Chapter 356 The Six Great Sages: We Have a Traitor Among Us! (Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Requesting monthly votes! Requesting follow-up subscriptions!)
Let's rewind to more than two months ago.

At that time, Wu Xian had just cleared the Flaming Mountain dungeon. He not only took the Great Sage's root weapon [Body Worry] from the Bull Demon King, but also took Princess Iron Fan's banana leaf fan with him. He returned with a full load.

As everyone knows, gossip can't be kept secret, especially with the help of those with ulterior motives. This news quickly spread like wildfire, reaching most of the demon realm.

This also added another label to the already weakened Bull Demon King: weak and easily bullied, which made him the subject of secret ridicule from many demon kings who heard the news.

In addition, another rumor also spread.

That was Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who was once a top powerhouse among the demon race and had already attained the status of the Victorious Fighting Buddha. It is said that five hundred years ago, after being surrounded and killed by the Heavenly Court, his body was transformed into six different root attributes.

Each of these items possesses immense power, greatly enhancing the strength of any monster that obtains them, and they are even suspected of granting immortality, making them comparable to the legendary Tang Sanzang's flesh.

The source of this news is the Flaming Mountain. It is said that over the years, the Bull Demon King has been trying to refine one of the root weapons. He was almost successful, but was ambushed by his rebellious son and suffered a severe injury.

In the end, it benefited the so-called chosen one, whose strength increased by leaps and bounds, even making the Mighty Bull Demon King feel inferior. He could only watch helplessly as his wife's treasure was taken away, not daring to utter a sound.

Because it was a rumor, its authenticity was extremely high. For a time, all the powerful figures of the demon race were restless and began to investigate the Chosen One, Wu Xian, through their own channels.

The result surprised the demon.

All the intelligence gathered indicated that this chosen one was just an ordinary little monkey who had left Flower Fruit Mountain a few years ago to search for the Great Sage's potential.

I heard that at the beginning, he almost couldn't even get through Black Wind Mountain. He could only bully little monsters around the mountain and even got the nickname "Black Wind Mountain Stick God".

However, after going through countless hardships and finally obtaining the first root weapon from the black bear spirit, this chosen one's cultivation strength began to soar like a rocket.

In the following six months, he fought against Huangfeng Dasheng of Huangfeng Ridge, Huangmei of Xiaoxitian, and Baimu Yaojun of Pansidong. He easily defeated all these powerful demons, which further confirmed the truth of the rumors.

Recently, news came from Dongsheng Shenzhou that the Chosen One had once again displayed his divine power, defeating more than 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals single-handedly.

According to legend, even powerful celestial deities such as Nezha and Li Jing, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Nine Luminaries were defeated and forced to flee in disarray by him. His methods were so formidable that they rivaled those of Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then.

Gradually, many powerful demons began to stir, and one after another, overlords and ancestors appeared, saying things like "A true man should act like this" and "He can be replaced," but none of them dared to seize the Great Sage's root weapon.

There is nothing else to it but to follow one's heart.

The fact that they could cause even the Heavenly Court to suffer a crushing defeat suggests they are ruthless individuals who might rival the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Only those who are tired of living would dare to steal from their opponents.

Of course, this is just the thinking of ordinary second- or third-rate demons. The real demon powerhouses are still observing the situation, or rather, waiting for a leader to take the lead and protect them behind them. Only then will they consider getting involved in this mess.

Soon, the leader appeared—it was none other than the Bull Demon King, whose root essence had been taken away earlier.

During this time, he kept in touch with his old brothers, mainly the other five of the seven sworn brothers from back then, expressing his desire to combine the power of all demons to reenact the battle when Sun Wukong was surrounded and killed, and then redistribute their talents.

"Back then, Erlang Shen, along with four other demons, were able to kill that monkey. Now, with the six of us brothers working together, how could we not kill a chosen one?"

Unlike the previous story where Princess Iron Fan sought out these great demons in the Shadow God Map but avoided them, this time it was the Bull Demon King himself who came forward, not to seek help, but to discuss cooperation with his brothers to gain benefits together.

As a result, the attitudes of these great demons naturally changed smoothly. They went from "we're not familiar with each other" to becoming good brothers who would go to great lengths for each other, calling each other "Big Brother" in a very affectionate way.

Of course, the main reason for this is that the Bull Demon King himself guaranteed that Sun Wukong's innate talent did indeed have the ability to greatly increase one's strength and achieve immortality.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to his brothers for help so soon after suffering a loss, wanting to regain his root essence and achieve immortality once more.

It's important to understand that in the world of Black Myth, immortality is a truly scarce resource.

In the story, even highly skilled immortals and demons cannot truly achieve immortality. The former need to regularly consume the Queen Mother's peaches of immortality and Laozi's elixir of immortality in order to extend their lifespan.

The latter is even worse off, having no path to immortality whatsoever. Although their lifespan is long, they will eventually perish. Therefore, when they learned that Sun Wukong's innate talent could grant immortality, many powerful figures among the demon race became eager to try. Now, after receiving confirmation from the Bull Demon King, the five great demon saints could no longer resist the temptation and agreed to his request.

There are exactly six root portions in total, so each person will receive one, ensuring a fair distribution and eliminating any disputes.

As for whether they can successfully kill the chosen one and seize the root weapon...

The five great sages smiled without saying a word.

As top experts among the demon race, they knew their skills were only slightly inferior to their elder brother, the Bull Demon King, and their youngest brother, the Monkey King, but far superior to those like the Black Bear Spirit and the Yellow Wind Great Sage. If even such creatures could successfully surround and kill Sun Wukong, then they would certainly be able to capture him with ease.

We'll win! This one's a sure thing!

……

Little Western Paradise, the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Bang!
A figure plummeted from the sky, crashing onto the frozen lake like a meteor.

The powerful kinetic energy pierced through him, sending him straight to the bottom of the lake. It was unknown how long he remained before surfacing, and blood was still gushing from various parts of his body, indicating that he had suffered serious injuries.

"puff!!"

This was a burly man with thick hair covering his cheeks and skin. His face shape was distinctly different from that of ordinary people, with some feline features. Combined with his thick fur, he resembled a humanoid lion.

Without a doubt, this is none other than the Lion Camel King, one of the Seven Sages of the Demon Clan in the past, known as the Great Sage Who Moves Mountains!
However, at this moment, his face was full of horror and fear, like a mouse seeing a cat, and there was no trace of the awe-inspiring power of a great demon saint.

"咻咻咻咻——"

Just then, four more short, sharp sounds rang out, and the surrounding ice shattered once more. Shortly afterward, four more figures floated out of the water—they were, of course, his sworn brothers.

Overturning Sea Great Sage Flood Dragon Demon King

The Great Sage of Chaos, Peng Demon King

Ventilation Great Sage Monkey King

The Great Sage Yu Rong Wang Who Drives Away Gods

Similar to the Lion Camel King, the four Great Sages of the Demon Clan were also in dire straits. While not severely injured, they were essentially unable to fight any longer.

The fact that they were able to do this speaks volumes about the strength of their enemy.

Of course, the main reason why the five of them are in such a sorry state, unable to even escape, is because there is a traitor among them.

"That damned old cow!"

Thinking of this, the Lion Camel King gritted his teeth, but then he heard a faint chuckle from above. He looked over instinctively and saw a figure standing in the sky.

The other person was backlit, making his figure somewhat blurry, but his familiar attire and the Ruyi Jingu Bang (magic staff) unmistakably identified him.

Wu Xian looked down at the five great demons who had been beaten half to death, a grin spreading across his face. He pointed his golden cudgel at them and said...

"Submit, or die, choose one."
