Chapter 61: The Battle of Accumulated Thunder Mountain (6)

  Half a month has passed, and the tranquil Accumulated Thunder Mountain is filled with a thick bloody aura. The ground is littered with abandoned remnants of soldiers and demon troops' corpses. Some unenlightened crows and vultures make unpleasant cries as they flit about among the demon troops' corpses.

  Ling Shan's encirclement of Ji Lei Mountain is still ongoing, and the momentum is getting bigger and bigger. Ling Shan, this behemoth inherited from the Western Sect of the Hong Huang era, has revealed its sharp claws for the first time in front of the Three Realms.

  Innumerable arhats and bhikkhus poured out of Spirit Mountain, forming a massive army that surrounded the four sides of Mount Accumulated Thunder, turning it into an almost impassable land.

  The sky above Mount Ji Lei was filled with golden clouds, and from time to time, Buddhist ritual objects such as Zen sticks and Buddhist beads were trailed by long golden light tails, like shooting stars bringing a sharp whistling sound heavily hitting the protective shield of the mountain's law power, producing a huge rumbling sound. After briefly breaking the tranquility of Mount Ji Lei, it quickly returned to its original state.

  The once thriving Julai Mountain was shrouded in an aura of despair, weighing heavily on the hearts of all the demon and Buddhist armies like a massive boulder.

  The surroundings of Mount Accumulated Thunder still had small demon kings who, with their families and troops in tow, hastily joined the army under the command of the Bull Demon King. As a result, after such a long and intense battle, the strength of the Mount Accumulated Thunder side did not weaken but instead grew stronger and stronger.

  Lei Hao and Shi Tu Wang's injuries also healed, restoring their combat strength, after Niu Mo Wang had almost exhausted all the heavenly treasures in his household.

  In the great hall of Julai Mountain, brothers were discussing matters.

  "Big brother, all the demons from Xīnìu's Hézhōu who can come to Jī Léi Mountain have already arrived. If we continue fighting, we won't have any more demon troops to reinforce..." said Péng Mó Wáng with a worried expression, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated.

  The Ox King on the throne nodded expressionlessly, ignoring Pengmo Wang's words and looking at Leihao instead. "How is Seventh Brother's injury?" The concern in his tone was palpable to anyone who listened.

  Lei Hao, who was sitting in the back, nodded and said: "Thanks for your trouble, Labor Big Brother. My injuries have already healed."

  As soon as Leihao's voice fell, the Lion Camel King roughly said: "The seventh brother's skills are really nothing to say, with my old lion's Golden Immortal Realm peak strength being injured by that Pu Xian child, and yet the seventh brother managed to escape with his life under Pu Xian's hands with only Mid-Heavenly Immortal Realm strength. I, the old lion, can't help but admit defeat." Even though he had just recovered from severe injuries, the Lion Camel King was still bold, still arrogant, and still full of energy.

  Lei Hao heard this and couldn't help but smile wryly. The Lion Camel King was indeed like that, even his praise could be sarcastic.

  The Bull Demon King on the throne also laughed and said, "As for Seventh Brother's strength, it goes without saying. At that time, I said that his strength was almost equal to mine, but you and Third Brother didn't believe me, thinking that old Ox was just bragging."

  Sun Wukong, sitting at the end of his seat, said with a grin: "That's right, Oxhead is indeed capable of exchanging blows with me for a hundred rounds without falling behind."

  Listening to Sun Wukong's boastful words, the brothers in the hall laughed and scolded: "You're just a clever monkey."

  After chatting for a while, they returned to the topic at hand. The Jiaomo Wang, who was sitting under the Niuhou's command, spoke up: "If needed, I still have several million water clans under my command." Although the Jiaomo Wang didn't say much, his words had a very convincing tone.

  The Bull Demon King said, "Brothers' kindness is appreciated, but this time the Spirit Mountain is targeting me. I'm already ashamed to have troubled you all and can't return to the mountain. The matter of reinforcements must not be mentioned again, or else as the eldest brother, I would truly have no face to see anyone."

  The atmosphere in the hall suddenly solidified, and all the demon kings fell silent, no longer speaking.

  Seeing that his brothers were no longer speaking, the Ox Demon King smiled and said: "Brothers, there's no need to be overly worried, the current situation hasn't reached a desperate point yet. If it really gets to that point, I'll come find you for help, and at that time, you can't hide."

  The Ox King said so, and the atmosphere in the hall became lively again. The several brothers began to chat idly once more.

  …………

  "Niu Tou, why didn't Lao Niu let us send reinforcements?" Sun Wukong asked Lei Hao with a puzzled face after returning to the room.

  Lei Hao tilted his head and thought for a moment, in the previous life he watched "Journey to the West" whether it was a book or a TV series, there was no content about this great war. The whole "Journey to the West" revolves around Sun Wukong this monkey, Niu Mo Wang is fine, his family basically all have appearances, as for the other seven saints, they only appeared in the opening scene.

  According to the timeline of Journey to the West, this great war occurred before Sun Wukong's rebellion against Heaven. As Lei Hao himself speculated, this battle was not affected by the butterfly effect caused by his time-traveling, meaning that this great war would have happened even if Lei Hao had not appeared.

  And during this time, what shocked Lei Hao the most was that the oath of the Seven Saints was actually influenced by this battle. No, it should be the Eight Saints now, with one more person, Lei Hao, who didn't originally belong to this world.

  Lei Hao had always been puzzled, according to the timing of the Seven Great Sages' oath, their oath was during this period. However, Sun Wukong became somewhat reclusive after having Lei Hao as his iron brother, often staying in the Water Curtain Cave and Water Belly Cave, rarely leaving the East Victory Divine State, and his relationship with Niu Mo Wang and other demon kings was also relatively general, far from being sworn brothers of different sexes. This had once made Lei Hao a bit worried, if the changed 'plot' was too much, the only advantage he had as a traverser would be gone.

  It wasn't until the day when Bull Demon King loudly declared that he wanted to become sworn brothers with them that Lei Hao suddenly realized, it turned out that the Seven Saints were formed because of this. In the great war that followed, Lei Hao guessed the reason why the Seven Saints were famous in the three realms. The Accumulated Thunder Mountain of Bull Demon King was able to withstand until Sun Wukong passed by the Flaming Mountain to take scriptures and was then eradicated by the Heavenly Court and Ling Shan. The outcome of this great war is self-evident, and being able to exist under the siege of Ling Shan in its heyday, the Seven Saints naturally have the capital to be famous in the three realms...

  Sun Wukong looked at Lei Hao, who was lost in thought, and knocked on his cow horns, saying: "Cow head, I'm talking to you!"

  Lei Hao came back to his senses and looked at Sun Wukong with a daze, after several breaths, his eyes cleared up and said: "Niu Lao Da doesn't allow reinforcements, he must have his reasons, Monkey King, you can rest assured, this Ji Lei Mountain, cannot be broken!"

  Sun Wukong saw Lei Hao's ambiguous words and furrowed his brow, but didn't say anything else.

  It's strange to say, after the meeting in the Great Hall of Accumulated Thunder Mountain, the Buddhist attack weakened, and for several days, they didn't launch a strong attack on Accumulated Thunder Mountain again. They only formed an iron barrel-like battle array around Accumulated Thunder Mountain. Now, among the eight brothers, Peng Demon King, who is the fastest, and Sun Wukong cannot leave Accumulated Thunder Mountain.

  Innumerable Arhats and Bhikkhus in the sky chanting scriptures, amidst a humming noise of one million flies, golden swastikas fluttering everywhere. A golden bowl-like halo appeared and disappeared, the fierce Lion Camel King led a charge but was repelled in a very short time.

  The other few demon kings were also furious, but they were completely helpless.

  On this day, when several brothers were resting in their rooms, a Buddhist chant came from outside the Julai Mountain, "Return to Qingniu Demon King and show up." A loud voice sounded outside Moyun Cave, but the small voice spread throughout the entire Julai Mountain.

  Lei Hao in Moyundong was startled by this voice.

  "'A thousand miles of sound transmission' is just a small way, like the owner of this voice, Lei Hao can usually do it. It's just that now is a special time, and the accumulated thunder mountain has been transformed into a giant fortress by the Bull Demon King, with layers of magical shields covering the entire mountain, not to mention sounds, even the strongest attacks from the top masters of the Earth Immortal Realm cannot penetrate this layer of magical shields."

  But this voice spread throughout the entire Thunder Mountain without any reserve, and the so-called magical shield became a joke in front of this sound, startling all the monsters on the mountain with a chill in their hearts.

  "Mastermind"... This was the first thought that flashed through Lei Hao's mind. Upon thinking of this, Lei Hao's face, which had been smiling and chatting with Wu Lei just a moment ago, turned somewhat unsightly.

  "Is something wrong?" asked Wu Lei, looking at Lei Hao's face with curiosity.

  Lei Hao shook his head and said, "Nothing, you can rest in your room for a while, I'll go to the main hall."

  Having said that, he didn't wait for a response and walked out of the room. After coming out, the purple power in his hand flashed, and a thick seal was added to the door.

  After doing all this, Lei Hao turned around and strode towards the main hall in big steps.

  As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the hall, he saw a neatly dressed Bull Demon King walking out of the hall with a calm face and steady steps, followed by Iron Fan Princess with a pale face.

  "Brother, sister-in-law." Lei Hao bowed to Niu Mo Wang and Tie Shan Gong Zhu.

  "You're really something!" The Ox King laughed at Lei Hao, his smile heroic and generous, just like the old Ox King who was full of grandeur.

  Lei Hao nodded slightly. He seemed to have seen something from the Niu Mo Wang's face, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't open his mouth.

  The Bull Demon King finished speaking and continued walking towards the outside of the cave, Lei Hao followed behind him, also heading towards the outside of the cave.

  "Big Brother (Niu Lao Da, Old Cow)" A sudden rapid footsteps reminded him, the other few demon kings arrived one after another, they also felt that something was amiss.

  The Ox King nodded, didn't say a word, and continued walking towards the outside of the cave without stopping. The several brothers followed behind the Ox King, walking shoulder to shoulder with Lei Hao towards the outside of the cave.

  All the way, there were constantly added the great commanders under the command of the Bull Demon King and the demon kings from Xī Niú Hè Prefecture. When a group of demons arrived at Mó Yún Cave, nearly a hundred powerful demons followed, with the lowest cultivation being in the Earth Immortal realm.
