So what if they tore it down?

This Investiture of the Gods Tribulation concerned the grand scheme of things. There could not be even the slightest mistake!

Apart from the Saints present, no one else could conceal the heavenly secrets.

Could it have been Tongtian?

The possibility had barely surfaced in Hongjun's mind before he shook his head.

It couldn't have been Tongtian.

If Tongtian had already divined the heavenly secrets, he wouldn't have appeared at Zixiao Palace.

Now that something unexpected had happened, it seemed he would have to make preparations early.

At that thought, Hongjun immediately rose and headed into the depths of Zixiao Palace.

The Investiture of the Gods List and the God-Beating Whip were stored there.

This concerned his grand plan...

Golden Ao Island.

It remained peaceful.

The Bodhi Tree stretched its branches across the island.

Yet after a burst of birdsong, four streaks of light landed on the island together.

Nezha looked at Golden Ao Island before him, curiosity in his eyes.

"So this is the Interception Sect's sacred grounds?"

He had never visited Golden Ao Island since his birth.

Most of what he had known about the Interception Sect had come from scattered remarks made by his teacher and fellow disciples.

Now, looking at Golden Ao Island, he saw not a single figure and sensed no living presence, yet its imposing grandeur still pressed down on him.

Nezha vaguely sensed that the Interception Sect before him seemed far more formidable than the Chan Sect.

If the Chan Sect's imposing presence radiated outward,

Then the Interception Sect's was drawn inward, making one's heart tremble.

Golden Hoop Immortal gazed at the island before him, his eyes filled with nostalgia.

"To think I've come back again."

"These are our Interception Sect's sacred grounds."

"The Interception Sect has disbanded now, and everyone is scattered throughout the Primordial World. Only Senior Brother remains on the island."

"Though we previously asked you to join the Interception Sect, none of us would dare make that decision without Senior Brother's approval."

"You know what to do when we see Senior Brother in a moment, right?"

Nezha recalled the method Tiger Monster and Snake Monster had taught him, then put on an adorable smile.

"Like this?"

Seeing Nezha's sweet little smile, Golden Hoop Immortal immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"Exactly! Just like that!"

"All you have to remember is to stay cute. Senior Brother will definitely let you join the Interception Sect!"

With Golden Hoop Immortal's assurance, Nezha immediately felt relieved.

"Then when are we going to see Senior Brother?"

Actually, Tiger Monster and Snake Monster missed Senior Brother quite a bit too.

At this, they simply took the lead.

"Why don't we go see Senior Brother right now?"

With that, Tiger Monster and Snake Monster assumed their beast forms and raced toward Lu Feng's cave abode.

Golden Hoop Immortal and Nezha naturally refused to fall behind and immediately followed the two monsters.

Yet the moment the four of them reached the entrance to Lu Feng's cave abode, the patch of spiritual roots beside it left them stunned!

"So many spiritual roots?"

"And there's even an innate spiritual root, a Flat Peach Tree?"

"This soil is actually five-colored divine soil!"

"Heavens, I'm drooling!"

"..."

Tiger Monster and Snake Monster were practically drooling already.

But at the thought that Senior Brother had planted all these himself, they hurriedly wiped their mouths, not daring to take another look.

They had only been away for such a short time.

Yet Senior Brother had transformed the entrance to his cave abode into this. Wasn't that simply incredible?

While they were all mulling this over, the door to the cave abode suddenly opened.

Lu Feng came out to water his Flat Peach Tree as usual.

But he had never expected to be startled by four voices outside the moment he opened the door.

"What are you four doing back here?"

The instant they saw Lu Feng, Golden Hoop Immortal and the others became much better behaved.

"Senior Brother!"

"We brought a child back!"

Lu Feng recognized Golden Hoop Immortal.

But Tiger Monster and Snake Monster behind him only struck Lu Feng as vaguely familiar.

Their half-human, half-beast forms, in particular, were downright painful for Lu Feng to look at.

What kind of tiger had a tiger's head and wore a pair of big red shorts below?

What kind of dragon had a human head and a snake's body, wore a jacket so green it couldn't possibly be greener, and even draped that jacket right over its head?

Green piled upon green!

Lu Feng silently averted his eyes, then spotted Nezha standing behind Golden Hoop Immortal.

He had to admit that compared with the other three, Nezha looked as exquisitely carved as jade.

A red bellyband on top, red shorts below, and two little hair buns-he couldn't have been cuter!

With just one glance, Lu Feng recognized him.

"Nezha?"

These little rascals had gone out once and actually brought back a third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect!

Nezha stood obediently before Lu Feng, all the while remembering to act adorably cute toward him just as Golden Hoop Immortal had taught him earlier.

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Lu Feng had actually anticipated Nezha leaving the Chan Sect.

But he hadn't expected the boy to come here afterward.

After giving it some thought, Lu Feng simply couldn't be bothered to dwell on it.

"Since you're already here, you might as well sit for a while."

"But what brings you here this time?"

Never expecting Lu Feng's acceptance to come so easily, Nezha's eyes lit up with excitement.

Golden Hoop Immortal, however, looked rather guilty after Lu Feng finished his question.

"Well, we did something."

"The consequences might be a little serious. Second Senior Brother said he couldn't handle it and told us to come to you, Senior Brother..."

The further Golden Hoop Immortal went, the quieter his voice became.

Lu Feng listened with utter bewilderment.

What could have such serious consequences?

Something even Duobao couldn't cover for?

"You didn't do anything bad, did you?"

Golden Hoop Immortal immediately shook his head.

"We didn't do anything bad! What we did was good for the Interception Sect!"

Yes, good for the Interception Sect!

As for the Chan Sect, they couldn't worry about that much.

Lu Feng paused for a moment, then said casually,

"Then there you go!"

"As long as you haven't torn down the Jade Void Palace, what could be too much to handle?"

At Lu Feng's words, the guilt on Golden Hoop Immortal's and the others' faces deepened.

Noticing their changing expressions, Lu Feng immediately looked up at them.

"You didn't really tear down the Jade Void Palace, did you?"

After saying this, Lu Feng first glanced at Golden Hoop Immortal, then at Tiger Monster and Snake Monster.

Well, that settled it!

What else could these three get up to when they were together?

Then Lu Feng's gaze fell on Nezha.

And there was a Chan Sect disciple too.

Good grief, they'd pulled off a coordinated strike from inside and out!

The point was, with what little strength they had, they'd gone and torn down someone else's Jade Void Palace. They really weren't afraid of dying!

Lu Feng finally understood why Duobao had passed the buck to him.

Anyone would feel rattled by something this big, wouldn't they?

But then he reconsidered.

The Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was coming anyway.

So what if they tore it down!

Once the two sects started fighting, it wasn't as though no blood would be shed.

They had merely added another stroke to the ledger of hatred before the Calamity arrived.
