One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 826 The Aged Bull Demon King

Nezha and Prince Zhang were unaware of Hu Xiuwu and Sun Wukong's plans, and they also knew little about the Chosen Ones.

Although the Mandate of Heaven was the most popular prophecy and story five hundred years ago,
However, all the gods have their own plans and cultivation, and when it doesn't involve themselves, few people pay attention to the actions of the chosen ones.

They would only learn about the situation once the chosen ones caused another major disturbance.

Hu Xiuwu did not explain the plan to Nezha and Prince Zhang, but only stated the purpose of his visit: "I have come to confirm that the chosen one has not deviated from the right path."

"Originally, this task was to be done by the guys on Meishan Mountain, but they are currently unavailable, so we had to take over."

"You should secretly test him and see what kind of person he is."

Hu Xiuwu didn't realize that revealing his plan would risk being discovered by the Jade Emperor and the Supreme Lord. Therefore, he became the riddle teller.

However, Hu Xiuwu had altered the plots of Little Western Paradise and Spider Cave, so he didn't know whether the Chosen One had actually grasped Sun Wukong's will.

Did he become a blindly obedient and selfish divine general, or did he understand the suffering of the world and be willing to do what Sun Wukong did to give mortals a chance to breathe?

However, the fact that Zhu Bajie was still willing to follow the man of destiny shows that he recognized that this monkey could inherit Sun Wukong's mantle.

Prince Zhang, who stood quietly to the side, had some guesses.

Since the Chosen One and Sun Wukong's resurrection are not closely related...

That so-called chosen one seems to be just a facade, used to attract the attention of the Heavenly Court and Mount Ling.

In reality, Sun Wukong was accumulating power somewhere, though he didn't know.

Hu Xiuwu then looked towards the shady side of the leeward slope of Flaming Mountain; his eyes could see through the mountain to the other side.
"At the same time, someone asked me to take care of that old ox."

Hu Xiuwu ignited a great war between Mount Ling and the Heavenly Court, drastically altering the course of the world.

He didn't know what stage the Flaming Mountains had reached.

······
The old white ox leaning against the mountain, the enormous bull demon using the Flaming Mountain as a chair, did not display any majestic or imposing aura. It emitted heavy breathing sounds.

Sometimes a dry heave can last for a long time, while other times it gets stuck in the throat and no sound can be made.

His massive body had loose skin, soft muscles, and dry hair, making him look no different from an old ox that had spent its whole life plowing the fields and was about to die.

He is none other than the former Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Mighty Bull Demon King. He has become like this not because his lifespan is coming to an end.

Instead, the Heavenly Court forced the Mighty Bull Demon King to accept Sun Wukong's innate talent, "Body Worry."

The Bull Demon King hid the "Body Worry" in his stomach to resist the boundless evil energy and overwhelming resentment emanating from it.

This caused him to gradually become thinner and on the verge of death.

The physical torment was bearable, but what worried the Bull Demon King the most was his rebellious child.

Five hundred years ago, Guanyin sent Red Boy back to the Flaming Mountain on the grounds that he had achieved the goal of completing his merits.

Then, he was told about his background by an unknown person.

Red Boy was born from Princess Tieshan's drinking of the Zimu River.

He is not the son of the Bull Demon King; he is the posthumous son of the King of the Yaksha Kingdom.

The overwhelming hatred for the destruction and extinction of the Yaksha Kingdom flowed in his blood and was engraved in his dreams.

Red Boy begins to plot revenge for his people, seeking retribution against Mount Ling, which destroyed the Yaksha Kingdom.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to ask the Bull Demon King for the "Body Worry" (身本忧), hoping to use Sun Wukong's inherent abilities to improve his strength and increase his chances of revenge.

The Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan treated the child as their own son and were worried about his safety.

Red Boy was young and arrogant, but the Bull Demon King had experienced the iron fist of the Heavenly Court. Even without the intervention of powerful figures like Erlang Shen or Ziwei Emperor, he was defeated by Nezha.

Sun Wukong died a gruesome death in the Heavenly Court during the Second World War.

Even at his peak, Sun Wukong couldn't overthrow the Heavenly Court. Red Boy still hoped to obtain one-sixth of Sun Wukong's power to conquer Mount Ling and avenge his people.
It's like throwing an egg against a rock, or an ant trying to shake a tree.

Red Boy himself was aware of this, but the exhilarating memories flowing in his blood compelled him to always want to do something.

To prevent Red Boy from committing suicide, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan had no choice but to lock him in the deepest part of the Banana Cave on Mount Cuiyun.

But that child is resilient and strong-willed; he can't be locked up for life.

Princess Iron Fan is not currently at Flaming Mountain; she is pleading for the child, hoping to find a way out for Red Boy.

"However, things have turned around now. Lingshan is too busy to take care of itself, so you can rest assured now."

Just as the Bull Demon King was feeling distressed, he suddenly heard a voice from outsiders that perfectly captured his innermost thoughts.

The old white ox, leaning against the mountain, straightened its body, trying its best to maintain its spirit and not show any weakness, displaying some of the former mighty Bull Demon King's spirit.

"I wonder which friend is joking with me. Please show yourself so I can have someone treat you well."

The Bull Demon King was full of energy, while the old bull, though listless, still possessed great power.

"After five hundred years, even the Bull Demon King has forgotten his old friend."

Hu Xiuwu emerged from the shade of the strange, withered tree.

"It's you!" The Bull Demon King was so shocked that he almost stood up, but he stumbled and fell back down the mountain, causing the earth to rumble.

Upon seeing that it was Hu Xiuwu who had arrived, the Bull Demon King stopped pretending and lay listlessly on the ground, saying weakly:

"You didn't try to escape the Heavenly Court's capture, so why did you come to my Flaming Mountain? You've seen it yourself, there's nothing I can do to help you."

The Bull Demon King had only drunk with Hu Xiuwu a few times through Sun Wukong's introduction, and was not familiar with him. After Sun Wukong's death, he never met him again.

He certainly wouldn't accept Hu Xiuwu easily.

Hu Xiuwu said, "Don't worry, the Heavenly Court can't take care of me right now."

The Bull Demon King said thoughtfully, "No wonder that simple-minded bull is gone."

The "simple-minded bull" mentioned by the Bull Demon King is none other than Jin Dasheng, the strongman with the Hao Axe among the Meishan Brothers.

He was originally ordered by Erlang Shen to infiltrate the Flaming Mountain and await the arrival of the chosen one.

As a result, Hu Xiuwu caused a great uproar, and Erlang Shen summoned all his brothers back.

The Bull Demon King had long guessed Jin Dasheng's origins, but he thought Jin Dasheng was just a simpleton with no bad intentions and was working diligently at the Flaming Mountain, so he didn't expose Jin Dasheng earlier.

Turn a blind eye. With the Meishan brothers around, some troubles might be resolved indirectly through their channels by subtly inquiring about how to solve them.

The Bull Demon King, panting, said, "Since that's the case, what brings you to my Flaming Mountain, True Immortal?"

Hu Xiuwu said, "I only accepted Sun Wukong's request to help you."

"What can you help me with?"

"I'll remove what's in your stomach and restore your foundation while I'm at it."

After saying that, Hu Xiuwu took out a brocade wooden box from his sleeve.

Three pills emitting a golden light were placed in the wooden box.

Taiyi Purple Gold Pill.
