“Not good! The treasure vault has been robbed!”
“Damn it, everyone hurry back!”
“Quickly, quickly…”
Upon hearing the alarm, the Evil Dragon Clan was immediately thrown into chaos and rushed back to the Dragon Palace in panic.
Unluckily, Wuchang Yidao narrowly escaped death but was already exhausted, barely able to stand. To save his life, he dared not delay and quickly took out a talisman of great translocation, activating it to return instantly to the Dragon Island. When the Dragon Palace’s treasure vault was opened and the Nuwa Stone was found missing, the Four Dragon Lords were immediately shocked.
“Finished! The Nuwa Stone we’ve guarded for thousands of years has been stolen!”
“Heavens, it was the hope of our dragon race!”
“How is this possible? The formation of the Dragon Palace vault was untouched. How could the thief have entered?”
“Search everywhere! Find this person no matter what!”
The Four Dragon Lords were furious, roaring furiously, their eyes burning with desperation.
“It must be related to Wuchang Yidao! Let’s go take revenge in the Netherworld!”
“No, it must be the thousand-year-old female ghost and Hua Tianxiong from the Yuxu Sect. They deliberately lost to us and left the Phantom Demon Mirror and the Saint Demon Devouring Heaven Sword here. Perhaps they hid someone inside those two treasures…”
“Big brother, we should have used our ultimate weapon from the start—the Dragon God Claw!”
“Silence all of you! This matter isn’t simple. Even if it was the thousand-year-old ghost Bailian and Hua Tianxiong, they couldn’t have entered the third layer of the vault so smoothly. Obviously, this was the work of someone who is highly skilled in formations and intimately familiar with our Dragon Palace vault. That person must be Luo Tong!”
After discussing, the Four Dragon Lords quickly suspected Luo Tong.
At that moment, the Dragon Palace treasure vault suddenly trembled, and the core formation of the Dragon Palace instantly lost connection with the Four Dragon Lords. Luo Tong’s voice echoed throughout the entire Dragon Palace: “Hahahaha! You arrogant evil dragons, actually storing the Nuwa Stone inside the treasures I forged! The Nuwa Stone is a supreme material for crafting immortal weapons, desired by gods and immortals alike. What right do you evil dragons have to claim it as your own?”
“Luo Tong, you despicable villain! You dare call yourself a master craftsman, yet you steal our Nuwa Stone and mock us like this. It seems you’ve gone mad with arrogance! We’ll expose this to everyone, ruin your reputation, and have all immortals and deities hunt you down, leaving you no peace for eternity!”
“Luo Tong, you bastard! I’ll swallow you alive!”
“…”
The Four Dragon Lords cursed furiously.
“Hahahahaha…”
Luo Tong laughed again: “A bunch of foolish dragons, do you really think you can escape? I’m going to detonate all the formations inside the Dragon Palace, burying you evil dragons at the bottom of the sea forever, and then destroy your dragon souls. This way, your deaths will remain unknown to gods and men alike. Hahahaha…”
“Not good!”
“Quickly, hide inside your treasures…”
“Boom!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Suddenly, one formation after another exploded, and the entire Dragon Palace instantly collapsed.
Shui Miao had hidden inside a shrunken Nether Artifact, but hadn’t traveled far when a violent explosion sent shockwaves that spun him around uncontrollably.
The central lake of the Dragon Island was now raging with towering waves, like boiling water bubbling violently.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Suddenly, three streaks of starlight shot from the horizon, and three middle-aged men with white hair and youthful faces, wearing feathered robes, radiated extraordinary auras as they hovered above the lake.
“What’s going on? Did we arrive too late and someone got here before us?”
A celestial in red and white feathers, seeing the lake’s violent surging and occasional debris of treasures floating up, immediately furrowed his brows.
Another tall-faced, cold-eyed, handsome immortal with a mustache closed his eyes briefly, sensing with his spiritual perception. Suddenly, he moved his hand and instantly transported Wuchang Yidao, who was severely injured and exhausted, in front of him. “You are from the Netherworld…the Hunter of the Judicial Bureau?”
The handsome immortal identified Wuchang Yidao from his attire.
“Immortal Yuhua, I know him. He is Wuchang Yidao. I used the Grand Nether Decree to summon him to help my son Tianxiong. Wuchang Yidao, I am Huayuting Immortal of the Yuxu Hua Mansion. Don’t be afraid. This is Immortal Yuhua, and this is Immortal Heihu. We won’t harm you. Tell us, what exactly happened here just now?” The immortal with a square face, narrow eyes, small nose, and unusually large mouth was none other than Hua Tianxiong’s father, Hua Yuting.
“Someone tried to seize the Dragon Palace’s treasures. I don’t know the exact details, but the big explosion just happened.”
Wuchang Yidao clutched his chest, clearly suffering from severe internal injuries.
Immortal Heihu, with dark skin and a slightly rugged appearance, quickly spoke, “So according to this, the one who stole the Nuwa…”
“Hmm?”
Hua Yuting suddenly grabbed Immortal Heihu’s arm and glared at him. Immortal Heihu was startled and quickly covered his mouth.
Hua Yuting turned his head and waved his hand, sending a gourd-shaped pill furnace to Wuchang Yidao’s front. Coldly, he said, “Wuchang Yidao, you can go back now. If anything comes up later, I’ll speak to your superior, the Grand Nether Decree. These pills are for you. I hope you keep your mouth shut.”
“No reward without merit. I appreciate your kindness, but I have my own pills. I’ll take my leave!”
Wuchang Yidao didn’t reach for the gourd but instead activated another translocation talisman, leaving Dragon Island directly.
“Hmph! Ungrateful bastard! If you hadn’t run so fast, I’d have killed you!”
Immortal Heihu, playing the tough guy after the fact, shouted a few curses.
Hua Yuting glared at Immortal Heihu again before turning to Immortal Yuhua with a respectful bow. “Brother Yuhua, I think the treasure thief can’t be far. How about we split into three groups to search? What do you think?”
“Good! I’ll go search beneath the Rakshasa Sea.”
Immortal Yuhua was eager, immediately transforming into a streak of starlight and diving into the turbulent lake water.
“Heihu, what are you waiting for?”
Seeing that Immortal Heihu hadn’t followed, Hua Yuting glared at him again.
Immortal Heihu scratched his head awkwardly. “Big brother, you know I can’t swim. Why don’t you go down while I stay here? I’ll make sure not even a fly escapes.”
“You…”
Upon hearing this, Hua Yuting was instantly frustrated. “Fine then, just stay alert!”
“Sure thing, big brother!”
Immortal Heihu smiled apologetically.
Hua Yuting also transformed into a streak of starlight and dove into the water.
As soon as Hua Yuting left, Immortal Heihu muttered to himself, “Do you think I’m an idiot? The place has already exploded. Why would the thief still be hiding down there? I’ll just wander around. If I happen to meet the thief, I’ll kill him with one palm strike, and then the Nuwa Stone will be mine! Hahaha!”
Instantly, Immortal Heihu transformed, creating three clones to search in three different directions.
Meanwhile, Shui Miao was hiding inside the Nether Artifact, submerged in the Rakshasa Sea, using his Soul Devouring power to fully conceal his presence, letting the Nether Artifact drift with the current away from the three immortals.
Right now, Shui Miao’s Ten Yin Kun Yuan Formation was incomplete, making it impossible to resist the power of an Immortal Sage. Therefore, he could only quietly escape.
Taking advantage of Immortal Heihu’s distraction, Shui Miao was just about to accelerate the Nether Artifact to flee.
However, before he could even start accelerating, Immortal Heihu suddenly reappeared and grabbed the Nether Artifact from the water. “Hmm, what is this thing?”
“Damn! Now I’m really in trouble!”
