Chapter 424: Heading to Buzhou Mountain
As expected, after a while, the space slowly condensed into the shape of a Qilin Beast. Looking at Ye Tian and the others, it said, "Indeed, I still couldn't deceive you."
"You actually aren't dead? How did you do it?"
"I told you, I am the master of this space. Since that's the case, how could I possibly be killed by you? I admit you have some strength, but if you think you can kill me here, that's absolutely impossible."
At this moment, Meng Po frowned slightly as if she had figured out the issue. The Qilin Beast was a product of this space, meaning that as long as the space remained intact, it fundamentally couldn't be destroyed.
It was one with this space—any destruction would be temporary at best. At this moment, Meng Po smiled and said, "It seems you truly are the master of this space. But don't forget, if I could eliminate you once, I can do it again. Do you really want to keep dying over and over?"
"This..."
The Qilin Beast hesitated. Ye Tian then said, "Exactly. I think you should just comply because holding on is meaningless."
"But—"
"No buts. Let's just lift this seal!"
"No! I am the guardian beast of this place. Unless you defeat me, I will never allow you to break this memory seal!"
Hearing this, Meng Po chuckled, "Is that all? For me, this is a piece of cake."
Ye Tian looked at Meng Po and asked, "Really that easy?"
"Don't worry. For me, it's just a flick of the wrist."
As soon as she finished speaking, an immense force sent the Qilin Beast flying. At that moment, a cage descended from the sky, trapping the beast inside.
Ye Tian was shocked—how did she do that?
Even he couldn't accomplish such a feat, yet she did it so effortlessly. At this moment, he was truly astonished.
"Are you surprised, wondering how I did it?"
"Yeah."
"If you know who I am, Meng Po, then you should understand why I can do this."
Ye Tian thought for a moment and found her words reasonable. He then said, "Alright, what should we do next?"
"Just lift the seal. However, once the seal is broken, this entire space will collapse. We must leave immediately!"
"Got it. I'm ready."
Meng Po broke the seal. As soon as it was lifted, countless cracks appeared throughout the space. They knew it was time to leave.
They quickly exited, and Ye Tian turned to the Qilin Beast, asking, "Is there no way to take the Qilin Beast with us?"
"No, there's no way. Since it belongs to this space, it will vanish along with it."
"I see."
With that, they left the collapsing space. At that moment, Houyi saw them open their eyes and said, "You finally came out."
Ye Tian looked at Houyi and said, "Yeah, we're out now. How are you feeling?"
"I feel fine, but... I think I just remembered something."
"Do you remember where the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is?"
Houyi suddenly clutched his head, feeling a sharp pain. After a long pause, he finally said, "I remember! The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow is in Buzhou Mountain. After using it last time, I hid it there!"
"What? It's in Buzhou Mountain?"
Ye Tian immediately said, "If that's the case, then we must go there without delay!"
Right now, there were two suns in the sky. His urgency was understandable—not just for him, but even the celestial beings were growing anxious.
The most crucial task now was to find the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow as soon as possible. Only then would humanity have hope—only then would the world have hope.
"If we don't find it quickly, the world may face destruction!"
"Let's go immediately!"
"Yeah!"
With that, they set off at once. Meng Po insisted on joining Ye Tian, prompting him to ask, "Why are you coming with us? Shouldn't you return now?"
"But if I return to the Underworld (Netherworld), it'll just be boring. Since that's the case, let me go with you! Come on, take me with you!"
It seemed Meng Po truly had no interest in going back. Since she didn't want to return to the Underworld, Ye Tian decided to grant her request.
"Alright, then let's go to Buzhou Mountain together!"
They immediately set off toward Buzhou Mountain.
Shortly after they departed, Clairvoyant Eyes and Clairaudient Ears arrived at the Jade Emperor's palace and reported, "Your Majesty, I just saw them heading toward Buzhou Mountain. The Sun-Shooting Divine Bow should be there."
"Is that so? Excellent! Erlang Shen, Nezha, I want you both to retrieve the bow—bring it back to me!"
"Understood!"
The Jade Emperor was delighted. As long as they followed them closely, it would be like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. He was naturally very pleased with this situation.
At the same time, Ye Tian also sensed that someone was following them. Smiling, he thought, Such petty tricks—how could they fool me?
"Meng Po, do you feel it? Someone is tailing us."
"Yeah, I sense it too. What should we do?"
"Although they're following us, shaking them off would be incredibly easy. But... I don't want to do that just yet."
Ye Tian thought to himself—if he got rid of them now, things would be far too boring.
