Great Demon Sun Wukong

However, the Underworld God Army weren't fools either; luring them into these deadly lands was equally challenging. Yet considering these places as havens to escape to was feasible. The Dragon Emperor continued, "In that case, it becomes impossible to mobilize the forces under my command, so I need to confirm a second matter. Regarding this battle, what role do you think we play?"

The question posed by the Dragon Emperor was somewhat puzzling, yet Sun Wukong immediately understood and furrowed his brows thoughtfully. "You should be considered native ferocious beasts of the Patrolling Celestial World, aiding us, which could be seen as a cooperative relationship," Wukong responded with a slight nod of the head. The Dragon Emperor nodded slightly and said, "Then I have a doubt, can we completely trust everyone on your side? While I can trust you for our respective reasons, I can't be sure about the others!"

Indeed, the Dragon Emperor had pointed out a severe issue. Sun Wukong had always considered the Dragon Emperor and his kin as allies, and it was indeed the case. Moreover, it was now apparent that the Spirit Controller had long been laying plans for them to become helpers on their side. More precisely, the Spirit Controller would make them aides to the enemies of the Underworld God Army.

But to them, was their own side truly trustworthy? After all, these ferocious beasts were treasures all over, especially when cultivated to their level. Take the Dragon Emperor, for instance; every single Dragon Scale of his was top-level material for crafting defensive Magic Treasures. Without exaggeration, Ye Zi, the Dragon Emperor, along with the five individuals from Hidden Mountain, were like five immense mountains of gold to the Cultivators - incomprehensibly vast mountains indeed,

In such a scenario, no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be individuals attempting foul play during the battle. Although this would invite enmity from others, if they managed to flee successfully and return to their original world, the wealth would be unimaginable. In the Cultivation World, the principle that people die for wealth and birds die for food is executed to the fullest extent. Murder for treasure is almost a daily affair, let alone when facing the treasure trove that is the bodies of these five top-level ferocious beasts. Even Sun Wukong's Jingu Bang was snatched, wasn't it?

The Dragon Emperor's words allowed Wu Ming and the others to breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, this was a question they had wanted to ask all along but didn't know how to broach. After all, no one likes being watched like a treasure all the time. Wukong's brows were deeply furrowed; he knew that if this issue raised by the Dragon Emperor wasn't resolved, even if these five individuals followed him, they inevitably wouldn't give their all during the battle. With divided hearts, there would assuredly be problems.

"If you trust me, I can swear by my life that anyone who dares covet you will face immediate and appropriate punishment from me, and if necessary, I will not hesitate to kill them. Among the Allied Forces, although my Combat Power is not the strongest, such an act would undoubtedly be unacceptable to everyone. Moreover, as long as I prepare in advance, any unexpected situation can be dealt with promptly!" Sun Wukong declared with firm certainty.

But the Dragon Emperor shook his head, "Your proposal may be feasible, but human hearts are unpredictable. As long as it's not guaranteed that no one harbors covetous thoughts, our situation is not safe. I don't want to die at the hands of my own people at the last moment after a desperate battle to victory! Besides, this would cause discord within your ranks, so rather than that, it's better for us to act independently."

"Act independently? You mean, just the five of you? But with only five people, if you encounter an enemy siege, then..." The Dragon Emperor shook his head again and said, "It's not just the five of us; it also includes you, that bearded monk, and Ming Tiekuang. That is, all of us present here will form an independent team to inflict the greatest damage on the enemy while ensuring our own safety as much as possible!"

The Dragon Emperor's words also piqued the interest of the others, who eagerly urged him to continue. At this moment, the Dragon Emperor exuded an immensely strong will to fight and a confident strategizing air. Now, the Dragon Emperor, truly embodied the nobility of the Dragon Race. "As far as I know, your greatest enemy is the Underworld God Army. As long as the Underworld God Army is crippled, the rest, I believe, can be smoothly dealt with by the rest of you!"

Sun Wukong nodded, indeed that was the case. Without the Underworld God Army, the combined forces of Myriad Demons Country, Ancient Primordial World, and Annihilation Demon Nation amounted to just over fifty. Their side had twice as many people, if they still couldn't win, then these powerhouses would all just be frauds. "Since that's the case, let's focus specifically on causing trouble for the Underworld God Army. We are only eight in number, making us a small target, and thus very convenient to move around. Also, because we don't belong to your side, the Underworld God Army would never expect an active squad like ours in a location where all of your Combat Power is concentrated. So, my plan is to find the lair of the Underworld God Army and set a fire in their backyard."

"The plan sounds good, but how do we find it? The Patrolling Celestial World is so vast, and we can't mobilize subordinates. Isn't it like looking for a needle in a haystack with just us?" Ye Zi asked, to which no one replied; instead, they all gave him a contemptuous look. Sun Wukong was the first to speak, "I have inherited the legacy of the little monkey and can control all his ferocious beast subordinates!"

Then Ming Tiekuang said, "I can sense the presence of the Underworld God Army, especially Qian Yuye!"

The Dragon Emperor also glanced at him and said, "We can also capture a member of the Underworld God Army and force the whereabouts of their lair out of them!"

Ye Zi was left speechless, and Sun Wukong waved his hand, "In that case, it's decided. Ming Tiekuang, lead the way now; let's strike directly at the heart."

At that moment, Hidden Mountain, however, suddenly spoke up, "I still want to bring Blood Mist Mountain with us!" (To be continued.
