Chapter 96: Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Scheming!

East Victory Divine Continent.

Flower-Fruit Mountain.

Water Curtain Cave.

"Drink!"

"Brother, drink wine!"

"."

The Water Curtain Cave is very lively!

Many monsters raised their wine jugs, constantly exchanging cups! Sun Wukong was also among them! At this moment, Sun Wukong wore a brilliant smile on his face, drinking wine with the Niu Mowang beside him.

But deep inside, Sun Wukong was constantly sneering!

Not long ago!

Niu Mowang brought Jiao Mowang and other demons, and together they came to Flower-Fruit Mountain!

In order to discern the purpose of Niu Mowang and company, Sun Wukong had a good talk with them! However, Niu Mowang and company were extremely cautious! They merely kept flattering Sun Wukong, revealing no useful information!

Finally! They even wanted to become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong! In the original course of fate, Sun Wukong acted recklessly, completely uncaring of consequences! So, Sun Wukong naturally wished to become brothers with Niu Mowang and company! But the present Sun Wukong is different! During his time serving in the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong learned many things! The so-called sworn brotherhood entails bearing certain karmic ties!

If his sworn brother encounters trouble, he is obliged to lend aid!

And the Niu Mowang and company before him are clearly no good characters! He does not want to provoke the powerful beings of the Three Realms because of Niu Mowang and company! Thus!

Sun Wukong feigned difficulty in refusing! Regarding Sun Wukong's refusal!

Although the Niu Mowang and other demons were unwilling, they did not force Sun Wukong! But even so!

They also bestowed upon Sun Wukong the title of 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'! It cannot be denied!

Upon hearing the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'!

Sun Wukong was genuinely frightened!

Although he does not know the true depths of the Heavenly Court, he knows that the powerful beings within the Heavenly Court are as numerous as clouds, able to easily crush him! Moreover, the Grand Heavenly Sovereign Haotian within the Heavenly Court is an existence capable of conversing with Ye Yang!

If he dares to acknowledge the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven', he will surely face the Heavenly Court's encirclement and annihilation!

Holding such a thought! Sun Wukong was just about to speak his refusal! But an unknown power caused his mind to lose focus! Under the gaze of Niu Mowang, Peng Mowang, and others!

Sun Wukong then laughed wildly, declaring himself to be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven!

Just as his words fell!

That mysterious power then vanished! Upon regaining his senses, Sun Wukong immediately realized he had been schemed against!

But he could not explain it! And the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven' thus fell upon Sun Wukong's head! This made Sun Wukong extremely infuriated, and he directly came to hate Niu Mowang and the other demons!

In Sun Wukong's view!

If it weren't for Niu Mowang, Peng Mowang, and the other demons!

He would never have been given the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'! Yet!

Niu Mowang, Peng Mowang, and the other demons are immensely strong! Sun Wukong fundamentally has no way to suppress them! Moreover! These monsters, upon uttering the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven', the hidden black hand behind the scenes directly seized control of his mind! This is sufficient to prove that Niu Mowang, Peng Mowang, and the other demons are in league with the hidden black hand!

If he now directly turns against Niu Mowang and the other demons! The hidden black hand lurking in the shadows would likely strike again! This is something Sun Wukong does not wish to see! Therefore!

Sun Wukong could only reluctantly accept it!

After that!

Sun Wukong then continually drank with Niu Mowang and the other demons! And in the intervals of drinking, Sun Wukong would occasionally speak up, trying to elicit more information! However!

The caution of Niu Mowang and the other demons far exceeded Sun Wukong's imagination! No matter how Sun Wukong inquired, Niu Mowang, Peng Mowang, and the other demons revealed not a shred of useful information!

"Sun Dawang!"

"It's not early anymore!"

"We should also return to our own cave dwellings!"

"If we have time in the future, how about we gather again?"

"."

After a moment.

Niu Mowang set down his wine jug and said to Sun Wukong.

The next moment.

The previously dazed Peng Mowang and others immediately sobered up!

"Not bad!"

"Old Brother Niu is right!"

"."

Thereafter.

Several demon kings successively echoed in agreement.

"Good!"

"Then let's meet again next time!"

"." Upon seeing this

Sun Wukong smiled and replied.

But a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes.

He had long seen through Peng Mowang and Mi Houwang and the other demons feigning drunkenness! But!

He truly did not expect it!

Peng Mowang, Mi Houwang, and the other demons didn't even bother to pretend! Are these guys treating Sun Wukong as a fool? "Good!"

"Sun Dawang!"

"Then we'll leave first!"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's answer.

The Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, and other monsters laughed and bid farewell!

Soon!

The Bull Demon King and Peng Demon King then left! "Pah!"

"What a bunch of trash!"

When only Sun Wukong remained inside the Water Curtain Cave! Sun Wukong restrained the smile on his face and revealed a hint of icy coldness.

He had completely confirmed it!

The Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, and other monsters were also scheming against him! Although Sun Wukong didn't know why they were in such a hurry to leave!

But Sun Wukong dared to guarantee that this was definitely related to the upcoming scheming!

Indeed!

Not long after! A little monkey with an anxious face rushed into the Water Curtain Cave! "Great King!"

"The heavenly immortals have arrived!"

"Outside. Outside are all heavenly soldiers!"

【65】 The Bull Demon King and Peng Demon King then left! "Pah!"

【66】 "What a bunch of trash!"

【67】 When only Sun Wukong remained inside the Water Curtain Cave! Sun Wukong restrained the smile on his face and revealed a hint of icy coldness.

【68】 He had completely confirmed it!

【69】 The Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, and other monsters were also scheming against him! Although Sun Wukong didn't know why they were in such a hurry to leave!

【70】 But Sun Wukong dared to guarantee that this was definitely related to the upcoming scheming!

【71】 Indeed!

【72】 Not long after! A little monkey with an anxious face rushed into the Water Curtain Cave! "Great King!"

【73】 "The heavenly immortals have arrived!"

【74】 "Outside. Outside are all heavenly soldiers!"

On the other side.

The sea area not far from Flower-Fruit Mountain.

The Bull Demon King, Peng Demon King, and other monsters stood in midair!

"How strange!"

"What's going on with this monkey?"

"He seems to have discovered our purpose!"

Looking at Flower-Fruit Mountain surrounded by heavenly soldiers.

A hint of doubt appeared on the Bull Demon King's face.

As the mount of the Leader of the Penetrating Heaven Sect, he is certainly no ordinary figure!

Long before the Journey to the West Calamity began! He already knew about the Journey to the West Calamity!

And his reason for befriending Sun Wukong was also a scheme of the Sect of Cutting! Sun Wukong is the protagonist of the Journey to the West Calamity! As long as he could become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong, he could gain a share of karma!

After the Journey to the West Calamity ends! He will then be able to obtain the merit power bestowed by the Heavenly Dao! As for the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'?

This is a nickname devised by Buddhism to enhance Sun Wukong's prestige! Unexpectedly! Sun Wukong differs from imagination! He directly refused to become sworn brothers with the Bull Demon King and other monsters!

If it weren't for Buddhism's covert intervention! Sun Wukong would even have refused the title 'Great Sage Equal to Heaven'! This leaves the Bull Demon King feeling somewhat helpless!

This time his coming to Flower-Fruit Mountain was totally in vain! "Old Bull!"

"Don't sigh here!"

"Things have already been screwed up!"

"We might as well each go back to our own homes!"

Upon hearing the Bull Demon King's words.

The Peng Demon King shook his head and said helplessly.

He is a junior disciple of the Demon Master Kunpeng, and his background is not bad!

And his purpose in coming to Flower-Fruit Mountain is the same as the Bull Demon King's!

He also wanted to become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong to gain some heavenly rewards! But Sun Wukong refused! Although the Peng Demon King was disappointed, he didn't take it to heart!

He only wants to return to the Demon Master's Palace as soon as possible to inform the venerable Kunpeng of this matter!
