I, the poor monk Tang San, buried the sky, buried the earth, buried all living beings

“…I can’t catch up!”

Looking at the wailing aquatic creatures and a group of immortal soldiers all over the ground, Yang Jian, who had just returned, smiled bitterly.

"Damn it! How could someone have intercepted me?" Nezha slammed his fist on the ground. "Could it be that the news leaked?"

"It's hard to say!" Lao Niu suddenly stroked his chin and said in a deep voice, "There are only a few of us who know this news. If the news leaked, then one of us must be a spy sent by the enemy!"

"What did you say?" Nezha suddenly became anxious. "The True Lord and I have known each other for a long time. If you say you are an enemy spy, you are the first one to be suspected!"

Lao Niu was stunned, then he touched his nose and sneered, "Third Prince is right. Why don't you kill Lao Niu right now? I wouldn't be a man if I moved!"

“I… hum…”

Nezha finally came to his senses, realizing that he had spoken rashly, and muttered, "That's not what I meant!"

"Alright, now's not the time for internal strife!" Yang Jian knew that the trust they had worked so hard to build up must not be destroyed by such a small matter. He said in a deep voice, "There's no point in pursuing these things... Well, remember that technologically-inspired fly the holy monk brought out? It's very likely that the other party used similar methods to collect our information, otherwise they wouldn't be faster than us..."

The other two fell silent. Suddenly, the Bull Demon King slapped his thigh and exclaimed in surprise, "Not good!"

The two immediately turned their gazes towards him, only to see the Bull Demon King frantically calling over the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, and beckoning the two to get on board. His expression was serious as he said, "Come up quickly, I'll tell you on the way..."

Yang Jian seemed to have thought of something and pulled Nezha onto the beast's back.

"...Since they know we'll be coming to the East China Sea, then the other three Dragon Palaces..."

The old cow urged the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast to move forward in the water at the fastest speed, while expressing his thoughts as briefly as possible.

"That's right. Since they're coming for the Saint's treasure, the others must be their targets as well. We need to hurry!"

Yang Jian said in a deep voice.

The water-avoiding golden-eyed beast suddenly accelerated, and all the surrounding scenery was rapidly retreating. The magnificent scene was like coming into a time tunnel, bizarre and strange.

At this moment, Nezha was looking at the surrounding environment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he stabbed the fire spear at the side of the old cow, all the way out of the protection range of the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast.

Although Lao Niu was startled, he remained motionless. He knew that Nezha's shot was not aimed at him.

Swish!

Nezha brought back a tiny silver fish by inserting it into his fire spear, and it was struggling constantly.

"There's something wrong with this fish!" Nezha said in a deep voice. "Just now, when we passed through the school of fish, with the speed of the Water-Dodge Golden-Eyed Beast, the other fish couldn't keep up. But this one fish in the school actually followed us closely!"

"Is this also a technological creation? Such a small one?"

Lao Niu grabbed the fish and frowned slightly. "Well, it's not powered by Samadhi True Fire. There's something else in its body that seems to be related to the magic power of the seabed. I don't know what it is!"

As he spoke, he crushed the thing in one hand and said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful. If you see anything suspicious again, destroy it immediately... I suspect this thing revealed our whereabouts."

The three of them were in a heavy mood and observed the surrounding situation carefully. Soon the golden-eyed beast flew to the gate of the North Sea Dragon Palace. Just as they were about to enter the gate of the Dragon Palace, a figure suddenly appeared beside the Dragon Palace. It was the Nine-headed Insect.

Nezha gnashed his teeth in hatred, and was about to charge forward with his flaming spear in hand, but was stopped by Yang Jian, who said in a deep voice, "You go in and find the treasure, and leave this guy to me and the Great Sage of Peace!"

After hesitating for a moment, Nezha finally understood the priorities and rushed directly into the Dragon Palace.

When the Nine-headed Insect saw the figures of several people, his heart trembled. He was about to turn around and escape, but suddenly he remembered the order given to him by his master. He swallowed his saliva and still rushed towards the other direction of the Dragon Palace.

He knew that although the Dragon Palace covered an extremely large area, it had several palace gates. As long as he found one, he could get in. With his speed, he might be able to find the treasure first.

However, the Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast was no slower than him when it exerted its full strength. Yang Jian and Bull Demon King had already prepared for the battle. The Water-avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast followed them all the way and soon caught up with this guy.

Unexpectedly, the Nine-Headed Insect was very cunning. When it was about to enter from the south gate, it found that Yang Jian and his men had already caught up with it. It panicked and immediately turned around and flew towards the west gate again. It thought to itself: "Although I may not lose to them in a fight, if I really enter the palace, the area is too narrow and I won't be able to use my full strength..."

Therefore, several people chased and fled, and started circling here.

Yang Jian and Bull Demon King didn't intend to fight this guy to death. They just wanted to stop him and prevent him from disturbing Nezha.

After going around almost a full circle, they returned to the east gate where they had just arrived. Just then, Nezha came out of the Dragon Palace holding a golden object in his hand and ran into the Nine-Headed Insect head-on.

Nezha was furious and stabbed forward with the flaming spear in his hand without thinking. At the same time, the three-headed and eight-armed monster appeared, and the circle of heaven and earth turned into countless phantoms in an instant, smashing hard on the back of the neck of the Nine-headed Insect.

boom!

The Nine-headed Insect staggered and fell heavily to the ground. At the same time, a head that looked like a dragon but was not a dragon suddenly popped out from its back and bit the Fire Spear hard, thus avoiding the fate of being pierced by a hole. However, the Fire Spear was filled with Samadhi True Fire. The moment the flame erupted, it burned him so much that he let go of his mouth. This thing was really slippery. It turned into a rainbow light at the fastest speed and disappeared before his eyes.

"Damn it, he let this guy get away again!"

Nezha said angrily.

"Don't worry about him. Let's set off once we get the stuff. Don't let the last one fall into the hands of the other party..." Yang Jian dragged Nezha onto the water-avoiding golden-eyed beast again, and they flew towards the last stop, the West Sea.

"I think we should talk to the holy monk!"

Yang Jian took out the communication token and said, "If something unexpected happens here, there's no telling if someone might stop us there... If neither side is clear about the situation, it could easily lead to information errors and ultimately cause mission failure!"

"Shh!"

A ray of light suddenly flashed out, and Tang Ku's figure appeared, but judging from the situation, the jade plate was shaking violently, and his figure sometimes even appeared outside the jade plate, crooked.

"Holy Monk...something's wrong here..."

Yang Jian briefly explained what had happened to Tang Ku, and concluded by saying, "The enemy must be using the technological artifacts you mentioned to obtain intelligence, so you should be careful there too. You might run into a powerful foe!"

"Oh, so that's it!" Tang Ku seemed to look back, then curled his lips and said, "It seems that I have met my opponent. He is indeed very strong!"
