Qiao Liang saw it, and so did many viewers in the live stream, causing an uproar and a flood of comments.

Qiao Liang raised an eyebrow, and seeing this, he took two steps back without making a sound, changed direction, and prepared to leave secretly.

However, Guanyin came here specifically to find Qiao Liang, so how could she let him leave?

"Fellow Daoist Qiao, please wait. Now that you're here, why rush to leave?"

As such a sound rang out, auspicious clouds slowly descended from the summit of Mount Jilei, and as the lotus platform swayed gently, the figure of Guanyin appeared.

She held a willow branch between her fingers, looked at Qiao Liang, and smiled compassionately.

Knowing he couldn't avoid it any longer, Qiao Liang simply stopped hiding and walked over, smiling and cupping his hands in greeting, "Greetings, Bodhisattva. I never expected to run into you here."

"Amitabha." Guanyin Bodhisattva first uttered a Buddhist chant, and then said softly, "I heard that the Bull Demon King returned to Mount Jilei a few days ago, wishing to help the Buddhist sect complete the nine-nine tribulations, so I came to see him and express my gratitude."

"I see." Qiao Liang nodded and quickly said, "In that case, Bodhisattva, go find Old Ox. He's down there now. I'll take my leave now."

After saying that, Qiao Liang prepared to slip away again.

"Fellow Daoist, please wait." Helpless, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no choice but to call out to Qiao Liang again, revealing her true purpose, and said softly, "To be honest, besides coming to find the Bull Demon King, this humble monk has also come to find you, fellow Daoist."

"Me? What could I possibly want?" Qiao Liang scratched the back of his head, feigning ignorance.

"Why feign ignorance and stupidity, Fellow Daoist Qiao?" Guanyin Bodhisattva shook her head. "These days, Fellow Daoist Qiao has not been at Flower Fruit Mountain, but has been running around on the journey to the West, pulling great demons on the journey to Flower Fruit Mountain. I wonder what your intentions are?"

"Haha." Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang looked around, still feigning ignorance.

"Regardless, I urge Fellow Daoist Qiao to stop." Guanyin Bodhisattva did not mind, and her tone was as gentle as ever: "The journey to the West is predetermined. These monsters each have their own tribulations. Fellow Daoist Qiao's actions, which bring many monsters from the journey to the West to Flower Fruit Mountain, may disrupt the natural order."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang stopped pretending to be naive and said confidently, "Don't worry about this Bodhisattva. Although I invited them to join Huaguo Mountain, I will absolutely not disrupt the journey to the West."

For example, I always told Lao Niu and the others to come to Flower Fruit Mountain after their arduous journey to the West.”

Indeed, Qiao Liang had no intention of disrupting the journey to the West. Even when the Bull Demon King was so angry that he wanted to go on strike, he persuaded him to stop.

Disrupting the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures carries a karmic burden far too heavy for Flower Fruit Mountain to bear.

Qiao Liang at most wanted to change the fate of the monsters on the journey to the West, who were either subdued or killed. Now, Huaguo Mountain is embracing the monsters, which not only strengthens Huaguo Mountain but also gives these monsters a safe path to follow.

Isn't this a mutually beneficial and helpful thing?
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed upon hearing Qiao Liang's words.

The Buddhist sect was not only worried about the journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, but also about Flower Fruit Mountain. You must know that Flower Fruit Mountain is the place where the most anomalies gather. The actions of anomalies are completely unpredictable. With so many powerful demons gathering there, how could the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect not be worried?

"Regardless, this humble monk still hopes that Fellow Daoist Qiao can stop." Guanyin thought for a moment, not knowing how to explain, so she simply spoke directly.

"Since you've said so, Bodhisattva, then fine, I have no problem with it."

However, what is surprising is...

Upon hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately agreed.

Not to mention the viewers in the live stream, even Guanyin herself was a little stunned by this result.

[Holy crap, what's going on with Steve Jobs?]

[Are you already backing down?]

This isn't the Steve Jobs I know.

[That's understandable. After all, what could Qiao Feng and his group do if the Buddhist sect intervened? Flower Fruit Mountain is currently in a very difficult position to contend with Buddhism.]

That being said, Steve Jobs wasn't the type to back down so easily.

The live stream chat was constantly filled with comments.

Although she didn't know what was going on, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and nodded, saying, "Good, since that's the case, then thank you, Fellow Daoist Qiao. That's very good."

"You're too kind, Bodhisattva," Qiao Liang returned the greeting.

After exchanging a few more words, the two parted ways.

Since he could no longer recruit monsters, Qiao Liang simply flew directly towards Flower Fruit Mountain.

Seeing Qiao Liang heading towards Flower Fruit Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva felt relieved and began to descend towards Jilei Mountain to search for the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan.

As a nun, she did not lie. She was indeed on her way to find the Bull Demon King and his wife, but mainly to find Qiao Liang, and only incidentally to find the Bull Demon King.

Upon arriving at the entrance of Jilei Mountain Cave, Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation.

She frowned, did some quick calculations with her fingers, and then figured it out.

After the Black Bear Spirit, Red Boy, who was originally supposed to become his benevolent attendant, also became out of reach.

Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed but said nothing. Fortunately, Qiao Liang had already given up the idea of ​​recruiting more demons.

In that case, let it be.

……

……

at the same time.

Qiao Liang flew towards Huaguo Mountain for an unknown amount of time before finally returning.

That's right, he didn't do anything underhanded, nor did he turn back halfway; he came straight back.

This caused an uproar among the viewers in the live stream. They were completely baffled as to why Qiao Liang had actually returned and was not making any underhanded moves.

Not long after Qiao Liang returned to Huaguo Mountain.

Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang followed closely behind, returning to Huaguo Mountain one after the other.

"Old Joe, something bad has happened. After I finished recruiting the White Bone Demon, I was about to go to the next place when Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly appeared and stopped me. I don't know what to do, so I came back first to discuss it with you."

"My situation is the same. After discussing things with those spider demons in the Spider Cave, they said they needed to think about it, so I prepared to go to other places first. But I didn't expect to be stopped by Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Upon seeing Qiao Liang, Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang also hurriedly spoke.

They dared not be careless in front of Guanyin, after all, she was not only a Bodhisattva in Buddhism, but also one of the most powerful beings in the world. Although she was a Bodhisattva, there were many Buddhas in Buddhism, but none of them could compare to this Bodhisattva.

They all looked at Qiao Liang, wanting him to make the decision.

"Haha, I know about this. Guanyin has also come to me. Since that's the case, let's just forget about it. We don't need to go anymore." Qiao Liang laughed heartily upon hearing this.

Upon hearing this, regardless of the Demon King, Han Paopao was completely stunned.

"Huh? No, Old Qiao, are we just giving up like this? This is our chance to expand Huaguo Mountain!" Han Paopao said anxiously.

“Yes, what else can we do but give up? Since it’s Guanyin Bodhisattva who’s gone out, it’s very likely the Buddhist sect’s intention. It’s not easy for us at Huaguo Mountain to clash with the Buddhist sect right now,” Qiao Liang said with a smile. Han Paopao fell silent upon hearing this.

Although the players are not afraid of death or anything like Buddhism or Heaven, they are currently in a period of stable development, so it is really not easy for Huaguo Mountain to clash with Buddhism.

Even knowing this, Han Paopao was still somewhat unwilling, because in his view this was indeed an opportunity, and if he didn't seize it this time, it would be difficult to seize it next time.

"Don't worry." Qiao Liang could tell what Han Paopao was thinking just by looking at his expression. His smile remained unchanged as he said, "Although we've stopped recruiting monsters, Huaguo Mountain's reputation for recruiting monsters has already spread. Do you know what that means?"

Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang were stunned upon hearing this, and then looked at Qiao Liang.

"It means that even if we don't recruit them, monsters will keep coming to us on their own! That's why I suddenly told you to split up and act separately."

"With the Black Bear Spirit and the Yellow Wind Great Sage confirmed to join Flower Fruit Mountain, we also recruited the White Bone Spirit, the Spider Spirit, and even Princess Iron Fan and Red Boy. Flower Fruit Mountain is different from before; the signal that it is recruiting great demons has already been sent out."

"Guanyin Bodhisattva forbids us from recruiting powerful demons. Fine, but if the powerful demons come to us willingly, then we can't be blamed."

With a smile on his face, Qiao Liang directly explained why he hadn't resisted at all and had given up immediately after Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived.

It turns out that this inspiration came from the Great Sage Yellow Wind. Even the Great Sage Yellow Wind, a monster with a background and knowledge, had previously considered forming an alliance with Flower Fruit Mountain. However, the monsters he sent out were killed by the players, let alone the other monsters.

Unlike in the past, now that Huaguo Mountain has issued a signal to recruit monsters, and with powerful monsters joining Huaguo Mountain one after another, other powerful monsters no longer need Huaguo Mountain to recruit them; they will join on their own initiative.

Ultimately, Qiao Liang underestimated the reputation of Huaguo Mountain, only comparing it to the Huaguo Mountain in the original novel. But can the current Huaguo Mountain be the same as the Huaguo Mountain in the original novel? Of course not.

The current Flower and Fruit Mountain is fully capable of doing this.

Han Paopao and Jiao Mowang were completely stunned when they heard this.

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.

Holy crap, so that's how it is.

[I knew admitting defeat so quickly wasn't like Steve Jobs; so this was what he was waiting for!]

[Good heavens, I was wondering why Steve Jobs wasn't up to any underhanded tactics. Turns out he'd been doing them for a long time!]

[No wonder! No wonder Chief Qiao ordered Emperor Han and the Flood Dragon Demon King to act separately. I didn't understand it at the time, but it turns out he was waiting for this.]

[I have to say, Steve Jobs was absolutely right. Steve Jobs was awesome!!!]

The barrage of comments has already started moving wildly.

Qiao Liang laughed at this, looking at the many monsters of Flower Fruit Mountain, and thinking about the life and death he was about to face, he couldn't help but recite a poem:

"The mist of Aolai, the fragrance of flowers and fruits, the Dinghai staff makes ten thousand demons bow down. Beyond the East Sea, in the Water Curtain Cave, even the Great Sage Equal to Heaven bows down to the immortals."

This is the grand era that Huaguo Mountain is about to usher in, and to be honest, it's not an exaggeration at all.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong and Lin Xiao...

Sun Wukong learned of Qiao Liang's actions through Lin Xiao, and he chuckled to himself, offering no objection.

After leaving Guanyin Temple, they arrived at Gao Village and encountered the pig demon Zhu Wuneng.

Sun Wukong subdued the pig demon and later learned that the pig demon had been instructed by Guanyin Bodhisattva to wait for Tang Sanzang in Gao Village and escort him to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

Tang Sanzang suddenly realized his mistake, and that's why he took the pig demon as his disciple and gave him the nickname "Bajie," also known as Zhu Bajie.

Pigsy was actually a little resentful about becoming Tang Sanzang's disciple. After all, Sun Wukong hadn't become his disciple, so why should he be the monk's disciple?

However, he can't compare to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong was invited by Guanyin, while Zhu Bajie was there to atone for his mistakes.

So even if they felt some resentment, they could only let it go in the end.

After subduing Zhu Bajie.

The westward-bound team also embarked on their westward journey once again.

Qiao Liang didn't concern himself much with the journey to the west. He believed there was nothing for him to worry about there. If something really happened, Sun Wukong would naturally come to Flower Fruit Mountain to find them. If he didn't come, then everything was fine.

So, after returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, he instructed the Flood Dragon Demon King and the others to inform them if any powerful demons came to surrender.

I also told many players in Huaguo Mountain to be more discreet during this period and not to delay the improvement of Huaguo Mountain's strength.

With nothing else to do, he prepared to enter the event dungeon to grind for his arena ranking.

Han Paopao is the same; he wants to clear all the BOSS levels.

Drain the estuary.

Liu Ruyan watched Qiao Liang's live stream and breathed a sigh of relief as she watched him recruit so many powerful demons for Huaguo Mountain.

Honestly.

From the perspective of strength.

Guanjiangkou is not much different from Huaguoshan.

However, Guanjiangkou, or rather Erlang Shen, did not have the same conditions as Sun Wukong to attract all kinds of demons and become a holy land for the demon race.

Although Erlang Shen is powerful, he is ultimately a deity, and no matter how powerful he is, he cannot convince demons.

Although Sun Wukong was born a stone monkey and is not strictly speaking a demon, he is regarded as a demon by the world, which is why Huaguo Mountain has the reputation of being a sacred place for demons.

As Qiao Liang managed Huaguo Mountain, his power grew and the number of powerful demons increased.

It's impossible for Liu Ruyan not to have some ideas; Guanjiangkou couldn't fall behind.

"In short, let's improve our own strength first. After the event is over, we'll think about how to increase the power of Guanjiangkou as well," Liu Ruyan muttered to herself.

With that, she turned off the live stream and entered the event instance.

Like Han Paopao, she had to fight the BOSS level, but just now, she had already cleared the second to last level, and only the last level was left!

Furthermore, her competitive ranking is also very high.

Liu Ruyan took a deep breath, just as she was about to start fighting the final boss.

A shocking piece of news appeared before everyone's eyes.

Whether it was Liu Ruyan, Qiao Liang, Han Paopao, or others, they were all shocked when they saw this message.
