Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 216 - 216 206 Profound Meaning

216: Chapter 206: Profound Meaning 216: Chapter 206: Profound Meaning Jiang Chen picked up the body of the boar demon and collected it, then ordered his men to raise the banner representing his identity as the Demon Suppression Heavenly King.

Majestically, he set off towards the location of the next demon king.

This trip to the mortal realm to suppress demons was for merit and for fame.

Therefore, it wasn’t suitable to be low-key, it should be as high-profile as possible.

Waving the large flag and shouting slogans of upholding justice for Heaven, Jiang Chen led his troops forward, exuding a mighty momentum.

With Jiang Chen making such a big deal of this, the surrounding demon kings weren’t blind; naturally, they noticed and all poked their heads out, looking towards Jiang Chen’s direction.

Upon seeing this, they were truly taken aback.

Wasn’t the other party coming for them?

The demon king who was closest to Jiang Chen was particularly alarmed.

After realizing that he was Jiang Chen’s target, he was so frightened that he became dazed and didn’t move for a long while.

Jiang Chen was not a stranger to him; this was someone who alone had withstood the six demons.

Now such a figure was dealing with him and he would surely not be spared!

This was a bear demon who looked quite fierce, but was cowardly, completely mismatching his body size.

Seeing Jiang Chen leading the army to attack, he was scared out of his wits on the spot.

After a long while, he was awakened by the calls of the demons.

Yet, by this point, it was too late for him to escape.

The bear demon’s eyes flicked, and he did something astonishing.

He suddenly fell to his knees and kowtowed several times in the direction of Jiang Chen.

“Please spare me, uncle.

Please spare me.

This small demon wishes to surrender and serves under your command.”

Jiang Chen, who was not far away, saw this scene and his eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

He had seen many shameless people, but this was the first time he saw such a shameless demon.

In his eyes, the sun and the moon appeared simultaneously, revealing a slight divine light, looking at the bear demon.

He saw a faint blood light wrapped around the bear demon’s body, and a black qi revolving around his brow, emitting an extremely uncomfortable power.

The blood light was an evil aura.

The uncomfortable black qi was karma.

This bear demon, with both evil aura and karma entwined around him, was obviously not a good thing.

Considering this, Jiang Chen didn’t bother to watch his performance any longer, and with a wave of his hand, ordered his subordinates to kill him.

Boom!

Blood energy surged, transforming into a long spear and shooting out.

The bear demon was still kowtowing and didn’t have time to react when he saw the blood-colored long spear rushing at him, piercing his chest, and ending his life.

“Continue killing!”

After collecting the body of the bear demon, Jiang Chen glanced in the direction of the remaining demon kings and said coldly.

Seeing that even the Bear King had knelt down to beg for mercy and was still ruthlessly killed, the faces of the demon kings changed, feeling a chill in their hearts.

“Hiss~~”

“The other party is truly ruthless.”

Realizing that the arrival of the enemy was ill-intentioned, the demon kings worried about ending up like the Pig King and Bear King and began desperately thinking of ways to escape.

It was impossible to fight a tough battle, as any one of the six demons could easily beat them, let alone the incoming person who was stronger than the six demons.

It seems they all wouldn’t be enough to satisfy the enemy’s kill count even if they all attacked together.

Since it was impossible to fight, they might as well run.

But where should they escape to?

An idea sparked in the minds of the demon kings.

Escape to the Water Curtain Cave!

Now, the only one who could save them was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.

As long as they could escape into the Water Curtain Cave, perhaps the other party wouldn’t dare to keep killing them because of the prestige of the Great Sage.

With this thought, the demon kings didn’t even consider their subordinates, directly stirring up winds and rushing towards the Water Curtain Cave on Huaguo Mountain.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen didn’t care, only glancing casually up at the sky.

Immediately, he saw countless golden lines appearing in the sky and intertwining into a huge golden net, blocking the way of the demon kings.

Seeing this, the demon kings, who had transformed into weasels, mice, and rabbits, immediately returned to their original forms and tried to burrow underground, trying to reach the Water Curtain Cave from below.

However, the same golden net appeared underground, blocking their way.

For a moment, the demon kings were in despair.

Because they recognized the origin of the golden net, the Heaven Court’s treasure, the Heaven and Earth Net.

The Heaven Court had two treasures called the Heaven Net and the Earth Net.

Both were mid-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, and together they formed a high-grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Heaven Net blocked the void and the Earth Net engulfed the land.

Once the Heaven and Earth Net was laid down, it could seal everything, banishing all teleportation methods, making it impossible to escape from the heaven and earth.

Of course, the Heaven and Earth Net deployed by Jiang Chen was not the original Heaven and Earth Net but merely a projection.

An Innate Spiritual Treasure was not something that a lowly Demon Suppression Heavenly King like Jiang Chen could use.

What he could use was nothing more than a projection.

No, it’s not that Jiang Chen had special privileges, but this was the standard configuration of the Heaven Court.

As the commander of ten thousand heavenly soldiers, he could obtain a projection of the Heaven and Earth Net from the Heaven Court.

Although Jiang Chen did not command ten thousand celestial soldiers, he had the credentials to do so.

Therefore, the Heaven Court granted him a projection of the Celestial and Terrestrial Net.

Before attacking the Demon Kings of the Seventy-two paths, Jiang Chen anticipated that some might try to escape in the chaos.

Accordingly, he set up a Celestial and Terrestrial Net on Huaguo Mountain in advance, blocking their escape routes.

The projection of the Celestial and Terrestrial Net should not be overlooked; its power couldn’t be ignored.

A Taiyi Golden Immortal would be unable to break through it.

One Celestial and Terrestrial Net can trap a Taiyi Golden Immortal; ten of these could trap a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

Using a net capable of handling Taiyi Golden Immortal to deal with the Demon Kings of the Seventy-two paths seemed like overkill, but it completely cut off the Demon Kings’ chance of escape.

Noticing that all the Demon Kings were caught in the Celestial and Terrestrial Net, Jiang Chen’s eyes narrowed as he coldly ordered:

“Pull the net in!”

Upon hearing this order, the soldiers hurriedly stimulated their energy, transforming into giant hands tens of meters long.

They grabbed the Celestial and Terrestrial Net and pulled it towards the center.

As the Celestial and Terrestrial Net came together, the trapped Demon Kings were ensnared, hanging in a golden net.

“Break it!”

One unwilling Demon King brandished his large sword and injected it with all his magic power, casting out a divine ray towards the net.

Unfortunately, mere Golden Immortal strength could not shake the treasure at the Taiyi Golden Immortal level.

The bursting sword light disintegrated before it even approached the net, breaking under a mysterious divine power.

Then a crackling sound came, arcs of golden electricity appeared on the Celestial and Terrestrial Net, flickering incessantly as they struck towards the Demon Kings.

That was Demon Suppression Divine Thunder, considered one of the tops in the Three Realms.

It’s a pity that this wasn’t the actual body of the Celestial and Terrestrial Net—otherwise, it wouldn’t be the Demon Suppression Divine Thunder appearing, but the Demon Slaying Divine Thunder, a legendary top-notch Innate Divine Thunder.

Rumble!

When the Demon Suppression Divine Thunder struck, the Demon Kings were immediately numbed and emitting black smoke.

Some even gave off the scent of cooked meat, tantalizingly so.

A few Demon Suppression Divine Thunders had rendered these Demon Kings powerless—it turned out they were quite weak.

Jiang Chen shook his head, about to order the execution of these Demon Kings, when a voice suddenly came from the distance:

“Immortal, please show mercy.”

Jiang Chen turned his head towards the sound and saw a demon, covered in golden fur with a monkey face.

He was tall and huge, standing at about five or six zhangs (15-18 meters), wearing a black iron upper-body armor with a silver heart-protecting mirror, a red cloak draped on his back, and holding a large golden staff as thick as a bowl’s mouth in his hand.

He looked like the Monkey King, but he was not.

Instead, he was Commander Liu, one of the oldest monkeys in Huaguo Mountain and the one who asked Jiang Chen for inheritance.

However, when Jiang Chen met him before, he was using a different face, so now there was no need to worry about the old monkey recognizing him.

Even without recognizing Jiang Chen, the old monkey had seen with his own eyes how he single-handedly confronted six demons.

Hence, the old monkey knew that Jiang Chen was a powerful person, likely stronger than his king.

With such thoughts in mind, the old monkey’s tone was naturally three points lower when he spoke with Jiang Chen.

He said, gratifyingly, “Don’t be angry, Immortal.

I wonder how these Demon Kings have offended you that you want to kill them all.”

At his words, Jiang Chen asked somewhat surprised, “Does a Heavenly God need a reason to kill demons and eradicate evil?”

Of course not!

This was as natural as the police catching criminals.

The old monkey was embarrassed upon hearing this.

Indeed, Heavenly Gods didn’t need a reason to kill demons.

However, their identity was now different.

The Monkey King was now an official in the Heavenly Court—a high-ranking one at that.

Thus, they were also somewhat part of the Heavenly Court.

With a forced smile, the old monkey said, “To let the immortal know, my king is the Great Sage, Equal of Heaven, Sun Wukong, who is also an official in the Heavenly Court.”

Nodding, Jiang Chen said: “I know that.

Which is why these Demon Kings deserve to die even more.”

After saying this, Jiang Chen ignored the old monkey’s confused expression and continued: “I am Jiang Chen, the Demon Suppression Heavenly King.

Your king should have mentioned me to you.”

Hearing Jiang Chen’s title, the old monkey immediately showed even more respect and quickly replied, “I have heard of your name.

My king often says, you two have a relationship of life and death.”

The more the old monkey heard this, the more puzzled he became.

If their relationship was so good, why would the Demon Suppression Heavenly King act against his subjects?

Seeing the old monkey’s respectful expression, Jiang Chen knew the Monkey King had been singing his praises.

But he didn’t mind.

Instead, with some disappointment, he said: “The Monkey King is not smart.

You, as his military counselor, are also so confused.”

“The Monkey King has taken an official position on Earth, and you are down here allying with demons.

What are you trying to do?

Do you really think the Great Sage can’t be killed?”

The old monkey was clever, certainly cleverer than Sun Wukong.

Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the old monkey understood his meaning.

They were viewed as rebels, and since Sun Wukong had already been taken prisoner by the Heavenly Court, he should sever ties with them and not continue to associate with demons like this.

On one hand, he was an official in Heaven, and on the other hand, he had unbroken ties with the demons in the lower realm.

Wasn’t he forcing the Jade Emperor to kill him?
