Chat group: Among all the heavens, I am the Bull Demon King!

Chapter 34 Brothers Reunite, Sun Wukong's Grievance!

It's lamentable that the wicked monkey disobeyed orders, arrogantly displaying his heroism in his youth. He deceived and disrupted the Peach Banquet, boldly trespassing into the Tushita Palace. Unrivaled among ten thousand soldiers, he reigned supreme in the Nine Heavens. Now, trapped by the Buddha, when will he be able to reclaim his glory and display his power again?

When Niu Jun arrived at the place where Sun Wukong was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, he couldn't help but think of a poem that Guanyin Bodhisattva recited when she saw Sun Wukong again.

Looking back, the seven sages swore brotherhood, traversing countless mountains and rivers, with all demons bowing their heads in submission—how spirited and triumphant they were!

Nowadays, some are injured, some have fled, and some are dead; they have lost all their former glory.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...

Niu Jun found it hard to connect the emaciated creature before him, with its hair as withered and yellow as wild grass, with the Monkey King who had wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace three hundred years ago.

At this moment, Sun Wukong's entire body was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, with only his head sticking out. He was thin and withered, not at all fierce, and looked as if he was about to be petrified.

His body was covered in dirt and stones, and his hair was long and dry, like tangled weeds, obscuring his head.

More than three hundred years have passed, and he has been suppressed ever since, never seeing the light of day. His disheveled hair has lost its luster, and his body is thin and bony, unlike the image of an unparalleled powerhouse that one might imagine.

At this moment, under the blessing of the Buddha's six-syllable mantra, the entire Five Elements Mountain was filled with supreme Buddhist light and laws, firmly locking the monkey here and making it difficult for him to break free.

Tatata!
Niu Jun landed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain and walked step by step toward the monkey.

The monkey head seemed to be truly dead, remaining motionless throughout, its head drooping, utterly silent.

On the contrary, the Five Elements Mountain seemed to sense something, but before it could warn the mountain god, a golden Buddhist light descended, plunging it into silence once more, making it completely still.

However, after comprehending the Buddha's six-character mantra, Niu Jun was able to simulate the power of the Buddha's Dao fruit within the Buddha's seal, slightly influencing the Buddha's seal on the Five Elements Mountain.

"Seventh Brother, wake up!"

Niu Jun came to Sun Wukong's side, first cleaning the dirt and weeds from his fur, then patting his monkey head, and with a low shout, used his powers to wake him up.

Sun Wukong certainly did not die.

At this moment, he was merely using a secret technique to lock away his vital energy and spirit, preventing it from leaking out, in order to resist the suppression of the Buddha's great power in the Five Elements Mountain and to resist the scouring of the Buddha's light from the Six-Syllable Mantra.

Although there is still some consumption, the loss is minimized, so as to preserve one's own spirit and energy as much as possible and avoid being eroded by the Buddha's light!

Now we hear Niu Jun calling out.

Sun Wukong was immediately awakened from his slumber.

Beneath that wild, unruly hair, a pair of golden pupils shone brightly, like two great suns, with raging flames leaping within them, as if they wanted to burn the world to ashes.

However, the golden light in those eyes quickly dissipated, returning to its normal appearance.

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that although the raging golden flames in Sun Wukong's eyes have dissipated, a pure gold color still remains deep in his pupils.

"Who are you, and why do you call me Old Sun the Seventh?"

Sun Wukong awoke from his hibernation and looked at the person in front of him with some surprise and uncertainty.

He had used his Fiery Eyes to the fullest extent, but he still couldn't see through the identity of the person in front of him. He could only vaguely guess that the person in front of him was definitely not the real Mahagater.

"Could it be that one of the brothers has come to rescue me, old Sun?"

Sun Wukong was incredibly clever. Even though he didn't know who the person who had transformed into Maha Jieti was, he could guess a little from Niu Jun's title and couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"You little monkey, you really are clever and quick-witted."

Niu Jun smiled and praised him, then changed the subject and sighed, "However, you've guessed wrong. Although I, Old Niu, am willing to help you get out, I am powerless to do so."

While talking.

Niu Jun immediately transformed into his previous form. Without waiting for Sun Wukong to speak, he continued, "You monkey, you wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace three hundred years ago. You were quite powerful, but you didn't know what trouble and danger you brought to us."

Sun Wukong was already disappointed when he heard Niu Jun say that there was no way to save him.

Now, hearing Niu Jun's slightly accusatory words, he was even more displeased and said with great dissatisfaction, "Brother, did you come here to question me, Old Sun?"

"I, Old Sun, take full responsibility for my actions. The havoc in the Heavenly Palace was all my doing, and I will bear all the consequences alone. What business is it of yours, brothers?"

“If you’re afraid, brother, you might as well sever ties and disown me, your brother. Why bother coming here to mock me?”

Thinking that he had been suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain for more than three hundred years, and none of his sworn brothers had come to rescue or visit him, Sun Wukong was already dissatisfied with Niu Jun and the others.

Hearing these words of accusation now, he felt extremely wronged and dissatisfied, realizing that he had truly misjudged the demon and should not have formed a sworn brotherhood with Niu Jun and the others.

"ridicule?"

Hearing Sun Wukong's dissatisfied words, Niu Jun was speechless and couldn't help but shake his head, saying, "You monkey, you really don't know what's good for you. Do you know why I, Niu Jun, risked coming to Five Elements Mountain today, and why none of my other brothers have come to visit you?"

"Why?"

Sun Wukong asked with a frown.

He had actually thought about this question.

He even doubted that he had seen the demon wrong, and thought that his sworn brothers were all heartless, ungrateful and cowardly.

Niu Jun snorted coldly and said indifferently, "That's because we've been implicated by you and are already struggling to protect ourselves, so how could we possibly visit or rescue you?"

“Three hundred years ago, after you caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, we were hunted down by the Heavenly Court.”

"The second brother, the Flood Dragon King, was chased by the Four Dragon Kings and their men, and had to flee to the Boundless Sea. His whereabouts are still unknown."

"The third brother, Peng Demon King, was chased by the Four Heavenly Kings and his men and was seriously injured. If he had not been rescued by an ancient demon god from Beiju Luzhou, he would probably have been sent to the Heavenly Court's execution platform long ago."

"And your elder brother, me, was even pursued by Tianpeng and Jiuyaoxing. I fled all the way from Beiju Luzhou to Xiniu Hezhou. If it weren't for your sister-in-law's rescue, I would probably have been killed long ago."

Even so, it still took two hundred years to recover from the injury.

"As for the fourth, fifth, and sixth brothers, they are being hunted down by the Heavenly Court, and there is still no news of them; their fate is unknown."

Niu Jun spoke calmly, recounting the entire situation of his predecessor and the others.

Should Sun Wukong bear all the consequences of his actions?

How can this be.

Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace caused the Heavenly Court to lose face in the Three Realms. If the Heavenly Court did not react at all, how could it rule over all living beings in the Three Realms?
However, Sun Wukong had extremely powerful backing and was involved in the Journey to the West plans of major forces such as Buddhism, Taoism, and the Heavenly Court. Therefore, even if the Heavenly Court was dissatisfied with Sun Wukong, it could not take action against him or use him as a scapegoat.

So the other six demons who swore brotherhood with Sun Wukong were unlucky. One by one, they all became targets for the Heavenly Court to establish its authority, chickens to kill to scare the monkeys.

In the original story, the Bull Demon King was able to survive because he married Princess Iron Fan, thus gaining a powerful backer.

Otherwise, he would have had no chance of escaping with his life.

This is also why the Bull Demon King was afraid of his wife and dared not show any displeasure to Princess Iron Fan.

Otherwise, given the Bull Demon King's nature, it would be strange if he could be so deeply in love with Princess Iron Fan and remain devoted to her.

After Niu Jun finished speaking, he looked at Sun Wukong, who was filled with shock and disbelief, and asked calmly, "Do you still think that we brothers are cowards who are afraid of death and are heartless and ungrateful?"
