Chapter Seventy-Two: The Great Sage Encounters Danger

"Why did you betray me? Am I not even as good as a human you've spent less than a day with?" Hu Lijing asked, looking at the wolf beside her.

"Master, the situation at the time was very special. You saw how powerful Jiang Heihei was. If I hadn't endured the humiliation and agreed to their terms, and then told you about this matter, we wouldn't have won such a great victory!" Wolf said with a fawning expression.

"A resounding victory? You feel we've won a resounding victory this time?" Hu Lijin asked, looking at Lang Xing.

"Yes, I don't know if the other creatures won a great victory, but you, Master, truly won a great victory!"

"Did I obtain Chuanyun Mountain? Or did I kill Jiang Heihei? Why am I the only one who has achieved a great victory?" Hu Lijin looked at Lang Xing with a hint of anger in her eyes, feeling that Lang Xing was mocking her.

"Master, let's not pretend we don't know! Everyone knows what's going on. What we need to think about now is how to hold the Minotaur King's funeral and how to get the resources from him! Otherwise..." Wolf didn't finish his sentence. If Hu Lijin still didn't understand, then she was truly a fool.

"Yes, yes, we need to get back to Jilei Mountain right now! Otherwise, we'll be in big trouble!" Hu Lijin suddenly remembered something and hurriedly ran towards Jilei Mountain.

"Phew... I'm finally out of danger. Hu Lijin, please don't let me down!"

"What? Your father has been killed by the mountain lord of Chuanyun Mountain. How are we, a widow and her children, supposed to survive? My life is more bitter than bitter herbs!" When she heard her daughter say that her husband had been killed in Chuanyun Mountain, Hu Lijin's mother felt as if the sky had collapsed. She was completely lost and could only wail.

“Mother, now is not the time to cry. We need to think of a way to save our lives and how to protect Jilei Mountain!” Hu Lijing advised.

"Yes, now that your father is dead, those spirits will definitely come looking for trouble and try to take advantage of us. And that old hag in your father's house won't let us off the hook either!" Hu Lijin's mother said in a panic.

“Yes! So now we need to figure out how to get through this!” Hu Lijin said.

"How are we going to get through this? We have no connections and no support. Can the two of us, mother and son, withstand those wolves?" Hu Lijin's mother said worriedly.

“Let’s set up the mourning hall for Father first, so that those spirits won’t find an excuse to mourn him!” Hu Lijin said.

Hu Lijin and her son began setting up a mourning hall for the bull-headed creature...

"Jiang Heihei?" Third Brother looked at the human being opposite him with a smile on his face. He knew exactly who Jiang Heihei was.

"Ahem, Third Brother, we meet again!" Ru Huan said with a laugh.

“Jiang Hei, hahaha…” Third Brother couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

"Is it that funny?" Ru Huan glanced at her third brother and took a sip of tea.

"To be honest, I haven't seen Jiang Heihei for a while. Did you kill him and then impersonate him?" Third Brother asked with a smile.

"Third Brother, you're wronging me. When I left, that mother of Pohoulong and that hunter were still fighting. I knocked Jiang Heihei unconscious, but he didn't die. Maybe Pohoulong's mother or that hunter picked him up and took him home without me even knowing!" Ru Huan said.

"That's possible too. Sigh... I really envy you capable people. No wonder you didn't want to join our Criminal Investigation Division. So you wanted to be the mountain lord!" Third Brother said with great envy.

"I don't like being tied down, I like being free, but I'm new here and don't have a place to stay, so I have to find one myself!" Ru Huan said.

"Wow! If I had your skills, I wouldn't be a lousy constable anymore. I'd just open up a mountain and become its lord, wouldn't that be wonderful?" Third Brother said.

"You two vixens of Jilei Mountain, give me back my husband right now, or I'll make you regret it!" A stunningly beautiful woman holding a banana leaf fan shouted outside the gate of Jilei Mountain.

"Oh no! The old hag from Banana Cave on Cuiyun Mountain is here! And she's so fast!" Hu Lijin's mother exclaimed.

"Don't be afraid, I'll go out and meet her first!" After Hu Lijin finished speaking, she came to the front of the mountain gate, opened the gate, and saw a very beautiful and gorgeous woman standing in front of her with a fierce aura.

"Where is your vixen mother? She has the guts to steal my husband, but she's too ashamed to come see me?" the woman said aggressively.

"Who are you? Why are you making such a scene at my family's gate?" Hu Lijing asked, looking at the woman.

"Heh, so you're still trying to pull this on me now? Give me back my husband's body. After I bury him, I'll settle the score with you properly!"

"Who's your husband? Are you sick? If you're sick, go home and take your medicine!" Hu Lijin said, preparing to close the mountain gate.

"Heh! Looks like I'm not tough enough to be bullied!" After saying this, the woman opened her mouth and took out a very small fan shaped like a banana leaf, sneering at herself repeatedly.

“What do you want to do? If you do this again, I’ll report you to the Criminal Investigation Department and accuse you of trespassing!” Hu Lijin said.

"Trespassing? This whole mountain was bought for you by my husband; it's our joint property. And now you're telling me it's trespassing?" The woman said with a mocking laugh.

"You came from Cui Yunshan?" Hu Lijing looked the woman over again.

"What do you think? Humph!" The woman snorted coldly.

“Okay, Auntie, you’ve come at the right time. We have something to discuss with you!” Hu Lijin said.

"Hey, hey, hey... Stop! Who's your aunt? Don't try to claim kinship with me. I don't have a niece like you!" the woman said.

“Fine! Even if you don’t acknowledge me as your niece, you wouldn’t want the resources my father left behind to be taken away by those covetous creatures, would you?” Hu Lijin asked.

"Heh! Who dares to covet my things? You think I'm a pushover? Besides, those creatures who want to touch me should think twice about their strength. My son has a formal position in the Heavenly Court! Unlike you bastards who don't even know whose offspring you are, daring to bark at me like dogs!"

"Can't you speak properly?" Hu Lijin's anger rose as she realized she couldn't communicate with this woman!

"Talk to you nicely? You're not qualified! You'd better go inside now, bring out my husband, and tell me who killed him. The rest of you can pack your things and get out of here! Don't make me come and kick you out later! By then, it won't be as easy to talk to as it is today!" the woman said forcefully.

Hu Lijin watched helplessly as the minotaur's corpse was taken away by his wife. Now she could only settle for second best and figure out how to make Jilei Mountain her own. Otherwise, she would really be homeless. Perhaps this was retribution. The pangolin that wanted to climb through the clouds was homeless, and now she was the same.

"Who's Jiang Heihei! Come out here and face your death!" A child holding a fire-tipped spear and wearing a red bib arrived at the gate of Chuanyun Mountain, exuding a murderous aura.

"Whose little kid is making noise in front of my house? Get out of here right now, or I'll spank you!"

"So you're Jiang Heihei?" the child asked, his eyes blazing with fire as he looked down at the creature below.

"No, I'm staying at this hotel. You're yelling here first thing in the morning. Don't you have any sense of public decency? Where are your parents? Didn't they teach you..." Before the creature could finish its rambling, it suddenly saw the child in the sky spew out a burst of flames.

"You talk too much!" the child said resentfully, looking at the pile of ashes below.

"Jiang Hei, come out here and face your death! Otherwise, I'll burn down your Chuanyun Mountain!" This man exuded a strong aura of ferocity!

"Master, what do we do now? Don't underestimate this doll; the power behind it is immense!" the old pangolin said with a worried expression. He thought his master would only teach these pioneers and the brokerage boss a lesson, but he never expected his master to kill so many at once! Now these enemies have come knocking, and his Cloud Piercing Mountain and everyone on it are doomed!

"What's there to be afraid of? He's just a little kid. We'll teach him a lesson!" Ru Huan said nonchalantly. She knew who was coming and how much power this child had, but she wasn't afraid at all.

"Just a little kid?" The old pangolin was stunned. How could its master be so careless? This little kid had a formal position and held an important post!

"Yeah, it's just a little kid!" Ru Huan said nonchalantly, then disappeared from the spot!

"Are you looking for me?" The child was staring intently at the mountain gate when suddenly a voice rang out from behind him!

The Fire-Tipped Spear whistled as it thrust towards Ru Huan, who suddenly appeared from behind!

Ru Huan caught the Fire-Tipped Spear between two fingers in one go!

The child grinned maliciously, twisted the hand holding the fire-tipped spear, and the tip of the spear suddenly bloomed like a flower, spewing out a burst of flames that shot towards Ru Huan's face!

The child thought he could burn his father's killer to ashes, but found that his flames did nothing to harm the human!

The child wanted to pull back his fire-tipped spear and prepare to fight again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't pull his weapon away.

"You're the child of the Minotaur? I killed your father. With your current strength, you can't possibly avenge him. You should leave!" Ru Huan said, looking at the child.

"How do you know I can't get revenge if I don't even fight?" the child said stubbornly.

"Alright! I'll let you go, let's continue!" Ru Huan released the two fingers that were gripping the Fire-Tipped Spear.

"Give me your life!" the child roared, his body spewing forth countless flames as he swung his fire-tipped spear at Ru Huan.

"Your fire is stronger than even my spirit slave's flames. You should leave!" After Ru Huan finished speaking, she gently waved her hand, and the raging flames were extinguished instantly.

No matter how the child tried, not a single spark was left!

The child looked at Ru Huan with fear, then put away the fire-tipped spear and ran away as fast as he could...

Cui Yunshan,

Banana Cave

"Child, are you alright? I told you not to act impulsively, and that we could discuss this further after your uncles arrived, but you wouldn't listen. Luckily, nothing happened to you, otherwise, how would I survive alone?" the woman cried, looking at her child.

"It's alright. I fought her for three hundred rounds, and we were evenly matched. In the end, I spared her life because I was thinking of my mother. After I bury my father, I will avenge him!" the child said.

"Uncles, my father was murdered by the fox spirit from Jilei Mountain and the villains from Chuanyun Mountain. My father's body is not yet cold. I would like to ask you uncles to go to Chuanyun Mountain with me to kill the villain and take his head to appease my father's spirit in heaven!" The child knelt in front of a group of living beings and cried out.

“When did such a person appear in Chuanyun Mountain? I remember there’s a group of pangolins living in Chuanyun Mountain. They’re incredibly resilient! Their strength is quite considerable, otherwise they would have been swallowed up by those pioneers and brokerage bosses long ago!” said a roc.

"Who cares about armor? Let's go flatten Chuanyun Mountain first, then we'll talk about that!" said a dragon with a spirit crown.

“Yes! Let’s kill all those scum inside! Then build our leader’s grave on top of it, and bury all those scum’s corpses under our leader’s grave, making them our leader’s servants, so they can never rise again!” said another lion.

While everyone was discussing how to attack Chuanyun Mountain, a different atmosphere prevailed on the other side.

"You heartless bastard! If your older brother hadn't died and such a big thing hadn't happened, would you have stayed holed up in Flower Fruit Mountain and never come out again? You wouldn't even want to see me, would you?"

"Hehe, what are you saying, sister-in-law! I'm busy all day long too. Not only do I have to manage Huaguo Mountain, but I also have to go to work and socialize with my boss every day. I wish I could split myself in two and leave one half with you!"

"If my old ox were as ambitious as you, he wouldn't have ended up like this. Sigh... how will we, a widow and her orphan, survive in the future!"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I'm here for you. Don't worry, my nephew and I are in the same department. I plan to transfer him to my side. In a few years, when I get promoted, he will sit in my current position!"

"You're the one who's good to us, mother and son. Unlike your older brother, who ignores us all day and is always out there flirting with other women. If it weren't for you, I don't know how I would have survived!"

"Sigh... I know you've been wronged, sister-in-law. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you from now on."

"Hmph! You're just a hypocrite, a bastard who turns his back on you after you've done your bidding. I've been thinking about you day and night, hoping you'll come and visit me and chat with me. You don't know, Lao Niu isn't here, and the kids are at work, leaving me all alone at home, feeling incredibly miserable. I'm having such a hard time!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be like this. After this matter is over, I'll take you to my Flower Fruit Mountain to relax."

"You heartless bastard, you'd better keep your word!"

"I would never dare to deceive my sister-in-law!"

"You're always so glib, what good stuff did you bring me this time?"

"I brought it, but I don't know if my sister-in-law will like it!"

"Hmph! At least you have some conscience; you've been feeling really tired these past few days!"

"I'll give my sister-in-law a massage and she'll be fine."

"Mmm... Ahh... So good,"

"Hehe, my sister-in-law's figure hasn't changed at all, she's still so good!"

"Hmph! Then why don't you hurry up and come over here?"

"What? That shrew from Cuiyun Mountain has found Old Niu's old gang? What are we going to do?! We're really doomed now, Jing'er, let's prepare to escape!" Hu Lijing's mother felt like the sky was falling.

"Why run away? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. If all else fails, we'll ask Grandpa for help!" Hu Lijin said calmly.

“You don’t know your father’s brothers. They’re all troublemakers, especially that monkey from the Water Curtain Cave on Flower Fruit Mountain! He used to be a gangster! He even fought with the regular army of Heaven, and none of them could beat him! Rumor has it that he’s having an affair with that shrew. If they come to bully us, even if we add your grandfather and the others, I don’t think we’ll be enough to kill him!” Hu Lijin’s mother said.

"If it were you, would you ask us for Jilei Mountain first, or go to Chuanyun Mountain to avenge your father?" Hu Lijin asked her mother.

"They're definitely taking these troublemakers to Chuanyun Mountain for revenge!"

"That's it! Jiang Heihei from Chuanyun Mountain is no simple character either. Once they've fought to the death, do you think they'll still come here?" Hu Lijing asked.

“But…” Hu Lijing’s mother said with concern.

"There are no 'buts'. What we need to do now is decide which side to take. Are we going to cooperate with the old lady from Cuiyun Mountain to kill Chuanyun Mountain, or are we going to team up with Jiang Heihei from Chuanyun Mountain to deal with that group of troublemakers from Cuiyun Mountain?" Hu Lijin said.

"That shrew from Cuiyun Mountain will definitely not tolerate us, but can that human from Chuanyun Mountain, what's his name, Jiang Heihei, stop that group of troublemakers from Cuiyun Mountain? If he can't, won't we suffer along with him?"

“Even if we don’t join forces with Jiang Heihei of Chuanyun Mountain, that shrew from Cuiyun Mountain might not let us off the hook!” Hu Lijin said.

"So what do we do now?"

"Let's wait and see what happens at Cuiyun Mountain before making any further plans!"

Chuanyun Mountain

A dark cloud suddenly covered the entire sky above Chuanyun Mountain!

"Jiang Heihei, come out and face your death!" The child, riding the clouds, once again arrived at the gate of Chuanyun Mountain to challenge them. This time, he was full of confidence, as several of his father's brothers had come to help him. This time, he had to kill this Jiang Heihei!

"Hey! You ran away like a madman last time, but you've brought helpers back today?" Ru Huan teased the child.

"Enough talk! Prepare to die!" The child swung his fire-tipped spear at Ru Huan!

Ru Huan grabbed the child's fire-tipped spear and pulled him over, spear and all. The child tried to run away, but Ru Huan grabbed him, pressed him against her lap, and started beating him.

"You ran away, and you even dared to come back! You deserve a beating!" Ru Huan gave the child's bottom a series of slaps, making the child scream in pain!

"Hey! You bastard! Stop your bullying! Release my nephew right now!" A lion's voice roared, and a claw emerged from the dark clouds above Chuanyun Mountain, reaching out to grab Ruhuan!

"Hehe, a lion? Master, we're having braised lion's head meatballs tonight!" A sprightly old man appeared, picked up a fire-tipped spear, and stabbed it at the lion's paw that emerged from the dark clouds!

"You're courting death!" A roar erupted from within the dark clouds, and the lion's paw suddenly grew larger, swatting at the old man like it was swatting a mosquito!

"Who's courting death is still uncertain!" The old man chuckled, his fire-tipped spear remaining in the same direction as he thrust it towards the sky-covering claws!

Just as the claw was about to crush the ignorant old man to death, the old man gave a mysterious smile!

The old man gently turned the back of the fire-tipped spear, and a burst of flames shot towards the sky-covering claw!

"Aww..."

A painful howl came from within the dark clouds! The sky-covering claws also retreated into the dark clouds, no longer daring to extend out!

"Who else?" The old man, carrying a fire-tipped spear, roared into the dark clouds!

The creatures inside the dark clouds were speechless. They had thought this trip to Chuanyun Mountain would be a smooth one, but it turned out to be a tough one!

Our people went there and immediately sent equipment to the other side, and it was the kind of equipment that was impossible to deal with, the kind that our group couldn't handle. How were we supposed to play? If it weren't for the fact that the person sending the equipment was our nephew, and that he was here to avenge his father's death, would this cheap nephew have teamed up with the other side to scam our group of brothers?

"How the hell are we supposed to fight this?" The group of creatures inside the dark clouds felt extremely aggrieved as they watched the old man below, who was excitedly carrying a fire-tipped spear and standing arrogantly on the mountaintop looking at them.

"Stop hitting me! My bottom is all swollen! Stop hitting me!" The child felt a burning pain in his bottom. He didn't know how many slaps he had received. His parents had never hit him more times in the past than he had ever received before. He wanted to take back his fire-tipped spear, but the spear had completely lost its connection to him, as if it no longer belonged to him. The child was even more terrified!

"At such a young age, you're already doing nothing but fighting and killing all day long. What kind of revenge are you trying to take? You already owe me two lives. I'll let you go this time, but if you dare to come back again, I'll kill you!" Ru Huan said to the child with a sinister look on her face.

"Give me back my fire-tipped spear!" The child, clutching his bottom, limped a few steps, then turned around and looked at Ruhuan with red eyes, saying this.

"Hmph! You still want the Fire-Tipped Spear? Keep it with me for now, and I'll return it to you when you defeat me!" Ru Huan said.

The child, feeling extremely frustrated and on the verge of tears, returned to the dark cloud. The dark cloud then suddenly veered off in one direction, as if afraid that the person behind it would catch up.

"What? You even lost your weapons! Your mother and I... cough cough, I mean, your mother and I were just discussing how to handle this when you rushed over and ended up losing your weapons."

"Oh dear, what are we going to do now? My child is without a weapon. How am I going to explain this to my superiors? Please think of something!" The child's mother said, shaking her arm while holding a monkey.

"This is easy. You wait here for a moment, I'll be right back!" After saying this, the monkey rode away from Emerald Cloud Mountain on his somersault cloud and headed straight for Cloud Piercing Mountain!

"They're here!" Ru Huan suddenly said, looking up at the sky.

A white cloud drifted rapidly towards Cloud Piercing Mountain! A monkey stood on it! The monkey held a stick in its hand!

"Great Sage!" Ru Huan called out as she looked at the monkey.

"Heh heh, so you're Jiang Heihei? You killed my elder brother and stole my nephew's Fire-Tipped Spear. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!" After saying that, the monkey swung the stick in his hand and smashed it down!

"Great Sage, please calm down! There are some things I don't know whether I should say or not!" Ru Huan said, raising her jade pendant to stop the monkey's Ruyi Jingu Bang.

"Speak up if you have something to say or not! I want to see what you can say!" the monkey asked, pressing Ruhuan down with his stick.

"Back then, the Great Sage swore an oath of brotherhood with his seven sworn brothers, calling each other brothers and having a great time. The seven brothers traveled around the mountains and rivers, wandering east and west, enjoying themselves immensely!"

"That's right. Back then, I had just returned from learning my skills and was making friends everywhere. We ate meat and drank wine to our hearts' content. Those were very comfortable days. But what does that have to do with you?" the monkey asked, puzzled.

"Yes, you brothers are very close, but when you later caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, did they help you? When you were imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, did they come to see you?" Ru Huan asked.

"This..." The monkey fell into deep thought.

"You treat them as brothers, but what do they treat you as? Even when you wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, they were afraid of getting into trouble and didn't help you. When you were imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, shouldn't they have gone to see you? But which of the six of them came to see you? When you were imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain, and your monkey followers went to your former brothers for help, do you know how those brothers treated your monkey followers?" Ru Huan's words were deafening, and the monkey's stick lost its strength.

"What's more, who among them understands the hardships you endured afterward, the eighty-one tribulations you went through? They even mocked you from time to time, calling you the dog and plaything of those powerful and wealthy people."

You didn't even care about these things, and you even used your connections to get your older brother's child into a regular government job. Did they ever thank you? Did they know your good intentions?

"Stop talking! I know. When I was trapped under the Five Elements Mountain, I already experienced the coldness of human relationships and the fickleness of the world. My former brothers were not even as good as a cowherd!" The monkey's eyes were red.

"Then what are you doing here? Standing up for them? You're sincere to them, but what about them?"

"You little brat, how dare you disturb my Dao heart! Take this!" The monkey, enraged, swung his stick and smashed it. Ru Huan, holding her jade pendant, fought the monkey, battling from the sky to the ground, and then from the ground back to the sky!

"Hahaha... So you're this strong? Well then, I won't hold back anymore, take this!" The monkey laughed loudly as he looked at Ru Huan, and the strength in his hand suddenly increased countless times!

Ru Huan smiled and continued her battle with the monkey!

"Change"!

The monkey let out a shout, plucked a tuft of hair from its body, and blew it at Ru Huan!

Thousands upon thousands of identical monkeys swung their sticks at her! Ru Huan was completely unafraid. With a flick of her wrist, the chisel in her hand transformed into countless chisels, which then hurled at the monkeys!

Seeing that its clone technique was no match for the human, the monkey withdrew its supernatural power and transformed into a mountain-sized tiger, pouncing towards Ru Huan!

Ru Huan swung a spiked club as thick as a mountain at the head of a tiger, and the tiger stretched out its giant claws to grab at Ru Huan!

Ru Huan's spiked club transformed into a steel knife, which she slashed at the tiger's belly!

Seeing that the tiger was uncontrollable, the monkey immediately transformed into a roc and swooped down towards Ruhuan! Ruhuan drew her bow and aimed an arrow at the roc...

The monkeys were incredibly versatile, and Ru Huan countered each move with equal skill; the two were now locked in a fierce and evenly matched battle…

"roar……",

The monkey immediately unleashed its Dharma Body, transforming into a towering giant! It raised its foot, preparing to flatten the entire Cloud Piercing Mountain with a single stomp!

Ru Huan didn't back down at all, and she herself became even larger than the monkey's Dharma body, grabbing the monkey by the neck and pressing it to the ground, rubbing it hard...

Chuanyun Mountain

Inside the Cloud Piercing Cave,

"Come on, come on, drink up... I haven't felt this good in so long!" The monkey said, holding up a cup to Ruhuan.

"Great Sage, you have a great capacity for alcohol! Then I'll risk my life to keep you company!" Ru Huan smiled and finished speaking, then drank the wine in her cup in one gulp!

"Good! That's great!" the monkey shouted, and downed his drink in one gulp!

"Hey Jiang, it's a pity you're a girl, otherwise I would have become sworn brothers with you!" the monkey said.

"It's good that you have this intention, Great Sage. In the future, if you need me, just ask. If I can help, I will definitely do my best to help you!" Ru Huan said.

"Okay! If you have any difficulties, tell me, and I'll do my best to help you!" the monkey said sincerely.

"It's a deal!"

It's a deal!

"It's getting dark, I'll come back tomorrow and fight you three hundred rounds again!" The monkey shouted to Ruhuan from his somersault cloud in the sky.

"Hmph! I'm ready anytime!" Ru Huan snorted coldly.

"Master's move was truly brilliant!" The old pangolin looked at Ruhuan and admired her from the bottom of his heart.

"What's so amazing about it? If I weren't so strong, would this monkey even give me a second glance? It might just kill me with a single blow!" Ru Huan said.

"Now we have another powerful backer in Chuanyun Mountain. Let's see who dares to mess with us in the future!" The old pangolin rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"We can't be sure of this monkey's attitude yet, let's wait until tomorrow!" Ru Huan said.

"So? Did you kill that human from Chuanyun Mountain?" A group of creatures asked the monkey.

"No, we fought to a draw, and since it was getting dark, I came back. I'll fight again tomorrow!" the monkey said.

"Thank you for your hard work! Come, come, we've just prepared a feast, let's have a couple of drinks first, and then the six of us brothers have something to discuss!" Da Peng said.

"What's going on? What's going on?" The monkey was completely confused.

"Let's eat first, then we'll talk," the lion said.

"Where are my sister-in-law and nephew?" The monkey returned to find neither of his sister-in-law nor his nephew.

"Oh, they've gone to keep vigil for our elder brother. They're so sad they can't eat. We'll eat and then go comfort them!" said the dragon with the spirit crown.

"Alright!" The monkey and his buddies sat down at the table and began toasting each other. The group of buddies kept offering the monkey drinks, and the monkey accepted them all. The banquet lasted until late at night...

The monkey, who was already completely drunk, felt very uncomfortable while sleeping. When he tried to turn over, he found that he had been tied up tightly!

The monkey groggily opened its eyes, then sleepily saw several blurry shadows in front of it. Immediately afterward, a bucket of cold water was poured over its head.

"Hehe, you're awake!" Dapeng said with a smile, holding a bucket of water in his hand.

"What do you mean by this?" The monkey struggled a few times but couldn't break free. He looked coldly at his five brothers surrounding him and asked.

"It's nothing. Didn't I just say that we brothers have something important to discuss? But we were afraid you wouldn't agree, so we had no choice but to resort to this. I hope you don't mind!" said the dragon with the spirit crown.

"What is it that requires me to be tied up for discussion?" the monkey asked.

"Look, now that our eldest brother is gone, all that's left is our sister-in-law, a widow and her children, living a very miserable life. Our brother left behind so much stuff, and we were worried that our sister-in-law wouldn't be able to keep it all by herself. So, we brothers discussed dividing what our brother left behind among ourselves."

"Let's keep these things for my sister-in-law for now, and return them to our nephew when he's grown up and able to do so. What do you think of this idea?" the lion asked the monkey.

"You guys just want to divide up the inheritance left by our eldest brother, right? I agree to that too. Let me go, and we'll talk things over," the monkey said with a smile, as if he were willing to do so as well.

“But we brothers don’t trust you, so what should I do?” another creature said coldly, looking at the monkey.

"Then how can you make me believe you?" the monkey asked.

"Our request is very simple: we'll trust you if you pledge your loyalty!"

"Why don't you all pledge your allegiance? Why am I the only one doing so?" the monkey asked coldly.

"Because we're all birds of a feather, sharing the same stench. But you're different. You're in a high position now, and you have real power. You look down on what our elder brother left us; it's not even a drop in the ocean compared to what you have yourself. That's why we're afraid."

"Fight! Right now, none of the five of us are a match for you. So we'll just have to ask you to pledge your allegiance first. We'll record it with a memory stone, so that we can have leverage over you and our safety will be guaranteed!" said the dragon with the spirit crown.

"Hmm, a good plan! I understand why you're doing this, it's understandable. But how do you plan to get me to show my loyalty?" the monkey asked.

"Bring them up!" the lion commanded his companions, who then brought out two people who were bound like himself.

"What do you mean by this?" the monkey asked, seeing his sister-in-law and nephew tied up.

"You choose one, then kill it, and we'll record it using a memory stone!"

"Fine! You want to let me go?"

"We can't let you go yet! If we let you go all at once, none of us brothers would be a match for you. So we need you to stab yourself in the chest first, and once you've bled enough, we'll let you go!"

"Aren't you going too far? Are you that afraid of me? We're brothers! You should trust me," the monkey said indignantly, looking at his sister-in-law and nephew who were filled with fear.

"Hehe, I know we're brothers, but you're really too much of a worry for us, so we have to subdue you first. Sorry, brother!"

After the dragon with the spirit crown finished speaking, a purplish-black demonic blade appeared in its hand. It then came to the monkey, slowly squatted down, raised the demonic blade high, and stabbed it into the monkey's chest...

"Little sister, are you there? Hurry to Cuiyun Mountain and save me!" Someone was pleading for help beside Ru Huan!

"Great Sage? How could it be you? What's wrong with you?" Ru Huan asked, looking at the listless monkey in front of her.

"Little sister, I've been framed by those beasts on Cuiyun Mountain, and I'm in grave danger! Hurry and come save me!" the monkey said.

"Okay, hang in there! I'm coming right away!" After saying that, Ru Huan disappeared in an instant. A streak of light shot up from Chuanyun Mountain, entered the clouds, and then plummeted straight down towards Cuiyun Mountain!

"What...what exactly do you want to do..." the monkey said weakly, its whole body emitting wisps of green smoke, indicating it was severely poisoned.

"Hehe, since you're going to die anyway, I might as well tell you. We have two plans. The first plan is that we kill you, then kill your sister-in-law and nephew, and then spread the word that you forced your sister-in-law and nephew to give you all the property left by your elder brother. When they refused to comply, you used force to defile and kill your sister-in-law, and then you also killed your nephew."

By the time we arrived, you had already killed my sister-in-law and nephew. In order to avenge my sister-in-law and nephew, we fought you to the death. Finally, in a Pyrrhic victory, we were both badly injured and you died!

"What about the second plan?"

"Hehe, you should be more accepting of the second plan. We say that Jiang Heihei from Chuanyun Mountain launched a surprise attack on Cuiyun Mountain at night, killing your sister-in-law and nephew. You were furious and went to Chuanyun Mountain alone, but you were not strong enough and were killed by Jiang Heihei. Our abilities are not as good as yours, so we don't dare to take revenge. We can only notify your unit and your subordinates to seek revenge on Jiang Heihei from Chuanyun Mountain!"

"Hmm, I think your second plan is actually acceptable," the monkey said with a wry smile.

"Since you feel it's okay, then let's go with the second plan! You can go with peace of mind, and we'll take good care of your Flower Fruit Mountain, hahaha..." Dapeng said with a smug laugh.

"I will not agree to your second plan!" a voice suddenly rang out.

"Why"?

"Because you are framing Chuanyun Mountain!"
