Chapter 303: Oh My God, This Is Going to Be Big!

~8 min read 1,478 words

Wuliang Xianweng opened his eyes and looked at Tang An.

"Who are you?"

Poor Wuliang Xianweng did not know that the smashing of Yuxu Palace and the scattering of the demons were all planned by Tang An, who had also participated in their execution.

Tang An did not speak, but silently took the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi out from the Wealth Gathering Ring.

Upon seeing the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi, Wuliang Xianweng was so startled that he hurriedly bowed in salute.

"I do not know who you are, fellow Daoist? Why do you possess Master's supreme treasure?"

Tang An weighed the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in her hand. "I am acting under the orders of Yuanshi Tianzun to investigate the matter of the Hunyuan Pearl being reincarnated as an immortal."

"As for the situation, I have already heard it all from Taiyi Zhenren and Nezha."

"Nezha's Ascension Examination has also concluded; Lu Tong can testify to this."

Tang An glanced at Lu Tong, and Lu Tong bowed in salute. "Yes, Master."

Wuliang Xianweng looked at Tang An, half-doubting.

Although Tang An held the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi in her hand, judging by her temperament, she did not look like a proper immortal at all.

Furthermore, observing her constitution, there was not a trace of Immortal Power within her body; she was simply a mortal.

Yet, being a mortal, how could she have been favored by Master and specifically sent to urge the progress of the Hunyuan Pearl?

If he let her go to report to Master, then his plans to refine the Demon Pill, the Spirit Pearl, and the Dragon Clan would be impossible to conceal.

Tang An watched the changes in Wuliang Xianweng's expression, the smile at the corners of her mouth impossible to hide.

"Are you thinking of seizing my Three Treasures Jade Ruyi and then refining me along with it? And then finding an excuse to fool Yuanshi Tianzun?"

Wuliang Xianweng did not expect his thoughts to be seen through by Tang An; it seemed this person was truly not to be underestimated.

"Wuliang Xianweng, you certainly have a lot of nerve."

Tang An wiped the smile from her face, and the hem of her skirt fluttered without wind, rustling.

Before she finished speaking, Wuliang Xianweng felt himself locked onto by three strands of killing intent.

Only then did those three strands of killing intent and pressure make Wuliang Xianweng realize the severity of the situation.

Not to mention that the cultivation level of those three killing intents was all above that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he could only sense the origin of those three auras, but could not lock onto them.

It seemed there was indeed an expert secretly guarding the person before him. Could it be that Master was warning him of something?

But his plan had already been fully set in motion; the alchemy and spellcasting were not yet complete, so how could he stop?

"How about waiting..."

"No waiting."

"I mean..."

"You don't want to say it."

Tang An could not be bothered to waste words with him. "Either you go back now, let Nezha become an immortal, and go to the treasury to pick a suitable treasure for him."

"Or, I will go to Yuanshi Tianzun right now."

"Tell me, what if, because of your own selfish desires, you disrupted the Sanqing Saint's discussion on the Conferring of the Gods Great Tribulation and interfered with the progress of the Conferring of the Gods?"

"What do you think the end of Wuliang Xianweng would be then?"

"And, with the Great Tribulation of the Conferring of the Gods carrying such immense Causality, are you truly not afraid of your body perishing and your Dao dissipating?"

Clearly, regardless of what Tang An's purpose was, what she said had indeed struck a chord with Wuliang Xianweng.

Wuliang Xianweng could detect that the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi was genuine. That meant there was no possibility of doubting the identity she claimed.

After all, he had never heard of anyone being able to snatch or steal the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi from Yuanshi Tianzun.

"Very well. Lu Tong, Hetong, you lead the Demon-Catching Squad to keep watch here."

"You must guard the Tianyuan Cauldron well; do not let the Dragon Clan have a chance to break the cauldron. I will go to Yuxu Palace and return immediately." As Wuliang Xianweng spoke, he gave Hetong a look.

He was telling Lu Tong that after he left, if any changes occurred, he should release the three dragons from the Tianyuan Cauldron to help them.

"Yes! Master."

"The two Nezhas, you follow this old man."

Wuliang Xianweng cast a spell and took both Nezhas away together.

Tang An watched Wuliang Xianweng disappear, clapped her hands, and put away the Three Treasures Jade Ruyi.

Next, it was time for her to stretch her muscles and show what she could do.

"Yang Jian," Tang An notified him through the Jade Pendant.

"Coming, Master."

"Once the signal comes from Nezha's side, we start the heist."

Yang Jian calmly took the Human Seed Bag handed over by Tang An; the last time he had played something this exciting was when he robbed the Western Heaven treasury.

As for the situation at the Tianyuan Cauldron, Ao Bing was already fighting with Lu Tong and Hetong. The Demon-Catching Squad was guarding the flanks and, having received no orders, did not intervene.

Li Jing and Lady Yin were protected by Mo Wan Nezha's Armillary Sash and could only watch and worry.

Taiyi Zhenren had a headache and did not know what to do.

He went to persuade one, only to be punched. He went to persuade the other, only to be kicked.

In a short while, the others were fighting intensely but were uninjured, while he, the peacemaker, ended up with a bruised and swollen face.

Tang An sat down on the Tianyuan Cauldron and even shared a handful of melon seeds with Yang Jian; the master and disciple were there to watch the show.

"Good, good, good, yes, keep fighting like that!"

"Your legs are long, you can reach him, kick him, a flying kick!"

"Ao Bing, seal him, yes, seal his lower stance!"

"Wow, controlled, controlled."

She, who loved to watch the chaos, even started directing the scene on the spot.

Taiyi Zhenren flew to Tang An's side in discouragement and sat down on the ground with a thud.

"Give me some too, can you?"

Tang An held back a laugh and gave Taiyi Zhenren a handful of melon seeds as well.

"Child, why aren't you the least bit panicked?"

"What is there to panic about? It won't kill anyone."

"Sigh..." For a moment, Taiyi Zhenren found himself unable to refute this. "Then child, did you really come here under the orders of Master?"

"No."

"Whoa! Child, how can you lie to people?" Taiyi Zhenren jumped up in excitement, and this jump made his face ache. "Ow, ow, ow..."

"Child, what, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Me?" Tang An seemed to sense something, and she patted her bottom and stood up from the ground. "I'm going to pull off something big."

"Hmm?"

"You'll know in a moment." Tang An blinked her eyes innocently, then raised her hand and used the Immortal Binding Rope to tie up Taiyi Zhenren.

Taiyi Zhenren was tied up and rolled on the ground, "Child, what exactly are you trying to do?" He had a very bad premonition.

It was a premonition that felt even worse than the things Wuliang Xianweng had done.

It was also at this moment that a spatial rift, sliced open by the Lie Kong Claw, appeared in front of Tang An and Yang Jian.

And what appeared on the other side of the spatial rift was the scene inside the Yuxu Palace treasury, along with Nezha, who was waiting for Tang An to praise him with a bright, smug smile on his face.

At this moment, the three of them—master and disciples—looked at each other, looking exactly like wicked villains.

Wuliang Xianweng sensed something was wrong and hurriedly wanted to turn back to cast a spell.

Yang Jian chuckled, unleashed the Three-Pointed Double-Edged Spear, directly broke Wuliang Xianweng's spell, and stepped into the Yuxu Palace treasury with Tang An.

"Hey, child, don't be impulsive, you..."

Taiyi Zhenren's voice disappeared completely from Tang An and the others' ears as the spatial rift closed.

And the Immortal Binding Rope also returned to Tang An's hand the moment the rift closed.

Yuxu Palace, inside the treasury.

"Wow~"

Looking at the school of fish in front of her, Tang An felt as if she had arrived in an underwater world.

Is every fish a treasure?

"Oh my god, I'm going to be rich~"

Her expression, which clearly coveted the treasures, no longer had any concealment.
