Your Majesty, Please Stop!

Chapter 167: Stealing from One Home to Another

Entering the Half Step Small Great Master countdown: 4 days.

Xiaoqing Mountain.

At the entrance of the Gu Cang Sect.

Six disciples guarding the gate have been sent flying, spitting blood and falling to the ground.

"I am Xin Zhuo, here to steal from your home!"

"You don't understand stealing? Then I'll destroy your home!"

Xin Zhuo held the tattered and broken folding golden spear that belonged to the former owner, Song Dongxi. Even in his dreams, Song Dongxi would never have imagined that this spear could cause such a sensation. With unparalleled momentum and the True Qi of the Profound Ice Thunder, Xin Zhuo smashed through the mountain gate and charged towards the sect.

The Great Hall of Transmission, smashed!

The Hall of Cultivation, smashed!

The Library, smashed!

The anger of the hundreds of Gu Cang Sect elders and disciples was beyond measure. They rushed forward like the Lingjian Sect, disregarding their own lives, trying to stop Xin Zhuo.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

One figure after another spat blood and flew back.

There was no place to stand!

Even if they wanted to use the tactic of overwhelming him with numbers, it wouldn't work. That demon's footwork was strange and unpredictable. He would suddenly disappear and reappear, making it impossible to predict where he would appear next.

After half an hour, the entire Gu Cang Sect was in ruins, with chaos everywhere.

Xin Zhuo left freely!

Shortly after, the Head Teacher of the Gu Cang Sect and the Sect Master of the Heshan Sect arrived. They looked at the broken mountain gate, and the Head Teacher of the Gu Cang Sect couldn't help but cry out in despair, "If I don't kill this person in this lifetime, how can I face others? Chase after him!"

Without wasting any words, the two of them swiftly moved and chased after Xin Zhuo in the distance.

After half an hour of pursuit, Xin Zhuo's figure was nowhere to be seen. The Sect Master of the Heshan Sect suddenly had a change in expression and said, "That kid probably knows that we have split up. He's afraid that he has already gone to set a trap at the gate of our Heshan Sect. Why waste our energy chasing along the way? We might as well go and wait for him there. Even if we lose track of him, there's still the Shaolin's Master Ku Jing chasing after him. If we lose him, it's not our responsibility!"

The Head Teacher of the Gu Cang Sect pondered for a moment and nodded, "Alright!"

The two turned around and took a shortcut to the Heshan Sect.

Just an hour after the two of them left the Gu Cang Sect, a group of cavalry and imperial officials arrived at the Gu Cang Sect. They looked around and were greatly surprised. What had happened here?

Today was indeed unusual.

But they still said the old saying, "Let it be known that Xin Zhuo is a member of the royal family, the Crown Prince of the Western Qin County, traveling the world. The Town Martial Bureau has withdrawn the order to kill him. Your sect should stop pursuing him to avoid causing trouble..."

The elders of the Gu Cang Sect were filled with anger and confusion. Their heads were spinning. "Enough! Stop talking nonsense... Oh, the Crown Prince of the Western Qin County? We... we understand..."

"As long as you understand!"

The imperial officials hurriedly left with their men and headed to the next Heshan Sect.

...

Entering the Half Step Small Great Master countdown: 1.

In the wilderness outside the gate of the Heshan Sect, a ragged figure lay hidden among the water grass and thorns, with only a pair of eyes exposed.

Xin Zhuo naturally didn't naively think that he could smash through two mountain gates and the four Half Step Small Great Master experts chasing after him would be fools, only knowing how to chase and not how to split up and intercept.

If he were in their shoes, he wouldn't have done such a stupid thing either!

Moreover, he still didn't know where that possible Small Great Master or other experts might appear.

The reason he dared to act so recklessly was that, first, his Qinggong was indeed clever, and second, he had the paper talisman from Master Li as a reliance. At least, it could withstand one Small Great Master!

Since everyone was determined to fight to the death, what was there to fear for a soon-to-be Half Step Small Great Master like him?

At this moment, he had no True Qi left. He had swum for an hour from the upstream creek, and although he couldn't completely conceal his aura, he could at least confuse their senses and make them take a detour, buying him some time.

Will the Heshan Sect attack or not? We still need to observe.

Then he saw a big monk with a long beard.

The Heshan Sect is not a sect of monks, so it's unlikely for a monk to appear easily. This monk's aura is very elusive. Could it be the one who is chasing after the young Great Master of the Shaolin Sect?

...

"Why are you all here too?"

Inside the gate of the Heshan Sect, everything was normal. The disciples were walking around and doing their tasks without any apparent changes. However, in a hidden small room in a corner of the side hall, Zhao Ling and the other three suppressed their auras and stared intently outside.

The Head Teacher of the Gu Cang Sect lowered his voice: "He destroyed my Gu Cang Sect. The two of us chased after him for a while, and it seems that he was indeed heading in this direction. Since we couldn't catch up, there's no need to waste our energy. Let's take a shortcut and return in advance. The four of us should be able to take him down easily. There can't possibly be another cliff with vines here!"

The Elder of the Wudang Sect pondered for a moment and couldn't help but sigh: "You guys are confused. What if that kid only vented his anger on the two sects and won't come here? How will it end then?"

The Head Teacher of the Gu Cang Sect and the Sect Master of the Heshan Sect exchanged a glance, feeling somewhat helpless. Indeed, that kid's lightness technique is truly extraordinary. If they continue to chase him day and night, even immortals would grow tired.

The old woman, the Sect Master of the Heshan Sect, sighed: "In any case, there's still the quiet Grand Master of the Shaolin Sect. It shouldn't be a problem. The quiet Grand Master is known for his decisive actions. He must be hiding somewhere, waiting for the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to that kid!"

The four of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, they saw a figure flash ghostly and hide in the darkness, looking out. A bald head, long beard, who else could it be if not the quiet Grand Master?

The quiet Grand Master also noticed the four of them.

The five of them looked at each other, blinked their eyes, and felt somewhat confused.

Zhao Ling took the lead and asked, "Why are you here, Grand Master?"

"Why are you all here instead of chasing after that kid?" the quiet Grand Master asked.

The quiet Grand Master stroked his beard, looking surprised, "Could it be that you lost track of him?"

Zhao Ling and the other three sighed. Great, they collectively lost track of him. They immediately recounted what had happened in the past few days.

Then, the Elder of the Wudang Sect asked in confusion, "So much time has passed, why did the quiet Grand Master only arrive now?"

The quiet Grand Master found it difficult to speak and fell silent for a moment. "Shaolin received an order from the Zhenwu Bureau. I set off immediately, but I heard that Zhao Ling, the Sect Master, had already started investigating, and the other three had gone to intercept him.

Later, I heard that the thief was extremely skilled in Qinggong and managed to escape. It would be a waste of time to chase after him. I made a decisive decision and guessed that he would return to his hometown on Fulong Mountain, as it is a common occurrence for people in the mortal world to return home when they have nowhere else to go.

So I went ahead and ambushed at Fulong Mountain, but there was no trace of him for several days. I had no choice but to return the same way. I also heard that the Lingjian Sect and the Gu Cang Sect had been destroyed by that thief.

I suspect that he is using diversionary tactics, so I specifically came to ambush at the Heshan Sect. I didn't expect that the four of you would also have the same plan!"

Zhao Ling and the other three looked at each other in silence. The quiet Grand Master was indeed decisive, and his words made sense. However, that kid was not playing by the rules at all.

What could they do?

Just as the five of them were silent, a chaotic scolding suddenly came from outside.

"He's here!"

The five of them looked out at the same time, and sure enough, that kid had arrived!

They saw him dripping wet, having already knocked away several disciples guarding the gate, and he entered the sect with a long spear. The vigilant elders of the Heshan Sect had also surrounded him.

"Should we attack?" Zhao Ling's face showed a hint of ruthlessness.

The quiet Grand Master calmly said, "Wait! Since he dares to come, he probably didn't expect us to be here. When he reaches this side hall and gets closer, the five of us will attack together, not giving him any chance to survive!"

"Alright!"

The five of them held their breaths and stared intently outside.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, that kid suddenly froze and angrily said, "There's actually an ambush! This is outrageous!"

He turned around and ran, disappearing in a flash, appearing again in the blink of an eye. His speed was terrifying.

"This cunning kid! Chase after him!"

Feeling like they had missed a great opportunity, the five of them angrily rushed out and chased after him.
