Chapter 4044 He really struck it rich

The king of this Di people's kingdom is greedy and wants to rob us, but he doesn't know that he has already let the wolf into his house and led us to their lair. Since that's the case, we have no choice but to rob them back and let them know the consequences of offending us.

After scattering the approaching Di people's soldiers, the slovenly Taoist priest once again activated the Eastern Emperor Bell and smashed it violently towards the palace gate.

Every time the Eastern Emperor Bell struck the gate, the entire palace would shake violently.

After repeating this two or three times, the palace gate was indeed smashed open by the slovenly Taoist priest, Donghuang Zhong.

The disheveled Taoist priest waved at me impatiently, signaling me to hurry up and follow him inside to rob us...

So, the two of us sat on the perch again and charged straight into the main hall.

Inside the main hall, many soldiers from the Di people still blocked our way.

However, this time the person blocking our way was different. There was a general in golden armor in front of us. He looked like a master. He was holding a fishbone magic weapon that looked like a spear, which blocked our way.

As the giant serpent approached the general, it opened its mouth and a huge jet of water gushed out. The shrimp soldiers and crab generals behind the general were scattered and sent flying by the impact of the water, but the general remained unmoved. It seems that this person must have profound cultivation.

Upon seeing the general of the Di people blocking our way, the slovenly Taoist priest and I became serious and jumped off the divine beast, the centipede.

As soon as we landed, the voice of the Di general reached our ears: "How dare you! You killed so many Di people and still dare to break into the royal city. Today, we will kill you all."

His voice seemed to be transmitted into our minds through a secret telepathic connection; it's likely that this is how the Di people communicated underwater.

"Get out of the way if you don't want to die." I tried to respond, but I didn't open my mouth. I was just thinking these words. I didn't expect that the general would actually hear me.

He roared and charged towards me and the slovenly Taoist priest, brandishing his spear.

Seeing him use a spear, I also drew out my Heavenly Swamp Spear, just in time to practice with this thing.

In an instant, the magical artifacts in our hands clashed. Upon exchanging blows, I sensed that this person's cultivation level was similar to mine. After the exchange, we both took a step back.

It seems that the general of the Di people is not the strongest in the Di people.

The two strongest are currently fighting against Master Zhiqing and Zhang Qing'an.

Since our cultivation levels are similar, he's in for a rough time. I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve, and with the slovenly Taoist priest joining forces, dealing with him shouldn't be a problem.

In order to finish the battle quickly, I immediately activated the Eight-Foot Jade Orb, which floated above my head. The next moment, I joined forces with the slovenly Taoist priest and launched another attack on the general.

In this exchange, the general was overwhelmed. After only a few moves, my Heavenly Swamp Spear pierced his armor and sent him flying.

Then, the slovenly Taoist priest activated the Eastern Emperor Bell again, causing it to strike the general.

This impact caused the general to cough up a mouthful of blood.

While we were fighting the general, the Centipede was also fighting with the rest of the Di people, helping us resolve some of our troubles.

After being injured by the slovenly Taoist's Eastern Emperor Bell, the general immediately got up again and continued to charge towards us.

He was already injured, so he was no match for me and the slovenly Taoist priest. After a few moves, he was sent flying again. This time, before he could get up, the slovenly Taoist priest's lightning-struck wooden sword was already at his neck.

This body of water is strange. Before the slovenly Taoist priest opened his mouth, I heard him say, "Tell us where your king lives, or we'll kill you."

The general looked terrified, seemingly unwilling to speak.

I moved closer and stabbed his fish tail directly with the Heavenly Swamp Spear. Blood gushed out immediately. The general, in great pain, told us that their king was in the palace in front.

The slovenly Taoist priest grabbed the general and pulled him up, holding his magic sword to his neck, and made him lead us to their king.

Along the way, we took the general hostage and headed towards the palace ahead. Many Di soldiers came forward, but dared not make a move, because the general was already in our hands.

Thus, we passed through several rooms and arrived at a palace, where we saw the king and queen of the Di people sitting on a chair inlaid with jewels and pearls.

Upon seeing the chair, the slovenly Taoist's eyes lit up again; I reckon he'll try to take it with him soon.

When the king and queen saw us appear here with the general in our laps, they were terrified and immediately called for their guards to stop us.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were no match for us. In just a few moves, I sent them all flying.

Then, I moved swiftly, carrying the Heavenly Swamp Spear, and arrived beside the king. I thought this king was also a master, but who would have thought he was a good-for-nothing with no cultivation at all.

My Heavenly Swamp Spear was almost hitting his forehead when he was so frightened that he covered his head with both hands.

The slovenly Taoist priest waved his hand and delivered a chop to the general's neck, knocking him unconscious. He then went to the king's side, grabbed him by the collar, and immediately asked where the treasures of the Di people's kingdom were hidden.

The king of the Di people's kingdom, who had been quite arrogant before, was now trembling with fear at the sight of me and the slovenly Taoist priest, begging for mercy. He then led us toward another palace, ordering his soldiers to open a stone door. Behind that stone door lay countless pearls, agates, and red corals...

When the slovenly Taoist priest and I saw this room full of treasures, our eyes lit up. We were rich! We were really rich!

This trip to the Fire Domain was definitely worthwhile.

The slovenly Taoist priest kicked the Di people's king to the ground, waved at me, and gestured for me to hurry up and pack my things.

I took out the Dragon-Tiger Mirror and shone it on the treasures scattered on the ground. The treasures vanished instantly, all collected into the Dragon-Tiger Mirror.

After robbing these treasures, the slovenly Taoist priest dragged the Di king away from the place. Then I summoned the divine beast, the Centipede, and swam towards the surface of the water with the Di king.

When they got up there, the fighting was still raging. More and more Di soldiers surrounded Brother Gu and Zhang Qing'an, and countless corpses had appeared on the water.

"Stop it, all of you! Your king is in our hands!" the slovenly Taoist priest shouted.
