Chapter 91

South Heavenly Gate.

Today, guarding the South Heavenly Gate was the Li Tianwang of Growth and the heavenly soldiers under his command.

Seeing Sun Wukong and Su Chen rushing to go out of the Heavenly Gate, they couldn't help but frown and stepped forward to block the way.

"Great Saint, Chief Assistant, where are you two going?" The Li Tianwang of Growth held a precious sword and asked in a deep voice.

Sun Wukong was about to force his way in, but Su Chen took a step forward, bowed to the Li Tianwang of Growth, and said with a smile: "I have met the Li Tianwang. The Great Saint and I are acting on the order of the Jade Emperor to go to the lower realm to handle an important matter; it is of great importance and cannot be delayed."

"Secret decree?" The Li Tianwang of Growth was suspicious.

"Exactly." Su Chen said without blushing or heartbeat, "This matter is confidential and not convenient to say much. If the Li Tianwang doesn't believe it, you can go to the Jade Emperor to verify it."

"However, if this delays the Jade Emperor's major event, I am afraid that you, Li Tianwang..."

The Li Tianwang of Growth hesitated when he heard this.

He looked at Su Chen, then at Sun Wukong, who was impatient beside him, holding a Ruyi Jingu Bang and seemingly about to smash it down in the next second, and his heart immediately retreated.

Today is the day Wang Mu holds the Yaochi Assembly, so it is better to have one less thing than one more thing.

If it really delays any important event of the Jade Emperor, he cannot afford the responsibility.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped aside to make way.

"Since it is on the order of the Jade Emperor, you two, please!"

"Many thanks, Li Tianwang."

Su Chen smiled slightly, pulled Sun Wukong, and walked out of the South Heavenly Gate swaggeringly.

Passing through the Heavenly Gate, under his feet was the vast sea of clouds.

Looking back, the magnificent and immortal-filled Tiangong was already looming in the clouds and mist.

Sun Wukong turned around and spat heavily toward the Tiangong.

"What Tiangong Immortal Realm, I will never come again!"

Su Chen couldn't help but laugh when he saw his appearance.

He patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and smiled: "Alright, Monkey Brother, don't be angry. Let's go home!"

"Yes! Go home!"

Sun Wukong swept away the haze in his heart, flipped a somersault, and jumped onto the cloud.

Su Chen followed closely, and the two brothers stood side by side on the cloud.

"Brother, you said that when we return to Mount Huaguo, will that Jade Emperor send troops to fight us?" Sun Wukong asked.

"Fight?" Su Chen laughed, "I'm afraid he has the heart but not the strength. After we go back, we will first control the direction of public opinion. If he dares to send troops, it will confirm the crime of bullying others with power. Now, the initiative is in our hands!"

"Hahaha! Your strategy is wonderful, Brother, it's satisfying!"

Sun Wukong laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the sea of clouds.

He felt that this was even more satisfying than causing trouble in the Heavenly Court.

"Go! Return to Mount Huaguo, let's go drink!"

The somersault cloud carried the two of them across the sky, rushing toward the direction of Mount Huaguo in the Eastern Victory Divine Continent.

When Sun Wukong and Su Chen drove the somersault cloud and landed in front of the Water Curtain Cave of Mount Huaguo, the entire Mount Huaguo boiled.

"The Great King is back!"

"The Great King is back!"

The monkeys playing in the mountain stream discovered their figures and immediately screamed and ran to tell each other.

For a time, the whole mountain of monkeys, whether old or young, male or female, all drilled out from the forest and the mountain cave, a black mass, rushing toward the direction of the Water Curtain Cave, each cheering and dancing.

Sun Wukong looked at his group of monkeys and grandchildren, feeling a thousand emotions in his heart.

After staying in the Heavenly Court for a few years, he realized that his Mount Huaguo was better.

There are no so many rules here, and no so many intrigues.

What there is, is only the purest happiness and freedom.

"Little ones, I am back!"

Sun Wukong stood in front of the Water Curtain Cave, opened his arms, and laughed loudly.

The monkeys swarmed up, surrounded him, some pounding his back, some offering wild fruits they had just picked, very affectionately.

Soon, the Four Generals stationed near Mount Huaguo and the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings heard the news of Sun Wukong's return and rushed over one after another.

They were overjoyed to see Sun Wukong and stepped forward to salute one after another.

"Welcome the Great King back to the mountain!"

When they saw Su Chen beside Sun Wukong, they were even more surprised.

They could feel that the aura on Su Chen's body was countless times stronger than before, deep as the sea, giving them a huge sense of oppression.

The demon kings dared not neglect and hurriedly saluted Su Chen again.

"We pay respects to the Second Great King!"

"You don't need to be formal." Su Chen nodded with a smile.

"Alright, alright, don't stand outside!" Sun Wukong waved his hand, "Little ones, go move out the treasured monkey wine! Prepare fruits and dishes, today, I want to drink until we're drunk with all the brothers!"

"Good!"

The monkeys cheered and immediately got busy.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave, a grand banquet was soon set up.

Sun Wukong sat in the main seat, and Su Chen sat beside him.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes.

"Great Saint, I heard you went to heaven to be an official, why did you suddenly come back today?" a demon king asked curiously with the strength of wine.

As soon as he spoke, the demon kings in the seventy-two caves of Mount Huaguo also let Sun Wukong talk about his deeds in the Heavenly Court.

Under the questioning of the demon kings, Sun Wukong told his encounter in the Heavenly Court with added oil and vinegar according to Su Chen's statement.

From being conferred as Saint Qitian but being an idle official with nothing to do, to finally being sent to manage the Pantao Garden, and that Pantao Assembly that excluded him...

He spoke vividly, and when he reached the angry part, he slammed the wine bowl in his hand to the ground, shattering it into pieces.

"Bullying people too much! Simply bullying people too much!"

"That Jade Emperor, and that Wang Mu, didn't take me seriously at all! They even look down on my demon clan and lower realm cultivators!"

The demon kings in the Water Curtain Cave listened, and each one was filled with righteous indignation.

"Unreasonable! This Heavenly Court is actually so arrogant!"

"They look down on all the demon clans in the world!" a wolf-headed demon king roared.

"Exactly. As cultivators, why can they be high above? We demon clans cultivate to become immortals, and we have to be treated as lower-class people by them?"

"Great King, rebel! Let's just raise the rebel flag and do it with them!"

"Yes! Do it! We seventy-two cave demon kings swear to follow the Great King to the death!"

For a time, inside the cave, the sound of shouting and killing was endless.

Su Chen watched all this quietly, not speaking for the time being.

What he wanted was this effect.

Waiting for the emotions of the demons to vent almost enough, he picked up the wine glass and stood up.

"Everyone, please be quiet."

As soon as he spoke, the noisy cave became quiet instantly, and all gazes were focused on Su Chen.

Su Chen took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Everyone's anger, I fully understand. The actions of the Heavenly Court are indeed chilling. However..."

He changed the subject, "Relying on anger alone cannot solve the problem. The Heavenly Court is powerful, with many experts and many soldiers. If we fight them head-on now, it is no different from throwing an egg against a rock."

The demon kings heard this and all calmed down.
