Chapter 633: Chapter 633: Six Freaks of Plum Mountain

"Do you remember that you’ve already agreed to have a major battle with my subordinate Yuan Hong?" Qin Jun said with a smile.

"Of course, I remember. When will he show up?" Sun Wukong nodded and said, eager already.

From the tone of Qin Jun’s voice, it seemed as though he was certain the arm-stretching monkey would defeat him, which made Sun Wukong very unwilling to accept.

There were arm-stretching monkeys on the Flower and Fruit Mountain too, but they were of little use, so he looked down on the arm-stretching monkeys among the four great spiritual monkeys, and in his bones flowed the belief that he was the strongest of all monkeys under heaven.

"I wish to invite the lords from the domains around the Southernmost Sea to witness the battle. By then, your fight will be known in all domains, and the name of Supreme Heaven Great Sage will officially spread in this world!"

Qin Jun squinted and chuckled, "Of course, it’ll also help me intimidate the other domain lords along the way."

Sun Wukong frowned. Qin Jun’s frankness about his ambition did endear him somewhat, but such arrangements might delay the battle, and he was getting impatient.

"Great Sage, actually, you’re already my friend and brother, so stop being so stiff!" Qin Jun said as he threw his arm around Sun Wukong’s neck and chuckled, causing Sun Wukong’s face to look unnatural.

He was somewhat unable to tolerate Qin Jun’s shamelessness.

Qin Jun dared to do this because Sun Wukong’s loyalty had already surpassed sixty points.

Otherwise, even with ten times the courage, Qin Jun wouldn’t dare to embrace this lord.

Although Sun Wukong is a childhood hero of the Huaxia people, if you look at the original text, he is truly violent and quick to kill. Once he decided that someone was evil, he would act, and a demon is ultimately a demon.

"Who’s your brother, hmph!" Sun Wukong snorted coldly, and the next second, he appeared on the opposite side of the table.

Pretending!

A little demon that says one thing but means another.

Qin Jun chuckled inwardly, then feigned seriousness as he said, "I still hope that you won’t fight too rashly. After all, you come from the same roots, so why be too anxious to harm each other?"

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and then nodded.

Afterwards, they chatted idly for a few more sentences before Qin Jun left to cultivate.

Dao Spirit Dan was indeed very useful. Qin Jun planned to exchange for more and use the pills to break through to the True Immortal Realm.

He still had over twenty billion in fame points to squander at will.

He had barely taken a few steps when a system notification sounded:

"Ding! Yuan Hong will soon return from the God and Demon instance!"

Qin Jun’s eyes widened. Yuan Hong was returning?

Frightened, he quickly flew toward the mountain behind the Saint Emperor Palace. If he released Yuan Hong here, the two monkeys might start fighting each other for sure.

A single mountain cannot house two monkeys.

Cough cough, no problem!

As he flew, he asked the system to bring up Yuan Hong’s attribute list:

"Yuan Hong, from Investiture of the Gods."

"Race: Arm-stretching Monkey!"

"Cultivation level: Late stage Mysterious Immortal of the Grand Unity!"

"Cultivation method: Nine Revolutions Body Refining!"

"Magic treasure: Fine Iron Rod!"

"Divine Power: Eight-Nine Profound Art! Indestructible body!"

"Loyalty: 100 (Full Value 100)!"

Late stage of Mysterious Immortal of the Grand Unity, he had reached the peak state of Yang Jian.

Qin Jun felt he could be stronger. Once he came out, he would give him an opportunity to reach the pinnacle of God and Demon.

Upon reaching the mountain peak, Yuan Hong’s figure was revealed, clad in iron armor, carrying a Fine Iron Rod on his shoulder, his white monkey fur fluttering, and a look of pride faintly discernible on his resolute face.

Not only Yuan Hong, but also six figures with powerful auras appeared, followed by countless demons.

They swarmed in dense masses, occupying the airspace above the mountain peak.

Qin Jun felt joy in his heart—could it be that Yuan Hong had brought all the demons of Plum Mountain with him?

The six demons standing behind Yuan Hong must be the six demons of Plum Mountain, their true forms being those of a pig, a cow, a dog, a sheep, a snake, and a centipede. They met their end at the hands of Yang Jian, which incited Yuan Hong’s anger. Yuan Hong and Yang Jian, both having reached the level of fleshly sainthood and both capable of seventy-two transformations, fought fiercely until the sage Nvwa intervened, capturing Yuan Hong with the Map of Mountains and Rivers.

In the end, Yuan Hong died by the hand of Daoist Lu Ya’s Immortal-slaying Flying Knife.

Thus, Yuan Hong’s death was justified—at least a saint had taken action, and so he died an honorable death.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects!"

Yuan Hong knelt and said in a deep voice, filled with excitement, while the six demons of Plum Mountain quickly followed suit, also kneeling and sizing up Qin Jun. Seeing this, the demons of Plum Mountain also knelt in midair, paying homage to Qin Jun.

"My beloved general, rise quickly." Qin Jun personally helped Yuan Hong to his feet.

Before the establishment of the Great Qin Heavenly Court, Yuan Hong had assisted Qin Jun, slaying innumerable enemies, an invaluable contribution; even when later ones surpassed him, Qin Jun always treated him well.

"Thanks to Your Majesty’s great favor, I have achieved the realm of Mysterious Immortal!" Yuan Hong calmed his emotions before continuing, introducing the subordinates behind him: "These are my six worthy brothers, all of whom possess the cultivation of Golden Immortals, and there are tens of thousands of demon soldiers. Even the least among them has reached the Transforming Void Realm!"

Six Golden Immortals and tens of thousands of Transforming Void Realm demon soldiers.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow when he heard it, no wonder Li Jing had said Yuan Hong would bring him a surprise—it truly was surprising.

"I hereby name you the Plum Mountain Demon Army, and from now on, under the lead of Yuan Hong, you shall fight for me to conquer the world!" Qin Jun patted Yuan Hong’s shoulder and said with a smile to the six demons of Plum Mountain.

Before their arrival, Yuan Hong often spoke of Qin Jun, extolling him to the skies. Even when they saw that Qin Jun only had the cultivation of the Immortal Realm, they did not put on airs. Instead, they thanked him with gratitude.

"Now, find a nearby island to temporarily reside on, and Yuan Hong, stay behind," Qin Jun said with a wave of his hand and a smile.

It was the first time the six demons of Plum Mountain had pledged allegiance; Qin Jun could not immediately arrange official positions for them. He had to observe their subsequent performance.

The six Golden Immortals, worth nurturing.

But right now, Qin Jun was most concerned about Yuan Hong!

The six demons of Plum Mountain nodded, understanding there were words to be exchanged between their master and servant, and immediately led the Plum Mountain Demon Army away.

Just as Qin Jun was about to speak, Yuan Hong’s gaze suddenly sharpened and he quickly pulled out his Fine Iron Rod, startling Qin Jun into looking back instinctively, nearly jumping in fright. There was Sun Wukong, appearing behind him, staring intently at Yuan Hong.

When Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong met, it was like a spark meeting gunpowder!

Even in a past life, many said that Sun Wukong was the reincarnation of Yuan Hong, and since Investiture of the Gods came out later than Journey to the West, some believe that Yuan Hong’s original form was actually modeled after Sun Wukong.

No matter what, the two monkeys bear a striking resemblance to each other, with nearly identical magical abilities and divine powers, differing only in temperament.

Yuan Hong was a born general, formerly a great commander under the Shang Dynasty, while Sun Wukong was the unruly and daring Supreme Heaven Great Sage who dared to cause Havoc in Heaven.

Caught between them, Qin Jun began to breathe more rapidly, for the aura they emitted grew stronger and stronger.

"What are you doing!"

Qin Jun shouted sternly, stepping in front of Yuan Hong as he spoke.

Currently, Yuan Hong truly was no match for Sun Wukong, but with Yuan Hong’s character, he would definitely not shy away from battle.

"So you are Yuan Hong?" Sun Wukong’s gaze burned as he looked at Yuan Hong and asked provocatively.

"And who are you?" Yuan Hong asked gravely, his heart tossing like stormy seas; this demon monkey was stronger than him!

He couldn’t even see through Sun Wukong’s cultivation.

The gap between the late stage of Mysterious Immortal and the early stage of Golden Immortal Realm looks like only two minor realms, but in reality, the difference is vast.

"I am none other than the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, Sun Wukong!" Sun Wukong declared proudly, causing Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch.
