Journey to the West: I have Nine Golden Crows Inside Me
Chapter 233 - 233 223 The Biggest Harvest

233: Chapter 223: The Biggest Harvest 233: Chapter 223: The Biggest Harvest “Ladies and gentlemen, I’ve already said, I’m here on the Emperor’s verbal command, how could you not believe that?”

“Rather believe in a fellow whose origins are unknown than this authentic envoy of mine, it is truly disappointing.”

“It’s hard to tell whether it’s a problem with Gouchen’s Heavenly Palace becoming increasingly low-key, or because of the greater audacity of the Demon Clan of the Eastern Sea recently that has led to disregard for the Emperor.”

Holding the Emperor’s seal in his hand, Jiang Chen looked at the demons and spoke more and more severely, short of cursing them for having no respect for their superiors and planning a rebellion.

Although everyone knew Jiang Chen was bluffing, he really did hold the Emperor’s seal, representing the Emperor’s will.

Weaker than humans, even if the demons were reluctant, they had to bow their heads and say, “Envoy, your words are heavy.

The Eastern Sea Demon Clan has always been the Emperor’s staunchest supporters, how dare we show any disrespect to the Emperor.”

“If it was not the case, we would not have been so easily fooled.

We respect the emperor in our hearts, and therefore, why would we doubt the people of Gouchen’s Heavenly Palace?”

Well, it seems they can express their sincerity in that way, the Eastern Sea Demon Clan really doesn’t lack capable demons.

However, their sincerity apparently failed to move Jiang Chen.

He laughed coldly and said, “If you’re so loyal, why do you disregard the emperor’s commands?”

“Could it be that the Emperor has taught you how to slaughter the Human Race?”

The demons, being in the wrong, didn’t explain, and just bowed their heads to admit their mistakes, “We are guilty, we are ashamed of the Emperor’s teachings, and have failed to perform our duty of constraining our subordinates.”

Their idea is simple, all you have to do is admit your mistake.

After all, the law does not punish many, they have so many demons, could Jiang Chen kill them all?

Seeing the demons admit their mistakes in such a brazen way, Jiang Chen roughly guessed their idea.

Indeed, even Jiang Chen would not dare to kill them all.

But if the demons thought this way, and thought that it would make Jiang Chen step back, they underestimated him.

Yes, Jiang Chen can’t kill them, he can’t kill the Eastern Sea Demon Clan, but he can kill all the demons present, with the exception of the Great Luo Golden Immortal.

With a wave of his hand, Jiang Chen coldly ordered, “All generals, obey my command.

Kill all these unruly demons.”

The Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, following the order, chanted in agreement and raised their spears.

They formed the Star River formation and went towards the lesser demons.

The senior demons saw that Jiang Chen was serious, and they no longer cared about admitting their mistakes.

They quickly stood up and shouted at him, “Envoy, you mustn’t do this!”

Half of the power of the Eastern Sea Demon Clan is here.

If Jiang Chen really kills them all, it will not only harm the Eastern Sea Demon Clan’s foundations, but it will also greatly weaken the control of the Demon Clan over the Eastern Sea.

From any angle, the demons here cannot let Jiang Chen kill them.

Jiang Chen raised the Emperor’s seal again and shouted at the senior demons who surrounded him, “What, do you also want to rebel?”

Looking at his arrogant and bullying face, it was extremely hateful.

The senior demons secretly suffered, avoiding confrontation with Jiang Chen, and soothed him with a smiling face:

“The envoy should calm down.

The sins of these demons are not enough to merit death.

Please give them a chance to reform.

”

“Once we return, we will severely punish them and restrain their actions, and we will never let them continue to harass the Human Race.”

“The emperor is benevolent, and presumably would not want to see the Eastern Sea stained with blood.”

…

One after another, the senior demons went forward, persuading Jiang Chen to give up the idea of killing the demons here, and used the Emperor’s morality to pressure him.

Truthfully, Jiang Chen was really shaken.

He was also afraid of causing a big fuss, after all, the so-called Emperor’s verbal command was just his nonsense.

If this escalates to the Emperor, the Eastern Sea Demon Clan certainly won’t come off well, but he probably won’t end up any better.

However, with his previous remarks so full, it would make him go back on his words now.

Jiang Chen couldn’t swallow his pride for a while, he needed an out.

At one point, a white demon walked up and discreetly stuffed something into Jiang Chen’s hand, whispering: “The Heavenly Soldiers have spent a lot of effort, this small gift is a token of my respect, to reward the army.”

He talked lightly, but Bai Yao was heart-piercingly sorrowful.

He had given to Jiang Chen an innate white jade, an incredibly precious ingredient for refining postnatal treasures.

It was Bai Yao’s prized possession.

Giving it away like that, how could he not be pained?

After Bai Yao, the demon who had gone to Gouchen Heavenly Palace to deliver the message, also came forward and put something into Jiang Chen’s hand.

Jiang Chen looked down and found that it was a feather, not a Taoist Master Level one, but a Great Luo Golden Immortal Level, its power comparable to that of a postnatal treasure.

Apparently, it must have been a feather this demon had shed.

This demon was actually a flying bird, considered a type of divine beast.

It had the bloodline of the Demon God Da Feng coursing through it, and could boast about having an extremely high speed, normal birds could not catch up.

So, it was the one who was sent to Gouchen Heavenly Palace to deliver the message.

After the demon handed over his feather to Jiang Chen, he said, “Our demon clan from the Eastern Sea has nothing worthy to entertain the envoy with, so we give these million miles around Huaguo Mountain wholly to the envoy.”

“In the future, the Eastern Sea demon clan will not step on this land without the envoy’s order.”

With these words, he gave Jiang Chen a territory spanning a million miles.

This gift showed his sincerity indeed.

After some thought, Jiang Chen was about to negotiate further and reluctantly agree to their request.

But before he could open his mouth, Long Ye secretly whispered to him:

“That’s enough.

If you push them too much and stir up the old monsters in the Eastern Sea demon clan, even with the Emperor’s Seal, I’m afraid you can’t escape the trouble.”

Reminded by Long Ye this way, Jiang Chen stopped bargaining, deciding to quit while he was ahead.

He pretended to express sympathy for all the living things, and said to the demons:

“Fine, the lord is merciful and would not stand seeing rivers of blood in the Eastern Sea.

We’ll spare them this time.

But though they can escape death punishment, they can’t get away from life punishment.

Let them leave their weapons.”

Seeing Jiang Chen finally relent, the demons didn’t care about the pain they felt for their weapons and echoed, “His Majesty is merciful, forging all things!”

As if afraid of Jiang Chen changing his mind, the demons used their divine abilities to pull away over a hundred thousand minor demons, leaving behind only their weapons.

The weapons’ value was not high, but there were many of them, so if they were melted down and made into a magic treasure, it would be as powerful as a top-level postnatal treasure.

Jiang Chen let them leave the minor demons’ weapons, thinking there might be some advantages to be gained from it.

“Envoy, we have other things to do, so we’ll take our leave first.” Having taken away all the minor demons, they proposed to leave Jiang Chen and did not wait for his response.

They left without looking back.

“Respected friends, please keep a close eye on these minor demons.

If they disturb the Human Race again, even if the lord is lenient, they will not be allowed to stay.”

Towards the direction the demons were leaving, Jiang Chen shouted loudly.

This was to prevent the same thing happening in the future.

If these demons fall into his hands again, no pleas for mercy would work.

…

After the Eastern Sea demon clan had all left, Long Ye came forward to carefully look at Jiang Chen and was surprised.

“I didn’t notice before, but you have such a black heart.

This time, I’m afraid you’ve given the Eastern Sea demon clan a real fright.”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen shook his head and said, “Ancestor, you’re joking.

What do you mean I have a black heart?

I’m doing everything by the book, without a single error.”

Seeing Jiang Chen still pretending, not only did Long Ye not get angry, but he also gave him a thumbs up, “Very good, you have the potential to become a strongman!”

Jiang Chen laughed and replied, “Hehe, it’s all because the ancestor taught me well.”

After mutually praising each other for a moment, Jiang Chen finally remembered the main task.

He said to Long Ye and the rest of the Human Race’s high-level fighters, “Please wait for a moment, respected seniors.

Let me finish dealing with the matters at hand and then I will personally express my thanks to each of you.”

If the Human Race’s high-level fighters hadn’t helped, the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers could have probably escaped, but the losses would have been disastrous.

They had done him a great favor, and of course Jiang Chen had to express his thanks.

Everyone heard Jiang Chen’s words and just waved their hands, indicating that it was only right and proper for people of the same race to help each other and there was no need for thanks.

They were about to leave, but Jiang Chen and Long Ye held them back.

They insisted that they stay, or at least stay for a meal.

Helplessly, everyone decided to stay for the time being.

With Long Ye around, Jiang Chen didn’t need to entertain these Human Race experts, allowing him time to take care of his pressing matters.

What pressing matters?

The biggest gain from his journey!
