We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 100: Joining forces with Guankou Erlang! The Bull Demon King and others come to surrender! (Please subscribe!!!)
(6000-word chapter)
Huaguoshan.

While the numerous players and their monkey offspring outside were jubilantly celebrating,...

Inside the Water Curtain Cave.

Sun Wukong, Qiao Liang, Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, Wang Lin, Ma, Liu, Beng, Ba, and others naturally drank and laughed heartily, celebrating freely.

"I really have to thank you for this, Senior Brother. If it weren't for you, I, Old Sun, would probably still be trapped under the Five Fingers Mountain right now," Sun Wukong said sincerely to Qiao Liang as he picked up his wine bowl and laughed heartily.

"Not at all, this is not just my achievement. You should thank everyone else," Qiao Liang said. "Besides, we are fellow disciples. After leaving our sect, we should naturally take care of each other."

“That’s right, that’s right.” Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, Wang Lin, and the other generals also chimed in.

Li Mu even winked at the others and privately messaged them in the game channel: "See? Thanks to me, I woke up Boss Qiao back then."

"Pah! It was clearly me who single-handedly stormed Wuzhi Mountain, which roused Chief Qiao and gave him inspiration," Xiao Huohuo retorted immediately.

He knew the whole story and felt he deserved the most credit.

Li Mu immediately disagreed and retorted in kind.

What a joke! He insulted Chief Qiao first, then Xiao Huohuo stormed Wuzhi Mountain alone. You need to get the order right.

All of a sudden.

The two even argued about it in the game channel.

Wang Lin was speechless.

Isn't the credit primarily due to Steve Jobs?
Although it was the two of them who helped Steve Jobs regain his spirits, no matter how you look at it, the success this time was mainly due to Steve Jobs.

Steve Jobs without being emo was simply a god!

Xiao Huohuo and Li Mu argued and glared at each other, neither willing to back down.

In the end, Xiao Huohuo snorted coldly, closed the game channel, ended the conversation, and said to Sun Wukong:
“Your Majesty, although you are now free from the control of the Buddha and the Heavenly Court has recognized our status, we still cannot let our guard down. The Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect do not have a good impression of us, and they will definitely not let us go given the chance.”

This is undoubtedly a fact.

The reason why the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect let Sun Wukong go was entirely out of necessity, not out of any voluntariness.

Although the two sides have reached an agreement on the surface, it would be wishful thinking to expect this agreement to be reliable.

"I, Old Sun, know." Upon hearing this, a hint of ferocity flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes.

After returning from Wuzhi Mountain, he witnessed the devastation of Huaguo Mountain.

Huaguo Mountain was originally known as a "Shangri-La".

Now, all flowers and grasses are gone, the mist and haze have vanished, the peaks and rocks have collapsed, and the forests and trees are withered and scorched.

The original 40,000 to 50,000 monkeys and their offspring have now been reduced to 4,000 to 5,000.

Can be imagined.

During the time he was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain by the Buddha, what was the state of Flower Fruit Mountain after it was besieged by the Heavenly Court?

It was only because his senior brother Qiao Liang was protecting him. If it weren't for his senior brother, wouldn't all his monkey descendants have been wiped out?

Sun Wukong was not so naive as to think that way.

What was the reason that Heaven and Buddhism spared him?

"Haha, let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that. Today is a day to be happy about, let's drink!" Qiao Liang said quickly, noticing that the atmosphere was a bit off.

"Haha, Senior Brother is right." Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong put down his thoughts for the moment and raised his cup to drink with Qiao Liang.

There's no need to worry about Huaguo Mountain.

With players around, it can be rebuilt quickly.

With a large player base, there are bound to be some talented individuals among them.

I just wonder what the rebuilt Flower and Fruit Mountain will look like.

Seeing this, Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, and Wang Lin tacitly kept quiet and burst into laughter.

After three rounds of drinking.

The atmosphere at the banquet became lively once again.

However, they did not say anything more on the surface.

But secretly.

However, a heated discussion broke out again in the game channel.

Xiao Huohuo: "Damn it, is the Heavenly Court just going to let this go after besieging Flower Fruit Mountain so many times?"

Li Mu: "Otherwise, what do you plan to do? We can't defeat the Heavenly Court."

Wang Lin: "Yes, I know you're unwilling, but what can we do? We're no match for the Heavenly Court. The only reason we were able to rescue the Great Sage was because the players were so persistent and stubborn."

Li Mu: "That's why Chief Qiao immediately changed the subject, knowing that this is what he was referring to."

Seeing this, Xiao Huohuo was immediately helpless.
I just felt a bit stifled.

He remembered how miserable and miserable Flower Fruit Mountain was during the Heavenly Court's siege.

Wang Lin: "It's a pity. It's quite difficult for Huaguo Mountain to surpass the Heavenly Court. Even if we reach the maximum level, we're only equivalent to ordinary heavenly soldiers. If we want to improve our stats further, it's too difficult unless we have a special opportunity."

The lower-level combat power is manageable; given time, it won't be weaker than the Heavenly Court, and might even surpass it. But the high-level combat power is far too much of a gap, and it's far too difficult to reach that level. Who knows how long it will take.

Even Li Mu was speechless upon hearing this.

It's incredibly difficult for players to reach high-level combat power, yet high-level combat power is precisely what determines victory or defeat on the battlefield.

But that's normal for games. After all, if you could become the strongest instantly, what would be the point of playing?

Xiao Huohuo: "So if the Heavenly Court wants to attack us again, we actually have no power to resist?"

Li Mu: "..."

Wang Lin: "..."

Both of their lips twitched.

Although I don't want to admit it, it's true. The Great Sage is indeed strong enough, but the Buddha is just too overpowered!
Qiao Liang: "That's right, so I think we can actually try to unite with Erlang Shen's side at Guanjiangkou and form an alliance!"

At this time, Qiao Liang also began to emerge.

Xiao Huohuo: “!!!”

Li Mu: "!!!"

Wang Lin: "!!!"

The three of them glanced at Qiao Liang, who was laughing and drinking with Sun Wukong, and their expressions were all shocked.

Should we join forces with Guanjiangkou?

Qiao Liang quickly offered an explanation.

Qiao Liang: "You see, it's true that it's difficult for us players to reach high-end combat power, but our basic combat power is not weak! Even among ants, there is a difference between weak ants and powerful ants! So there's no need to worry about basic combat power."

Qiao Liang: "As for high-end combat power, we players can't reach it, so why can't we directly unite with the high-end combat power in the game?"

Qiao Liang: "Erlang Shen is just like the Great Sage, with great supernatural powers and outstanding strength. Most importantly, they were both the instigators of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace. The Heavenly Court sees us as a thorn in their side. I don't believe that they have no complaints about Erlang Shen."

Qiao Liang: "We can totally unite with them, Huaguo Mountain and Guanjiang Estuary, the Great Sage and Erlang Shen, to form an anti-heaven alliance. Just how powerful would that be!"

Qiao Liang: "Although it is an anti-heaven alliance, we don't necessarily have to rebel against heaven. We are just doing insurance and protecting ourselves. If these two join forces, even the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect will tremble and dare not act rashly."

Hearing Qiao Liang's words.

Xiao Huohuo, Lin Mu, and Wang Lin were all deeply shaken.

They thought about it carefully in their hearts.

I think what Qiao Liang said actually makes a lot of sense.

It's absolutely perfect!

It mainly depends on Erlang Shen's strength and personality.

They had already learned about this beforehand.

Their strength goes without saying.

The only character who can go toe-to-toe with the Great Sage.

In terms of personality.

When the Heavenly Court ambushed the Great Sage, he dared to openly challenge the Heavenly Court and show it no respect.

How bad could it be?
Xiao Huohuo: "That makes sense, and Liu Ruyan happens to be over there. We can ask her to act as a go-between."

Li Mu: "Me, me, me, I have a few friends who were randomly assigned to that side during the public beta. I can ask them for advice."

Wang Lin: "Hahaha, it has to be Chief Qiao! If this really works out, I can't even imagine how invincible the Great Sage and Erlang Shen would be if they joined forces. They could probably cause another ruckus in the Heavenly Palace."

All three of them were very excited.

They all spoke eagerly.

The key is.

They felt that the chances of it succeeding were extremely high.

Qiao Liang smiled calmly at this.

Do you really think he got his title of Steve Jobs for nothing?

He had planned everything out long before he went to rescue the Great Sage.

Just a pity.

Now they have the identity of the Heavenly Court.

We need to keep a low profile and not act recklessly.

otherwise.

He really wanted to lead the Great Sage and the players to raid the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas again.

To know.

The last time he caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Most of their players have already lost their weapons.

The Buddha returned it to the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.

This includes himself.

It's such a pity that we don't have those magical treasures and divine weapons from the Dragon Palace.

But...

Although it's no longer possible to steal it.

Take the Great Sage to the Dragon King and ask for ten or eight items.

He probably won't refuse.

Putting everything else aside, the top-tier combat power on the player's side should at least be equipped with magic weapons, right?
While Qiao Liang was pondering this...

“Report——!!!”

A monkey rushed into the Water Curtain Cave and shouted, "Reporting to the King, several monsters have come outside. The leader claims to be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King, and says that he is the King's brother and has come to pay his respects."

"Oh~" Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes flickered, and he looked at Qiao Liang and asked, "Senior brother, do you think I, Old Sun, should see him or not?"

The Great Sage Who Pacifies Heaven – Bull Demon King.

Qiao Liang and the others naturally knew this.

They already knew from watching the live stream that Sun Wukong had made several brothers at Flower Fruit Mountain before he wreaked havoc in Heaven.

However, all of these brothers ran away when Sun Wukong became an enemy of the Heavenly Court and wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

Unexpectedly, they've come knocking on our door again.

"Hahaha, of course I'll see you, why wouldn't I?" Qiao Liang was somewhat surprised, but still laughed heartily.

He had a pretty good idea of ​​why the Bull Demon King and his group had come at this time. Seeing this, Sun Wukong nodded and let the Bull Demon King and his group in.

When the Bull Demon King and the others entered again, their eyes lit up when they saw Sun Wukong, and they laughed heartily: "Brother, do you still remember your foolish brother?"

“I remember, of course I remember,” Sun Wukong chuckled, responding just as enthusiastically.

Although the departure of the Bull Demon King and others saddened Sun Wukong, in reality, aside from Qiao Liang, they were already among Sun Wukong's few true friends.

Seeing Sun Wukong's excellent attitude, the Bull Demon King became even more enthusiastic: "I heard that you, my worthy brother, have been appointed the Great Sage Equal to Heaven by the Heavenly Court and are to guard a region, obeying orders but not summons. I have brought my brothers here to congratulate you. You are truly capable and powerful, able to make even the Heavenly Court bow down."

behind him.

The Demon King of the Flood Dragon, the Demon King of the Roc, the Lion Camel King, the Macaque King, and the Yu Rong King all echoed his sentiments, praising Sun Wukong one after another.

Such a shocking event shook the three realms.

They were naturally aware of the situation and were deeply shocked. Upon receiving the news, they immediately rushed over with the Bull Demon King.

Players who had read the original Journey to the West were also curiously observing these six monsters.

After all, it doesn't matter what they are like.

In the original story, they were known as the Seven Great Sages, along with Sun Wukong!
Now the seven great saints have gathered together.

How could such a historic moment not arouse curiosity?

"Haha, this is mainly thanks to my senior brother and everyone else's help." Sun Wukong laughed heartily, somewhat proud of the praise.

"That's natural, that's natural." The Bull Demon King nodded in agreement, then looked at Qiao Liang with a serious expression in his eyes.

Although Qiao Liang was not as strong as him, he dared not underestimate him at all.

"Bull Demon King, let me get straight to the point. What brings you to my Flower Fruit Mountain at this hour?" Qiao Liang looked at the Bull Demon King and asked with a smile.

"Uh..." The Bull Demon King was immediately embarrassed.

He understood, of course, that Qiao Liang meant that he hadn't come when Huaguo Mountain was in trouble before, so why had he come now?

His eyes darted around, and he was about to spout some nonsense when he saw Qiao Liang's smiling expression, and he was shocked.

After hesitating for a moment, I finally decided to answer honestly:
"It is like this, my good brother, Immortal Qiao, after hearing about the Flower Fruit Mountain, my brothers and I wish to join it. I wonder what you two think?"

After saying that, the Bull Demon King looked expectantly at Qiao Liang and Sun Wukong.

As soon as these words came out.

Qiao Liang's expression remained unchanged.

The players present were in an uproar.

What the hell?
The six great sages—Bull Demon King, Flood Dragon Demon King, Roc Demon King, and others—are going to join their Flower Fruit Mountain?!
Qiao Liang was not surprised by this.

Anyone familiar with Journey to the West knows that although the Bull Demon King is incredibly powerful, his strength can even be said to be comparable to that of Sun Wukong and Erlang Shen.

But he is a demon.

Demons must avoid the gods and immortals in heaven.

The Heavenly Court would occasionally send powerful deities to suppress great demons like the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King was constantly on the run, so he didn't actually have a good life.

The reason he remained unharmed and seemed to live a carefree life in Journey to the West was simply because of his extraordinary supernatural powers.

Aside from him, there are five other great saints.

When they arrived at the Western Paradise to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures, there was no news of them.

Whether they are dead or alive is completely unknown.

Now that they've heard about Sun Wukong's status at Flower Fruit Mountain, how could they not want to join it?

Having that identity meant they were no longer hunted down by the Heavenly Court.

but……

Xiao Huohuo: "There's absolutely no need to let these guys join!"

Li Mu: "Yeah, they run away when there's trouble and come back when there's no trouble. What's the point of having a scoundrel like that!"

Wang Lin: "They have the ability, but they're so unreliable!!!"

Chat interface.

Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, and Wang Lin immediately erupted in discussion, each of them talking at once.

Given the previous behavior of the Bull Demon King and his companions, they did not approve of the Bull Demon King and his group joining them.

Teaming up with Erlang Shen is much more reliable.

In response, Qiao Liang said in the chat interface: "Add them, why not let them add them? We were worried about Huaguo Mountain not having high-end combat power before, but now they've come, haven't they?"

Qiao Liang was grinning from ear to ear; just as he had expected.

The Bull Demon King and his companions came to join Flower Fruit Mountain.

There are the Seven Sages of Meishan at the mouth of the Guanjiang River.

Their Flower and Fruit Mountain might also have its own Seven Great Sages.

"This matter... let Senior Brother decide," Sun Wukong said, scratching his head.

Although the Bull Demon King and others were among his few friends, Sun Wukong knew that they were nothing more than fair-weather friends, unreliable.

I'm really torn about whether to agree to his proposal. Ugh, what a hassle. I guess I'll just pass it on to my senior.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King and the others immediately looked at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang smiled and said, "Yes, we can definitely add you. But as your senior brother said, if you join Flower Fruit Mountain, you'll have to do some work."

"Of course! As long as you're willing to let us join Flower Fruit Mountain! Whatever Brother and Immortal Qiao ask of us, we will absolutely do our utmost without hesitation," the Bull Demon King said, patting his chest with boundless pride.

"Even if it means you have to fight against the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect?" Qiao Liang asked curiously.

“This…” Cold sweat broke out on the Bull Demon King’s forehead. He hesitated and said, “This is also…naturally.”

"Good! I hope you great saints will not forget your promise today!" Qiao Liang nodded immediately upon hearing this. "Otherwise, our Flower Fruit Mountain will definitely not let you go. Although we are not as strong as you, I'm sure you great saints have heard that we are troublesome."

Upon hearing these words, all six Great Sages, including the Bull Demon King, twitched at the corners of their mouths.

Not to mention them, everyone in the Three Realms knows how troublesome they are.

Even the Heavenly Court couldn't do anything about it.

Not to mention them.

If you get into a conflict with them, things will definitely turn upside down.

They might be able to put up a fight with their own strength, but they probably shouldn't even think about having another minor demon under their command.

Every single one of them will be wiped out by these guys.

They were not in harmony with the Heavenly Court and had also offended Flower Fruit Mountain.

There's nowhere left to live in the world, so I might as well just live a life of running for my life every day.

Several of the Great Sages were now regretting coming to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Although things were tough before, at least most of the time I was free and unrestrained, acting as the king without any inhibitions.

But now, looking at Qiao Liang's smiling expression, it seems they can't leave even if they want to.

This is the threat Qiao Liang posed to them.

With a threat in place, there's no need to worry about them not putting in the effort.

"Alright! Let us welcome the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King! The Great Sage Overturning the Seas, the Flood Dragon Demon King! The Great Sage Chaos, the Roc Demon King! The Great Sage Moving Mountains, the Lion Camel King! The Great Sage Knowing All Things, the Macaque King! The Great Sage Driving Away Gods, the Yu Rong King, to join our Flower Fruit Mountain!"

Qiao Liang raised his glass and shouted loudly.

Inside the Water Curtain Cave and outside Flower and Fruit Mountain, a cheer suddenly erupted!
The six great saints stood there awkwardly, but could only agree.

They originally just wanted a title, but now it seems they've gotten themselves into trouble and can't get out.

Xiao Huohuo, Li Mu, and Wang Lin all looked at Qiao Liang with immense admiration.

They didn't admire Qiao Liang's intelligence; in terms of intelligence, they were no less capable than others. But Qiao Liang's mind worked just too fast!

The banquet resumed immediately.

The original victory celebration banquet was expanded to include a welcome banquet.

Welcome to the Bull Demon King and his companions.

At the banquet.

Qiao Liang also laughed and said that what he had told them before about fighting against heaven and Buddha was all a joke.

They are now civil servants of the Heavenly Court; how could they possibly do such a rebellious thing?

The Bull Demon King and the others were all ashamed.

Fine, whatever you say.

After the banquet ends.

Qiao Liang stood before everyone and addressed all the players of Huaguo Mountain:
"Alright, brothers! Thanks for coming to help me this time! Nothing more to say! If you ever need anything in the future, feel free to contact me anytime! I'll definitely do my best!"

"The public beta has just begun, and everyone has a new account. After that, you can level up or do whatever you want. Those who want to stay in Huaguo Mountain can stay, and those who want to go out can go out!"

"In short, Huaguo Mountain will always be your base camp. You are welcome to come back whenever you want. Mountains may not move, but water may not move, but people will. We'll meet again!"

After saying that, Qiao Liang picked up a large jug of wine and gulped it down.

The players' cheers immediately became deafening.

Sun Wukong chuckled to himself. He had no objection to his fellow disciples and friends, or to the benefactor who had rescued him from the Five Elements Mountain, coming to Flower Fruit Mountain.

The Bull Demon King and his companions watched in stunned silence. Although they couldn't understand much of what was being said, they were still deeply shocked.

Especially the Bull Demon King, who considered himself to be extremely righteous, but compared to Qiao Liang in front of him, there was still a considerable gap.

So many anomalies gather together because of this person, and that's why, even though the anomalies aren't particularly strong, they can still cause headaches for the entire Three Realms.

After the banquet is completely over.

Some players stayed in Huaguo Mountain, some left, and some simply logged off to rest.

It's not that they don't want to stay in Flower Fruit Mountain.

The main problem is that with so many players needing to reach the maximum level, Huaguo Mountain might not be able to afford to support them all.

Huaguo Mountain itself was almost completely wiped out by the Heavenly Court.

They plan to come to Flower Fruit Mountain after they have maxed out their level.

Once you reach the maximum level, it doesn't matter where you are.

Everyone was very excited.

In the end, only 40,000 to 50,000 players remained in Huaguo Mountain.

It's a little more than during the closed beta, but not much.

Even including the monkeys and their offspring, it's only about 50,000.

This is far fewer than the 100,000 demon soldiers and generals who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then.

But... enough.

Qiao Liang looked at the Bull Demon King and the others with a smile on his face.

Isn't the Anti-Heaven Alliance slowly growing stronger?
Once they reconnect with Liu Ruyan and Erlang Shen, they will be even stronger.

Now all we need to do is wait for the right opportunity.

Let's wait until all the players in the public beta have reached the maximum level first.

If the time is right.

Qiao Liang thought it would be better to first deal with Lion Camel Ridge.

After all, they were civil servants of the Heavenly Court.

Slaying demons and eliminating evil spirits, that makes perfect sense, right?
