The moment he heard they would be choosing treasures, Nezha jumped three meters into the air!

"Then let's go right now!"

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance to the Chan Sect's Treasure Vault.

Looking at the Treasure Vault before him, Golden Hoop Immortal finally understood why he had failed to find it.

It turned out the place had been built beneath a cliff. Without someone to guide him, Golden Hoop Immortal would never have made it here alone.

There were even disciples stationed at the entrance to guard the Treasure Vault.

With Nezha beside him, Golden Hoop Immortal naturally entered the Treasure Vault with no trouble at all.

But they had barely stepped inside the Treasure Vault when Nezha forcefully flung his hand away.

Nezha stared fixedly at Golden Hoop Immortal, who stood before him.

"You're not my master."

"Who are you? Why are you on Kunlun Mountain?"

Golden Hoop Immortal froze for a moment. He had never expected Nezha to see through his disguise at a glance.

But he soon cleared his throat and softened his voice.

"My disciple, if I'm not your master, who is?"

Nezha gave a soft snort.

"My master never pats my head, nor does he ever speak so gently to me."

"Besides, I already have the magical treasures my master gave me."

"I was only testing you earlier."

"You went to such painstaking lengths to enter the Kunlun Mountain Treasury. What are you after?"

Hearing Nezha's words, Golden Hoop Immortal felt his scalp crawl!

He had hunted wild geese all his life, only to have one peck out his eye today!

And who said this brat was easy to fool?

He was anything but!

Just as Golden Hoop Immortal tried to find the words to bluff his way out, Nezha sneered again.

"The author of the book I read was called Lu Feng."

"I don't know him, but I've heard his name."

"You're from the Interception Sect, aren't you?"

Golden Hoop Immortal was genuinely stunned that Nezha had exposed his identity in just a few sentences.

This little brat had a mind as clear as crystal!

But the very next moment, Nezha's actions made Golden Hoop Immortal's expression change in alarm!

Nezha summoned a Red Tassel Spear in one hand, while a golden hoop appeared in the other. A long red sash fluttered around him.

The child he had been looking down at now stood on two objects of some kind, rising until their eyes were level.

"What are you doing?"

Nezha sneered.

"The Chan Sect is cold and heartless. It may have a fine reputation outside, but its members are nothing more than a bunch of puppets on strings."

"Today, I'll cut those strings."

"Nobody gets to control me!"

Golden Hoop Immortal truly had never expected Nezha to be quite this filial!

He had only intended to plunder their sacred grounds.

Nezha, on the other hand, wanted to destroy them outright!

And the best part was that one of their own had brainwashed him into it!

As expected of Senior Brother. His first move was already so ruthless!

Thick flames surged from Nezha's hand, and Golden Hoop Immortal, standing closest to him, found the heat unbearable.

"Wait!"

Nezha looked coldly at him.

"Are you trying to stop me?"

Golden Hoop Immortal immediately shook his head like a pellet drum.

"Of course not!"

He would have loved nothing more than for Nezha to throw Kunlun Mountain into such chaos that chickens flew and dogs leaped!

But his mission was to plunder Kunlun Mountain's Treasure Vault.

"Would you like to give it a little more thought?"

"Actually, if you want to destroy this place, there are other ways."

Nezha snorted coldly.

"What could be better than burning this place down?"

Golden Hoop Immortal gave a dry cough.

"There certainly are other ways..."

For instance, taking every treasure here before burning the place down.

He just wondered whether the Chan Sect members would go mad when they returned.

Still, their going mad was none of his concern.

Golden Hoop Immortal looked intently at Nezha.

"Have you thought about what you'll do afterward?"

"If the Chan Sect hunts you down, a little brat like you can't spend his whole life hiding here and there, can he?"

"Besides, how could what you're doing now really count as getting back at them?"

"I have a plan. Would you like to hear it?"

Nezha looked at Golden Hoop Immortal skeptically.

"What plan?"

"You were just pretending to be my master to trick me. How can you guarantee you won't trick me again?"

Golden Hoop Immortal had never expected Nezha to be so difficult to deal with, though he had no intention of deceiving him.

"Actually, the author of that book you read is our Senior Brother."

"Have you heard of Lu Feng, the Interception Sect's Senior Brother?"

Nezha's expression instantly shifted with shock.

"He's your Senior Brother?"

Golden Hoop Immortal nodded.

"Nezha, you've read it, so do you want to hear me out now?"

Nezha fell silent for a moment, then immediately nodded.

He actually harbored no particular ill will toward the Interception Sect.

But ever since he had joined the Chan Sect, his master and the others had constantly drummed it into his ears that the Interception Sect was full of fur-covered, horned creatures with inferior origins, poor character, and absolutely no regard for rules.

Over time, Nezha naturally developed no great fondness for the Interception Sect.

Yet after finishing that novel, Nezha felt as though his spiritual mind, which had always been shrouded, had become much clearer.

Some things should be judged not by what others said, but by what they did!

For more than ten thousand years, the Interception Sect had never harmed anyone outside its ranks.

By contrast, his own Chan Sect was a gathering of hypocrites who acted under its banner while cloaking their deeds in sanctimonious righteousness.

That had gradually deepened Nezha's dislike of the Chan Sect.

Now that Nezha had benefited from the kindness of the Interception Sect's Senior Brother,

he was willing to hear Golden Hoop Immortal's plan.

Golden Hoop Immortal had no other intentions.

Right now, he only wanted to strip the Chan Sect's Treasure Vault bare.

"What do you think about us looting all the Chan Sect's treasures?"

"After all, with your current strength, even an all-out strike would have practically no chance of destroying every treasure here."

"But if the two of us work together and empty their Treasure Vault, then you set it on fire afterward..."

The more Nezha listened, the brighter his eyes grew. He even felt that the scheme was quite feasible.

But he soon caught on.

"If you egg me on to do this, aren't you afraid the Interception Sect will come after you afterward?"

Golden Hoop Immortal gave a cold snort.

"Let them come after me if they've got what it takes!"

As though he didn't have powerful backing of his own.

Hearing the pride in Golden Hoop Immortal's voice,

Nezha could not help feeling a flicker of envy.

But he soon nodded.

Either way, he would be making trouble for the Interception Sect. What difference did the method make?

Besides,

Golden Hoop Immortal's temperament suited him perfectly.

In fact, the entire Interception Sect's way of doing things suited him perfectly. It felt a little like the demon child in that novel finding a group where he belonged.

Nezha suppressed the envy in his eyes and swiftly began helping Golden Hoop Immortal rob his own sect's Treasure Vault.
