Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 623 - 581 - Flower Fruit Mountain_2
When he opened his eyes again and saw that Sun Wukong was still standing there, he finally shouted at the top of his voice, "It's the king, the king has returned, the king has returned!" The little monkey's shout was like a bowl of cold water splashed into boiling oil, instantly sending Flower Fruit Mountain into an uproar. Countless members of the Monkey Tribe and a variety of other demons rushed out from their caves, sprinting towards the summit of Flower Fruit Mountain.
After a long, long time, when Flower Fruit Mountain had finally quieted down, there were five people standing in front of Sun Wukong. Behind these five people, the Demon Clan, large and small, had arranged themselves in orderly rows according to their strength. What surprised Sun Wukong was that the Monkey Tribe was clearly separated into a different camp from the Demon Clan. Looking at the faces before him, some familiar and some strange, Sun Wukong was filled with emotion. He had planned to speak some bold and vigorous words, but when the words reached his lips, what he said was, "I, have returned, how are you all?"
As soon as Sun Wukong uttered these words, he couldn't help but shed tears. All the demons and members of the Monkey Tribe immediately fell to their knees and said in unison, "Welcome back, Great Sage Equalling Heaven!" Sun Wukong was startled by this, and then the five people in the lead all stood up, while no one behind them in the Demon Clan stirred. "How about that? Surprised ya, huh? Haha, we brothers knew for sure that you would come back, so we prepared this grand reception. It's just a pity that among the Demon Clan, there are few who are strong now!"
The person who spoke looked like a scholar, but his eyes were incredibly sharp. "Second brother, you really did give me a fright, but what surprises me even more is this person beside you."
The five people who had just stood up were originally some of the Seven Saints of the Demon Clan: the Peng Demon King, the Flood Dragon Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Corner Rong King. Of course, these were only four, and the additional person turned out to be the Erlang Monarch, Yang Jian. The one who surprised Sun Wukong was this very Yang Jian.

"Sun Wukong, I truly did not expect you to come back. As you can see, I'm now one of the Demon Clan, and as for why, I think you can probably guess," Erlang God said. As soon as he finished speaking, the Flood Dragon Demon King stepped forward, went over to Sun Wukong, and whispered with his arm around Wukong's shoulders, "Monkey, I'll tell you, this Erlang God is absolutely reliable; you don't need to worry. From now on, treat him as your own brother." After saying this, the Flood Dragon Demon King suddenly straightened up and solemnly introduced to Sun Wukong, "Great King, allow me to formally introduce a fierce new warrior of our Demon Clan, named the Three-eyed King, Erlang God!"
As soon as the Flood Dragon Demon King finished speaking, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter. Three-eyed King, Three-eyed King, hahaha.
Immediately, Erlang God became furious and said, "You little loach, you'll regret this!" As soon as he finished speaking, Erlang God was already charging with his Three-Pointed Double-Edged Sword. The Flood Dragon Demon King was actually no match for Erlang God, so he didn't even bother to fight and simply dodged behind Sun Wukong. Seeing the Flood Demon King using Sun Wukong as a shield, Yang Jian couldn't continue his fit of anger and merely snorted, sheathing his weapon. It was clear to Sun Wukong that neither the Flood Dragon Demon King nor Yang Jian were seriously fighting; it seems they often engaged in such frolics.
After exchanging pleasantries again, Sun Wukong gestured with his hand and said, "Second brother, ask these demons to step back for a moment, I have something to say to you guys." At this point, from among the crowd of monkeys on the other side, a white-furred monkey stepped forward, bowed to Sun Wukong, and then spoke in an aged voice, "Great King, what about us?" At this moment, however, Sun Wukong sighed and said to the old monkey, "I'm really not worthy to be the king. Originally, because I found the Water Curtain Cave as a place for our people to live in, everyone called me the Beautiful Monkey King and recognized me as their king. But not only have I failed to protect you all, I have brought trouble to you time and again. To be honest, I really don't have the face to come back and see you all!"
Originally, Sun Wukong was very excited and happy about finally returning to Flower Fruit Mountain, but just a moment ago, he suddenly thought of many things. If it weren't for him, Flower Fruit Mountain might still be an untouched paradise in the Mortal World. Yet because of him, Flower Fruit Mountain had been battle-scarred multiple times and was nearly annihilated. But how long had he actually spent on Flower Fruit Mountain?
Soon after he was born, he left Flower Fruit Mountain to go to the Western Continent in search of the path to immortality, and this trip lasted for several years. When he came back, he found that the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits had been occupied by the Demon King, and the Monkey Tribe was in dire straits. After driving out the Demon King, it wasn't long before Taibai Jinxing summoned him to the Heavenly Palace to serve as the Horse Warden. Little did he know, a day in heavens is like a year on earth. Although Sun Wukong only served as the Horse Warden in Heaven for half a month, more than a decade had passed on Flower Fruit Mountain. Afterward? He declared himself the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, angering the Jade Emperor and wielding his Jingu Bang in a rampage through the Heavenly Palace.
Although he vented the rage in his heart, he ended up being tricked by Tathagata Buddha and was pressed under Five-Finger Mountain for five hundred full years. Five hundred years later, he regained his freedom, but he did not have the chance to glance at Flower Fruit Mountain before embarking with his master on the journey to the Western Paradise to obtain the sutras, a journey that spanned fourteen years.
Once he arrived at the Western Paradise, he was honored as the Fighting Buddha; he had thought that he could finally return to Flower Fruit Mountain to accompany his monkey kin. Yet, what he thought would be his freedom once again became his shackles. The Fighting Buddha was a Buddha who could only practice in the Western Paradise Sacred Mountain. So, after becoming a Buddha, Sun Wukong never returned to Flower Fruit Mountain. Then came Sun Wukong leading the Demon Clan to counterattack Heaven, making Flower Fruit Mountain the holy land of demons everywhere. All members of the Monkey Tribe were revered by the Demon Clan.
