I became the Demon Emperor in Journey to the West

Chapter 77 Visitors from Shituoling

Five days flew by.

The banquet that the green-haired lion monster has been preparing for months is finally about to begin.

Around the main hall, five hundred guerrillas lined up in formation to guard the main hall.

There are three levels of guard formation, one on the ground, one in the middle, and one above the main hall.

All the demon soldiers are full of energy and look like a well-trained army.

The demon generals on each mountaintop also lined up in order according to the instructions of the green-haired lion monster.

Looking down from the sky above Shituo Ridge, tens of thousands of demon troops are hunting with banners and dazzling swords, looking majestic.

By setting up this array, it was obvious that the green-haired lion monster wanted to show off in front of the visitors.

A breeze blew by, and the first batch of guests arrived at Shituoling.

The visitors are the three demon kings Bichen, Bihan and Bishu from Xuanying Cave in Qinglong Mountain.

"Three younger brothers are coming to Shituoling. Brother, my face is so bright!" the green-haired lion monster said as he hurried up to greet them.

"Brother, you have been friends with us for thousands of years. To say such kind words is to be disrespectful!" King Bichen said with a smile.

During the Conferred God Period, although the green-haired lion monster was one of the seven immortals who served the leader of the Tongtian Sect of the Jie Sect, he became an immortal from a lion demon. Although he transformed into a human form and entered the Jie Sect, he was still essentially a demon. He was the same as Pichen and other three great kings. Become sworn brothers.

"Haha, brother speaks freely, then I will listen to brother, be less polite, and please come in."

"Brother Lion, please."

Next, the three brothers said hello to the yellow-tusked old elephant and the golden-winged roc, and entered the main hall accompanied by the green-haired lion monster.

The second batch of guests are the seven Gu Diao brothers from Skull Mountain. These seven monsters have human bodies and sculptured heads, and have wings on their backs. They look like septuplets and look exactly the same.

If they weren't wearing clothes of different colors, even their parents wouldn't be able to tell who is who!

The seven Gu Diao brothers are friends with the Golden-winged Dapeng, and are also acquainted with the Green-haired Lion Monster and the Yellow-tusked Old Elephant.

"Welcome seven brothers." Golden-winged Dapeng said simply.

"Thank you, Brother Dapeng, for the invitation." The eldest of the seven Gu Diao brothers said with a smile.

"Please come inside." The golden-winged roc accompanied the seven Gu Diao brothers into the hall.

The third batch of guests are the three sisters of the nine-tailed fox demon from Qingqiu Mountain, White Fox, Red Fox, and Green Fox.

The green-haired lion monster met these three sisters at the banquet of the Golden Spirit Mother.

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit is a disciple of the Master Tongtian. Her true form is a phoenix and she is good friends with the nine-tailed fox sisters.

At a banquet organized by Our Lady of the Golden Spirit, the green-haired lion monster and the yellow-tusked old elephant met the nine-tailed fox sisters. They met several times later and developed a deep friendship.

These three sisters have all fully cultivated into human form. They all have graceful figures and beautiful faces, and their temperaments are very different from the sinister and bloody Shituoling.

"The green-haired lion is honored by the presence of three fox demon girls." The green-haired lion monster said loudly.

The white fox chuckled and joked: "Brother Lion, our three sisters are not deaf. Why are you speaking so loudly?"

The green-haired lion monster was startled for a moment, then laughed, "Little Miss White Fox, your personality is still so casual."

"There is no way. The three of us sisters stay in Qingqiu Mountain all year round, and we don't see many outsiders in a year. If we don't be more casual, we will die alone. How can we compare to you, who has countless demon soldiers and generals under his command? Wan is worshiped every day." Bai Hu said.

"If little white fox girl feels lonely in Qingqiu, she can move to Shituoling to live." The green-haired lion monster said.

"Haha, even the air in this place is smelly. We can't get used to it. Although Qingqiu is a little deserted, it is much better than Shituoling." Bai Hu said.

"If the three girls don't come, you can't force me as a brother, right? Please come inside." After the green-haired lion monster finished speaking, he sent the three sisters into the main hall.

Several more guests came later.

A shark from the abyss of the netherworld, this monster has also transformed into a human form. He is dressed in plain clothes and has a stern face. He looks like a gentle and gentle teacher. There are also deer spirits from Qinghua Cave in Liulinpo, and leopard monsters from Zheyue Lianlian Cave in Yinwu Mountain.

The last one to arrive was the Bull Demon King from Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain.

This is the most important guest among the guests hosted by the green-haired lion monster today. He is very familiar with the three demon kings of Shituoling, so when the Bull Demon King arrived, the three demon kings came forward to greet him. "Brother Niu is here, the lion and camel ridge is shining brightly, welcome." The green-haired lion said with a strange smile.

"You're welcome, Blue Lion King. I was delayed due to some matters and came a little late. Please forgive me." The Bull Demon King also said with a smile.

"It's not too late, please come to Brother Niu's palace." The green-haired lion monster said.

There were seventeen guests in total.

Zhang Yuan did not follow the green-haired lion monster to greet the guests in front of the main hall.

At this moment, he was busy in the kitchen, instructing more than a dozen human cooks and hundreds of demon cooks to wash, cut, stir-fry, cook, and fry...

According to the recipe finally decided by the green-haired lion monster, the cooks have to make forty-eight dishes, six kinds of soup, six kinds of staple food, and twelve kinds of spiritual fruits.

Zhang Yuan also divided the dishes, soups, staple foods and spiritual fruits into several portions according to the number of distinguished guests invited by the green-haired lion monster, and placed one portion in front of each person.

This increases the workload of the cooks.

At noon, the order from the green-haired lion monster arrived, all the invited guests arrived, and the food was served!

A team composed of human cooks, demon cooks and mountain patrol troops, led by Zhang Yuan, marched toward the main hall in a mighty manner.

After arriving at the main hall, the cooks and demon soldiers were busy distributing food tasting fruits to the guests, while Zhang Yuan was directing from the side.

The green-haired lion monster and the yellow-tusked old elephant sat in the middle of the two long tables, and the golden-winged roc sat on the side of the green-haired lion monster.

The seventeen guests also took their seats.

The three demon kings are the masters of Shituoling, and no one will have any objections if they sit in the main seat.

As for the ranking of the guests, they are ranked according to the time when they become demons.

After the dishes and spiritual fruits were placed in place, the green-haired lion monster raised his glass and stood up, saying loudly: "It is really a blessing for us, the three brothers of Shituoling, to be able to come to the banquet today."

"Although we are both members of the Monster Clan, we are far apart. We have rarely seen each other for hundreds of years. When we get together today, we must get drunk before resting. Come on, let me offer you the first cup. Thank you for coming all the way. To Shituoling."

"Dry."

Everyone shouted in unison and drank all the wine in their cups.

Then, the yellow-tusked old elephant stood up, raised his wine glass, and said, "I would like to toast you all. I hope you will achieve great success in your cultivation and live a free and easy life."

"Dry."

Everyone shouted again and drank all the wine.

Next is the golden-winged roc toast.

The usually cold-hearted Golden-winged Dapeng spoke very concisely.

"I'll give you a drink."

After saying that, drink the wine in the glass directly.

No one cares about his attitude.

After all, Golden-winged Dapeng has such a personality, and his identity is also very extraordinary.

Tathagata's uncle.

This identity is known not only to the Buddhas in Lingshan, but also to the gods in heaven and some powerful figures in the demon world.

He is powerful, has a good background, and should be arrogant.

Looking at the monsters sitting there, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

According to what he had originally thought, the guests hosted by the green-haired lion monster were probably fellow disciples or close friends of Jie's original teaching.

Unexpectedly, it was a group of demon kings.

This raises a question, what is the purpose of the green-haired lion monster hosting a group of demon kings in such a grand manner?
