Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 5: Chapter 117: Unfilial Son

Gu Hai released Xuan En and the other Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples. Although they left, they did not go far.

Suddenly, a loud sound rang out in the distance. Everyone turned their head to look.

“Li Shenji?” Xuan En’s eyes suddenly lit up.

“Li Shenji is personally killing Gu Hai?” the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples said excitedly.

Although Gu Hai’s suppression of them horrified them, they also felt deep hatred for him. Now that it looked like Li Shenji might be killing him, they naturally paid attention.

The Grand Mohist also looked into the distance. However, some worry appeared in her eyes. Even she herself did not know why she felt worried.

Rumble…!

A cannonade came from the distance. However, the scene that the Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples hoped for did not happen. Instead, a Heaven Blasting Battalion appeared for Gu Hai.

“Heaven Blasting Cannons? How could there be eighteen?!”

“Had Gu Hai used the Heaven Blasting Cannons from the start, wouldn’t we have been…”

“If Gu Hai wants to kill us, he does not even have to take personal action?”

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples were again horrified, giving up hope. Dread flashed in their eyes as they looked at Gu Hai.

The battle between Gu Hai and Li Shenji ended very quickly; a victor emerged in the blink of an eye.

“He lost? Li Shenji lost?”

“Gu Hai was about to execute that saber strike earlier! That was the move he was going to use!”

“Had he landed that attack, we would have…we would have…”

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples felt bitter.

“Alright, let’s go!” the Grand Mohist said sullenly.

The Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples looked at the Grand Mohist with incredibly complicated expressions. I would have died long ago if not for the Grand Mohist, right?

Not daring to linger, everyone quickly followed the Grand Mohist, vanishing into the horizon together.

——

At this point, the Divine Strategy Battalion had been annihilated. Li Shenji had exploded and died.

“Master, your earlier saber strike was truly incredible!” Ensnaring Performance raved.

“Hall Master, I did not let down your expectations. We have wiped out the Divine Strategy Battalion!” Mu Chenfeng said excitedly.

The Divine Strategy Battalion was a Qian Nation foreign affairs department, among the top ten of such organizations. Including Li Shenji, it would rank third. Yet, Mu Chenfeng managed to wipe out the strong Divine Strategy Battalion. This made him feel that following Gu Hai was a promising path.

However, Gu Hai merely nodded. He landed on the flying ship’s deck but did not dismiss anyone. Instead, he turned his head and looked in another direction, then suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Huh?” Everyone followed Gu Hai’s gaze with suspicion.

“A flying ship?” Ensnaring Performance’s face sank.

“There are more enemies? Prepare the Heaven Blasting Cannons!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

“Yes!”

The Heaven Blasting Cannons immediately aimed at the distant flying ship.

“Don’t attack!” Gu Hai said.

“Huh? Yes!” Mu Chenfeng looked at Gu Hai in confusion.

A large banner with the character “Tang” flew on the flying ship.

That flying ship had stopped in the distance while Gu Hai fought. That flying ship only started moving again after the battle ended.

Tang?

The person standing at the bow of that flying ship was Lord Tang.

Gu Hai walked to the bow and looked coldly at the distant Lord Tang. That Lord Tang showed a cold smile as he stared at Gu Hai.

The flying ship approached very quickly.

The two looked at each other from a short distance.

Ensnaring Performance and Mu Chenfeng noticed a sullen expression on Gu Hai’s face, so they did not dare say anything.

Gu Hai kept silent as he looked at Lord Tang, maintaining an incredibly stern and sullen expression.

“Old man, how have you been? To think that you even managed to kill Li Shenji! You are as robust as ever!” Lord Tang suddenly laughed.

Old man?

Ensnaring Performance and Mu Chenfeng appeared somewhat curious. Is he referring to Gu Hai?

However, Gu Hai showed a gentler expression in his eyes when he heard Lord Tang refer to him as such.

“What are you called now?” Gu Hai asked indifferently.

“Tang Gu. Tang from Gu Tang, and Gu from Gu Tang!” Lord Tang laughed.

Ensnaring Performance felt somewhat stupefied. A name can be introduced like that?

“Tang Gu? Well, what wind blew you over to me today?” Gu Hai asked indifferently.

“Old man, you are still the same. Gu Qin is pedantic and Gu Han is rotten. They should have come with me back then. However, it is still not too late. Old man, I would have gone to find you when I went north this time. However, when I returned, I found Nine-Five Island missing,” Tang Gu said with a smile.

Tang Gu? Since this person did not use his original name of Gu Tang, Gu Hai understood that there were some circumstances behind this.

“Hah! Are you that kind?” Gu Hai said.

“Of course. Not only that, but I also want to bring you with me to the Yan Heavenly Dynasty. That is where we should be,” Tang Gu said with a smile.

“Oh? You want me to head to the Yan Nation? To be your subordinate? To help you make contributions?” Gu Hai suddenly smiled.

“You could say that. Of course, with your capabilities, you might not end up being my subordinate. You might be able to sit on an equal level with me,” Tang Gu said with a smile.

“How audacious!” Gu Hai suddenly glared.

At Gu Hai’s cold shout, Tang Gu’s subordinates rushed forward. However, Tang Gu waved his hand, stopping everyone.

“You unfilial son, you are truly arrogant! To think that you even dare to say such things!” Gu Hai glared.

Unfilial son?

The expressions of Ensnaring Performance, Mu Chenfeng, and Tang Gu’s subordinates changed. What is the situation?

“Unfilial son? Haha! I’m not even of your blood. You only raised me for a few decades. So what?” Some disdain appeared on Tang Gu’s face.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes, showing a sullen expression.

“Old man, don’t be angry. Anger is not good for you. However, I am not trying to agitate you on purpose by telling you to come with me. You might not even need me to persuade you if you know the situation. Perhaps, you might even give up the Han Royal Dynasty to go to the Yan Heavenly Dynasty,” Tang Gu said with a smile.

“Oh? Tell me about it, then,” Gu Hai sneered.

“The Han Royal Dynasty? Old man, what was the initial purpose of establishing the Han Royal Dynasty?” Tang Gu said, smiling.

“My initial purpose?” Gu Hai said with slightly narrowed eyes.

“To kill the Azure Emperor and take revenge for Adoptive Mother, right?” Tang Gu said indifferently.

“What?” Everyone’s expression changed.

Kill the Azure Emperor? Revenge?

Considering how strong the Azure Emperor is? Can Gu Hai even do that?

Gu Hai did not deny it. Instead, he looked coldly at Tang Gu. He is indeed an unfilial son. To think he could say such things so openly?

“However, old man, you might have gotten things wrong. Perhaps you do not need to kill the Azure Emperor,” Tang Gu said, smiling.

“Oh?”

“Old man, don’t you find it strange? Our Nine-Five Island was an impoverished, desolate area. Why would a powerful expert like the Azure Emperor travel hundreds of millions of kilometers to kill a mundane person? Isn’t that weird? Furthermore, they agreed to let Fourth Younger Brother and me follow them back then? Why?” Tang Gu said.

“I don’t care about the whys and wherefores. Chen Xianer is dead. So, the Azure Emperor must die!” Gu Hai said with a determined expression.

“What if Adoptive Mother is not dead?” Tang Gu countered with a smile.

Gu Hai’s pupils constricted.

“How can that be?” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.

Tang Gu shook his head and said, “Old man, you got it wrong. Adoptive Mother did not die. She really did not die. She is now in the Yan Heavenly Dynasty. She is the Yan Heavenly Dynasty’s White Emperor, the imperial lord of metal!”

“The White Emperor? The imperial lord?” one of Tang Gu’s subordinates said in shock.

Gu Hai felt slightly startled, appearing doubtful. However, he immediately firmed up his thoughts. He had seen Chen Xianer’s death, a death that left no body. Chen Xianer’s mortal soul was even with him now. How could he believe Tang Gu’s nonsense?

“Old man, I will not lie to you on this matter. The Azure Emperor was just following orders to find the White Emperor’s reincarnated earthly soul back then. The White Emperor’s reincarnation was Adoptive Mother. The Azure Emperor retrieved Adoptive Mother’s earthly soul, brought her back to the Yan Heavenly Dynasty, and let Adoptive Mother’s earthly soul return to her body and merge with her old heavenly soul and mortal soul. So, Adoptive Mother is not dead. She is only living in a different way. Old man, come with me. Adoptive Mother is pining for you, waiting for you. Don’t you want to see Adoptive Mother?” Tang Gu looked at Gu Hai in anticipation.

“The White Emperor? Earthly soul?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Indeed. Old man, come back with me. I promised Adoptive Mother to bring you all back!” Tang Gu said with confidence in his eyes.

Tang Gu understood Gu Hai’s love for Chen Xianer. If Gu Hai knew Chen Xianer’s whereabouts, he would definitely go at all costs.

“Hah! Hahahahaha! Unfilial son!” Gu Hai suddenly turned hostile.

“What?” Tang Gu raised his eyebrows, looking at Gu Hai in shock.

“Xianer treated you and your fourth younger brother the best, never letting you suffer. She always thought of you when there was anything good to eat. Back when I was injured from my cultivation, she went into the mountains to collect herbs with you. When you ran into a pack of wild wolves, Xianer got you all to hide in a cave, and she used her body to block the cave entrance. She used herself to protect you all. Unexpectedly…unexpectedly, she raised an ingrate. Excellent! Excellent! Very excellent!” A cold glint flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.

“What ingrate? Old man, what are you saying? I have been by Adoptive Mother’s side, risking my life for Adoptive Mother. The White Emperor is Adoptive Mother! Adoptive Mother is the White Emperor!” Tang Gu said in frustration.

“Shut up!” Gu Hai shouted, radiating a ferocious, murderous intent as he charged at Tang Gu.

Tang Gu’s expression turned cold as an intense energy flame appeared around his body.

“Lower Heavenly Palace Realm? Excellent. It looks like you have gained many benefits by following the White Emperor. So, you forgot the past and betrayed your mother for glory? Hahahaha! Excellent! Excellent! Very excellent!” Gu Hai said with a sullen expression.

“Old man, the White Emperor has been pining for you. You don’t know what’s good for you!” Tang Gu said coldly.

“The one pining for me is Xianer, not the White Emperor. What is she?” Irritation flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.

“How audacious! How dare you talk bad about the imperial lord…,” someone beside Tang Gu said.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai suddenly turned his head and glared, a murderous intent blazing in his eyes.

Mu Chenfeng waved his hand, and the Heaven Blasting Cannons all trained on the person who interjected.

“Huh?” That person’s expression changed as sweat poured down his forehead.

“How audacious! I can make it such that none of you will leave today! Do you believe that?!” Gu Hai glared.

“You!” The expressions of Tang Gu’s subordinates changed; they no longer dared to speak.

They had seen Li Shenji die earlier. Indeed, their group was not comparable to Gu Hai’s.

“Old man, do you really have no lingering feelings for Adoptive Mother?” Tang Gu demanded furiously with a glare.

Gu Hai stared at Tang Gu, emanating a murderous air.
