Hu Le received more than ten treasures in succession, and the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.
"Enough!"
"Young master! That's enough! Please stop! If you keep taking it, it'll be empty. How am I supposed to explain this to His Majesty then?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le glanced sideways, his hands moving without stopping, and then he collected another ball of spiritual light.
"These are all my teacher's things. What's wrong with me, as his disciple, lending him a little bit..."
"Besides, this is a matter between us, master and disciple, so why should you explain it to me?"
As he spoke, he reached out and took two more items.
Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was utterly speechless with despair.
He is the guardian of the treasure trove. Hu Le has taken so many treasures from him. His Majesty Taiyi may not punish his disciple, but he may not let Hu Le off the hook.
He really didn't want to experience the legendary punishment of being distracted...
Thinking of this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord could no longer resist and reached out to grab Hu Le's arm.
Hu Le swayed and dodged to the side. At the same time, he stepped forward, grabbed a ball of spiritual light from the treasure platform, and put it into the gourd with a thought.
Seeing that Xianbao Tianju was relentlessly pursuing them, he flashed around the jade platform again, taking away several more treasures in the process.
Suddenly, the treasure platform appeared much emptier.
"Wow!"
"Young master, please don't force me!"
Enraged, Xianbao Tianju raised his hand and a massive hand of primordial energy flew out, blotting out the sky as it reached for Hu Le.
"This is the Innate Qi Capture Technique!"
"You old man, you do have some special abilities!"
Hu Le let out a strange cry, and without engaging with the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord, he stamped his feet and transformed into a streak of starlight, darting away to avoid the grasping hand.
Wherever Hu Le went, he swept up all the treasures on the two rows of wooden shelves before rushing out of the light gate with a whoosh.
This young master!
They've already left, yet they still managed to steal something; it's simply outrageous.
What kind of disciple has His Majesty Taiyi taken in?!
Enraged, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord stomped his feet and hurriedly chased after him.
Hu Le did not leave immediately, but instead took a step and slipped behind another door.
A quick glance around revealed that the layout here was very similar to the treasure room from before, with many treasures displayed in the same way.
The only difference is that the treasure room just now contained all sorts of innate or even primordial spiritual objects.
This room was filled with all sorts of weapons.
Rows of swords, spears, halberds, axes, hooks, and forks gleamed brightly, radiating a chilling aura.
Surrounded by a multitude of weapons, even someone as skilled as Hu Le felt a chill run down his spine and couldn't help but shiver...
"Young master! What brings you here again?"
At this moment, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord also caught up.
Hu Le didn't dare to waste any time. He raised his hand and grabbed a dozen weapons instantly, activating his supernatural power, "Universe in the Palm."
Just then, he suddenly felt a huge force of repulsion surge in, his vision blurred, the surrounding void reversed, and he was instantly teleported out of the treasure vault.
It turned out that the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord finally couldn't resist activating the restrictions within the formation and forcibly sent Hu Le away.
Otherwise, he feared that if they delayed any longer, Hu Le would dare to empty the treasure vault...
After Hu Le came out, he stood there and was cooled down by the breeze.
ah!
What did I just do?!
At this moment, after regaining his senses, he clapped his hands. He had been so dazzled by the treasure that he had done such a thing.
This is absolutely shameful!
It's as if he, Mr. Hu, has never seen anything good before...
In truth, deep down, he was only acting so recklessly because of his relationship with Donghuang Taiyi.
If someone else were sitting on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor, let's see if he would still dare to do this...
Just as he was secretly blaming himself, he caught a glimpse of the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord chasing after him again.
Without saying a word, he turned and left.
"Young master! Wait..."
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord chased after them, shouting all the way.
Hu Le curled his lip indifferently, then suddenly leaped into the air, his figure transforming into a streak of starlight and speeding away...
snort!
How could Mr. Hu possibly spit out the meat he had already eaten?
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was also persistent, riding on cloud light to chase after it wildly at the back door.
Perhaps it was because of his duty that he had to do it.
However, despite his best efforts to catch up, his speed was clearly no match for Hu Le's, and before long, the distance between them actually grew further and further.
Even so, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord did not give up and continued to pursue the matter relentlessly.
Hu Le was helpless; he was in the wrong, and he couldn't very well actually fight with them.
So, instead of returning to Yaochi, he flew away from the Heavenly Palace on his escape light and headed towards the South Heavenly Gate.
"stop!"
The guards immediately blocked his way.
Left with no other choice, Hu Le had to disperse his escape light and reveal his true form.
Because the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was chasing closely behind, he was unwilling to get entangled with the divine generals in front of him any longer.
He simply waved the golden token in front of everyone and shouted, "I am a disciple personally taught by His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor. I am here on official business in the mortal realm. You all must make way at once!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd glanced at the gold medal again, then apologized and scattered to make way for them.
"Don't let that person get away!"
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord had already caught up and was shouting loudly from behind.
Hu Le's expression changed slightly. While everyone was still stunned, he took a step and rushed out of the Southern Heavenly Gate, flying towards the Primordial Continent...
He just stole so many treasures. If his teacher Taiichi finds out, not only will the treasures have to be returned, but he might also be punished.
Let's leave Heaven now, go to the mortal realm to lay low for a while, and wait until our teacher calms down before making any further plans...
Hu Le rode the escape light and flew swiftly down, passing through the fierce winds and clouds, finally stopping at the foot of Zhou Mountain.
He glanced up at the sky and saw that the Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures was flying towards him on auspicious clouds.
This time, he did not continue to run away.
There has to be a resolution eventually; what's the point of continuing this pursuit indefinitely?
The Heavenly Lord of Offering Treasures descended upon Hu Le a few feet away, scattering auspicious clouds with a wave of his hand.
"Young master! Please, come back with me. As long as you return the treasure, I will pretend this never happened and will never utter a word about it."
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord quickly walked up to Hu Le and earnestly advised him.
Seeing that the Treasure-Presenting Heavenly Lord looked miserable, Hu Le knew he was probably faking it, but he still felt a little embarrassed.
After all, what he did was indeed somewhat unethical.
If this gets out, the old man will definitely be implicated and suffer the consequences...
Thinking of all this, Hu Le bowed slightly. "Fellow Daoist Xianbao, things have come to this point. Do you really expect me to return the item? Let me give you a piece of advice: instead of continuing to pursue me, you should think of another way to cover this up."
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was both angry and amused. So many treasures were missing from the treasury! Did he really think everyone was blind?
So he said irritably, "Young master, you make it sound so easy. Then please tell me, how do you cover up such a thing?"
...
Just as the two were entangled in their argument, Taiyi in the Heavenly Court saw Fuxi off and sat back in his palace. He felt a vague unease in his heart, and his brows furrowed slightly.
"What a wicked disciple!"
Taiyi calculated for a moment and understood what Hu Le had done.
He couldn't help but laugh in exasperation, so he reached for a celestial jujube from the jade plate on the table and tossed it towards the mortal realm...
