Chapter 97

In the Water Curtain Cave, the demon Great Sages fell into silence.

After a long time, the Bull Niu Mowang stood up abruptly, picked up the wine in front of him, tilted his head, and drank it all in one gulp!

"Bang!"

He smashed the bowl heavily on the ground, shattering it to pieces.

"I, the Bull Niu Mowang, agree to establish the Demon Alliance!"

The Bull Niu Mowang's voice broke the silence in the Water Curtain Cave.

His stance carried immense weight.

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang stood up almost immediately after, laughing loudly: "I, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang, also agree to establish the Demon Alliance!"

He had been tempted, but out of respect for the Bull Niu Mowang's prestige, he had not dared to speak first.

Now that the Bull Niu Mowang had relented, he was naturally the first to respond.

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang also made up his mind and roared in a muffled voice: "I listen to big brother, let's do it!"

The remaining Yu Rong Wang and Gibbon King looked at each other.

The two of them had the lowest cultivation among the seven Great Sages and originally did not want to participate, but seeing that the Bull Niu Mowang and the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang had both taken a stand, it was not good for them to oppose it.

"Since big brother and seventh brother have such ambition, I, the Yu Rong Wang, will naturally accompany you!" The Yu Rong Wang stood up and said with a smile.

"And me, the Gibbon King, I am also willing to follow all the brothers!" The Gibbon King also followed suit.

Thus, the six Great Sages present reached a consensus.

Sun Wukong watched this scene and laughed loudly: "Good! Big brother, I knew you would agree!"

The Bull Niu Mowang looked at him, also filled with emotion, and sighed: "Seventh brother, you have found a good brother."

"Brother Su Chen, today you told us about the coming great tribulation; from now on, you are my brother, the Bull Niu Mowang!" The Bull Niu Mowang said solemnly to Su Chen.

"Bull big brother, you speak too seriously." Su Chen hurriedly returned the salute. "It is my honor that all the Great Sages can trust me. Since we are brothers, we should help each other in the same boat."

"Well said, help each other in the same boat!"

"Come! Drink this cup!"

"Cheers!"

The six Great Sages and Su Chen raised their cups together and drank the wine in one gulp.

This cup of wine marked the establishment of a new demon force.

Setting down his wine cup, the Bull Niu Mowang sat down and took the initiative to say: "Alright, since everyone has agreed, let's discuss how this Demon Alliance should be organized."

Once he made up his mind, he stopped hesitating and immediately got into the state.

Sun Wukong scratched his head and looked at Su Chen: "Brother, you tell us, what should we do?"

He was good at fighting, but when it came to building a force and setting rules, he was completely clueless.

Su Chen did not decline and said firmly: "Since it is an alliance, there must be a charter. First, we must establish a leadership core."

He looked at Sun Wukong and then at the other Great Sages: "I propose that Bull big brother serve as the first leader of our Demon Alliance!"

The Bull Niu Mowang hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, I cannot be the leader."

He was shrewd and knew that the leader's seat was not easy to sit in; it was the target.

Moreover, he saw clearly that Sun Wukong was the core who had brought all the demons together, and Sun Wukong's reputation among the demon race was now at its peak.

"The reason we can gather here today is all because of seventh brother. Now, the title of Saint Qitian is a banner among the demons of the Three Realms. I think it is most appropriate for him to be the leader, and it will be most convincing." The Bull Niu Mowang said in a deep voice.

The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang also nodded: "Big brother is right. Moreover, this Flower Fruit Mountain is seventh brother's territory. Our Demon Alliance headquarters should also be set up here. Reasonably and logically, seventh brother should be the leader."

The Yu Rong Wang and Gibbon King also expressed their agreement.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he felt a bit embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, how can I, old Sun, be a leader? Let big brother be the leader, and I, old Sun, will just be a vanguard for you."

"Monkey brother, don't decline." Su Chen said at this time. "Bull big brother and the others are right; this leader position is yours. If you feel the burden is heavy, we can set up a Council of Elders."

"Council of Elders?" Everyone was stunned.

"That's right." Su Chen explained. "The six Great Sages will jointly form the highest decision-making body of the Demon Alliance, which I call the 'Demon Alliance Council of Elders.' Monkey brother will serve as the leader. The other five Great Sages will serve as deputy leaders. If the Heaven-Mixing Great Sage is willing to join later, he will also be a member of the Council of Elders."

"The daily affairs of the Demon Alliance will be handled by the leader. But any major decisions involving the future of the entire Demon Alliance, such as going to war or forming alliances, must be discussed and voted on by the Council of Elders. It can only be passed if more than half agree."

Su Chen's proposal made the Bull Niu Mowang and the others' eyes light up.

This method is good!

In this way, it not only establishes Sun Wukong's leadership status but also prevents him from acting arbitrarily.

Distributing power to them and letting them make decisions together not only ensures the stability of the alliance but also protects their respective interests and right to speak.

"This is a good idea!" The Bull Niu Mowang clapped his hands in praise. "I agree!"

"I also agree!" The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang and others also nodded one after another.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong had to scratch his head and say: "Alright then. I, old Sun, will reluctantly be this leader. But it's agreed, if I don't do well, you must remind me at any time."

"That is natural." Everyone laughed.

"Alright, the leadership core is established." Su Chen continued. "Next is the specific position arrangement. A mature force cannot just have leaders; it must also have people responsible for specific affairs."

He looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I propose to set up a position of advisor under the Council of Elders."

"This advisor will not participate in the decision-making of the Council of Elders but will be responsible for formulating development strategies for the Demon Alliance, establishing rules and regulations, training soldiers, and handling various internal affairs. It can be said that he is the 'chief steward' of the leader and the Council of Elders."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately said: "Then who else can be this advisor besides my brother? Brother, this position is yours!"

"I agree!" The Flood Dragon Niu Mowang also said immediately.

The Lion Shi Tuo Wang and the others, thinking of Su Chen's incisive analysis just now, also felt that there was indeed no one more suitable than him.

The Bull Niu Mowang pondered for a moment and nodded: "Brother Su Chen is wise and resourceful; having him serve as advisor is indeed the best choice."

However, Su Chen shook his head.

"Great Sages, I'm afraid I cannot be this advisor."

Everyone was stunned.

"Why?" Sun Wukong was anxious. "Brother, if you don't do it, who else can?"

Su Chen smiled bitterly: "Monkey brother, Great Sages, have you thought about it? What is my identity? I am human. If you let a human be the advisor of our Demon Alliance, do you think those demon kings below will be convinced?"
