The Demon King was unaware that Meng Huai had directly protected everyone present with a perception barrier.
At this moment, back in his lair deep beneath the sea, the Demon King reappeared. His enraged appearance was quite comical.
The small horns that had begun to grow on him had now retracted. This time, he had lost a clone, and the perception he had absorbed over this period was all wasted.
Back to square one!
The Demon King materialized, clenching his fists and stomping his feet, "That damned formation master! I must see her face!"
Meanwhile, Meng Huai had withdrawn the perception barrier.
Without regard for her own situation, Liu Yue rushed over to Meng Huai, anxiously asking, "Classmate Meng Huai, are you all alright?"
Meng Huai glanced at the people around her and replied to Liu Yue, "Commander Liu, we are fine."
Liu Yue immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. Thank you, classmate Zheng, just now! Without your perception barrier, we would have all been harmed by those strange methods."
After Liu Yue finished speaking, the people from the planet Tu Wang also nodded in agreement.
"Yes, yes, thank you, classmate Zheng."
"Classmate Zheng's perception barrier is truly powerful! Not only is its range so large, but it seems the methods used by that person just now were very formidable. An ordinary perception barrier might not have been able to withstand it!"
"Indeed!"
"You can say that again!"
Everyone assumed that the perception barrier that had saved them was released by Zheng Yiran. Zheng Yiran had already become adept at accepting this goodwill without batting an eye or blushing.
Meng Huai was still exchanging affectionate glances with Zheng Yiran, allowing her to comfortably accept all the thanks.
Speaking of the Demon King's methods, people began to discuss again.
"Who was that just now?"
"He looked so strange."
Hearing the discussions among her subordinates, Liu Yue also asked Meng Huai, "Classmate Meng Huai, do you know who that person was? And what is a Demon King? Is that his name?"
The reason Liu Yue asked Meng Huai was that, during the conversation between the Demon King and Meng Huai, she had concluded that the two clearly knew each other.
In fact, Meng Huai did not know the Demon King.
However, Meng Huai could not say too much, only stating, "I do not recognize that person. I have only encountered some records about demons in books."
"Demons?"
Liu Yue pondered what a demon was, but she could not come up with anything. Seeing Meng Huai's demeanor, Liu Yue knew that Meng Huai was not at liberty to say more, so she did not press further.
Liu Yue asked one of her subordinates, "Duohong, was that recorded?"
Hearing Liu Yue's question, Duohong looked around and confirmed that there were indeed cameras. He then checked his optical computer and quickly found the video of what had just happened.
"Commander, yes, it has all been recorded."
Liu Yue nodded. "Send me the video."
Liu Yue understood that the Demon King was inevitably connected to recent events. Therefore, she needed this video. Moreover, she wanted to share what had just happened with others.
Because it was impossible to guarantee that others would not encounter similar incidents, having this video would allow them to have some methods of response and not be caught off guard.
Since Meng Huai was also present in the video, Liu Yue now considered Meng Huai a valuable person who needed to be treated with respect. Thus, she asked, "Classmate Meng Huai, I plan to send this video to all the stars. Do you need your part deleted? Or perhaps muted?"
Because Meng Huai had exerted great effort, deleting her from the video would undoubtedly appear suspicious. However, if Meng Huai requested deletion, Liu Yue would definitely comply.
Of course, if it were just a matter of muting the audio, that would be even better.
Liu Yue looked at Meng Huai, awaiting her reply.
Meng Huai, however, said, "It doesn't matter, you can handle it as you see fit."
What was exposed today was nothing more than the demon calling her a cultivator. This era probably didn't even know what cultivators were, so it didn't matter if others saw it.
As for spreading the video, it was also a good thing. If one encountered a Demon King or demonic creatures, they could also deal with them using the methods shown in the video.
Although others would certainly not be able to replicate the formation that had trapped the Demon King, Meng Huai believed that they would all think of other methods.
Liu Yue, hearing that Meng Huai did not mind, quickly said, "That would be wonderful!"
After finishing this matter, Liu Yue asked Meng Huai, "Classmate Meng Huai, is there a way to set up that thing that trapped the Demon King just now?"
If they encountered it again, they would have a way to respond.
However, Meng Huai directly refused him, "There is no way to do that. The materials are difficult to obtain. Furthermore, once a formation is built, its location cannot be changed. The Demon King is not foolish enough to deliberately fall into the loopholes, is he?"
Liu Yue looked clearly disappointed upon hearing Meng Huai's words. "Is that so? Alright."
Seeing Liu Yue's dejected expression, Meng Huai had no choice. She could only let him process it himself and said to Liu Yue, "Commander Liu, we should continue to scout the terrain."
"Go ahead, go ahead!"
Within a week, Meng Huai successfully set up the defensive formation. As for the Demon King, there were still continuous attacks from star beasts on the planet Tu Wang. And the people possessed by demonic energy had also become more numerous during this period.
Even the busy Meng Huai knew that one day a high-ranking military official would fall, or a commander would be killed. Every day she heard various news, and Meng Huai knew that because the Demon King's clone had been destroyed, he was demanding double the compensation!
However, demonic energy was something that came and went without a trace, and it was not easily detected.
Only after being possessed by demonic energy could one be identified by the color of their eyes. Undetected demonic energy was generally invisible to ordinary people. Therefore, at this moment, the actions of people on any planet were passive.
Only when something inappropriate was discovered, or a disaster occurred, could people be dispatched. But by then, it was often too late.
During these days, the video of Meng Huai and others dealing with the Demon King on the planet Tu Wang had also spread. Not only within the military, but also, no one knew who spread it, the public had seen it.
Ordinary citizens were now in a state of panic. Many people were being harmed daily in their own lives. Ordinary people had never witnessed real star beasts before, but now star beasts could burst into their homes at any moment.
Only on a few major stars had cities not been attacked by star beasts. But even without the fear of star beasts, there was the fear of those around them suddenly becoming abnormal.
Therefore, everyone lived in a state of trepidation, locking themselves indoors every day. The nutritional supplements on the market had been completely sold out, and all industries were in a state of paralysis.
After all, in such a situation, why work? Why go to school!
Fortunately, the star network had not been paralyzed like transportation. Therefore, people who were idle or trembling with fear could only check for news on the star network every day.
Currently, most of the content posted on the star network was negative information such as which star had fallen again, people around them had been killed, and star beast hordes were near their homes.
Such content made people lose all their spirits, leaving only anxiety!
However, seeing the familiar faces of Meng Huai and others in the videos that had been circulating in the past few days, and seeing them kill enemies, although this enemy looked strange, in this era, the stranger the person, the more problematic they represented.
Seeing Meng Huai and the others 'easily' defeat this enemy, the star citizens felt a glimmer of hope and purpose.
