Chapter 777: Six One Five: The Ambitious Three Monsters

Jiang Chen didn’t care about the concerns these three demons had, he had none of his own. He called these three demon lords "demon ancestors", yet he wouldn’t be the unfortunate one. If the demon clan got angry, they’d be looking for trouble with these three demons.

"Brother Jiang, please, do not call us demon ancestors anymore. We three are not blessed enough to carry such a title."

Seeing Jiang Chen’s insistence on calling them demon ancestors, the facial expressions of the three demons gradually darkened, frighteningly so, as if they were ready to strike at any disagreement.

Was Jiang Chen praising them?

Jiang Chen was indeed setting them up for failure. If they dared to accept the title of demon ancestors today, within a century they would disappear from this world, and in the most horrific way at that. This would serve as a warning to the world that the title of demon ancestor is not to be used lightly.

Seeing that if he continued, the three demons would turn hostile, Jiang Chen did not pressure them further. Instead, he sighed regretfully and said, "Ah, we humans would very much wish for the three of you to stand up, to take on the title of demon ancestors and unify the various creatures...."

Upon saying this, Jiang Chen noticed the three demons unsheathed their weapons. He quickly corrected himself, "Alright, alright, I won’t mention it anymore. The three of you, please calm down, let’s not damage the harmony."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the three demons slightly eased. However, they were still cold, throwing an icy glance at Jiang Chen and spoke dismissively, "Brother Jiang, please, join us in the Gouchen Palace."

Jiang Chen was the descendant of the Heavenly Emperor, and Gouchen Palace was the resting place of the Heavenly Emperor. He had stayed on the Gouchen Star for so long, but never entered the palace. The three demons had been quite impolite.

If they continued to refuse him entry, then when Jiang Chen started cursing, the three demons would be forced to endure it in silence, not daring to retaliate.

"Good, let’s talk inside!"

"Since I ascended to heaven, it’s been several hundred years. Although I’m assigned to Gouchen Palace, due to work, I’ve never set foot here. Now that there’s a chance, of course I should take a good look."

"Let’s go, follow me inside..."

Jiang Chen nodded and stepped ahead, bypassing the three demons, marching towards Gouchen Palace. If you didn’t know the situation, you might think he was the master of the Gouchen Palace, and the three demons were guests.

Hmm....

In fact, that was indeed the case. Jiang Chen, holding the decree of the Heavenly Emperor, could be legitimately considered the master of the Gouchen Palace. The three demons, on the contrary, were his nominal subordinates.

Even though that was the truth, the three demons did not know about the decree in Jiang Chen’s possession. Seeing his familiarity and demeanor as if he was the master here, a surge of resentment arose in the mountain demon’s heart.

The three demons had ruled Gouchen Palace for an era, over millions of years, and they had long since considered this place their territory. Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrogance naturally irritated them.

But there was nothing they could do, because with Jiang Chen’s arrival they suddenly realized that this vast Gouchen Palace wasn’t theirs, but the Heavenly Emperor’s. They were simply allowed to stay there temporarily by the Heavenly Emperor.

The thoughts of the three demons could not be hidden from Jiang Chen’s senses, yet he didn’t care. Because the three demon lords were no longer considered threats by him.

When Jiang Chen first met these three demons, he was indeed shocked. After all, they were three Great Perfection Level practitioners. Even though he wasn’t afraid, dealing with them wasn’t as straightforward as one might imagine.

But ever since learning the identities of these three demon lords, Jiang Chen dismissed them from his mind. Yes, they were strong, but killing them would be much easier than expected.

In fact, it wasn’t even necessary for Jiang Chen to take action. Just by speaking up, he could have the three demons annihilated without a burial place and no chance of resurrection.

The biggest weakness of these three demon lords lay in the title of "demon ancestor". If they kept a low profile, the demon clan, even though knowing they were alive, wouldn’t take action against them. But what if their names were spread throughout the Three Realms, attracting countless monsters looking up to them and hailing them as demon ancestors? What then?

The demon clan definitely wouldn’t let them off. Even if it means offending the human race, it would be worth it.

Therefore, for Jiang Chen to kill them was ridiculously easy. All he needed to do was to spread rumors in the Three Realms, exorbitantly praising these demon lords, letting the title of demon ancestors echo through the Three Realms, then death would not be far for these demon lords.

For someone he could kill with just words, why would Jiang Chen even bother? If it wasn’t for this, given his temperament, he would have exploded in anger already, reprimanding these three demons right outside the Gouchen Star.

On Gouchen Star, innate spiritual energy was abundant, chaos energy ascended, and traces of Emperor Qi floated around, adding an extra touch of noble aura to this place.

"What a great cultivation ground, on par with top-tier Cave Heaven Blessed Lands."

Jiang Chen felt a bit jealous. He originally thought that his Cang Mountain, one of the top-ranking Cave Heaven Blessed Lands in the Three Realms, was good enough. But then he had been to Fire Cloud Cave, and learned what a real Holy Land was, far superior to Cang Mountain.

Well, Fire Cloud Cave was understandable, considering that it was the leader of prehistoric Cave Heavens and the retreat of the Three Emperors and Five Sovereigns, its uniqueness was reasonable.

But what about Gouchen Star? The spiritual energy here might not compare to Fire Cloud Cave, but it was many times better than Cang Mountain.

Oh, that’s right, Gouchen Star was also an Emperor Star, one of the five Supreme Stars. Outperforming Cang Mountain was perfectly normal. It would be strange if it didn’t.

Upon this realization, instead of feeling relieved, Jiang Chen felt even more enraged.
