Chapter 307: If there is no path ahead, then I shall tread one out!

The plot continues to unfold as Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing engage in a great battle against Wuliang Xianweng.

Tang An and her three disciples do not intervene; after all, this is the highlight moment for Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing.

Wuliang Xianweng had already been injured after being sent flying by a strike from Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel, and with Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing joining forces against him, he spends almost the entire time on the defensive.

Yes, ever since he met Tang An, Wuliang Xianweng has been sabotaged by her, and not a single thing has gone smoothly for him.

"Stop, stop."

Wuliang Xianweng is covered in injuries from the beating, his face so battered it is almost unrecognizable.

"I cherish talent, so I will give you two one more chance. If you are willing to surrender, I will certainly ensure you both attain the Dao and become immortals."

"To hell with your bird-immortal nonsense!" Mo Wan Nezha kicks the Yuxu Palace token away, "I am a demon, so what!"

Ao Bing flies onto the tree body of Wuliang Xianweng and grabs his vines. "You boast of being a beacon for the world, yet you act as a bully, wreaking havoc upon the Mortal World!"

"You are the ones who are evil demons!"

He bites into the tree branches where Wuliang Xianweng's roots are located. With a sudden, forceful tug, he drags Wuliang Xianweng out along with them.

The trees behind Wuliang Xianweng are all snapped clean off, and his voice trembles with pain.

"Ignorant child, the immortal family dominates the world; only by clinging to the strong is there any path forward."

"Otherwise, vast as heaven and earth may be, they will leave you with nowhere to go."

The voices of Mo Wan Nezha and Ao Bing overlap as they launch another charge at Wuliang Xianweng.

"If there is no path ahead, then I shall tread one out!"

The Samadhi True Fire surging all over Mo Wan Nezha's body already shows signs of being tempered.

"If heaven and earth will not tolerate me, then I shall turn this universe upside down!!!"

With this punch, he directly shatters Wuliang Xianweng's Bulao Divine Art, causing him to be thoroughly defeated.

Wuliang Xianweng is no match, and Lu Tong and Hetong rush over to support him.

"Return, return to the palace."

From an angle Wuliang Xianweng cannot see, Lu Tong and Hetong both glance toward the direction of Tang An behind the demons.

Their eyes meet, seemingly exchanging some information.

Of course, even if they had exchanged it openly in front of Wuliang Xianweng, he would not have been able to see it in his bruised and swollen state. After all, his vision is almost entirely squeezed shut by his highly swollen eyelids.

The immortals retreat, and the demons pursue.

This time, black has triumphed over gold. It is also white, triumphing over black.

"We won! We won!!!"

The demons cheer, their excited voices deafening.

Yes, at the very least, this time they held their heads high and drove away the self-righteous immortals! They overcame, for once, that seemingly insurmountable class divide.

Chentang Pass, atop the city tower.

Mo Wan Nezha, Li Jing, Taiyi Zhenren, Ao Bing, and Ao Guang are all present.

Ao Bing wants to invite Nezha to hide in the deep sea together to ensure their safety.

"No, I have always been hiding and concealing myself in the past, until I finally caught a glimpse of the cruelty of this world."

"In the past, it was always my parents protecting me."

"From now on, it is my turn to protect them."

Ao Guang remains silent for a moment and says, "But Wuliang Xianweng holds a high and powerful position, and he is deeply trusted by the Daoist Master Yuanshi Tianzun; he may not necessarily fall."

"This time, we relied on the strength of those disciples to turn the situation around, but what about next time? They won't stay here forever."

"Furthermore, the paths of immortals and demons are different; water and fire do not mix. Wuliang Xianweng will surely make a comeback; what will you do then?"

Mo Wan Nezha is unconcerned, "What 'different paths of immortals and demons'? It is nothing but a shackle they use to imprison the fate of other races."

"Hmph, and so what? Do you really think you can change this world?" Having experienced so much, Ao Guang has long felt that the rebellion of his youth was like a joke.

Mo Wan Nezha lifts his chin, "I want to try."

These words make Ao Bing's pupils tremble, leaving him speechless.

Watching from the side, Tang An excitedly shakes the arms of Sun Wukong and Yang Jian, "Look, look, look at how the child has been stirred up!"

Ao Guang glances at the position where Tang An and the others are, and chuckles, as if mocking himself.

"Perhaps I am old, and no longer have the strength to collide with this world."

"Ao Bing."

Ao Bing snaps back to reality; he is reluctant, but he leaves with Ao Guang nonetheless.

Only then do Tang An and the others walk over from afar.

In truth, the plot has reached its end here.

"Don't be sad, Ao Bing will come back."

Tang An walks to Mo Wan Nezha's side, pondering how his upward-floating hairstyle was combed into two neat little buns by Lady Yin.

"Will he?"

"He will." Tang An answers him very firmly, "After all, if heaven has a Dao, it will not let lovers be separated."

"Huh?"

Nezha, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Taiyi Zhenren, Li Jing, and Mo Wan Nezha all let out a sound of confusion.

Is this phrase supposed to be used here?

"Master..."

"Alright, alright, I won't tease you." Tang An stands on tiptoe to ruffle Mo Wan Nezha's hair; having stayed for so long, she really is a bit reluctant to part with this little disciple.

"That stubborn little dragon Ao Bing will cry all the way until his father's heart softens, and then he will come back."

"However... however, we might not be able to wait until he returns."

The plot Tang An needed to follow had already been completed, and it was time to harvest the results of the things she had done in secret.

"Master," Mo Wan Nezha said solemnly, "where should I go to find you in the future?" He was also quite reluctant to part with this master.

"In the future, well, in the future..."

Tang An looked at the Lie Kong Claw in her hand; she could use it to travel between two realms, but Nezha of this world would likely find it difficult to cross the barrier between two worlds.

"When I, your master, have time in the future, I will come back to see you."

However, Tang An felt a bit guilty saying this.

Because the things waiting for her to do were simply too many, one after another. She did not know when she would be able to come back next time.

"Immortal, Immortal."

Lady Yin ran up to the city wall, "Immortal, the mansion has already prepared a meal; why not eat and drink well before leaving?"

"Yes," Li Jing also stepped forward, "we have yet to properly thank you, Immortal, for preserving my life and my wife's life inside the Tianyuan Cauldron."

Tang An could not make up her mind and looked at Nezha.

Nezha's eyes flickered, but Tang An still saw reluctance in his eyes.

"Very well, then we shall respectfully accept your invitation."

At night, in the courtyard of the mansion at Chentang Pass.

They set up a bonfire in the courtyard and roasted a whole lamb.

Tang An and her three disciples sat in a row, while Li Jing, Lady Yin, Mo Wan Nezha, Ao Bing, and Taiyi Zhenren sat in another row.

In front of everyone was a table filled with delicious food and wine.

"Little Nezha, I know your youthful spirit is high and you refuse to submit to the arrangements of fate."

"But your cultivation must never be neglected."

"I, your master, intend to guide you and Ao Bing to join the Jie Sect, hoping that the two of you can carve out a world of your own in the future."

"Of course, this is just a consideration of mine; the final decision rests with the two of you."

"Jie Sect?" Taiyi Zhenren suddenly realized, "So, you are actually a disciple of the Jie Sect?"

Tang An smiled faintly and raised her cup, "Senior Brother, I will have to trouble you to look after these two children in the future."

Taiyi Zhenren raised his wine cup; in his heart, he did not oppose Nezha and Ao Bing joining the Jie Sect.

After all, after the previous incident, there was no longer any possibility of Nezha joining the Chan Sect.

"So you are the one who will be the child's master in the Jie Sect in the future."

"Wait, that's not right, my junior fellow apprentice Shen Gongbao, he..."

Tang An sipped the fruit wine, set down her cup, and revealed a mysterious and inscrutable smile.
