Chapter 140: Su Chen Talks About Heaven-Mixing, Bull Niu Mowang Speaks of Kill Kun Peng
Inside the Water Curtain Cave, a gigantic stone table was placed in the center of the crowd.
On the table were all kinds of rare fruits and jars of fragrant monkey wine.
Su Chen and the six Great Sages sat around the table.
Sun Wukong picked up a wine bowl and said to Su Chen, "Little brother, let's have a drink."
Su Chen smiled, picked up the wine bowl, clinked it with his, and said, "Sorry for making Brother Monkey worry."
After saying this, the two drank it all in one gulp.
"Refreshing!"
Sun Wukong put down the wine bowl, wiped his mouth, and asked, "By the way, little brother. Did you encounter any trouble on this trip?"
Su Chen put down the wine bowl, pondered for a moment, and began to recount his experience this time.
Of course, he automatically ignored the part about Mother Hou Tu.
That matter involved too much; it was better not to let too many people know.
He started from his entry into the Netherworld, saying that after he sent Li Chengqian into reincarnation, he accidentally went to North Shan Bu Zhou when returning from the Netherworld.
Then, he talked about how he encountered Niu Mowang Peng and that mysterious black-robed person by chance.
Naturally, he couldn't talk about the Tianji Baojian.
"Little brother, you even met Third Brother?"
Sun Wukong scratched his monkey cheeks upon hearing the name of Niu Mowang Peng.
"That's right, it was him."
Su Chen nodded, then said a piece of news that shocked everyone.
"I followed them and discovered that Niu Mowang Peng actually took that black-robed person to see Demon Master Kill Kun Peng."
"What?"
"Third Brother (Third Brother) has a relationship with Kill Kun Peng?"
Several Great Sages looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
Although they had sworn brotherhood with Niu Mowang Peng, they truly didn't know he had a relationship with that famous Demon Master Kill Kun Peng.
Su Chen saw their surprise and continued, "I was also very curious at the time, so I followed them quietly..."
Su Chen recounted how he followed the two into the secret realm, obtained the Gui Xu Divine Axe, and fought with Niu Mowang Peng.
After Su Chen finished speaking, the Bull Niu Mowang asked with a solemn expression, "Brother Su Chen, you just said Niu Mowang Peng is Kill Kun Peng's disciple?"
When the Bull Niu Mowang asked again about the relationship between Niu Mowang Peng and Kill Kun Peng, everyone's gaze focused on Su Chen.
Su Chen nodded and said affirmatively, "Absolutely true. I heard Niu Mowang Peng call Kill Kun Peng 'Master' with my own ears."
Having received Su Chen's confirmation, the expressions of the several Great Sages in the cave became somewhat complex.
The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang frowned and said, "Third Brother is actually Kill Kun Peng's disciple and has been hiding it from us; it seems he has hidden many things from us brothers."
Just at this moment, the Bull Niu Mowang suddenly let out a long sigh.
"Sigh, if that's really the case, then we can't invite him to join the Demon Alliance."
"Big Brother, why is that? Is it because of the grudge between him and little brother? Can't we brothers just talk it over with him?"
Sun Wukong asked curiously.
The other Great Sages also looked at the Bull Niu Mowang one after another.
The Bull Niu Mowang was the oldest and most knowledgeable among the seven brothers.
He became famous very early and knew far more secrets than they did.
The Bull Niu Mowang picked up his wine bowl, took a big gulp, and then slammed the wine bowl heavily onto the stone table.
"Do you know why Demon Master Kill Kun Peng is called 'Demon Master'?"
The Bull Niu Mowang asked slowly.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "I heard people say it's because he was honored as Demon Master when he was in the ancient Demon Court."
"That's right."
The Bull Niu Mowang nodded, "And he was honored as Demon Master in the ancient Demon Court because he created the characters of the Demon Clan. He compiled the cultivation methods of the Demon Clan into books and passed them on to all demons, opening the education of the Demon Clan. This is a great merit, so the two Demon Emperors of the ancient Demon Court, Di Jun and Dong Huang Tai Yi, honored him as Demon Master, with a status only below the two Demon Emperors."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong and others showed expressions of admiration.
"So that's it, then this Kill Kun Peng can be considered to have made a great contribution to my Demon Clan." The Lion Camel King exclaimed.
"Contribution?"
The Bull Niu Mowang let out a cold laugh upon hearing this.
"No matter how great his contribution is, it cannot offset the crimes he committed!"
"Crimes?"
Everyone was stunned.
"Big Brother, what do you mean by that?" The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang asked in confusion.
The Bull Niu Mowang looked at everyone's puzzled expressions and said in a deep voice, "It seems you only know his identity as Demon Master, but you don't know that he is also one of the culprits who caused the decline of the Demon Clan and the destruction of the ancient Demon Court!"
"What?!"
As soon as this was said, the whole room was shocked.
"Big Brother, you can't talk nonsense. Wasn't the ancient Demon Court destroyed because it fought the Witch Clan in the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation and both sides suffered heavy losses?"
"Yes, Big Brother, what exactly is going on?"
The other Great Sages also asked one after another.
This news was simply too shocking for them.
Demon Master Kill Kun Peng was actually one of the culprits who destroyed the ancient Demon Court?
The Bull Niu Mowang looked at them and shook his head, saying, "The truth of the Witch-Demon Great Tribulation is far more complex and cruel than you imagine."
He paused, reorganized his language, and then continued, "Back then, the Witch-Demon decisive battle reached the final moment. The two Demon Emperors fought the Ancestral Witches, fighting until heaven and earth collapsed and the sun and moon lost their light."
"That battle was tragic to the extreme. The Demon Clan suffered countless casualties, and the Witch Clan also paid a painful price."
"Just at that most critical moment, Demon Master Kill Kun Peng, who should have been guarding the Demon Court and presiding over the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array, did something that made all demons feel ashamed."
"He betrayed the Demon Court and betrayed the two Demon Emperors!"
"He took advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was on the battlefield and actually stole the foundation of the Zhou Tian Star Dou Array—the He Tu Luo Shu, and then fled!"
"What!"
Sun Wukong and others were dumbfounded, their hearts and minds shaken.
They never expected that such a thing had happened back then.
At the final moment of the Demon Clan's life and death, the Demon Master, revered by countless demons, actually fled in the face of battle and stole the treasure of the Demon Court. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====
