Chapter 429 The Ownership of the Last Gourd

But who knew that when Zaohua finally saved the gourd vine from the brink of death, he heard Haotian say condescendingly: "I am here to pick the last gourd on the order of the Taoist Ancestor. Taoist, why don't you give me the last purple-black gourd!"

Originally, when the six mature gourds fell from the gourd vine, the gourd vine was already in a dying state, and the last immature purple-black gourd showed signs of shrinking after losing the supply of the gourd vine!

Although Haotian looked down on this gourd, due to Hongjun's order, Haotian had to prepare to step forward and pick the last gourd!

However, after seeing how fate saved the gourd vine, Haotian prepared to wait for the gourd vine to be revived by fate before coming out to pick peaches. After all, as long as the gourd vine survived, the last gourd would have a chance to mature!

As for whether fate would refuse, Haotian had never considered it. After all, his master was Hongjun. In the prehistoric world, apart from the three clan leaders of Qingqiu, who would not give him a face? Even if he was very angry about being picked, he could only bear it!

"How dare you! Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you order me around!"

As the newborn of the Green Lotus of Creation, Zaohua naturally inherited the cause and effect between the Primordial Chaos and the Green Lotus of Chaos. Now that he has escaped death, before he makes a big mistake, even the Heaven needs to give him some face!

Not to mention, in the past years, he had made contributions to the prehistoric world through his own efforts and gained a lot of merit from the Heavenly Dao, which made his already strong favor from the Heavenly Dao even higher!

How could a Taoist boy like Haotian, who relied on Hongjun's power and bullied others, be able to take advantage of the good fortune and luck created by fate? He was really not afraid of breaking his teeth!

As Hongjun's boy, Haotian was the closest person to Hongjun. In Haotian's opinion, bullying him was equivalent to bullying his master and slapping his master in the face. Therefore, after hearing the scolding from Creation, he scolded him sternly: "You are the one who is presumptuous! I am the boy of the Taoist Patriarch. How can a mere quasi-saint like you offend me!"

"Hmph! You're talking as if I don't have a powerful person to back me up. If you have the guts, go and complain to your master and ask him to come and cause trouble for us in Qingqiu! Besides, you came here on the orders of the saint, but that's just your own opinion. No one knows whether what you said is true or false. And I came here to save the gourd vine on the orders of the Soul Heavenly Lord. If you don't believe me, you can go into the Primal Chaos to ask!"

Hearing the name of Qingqiu, Haotian felt a little scalp tingling. As Hongjun's son, he naturally knew how powerful Qingqiu's merits and fortune were. If there was no deep hatred, his master would not be willing to provoke Qingqiu. After all, even with his master's identity and strength, after destroying Qingqiu, he would be severely punished by the Heavenly Dao, and it was unknown how much of his own strength he could retain!

Besides, his master has now become one with the Way of Heaven and a part of it. From now on, his actions must be based on the Way of Heaven and he cannot be partial to any personal interests. It would be extremely difficult to help him!

If Haotian's actions were in accordance with the Way of Heaven, perhaps Hongjun could still help him a little! But his current behavior of trying to pick peaches was already considered bullying. It was good enough that the Way of Heaven didn't punish him, let alone help him out!

Not to mention that innate spiritual treasures are meant for those who are destined to get them. Fate was able to revive the gourd vine, and its strength and background were stronger than his. To some extent, that gourd was more destined to Fate. He had no advantage in anything, so it was natural that he couldn't get the last gourd!

"So that's how it is, it's me, Meng Lang!"

Although Haotian has never seen Zaohua, Bai Zhen is now a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. As long as he is mentioned, Bai Zhen will feel it. Not to mention that Bai Zhen rarely appears in the public eye in the prehistoric world. Without some connections and strength, it is impossible to know who Bai Zhen is!

Few people know Bai Zhen, and anyone who cheats by relying on Bai Zhen's name will definitely be caught by Bai Zhen and sentenced to death. These two reasons lead to no one daring to cheat outside in Bai Zhen's name!

Therefore, since Zaohua said that he was acting on orders, he basically really acted on Bai Zhen's orders. This gourd was originally an opportunity that Hongjun told Haotian about. As for whether he could seize the opportunity, it all depended on Haotian's own luck!

Haotian knew very well that if Hongjun hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known about this opportunity at all! So in a sense, he was not the one who was destined to get the last gourd.

It was for this reason that Haotian planned to take advantage of Hongjun's power. What Haotian called "following orders" was actually to use Hongjun's prestige to intimidate others. Otherwise, with Haotian's current level of Daluo Jinxian, it would not be easy for him to obtain this gourd.

After all, even if this gourd is not mature, its grade can barely reach the top grade, and some of the powerful people watching the fun nearby are in urgent need of spiritual treasures to kill corpses!

Haotian's brain was working rapidly, and after comprehensive consideration, he finally decided to give up the gourd. Then Haotian said, "Since the gourd vine is more compatible with you, I won't force it. I'm leaving now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Haotian left quickly. As for the powerful people who were watching the show on the side, after seeing Haotian, the boy, retreat, they also understood that this so-called Soul Lord was a powerful person that even Haotian, the Taoist boy of Hongjun Saint, could not afford to offend!

All the powerful people at the scene were very interested in this kind of big shot. Most of the powerful people who had friends were there to transmit messages, hoping to get some information about the Soul Lord from their friends.

Unfortunately, most of the powerful beings only appeared during this catastrophe, and those who knew kept silent about Bai Zhen's information, which led to a long discussion among the powerful beings without any results! However, they did not intend to give up, but planned to leave Zhoushan and ask the old men who had survived the Longhan catastrophe to see if they could find any clues!

As for Di Jun, his eyes darkened after seeing Haotian retreat. Just when Di Jun was about to step forward to establish a relationship with him, he saw Zaohua transplant the gourd vine away with the roots and soil, and then left in a daze!

Di Jun felt extremely embarrassed, and his face was slapped. Just as Di Jun was about to leave, Nuwa stood up and said to Di Jun, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Di Jun and Fellow Daoist Tai Yi!"

Nuwa usually wanted to avoid the demon tribe, but now she took the initiative to stand out. There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. However, Di Jun decided to remain unchanged and wait and see what Nuwa is up to! Of course, if possible, Di Jun really wants to lure Nuwa to the demon tribe!
