Chapter 369: Three Five Four Experiment_2

There’s a saying, ’one would rather let one’s dao friend die than oneself’. At such critical times, preserving oneself becomes of utmost importance. Warning the demons within the city before departing is already an act of extreme benevolence and righteousness on their part.

As for whether these demons can escape with their lives, that’s not their concern anymore. Everything now depends on the demons’ own abilities.

Seeing that their leader has left, the demons within the Three Hills City naturally wouldn’t choose to hold the city. Whether it was transforming into a demon wind or employing their Magic Treasures, each deployed their own methods to escape into the distance.

Upon witnessing this, the Divine General Yun Ting sneered, "Want to leave? All of you should stay!"

As his voice fell, Yun Ting waved his hand and long, slender golden threads materialized in the world around him, crisscrossing and overlapping like a fishing net, enclosing the entire Three Hills City within.

The treasure of Heaven Court, the Heaven-Earth Net!

In order to take over Three Hills City, Jiang Chen laid out all ten Heaven-Earth Nets that he had brought from Heaven Court secretly around the city. His goal was to not let any demon escape.

Recently, with Jiang Chen’s breakthrough in cultivation, his worldview expanded exponentially. Many principles he didn’t understand before have now become clear. Even the ideas he was unable to implement before can now be put into practice.

Therefore, his thinking has changed as well.

In the past, Jiang Chen believed that it would be better to kill all the demons within Little Cang Mountain. It would spare a lot of troubles and allow him to reap Merit as well.

But now, Jiang Chen doesn’t think that way. He believes these demons might be more useful alive. He has many ideas that can be tested on these demons.

People’s thoughts inevitably change with the expansion of their horizons. It is a normal occurrence. The higher one stands, the different issues one will consider.

Things that were impossible to do previously can be done now, and naturally, one’s thinking will change. Before, Jiang Chen wanted Little Cang Mountain, but now with his increased power, he wants even more.

He not only wants Little Cang Mountain but also the demons within the mountain.

...

"Capture!"

The moment the Heaven-Earth Net appeared, with a command from Divine General Yun Ting, the surrounding Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers responded, each grabbing a Heaven-Earth Net and drawing it towards the center.

The net was being drawn!

Ten Heaven-Earth Nets, even a Great Luo Golden Immortal caught within would find it hard to escape, let alone the numerous small demons within the Three Hills City.

Without the City Protection Array, they were like fish on a chopping board, at the complete mercy of the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers.

Under the combined efforts of the Heavenly Soldiers, the ten Heaven-Earth Nets quickly contracted into a ball, ensnaring all the hundreds of thousands of demons in the city, leaving them with no escape.

Even the thirteen Taiyi Golden Immortals who ran away first, were also unable to escape the Heaven-Earth Net’s capture.

There was truly no escape under the Heaven-Earth Net. This was proven by countless demons with their lives.

Crackle!

Some unwilling demons in the Heaven-Earth Net struggled desperately to escape. However, the harder they struggled, the tighter the net would become.

In the end, golden Demon Suppression Heavenly Thunders appeared and shocked them till their bodies convulsed.

After a while, all the demons were electrocuted into unconsciousness. Only then did the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers come forward, seal these demons’ powers with a secret method, and put them all under arrest.

At this time, Divine General Yun Ting stepped forward and reported to Jiang Chen, "True Monarch, we’ve taken over Three Hills City and every demon has been captured. What should we do next?"

Nodding his head, Jiang Chen helped Yun Ting up. "You’ve all worked hard. After entering the city, every treasure found will be distributed amongst the soldiers."

The Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers were his personal troops and he wouldn’t forget to reward them. The treasures within the city were captured by them and they deserved a share.

The stronger the Demon Suppression Heavenly Soldiers, the more useful they were to Jiang Chen. Therefore, he wouldn’t be stingy with them.

...

......

Once inside the city, Jiang Chen’s divine sense swept across, and the entire situation of the Three Mountains City was reflected in his mind.

Even the city’s treasury, no matter how well hidden it was, no matter how many heavy array laws were arranged for protection, couldn’t hide from Jiang Chen’s perception. He found them one by one.

After a quick overview, Jiang Chen withdrew his divine sense without any interest. As he expected, there was nothing good in these treasuries. Although they did have some value, they were not appealing to him.

This was normal, after all, if the Three Mountain City truly had any valuable treasures, they wouldn’t remain in the city. The most precious ones should have been taken by the city’s only Great Luo Golden Immortal, which was already acquired by Jiang Chen.

Next in line would be carried by the Taiyi Golden Immortals in the city. And the treasures left in the city are mostly common resources.

If there is no strong person in the lair, no one dares to establish a treasury. Otherwise, if it’s stolen, it would infuriate them.

The Jiang Family and Dragon Clan dared to establish treasuries because there are countless powerful people within the clan. They weren’t scared of being stolen from or unnoticed.

However, in Three Mountain City, there was only one Great Luo Golden Immortal, who was often not in the city. Considering the selfish nature of demons, how would they leave treasures in the city?

If they left their treasures behind, I’m afraid by the time they come back from a trip, the treasure would have already belong to someone else.

Jiang Chen casually took out the storage magic treasures of the thirteen Taiyi Golden Immortals, glanced at them. Only a few pieces of Innate Divine Iron and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine caught his eye, the rest were not worth mentioning.

After becoming an Innate Divine Demon, it seemed instinctive that any Post-heaven items no longer attracted Jiang Chen’s attention, only the Innate items could slightly move him.

This change couldn’t be ranked as good or bad.

"Ah, I am really poor!"

Jiang Chen was hoping for some benefits, but after seeing the results, he couldn’t help but feel helpless.

He had no choice but to use his own resources, and he took out the Post-heaven essence, mixed it with Innate Divine Water, and distributed it to the soldiers of the Demon Suppression Army, which was also a sort of benefit for them.

Afterwards, Jiang Chen ordered some materials to be gathered locally to start repairing the damaged Three Mountains City and rearrange the City Protection Array. He commanded the God of the Land and Mountains to move the Earth Veins here, completely occupying it like a resident.

Jiang Chen used Three Mountains City as a base to gradually radiate towards the surrounding areas, aiming to slowly erode the powers of the Little Cang Mountain range.

Boom...

When the Three Mountains Range was completely captured by Jiang Chen, the Fate of the Three Mountains City descended upon him from the invisible realm.

However, Jiang Chen already had a lot of Fate. Just the Fate brought by his position as a True Demon Suppression Monarch far exceeds the Fate of Three Mountains City. Not to mention, he also had the Jiang Family’s Fate and the supreme Fate, etc.

Therefore, although the Fate of the Three Mountains City is not small, it didn’t catch Jiang Chen’s attention.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the Nine Heavens Fragments under the Little Cang Mountain Range, even the entire Fate of the Little Cang Mountain Range wouldn’t have been a concern to Jiang Chen.

If the Little Cang Mountain Range was a place of booming Fate, it wouldn’t have been Jiang Chen’s call to intervene.

...

At this moment, Jiang Chen’s attention was all focused on those captured demons, and he didn’t pay attention to the changes in Fate.

Over three hundred thousand demons, this was the entire demon population living in the Three Mountains City, and they had all been captured by the Demon Suppression soldiers.

Among them, there were thirteen Taiyi Golden Immortals, more than two hundred Golden Immortals, over a thousand Mysterious Immortals, and more than thirteen thousand Celestial Immortals. The rest were all Earth Immortals and Human Immortals, as for the Post-heaven demons, there were none.

"These many demons, should be able to help me verify my thoughts." Jiang Chen thought to himself, staring at the demons up ahead.

He intentionally kept these demons, the purpose was to verify his own thoughts, using them as experimental subjects.

However, before verifying his thoughts, Jiang Chen had one more thing to do.

Swoosh...

A divine light flashed past Jiang Chen’s eyes, staring at the group of demons in front of him.
