883: Is there a problem with taking something that is stolen?

Uptown.

In an alleyway.

Xie Weilou secretly thought, "I was still too impulsive..."

According to his previous plan, with the help of the Bronze Cursed Man and the ten thousand souls banner, he should have been able to instantly take down Prince Qing and directly soul-search him.

Now, upon closer thought, this plan was not thorough.

If the Bronze Cursed Man and the King of Evil Spirits inside the ten thousand souls banner appeared and fought with a Venerable, the commotion would certainly be significant. By then, the old ancestors of the imperial family would likely sense the disturbance and instantly rush over.

With the Bronze Cursed Man and the ten thousand souls banner, he had considerable confidence against a Venerable.

But against those unknown imperial ancestors, it would be hard to say.

It seems that investigating Prince Qing needs to be more cautious.

"Oh! Kid, you're not simple, you actually managed to come out alive."

Not far away, Wang the Celestial Being looked at Xie Weilou with a rich smile. A young brat trying to play a Daoist stealth technique in front of him, an ancestor of the Heaven Mending Sect, wasn't that going awry?

However, this kid was indeed not simple; he could actually leave Prince Qings Estate. He had some tricks up his sleeve.

Xie Weilou looked at Wang the Celestial Being and said with a smile, "Daoist priest, what a good scheme! I almost fell for your trick. But for a dignified hidden great power like you to be fixated on a bit of money, it's simply disgraceful."

Wang the Celestial Being sneered, "What do you know, kid? This old Daoist has cultivated his whole life, and now his lifespan is nearing its end. I just happen to lack some money for traveling the mortal world. I entered Prince Qings Estate to take what was stolen. Is there a problem?"

Xie Weilou said indifferently, "Traveling the mortal world? I think the Daoist priest's six senses are not pure; you want to listen to music in pleasure quarters and visit brothels to play with girls, right!"

"Uh..."

Wang the Celestial Being gave an awkward laugh. He sheepishly said, "The Great Dao shouldn't be so small-minded."

Xie Weilou sighed, "How embarrassing!"

Wang the Celestial Being glared at Xie Weilou, "You're no better, kid. What you just used was the Void Scripture of the Lin clan. The dignified Void Scripture, yet you used it for such underhanded things. You've also disgraced your Lin clan's Void Great Emperor."

The Void Scripture is only mastered by members of the Lin clan. This kid in front of him must be a junior from the Lin clan.

Xie Weilou sneered, "Daoist priest, you're full of bad intentions. If you hadn't tried to trick me, why would I have used the Void Scripture?"

As he spoke, he stared at the old Daoist's sleeve, "That tattered burlap bag the Daoist priest used just now, I feel it's quite good. How about the Daoist priest gives it to me?"

That burlap bag, while a bit ugly, was definitely a peerless treasure.

Wang the Celestial Being scoffed, "You sure dare to dream. That's this old Daoist's Qiankun Bag, a Great Dao Sacred Artifact that can even hold the universe!"

He stared at Xie Weilou, his eyes narrowing, "You kid, you remind me of another very hateful kid! Just as greedy and hateful."

He found it difficult to recognize Xie Weilou; the mask Xie Bian gave him was extraordinary, seemingly capable of obscuring all detection.

Upon hearing this, Xie Weilou couldn't help but become interested, "Has the Daoist priest been tricked before?"

Old geezer, I'm right in front of you, how much do I look like the previous one?

"Hmph!"

Wang the Celestial Being snorted, not wanting to bring up that embarrassing matter.

He had lived for twelve thousand years, and all this time, he had done no shortage of petty thievery, swindling, and deception; he was always the one tricking others.

He never expected to come to Eastern Wilderness City and be tricked by a young lad. It was simply a great humiliation.

Xie Weilou said earnestly, "Daoist priest, there is honor among thieves. Stealing money is but a small path!"

"I observe that this imperial palace is extraordinary, even suppressed by the supreme emperor artifact, the human emperor pagoda. It is said that the Daughter of the Human Emperor has returned, wielding the human emperor sword, which is quite remarkable. How about we cooperate and go steal that human emperor pagoda and human emperor sword?"

"Hehe! My family is poor, farewell."

Wang the Celestial Being yawned and turned to leave.

Steal an supreme emperor artifact?

He was probably afraid he wouldn't die fast enough.

Today's young people have incredibly audacious ideas, even bolder than his own back in the day.

"Old geezer..."

Xie Weilou looked at Wang the Celestial Being's retreating figure, pouted, and walked in the other direction.

At the same time.

Imperial palace.

In a pavilion.

Marquis of Eight Desolations was playing chess with a middle-aged man dressed in golden imperial robes with a majestic face.

"He's overly cautious! But his courage is heaven-defying; to dare to covet the human emperor pagoda and the human emperor sword, he's not simple!"

The middle-aged man placed a chess piece, and couldn't help but chuckle. He was the current Human Emperor of the Eastern Wasteland Dynasty, his cultivation already at the Half-Saint realm.

Marquis of Eight Desolations smiled lightly, "It's good for young people to be a bit cautious when facing the unknown, and he probably didn't expect to meet that old Daoist, Wang the Celestial Being."

Uptown, every rustle of leaves was under the Human Emperor's surveillance. In this imperial palace, there was a mirror that could survey the entire city.

He had come to the imperial palace earlier to discuss this matter with the Human Emperor.

As long as he convinced this one, no matter how Xie Weilou acted, no ancestor would come forward to suppress him. The vast Eastern Wilderness City could entirely be left for Xie Weilou to stir up trouble himself.

However, that kid's luck was bad tonight; he met Wang the Celestial Being, that tricky old Daoist. From now on, the other party would certainly be much more cautious.

The Eastern Wilderness Human Emperor said, "Wang the Celestial Being is indeed terrifying. Without an ancestor coming out, no one in this Eastern Wasteland Dynasty is his match. Now that his lifespan is nearing its end, no one dares to provoke him."

A dying person is the most terrifying. Whoever dares to provoke them, they dare to fight to the death and drag you down with them. Since they're going to die anyway, they naturally fear nothing.

Marquis of Eight Desolations mused, "I feel that his departure from the Heaven Mending Sect this time is to enter the Immortal Tomb to seek a sliver of life."

The Eastern Wilderness Human Emperor lamented, "The path of the Great Dao is destined to be paved with bones. Every journey into a forbidden zone claims many lives."

As long as there are living beings, there will be a day when their lifespan nears its end. Even an existence as powerful as Wang the Celestial Being, who dominated the Eastern Wilderness with formidable means, can only desperately fight for that tiny sliver of life when his lifespan approaches, which is truly lamentable.

Marquis of Eight Desolations placed a piece, "Enough! Let's not talk about him. I'm very curious, if that kid Xie Weilou finds out that one of them is colluding with the Heavenly Hall, what will you do?"

Shi Qingxuan, Marquis Zhenyu, and Prince Qing are all not simple. They have formidable backgrounds and strong foundations, belonging to the core figures of the dynasty.

Especially Prince Qing, he is an imperial prince, their brother. If it's found that he is colluding with the Heavenly Hall, how will the Human Emperor handle this matter?

The Eastern Wilderness Human Emperor immediately placed another piece, "Since the establishment of the imperial family, the assassins of the Heavenly Hall have attacked members of the imperial family more than once. Not long ago, when Ye Tianjiao and Ye Lingxu were breaking through, they were even ambushed by the Heavenly Hall. The Heavenly Hall's reach is too long; it must be cut off! No matter who it is, as long as they collude with the Heavenly Hall, they will be executed without mercy!"

Xie Weilou is not the only one with a grudge against the Heavenly Hall.

It can be said that many of the Heavenly Talents of the Eastern Wilderness have encountered ambushes from the Heavenly Hall.

Only those who fight their way out of numerous ambushes, step by step, and stand until the end, are truly worthy of being called Heavenly Talents.
