Chapter 470: Troops Depart for North Shan Bu Zhou

The day after the celebration banquet, the Bull Niu Mowang summoned all the large and small demon kings, demon generals, and cave masters from the various mountains under his command.

The Bull Niu Mowang scanned the circle and told the demons the news that he would be heading to North Shan Bu Zhou.

As the words fell, the demons were instantly in an uproar.

What kind of place was North Shan Bu Zhou?

That was a place where major demon clans were entrenched, filled with fierce demons, shrouded in poisonous miasma all day long; it was not a good place.

The Bull Niu Mowang raised his hand, and the noise in the mountain was suppressed.

"Those willing to follow me, pack your belongings, bring your subordinates, and follow me. Those willing to stay, I will not blame you."

A moment later, a bear demon wearing iron armor stood out, cupping his fists and roaring: "Wherever the Great King goes, the small ones go!"

With the first one, the rest could not be stopped.

"Follow the Great King!"

"I heard that although the environment of North Shan Bu Zhou is harsh, there are many immortal mountains and spirit veins; I am willing to follow the Great Sage."

The Bull Niu Mowang felt his heroic spirit rise, waving his hand: "Good! Everyone go back and pack, we break camp in three days."

Princess Iron Fan walked out of the cave, holding an account book, followed by her maids.

She first glanced at the Bull Niu Mowang.

The Bull Niu Mowang had originally been full of majesty, but seeing her come over, his voice became inexplicably half a notch lower: "Lady, this time I'll have to trouble you to pack up our belongings as soon as possible; we depart on time in three days."

Princess Iron Fan flipped through the account book: "I have it under control."

Red Boy poked his head out from the side: "Mom, can my fire jujube tree be dug up for me?"

Princess Iron Fan looked at him, and he immediately shrank his head behind Su Chen, whispering: "That fire jujube tree was transplanted by me personally from the Flaming Mountain."

Su Chen patted his head: "Rest assured, your mother won't forget."

On the other side, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang and the Lion Shi Tuo Wang could not sit still either.

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang flicked his sleeves, water vapor circling his body: "Big Brother, I will return to the North Sea first to assemble the water-vein demon army to meet you."

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang also said: "I will also go back to pack up. That bunch of brats under my command are idle every day; this is just the right time to let them train properly."

The Bull Niu Mowang nodded: "Good, then you and I, brothers, will meet in North Shan Bu Zhou."

Three days later, on Cuiping Mountain, the Bull Niu Mowang led the demons in a grand departure for North Shan Bu Zhou.

Su Chen watched the Bull Niu Mowang command the demons to break camp, and he also set off for the Eastern Continent.

This time he did not traverse space, but honestly rode the clouds.

Before long, Flower Fruit Mountain was visible in the distance.

After the Zhou Tian Jue Ling Formation was withdrawn, this ancestral immortal mountain had come back to life.

Spirit waterfalls hung between the mountains, the sound of water falling from the cliff walls into deep pools.

Old vines clung to strange rocks, immortal grass sprouted tender buds from the cracks in the rocks, and spirit monkeys jumped between the treetops; seeing Su Chen riding the clouds back, they were stunned at first, then the whole mountain began to call out wildly.

"The Advisor is back!"

"Go quickly and report to the Water Curtain Cave!"

Su Chen landed before the mountain gate, and Luan Erjie led the remaining demon generals out to meet him.

She wore a neat suit of armor, a token hanging from her waist.

"Greetings, Advisor."

Luan Erjie saluted, then took out a jade slip to report the affairs of Flower Fruit Mountain to Su Chen.

Su Chen listened and nodded.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Luan Erjie smiled: "This is all my duty; it is not hard work."

"Where are the Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King?" Su Chen asked.

"The two Vice-Allies are training troops in the back mountain."

"Please ask them to come to the Water Curtain Cave."

Luan Erjie heard this but did not ask more, turning to send someone to pass the order.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, the sound of the waterfall never ceased throughout the year.

Su Chen walked into the cave, the damp water mist rushing toward his face, the spirit pearls on the stone walls emitting a soft light.

The furnishings in the cave remained unchanged; the stone table, liquor jars, weapon racks, and that stone chair that Sun Wukong liked the most were all still in their original places.

Not long after, the sound of wind rolled in from outside.

The Yu Rong Wang arrived first; before he had even entered the cave, his voice had already arrived: "Brother Su Chen, you are finally back!"

The Gibbon King followed closely behind.

After the two entered the cave and saw Su Chen, they asked: "Brother Su Chen, how is it on Big Brother Bull's side? Was Red Boy saved?"

Su Chen gestured for the two to sit down and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Red Boy has been saved."

The two monkeys breathed a sigh of relief.

Su Chen set down his tea cup and continued: "This matter was instigated by Kun Peng and carried out by Peng Niu Mowang; Big Brother Bull killed him with his own hands."

The Yu Rong Wang was stunned upon hearing this.

The Gibbon King's throat rolled, but he said nothing.

They were sworn brothers with Peng Niu Mowang; even though they had parted ways later, they had never expected this day would come.

Su Chen looked at the two and said: "Kun Peng fell at the Flaming Mountain."

The Yu Rong Wang and the Gibbon King were a bit dazed upon hearing this, unable to believe it: "Is the Demon Master really dead?"

"Destroyed in body and spirit."

Only then did the two come back to their senses, smiles appearing on their faces.

Back then, they had been driven to a dead end in North Shan Bu Zhou by the Demon Master Palace and had finally been forced to flee to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Now that Kun Peng was dead, they could consider their revenge fulfilled.

The Yu Rong Wang asked, "Brother Su Chen, you called us here today, surely not just to share good news, right?"

Su Chen nodded, "Big Brother Bull, Second Brother Flood Dragon, and the Lion Shi Tuo Wang have already assembled their troops and headed toward Beiju Luzhou."

Su Chen looked at them, "The two of you shall muster a portion of the elite forces of Flower Fruit Mountain and head to Beiju Luzhou to rendezvous with Big Brother Bull."

Upon hearing this, the Yu Rong Wang's eyes lit up, and the Yu Rong Wang also revealed a look of joy.

Although Flower Fruit Mountain was quite good, returning to Beiju Luzhou had always been an obsession in their hearts.

Su Chen continued, "This time, the Demon Alliance is entering Beiju Luzhou on a large scale, and it will not be peaceful. With the Demon Master Palace fallen, the local demon kings will seize the opportunity to establish themselves, and outside forces will also reach out. If the Demon Alliance wants to gain a foothold in Beiju Luzhou, it will still require the efforts of you brothers."

The Yu Rong Wang stood up abruptly.

"We are duty-bound!"

The Yu Rong Wang grinned and laughed, "Back then we were driven out, now it is time to go back."

The Yu Rong Wang could no longer wait, and like the wind, he rushed out of the Water Curtain Cave, "Beat the drums! Muster the troops! Assemble the elites, follow me north!"

A moment later, the sound of war drums resounded through the mountains and wilderness.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Banner after banner of the Demon Alliance rose from Flower Fruit Mountain, black backgrounds with gold patterns, fluttering and snapping in the sea breeze.

The demons donned armor and formed ranks, the demon generals took roll call, and the Yu Rong Wang stood at the front, organizing the various battalions in perfect order.

When the red sun slanted to the west, the demon army of Flower Fruit Mountain finally took to the sky.

Demon clouds stretched for dozens of miles, and the banners obscured half of the sea surface.

The Yu Rong Wang and the Yu Rong Wang stood side by side, with the elites of Flower Fruit Mountain behind them, heading straight for Beiju Luzhou.

Su Chen stood in front of the Water Curtain Cave, watching the demon clouds drift away.

Among the Six Great Sages, the Bull Niu Mowang, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang, the Lion Shi Tuo Wang, the Yu Rong Wang, and the Yu Rong Wang—five of them were heading to Beiju Luzhou.

Once Sun Wukong emerged from seclusion, they would be able to flex their muscles in Beiju Luzhou.

The scattered sand that was the demon race finally had someone reaching out to grasp it.

After the great army departed, Flower Fruit Mountain became quiet again.

Just as Su Chen was preparing to return to his cave dwelling, a long sigh came from behind him.

Su Chen turned to look, and a figure with a pig's head, wearing a wide Daoist robe, was walking over slowly.
