Chapter 706: Chapter 706

In a flash, the Sky Scraping Cave was filled with the cacophony of battle cries, shaking the heavens. Countless little Demon Kings, along with the Great Demon Kings brought by Jiang Ziya, all charged out. For a time, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, the trio, were unable to gain the upper hand. The entire Sky Scraping Cave reverberated with the relentless sounds of battle, shaking the mountains.

This fierce battle raged from dawn to dusk and from nightfall to daybreak, lasting a full five days.

After five days, as the dawn broke and tranquility returned to the high sky.

The Bull Demon King descended from the sky and landed in front of the Sky Scraping Cave, his hair disheveled and his robe stained with blood, clearly indicating the intense peril he had faced in this great battle.

In front of the Sky Scraping Cave, a multitude of little Demon Kings gathered, with the Jade-Faced Princess leading them.

All the little Demon Kings chorused in unison: "The Demon King is mighty!"

"The Demon King is invincible!"

Their voices echoed through the mountains and forests.

The Jade-Faced Princess hurriedly flew forward to support the Bull Demon King and asked, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"

The small demons ceased their cheering, looking at the Bull Demon King with fervent awe. The Demon King had actually managed to repel the three Buddhas in one fell swoop—truly remarkable.

The Bull Demon King walked towards the cave mansion, and upon seeing the wrecked entrance of the Sky Scraping Cave, he sensed a familiar mischievous monkey scent and calmly asked, "Is it Sun Wukong?"

The Jade-faced Fox nodded with tears in her eyes, her voice tinged with grievance, "While Your Majesty was away, that monkey’s head took advantage of your absence and, along with his two brothers, brutally invaded our cave mansion. If not for your loyal followers fighting to their death, this humble one might have been killed by them."

The Bull Demon King nodded silently and said in a deep voice, "I will settle accounts with him later."

Inside the main hall of the Sky Scraping Cave, the Bull Demon King sat on his throne in deep contemplation.

The Jade-faced Fox entered holding a pot of wine, placed it on the table in front of the Bull Demon King, respectfully poured him a cup, and said with concern, "Your Majesty, please drink this cup to nourish your body."

The Bull Demon King lifted the cup and drank in one gulp.

The Jade-faced Fox tenderly sat beside the Bull Demon King, speaking in a soft, worshipful tone, "Your Majesty, you were truly awe-inspiring just now. My heart and spirit were both trembling in admiration for you. You are indeed incredible.

"Your Majesty, did you kill those three bald monks?"

"No, they have some experience in cultivation and though their strength is not up to mine, defeating them wouldn’t be easy. They managed to escape."

The Jade-faced Fox admiringly said, "Next time they come, Your Majesty will surely be able to kill them."

The Bull Demon King glanced subconsciously overhead, his mind somewhat tense. He wondered where Red Boy had hidden himself! Now that I’ve used my true strength, the Upper Pure Immortal Light will surely alert Bai Jin, the senior disciple. I wonder how he will deal with me.

Sigh~ I hope that the next arrival won’t be the Immortals from the Gouchen Emperor Palace. My dear son, you risked your life to seize Tang Sanzang for your father’s sake, and in return, your father has reverted to his true nature—even if it means I may lose my freedom. Are you touched?!

"Your Majesty, now that the Buddhist baldies have been repelled, can Tang Sanzang be brought out?" The Jade-faced Fox looked anticipatively at the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King gathered his thoughts and changed the subject, "Jade Face, I am well aware of Sun Wukong’s capabilities. The little Demon Kings inside this cave alone are no match for him. How did you manage to fend him off?"

The Jade-faced Fox chuckled, "This success is thanks to some assistance. Sect Leader Jiang, Wuqi Demon King, Shadow Demon King, Hidden Mountain Demon King, please come in!"

Outside the cave, Jiang Ziya walked in with the three Demon Kings, politely bowing and saying, "I, Jiang Ziya (Wuqi Demon King, Shadow Demon King, Hidden Mountain Demon King), pay my respects to Pingtian Demon God."

For the Demon Kings of the Northern Continent, the so-called alliance of Seven Great Saints was a joke; only Great Demons of Quasi-Saint Level could be deemed Demon Saints.

Previously, even the Bull Demon King wasn’t taken seriously by them, but in this battle, the Bull Demon King fought against three Daluo, proving his strength. Even in the Northern Continent, his power was that of a supreme Demon God, and naturally, they treated him with respect.

The Bull Demon King suddenly stood up; he had already sensed a strange presence in the corner of the Sky Scraping Cave, concealed by a Magic Treasure. He had not forcefully dispelled the Magic Treasure, waiting for them to come out, but to his surprise, it was him.

Jiang Ziya stood up with a smile, "Great King, didn’t expect it was me, did you?"

The Bull Demon King spoke gravely, "Indeed, I didn’t expect it to be you. Jiang Ziya, you come seeking me out, are you not afraid of death?" There was a hint of anger and murderous intent in his eyes.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Great King, the past is gone. There was no choice when the great tide came before, but now, I only wish to be friends with the Great King." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The Bull Demon King stared at Jiang Ziya, who responded with a smile. The atmosphere in the great hall became tense for a moment, and the three Demon Kings also became alert.

Suddenly, the Bull Demon King burst into hearty laughter, "Jiang Ziya, are you kidding? Posing as Shen Gongbao, wanting to be friends with me?"

Jiang Ziya was startled. He hadn’t noticed before, but now reminded by the Bull Demon King, damn, am I not exactly like the Shen Gongbao from the Divine Enthronement era?

Constantly recruiting allies to block those fated, and then, unsurprisingly, all of those allies ended up dead. The only difference was that the allies I recruited were all killed by my hand, but they all ended up dead anyway! The outcome was unchanged.

The Bull Demon King asked, "Jiang Ziya, have you come to seek cooperation with me?"

Jiang Ziya regained his composure and quickly said, "Great King is as perceptive as ever, seeing through my intentions at a glance. I indeed came to assist the Great King."

The Jade-faced Fox said proudly, "Of course. The Great King has roamed the Northern Continent for countless years, how could your little schemes escape the Great King’s eyes."

"So, here’s to a pleasant cooperation," Jiang Ziya said with a smile, looking at the Bull Demon King who sat in the main seat.

The Bull Demon King pondered for a moment before speaking, "Jiang Ziya, as a Second Generation Disciple of the Chan Sect, you surely possess extraordinary abilities. But I dare not accept you; as far as I know, all the Demon Kings who have worked with you are dead, and I do not wish to die in confusion."

"Your words are mistaken, Great King. Such a fact only proves my strength – only the strong can endure through countless tribulations without perishing."

"Strong? Haha~ do you think you are worthy to speak such words before me?"

The Wuqi Demon King burst out indignantly, "Bull Demon King, although your strength is great, we are not weaklings."

The Bull Demon King’s gaze intensified, and a heavy Daluo Pressure rose from within him. Instantly, the hall felt as if it was encased in ice, as if an invisible Divine Mountain had thunderously descended.

The Wuqi Demon King, Shadow Demon King, and Hidden Mountain Demon King clenched their teeth tightly, bending slowly under the strain, their demonic power completely suppressed within their bodies, plunging into a deathly silence.

Jiang Ziya unfolded the Yellow Flag in his hand and shouted, "Bull Demon King, please show restraint!"

With the dissipation of the aura emitted by the Bull Demon King, the oppressive, deadly silence vanished, and Heaven and Earth came back to life.

The Wuqi Demon King, Shadow Demon King, and Hidden Mountain Demon King suddenly rose to their feet, staggering backwards, creating large pits in the cave floor, gasping for air.

All three Demon Kings looked at the Bull Demon King in shock – so strong~! They had seen Demon Gods before, but had never seen one so powerful in all their lives.
