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

It's no wonder Ling Xuzi reacted so strongly.

The Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain is home to none other than Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

There are also four mischievous monkeys, as well as six great demon saints including the Bull Demon King and the Flood Dragon Demon King.

Any one of them, placed on any mountain, would be a king or a top-tier demon in the demon realm!

Not to mention the subordinates of Huaguo Mountain, who are immortal and incredibly powerful.

When they wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, even the heavenly soldiers were no match for them, causing headaches for both the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sects.

If you were to switch to a lesser demon from another place, it would be quite good if it could not even match the heavenly soldiers, let alone be easily defeated by them. Some weaker demon kings and cave lords could even be dealt with by three to five heavenly soldiers.

It's easy to imagine how terrifying Flower Fruit Mountain must be.

In the demon world.

The Flower and Fruit Mountain as it is today.

It has become synonymous with the holy land of the demon race.

Not only is it so powerful that even the Heavenly Court acknowledges it, but ordinary demons dare not provoke it at all, and are even extremely afraid of it.

Ling Xuzi learned that the Black Bear Spirit had actually provoked Flower Fruit Mountain, and even more so, the Monkey King Sun Wukong.

He had even made up his mind that once he returned, he would tell his master that he should never associate with Black Wind Cave again, otherwise he would implicate them sooner or later.

"This..." The Black Bear Demon's lips twitched slightly as Ling Xuzi roared at him, and his hand holding the weapon trembled a little.

Although he had lived in Black Wind Mountain for a long time, he knew about Flower Fruit Mountain and the great name of the Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

Who would have thought that the monkey they encountered was none other than the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong? No, the question should be: why would the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, be with a monk?

But glancing down at the shimmering brocade cassock on the table, the Black Bear Spirit gritted his teeth and forced a calm demeanor, saying, "Brother, don't panic. No matter how powerful that monkey is, he might not really fight me to the death over a cassock. I'll go out and meet him. If he's reasonable, I'll try to reason with him. If he's unreasonable..."

Before he could finish speaking, a deafening voice suddenly came from outside the cave: "Black Bear Spirit, are you scared? Stop hiding in the cave and playing the coward, get out here right now!"

It turned out that Sun Wukong had gotten impatient waiting outside, and seeing that the Black Bear Spirit had not yet come out, he called out.

The sound wave, accompanied by a strong wind, caused the rubble on the top of the cave to fall in a flurry.

The Black Bear Spirit's face turned pale, and he could no longer maintain his composure. His legs were spinning. He was not only afraid of Sun Wukong, but also of the power of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ling Xuzi shook off his hand and scrambled to the back of the cave, saying, "Good luck to you! I'm not getting involved in this mess!"

Before long, they disappeared from the spot.

"You!" The black bear spirit was both angry and anxious, but he didn't care to pursue the matter further: "This is too much! I don't believe that he can kill me just because I'm borrowing a cassock!"

Having said that, he grabbed his weapon, forced himself to remain calm, and quickly walked out of the cave.

Outside the cave, Sun Wukong stood with his hands on his hips on a huge rock, his fiery eyes wide open. Seeing the Black Bear Demon emerge, he immediately laughed:
"You dark-skinned monster, how dare you steal the cassock I lent out! Today I will tear down your Black Wind Cave and strip you of your bear skin!"

The black bear spirit trembled in fright and quickly bowed, saying, "Great Sage, please calm down! It's all a misunderstanding! Yesterday, I saw the temple on fire and saw the cassock lying in the flames. I was worried it would be burned, so I brought it back to my cave for safekeeping. I was planning to return it today, but I never expected the Great Sage to come in person..."

"Keep it safe?" Sun Wukong laughed loudly, slamming his golden cudgel on the ground with a loud bang, creating a half-foot-deep crater. "You're spouting nonsense! Do you think I, Old Sun, am a fool? That cassock was a gift from Guanyin Bodhisattva; it's impervious to water and fire. What need do you have for 'keeping it safe'? Hand it over now, kowtow three more times, and I'll spare you this time!"

The Black Bear Spirit's face turned pale and then red. He was afraid of Flower Fruit Mountain, but Sun Wukong was being too disrespectful. Not only did he make him return the cassock, but he also made him kowtow three times.

He simply couldn't bring himself to do this in front of all the lesser demons: "This is intolerable! Everyone says that you, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, are incredibly powerful. I'd like to see just how strong you really are!"

Having said that, the Black Bear Demon also grabbed his weapon and roared as he attacked Sun Wukong.

"Hahaha, good timing!" Sun Wukong's eyes lit up when he saw the Black Bear Demon finally make a move, and he laughed heartily as he went to greet him.

He had originally wanted to test the strength of the monsters in the eighty-one tribulations, but he found it so difficult to fight them in "Journey to the West".

He deliberately provoked the Black Bear Spirit to attack.

Sun Wukong raised his golden cudgel to block the black bear demon's black-tasseled spear, and then swung the golden cudgel at the black bear demon.

The black bear spirit hurriedly tried to block, but with a loud "clang," he was jolted backward, his hands split open, and the spear shaft hummed, almost slipping from his grasp.

His expression immediately turned to shock; he hadn't expected Sun Wukong's strength to be so formidable.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed to see that the Black Bear Spirit could actually withstand his attack. It should be noted that anyone who could withstand Sun Wukong's attack was already considered to have great supernatural powers. Even many gods and immortals in heaven could not withstand a single blow from Sun Wukong's staff.

Sun Wukong, eager to hunt, fought the Black Bear Spirit for several rounds. Although he had the upper hand from beginning to end, he couldn't defeat the Black Bear Spirit for a while.

However, the Black Bear Demon grew increasingly alarmed as the fight progressed, cold sweat beading on its forehead. It had thought that after cultivating for thousands of years in Black Wind Mountain, its martial arts skills were already superb, and it didn't take ordinary demon kings seriously at all. It was even confident that it could contend with legendary demon kings.

But under Sun Wukong's attack, every collision felt like hitting a moving mountain. His arms went numb and he could barely hold the gun, which made him realize the gap between himself and these legendary demon kings.

"That's exhilarating! That's exhilarating!" Sun Wukong grew more and more energetic as he fought, wielding his golden cudgel like a whirlwind, sometimes transforming it into a spear to thrust straight ahead, and sometimes into a sledgehammer to smash down, forcing the Black Bear Spirit to retreat repeatedly, crushing the rocks beneath his feet.

The surrounding lesser demons were already terrified and hid in the distance, not daring to even breathe. When had they ever seen their cave master forced into such a predicament?

After exchanging dozens of blows with Sun Wukong, the Black Bear Spirit, realizing he couldn't win by force, suddenly transformed into a wisp of black smoke and darted into the depths of the cave, shouting, "Sun Wukong! The cassock is in the cave! Take it and leave, why force me like this!"

Although he was heartbroken over his precious cassock, the black bear spirit knew that things were beyond his control and he couldn't risk his life for a cassock.

"Hahaha, don't worry about the cassock, it's right there and can't escape." Sun Wukong laughed as he chased after the black bear demon, saying this as he did so.

The viewers in the live stream were abuzz with excitement as the chat exploded with comments.

[High-energy throughout!]

[Hahaha, the Great Sage is hilarious! He doesn't even care about his cassock; he just wants to fight the Black Bear Demon.]

"Of course! Think about it, ever since the Great Sage wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, when has he ever truly fought anyone? At most, he's just sparred with Erlang Shen and the Bull Demon King. Given the chance, he'll definitely give them a good thrashing. The Great Sage is such a playful and mischievous person!"

[The playful bickering was alright, it was hilarious.]

[Black Bear Spirit: Don't come any closer!]

Sun Wukong somersaulted to the cave entrance and kicked the door.

The heavy stone door shattered with a crash, and Sun Wukong rushed in, carrying his golden cudgel.

The little demons in the cave scattered in fright, but he swept them all down with a single blow of his staff.

"Sun Wukong! If you push me too far, you won't get away with it either!" The Black Bear Spirit shouted again upon seeing this.

"Can't get away with it? I, Old Sun, would like to see how you can't get away with it." Sun Wukong showed no fear upon hearing this, but instead chuckled.

Upon reaching the inner cave, Sun Wukong spotted Tang Sanzang's brocade cassock on the stone platform. He grabbed the cassock, dusted it off, and put it away. Not long after, he found the Black Bear Spirit again.

With nowhere to retreat, the black bear demon, upon seeing Sun Wukong, exclaimed in surprise and fear, "You've already taken the cassock, what more do you want?"

Sun Wukong pointed his golden cudgel at the Black Bear Spirit and said, "Although I, Old Sun, have already taken the cassock, I haven't settled the score with you for stealing it yet."

"What do you intend to do?" the black bear spirit asked.

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said, "How about this? As the saying goes, you may escape death but not punishment. You've seen my strength, so I'll show you a way out. How about you join our Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain and become a guardian general?"

That's right, this is Sun Wukong's plan: to recruit the Black Bear Spirit into his group!
This is also the main reason why, even though he had read the original story and knew that the problem could be solved by asking Guanyin Bodhisattva, he didn't ask her and instead tried to solve it himself.

Although the Black Bear Spirit stole Tang Sanzang's brocade cassock, he was actually a righteous demon who cultivated both Taoism and Buddhism.

In the original story, he initially went to Guanyin Temple because he saw that the temple was on fire and wanted to help put it out. However, he became greedy when he saw the cassock.

Such a monster.

Sun Wukong actually admires him quite a bit. Not only is he incredibly powerful, but he also has his own bottom line. If he really got into a fight, he would be far more benevolent than the six great sages of Flower Fruit Mountain.

If Guanyin Bodhisattva could subdue the Black Bear Spirit to guard the gate, why couldn't she invite the Black Bear Spirit to join their Flower Fruit Mountain?
In these three realms, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect are not simple, so of course their Flower Fruit Mountain also needs to strengthen its own power!
This skill was taught to me by my senior brother Qiao Liang. Isn't this how you form an alliance with Erlang Shen Yang Jian and Nezha, the Third Prince?

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

The viewers in the live stream were all astonished after hearing Sun Wukong's words.

All the comments fell silent for a moment, then burst into exclamations.

No one expected that Sun Wukong would invite the Black Bear Spirit to join Flower Fruit Mountain.

[What the hell?! Is this even possible?!]

[At first glance, it seems outrageous, but upon closer inspection, it doesn't seem so outrageous after all. After all, even the Six Great Sages of Flower Fruit Mountain have joined! What's wrong with adding another Black Bear Spirit?]

No wonder the Great Sage didn't go to Guanyin even though he knew the original story; he was afraid Guanyin would snatch him away!

[That's not even the most outrageous part. One black bear spirit is fine, but if the Great Sage dragged all the monsters from the eighty-one tribulations to Flower Fruit Mountain, that would be truly outrageous!]

[Wow, I wouldn't even dare to imagine it! Do you think the Great Sage would really do that?]

All I can say is that, based on the current situation, it's very likely!

[No way, just how powerful must Flower Fruit Mountain be?! The number one power below Heaven and Buddhism?]

[What are the Heavenly Court and Buddhism compared to this! If it really happens, even the Heavenly Court and Buddhism will tremble!]

There's no need to elaborate on how many monsters there are, or how powerful they are, in the eighty-one tribulations.

Even disregarding the mounts of those gods and bodhisattvas, they are still a terrifying force.

Just thinking about it makes countless people feel a little terrified.

Is this the Monkey King who didn't get imprisoned under the Five Finger Mountain for five hundred years and read the original novel? He really is going to bring them a surprise!

"Huh?" The Black Bear Demon was also stunned when he heard Sun Wukong's words, his eyes widening in surprise.

Join Flower Fruit Mountain? Become its guardian general?
real or fake?

If it were anywhere else, the Black Bear Spirit would refuse without even thinking. After all, being a mountain guard general is nothing compared to being the king of Black Wind Mountain.

But Flower Fruit Mountain is different.

Huaguo Mountain is now a sacred place for the demon race.

In fact, after Sun Wukong escaped from the Five Elements Mountain, the Heavenly Court once again conferred upon him the title of Great Sage Equal to Heaven, acknowledging the status of Flower Fruit Mountain, and the Six Great Sages joined Flower Fruit Mountain.

Many demons also had the same idea, wanting to join Flower Fruit Mountain like the Six Great Sages.

After all, they are monsters, even if they live as kings of mountains and seem carefree.

But in reality, it's quite normal for a demon king to accidentally provoke a powerful enemy and be wiped out, for the Heavenly Court to send troops to suppress it and be killed, or for other demon kings to covet it and be eliminated.

Unlike Flower Fruit Mountain, which even the Heavenly Army and its generals couldn't touch, and which gods and Buddhas dared not provoke easily, and which other demon kings avoided, there was no need to worry about one's own safety.

This is also the main reason why the Bull Demon King and others joined Flower Fruit Mountain.

Entering Flower Fruit Mountain would be a hundred times more respectable and a thousand times safer than being some kind of "mountain king" in some godforsaken place.

This is the sacred land of the demon race.

Even a righteous demon like the Black Bear Spirit is discriminated against, because in many people's eyes, a demon is a demon, and there is no such thing as righteousness.

This is the current predicament of monsters.

The reason why so many demons wanted to join Flower Fruit Mountain was that, apart from the Six Great Sages and the people they brought, there were actually not many demons joining Flower Fruit Mountain.

That's because Flower Fruit Mountain is far too "exclusive".

Many monsters who wanted to join Huaguo Mountain were killed by the players before they even reached the mountain, turning into experience points for leveling up.

To avoid misunderstanding, a monster saw the players from Flower Fruit Mountain and quickly stated that he had come to join them. The players burst into laughter and replied, "Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can join Flower Fruit Mountain now," before being killed.

After many demons died on Flower Fruit Mountain, the demons from the outside world were startled and dared not come to seek refuge on Flower Fruit Mountain anymore.

That's why Huaguo Mountain is peaceful now.

Seeing that the Black Bear Spirit didn't answer for a long time, Sun Wukong frowned and said, "What, you don't want to?"

"No, no! I'm willing, I'm very willing! Thank you, Great Sage." The Black Bear Spirit came to his senses and quickly said.

Now that he's been pushed to this point by Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong has no reason to lie to him.

Not to mention, with the power of Huaguo Mountain, there's no need for such a complicated deception to deal with him.

"Hahaha, good, I, Old Sun, guarantee you won't regret it. What's this cassock? My Flower Fruit Mountain has countless treasures, all sorts of strange and wonderful things." Sun Wukong laughed heartily upon hearing this, and said with satisfaction.

"What?" The black bear spirit was shocked, and his face immediately lit up with joy. He never expected that joining Flower Fruit Mountain would bring such a good thing.
