Lieshan Steals the Five Grains! (Continued)
"Great Emperor Donghua, it's not Bai Chen and the others!"
Taibai Jinxing had barely answered when Haotian's rebuke rang out again:
"Then there's nothing bad about it!"
Haotian felt that the only bad thing was Bai Chen; as long as it didn't involve that Evil Cat Bai Chen, it wasn't a problem.
"Jade Emperor, your treasure trove has been stolen!"
Taibai Jinxing, no longer concerned with the details, directly explained the situation.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Haotian suddenly jumped up from his seat and flew towards his treasure vault.
Seeing this, Donghua quickly followed.
When Haotian arrived at the treasure vault, he saw that the vault's protective barrier had been broken, and immediately began to curse:
"Damn Bai Chen, how dare you steal from my treasure vault!"
Because Bai Chen had a record of being a great thief in the Primordial World, and because he had a grudge against Haotian, Haotian's first reaction was that Bai Chen was the one who did it.
Donghua surveyed the scene and said:
"Fellow Daoist Haotian, this was probably not done by Bai Chen."
Donghua felt that this was not Bai Chen's modus operandi; it was too different from Bai Chen's style.
"Donghua, how do you know?"
Haotian was puzzled when he saw Donghua speaking up for Bai Chen.
Seeing that Haotian was confused, Donghua explained everything one by one:
"Fellow Haotian, if Bai Chen did it, there wouldn't be any treasure left in the Heavenly Court's treasury."
Knowing Bai Chen's personality, he wouldn't leave you even a single brick.
They might even set fire to the treasure vault.
Back when Bai Chen was the great thief of the Primordial World, Donghua had heard the complaints of those victims.
Bai Chen's modus operandi is to take everything he can, and destroy everything he can't take.
Although the Haotian Treasury has been robbed, it doesn't seem to have suffered much damage, which clearly indicates that Bai Chen wasn't the culprit.
Bai Chen: I never expected that this great master would prove his innocence in this way.
"That's true!"
Upon hearing this, Haotian felt that Donghua's words made some sense.
"If this wasn't Bai Chen's doing, then who was?"
Haotian felt he hadn't offended anyone recently, and he couldn't imagine who, besides Bai Chen, would steal his treasure vault.
"Fellow Haotian, please take a look and see what treasures have been lost!"
Donghua gestured for Haotian to take inventory of the missing items, and then began to calculate the losses himself.
"Donghua, what has been lost is the Innate Five Grains!"
After taking stock, Haotian discovered that the missing items were the Innate Five Grains.
"The Innate Five Grains?"
Upon hearing this, Donghua looked at Haotian with suspicion, his eyes seeming to say, "You actually possess something Innate Five Grains?"
"The Innate Five Grains of Saint Tongtian some time ago..."
Haotian explained the origins and details of the Innate Five Grains to Donghua.
"If the treasure bestowed by the Saint Tongtian is lost, it will be a real problem. We must find it as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing that it was given to Haotian by the Sect Master Tongtian, Donghua was immediately shocked.
The things bestowed by the sages, let alone the Innate Five Grains, even a single stone, must be offered up as a sign of respect.
Now that the Innate Five Grains Chaos bestowed by the Sect Master Tongtian have been lost by Haotian, if this gets back to the Sect Master Tongtian and he is questioned about it, Haotian will be severely punished, even if he doesn't die.
!!!
Haotian was also shocked upon hearing this. He felt that this thief had stolen the Innate Five Grains and was trying to kill him!
That opponent is too ruthless!
Haotian wanted to know who he had offended that would try to kill him like this.
As Haotian pondered, two suspects came to mind: Bai Chen, with whom he had a deep-seated grudge, and Yaochi.
Could it be that Yaochi wants to frame me, force me to step down, and make her the empress?
While Haotian was lost in thought, Donghua had already deduced the situation.
"Haotian, I have located the thief's position!"
Donghua was able to deduce the location of the Lie Shan Shi only with the permission of the Sect Master Tongtian, after all, it was time for the actors to take the stage.
"Chase!"
Thus, Donghua and Haotian Lie Shan Shi set off to reclaim the Innate Five Grains.
Just as Lie Shan Shi was about to return to the Jiang Clan Tribe, Donghua and Haotian caught up with him.
"You traitorous human, how dare you steal my treasure! Your crimes are heinous and you deserve to die!"
Haotian roared, and a divine power transformed into lightning, attacking the Lie Shan Shi.
At this moment, Haotian didn't care who the Lie Shan Shi was; he only knew that if the Innate Five Grains were lost, he would be in trouble!
The Lie Shan Shi's cultivation was far inferior to Haotian's, and they had no way to resist, suffering severe injuries from Haotian's lightning.
Lie Shan Shi coughed up blood and essence, and his tragic state was witnessed by many humans.
After injuring Lie Shan Shi, Haotian released countless Talisman Lock with a wave of his hand, attempting to imprison Lie Shan Shi.
Just as Lie Shan Shi was about to be imprisoned by Haotian's Talisman Lock, a mysterious aura was released from Lie Shan Shi Primordial Spirit True Spirit, shattering the Talisman Lock formed by Haotian's divine power.
Haotian was furious when he saw that a human from the Lie Shan Shi dared to resist. He took out his Haotian Sword and prepared to unleash his ultimate attack.
Donghua quickly stopped Haotian, preventing him from unleashing his ultimate attack.
Seeing that Donghua was blocking his way again, Haotian turned his gaze to him, his eyes seeming to say:
Donghua, is this also one of your lovers?
The problem is, the other person is a man!
Seeing that Haotian hadn't noticed anything amiss, Donghua quickly explained:
"Haotian, something's wrong with this human. He seems to have innate energy protecting him!"
Donghua, being Lie Shan Shi, recognized the protective aura emanating from the Innate Deity Primordial Spirit True Spirit.
That's innate energy!
This is the mark of Innate Great God!
Therefore, Donghua suspected that the Lie Shan Shi before him might be related to the Innate Great God.
After Donghua said that, Haotian calmed down, put away the Haotian Sword, and temporarily stopped fighting.
Donghua arrived in front of Lie Shan Shi in an instant, sizing him up as he spoke:
"Human, hand over the treasure, and I may spare your life out of respect for the Human Mother Goddess Empress Nuwa."
Donghua sensed that the situation was a bit complicated, so he didn't want to escalate things, fearing that the waves might be too big and drag him down with him.
Now Donghua just wants to downplay the matter, get the Innate Five Grains back, and let it go.
"Humanity needs the Innate Five Grains. Once I bring the Innate Five Grains back to humanity, I will go to the Heavenly Court to confess my sins and accept punishment!"
Lie Shan Shi refused Donghua, he quickly distanced himself from Donghua and fled!
Donghua couldn't hold back any longer when he saw that the Lie Shan Shi wasn't giving him any face at all.
Even if Lie Shan Shi might be the reincarnation of Innate Great God, and Donghua himself is still the Head of Male Immortals, what then?
Donghua planned to forcibly reclaim the Innate Five Grains and resolve this matter.
Seeing that Donghua was about to use force, Lie Shan Shi prepared to take out Duobao and give him the Green Duckweed Sword to fight back.
Just then, Duobao appeared, took the Green Duckweed Sword from Lie Shan Shi, and said to him:
"Lie Shan Shi, go back to your tribe. I will take care of things here for you!"
Now that the main characters and villains have finished their scenes, it's time for the second male lead to step in.
"Thank you Duobao!"
After bowing to Duobao Lie Shan Shi, Lieshan left.
"Duobao greets the Jade Emperor and the Great God of the Donghua!"
Duobao gave Haotian and Donghua a perfunctory bow, then changed the subject, saying:
"So please leave!"
Duobao said can be translated as: You can all get out of here!
Despite his submissive demeanor in front of Bai Chen, Duobao Duobao, as the direct disciple of the Sect Master Tongtian, is actually quite arrogant!
Haotian, the Jade Emperor?
Isn't he actually a person with connections?
He's just a gatekeeper at the Purple Cloud Palace!
Duobao was once a candidate for the position of the Lord of Heavenly Court, but he lost to Haotian, so he was naturally dissatisfied with Haotian.
