Chapter 518 - The Fated Rival (1/2)

Monkey King waited at the site for the immortals’ appearance. He did not deliberately conceal his breath when he took action just now. The immortals in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm noticed this big movement even though they were more than 50 kilometers away. So before long, someone came over.

“I do not know when you started liking to stare at the sky in a daze. Many times when I see your figure, I can’t bear to get close to you so as not to disturb you. I remember when we first met, you were high-spirited and vigorous. You liked to boast at banquets and you liked to stir up trouble after the banquet. You were very natural and unrestrained. People could not help envying you. But now… Alas, how did you become like this?”

As he sighed heavily, Bull Demon King sat down beside Monkey King. He was tall and burly. He was like a hill when he sat down. Even though Monkey King sat on a sharp stone, his head only reached Bull Demon King’s shoulder.

Bull Demon King looked at Monkey King with a morose face and continued, “Even when you were joking and making fun of others, you still looked desolate. Even when you are surrounded by people, you still look lonely… Alas, it has been more than a hundred years. Have you not recovered yet? Why are you not talking? When you are not talking, I begin to panic.”

Monkey King glanced at him. “What else can I say when you have already said all that I can say?”

Bull Demon King twisted his fat waist and got closer to Monkey King. Then he put his arm around Monkey King’s shoulder and winked to make him laugh. “How about going to Macaque Mountain? Maybe you will be happy after fighting against the Macaque King for three hundred rounds.”

Monkey King glanced at Bull Demon King with disdain. “Only you will be happy about this sort of childish prank.”

Bull Demon King was sad and looked at Monkey King with a bitter expression. His current expression did not match his valiant image.

Then Monkey King got down to business. “The Transfer Formations of the Immortal Court are everywhere. In the past two days, I traveled a lot, wiped out some fierce beasts and destroyed some Transfer Formations. But it is just a drop in the ocean compared to the big picture. If you are not fully prepared, the territory of the demon clan will still suffer.”

Bull Demon King said, “According to our investigation, the fierce beasts controlled by the Immortal Court this time number more than our demons. They are scattered in different directions and there are several hundred spots. What’s more, they appeared suddenly. Although we noticed it in advance, it was too late to make full preparations. The strategy of the Immortal Court is very clear this time. It is to disturb the entire demon clan and even overthrow it!”

Monkey King sneered. “The Immortal Court has been lurking under your noses for several thousand years and has accumulated great power, but you are not aware of it. You do not live up to the title of Great Sages.”

Although what he said was harsh, Bull Demon King could not argue with that. He sighed and said, “It is our fault. But we have fallen for too long, so we are not as good as the Immortal Court, in terms of strength. In addition, demons are careless and sloppy, so we are inferior to the immortals, when it comes to schemes.”

Monkey King did not continue to satirize Bull Demon King because it was useless. He asked, “Do you know who the commander is sent by the Immortal Court this time?”

“The Venerable Beihai, the Venerable Nanmu, the Venerable Dongxuan and the Venerable Xiji. All of them are in the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm,” Bull Demon King replied without thinking, looking confident. Seeing the strange expression in Monkey King’s eyes, he laughed and said, “If we do not know who our opponents are at this point, we would be too incompetent.”

Monkey King averted his gaze and sneered. “Thank you for acknowledging that you are incompetent. From now on, you may engrave that word on your forehead.”

Bull Demon King was a little stunned. “Am I not right?”

Monkey King looked into the distance. “Here he comes. I felt it.”

“He?” Bull Demon King was puzzled at first, then he touched his chin, worry showing in his eyes. “If he comes, it will really be serious.”

Bull Demon King, of course, knew that there was only one person in the entire Immortal Court whom Monkey King would not say his name out loud and placed a lot of importance on him. That person was not the most powerful, but he gave him the biggest problem when it came to their battle with each other.

Monkey King stood up and patted his butt. “Let’s go.”

“Where are we going?”

“Where we should go.”

…

In Maple Island, the Venerable Beihai came to a cave in the back mountain. He bowed with cupped hands outside the door. “Lord, everything is ready. I will leave now.”

A low voice came from the cave. “All of you can go first. I will make a move later.”

“Yes.” The Venerable Beihai bowed in agreement and had no objections, even though the other party did not intend to go with them. It was because he knew that the other party would appear when he was needed.

All the cultivators from the Immortal Court in Maple Island thought that the Venerable Beihai was the commander in the demon clan. It was true before, but after the Lord came to the cave, he only dealt with the affairs outside and had to ask for instructions on important matters.

There were many Daluo Golden Immortals in the Immortal Court and each of them could be called the Venerable, but not everyone could be called the Lord. Every immortal who was called the Lord had contributed a lot to the Immortal Court and was worshipped by ordinary people in the human world. Because of these ordinary people’s offerings, their power never stopped growing.

After the Venerable Beihai left, the back mountain quietened down.

In the cave, there stood an immortal with an imposing appearance. With his hands clasped behind his back, he looked at the magic formation reflected in front of him. It showed the scene where a dark golden torrent of water gushed down from the peak among the mountains.

The cultivator of the Immortal Court who sent back this image was obviously too far away from the peak, so he could not see the situation there clearly and he could only see a flash of light. Even so, the red glowing reflection of the clouds and forests was still very shocking.

The immortal wore a meaningful smile, which was filled with excitement.

His name was Yang Jian.

Some incidents had happened to him before. If he recorded them from his point of view, it should be like this.

Everyone gets irritated sometimes. When I am irritated, I like to open my third eye. Not many people in the world can irritate me, but the monkey is one of them.

That year, he offended the higher-ups and turned the Immortal Court upside down. I was ordered to suppress him.

“Damned monkey, why are you rebelling against the Immortal Court?”

The monkey laughed and said, “It is none of your business.”

“I am Erlang, the Lord Xiansheng. Today, under the Immortal Emperor’s order, I am here to capture you, arrogant Protector of the Horses. You court death!”
