We Are Not Thieves

"What? The Ginseng Fruit was stolen?"

Upon hearing this, Ming Yue was crestfallen and slumped to the ground.

He murmured, crying, "It's over, it's over! If Old Ancestor finds out about this, he'll probably skin us alive."

"How could this happen? Our Longevity Mountain has the formation set up by Old Ancestor, no one should be able to enter freely," Qing Feng muttered.

"Your Longevity Mountain's formation is too fragile. This Emperor just flew by and broke right through it,"

Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, dressed in a brocade robe, said to the two.

Hearing this, Li Mo covered his eyes.

My second brother! How can you talk like that? We're doomed, doomed.

Di Jun frowned, not understanding Li Mo's meaning.

Then, Ming Yue pointed at Di Jun and said, "You stole the Ginseng Fruit, didn't you? I just saw it. The flames that I couldn't extinguish with my rain, you easily put them out. You were the one who set the fire!"

"Case closed! The three of you are the thieves!"

"Insolence! I am Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, and this one beside me is my elder brother, the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun. Why would I do such a sneaky thing? If I needed Ginseng Fruit, I would ask Zhen Yuanzi for some, and he would surely give me a few!" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi's hair and beard bristled, his anger uncontrollable.

"Our Ginseng Fruit is one of the Ten Ultimate Innate Spiritual Roots, extremely rare. There is only one such tree in the entire Great Desolation. It only flowers and fruits once every ten thousand years. Smelling one adds three hundred and sixty years to one's lifespan, eating one grants a lifespan of forty-seven thousand years and can also improve cultivation! In ten thousand years, it only yields thirty fruits!"

"Exactly! Even our Old Ancestor's close friend Hong Yun found it extremely difficult to obtain one. You want one too? You wish! You have no other way, so you had to steal it, right?"

"Heavenly Emperor, Eastern Emperor, I don't know about that, but I advise you to hand over the Ginseng Fruit as soon as possible. Then, apologize to Old Ancestor for destroying Wuzhuang Temple, and perhaps Old Ancestor will let you off. Otherwise, you'll regret it!"

Ming Yue was like a newborn calf, unafraid of a tiger!

He almost jumped up, pointing at Eastern Emperor's nose.

After all, he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

Tai Yi, with his fiery temper, was about to explode.

Li Mo quickly stopped him and said, "Second Brother, don't get angry. Don't forget our purpose for this trip is to win over Zhen Yuanzi. If we resort to violence, we'll ruin everything."

"But I can't swallow this insult! Such insignificant beings dare to provoke me, it's detestable! Normally, I would crush you two flies with one palm." Tai Yi gnashed his teeth in frustration, but he was helpless.

"Tai Yi, hold back for a moment," Di Jun advised.

However, Qing Feng and Ming Yue were also vicious in their insults.

"Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, Demon Emperor Di Jun! You came sneaking in to steal fruit while our Old Ancestor was away."

"If you have the guts to steal fruit, you have the guts to admit it! Don't think that just because you deny it, I won't know it was you. You dare to do it but not admit it, and you call yourselves Demon Emperor and Eastern Emperor?"

Li Mo saw the flames above Di Jun and Tai Yi's heads flare up, almost unable to contain themselves.

These Qing Feng and Ming Yue are like 'Aunt Xue'! Their mouths are so venomous.

Di Jun, unable to bear it any longer, waved his hand, and two streams of light shot out.

With a bang!

The two were knocked unconscious, their eyes closed, and they lost consciousness.

Finally, some peace. Brother Jun is indeed efficient.

Li Mo muttered to himself.

"Big Brother, didn't you say we should hold back?" Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was stunned, not expecting Di Jun to make a move.

"I couldn't hold back anymore," Di Jun sighed.

"Then what do we do?" Tai Yi asked.

Of course, we wait. Wait for Zhen Yuanzi to return and explain clearly.

Otherwise, we'll completely offend Zhen Yuanzi.

"Wait!" As Di Jun's words fell.

Two rainbows appeared in the sky.

They were moving extremely fast, as if rushing.

These two were close friends.

Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi had just returned from Huoyun Palace, having obtained spiritual roots to refine pills.

Unexpectedly, they saw thick black smoke rising from Longevity Mountain, engulfed in flames.

They hadn't arrived yet and now saw Di Jun knock out their two disciples.

The Innate High-grade Spiritual Treasure, Jade Ao, in his hand transformed into a ten-thousand-foot white silk thread, directly rolling up Qing Feng and Ming Yue.

At the same time, a stream of light shot directly towards Di Jun.

Di Jun dared not be careless.

Zhen Yuanzi's current cultivation realm was comparable to his, also at the peak of Grand Unity Golden Immortal.

His body immediately flashed with light, and he summoned the Innate Ultimate Spiritual Treasure, Hetu Luoshu.

A river appeared before Di Jun.

A stream of light struck the river, splashing a lot of water but nothing else happened.

Seeing this, Eastern Emperor Tai Yi immediately said angrily, "Zhen Yuanzi, what are you doing? You attacked my elder brother without distinguishing right from wrong?"

"Just now, Di Jun knocked out my two Daoist boys. Did you think I didn't see it? My Wuzhuang Temple is in a mess, and there are clear signs of burning. It must have been you brothers who did it? It's already lenient that I didn't kill you directly."

Zhen Yuanzi snorted coldly, very displeased.

"Zhen Yuanzi, you've got it wrong. We brothers came to Longevity Mountain's Wuzhuang Temple this time to visit you. We just happened to see Wuzhuang Temple on fire and helped you put it out."

"However, your two Daoist boys said we stole your Ginseng Fruit. They were disrespectful, so I had no choice but to knock them out," Di Jun explained.

For a moment, Hong Yun and Zhen Yuanzi's eyes widened in shock. "What? The Ginseng Fruit was stolen?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhen Yuanzi disappeared instantly. A moment later, he returned.

He said angrily, "The Ginseng Fruit that ripens once every ten thousand years has really been stolen."

Immediately, he woke up Qingfeng and Mingyue to ask about the situation.

"Ancestor, spare us, ancestor, spare us! The Ginseng Fruit was stolen. It was our fault for not guarding it properly, but the thief is right in front of us, it's them!"

Qingfeng and Mingyue knelt and begged for mercy, pointing at Di Jun and the other two.

"Little Daoist boys, that's absolutely not true. You two are slandering us. Which eye saw us steal it?"

Li Mo immediately asked.

"If it wasn't you, then who else? At that time, only a few of us were in Wuzhuang Temple, and that Eastern Emperor Tai Yi even said he broke the formation! You still want to quibble, just hand over the Ginseng Fruit quickly!"

"Otherwise, when the ancestor makes a move, you will definitely suffer some physical pain." Mingyue said confidently to Zhen Yuanzi.

"As expected, it was you. Hurry up and hand over the Ginseng Fruit!" Zhen Yuanzi said sternly.

Doesn't Zhen Yuanzi have a brain? He actually believed it was us just like that?

Di Jun said, "Zhen Yuanzi! You are too arbitrary. You listened to the words of the Daoist boys without distinguishing right from wrong!"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed in anger, "Hehehe! You stole my Ginseng Fruit, and you have the nerve to talk back! The formation I set up cannot be broken by anyone below Taiyi. Within a million miles, besides myself, only you two Golden Crows who are here now have such strength!"

"You still want to quibble! Take this!"

It's over! It seems we have to fight. This damn formation is unbreakable by anyone below Taiyi. Tai Yi is really an idiot. He just flew around casually and actually broke the formation.
