Nezha was just teasing the rabbit and wasn't actually planning to eat the rabbit head.

The Jade Rabbit had long heard of Emperor Ziwei's wicked sense of humor, and meeting him today was indeed an eye-opening experience.

Instead of continuing to tease the rabbit, Nezha went to the Laurel Tree, which is on the same level as the Fusang Tree and Ginseng Fruit Tree, an Innate Spirit Root. Its roots now deeply penetrate the Taiyin Star, meaning it thrives and suffers with the Taiyin Star.

Nezha gestured to the coffin behind him and said, "Rabbit, dig a hole."

The Jade Rabbit didn't dare to ask more questions and crouched down, lifting the immortal skirt, and in no time dug a hole. Nezha compared it and found it a perfect fit.

This is what you call professional!

He directly placed the wooden coffin inside, and the Jade Rabbit obediently covered it up, even making a somewhat cute little mound.

Nezha: ...

This person isn't dead; isn't this a bit unlucky?

Digging and burying seemed to awaken some inherent rabbit nature in the Jade Rabbit, who happily said, "Emperor, how's my work?"

Nezha nodded, acknowledging the Jade Rabbit's hole-digging ability, and casually gave him a Treasure Mallet made of Sumeru Gold, making the Jade Rabbit ecstatic.

Everyone had heard of Emperor Ziwei's generosity, but who would have thought he'd hand over a golden rod at first meeting!

Nezha thought for a moment and finally placed the Xuanyuan Sword on the mound, setting up an array and restriction. The buried Nu Ba could use the Power of Taiyin and the Human Dao Power of the Xuanyuan Sword to help her regain consciousness, but whether she could control that Law Fragment was up to her.

Having done all this, Nezha immediately began to investigate who was behind the scenes this time. How did Nu Ba's whereabouts remain hidden for so long, only to suddenly appear on the westward journey's path?

Leaving the Taiyin Star, the first stop was Fire Cloud Cave.

He first visited the Great Uncle Fu Xi and then went to the Yellow Emperor, who was in a mood, sipping tea.

He too was aware of his daughter's situation but felt powerless. The daughter of Shennong had inexplicably drowned by the sea before, and nothing could be done.

This was, in fact, a form of revenge. The resources of the Primordial were limited; the more occupied by the Human Clan, the less for other races. Unable to retaliate against the entire Human Clan, their focus turned to those around the Human Emperor.

Nezha explained his arrangement for Nu Ba to the Great Uncle, and the Yellow Emperor felt much relieved knowing his daughter might regain consciousness one day.

"Does the Great Uncle have any guesses as to the mastermind?"

The Yellow Emperor stroked his small mustache and pondered for a long time before saying, "Back then, my young daughter couldn't control her mana, causing great droughts around her. I had no choice but to banish her to sparsely populated northern areas, while Ying Long, as the Rain God, moved south."

"I've heard some rumors, saying I sent Ying Long to hunt her down, but I didn't pay it much heed."

After all, it's not like he was seriously ill, sending someone to hunt his own daughter.

Nezha immediately clapped his hands.

"I know, this must be the Dragon Clan's conspiracy!"

The Yellow Emperor was stunned for a moment, why did you say that so skillfully?

Nezha's reasoning seemed solid: if you didn't do it, why does everyone think you did?

If you say you didn't do it, then who did?

Speak up!

With this lead, Nezha bid farewell to the Yellow Emperor and left Fire Cloud Cave. When dealing with others, Nezha might need to think a bit, but when it comes to dealing with the Dragon Clan, Nezha was exceptionally skilled.

It's as if he might as well write "Dragon Clan Special Attack" on his forehead.

Nezha then turned towards the East Sea. Upon being announced, the Old Dragon King immediately came out to greet him.

"Emperor's arrival, pardon the lack of a welcome, please come in, please come in!"

Nezha immediately put on a serious face.

"Hmph, don't laugh with me, tell me, was the reappearance of Drought your Dragon Clan's conspiracy, intending to wreak havoc in the Primordial realm?"

The Old Dragon King panicked at once. Isn't the usual process to exchange pleasantries first and then eat and drink?

"Oh, Emperor, you're just joking, our Dragon Clan is good and honest!"

East Sea Dragon King was indeed sincere this time, there was nothing he could do; their Dragon Clan was constantly under the Jade Emperor's watch. Any small mistake and they'd be dragged to the Dragon Scraping Platform, like how the Jing River Dragon King had died recently.

Nezha glanced at the Dragon King a couple of times, knowing this had little to do with the Four Sea Dragon Kings as they held no real position in the Ancestor Dragon Hall.

"If your Dragon Clan didn't do it, why is everyone saying it's you all?"

The Old Dragon King was truly bewildered, wondering who was spreading such rumors and why he hadn't heard of it.

"You don't know, do you? Then I'll just ask the Ancestor Dragon for answers!"

Nezha turned and headed into the deep sea, while the Old Dragon King wiped sweat from his forehead. "Pass the word around, all dragon sons and grandsons, behave in these thousand years! If anyone causes trouble and gets skinned alive, don't blame me for not warning you!"

...

Ancestor Dragon Hall

"Patriarch, that female corpse was easily subdued by Nezha, and we couldn't gauge the depth at all."

The one speaking was Yin Long, who had stolen the Peaches of Immortality earlier.

The Dragon Clan was indeed behind Nu Ba's reappearance, but it had nothing to do with Ying Long; it was a command from the Ancestor Dragon. As for why?

Firstly, the Ancestor Dragon indeed had ambitions and schemes. Now that Nezha aimed for the Saint Position, he couldn't just sit idly by, bearing the mindset of 'if I can't reach it, then neither should others; if no one reaches it, I still have a chance.'

Secondly, thanks to Yuan Feng, the Ancestor Dragon initially wanted to wait and see, but Yuan Feng's persistent taunts and confrontations pushed him. Constantly reminding him with phrases like 'my son-in-law is about to become a saint' and 'your brood of useless mud eels only knows how to eat, sleep, and reproduce,' the Ancestor Dragon was verbally attacked to the point of having his head drenched in dog's blood.
