The Investiture: Unlimited Blade Works Nezha-Chapter 265 - 264 You go and eliminate Sun Wukong and his disciples!

Chapter 265: Chapter 264 You go and eliminate Sun Wukong and his disciples!

Nuwa’s response was actually quite understandable—Luo Hou could no longer keep pace with the Daoist Ancestor, so naturally, his karmic ties would have to be settled by you, his disciples and descendants.

As disciples of the Saints, you enjoy the best resources, cultivate with the best techniques, receive the best protection, and hold the most esteemed positions—how could there possibly be no price to pay?

Having said this, Nuwa even praised Nezha for being brave... well, brave.

At the time, there were other Mystic Sect disciples present, but the only one who dared to step forward and speak was Nezha. Indeed, this brought great honor to Nuwa.

...

After sending Luo Hou off, Nezha returned to the Heavenly Court under the reverent gazes of all the immortals and gods.

Previously, some people had thought Nezha had relied on his connections to sneak his way into the position of Emperor Ziwei. Now, anyone who saw Nezha could only say one word: respect.

After all, even though Luo Hou only unleashed a single sword strike, the ferocity of it was glaringly obvious. Say what you will, but at least Nezha was braver than Hao Tian!

Once the immortals returned to the Palace of the Polestar, Hao Tian maintained his usual expression. The immortals, none of whom were fools, also kept their thoughts to themselves, not letting anything slip outwardly.

Hao Tian offered some words of encouragement to the gods and immortals, then posed a very serious question: why had Luo Hou been resurrected?

Matters like this couldn’t simply be investigated; after all, Luo Hou had once contended with the Daoist Ancestor. How many contingencies he had prepared was anyone’s guess.

Even if Conan himself were here, it wouldn’t help.

However, some mystical methods could still be tried. Hao Tian fully activated the Hao Tian Mirror, enhancing it with the Heavenly Emperor’s authority, and soon they had a lead.

The investigation pointed toward two locations: the Longevity Star Palace in the Heavenly Court and the Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain.

This left all the gods dumbfounded. How was this matter related to Yuanshi Tianzun?!

Since this incident involved demonic entities, Hao Tian finally got serious, immediately ordering that the Longevity Star be brought to the hall. The task fell upon two of Jiang Ziya’s disciples, the Hall Commanders Wu Ji and Long Xuhu. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Hmm, it was quite an absurd command.

The position of Hall Commander was high, but their cultivation... not so much.

Sending two Earth Immortals to bring back a Quasi-Saint—even though this Quasi-Saint was a health-obsessed recluse unskilled in combat—was laughable.

Wu Ji, being more thoughtful, recognized that the Longevity Star was actually his martial uncle, Nanji Immortal Elder, and felt quite conflicted.

Long Xuhu, on the other hand, simply did as he was told. He got up and left, his entire demeanor exuding the word "fearless."

Helpless, Wu Ji had no choice but to follow suit.

But alas, how could the two of them possibly capture the Nanji Immortal Elder?

By the time they arrived at the Longevity Star Palace, it was completely empty—Nanji Immortal Elder’s Good Corpse, the Longevity Star, had long since fled back to Kunlun Mountain!

Nanji Immortal Elder had sensed it the moment Hao Tian Mirror investigated him. Initially perplexed, he then employed the Mystic Sect Immortals’ go-to move in times of crisis: calculating with his fingers.

What he deduced was dire. Rising from his meditation in Yuxu Palace, Nanji Immortal Elder rushed to check the place where he stored his accumulated longevity. The originally gentle, golden-green radiance in the vessel had turned into a cloud of black mist.

Nanji Immortal Elder’s vision went dark. This was the accumulation of countless Yuan Hui!

He knew exactly what kind of power his Path of Fortune and Longevity contained. Connecting this to the resurrection of Luo Hou in the Heavenly Court and the disappearance of Shen Gongbao, he quickly pieced things together with near-perfect accuracy.

This was a massive problem.

Though he was the victim of theft, he had, in effect, aided Luo Hou’s resurrection. In the Mystic Sect, this was a grave taboo.

Moreover, the very items he had refined were considered contraband in the Primordial Era.

After much contemplation, he summoned his Good Corpse back and secluded himself in Yuxu Palace, refusing to see anyone.

The Longevity Star had fled.

The two Hall Commanders returned empty-handed.

Hao Tian’s face turned exceptionally grim. He had failed to make a good impression when Luo Hou appeared, and now he had captured absolutely nothing in pursuit of the culprit. He could already imagine the expression on his superior’s face.

He then looked toward Randeng.

Randeng remained calm and unbothered, as if he had no connection whatsoever to the Nanji Immortal Elder.

"True Monarch of the Xuan Altar, might you journey to Kunlun and bring back the Longevity Star to clarify the cause and effect?"

Being called out directly, Randeng couldn’t feign ignorance any longer. After saluting, he said, "This humble Daoist is, of course, willing to share Your Majesty’s burden. However, given my meager cultivation, I fear it may take a substantial amount of time to reach Kunlun."

Hao Tian’s expression darkened further. He then shifted his gaze to the other gods and immortals, who were practically scrambling to hide behind the jade pillars, not daring to show their faces.

In the end, he remembered his old comrade, Taibai Gold Star.

"Taibai, you are to visit Yuxu Palace and bring Nanji Immortal Elder, the suspect, back to the Heavenly Court to face judgment!"

Taibai Gold Star’s body began to tremble.

What?!

I’m supposed to go to Yuxu Palace and bring back Yuanshi Tianzun’s top disciple, the Second Corpse Quasi-Saint Nanji Immortal Elder?

Have you drunk too much, Your Majesty?

How could you spout such nonsense?

Nezha, sitting to the side, immediately conjured in his mind a meme from his past life: "Go and eliminate the disciples of Sun Wukong!" His face flushed red as he struggled to hold in his laughter.

Taibai Gold Star cursed inwardly but couldn’t disobey Hao Tian’s order. After all, he still had to carve out a living in the Heavenly Court. Helpless, he cast a pleading look at Nezha.

Nezha, despite his deep-seated disputes with Hao Tian, was no fool.

In the Primordial Era, eliminating demonic entities was the ultimate act of political correctness. Moreover, he harbored significant grudges against Nanji Lao Deng and had long disliked that old bastard, though he hadn’t had an opportunity to deal with him.

Now was the perfect chance to kick him while he was down.

"Your Majesty, I have longstanding ties with the Chan Sect and am well-acquainted with Senior Brother Nanji. Why not let me accompany Lord Taibai on this mission?"

Before Hao Tian could react, the other immortals were already casting admiring glances at Nezha.

They had no knowledge of the disputes between Nezha and Hao Tian, nor between Nezha and Nanji Immortal Elder. They only saw this as a perilous task.

From their perspective, it was evident that Hao Tian was singling out Taibai Gold Star. For Nezha to step up and take on the burden for his subordinate, it was the epitome of leadership.

After all, who wouldn’t want a leader who was willing to take responsibility?

A Golden Immortal heading to Yuxu Palace to apprehend a Second Corpse Quasi-Saint...

Nezha, as Emperor Ziwei, was great beyond words!

Nezha, unaware of their thoughts, saw the matter as not overly dangerous. And as for offending Yuanshi Tianzun?

It was a matter of principle, not personal enmity. Outwardly, it might seem like the Heavenly Court was backing Nezha, but in truth, the Daoist Ancestor himself was supporting him. Taibai Gold Star might be small fry, but Nezha had just recently declared himself a grand-disciple of the Daoist Ancestor.

Seeing as there were no other solutions, Hao Tian could only nod in agreement.

"Fine. But remember, this is your choice—don’t expect any rewards from me."

Nezha deciphered Hao Tian’s meaning and mentally grumbled, "Stingy," before taking Taibai Gold Star with him on the mission to Kunlun Mountain.

This time, Nezha decided not to make a show of it. He deemed it unnecessary and knew that flaunting himself before Yuanshi Tianzun was a guaranteed way to court disaster.

After all, he never forgot that he was merely a Golden Immortal.

Taibai Gold Star was deeply touched along the way. To him, as a mere minor Star Lord, if a Kunlun disciple in a fit of rage decided to strike him down, he wouldn’t even have grounds to complain.

Regardless of what happened next, his death would amount to nothing.

Taibai Gold Star wasn’t slow, but compared to Nezha’s current speed, he was dreadfully sluggish.

Exasperated, Nezha simply grabbed him and sped off, reaching Kunlun Mountain’s Yuxu Palace in just three days.
