Chapter 98

Su Chen's words left the demon Great Sages present deep in thought.

Indeed, the few Great Sages, because they understood Su Chen's abilities and were persuaded by him, naturally would not have any objections.

But what about the thousands of demons below?

The relationship between the demon race and the human race has been complicated since ancient times.

Although they are not mortal enemies like the Lich, they definitely cannot be considered harmonious.

Letting a human be the chief steward of the Demon Alliance, if this spreads, I fear it will cause dissatisfaction among the uninformed demons below.

With the unruly personalities of those demon kings, they would definitely jump out to oppose it.

"This..." Sun Wukong scratched his head, also feeling that this matter was indeed difficult to handle. "Then what should we do? Besides you, I, old Sun, can't think of anyone who can do this job."

The Bull Niu Mowang and others also frowned.

The "advisor" position Su Chen proposed was crucial.

It could be said to be the key to whether the entire Demon Alliance could turn from a scattered sand into an iron army.

The person in this position must have enough overall view, strategy, and means.

Looking around, among the seven brothers, Sun Wukong was impulsive, the Bull Niu Mowang only sought self-preservation, the Flood Dragon Niu Mowang had too much ambition, the Lion Camel King had no opinion, and the Yu Rong Wang and Gibbon King, although smart, lacked the pattern and courage.

After thinking about it, Su Chen was truly the only candidate.

"Brother Su Chen, we understand your concerns." The Bull Niu Mowang said in a deep voice. "But this matter relates to the future of our Demon Alliance. Besides you, no one is truly qualified. As for the criticisms of those below..., we brothers are all here, who would dare not to be convinced?"

His words were full of dominance, and the majesty of the head of the seven Great Sages was fully revealed.

"Big brother is right!" Sun Wukong also patted his chest. "Whoever dares not to be convinced, I, old Sun, will be the first to disagree!"

Su Chen knew that they truly wanted him to be this advisor.

The reason he raised this question was not to decline, but to put this hidden danger on the table in advance so that everyone could be mentally prepared.

In this way, with these Great Sages standing up for him, he could sit firmly in the position of advisor.

"Since all the Great Sages have said so, then Su Chen will not decline." Su Chen stood up and said solemnly to everyone. "I will do my best to serve the Demon Alliance!"

"Good!" Everyone clapped and laughed.

"Alright, the leader, deputy leaders, and advisor are all set." Su Chen sat down and continued. "Next is the arrangement of positions below. Just having us few is far from enough. We must incorporate all the demon kings who come to join us into our Demon Alliance system so that they have a sense of belonging and honor."

"I propose to set up two major sequences under the advisor."

"First, the 'Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Kings'! Select the thirty-six strongest from all the demon kings who join us and grant them this position. They will be the backbone of our Demon Alliance, each leading a portion of demon soldiers and responsible for guarding one side."

"Second, the 'Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Demon Generals'! Also select seventy-two demon kings with outstanding strength and grant them this position. Their status is second only to the Heavenly Gang Demon Kings, serving as deputies and reserve forces for each department."

"Thirty-Six Heavenly Gang Demon Kings, Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Demon Generals?" The Yu Rong Wang's eyes lit up. "This name is good, it sounds majestic!"

"Not bad!" Su Chen nodded. "We must not only give them titles but also give them actual benefits. For example, dividing territories, prioritizing the distribution of cultivation resources, etc. At the same time, we must also set rules for them, with clear rewards and punishments. Those who do well have the opportunity to be promoted. Those who do poorly can be replaced at any time."

"In this way, a benign competition mechanism can be formed to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm."

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly as he listened, his eyes full of admiration for Su Chen: "Brother, your brain is still the best."

The Bull Niu Mowang and others also highly approved of Su Chen's proposal.

They found that the Demon Alliance Su Chen envisioned was no longer a simple makeshift team.

But a force with a clear power structure, a perfect promotion system, and strict rules and regulations!

"Good! Let's do it!" The Bull Niu Mowang made the final decision. "Tomorrow, we will summon all the demon kings, officially announce the establishment of the Demon Alliance, and select the candidates!"

With the discussion settled, everyone drank a few more cups and then dispersed; they wanted to communicate with those demon kings privately first to ensure that the establishment of the Demon Alliance tomorrow would not have any problems.

Su Chen and Sun Wukong stayed in the Water Curtain Cave.

"Brother, thanks to you today." Sun Wukong said sincerely. "If it weren't for you, I, old Sun, wouldn't have thought of a good way."

Su Chen smiled: "Monkey brother, we are brothers, saying these things is being too polite. However, tomorrow's matter may not be so smooth."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows. "You mean, someone will not be convinced?"

"Definitely." Su Chen nodded. "Especially the position of advisor. I am human, they will definitely have thoughts. At that time, it is inevitable that someone will jump out to challenge."

"What's there to fear!" Sun Wukong said confidently. "Whoever dares to jump out, I, old Sun, will let him know whose fist is bigger!"

"Monkey brother, you don't need to take action." Su Chen shook his head. "This is my business, and I must solve it myself. If a force wants to maintain stability, the most important thing is fairness. I cannot rely on you to be this advisor, otherwise, it will bury hidden dangers for the alliance."

Sun Wukong heard that Su Chen's words were very reasonable, so he had to nod and agree.

Then he said goodbye to Su Chen; he also had to go down to communicate with those demon kings. After all, the demon kings who came to Flower Fruit Mountain now were all here for him, and he could not show up.

The next day, the sun rose.

On a hillside next to the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain, a dark mass of demons gathered.

Many demons, except for those who had privately communicated with the Great Sages, were whispering to each other, not knowing what medicine these Great Sages were selling in their gourds.

Soon, Su Chen, Sun Wukong, the Bull Niu Mowang, and the other seven appeared in front of the demons.

Sun Wukong stood at the very front, cleared his throat, exerted his magic power, and his voice covered everyone.

"Everyone!"

"Today, summoning everyone here is to announce a major event that concerns the future of our demon race!"

"We have discussed and decided with the demon kings present that from today on, we will officially establish the 'Demon Alliance'!"

"I, Saint Qitian Sun Wukong, will serve as the leader of the Demon Alliance!"

"Heaven-Leveling Great Sage Bull Niu Mowang, Sea-Covering Great Sage Flood Dragon Niu Mowang... Demon-Driving Great Sage Gibbon King, will serve as deputy leaders of the Demon Alliance!"

"My brother Su Chen will serve as the advisor of the Demon Alliance, assisting in managing all affairs within the alliance!"

Sun Wukong's voice echoed in the valley.

The demons in the square were stunned for a moment, and then, led by the demon kings who had already been briefed, they burst into thunderous cheers!

"Demon Alliance! Demon Alliance!"

"Saint Qitian!"

However, amidst these cheers, an discordant voice rang out abruptly.

"Wait!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly tiger demon wearing black armor and holding an iron rod striding out of the demon crowd.

"I, Bashan, have no opinion on the candidates for leader and deputy leaders, but I have an opinion on the candidate for advisor!"

He slammed the iron rod in his hand heavily on the ground, pointed at Su Chen, and shouted loudly.

"Why should a mere human be the advisor of our Demon Alliance!"
