Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start.

Chapter 458 The Plot Behind the Scenes, The True Dragon's Remains!

The strongman had never seen Sun Wukong like this before and was immediately startled. He stammered, "Sir, you have a few sworn brothers on Flower Fruit Mountain, right? They have violated the Heavenly Laws, and His Majesty is furious and preparing to send troops to suppress them!"

"Breaking the laws of heaven? How could this be!"

Sun Wukong stared at the strongman with a suspicious look. He knew his sworn brothers very well. They were well-versed in the art of self-preservation and knew that the Three Realms were vast and the waters were deep. They would never do anything they could avoid doing, so how could they have violated the Heavenly Laws?

The strongman shrugged. "If you don't believe me, you can ask Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King. He's the commander-in-chief of this expedition. He wouldn't lie to you, would he?"

An unfathomable glint flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes as he suddenly asked, "I've never told anyone about Flower Fruit Mountain. How do you know?"

The steward opened his mouth wide, then pointed in the direction of the Lingxiao Palace, "It was Lord Taibai Jinxing who told me to tell the steward."

Sun Wukong nodded thoughtfully, but instead of going directly to Taibai Jinxing or Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, he waved his hand, signaling the strongman to step back first.

After the strongman left, Sun Wukong suddenly rushed into the house. This whole thing was too strange, as if it had been planned for a long time.

The demon kings of Flower Fruit Mountain have committed heinous crimes. As their sworn brother, he is not immune to blame. Once the matter is exposed, he will surely be stripped of his immortal status, banished to the mortal realm, and condemned to eternal damnation.

Given his temperament, it was impossible for him to surrender and wait for death. Therefore, in the end, there was only one outcome: he would rebel against the Heavenly Court, descend to the mortal realm as a demon, and fight against the Heavenly Court together with his sworn brothers on Flower Fruit Mountain!

From this perspective, the purpose of the force behind him seems to be to force him to rebel against the Heavenly Court.

But if they wanted to force him to rebel against Heaven, why did they try to recruit him and make him an official in Heaven before? This is what Sun Wukong couldn't understand the most.

"I don't want to think about it anymore. I'd better go down to the mortal realm and see how Flower Fruit Mountain is doing!"

Sun Wukong plucked a hair from his body, blew on it gently, and a golden light flashed on the hair, instantly creating an identical Sun Wukong in the room.

Its aura is exactly the same as that of Sun Wukong; even if Taibai Jinxing were here, he probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

While Sun Wukong, whose hairs had transformed, sat on the bed meditating and cultivating, Sun Wukong, with a thought, transformed into a golden stream of light and silently slipped down to the mortal realm.

With his current flawless and perfect Golden Immortal peak Dao Fruit, let alone a Taiyi Golden Immortal, even an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal would absolutely not be able to detect him if they were not careful.

Cultivators who attain the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm generally do not stay in the Heavenly Court, but instead establish their own Daoist temples to live in. This is why Sun Wukong left the Peach Garden so quietly that no one noticed.

After leaving the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong no longer suppressed his speed. He left afterimages in mid-air, covering thousands of miles in an instant, and soon flew above Flower Fruit Mountain.

At this moment, dark clouds covered Huaguo Mountain, banners fluttered, and little demons came and went all over the mountain, carrying weapons and hurrying around, giving people a feeling that dark clouds were pressing down on the city and that it was about to be destroyed.

Sun Wukong landed on Flower Fruit Mountain, cast an invisibility spell on himself, and headed straight for the Water Curtain Cave.

At this moment, on the Water Curtain Cave, the seven great demon kings, including the Bull Demon King, gathered together. The Flood Dragon Demon King lay on the bed with a pale face, his face devoid of any color, his eyes slightly closed. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that half of the Flood Dragon horn on his head was missing.

The Bull Demon King slammed his fist on the stone table, his eyes blazing with barely suppressed rage. "What did my third brother do to deserve this? He's been framed like this! What are we going to do now?!"

A cold glint flashed in Peng Demon King's eyes. "What's done is done. We've already offended the Heavenly Court anyway. At worst, we'll just go to war with them. We'll meet force with force, and there's nothing to be afraid of!"

"But this was clearly a deliberate frame-up. Why should we bear the responsibility? Do you really think we can stand against the Heavenly Court with just a few of us?"

Upon hearing this, the demon kings fell silent, and the atmosphere around them became heavy, making it hard to breathe.

"Brothers, I've only been here a few days, what exactly happened?"

Sun Wukong's voice suddenly broke the oppressive atmosphere. Everyone subconsciously looked over and saw a golden light shoot into the Water Curtain Cave, transforming into the appearance of Sun Wukong.

"Brother, what brings you back!"

Everyone quickly stood up, their faces filled with surprise.

"If I don't come back soon, our Flower Fruit Mountain might be razed to the ground!"

Sun Wukong pushed through the crowd and walked to the Flood Dragon King's side. When he saw the Flood Dragon King's broken horn, his face suddenly turned grim and ferocious. "Who did this?"

The Flood Dragon King was a dragon who attained enlightenment. A dragon only has one horn, and all its life's essence is condensed in it. When the horn broke, tens of thousands of years of hard work were destroyed in an instant, and it was difficult to restore it.

The Flood Dragon King opened his eyes, glanced weakly at Sun Wukong, and then gently closed them again.

The Bull Demon King approached and said in a deep voice, "I don't know who did this, but I do know it's a setup!"

Then, the Bull Demon King told Sun Wukong the whole story. It turned out that not long ago, the Flood Dragon Demon King received news that a true dragon's remains had been born in a mortal kingdom in the Eastern Continent, 50,000 miles away from Flower Fruit Mountain.

For a true dragon, it represents a suppression at the bloodline level. Even if it is just the remains of a true dragon, it is of great benefit to the Jiao Demon King. In addition, since the Jiao Demon King has already cultivated to the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, he wants to use the remains of the true dragon to try to break through to the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

So he set off alone to find the remains of the true dragon, but after that, the Bull Demon King and the others never received any news from the Flood Dragon Demon King again.

When news of the Flood Dragon Demon King came again, it was a wanted notice from the Heavenly Court. The notice stated that the Flood Dragon Demon King had slaughtered all living beings in the mortal kingdom in order to cultivate, which had offended the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court wanted to arrest him immediately, behead him on the Demon-Slaying Platform, and announce it to the Three Realms.

Shortly after the wanted notice was issued, the Flood Dragon Demon King returned to Flower Fruit Mountain, but he was already seriously injured. When asked what had happened, he couldn't remember anything.

Sun Wukong's face darkened. "Millions of people, and the person behind this is really willing to go to any lengths to frame Brother Jiao."

Sun Wukong told the Bull Demon King and the others to go out first, as he wanted to ask the Flood Dragon Demon King some more questions. After everyone left, Sun Wukong looked at the Flood Dragon Demon King with his eyes slightly closed, but did not go forward to disturb him. Instead, his eyes gleamed with golden light!

With his Golden Eyes of Truth, he could shatter all illusions in the world and reach the very essence of things. He wanted to see what exactly had caused the Flood Dragon Demon King to do all this.

The golden light grew increasingly intense, quickly turning Sun Wukong's eyes gold. His gaze fell upon the Flood Dragon Demon King, as if traversing endless time and space, returning to the time when the Flood Dragon Demon King had gone to the human tribe.
