Chapter 703: Chapter 314: Poke a Big Hole

Zhuang Wujiu immediately returned from the Mortal World.

"Venerable Lord Guang Xiao!"

He shouted loudly, and Venerable Lord Guang Xiao flew over, taking him towards the Black Iron Pillar!

Venerable Lord Guang Xiao was comparable to a Mahayana Realm presence, incredibly fast. From the Western Capital to the Black Iron Pillar, even at full speed, it would take the Black Pot at least half an hour, but with Venerable Lord Guang Xiao carrying Zhuang Wujiu, it only took a quarter of an hour.

The two halted, and Zhuang Wujiu immediately searched in all directions, trying to find the person who took the treasure. However, the area was a vast white expanse, not even a ghost in sight, let alone a person!

The one who seized the treasure obviously wouldn’t stay in the original place, waiting to be caught; naturally, they fled!

"Venerable Lord Guang Xiao, the Mortal World!"

Zhuang Wujiu shouted loudly, and Venerable Lord Guang Xiao immediately broke through the barrier of the Yin and Yang Two Realms, appearing in the Mortal World.

They appeared on East Mountain of the Western Capital, on a road running through the mountains.

At this time, it was night, and the sky had not yet brightened. The road was bustling with people coming and going. This road was a main route for counties to the east of Jinzhou Province, with many carts and horses. Mercantile caravans, carts delivering vegetables and meat to the capital, barefoot porters, scholars on outings, a bustling scene.

On the carts hung Peach Talismans, they carried lanterns, and were escorted by Jinyi Guards, with a Divine Shrine floating behind to guard against Evil Spirits.

In recent months, because Talisman Masters of Red Mountain Hall were active in rural areas, eliminating many Evil Spirits, the number of Evil Spirits had significantly decreased, making night travel much safer. However, as Evil Spirits still lurked, the caravans still needed to hire Jinyi Guards for protection.

Zhuang Wujiu stood on the road, watching the people weaving through, feeling a chill in his heart.

Finding the one who seized the treasure under such circumstances was like reaching for the sky; moreover, the person who stole the treasure might not even take this route!

"My main purpose for coming down from the mountain this time was for this treasure. Years of painstaking cultivation and diligent research, hoping to pocket this treasure! Now, with the treasure gone, hasn’t all my hard work over these years been in vain?"

He was filled with melancholy, and a surge of ferocity rose in his heart. "Who on earth has been secretly spying on me, stealing my Magical Treasure? This person must be insidious and cunning, secretly observing my steps to collect treasures and stealing my ability to refine treasure! Once I failed, they immediately came to seize the treasure!"

He was both furious and a bit cautious.

The treasure was an ancient remnant, with immense and incredible power.

He had heard that it was left behind by an Ancient God. For unknown reasons, the Ancient God disappeared, and the treasure had not yet been refined, so it stood between Heaven and Earth, receiving the tempering of the five great Innate Qi between Heaven and Earth. It had been many years until it finally matured.

He was ordered to come down from the mountain, fully prepared, ambitious, and came for the treasure, yet someone else plucked the fruit!

Zhuang Wujiu, dejected, then revitalized his spirit: "Seizing my treasure and wanting to get away with it, not so easy! Guang Xiao, immediately mobilize all the Heaven Listeners to monitor everything in the Western Capital and the surrounding thousand miles!"

Venerable Lord Guang Xiao obeyed, immediately flying away.

Very soon, many Heaven Listeners appeared inside and outside of the Western Capital. Previously, there were already quite a few Heaven Listeners, but they mostly monitored royals and nobles, high-status individuals in the Western Capital, but this time seemed different, even around ordinary civilians, Heaven Listeners appeared, eavesdropping.

For a while, inside and outside the Western Capital fell silent, with people not daring to talk when they met, often signaling with their eyes instead.

It didn’t take long for people to discover that these Heaven Listeners were extremely sensitive to words like stick, iron rod, black iron, etc. If accidentally mentioning one of these terms, seven or eight Heaven Listeners would immediately appear all around, recording the speaker’s behavior and conduct.

When Chen Shi returned home, the day was already bright, and many Heaven Listeners were around the Chen Mansion. However, the Chen Mansion was busy repairing the house, and this matter did not affect them much.

Chen Tang saw that after causing trouble, he left home and now returned with a black stick, thinking he was too harsh and scared his son. The son picked up a stick outside to defend himself, fearing being beaten by his own father.

His anger subsided more than half, and he said to Chen Shi, "A loving father often spoils the child; I can’t bear for you to squander the family fortune built over the years. I’m out of money, still owe the bricklayer, you pay the bill."

Chen Shi laughed, "I say just don’t repair it, bring mother and let’s return to Qianyang Mountain, no need to stay in the Western Capital."

Chen Tang thought for a moment, nodded, "Fetch your mother, and then we go back. However, this courtyard still needs repair, if we come to the capital, we still need a place to stay. You pay for it."

Chen Shi said, "Uncle Little Wu has stored a lot of money in Juxian Building, if you’re short on cash, go to Juxian Building to get it. Just say you’re the brother of Chen Wu, father of Chen Shi, should be able to draw some money."

Chen Tang snorted, he and Creation Little Five were mortal enemies, bullied by Creation Little Five since childhood, how could he use his money?

"But I can use my son’s money." He thought secretly.

Chen Shi let the Black Pot influence the thoughts of others, took out the Black Iron Stick and examined it closely.

This item was only three feet eight inches long, slightly thicker at both ends, but not much, only as thick as a baby’s arm, with extremely complex patterns. Because it was entirely black, these patterns were not prominent.

Chen Shi casually swung it, the air whooshing, making it seem very heavy, but aside from that, it seemed to have no other use.

"Good for hitting people. Let’s test its power first."

Chen Shi tried to infuse it with his Qi-Blood, but the Black Iron Stick showed no change.
