Chapter 1375: 1014: Eight-direction Ghost-Gathering Wealth Array

Between the crevice of two cliffs, the widest part is about dozens of meters; the narrowest only one or two meters, and yet it is thousands of feet high from top to bottom. The crevice is densely populated with various Spider Demons, most of which have spider bodies; a minority have awakened to become Spider Demons, yet they mostly remain in the Qi Refining Stage.

Countless Spider Demons hang themselves on the cliff using spider silk, their eight legs working swiftly, weaving silk of varying thickness into webs and cocoons.

There are also many elderly Spider Demons who can no longer produce much silk, making the silk cocoons into iridescent fabric.

"People of Spiders Valley, Mr. Jiang has brought me to rescue you!" Miss Little Eight looked at her kinsmen with numbed expressions, bursting into tears, but no matter how she called, the Spider Demons kept their heads down, continuing to work busily.

She turned for help, "Sir, is there an array isolating our voices? They’re not responding to me."

Jiang Yuan glanced at the system identification, his brow immediately furrowing, and shook his head, saying, "The array is just to prevent them from escaping, it doesn’t isolate sound. They’re just... oppressed and enslaved for too long, their behaviors have become mechanical. Apart from spinning silk and weaving, they’ve been forbidden to communicate for so long they’ve become somewhat dull."

He opted for a more tactful word instead of directly using the system’s diagnosis of "dementia."

Even so, Miss Little Eight’s tears continued to stream, "No wonder they say ’Under the nest, no egg survives intact’; the tribe scattered and unable to unite, leaving them vulnerable to oppression. I must find all the kinsmen who’ve fallen outside, rebuild Spiders Valley, protect everyone so they won’t be bullied again!"

The lifespan of most Spider Demons is quite long, even if they do not awaken as Demon Cultivators, they can live for three to five hundred years.

But that’s only under carefree living conditions; these slaves, abducted by Snow Cloud Valley years ago, face severe oppression and exploitation. Many young Spider Demons produce silk prematurely and don’t even reach adulthood.

There is a severe discontinuity in knowledge inheritance; many don’t even know where Spiders Valley is.

"Buzz~!"

"Bang!"

Clicking on the use of True Question 100 Skills, the array preventing the Spider Demons from escaping shimmered and buzzed, then burst like a bubble.

[Profound Celestial Crystal Block +5]

[Red Gold Bamboo +3]

......

With the shining light, numerous recovered array materials were automatically picked up into the Storage Bag.

The loud noise made all the busy Spider Demons pause and look up for a moment, then continue weaving silk and fabric.

"Everyone, I’m the new Valley Master of Spiders Valley, here to bring you back to Spiders Valley!" Miss Little Eight wiped her tears and shouted several times in vain, with no Spider Demon responding.

They silently kept busy, like a group of pre-programmed machines.

This scene was extremely eerie, with a touch of Chinese-style horror amid the dense webs. Jiang Yuan stepped up to stop a Spider Demon from weaving and patiently explained, "The bad guys who captured you have faced justice. You are free now, no need to work here."

"Sss... Rush... Goods in rush... Penalty..."

The enormous Spider Demon dared not resist, made anxious noises when forcibly stopped from working, followed by fragmented and incoherent syllables.

He understood that if they didn’t rush this batch of goods out, they would be punished.

Seeing this, Miss Little Eight cried even harder, "Sir, what should we do?"

"Don’t worry, let them stay in a familiar environment first. After we have dealt with Snow Cloud Valley, let’s invite Miss Hu Jiu over to see if she can calm these Spider Demons," Jiang Yuan comforted. "After all, they are Demon Cultivators with awakened intellect; it’s just that they’ve been oppressed for too long, it’ll take time."

With the array broken, the exit was right there, yet not a single Spider Demon dared to look outside or walked out.

With the Ancient Ten Great Sects joining hands with Tribulation Crossing Realm and Mahayana Realm Cultivators along with You Lai’s strong support, the tightly sealed Snow Cloud Valley was captured from the inside out, where all that could be seen were bound Demon Cultivators and nets full of Demon Beasts.

"Master, these are ordinary Demon Beasts without awakened intellect, arranged per your orders to be confined here awaiting disposal." Wan Mingchuan, despite the short duration of this battle, demonstrated leadership qualities.

In an extremely short time, the captives were properly arranged.

The purpose of this expedition by the Ancient Ten Great Sects was to punish the culprits who harmed the Inner Sect Disciples and find out where their souls were suppressed, hence they were not involved in sharing the spoils of war.

Old Dog was in high spirits, eager to sprout extra legs. He saw Miss Little Eight revealing her original form, her eight limbs extraordinarily nimble, and urged her to join him in looting those grand courtyards.

"Without awakened intellect, they were just cannon fodder arranged by Evil Cultivators in the outermost layer; they too are innocent, so let’s send them to the Otherworld." Jiang Yuan surveyed the scene, the system identified nothing special, he then clicked on select all.

Then opened the Flame Sea instance on the interface, a fragmentary circular new world thumbnail came into view.

He skillfully dragged the thumbnail, finding a snowy place similar to Snow Cloud Valley environment and collectively placed those unawakened Demon Beasts inside.

Select all in one second; drag the new world for four to five seconds; click to place and unbind in two seconds.

In less than ten seconds, the tens of thousands of Demon Beasts vanished without a trace. Despite being mentally prepared for his enigmatic methods, everyone couldn’t help but secretly gasp.

Yuan Man drew a sharp breath, pondering how long it would take her, with her Tribulation Crossing realm strength, to make so many Demon Beasts disappear. After thinking it over, even with the ability to move mountains and fill seas, it would be hard to transport so many living beings to the Otherworld without any assistance so effortlessly.
