32: Divide the spoils

About ten minutes ago, Nezha was still standing in front of the treasure vault, looking distressed!

The treasure vault in front of him indeed had a ridiculous mechanism, a perverted design that deterred many Master archers!

On the bowstring, three Zhentian Arrows simultaneously shone with dazzling, slightly blinding light.

Nezha pouted, thinking to himself, “It’s a good thing these Zhentian Arrows will return to the vicinity of the Qiankun Bow within three days after being shot, otherwise, I’d really be in a tough spot…”

One hundred meters, the distance wasn’t far, but the mechanism that required both front and back triggers to be activated simultaneously would make even Master archers like Li Guang and Yang Youji think twice.

But what kind of person is our Third Prince? He’s a fearless character, someone who’s always ready to rebel and fears nothing but peace. He’s also the type who never needs to plan anything he does!

Just do it, that’s a man’s true colors!

Taking a deep breath, a cold glint flashed in his eyes. Two Zhentian Arrows transformed into a long rainbow and shot towards the hole, which was only slightly thicker than a thumb. And the two arrows passed through the hole almost simultaneously.

And in that instant, Nezha, with an inconceivable speed, re-nocked an arrow and shot out the last Zhentian Arrow.

This arrow was more than ten times faster than the previous two. Its terrifying speed and power erupted almost instantly, catching up to the tail of one of the Zhentian Arrows passing through the hole. This arrow’s speed surged under the impact from behind, covering a hundred meters in the blink of an eye and slamming hard into the mechanism on the wall. Almost simultaneously, the tail feathers of the two Zhentian Arrows behind passed through the hole, sealing the tiny opening!

“Whew, is this considered a success?”

Nezha had just let out a sigh of relief when the stone platform beneath his feet rapidly retracted into the ground. Immediately after, a straight vertical beam of light suddenly appeared on the front of the treasure vault, and the two doors slowly retracted to the sides. The treasure vault door finally opened!

“Haha, I told you this young Master still has some accuracy! It’s done, it’s done, it’s really done this time!”

Nezha shouted excitedly, slung the Qiankun Bow onto his back, and dashed into the treasure vault.

As soon as he entered, he was immediately dumbfounded, because there were simply too many treasures and weapons inside.

“Is this Pigsy’s Nine-toothed Rake and Sha Wujing’s zen staff? Is that the Western Buddhist Realm’s Nine-leaf Lotus Platform? Oh, the Bodhisattva’s Jade Purification Vase? My old man’s Heavenly Gang Flying Dagger and Pagoda… And Old Lord’s Pill Furnace and Celestial Master Zhang’s Taiyi Tongtian Talisman? What’s that… Broad-Eyed Heavenly King’s Fire-Proof Cover? And the Wind-Fixing Pill? Hmm, why are they directly placed with the Palm Leaf Fan? Don’t you know this clashes? Do you guys even understand storage…”

The Magic Treasures of all the Heavenly Gods were all here!

Nezha grumbled and rubbed his hands excitedly. In a blink, he saw his Fire Tipped Spear and Wind Fire Wheels. With a soft summons, these two Magic Treasures appeared beside him as if teleporting, vibrating slightly, seemingly recounting the suffering of being imprisoned during this time.

The Third Prince was so happy he almost jumped for joy, but in an instant, he became troubled, because with so many weapons, what could he use to carry them with empty hands?

He turned his head, and a patched, tattered bag appeared in his sight.

“Heh heh, since this Magic Treasure is here too, it’ll be easy!”

Nezha recognized it; this thing was Maitreya of the Western Buddhist Realm’s Magic Treasure, the legendary Human Seed Bag!

“Haha, good thing I have this great Magic Treasure! Watch me move all these things for you!”

Nezha gritted his teeth and opened the bag, beginning to load various weapons and Magic Treasures into it. However, just as he had finished putting all his own Magic Treasures inside, there was a sudden tremor of the earth, followed by the wall at the back of the treasure vault tearing open like paper, and a gigantic, bizarre demon appeared before Nezha.

Nezha’s mind was filled with thoughts of treasures at that moment, how could he have expected such a fierce monster to appear? He panicked, first throwing the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda at hand into the bag, then grabbing a few more items haphazardly, and then turning to flee without a single backward glance. It wasn’t until he met Tang Ku and the others and heard the Monk’s reminder that he remembered he was no longer unarmed, and only then did he fight back.

Fortunately, this Gomora seemed powerful, but in reality, it was a weakling. Aside from its thick skin and defense reaching over 40 points, all its other attributes were below ten. The reason it could tear open the treasure vault was because Nezha’s rapid arrows had broken the mechanism and destroyed its Qi flow. If the treasure vault had been in its complete state, this thing wouldn’t have been able to break through!

“…Haha, that’s how it happened!”

Nezha said, stepping on Gomora’s charred body, “This thing is really tough. Even the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover couldn’t completely refine it. If one understood Artifact Refining, one could refine several top-notch defensive Magic Treasures using its Physical Body!”

“Besides what you have on you, what other Magic Treasures did you bring out? Hmm, why don’t we go back now and see if we can get all those treasures?”

Yang Jian said.

“Let’s see what’s in here first!”

Tang Ku poured out all the remaining treasures from the bag. Including what Nezha had on him, there were only about twenty items in total. Among them were the Nine-toothed Rake and Sha Monk’s ink zen staff.

Nezha, however, was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He grabbed the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, stuffed it into his embrace, and chuckled, “This one’s mine! You guys can slowly pick the rest!”

“You know how to use this thing?”

Tang Ku asked curiously, “Do you know the incantation?”

Before Nezha could speak, Yang Jian chuckled from the side, “Nezha is probably guarding against Heavenly King Li!”

“Exactly!” Nezha took out the Pagoda again to look at it, then pouted, “Before I rescue my dead old man, I have to hide this thing, lest he keeps using it to scare me every day. I’m so sick of it!”

“Oh, is this the Exquisite Pagoda Master spoke of? Hmm, it truly is a rare Magic Treasure… Master said that when Dipamkara Buddha gave it to Heavenly King Li back then, it was used to subdue Nezha. This is called the Wind Fire Wheels…”

Tang Ku suddenly slapped Shi Jingmo on the back, signaling him to shut up. Didn’t he see Nezha’s face had already fallen? This thing could easily affect unity!

“It’s alright, I’m used to it now!” Nezha threw all the Magic Treasures to his remaining six arms, then made them disappear, and smiled faintly, “Those past events, I should have let them go long ago. I actually had many faults myself and caused my old man a lot of trouble… Sigh, I would never have had these thoughts before, but now…”

“This is called being moved by the scene!”

Tang Ku put his hands together and said, “The Third Prince’s nature is still kind, otherwise he wouldn’t have thought of this… Let’s divide these treasures among ourselves and see which ones are useful to us. Then we can go back to that treasure vault and take a look!”

As if dividing spoils on the spot, the few of them distributed these items cleanly, then walked towards the treasure vault again.

What they didn’t notice was that not far from the battlefield, an extremely burly figure was slowly dragging another body, walking towards their direction, and on his head, he had a pair of bull horns!
