Chapter 280: Wan Sheng Dragon King
Su Chen and Niu Mowang drank and reminisced until late at night before going to rest under Princess Lady Tie Shan's arrangement.
Since Su Chen came relatively early, he rested on Mount Cuiping for the next few days, which could be considered a rare leisure.
In the following days, Niu Mowang's friends came to congratulate him one after another.
Among the several Great Sages, Jiao Mowang came the earliest.
On the morning of the fifth day Su Chen arrived at Mount Cuiping, a majestic water-element demon aura surged outside Mount Cuiping, and the small demons guarding the mountain reported urgently: Jiao Mowang brought three hundred water tribe elite soldiers and came in a grand manner.
Niu Mowang strode out of the mountain gate to welcome him, and Su Chen followed behind.
From afar, he saw Jiao Mowang descending from the sky, wearing a blue-green armor, his figure a head taller than Niu Mowang, his eyes long and narrow, his momentum like waves surging in the sea, bringing up an invisible air wave when he landed, and the surrounding grass and trees slightly bent.
"Big Brother, long time no see."
The two gripped hands, patted each other's shoulders and backs, shaking the gravel on the ground.
Jiao Mowang's gaze then swept over and fell on Su Chen.
"Brother Su Chen, arrived so early."
"Second Brother Jiao, long time no see." Su Chen cupped his hands.
Jiao Mowang's attention was on Su Chen at this time, and he discovered that Su Chen was actually already at the Tai Yi Jin Xian realm.
He discovered at this time that he couldn't see through Su Chen at all.
Jiao Mowang remembered that when the Demon Alliance was established, Su Chen was only at the Heavenly Immortal realm, standing in the middle of them, his presence was pitifully low.
At that time, he could be the Demon Alliance Advisor, firstly because his relationship with the Alliance Leader Sun Wukong was extraordinary, and secondly because his schemes indeed convinced the several Great Sages.
Jiao Mowang remembered that when it was announced that Su Chen was the Demon Alliance Advisor, there were still demon kings below who were unconvinced.
Now, only a little over a hundred years had passed, but Su Chen's cultivation base had caught up with him.
He even felt a very strong threat from Su Chen.
That invisible oppression made his demon aura, which was dissipated outside, slightly restrained.
"Brother Su Chen, it is truly a case of 'don't look at someone with the same eyes after three days of separation.' It hasn't been long since we last met, but your cultivation base is something even I can't see through." Jiao Mowang's tone carried surprise.
"Hahaha, I've had some small opportunities in recent years, still not comparable to Second Brother Jiao." Su Chen said modestly.
Niu Mowang chimed in from the side: "Second Brother, let alone you, even Old Niu can't see through his bottom now."
The three talked as they walked and entered the Banana Cave.
Shi Tuo Wang and Mihou Wang came together; they bumped into each other on the way and landed separately after entering Mount Cuiyun.
Shi Tuo Wang's first sentence upon entering the door: "Big Brother, is your son born more handsome than you?"
Niu Mowang: "..."
Mihou Wang was more disciplined; after greeting, his gaze fixed on Su Chen, and he asked casually: "When did the Advisor reach the Tai Yi Jin Xian realm?"
"A few years ago."
Mihou Wang nodded, his fingers in his sleeves tapping quietly.
He himself was also a Tai Yi Jin Xian, but seeing Su Chen, who was far inferior to him when the Demon Alliance was established, now surpassing him, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
`Cultivation is really about talent. `
Yu Rong Wang arrived last, a day later than expected; when he entered the door, he was in a hurry, sat on the chair, and reached out for wine, without a single word of nonsense.
Niu Mowang had someone move a jar of Monkey Wine, Yu Rong Wang drank more than half of it, and then he was considered alive.
Thus, the several Vice Alliance Leaders of the Demon Alliance gathered for the first time since parting at Flower Fruit Mountain.
Three days after Yu Rong Wang arrived, it was Hong Haier's first birthday banquet.
On that day, long tables were set up in the front hall of the Banana Cave, and under Niu Mowang's orders, the small demons moved all the wine and dishes in the warehouse, and the entire Mount Cuiyun was filled with the fragrance of wine.
The congratulatory gifts from the demon kings filled a whole warehouse, among which Jiao Mowang sent the Nine Profound Spiritual Fruit from the West Sea, which could help practitioners stabilize their foundation; Shi Tuo Wang sent a protective armor at the Golden Immortal level; Mihou Wang and Yu Rong Wang jointly sent a set of magic treasures.
Niu Mowang received them with a beaming face.
Princess Lady Tie Shan then came out holding Hong Haier.
Hong Haier was in a red robe, his round face was red and chubby, and the flame Dao mark on his brow center appeared and disappeared.
The crowd of Great Sages leaned over to tease him; Shi Tuo Wang extended his finger, Hong Haier swept his eyes at him, and turned his face to the other side.
"This kid has good taste." Jiao Mowang slapped the table and laughed.
Shi Tuo Wang's face turned black.
The few teased Hong Haier for a while, Princess Lady Tie Shan ordered the maid to take Hong Haier to rest, and then followed Niu Mowang to greet the guests who came to congratulate.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, the atmosphere became completely lively.
The several Great Sages talked about their experiences over these years; Jiao Mowang took down an island in the West Sea, Shi Tuo Wang's power expanded three times, and Mihou Wang and Yu Rong Wang jointly fought down a large territory in Bei Ju Luzhou.
As the few were talking, a small demon reported.
"Great King, Wan Sheng Dragon King of Bi Bo Tan has brought his family to congratulate!"
Niu Mowang stood up to respond upon hearing this.
Not long after, a group of people walked in outside the front hall.
Leading them was a middle-aged man wearing a black python robe, with a square face, a pair of dragon eyes with restrained essence, and his whole body emitting the aura of a mid-stage Tai Yi Jin Xian.
Beside him followed a luxuriously dressed woman and a girl with an extremely outstanding appearance.
"Brother Wan Sheng." Niu Mowang greeted him, and the two cupped their hands and exchanged pleasantries.
Wan Sheng Dragon King laughed: "Congratulations to Brother Niu on gaining a son, Old Dragon specially brought my daughter, Princess Wan Sheng, to congratulate."
The girl stepped forward to salute, generous and decent.
Su Chen's gaze did not stop on the Wan Sheng Dragon King's family.
What he noticed was a young man following half a step behind Wan Sheng Dragon King.
That young man looked to be in his twenties, with a handsome face, extremely exquisite features, wearing a moon-white long robe, a jade belt tied around his waist, and his hair tied up with a silver hairpin.
If placed in the mortal world, he would be a quintessential dashing young gentleman.
But Su Chen noticed him, not because this person was good-looking, but because he sensed an extremely restrained demon power fluctuation from this young man. That demon power was deep and vast, far from the Heavenly Immortal realm he revealed on the surface.
Wan Sheng Dragon King happened to introduce that young man at this time, pointing at him and saying: "This is Jiutou, a guest advisor newly recruited by Bi Bo Tan in recent years, with outstanding talent, Old Dragon appreciates him very much."
"Jiutou has seen all the Seniors." The young man cupped his fists, his voice gentle, his behavior decent, neither humble nor arrogant.
` "Jiutou."
Su Chen picked up his wine bowl, and the corners of his mouth smiled slightly.
He was too familiar with this name.
In his previous life's memory, the Nine-Headed Insect, whose true form was a strange bird with nine heads, was extremely fierce.
In Journey to the West, this person later became the husband of Princess Wan Sheng, wearing a green hat for the White Dragon Horse.
Later, he also instigated the Wan Sheng Dragon King's family to steal the Buddha treasure sarira from the Golden Light Temple in Jisaiguo, becoming a tribulation of the Journey to the West.
But this demon's strength was not bad; he fought fiercely with Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong one after another, and later Erlang Shen Yang Jian came to help, and they joined forces to repel him, but only cut off one head, and he escaped into the North Sea, never appearing again.
Being able to save his life and escape under the joint efforts of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen, in the entire Journey to the West, there was only this demon.
Su Chen withdrew his gaze, his face calm and composed.
After the introduction, Niu Mowang invited Wan Sheng Dragon King to sit down, and the banquet continued.
Wan Sheng Dragon King and Niu Mowang had a deep friendship, and the two sat in one place drinking and chatting, talking hotly.
Princess Wan Sheng was pulled to the inner residence by Princess Lady Tie Shan to see Hong Haier.
Jiutou was arranged in the last seat of the guest table, drinking quietly.
Su Chen observed him for a while and found that this person was very disciplined, drinking and eating quietly at the banquet, not speaking much.
Su Chen wanted to probe his depth, picked up his wine bowl, stood up, and walked toward Jiutou.
Jiutou looked up, saw Su Chen walking over, and hurriedly stood up to salute.
"Advisor Su."
"Don't be nervous, come over to drink a bowl with you." Su Chen sat down opposite him and poured himself a bowl of wine.
The two clinked bowls and drank a sip each.
After a few bowls of wine, Su Chen suddenly asked casually.
"I see Fellow Daoist Jiutou has an extraordinary bearing; I wonder what cultivation technique you practice?"
Jiutou's hand holding the bowl stopped for a moment, and he hurriedly replied.
"Born as a loose cultivator, the cultivation technique is mixed, not worth mentioning." ===== CHAPTER 281 =====
