Chapter 744: Dealing with Smart People Is Comfortable

The demons in the city died in despair. The vast majority of them never knew why, even until death.

Why does the teleport stone fail, and why can no messages get through?

Only a few of the clever ones figured it out before dying.

But what good does it do? They can only lose their souls, eternally at peace, carrying their understanding.

The Enchantress Demon King hides in the distance, watching the demons die endlessly, her heart racing.

If she hadn't become a slave of the Demon Emperor and turned into one of his own, she might now be a member of the city.

She does know the Demon Emperor's methods.

Even without her, the Demon Emperor can still seal off the city.

The mist receded, and the Demon Emperor evidently lost Jiang Chen's trail.

Immediately, the Demon Emperor let out a hoarse, sharp roar, full of anger.

This scene is strikingly similar to Long Huang's.

It seems it had just been staged in the Dragon Clan World. Only the Enchantress Demon King knows that the Demon Emperor is putting on a performance. The acting is so superb that, without her knowing the truth, one would likely be fooled.

In the eyes of outsiders, that's not how it is.

The Demon Emperor struck, engaging Jiang Chen in a fierce battle. Yet Jiang Chen was so cunning that, amid the clash, he slipped a surprise attack on a royal city.

In the end the Demon Emperor raged, and Jiang Chen, unable to match him, fled. Jiang Chen's escape skill is formidable; neither Long Huang nor the Demon Emperor could counter it.

Even the Human Race watching the live stream the whole time thought the same.

Seeing Jiang Chen finally escape smoothly, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No one objected to Jiang Chen's retreat.

The opponent, after all, is the Demon Emperor, a Half-step Super God, one of the strongest in the world.

Among the Human Race, only one Half-step Super God can barely spar with the Demon Emperor.

Facing the Demon Emperor, he can retreat unscathed and even launch a surprise attack on a Demon King city during the battle.

In everyone's eyes, Jiang Chen has already won.

Especially since the Demon Emperor's final roar was identical to the Dragon Race's Long Huang.

Clearly, Jiang Chen held the upper hand.

Jiang Chen's standing in people's minds rose again; they even began to extol his virtues.

The live feed vanished at that moment. Antares closed his eyes, "That's about enough; too much would be overkill."

Under its influence, Jiang Chen has become fully divine.

He has completely surpassed An Shen, legendary figures like White Deity, and can even be said to have outstripped countless ancestors of the Human Race.

Even those Half-step Super Gods are inferior to Jiang Chen.

After all, no one has ever broken into the Dragon Race, nor into the Abyss, let alone razed their cities.

Jiang Chen's actions are undoubtedly a vent of bitterness for the entire Human Race, repaying the blood debt of countless people.

Jiang Chen escaped, and Li Li An did not pursue.

Jiang Chen also knows that Li Li An wouldn't chase. That's how the act goes; Li Li An is very measured, and the two are highly in sync.

Dealing with clever people is comfortable; you don't even need to say much to know what to do.

The direction Jiang Chen took when leaving wasn't chosen at random; it was the one Li Li An gave during the battle.

Li Li An, through her actions, pointed Jiang Chen toward a path.

Coincidentally, in earlier explorations, that direction, a thousand li away, indeed had two royal cities.

When Jiang Chen arrived at the royal city, he found it already sealed.

Not a single demon inside could get out or send any messages.

It was exactly the same as the Enchantress Demon King's city, another generous gift from Li Li An.

Jiang Chen accepted it without hesitation.

Having razed two cities, an upgraded White Light rose around Jiang Chen.

He finally reached level 83, his soul power surged, soaring dramatically.

Jiang Chen looked toward a void, "You've followed all the way, come out."

The void twisted, and the Enchantress Demon King stepped out.

"Divine General Chu Qiao, long time no see," the Enchantress Demon King greeted Jiang Chen.

The two have dealt with each other more than once; they're half acquaintances.

Jiang Chen said, "Aren't you afraid of death?"

The Enchantress Demon King's expression shifted slightly, then she gritted her teeth and said, "You won't kill me."

"If you wanted to kill me, you could have done it long ago."

"And I've already given you the royal cities."

Jiang Chen surveyed the Enchantress Demon King from head to toe; he had to admit, though she is a demon, she perfectly matches the Human Race's aesthetic.

If she didn't have a tail on her back and her ears were so pointed, she'd truly be a great beauty.

Jiang Chen whispered, "You're clever; follow your master, and perhaps you'll keep a life in the future."

After speaking, Jiang Chen activated the Abyss Teleport Stone and left the Abyss World.

He knows pressing on would yield nothing. The Demon Emperor's generous gift has been received; other cities are likely already empty.

The demons scattered, making it time‑consuming and labor‑intensive to hunt them down one by one.

As for those Demon Kings, they're probably hiding deeper. Still, it'll be fine; there will be a chance later, and then none will escape.

Only after Jiang Chen left did the Enchantress Demon King finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Li Li An pointed the direction for Jiang Chen; not only did Jiang Chen understand, she did as well.

So she mustered courage and followed, discovering that indeed two royal cities were sealed off, exactly like her own royal city.

The one who acted need not be named; it was certainly her master Lilyan.

Just as she had thought, Lilyan had indeed set things up, having means to control each royal city.

If at that time she had entertained any other thought, she would probably have died inside the royal city herself.

Lilyan's methods were so high, her actions so cautious, the Enchantress Demon King finally witnessed it.

A flood of cold sweat dripped from her back; fortunately she was still loyal enough.

The dense fog rolled in silently, and the Enchantress Demon King's vision flickered, realizing she had already returned to the Demon Emperor's Huang Gong.

Demon Emperor Lilyan still sat on the Demon Emperor's throne, looking somewhat lazy.

"Got it?" Lilyan's voice carried a hint of coldness.

The Enchantress Demon King trembled and knelt, "Your Majesty, I was only curious, nothing else."

Lilyan gently swayed her wine cup, "I know; otherwise you would already be dead."

The Enchantress Demon King knelt, unable to raise her head, "Your Majesty, how did Jiang Chen know I am your subordinate?"

Lilyan's voice was as pleasant as wind chimes, and as sharp and righteous as Sword Qi.

"Someone as clever as him could never fail to see the truth."

"If you want to survive the final Great Purge, and later wish to live well, then obediently obey."

"I, the Emperor, also cannot do without you; and those little Succubi you deliberately let escape, I will see whether they obey, whether they possess this fate."

The Enchantress Demon King listened to Lilyan's words, her mind racing.

She seemed to know what she should do and what she should not.
