Chapter 331

Su Chen and Sun Wukong landed outside the Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King's cave dwelling; before they even entered the door, a group of demon soldiers had already poured out.

"Alliance Leader! Advisor!"

The one-armed demon general ran at the front, followed by more than a hundred demon soldiers.

Inside the cave dwelling, the Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King heard the sound and came out.

The two's injuries had improved, but their complexions were still not very good.

"Seventh Brother, Brother Su Chen, where is that Heaven-Swallowing Niu Mowang?" After several people entered the cave dwelling, the Yu Rong Wang asked in a low voice.

"Dead." Sun Wukong said concisely.

The Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King looked at each other, and the Gibbon King let out a long, turbid breath: "Good death. Many thanks to Seventh Brother for avenging the brothers."

"Not just him." Su Chen sat at the stone table, his tone flat, "The real killer who ambushed the two Great Sages that day was a Covering-Fu Fu Hai Mo Kun at the late stage of the Great Luo Jinxian realm hidden behind the Heaven-Swallowing Niu Mowang."

Hearing this, the Yu Rong Wang's pupils shrank: "Late-stage Great Luo Jinxian? Then you..."

"That Covering-Fu Fu Hai Mo Kun is also dead." Before the Yu Rong Wang could ask, Su Chen said.

"Satisfying!" The Gibbon King slapped the stone table, but did not ask how the two killed a late-stage Great Luo Jinxian.

But Su Chen's next words made the joy on the two's faces freeze.

"The Heaven-Swallowing Niu Mowang and that Covering-Fu Fu Hai Mo Kun both came from the Demon Master Palace of the Demon Master Kun Peng."

The Yu Rong Wang's smile disappeared, and the Gibbon King opened his mouth without making a sound.

Kun Peng was the Demon Master of the ancient Demon Court and had been a Semi-Sage existence since the ancient period.

This name represented an untouchable taboo among the demon clan in North Ju Luzhou.

Su Chen did not give them time to digest and continued: "And the person who led this action was the Heaven-Mixing Great Sage, the Peng Niu Mowang."

"Impossible!" The Yu Rong Wang stood up abruptly, "The Peng Niu Mowang is our sworn brother!"

Sun Wukong stood alone to the side; hearing this, he turned his head to look at the excited Yu Rong Wang, but did not speak.

"This is true; it is information I obtained using the soul-searching divine ability, and it cannot be wrong." Su Chen looked at the Yu Rong Wang, his voice calm, "The Peng Niu Mowang offered a plan to Kun Peng, letting the Heaven-Swallowing Niu Mowang attack your Daoist field, with the purpose of luring Monkey Brother out of Flower-Fruit Mountain."

The Yu Rong Wang sat down slowly and stopped speaking.

The Gibbon King was silent for a long time on the side, and finally said in a low voice: "On the day of the oath, he drank the most wine..."

After the two calmed down, Su Chen continued: "I suggest the two Great Sages abandon this Daoist field and lead all the brothers back to Flower-Fruit Mountain."

The Yu Rong Wang raised his head, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes: "Retreat? We brothers have managed this place for many years, and it was not easy to have some improvement; just leave as we say? Wouldn't that make people laugh at our Demon Alliance?"

"Fifth Brother is right; can we two lose the face of the Demon Alliance?" The Gibbon King echoed.

Su Chen had long expected the reaction of the two.

He shook his head and said: "Two Great Sages, that Yuan Jiu ranked ninth in the Demon Master Palace; before him, there were at least eight demon generals of the same level or even stronger. And behind them is a Semi-Sage."

Su Chen changed the subject: "Moreover, the things the two brothers bring back are more valuable than this Daoist field."

"What things can we bring back?" The Gibbon King asked.

"Information." Su Chen raised a finger, "The movements of the Demon Master Palace, Kun Peng's layout—the value of this information to the Demon Alliance far exceeds this Daoist field in North Ju Luzhou. Now Senior Bai Ze sits in Flower-Fruit Mountain, and he pays extreme attention to Kun Peng's movements. The two brothers bring this information back and discuss countermeasures with Senior Bai Ze; this is the truly big matter."

Hearing the name Bai Ze, the Yu Rong Wang asked Su Chen if he was talking about that ancient Demon Sage Bai Ze.

Su Chen nodded and told the two about Bai Ze joining the Demon Alliance and sitting in Flower-Fruit Mountain.

"Senior Bai Ze, is he really on Flower-Fruit Mountain?" The Yu Rong Wang confirmed in a low voice.

Sun Wukong finally spoke: "Senior Bai Ze has always been on Flower-Fruit Mountain, but this matter is not convenient to tell the outside world. Fifth Brother and Sixth Brother will know when you go back."

The Yu Rong Wang took a deep breath and exchanged a look with the Gibbon King. The Gibbon King nodded heavily.

"Good." The Yu Rong Wang stood up and cupped his fists at Su Chen, "Brother Su Chen, we will listen to you."

Su Chen nodded, then took out the tattered animal skin scroll gifted by Bai Ze from his sleeve, unfolded it, and spread it on the stone table.

The terrain of North Ju Luzhou was marked on the scroll using demon script.

Su Chen's fingertips landed on the place marked by Bai Ze on the map where the ruins of Mount Buzhou were located.

"Fifth Brother, Sixth Brother, you have been in North Ju Luzhou for many years; do you know what place this is on the map?"

After all, he didn't know how many years it had been since he came, and it was more reliable to ask the Yu Rong Wang and the other who had been cultivating in North Ju Luzhou.

The Yu Rong Wang leaned forward and took a look, his face changing drastically.

"How could you have a map of this place?" The Yu Rong Wang's tone even carried a bit of fear.

The Gibbon King also leaned over and took a look.

"It is actually the Spirit Ruins." The Gibbon King's expression was solemn, saying, "This is a forbidden area in North Ju Luzhou."

Su Chen's brows moved slightly: "Spirit Ruins?"

The Yu Rong Wang took a deep breath and said slowly:

"The wasteland within a radius of one hundred thousand miles where your map is located is called the 'Spirit Ruins Wasteland'. Walking to the end of the wasteland, you will see a heavenly chasm that has split open. Below the heavenly chasm is the Spirit Ruins."

"The baleful Qi inside is intense; ordinary small demons will have their souls collapse within a hundred miles, and those at the Heavenly Immortal level can barely walk a bit further, but they definitely dare not go deep."

The Gibbon King took over the conversation: "We have been in North Ju Luzhou for these years and have seen with our own eyes a demon king at the Great Luo Jinxian level enter the Spirit Ruins, saying he wanted to find the ancient opportunities inside."

He paused.

"Now, three hundred years have passed since he entered, and he still hasn't come out."

The Yu Rong Wang looked at Su Chen, his gaze earnest: "Brother Su, why are you asking about this place? I don't know what you want to find inside, but no matter what it is, it is not worth you risking your life to exchange for it."

Su Chen put away the animal skin scroll and smiled: "Fifth Brother, rest assured, Monkey Brother and I will just go to the edge to take a look and will not risk going deep."

The Yu Rong Wang clearly did not believe it and wanted to persuade him again.

Sun Wukong walked over from the wall and patted the Yu Rong Wang on the shoulder.

"Fifth Brother, take the brothers and go. Flower-Fruit Mountain has Senior Bai Ze, so you can rest assured and heal your wounds. Leave the matters here to me and Brother Su."

The Yu Rong Wang opened his mouth, but finally swallowed the words that reached his lips.

He had dealt with Sun Wukong for so many years and knew this monkey's temper too well.

"Seventh Brother, Brother Su Chen." The Yu Rong Wang cupped his fists, his voice carrying a bit more solemnity, "Then you two take care."

The Gibbon King also cupped his fists heavily at the two and said nothing more.

Not long after, the Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King led the remnant troops all the way east, heading straight for Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Su Chen stood on the dilapidated mountain peak, watching the two and those demon soldiers go far away.

"Little Brother, let's set off too." Sun Wukong stood by his side and said.

Su Chen nodded, and the two shot into the sky, heading straight for the Spirit Ruins.
