan pondered, the voice on the phone continued:
