Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 346 Nezha and Ao Bing cause trouble in Xiqi

Lady Jiang, holding the little hands of Nezha and Ao Bing, walked through the corridors of the Prime Minister's residence. The servants in the mansion all cast curious glances at their mistress when she suddenly brought back two exquisitely beautiful children.

"Go and clean up the east wing, and prepare some pastries."

Madam Jiang gave the instructions, then turned to the two children with a kind smile, "From now on, this will be your home."

Ao Bing secretly pinched Nezha, his eyes questioning him. It was as if he were saying, "What are you planning?"
Nezha blinked and whispered, "Silly dragon, we need to sneak in so we can find Jiang Ziya!"

Just then, a commotion arose at the gate of the mansion. A white-haired old Taoist priest, surrounded by guards, strode in; it was none other than Jiang Ziya.

Upon seeing Jiang Ziya's return, Jiang Ma Shi greeted him with a beaming smile, holding Nezha and Ao Bing by the hand.

Jiang Ziya's gaze swept over the two children with lightning speed. Although his cultivation was shallow, he vaguely sensed that the two children were surrounded by a powerful spiritual aura.

Jiang Ma said with a smile, "This is a poor child I met on the street. His parents were both killed by that tyrannical Emperor Xin."

"Since we have no children of our own, why don't we keep them as our sons? It'll be a way to leave you some money for your old age..."

Before Jiang Mashi could finish speaking, Nezha suddenly broke free from Jiang Mashi's hand and rushed to Jiang Ziya in one stride.

He then directly asked Jiang Ziya, "Are you Jiang Ziya? We want revenge."

Jiang Ziya frowned slightly; he had just cast a divination yesterday. The divination indicated that a benefactor would soon come to his aid.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "Could the divination be coming true for these two children? If so, it would be a wonderful thing."

He was about to reach out and hug Nezha when Nezha suddenly attacked, punching Jiang Ziya directly in the face.

Don't let Nezha's small size fool you; his punches are incredibly powerful. With just one punch, he sent Jiang Ziya flying backward.

No matter what, Jiang Ziya was a cultivator, and he quickly adjusted his body, landing directly on the edge of the courtyard wall.

He had also taken out the peach wood sword that Zhen Yuanzi had given him. He glared at Nezha and Ao Bing and said, "Who exactly are you people?"

Nezha no longer concealed himself; his Hun Tian Ling (a magical ribbon) shot out like a dragon emerging from the sea, heading straight for Jiang Ziya's ear.

At the same time, he didn't forget to say, "You old bastard, I'm the one who's going to take your life."

Having said that, he leaped into the air on his fiery wheels, aiming his fire-tipped spear straight for Jiang Ziya's throat.

Seeing this, Ao Bing no longer concealed himself, and his halberd appeared in his hand. He then swept it directly towards the charging guards.

The sudden scene terrified Jiang Ma, causing her to collapse to the ground, her face turning deathly pale. A foul stench emanated from beneath her buttocks once more.

"Nezha spun in the air, his Fire-Tipped Spear knocking away Jiang Ziya's golden crown. He then spoke to Jiang Ma Shi with a look of disdain."

"Don't be afraid, Bingbing and I aren't here for you. We're just here to catch this old man."

Jiang Ziya, though startled, remained calm and bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence onto the peach wood sword. The sword immediately shone with golden light, accompanied by the sound of dragon roars.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ziya's cultivation level was too low. Even with the peach wood sword and the Bagua robe, he could only passively take a beating.

Furthermore, both Nezha and Ao Bing possessed innate spiritual treasures. This overwhelmed Jiang Ziya, leaving him no chance to retaliate.

Just as Jiang Ziya was about to become a prisoner of Nezha and Ao Bing, the cries of cranes suddenly echoed above Xiqi City. It turned out that Guang Chengzi had arrived on a crane, just in time to catch up with Jiang Ziya, who was being beaten helplessly by Nezha and Ao Bing.

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, Guang Chengzi couldn't just stand by and watch Jiang Ziya suffer at the hands of two little kids.

He immediately unleashed the Heaven-Turning Seal, smashing it down towards Nezha and Ao Bing. He also reminded Jiang Ziya to step aside to avoid suffering any undeserved harm.

Caught off guard, Nezha was struck by the aftershocks of the Heaven-Turning Seal, and immediately coughed up blood as he fell from the sky. Ao Bing quickly transformed into a hundred-zhang-long dragon to catch Nezha.

At the same time, he shouted loudly towards the direction of Sishui Pass, "Master, save me!"

Before he finished speaking, a wisp of blue cloud swept across the sky. The Immortal Taiyi had finally arrived at the most crucial moment.

"You two little devils, can't you just shut up for once? It's one thing to cause trouble at Sishui Pass, but now you've come all the way to Xiqi."

Nezha wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a grin, "Master, we just wanted to make a name for ourselves. To prove that your disciples are no less capable than Uncle Yu Ding."

Taiyi Zhenren had no time to listen to Nezha's flattery. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a gold brick and smashed it directly into Jiang Ziya's chest.

Guang Chengzi was worried about Jiang Ziya and disregarded everything else. He quickly flashed in front of Jiang Ziya and held his halberd horizontally in front of his chest.

Little did they know, Taiyi Zhenren was merely feinting. Seeing that Guang Chengzi had fallen for the trap, he immediately led Nezha and Ao Bing towards Sishui Pass.

Guang Chengzi didn't dare to give chase, and immediately asked Jiang Ziya if he was injured. At the same time, he didn't forget to put a pill into Jiang Ziya's mouth.

……

At this time, Zhang Guifang's army had arrived outside Sishui Pass. Han Rong personally led his men to welcome them at the city gate.

Upon seeing Han Rong come out to greet her, Zhang Guifang hurriedly dismounted and stepped forward to exchange greetings with Han Rong.

Han Rong greeted him with a smile, saying, "General Zhang, you've finally arrived. The Taoist masters have been waiting inside the pass for quite some time."

Han Rong and Zhang Guifang then headed towards Sishui Pass. As for the 100,000 troops that Zhang Guifang brought, Feng Lin was naturally responsible for arranging for them to set up camp on the spot.

After all, the military camps at Sishui Pass were limited and could not accommodate an army of 100,000. Therefore, they could only set up camp outside the city. This was merely a temporary stop, as they would soon be heading to Xiqi City.

Just as Han Rong and Zhang Guifang arrived at the General's Mansion, they saw Taiyi Zhenren descend from mid-air, carrying the badly injured Nezha in his arms.

Seeing the bloodstains on Nezha's lips, Han Rong hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Immortal Taiyi, what happened to little Nezha?"

Taiyi Zhenren sighed and said, "They destroyed the city walls of Sishui Pass, and I am afraid that I will punish them."

"So he ran to Xiqi City, wanting to capture Jiang Ziya alive to atone for his sins. But he encountered Guang Chengzi and was seriously injured by the Fan Tian Seal."

Just then, Jade Cauldron Immortal led Yang Jian and the others out of the General's Mansion. Yang Jian looked at Nezha and said...

“Junior Brother Nezha, you can be considered a hero for being able to withstand Guang Chengzi’s Heaven-Turning Seal.”

Nezha said with a magnanimous air, "If it weren't for Guang Chengzi's sneak attack, I would have given you the Heaven-Turning Seal..."

Before he could finish speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood, and his face turned deathly pale.
