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

Qiao Liang led the two westward, but they were halfway there when...

He suddenly thought of something, stopped in his tracks, and put on a thoughtful expression.

Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang stopped as well, their faces filled with confusion.

"What's wrong, Old Joe?" Han Paopao asked.

"No, that's not right." Qiao Liang didn't answer Han Paopao's question. Instead, he said, "Old Han, Jiao Demon King, we don't need to go together. It seems like it would be better to split up and invite the great demon. That would be more efficient."

Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang were stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

They couldn't understand why Qiao Liang had told them to follow just now, but now he was telling them to split up.

Not to mention them, even the viewers in the live stream couldn't figure it out.

[Holy crap, what's going on?]

Why did Chief Qiao suddenly order Emperor Han and the Demon King Jiao to split up and search for the person?

[I thought the reason Chief Qiao invited the Flood Dragon Demon King was so that the three of them could put pressure on the monsters on the journey to the West, and at the same time showcasing the strength of Flower Fruit Mountain, like the Yellow Wind Great Sage did before. But it turns out there was this kind of tactic too?]

I think so too. It's not impossible that they could be killed separately, after all, monsters aren't so easy to reason with.

What is Steve Jobs thinking?

The audience whispered amongst themselves, completely baffled, while comments streamed across the screen.

Han Paopao didn't really understand either, but out of trust in Qiao Liang, he nodded and said, "Okay, no problem."

Seeing this, the Flood Dragon King naturally had no objections.

Soon, they had also decided on their respective destinations.

Xiang Han ran away to find the White Bone Demon and see if he could invite her to Flower Fruit Mountain.

As for the Flood Dragon Demon King, he went to the Spider Cave to see if he could invite the seven spider demons from the original story.

Qiao Liang, however, continued towards his original destination.

Ultimately, while the eighty-one tribulations seem to involve numerous monsters, there are actually very few that can be won over. Not only Kui Mulang, but also other monsters like Laozi's mount, the Green Ox, and the Golden Horn and Silver Horn—could they really be brought to Flower Fruit Mountain? Wouldn't that be suicidal?
The three of them quickly separated.

Qiao Liang headed northwest and soon arrived at Jilei Mountain.

That's right, Mount Jilei!

The territory of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Bull Demon King.

If we're talking about which of the eighty-one demons in the Ninety-Nine Tribulations is the easiest to win over, wouldn't Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy be the easiest to win over, given that the Bull Demon King has already joined Flower Fruit Mountain?

This was Qiao Liang's original destination.

It's important to know that even during the eighty-one tribulations, Red Boy and Princess Iron Fan possessed extraordinary strength.

The closer Qiao Liang got to Jilei Mountain, the thicker the demonic aura in the air became, and he could even see flashes of lightning occasionally appearing in the clouds.

"No wonder this is Old Niu's territory," Qiao Liang thought to himself.

He quickly descended from the sky and arrived at the foot of Jilei Mountain. There, he saw a small demon holding a spiked club. Upon seeing Qiao Liang's arrival, the demon was startled and shouted, "Who goes there? How dare you trespass on my Jilei Mountain!"

Qiao Liang laughed heartily and said loudly, "Please inform the Bull Demon King that Qiao Liang of Flower Fruit Mountain has come to pay a visit."

Upon hearing the words "Flower Fruit Mountain," the little demons were immediately startled. One of them quickly ran up the mountain, while the remaining demons had already laid down their weapons, and their expressions became much more respectful.

[Holy crap, so Chief Qiao came to see the Bull Demon King. Indeed, compared to other demons, having the Bull Demon King as a connection makes it much easier to invite Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy.]

[Red Boy, I remember he was indeed formidable in the original story, no wonder he's the son of the Bull Demon King.]

I wonder who's stronger, him or Nezha, haha, they seem to have some overlapping attributes.

【What?! You're comparing Red Boy to the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas? Don't make people laugh their heads off.】

【Why can't we compare? I remember in the original story, Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire caused even the Great Sage a lot of suffering.】

[I know that. I've seen people analyze it before. The Great Sage wasn't afraid of the Samadhi True Fire; his eyes were damaged by it, which is why he suffered. After all, neither Laozi's Six Ding Divine Fire nor the thunder and fire on the Demon-Slaying Platform could harm the Great Sage, so how could he be afraid of Red Boy's fire?]

[Red Boy and Nezha? A 30/70 split. Red Boy dies seven times in three minutes. The monsters on the Journey to the West might be strong, each a demon king, but they're still far inferior to these three traitors.]

The chat room was already buzzing with activity.

Not long after, in the game, a series of muffled footsteps came from the mountain, and the ground trembled slightly.

A burly man, three zhang tall, wearing a purple-gold crown and wielding a mixed iron cudgel, stepped forward; it was none other than the Bull Demon King. Behind him followed a beautiful woman, Princess Iron Fan.

"Hahaha, Brother Qiao, what brings you to my territory today? Is there something you need to tell me?" The Bull Demon King's hearty laughter made the leaves around him rustle.

Qiao Liang saw that the Bull Demon King also had a smile on his face.

Among all the demon kings in Journey to the West, the Bull Demon King is definitely one of the very few who can truly rival the three traitors, even surpassing the other seven great sages.

How could Qiao Liang not be happy that such a person is a member of Huaguo Mountain?
Qiao Liang stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying, "Haha, no, no, but I do have something to discuss with you. This must be Princess Iron Fan, right? Hello, sister-in-law."

Princess Iron Fan, wearing a pearl hairpin and holding a small round fan, smiled slightly and replied to Qiao Liang, "I have long heard of Fellow Daoist Qiao's reputation, and I thank Fellow Daoist Qiao for taking care of my husband."

Meanwhile, Qiao Liang's live stream was also bustling with activity. After all, Princess Iron Fan was a true beauty. It has to be said that the female character models in "Myth" are all stunning, each with its own unique features.

Who would have thought that someone as handsome as the Bull Demon King with thick eyebrows and big eyes could marry such a beautiful princess as Princess Iron Fan?

"Hahaha, Brother Qiao, just say what you want to say. We're all from Flower Fruit Mountain now, so why be so polite with me?" Bull Demon King laughed heartily from the side.

Since joining Huaguo Mountain, he has indeed lived a relatively comfortable life. Before joining Huaguo Mountain, he thought there would be many things to do.

Unexpectedly, most of the time, all I had to do was eat, drink, have fun, and enjoy myself with my brothers; there were no business matters to deal with.

Even if monsters invade, he doesn't need to lift a finger; all the players from Flower Fruit Mountain will rush up with roars.

With the name and protection of Flower Fruit Mountain, yet without any obligations, how could he not be comfortable there? Not to mention, he could always see some strange and unusual things on Flower Fruit Mountain. Even though he was a demon king, he was often very interested in those things on Flower Fruit Mountain.

"Alright, since that's the case, I'll get straight to the point." Qiao Liang looked at the two of them and said with a smile, "Old Niu, actually, the main reason I came here this time is to invite my sister-in-law, Princess Iron Fan, and Red Boy to join Flower Fruit Mountain. It would be best if they could move to Flower Fruit Mountain to live."

Qiao Liang got straight to the point, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King paused for a moment.

Princess Iron Fan, standing to the side, still wore a smile on her face, showing no change whatsoever.

"The reason you returned to Jilei Mountain is because Guanyin Bodhisattva asked you to become one of the eighty-one tribulations. But there's something she didn't tell you: not only you, but even your child, Red Boy, will become one of the eighty-one tribulations," Qiao Liang said earnestly.

"What?!" Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King was immediately shocked and said in disbelief, "This is impossible!"

"Why not?" Qiao Liang retorted. "You know Red Boy's temperament. Once he encounters the monks on their journey to the West, he will inevitably cause trouble. At that time, will he still have the right to refuse?"

The Bull Demon King's heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously wanted to deny it again.

After all, he is different now than before. He is now a person of Huaguo Mountain. How could Guanyin... or rather the Buddhist sect, presume to take his child without informing him? You should know that even if he were to act as one of them, it would be Guanyin who invited him.

But upon closer reflection, he realized it wasn't impossible. After all, he was the one who joined Huaguo Mountain, so what did it have to do with his wife and children?
How could the Buddhist community possibly care about them? They could simply dismiss it as an accident or a matter of fate.

"How does Fellow Daoist Qiao know these things?" Princess Iron Fan couldn't help but ask at this moment.

"I naturally have my own methods, but I can guarantee that there will be absolutely no deception," Qiao Liang said confidently.

After all, this is the plot from the original novel. Qiao Liang doesn't think that just because things have changed, this incident won't happen; that would be impossible.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan fell silent. They looked at each other, knowing that as powerful demons, they could judge whether what Qiao Liang said was true and whether the event would actually happen.

So they didn't know what to say for a moment.

Qiao Liang pressed on, saying, "And even if we put this matter aside, it's not certain that you'll be safe staying in Jilei Mountain."

As everyone knows, Old Bull is now one of us from Flower Fruit Mountain. If you and your son are here and are regarded as "Bull Demon King's Achilles' heel" by the Heavenly Court or the Buddhist sect, you might be in trouble.

With the situation in the Three Realms uncertain, having more allies means more confidence. To be frank, our Flower Fruit Mountain has not only invited you, but also other demons such as the Black Bear Spirit, the Yellow Wind Great Sage, and the White Bone Demon. Most of them have already begun their journey to Flower Fruit Mountain.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan were startled once again.

In that case, the strength of Flower Fruit Mountain will likely surge once again.

[666, it still has to be Steve Jobs!]

[His eloquence is so captivating, it's almost mesmerizing.]

[That's impressive, but thinking about the situation in the Three Realms, Boss Qiao wasn't wrong. If monsters want to protect themselves, they have to stick together. Otherwise, if gods and Buddhas scheme against them, they'll be powerless to resist.]

[Huaguo Mountain is now essentially the Heavenly Court and Buddhist sanctuary for demons, serving as their powerful backer. That's incredibly impressive.]

The situation in the Three Realms has changed; who knows what will happen next?

Everyone in the live broadcast room was talking about it.

The Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan were indeed moved by Qiao Liang's words.

The Bull Demon King gripped his iron cudgel tightly, his fingertips turning white. He remained silent for a long, long time before finally exhaling and saying, "Brother, you're right. That Buddhist sect dared to scheme against my son; it's unforgivable. Wife, let's move to Flower Fruit Mountain together. I don't care about this bullshit Journey to the West that they've treated me like this."

Princess Iron Fan paused her fan in mid-air, her gaze falling on Qiao Liang, and said softly, "Fellow Daoist Qiao, joining Flower Fruit Mountain is fine, but there are two things I need to tell you first."

“Sister-in-law, please speak freely,” Qiao Liang replied immediately.

"First, I hope to designate an independent area on Flower Fruit Mountain, where no one except my son, my mother, and the old ox can enter without permission." Princess Iron Fan looked up at Qiao Liang.

“That’s easy,” Qiao Liang said with a smile. “There’s a valley called ‘Emerald Cloud Valley’ on the back mountain. There’s a natural barrier at the entrance of the valley. I’ll have someone add another layer of formation to ensure it’s quiet.”

"Secondly, Red Boy has a wild nature; what if he causes trouble on Flower Fruit Mountain..."

"Haha, don't worry about that." Before she could finish speaking, Qiao Liang burst into laughter, "Sister-in-law, you don't understand our Flower Fruit Mountain! What we have in abundance in Flower Fruit Mountain is troublemakers!"

Princess Iron Fan's expression froze for a moment upon hearing this.

The Bull Demon King was somewhat amused and exasperated. Faced with Princess Iron Fan's questioning gaze, he hesitated for a moment before nodding.

This isn't just Qiao Liang being modest; after all, when it comes to causing trouble, who can compare to a player?

Princess Iron Fan smiled, bowed, and said, "Since that's the case, my son and I are both willing to join Flower Fruit Mountain. We hope that Great Sage and Fellow Daoist Qiao will take good care of us in the future."

She had no reason to refuse, and in her eyes, she understood that it wasn't a bad thing for the demon race to have such a place.

It wasn't that people didn't understand before; everyone knew that if the demon race wanted to fight against the Heavenly Court and Buddhism, they had to unite instead of being a disorganized mess like they are now. But no one had ever managed to do it.

After all, the demon race values ​​strength above all else. Without overwhelming strength and prestige, it would be impossible to do such a thing. Sun Wukong, who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace and was able to escape unscathed, and Flower Fruit Mountain, clearly had the qualifications.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang's smile widened even more.

Princess Iron Fan also told Qiao Liang that Red Boy was currently away and had not returned. After Red Boy returned, she would explain the situation to him and then head to Flower Fruit Mountain soon.

Qiao Liang had no problem with this, and he even told the Bull Demon King that they could skip the journey to the West if they wanted, but they still had to put on a show of politeness, since it wasn't the time to clash with Buddhism yet, as Buddhism still valued the journey to the West very much.

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King pondered for a moment, understood the pros and cons, and nodded in agreement.

During this period, Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang also brought good news one after another, and Qiao Liang's smile became even brighter.

This is the prestige that Huaguo Mountain enjoys now.

however.

Not long after he was about to leave Jilei Mountain.

He then saw a wisp of auspicious cloud suddenly drifting across the sky not far away, and he could vaguely make out the shadow of the jade bottle...
