The spiritual souls of the people Gu Hai killed would be absorbed by the Karmic Energy pool and refined into Mending Heaven Energy. That was why the Supreme Genesis’s Cross Annihilation could not find the heavenly souls and earthly souls of the angels Gu Hai killed.
At Gu Hai’s command, Mu Chenfeng directed his men to send the flying ship aloft.
The Mosquito Daoist in the distance felt anxious. “Fight! Go on and fight!”
Unfortunately, no one could hear him.
“Father, this child sent angels to seek you out long ago. Why…why…why did you arrive just now?” Yanxuan looked at the Supreme Genesis weakly.
“Sent angels to find me?” The Supreme Genesis raised his eyebrows.
“Indeed. Veritable Lord, we sent them long ago. Had Veritable Lord returned earlier, Gu Hai might not have completed his breakthrough. He would not have been able to control the Vine World Calabash and beat us until we could not retaliate,” Lu Fa said.
“Oh? Is someone helping me?” Gu Hai frowned slightly.
“Helping you?” The Supreme Genesis’s eyes turned cold.
“Reporting to Veritable Lord, the three four-winged angels were Jia Xi, Jia Nan, and Jia Dong!” Lu Fa quickly gave three names.
The Supreme Genesis touched the cross in his hand.
Buzz!
“Argh!”
“Argh!”
A white light flashed on the cross. Then, two miserable cries rang out in a distant mountain forest. The two angels that the Great Light Sovereign Deity knocked unconscious earlier had suddenly awakened and screamed in pain.
“Bring them over!” The Supreme Genesis glared.
The Supreme Genesis blocked Gu Hai’s flying ship, not letting it leave.
Whoosh!
Lu Fa’s figure flashed. He soon found the two angels in the distance, based on their cries, and quickly brought them back.
“Ah? Veritable Lord!” The two angels bowed respectfully.
“What’s going on? Why were you unconscious there?” the Supreme Genesis asked coldly.
“It was the Great Light Sovereign Deity. The Great Light Sovereign Deity knocked us out!” the two angels said respectfully.
“The Great Light Sovereign Deity is helping Gu Hai?” Lu Fa’s expression changed.
“The Great Light Sovereign Deity?” The Supreme Genesis’s expression sank.
Gu Hai also felt startled.
In a forest far away:
The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed radically. “The Great Light Sovereign Deity? Doesn’t he have a grudge against Gu Hai? Why did he help Gu Hai? Damn it! This Daoist has not come out for one thousand years. Indeed, external sources of information are untrustworthy. That can’t be wrong; the Great Light Sovereign Deity is definitely on Gu Hai’s side. Otherwise, why did he not kill Gu Hai when he saw Gu Hai back then? Furthermore, he even helped Gu Hai this time. I must have been blind to inform the Great Light Sovereign Deity. This was simply smashing a rock on my foot!”
The Mosquito Daoist was so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.
The Supreme Genesis showed an extremely sullen expression. Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly, not believing that the Great Light Sovereign Deity would help him.
“Gu Hai, let my sons go. Otherwise, I will annihilate your souls!” the Supreme Genesis said coldly.
“Gu Hai, don’t listen to him. If you let Yanxuan and Yehua go, we will not be able to leave!” Long Aotian said anxiously.
Ao Shun, Sima Changkong, and Long Sanqian trusted Gu Hai. Naturally, they did not say anything.
“Oh? And who are you?” The Supreme Genesis glared.
Boom!
A strong will seemed to form an icy blade that shot at Long Aotian.
Phish!
“Argh!”
A vine suddenly pierced Yehua’s chest, causing him to scream.
“Gu Hai, how dare you?!” The Supreme Genesis’s expression changed, and he held back his attack.
“Supreme Genesis, Bing Ji is imprisoned, and you are the one who will dictate her marriage. Is that right?” Gu Hai said with narrowed eyes.
“Hah! Are you still thinking about Bing Ji?” The Supreme Genesis’s expression changed as his earlier worries eased.
As long as Gu Hai still cared for Bing Ji, it would be fine. He would be able to save his two sons.
“I currently have something to do but will be back soon. However, if Bing Ji gets married off before I get back or suffers any harm, I will make Yanxuan and Yehua pay with their lives!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“What did you say? Don’t you want to save Bing Ji?” The Supreme Genesis glared.
“If I want Bing Ji, will you give her to me?” Gu Hai shook his head.
“Humph! My Heaven City is not a place where you can come and go as you please!” the Supreme Genesis said with a glare. He gently touched the Cross Annihilation in his palm.
“Don’t move. Otherwise, I will kill one first!” Gu Hai glared back.
“I did not move. Right?” The Supreme Genesis smiled faintly.
Before that smile, Gu Hai’s mind became muddled for a moment. He seemed to see a dark world, and he was in a large graveyard. Then, many rotten arms suddenly burst out of the graves in a clatter.
Thousands of rotten corpses appeared and howled as they pounced on him.
If it were before Gu Hai established his heavenly palace, he might have succumbed to this illusion.
However, now that Gu Hai had established his heavenly palace, his mortal soul could sense the truth. The spiritual souls could connect to the Spiritual Energy. Now, there was absolutely no Spiritual Energy to speak of.
“An illusion? To think that you want to use that to trap me?” Gu Hai said coldly.
Then, Gu Hai punched. A one-hundred-sixty-three-meter-tall mortal soul appeared behind him and punched as well.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and the entire world exploded. The dark world shattered into countless fragments, and there was boundless light on the other side of the fragments.
The light was very dazzling, but Gu Hai instantly saw the Supreme Genesis’s hand approaching. The Supreme Genesis was taking advantage of the time Gu Hai was trapped in the illusion to kill him with one palm strike.
Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish! Phish!
“Argh!”
Yanxuan and Yehua screamed in agony at the same time. Several vines protruded from their chests, inflicting incredible pain.
“Move again, and I will explode them!” Gu Hai glared.
Boom!
The Supreme Genesis’s figure stopped, kicking up a strong wind. Then, he ferociously eyed Gu Hai.
“How did you escape the soul illusion so quickly?” the Supreme Genesis said, feeling depressed.
As long as that illusion delayed Gu Hai for a while, I would have struck him. How did he wake up so quickly?
This move has never failed before. Even Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivators would have difficulty breaking free of it. How did he wake up so quickly?
Mu Chenfeng, Ensnaring Performance, Sima Changkong, and the others broke out in a cold sweat. That was dangerous. That almost finished us.
“Supreme Genesis, remember what I said. Humph! Let’s go!” Gu Hai snorted coldly.
Whoosh!
The flying ship carried Gu Hai’s group into the distance.
The Supreme Genesis showed a sullen expression but did not give chase. He did not move until Gu Hai’s flying ship had vanished into the horizon. The angels showed unsightly faces.
“Veritable Lord, why didn’t you give chase? What should we do about First Young Master and Second Young Master?” Lu Fa asked anxiously.
“As long as Bing Ji is in my hands, they won’t die. Humph! Gu Hai? I knew that he was a troublemaker!” the Supreme Genesis said with a sullen expression.
“Veritable Lord, should we…,” Lu Fa said with a worried frown.
“There is something important to deal with at the Eastern Monarch’s place, so I can’t leave. Lu Fa, bring the angels to follow Gu Hai. Try not to expose yourselves. If you can, do your best to rescue Yanxuan and Yehua,” the Supreme Genesis said.
“Huh? Yes!” Lu Fa answered.
Whoosh! The Supreme Genesis’s figure flashed, heading back to the Eastern Monarch Palace.
“What is so important at the Eastern Monarch Palace for the veritable lord to put aside the life and death of his two sons?” Lu Fa said, appearing confused.
On the other side, the Mosquito Daoist’s eyelids twitched wildly. As he watched the Supreme Genesis leave, he cursed depressedly, “Damn it! Go on and fight! Are you here just to sightsee? Why are you letting Gu Hai run? Ptooey!”
The Mosquito Daoist chased in Gu Hai’s direction.
Lu Fa quickly led the angels in pursuit of Gu Hai.
Unfortunately, Gu Hai had already disappeared over the horizon. How could it be that easy to find them?
On Gu Hai’s flying ship:
“That was close. Why did that Supreme Genesis suddenly become so agreeable?” Long Aotian said in surprise.
“You can’t even figure that out?” Ensnaring Performance showed disdain on his face.
“What is it?” Everyone looked at Ensnaring Performance.
“Of course, he was afraid of my master!” Ensnaring Performance said cockily.
The crowd: “…”
Naturally, no one believed Ensnaring Performance; even Gu Hai did not.
“Initially, I had some other plans to put into action. To think that I did not need to use them? It looks like the Supreme Genesis can’t leave today. He must have something more important to do,” Gu Hai said with slightly narrowed eyes.
“More important? What can be more important than his two sons?” Ensnaring Performance asked, feeling curious.
Severely injured and vomiting blood, Yanxuan and Yehua felt depressed. They were the first young master and the second young master of the angels. However, they ended up prisoners today.
They thought about how they had imposingly captured Gu Hai. However, Gu Hai turned the tables on them in the blink of an eye.
“Eldest Brother, what should we do?” Yehua asked gloomily.
“Ao Shun has sealed my cultivation. I can’t do anything.” Yanxuan appeared grim.
Gu Hai looked back into the distance, clenching his fist. He wanted to save Bing Ji. However, this was the Solar Divine Palace. The Supreme Genesis had countless means to kill him. He was already lucky earlier to have broken that illusion in time. Had they clashed further, he would have suffered, so he was better off leaving first.
Now, with Yanxuan and Yehua in his hands, Bing Ji would at least be safe. He would figure out how to rescue Bing Ji in secret after returning from the Yan Heavenly Dynasty.
On a mountaintop:
“What? Gu Hai ran? He held Yanxuan and Yehua captive before the Supreme Genesis and left?” The Great Light Sovereign Deity’s expression changed as he stared furiously at an animal spirit.
“Yes! Yes! Great Light Sovereign Deity, you told me to keep an eye on the situation. That was what happened,” that animal spirit said, nodding.
Great Light Sovereign Deity showed an unsightly expression. “Earlier, Master told me to go over since a few slots had opened up, and he was preparing to give one to me. That made me miss the earlier events. Supreme Genesis, you bastard! Trash! You can’t even kill Gu Hai, letting him run?”
The animal spirit kept his head lowered, not daring to speak.
“Where did Gu Hai go?” the Great Light Sovereign Deity asked coldly.
“That way. I don’t know anything else after that!” The animal spirit pointed in a certain direction.
“There’s no need for more. I will find him by following his aura. Humph! Gu Hai, let’s see where you can run to!” the Great Light Sovereign Deity snorted coldly.
Whoosh!
The Great Light Sovereign Deity turned into a beam of azure light that shot into the sky, quickly overtaking the angels.
The Mosquito Daoist, who was following Gu Hai’s flying ship, was thinking about how to deal with Gu Hai when he suddenly sensed something. He turned his head and saw an azure beam shooting over.
“Great Light Sovereign Deity? Humph! You trickster! You clearly are helping Gu Hai, yet you make it seem like you have a grudge against him? You want to meet up with Gu Hai? Dream on! Watch this!” the Mosquito Daoist snorted coldly.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Mosquito Daoist produced an aura resembling that of Gu Hai’s flying ship. Then, he sent that aura in another direction.
When the Great Light Sovereign Deity approached, he got tricked by the Mosquito Daoist and veered off Gu Hai’s trail.
It was not just the Great Light Sovereign Deity. The angels behind also got tricked.
Gu Hai’s flying ship flew on ahead. The Mosquito Daoist had dealt with all the threats behind him for him.
