After he finished speaking, he also puckered his lips toward the direction of the Three Pure Ones.
"Right, right! We absolutely must not let certain unfilial scoundrels get it!" Zhu Rong transformed once more into a nodding machine, nodding frantically.
Regarding Zhu Rong, this Third Brother of his, Li Hao was simply speechless, raising a hand to slap him fiercely on the back. "Since you know, hurry up and go! What's the use of just nodding?"
Zhu Rong started, and realization dawned on him instantly!
Holy crap! That's right!
Just go for it! Why am I not acting like myself?
It must have been because Little Sister showed concern for him once more just now, making him feel entirely too flattered.
Given that slap by Li Hao, Zhu Rong recovered completely, and his intelligence took the high ground once again.
With a loud roar, he charged straight forward.
Snatch... no, wait! Acquire!
This was the legacy left specifically to his tribe by Father God.
Seeing Zhu Rong charge toward the Creation Green Lotus, how could the Three Pure Ones be willing to let that happen?
In fact, the very moment the Creation Green Lotus was born, the three of them had a faint sense in their hearts that this item rightfully belonged to them, their brotherhood.
This was destiny and the principles of heaven.
Laozi stepped forward and decisively conjured the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.
He signaled Yuanshi and Tongtian to go ahead and seize the treasure while he held off the three members of the Witch Tribe.
Yuanshi and Tongtian understood his intent, and without the slightest hesitation, they headed straight for the Creation Green Lotus.
Watching the performance of the Three Pure Ones, Li Hao shook his head repeatedly, clicking his tongue nonstop.
This truly ruined their images.
The image of Laozi in his heart had completely collapsed, shattered into absolute smithereens.
Good grief!
Look at those eyes, like a rabbit's, turned red with anxiety!
That expression was as if he held some deep, irreconcilable hatred.
What happened to detachment through non-action? What happened to letting nature take its course?
Were they all treated like farts and blown away?
While clicking his tongue, Li Hao cast a knowing look toward Houtu.
The Three Pure Ones truly could not harm Third Brother, but the two of them could certainly manage to tie him down.
If by then an extra person had surplus strength and snatched his magic treasure as well, that would spell trouble.
Houtu understood. Following closely behind Li Hao, the two of them charged straight toward the Creation Green Lotus.
Just as he had anticipated, after Laozi conjured his magic treasure, he indeed caught up to Zhu Rong.
Once they engaged in combat, he discovered that although it slowed the man's pace, it could not completely halt him.
Laozi grew extremely anxious and shouted in haste.
"Second Brother, Third Brother, come quickly and assist me!"
Hearing this, both Yuanshi and Tongtian were immensely surprised.
Elder Brother had conjured the Exquisite Pagoda and still couldn't stop him?
Was that member of the Witch Tribe truly so powerful?
The two exchanged glances and nodded in unison. Tongtian changed direction while Yuanshi pressed onward.
With Tongtian's addition, their path forward was thoroughly sealed off.
Zhu Rong grew extremely anxious in his heart!
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he wasn't anxious anymore. Wasn't it just a battle of endurance? Then let them endure.
Seeing that Zhu Rong was no longer anxious, Laozi and Tongtian felt somewhat puzzled.
They couldn't figure out what on earth had happened.
However, they didn't dwell on it either, as their task was merely to stall Zhu Rong.
Even though there were two other members of the Witch Tribe, by the time they rushed over, Yuanshi would have already collected the magic treasure.
With the matter settled, saying anything further would be useless.
The two of them thought to themselves.
What they didn't know was that the main reason Zhu Rong wasn't in a rush was because he had seen Li Hao and Houtu run past him and head straight toward the Creation Green Lotus.
Li Hao and Houtu were simply too fast, so fast that Laozi and Tongtian, whose physical bodies were not formidable, couldn't even notice them.
Let alone those two, even Yuanshi, whose physical body was relatively decent, merely felt a gust of wind brush past each side of him.
He didn't perceive anything else.
Yuanshi channeled his magic power to the limit and sprinted for his life, the Creation Green Lotus now close at hand.
The next scene caused him to stumble, nearly taking a fall to the ground.
As it turned out, two figures had already stationed themselves before the Creation Green Lotus long ago.
Who else could it be if not that shameless little thief of the Witch Tribe and the woman who had remained silent all along?
Seeing this sight, Yuanshi's fury soared to the heavens, and he let out a roar.
"You dare seize my Three Pure Ones' treasure? You are truly courting death!"
Yuanshi lifted his palm slightly, and a bolt of lightning, like a strip of raw silk, shot forth from his palm.
This palm strike was by no means any ordinary attack.
It was the Three Pure Ones Divine Thunder evolved by the Three Pure Ones on Kunlun Mountain based on the Chaos Divine Thunder.
They were respectively called the Taiqing Divine Thunder, the Jade Pure Divine Thunder, and the Shangqing Divine Thunder.
Just like the Three Pure Ones Immortal Light, their power and moves bore no difference; it was only because the users differed that their names varied slightly.
It could be considered a universal divine power.
However, just because everyone among the Three Pure Ones could use it, one must not underestimate it.
This divine power was, after all, comprehended from the Chaos Divine Thunder.
Its power could hardly be called weak, and while it might not shatter the heavens and earth, obliterating a person or two posed absolutely no problem at all.
It would take mere moments, guaranteed to let you die without a shred of pain.
Well... if your sense of smell was sharp, perhaps you could also smell the aroma of roasted meat, or perhaps a burnt stench?
Most importantly, it came with a one-stop funeral service. If you were lucky, the ashes left behind could be scattered by the slightest breeze.
Guaranteed that even after death, you could still roam freely across the four directions.
If you lacked luck? Perhaps not even ashes would remain.
Still, this wasn't bad—clean, sanitary, and environmentally friendly.
With the divine thunder descending upon them, the commotion was truly not small, causing the valley floor to quake and dust to fly.
A sneer hung on the corner of Yuanshi's mouth.
"Ignorant wretches, repeatedly provoking me. I am magnanimous enough not to bicker with you."
"Yet you dare covet treasures belonging to us! You truly do not know whether you are living or dying!"
He wasn't worried that this bolt of divine thunder would harm the Creation Green Lotus.
Are you kidding me?
Such a Primordial Object, how could it possibly be destroyed by a mere Jade Pure strike?
To put it another way, any magic treasure that could be easily destroyed by the Jade Pure Divine Thunder was something Yuanshi wouldn't even deign to look at in the first place!
Yuanshi's thoughts were correct; this Creation Green Lotus was an Innate Supreme Treasure.
As a subsidiary product of the Chaos Green Lotus, how could it be so easily destroyed?
This item could not be broken by anything short of the power of the Heavenly Dao.
It was precisely because of this that Yuanshi dared to unleash his attack without the slightest restraint.
Yuanshi waited for a moment. Seeing that the billowing dust refused to settle for a long time, he chose to ignore it and walked straight toward the Creation Green Lotus.
Who would have thought that the moment he stepped into the dust and before he had even taken two steps, a massive face suddenly appeared right before his eyes.
This sudden change startled Yuanshi so much that he gave a violent shudder.
Don't say that innate beings wouldn't react this way; it was a bodily instinct.
No matter how bold a person was, having such a thing happen out of the blue would have the exact same effect.
Unless that person had an extremely slow reaction time.
Following his shudder, Yuanshi instinctively leaped back by a considerable distance, striking a defensive pose.
Laozi and Tongtian watched, utterly bewildered.
What was going on? They had collected the magic treasure already?
However, what was the meaning of this defensive posture?
Before long, the two of them got their answer.
The smoke and dust dissipated entirely.
