“Why are you crying? No one is blaming you,” Gu Hai suddenly shouted coldly.
Far away, Ao Shun raised his head. The expression of pain and sorrow immediately changed. After being captured, he felt very guilty for failing Gu Hai’s instructions.
“Humph! Gu Hai, you did not expect this, right? Hahahaha!” Yehua suddenly guffawed maniacally.
“Do you want to die?” Gu Hai said as his gaze chilled.
Although Gu Hai’s cultivation was sealed, his eyes still radiated an intense murderous intent. Yehua shivered, forced to swallow his next words.
Yanxuan looked coldly at Gu Hai. “Gu Hai, Crown Prince Lu Ya should have sealed your cultivation already. What are you being so cocky for?”
Gu Hai looked at Yanxuan and said coldly, “If Ao Shun dies, I will bury you with him. Do you believe that?”
“Bury? Hahaha! What can you do now? The Great Light Sovereign Deity wants you dead. Do you think you can survive past today?” Yanxuan said coldly.
“So, you think Crown Prince Lu Ya is easy to bully?” Gu Hai retorted with a smile.
“Huh?” Yanxuan’s face sank.
Now, Lu Ya also looked coldly at Yanxuan. “Do you think that I can’t kill Gu Hai or that I won’t kill Gu Hai?”
“Uh? Crown Prince Lu Ya, this subordinate does not have that intention. However…” Yanxuan’s expression changed.
“Humph!”
Lu Ya snorted coldly and turned to Kong Xuan. Kong Xuan still showed an incredibly determined expression as if he would only be satisfied if he killed Gu Hai.
“Crown Prince Lu Ya, I am doing this for the Solar Divine Palace’s good. This Gu Hai is Long Zhanguo’s spy. You know what he has done over the past few years. If we don’t get rid of him now, he will be a danger in the future,” Kong Xuan said coldly.
“Danger? Humph! It is not your place to interfere in my matters!” Lu Ya’s eyes turned cold.
Although Lu Ya reprimanded Kong Xuan in an icy tone, Gu Hai understood that it was not because he wanted to protect Gu Hai. He did not care about Gu Hai’s survival at all, just his own prestige. Hence, Gu Hai could not place his hopes on Lu Ya.
“Long Zhanguo’s spy? Haha! Great Light Sovereign Deity, are you talking about me—or yourself?” Gu Hai said with a glare.
“Huh?” Kong Xuan’s expression suddenly changed into a ferocious scowl at Gu Hai.
Lu Ya and Yanxuan narrowed their eyes, looking at Kong Xuan in shock.
“Gu Hai, are you trying to cast doubt on me? Hahahaha!” Kong Xuan sneered.
Lu Ya looked coldly at Gu Hai. After all, no one would believe that Kong Xuan was Long Zhanguo’s spy. This accusation was too wild.
Gu Hai also knew that such an accusation would not work. No one would believe that Kong Xuan was Long Zhanguo’s spy. However, it did not matter. He just needed to plant a seed in everyone’s heart.
“Great Light Sovereign Deity, you know whether I’m making a false accusation or not. Trying to silence me now? Hah! You’re using Crown Prince Lu Ya to do it. It was Crown Prince Lu Ya who sealed my cultivation, allowing you this opportunity. So, when the time comes, you can push the blame on Crown Prince Lu Ya. Humph! Yanxuan serves as your excuse and Crown Prince Lu Ya as your knife? Hah! Great Light Sovereign Deity, what a great schemer!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Hahahaha! Crown Prince Lu Ya, did you hear that? I already said Gu Hai was a troublemaker, right? Just how long has passed, and he is already trying to drive a wedge between us. Crown Prince Lu Ya, please stop protecting such a villain. Humph! I’m using the crown prince to kill him? What a joke!” Kong Xuan said coldly.
Nearby, Yanxuan nodded. “Crown Prince Lu Ya, Gu Hai indeed enjoys twisting facts. Not long ago, the Mosquito Daoist wanted to assassinate him. Eventually, the Mosquito Daoist became his helper because of his glib tongue. Crown Prince Lu Ya, be careful.”
Naturally, Crown Prince Lu Ya did not believe in Gu Hai’s nonsense. Instead, he coldly eyed Gu Hai. “You say I am Kong Xuan’s knife?”
“Crown Prince Lu Ya, if you think I am wrong, you can undo my seal, and I will chop down Kong Xuan. Do you believe that?” Gu Hai said incredibly seriously.
“Huh?” Lu Ya narrowed his eyes at Gu Hai in shock.
Kong Xuan’s combat prowess was rare within the Solar Divine Palace. Among the three hundred sixty-one spirit stars, the Peacock Star ranked within the top ten. Although Kong Xuan was weaker than Lu Ya, it was not by much. To think that Gu Hai dared to declare that he would kill Kong Xuan?
“Crown Prince Lu Ya, what are you worried about? I was already not a match for you that day and surrendered myself to you. Now, I’m even weaker than that day. Isn’t that right? You have already taken my Vine World Calabash, my True Flame Calabash, my Life Executioner Saber, and my Immortal Slaying Calabash’s vine. What are you worried about?” Gu Hai smiled coldly.
Lu Ya’s expression turned sullen.
When Lu Ya sealed Gu Hai’s cultivation, he had forced Gu Hai to hand over the Vine World Calabash, the True Flame Calabash, the Life Executioner Saber, and the Immortal Slaying Calabash’s vine. However, he did not search Gu Hai for other treasures. He had not cared about doing so. After all, he was the glorious crown prince of the animal spirits.
Where does Gu Hai’s confidence come from?
“Crown Prince Lu Ya, don’t listen to his deceit. Just let me kill him and end this!” Kong Xuan said coldly.
“Humph! My cultivation is sealed. Even if I die, I will die only in Crown Prince Lu Ya’s hands. You? Hah! It is unfortunate that Crown Prince Lu Ya is not releasing me to kill you!” Gu Hai shouted.
Then, Lu Ya extended his hand and tapped near Gu Hai’s dantian.
Buzz!
A beam of golden light instantly erupted from Gu Hai’s dantian. Then, a powerful aura appeared around him.
“Crown Prince Lu Ya, why did you undo his seal?” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.
“Many thanks, Crown Prince Lu Ya!” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.
“Humph! This crown prince wants to see how you are going to kill Kong Xuan!” Lu Ya said coldly.
After speaking, Lu Ya coldly eyed Kong Xuan. “Kong Xuan, you are Father’s most loyal subordinate. This subordinate will give you face this time. However, I want Gu Hai’s corpse intact!”
Kong Xuan’s face immediately lit up in joy. “Yes! Many thanks, Crown Prince Lu Ya!”
Gu Hai could not possibly deal with Kong Xuan. That was simply seeking death. Furthermore, Lu Ya had confiscated all his weapons and enchanted treasures.
Kong Xuan smiled coldly at Gu Hai.
However, Gu Hai also showed a confident smile. This cold smile made Lu Ya and Kong Xuan frown. Gu Hai dares to challenge Kong Xuan now? Where does his confidence come from?
Gu Hai was feeling confident? This was just a facade he put on for the two to see. He had only just entered the Lower Heavenly Palace Realm. How could he deal with Kong Xuan?
Gu Hai sent a strand of his consciousness to a spatial storage ring on his finger. The zither puppet was stored there. As long as he used the zither puppet to inform Long Zhanguo, Long Zhanguo would come to rescue him.
This was what Gu Hai relied on. He could inform Long Zhanguo and use his contributions to ask Long Zhanguo to make a move.
“Great Light Sovereign Deity, I hope you will not regret this!” Gu Hai sneered.
As Gu Hai spoke, he gently tapped the ring, sending some energy into it to use the zither puppet.
“Hah! Little Peacock, you are so pertinacious. This palace master has no lingering thoughts about Gu Hai, yet you repeatedly use Xiaorou as an excuse to try and kill him. Aren’t you just humiliating this palace master by doing this?” A majestic voice suddenly rang out in the surroundings.
Boom!
A powerful aura suddenly descended.
“The Supreme Wa?” Yanxuan’s expression changed.
Lu Ya also narrowed his eyes as he raised his head to the sky.
“Oh no!”
Kong Xuan’s expression changed. Scowling ferociously, he immediately threw a palm strike at Gu Hai.
Boom!
A five-colored manifested palm suddenly appeared and shot towards Gu Hai to kill him.
“How audacious!” The Supreme Wa’s voice rang out once more.
Space trembled, and a humongous snake tail appeared out of nowhere. The snake tail swung, and a powerful purple wind immediately arrived before Kong Xuan’s palm.
Boom!
A loud sound rang out, and an overwhelming wind kicked up in the surroundings. The five-colored, divine light palm exploded. The snake tail wavered and vanished.
Kong Xuan instantly retreated over three hundred meters.
“Supreme Wa, aren’t you in closed-door cultivation?” Kong Xuan exclaimed while goggling.
Gu Hai looked up and saw a purple cloud surrounded by boundless purple energy. A woman with a human torso and a snake tail stood on the purple cloud. This was none other than the Supreme Wa.
The instant Gu Hai saw the Supreme Wa, he felt dazzled. Xiaorou looked exactly like this in Tengen Island’s Innate Puzzle World.
Back then, Gu Hai’s heart was obsessed with Chen Xianer, so he ignored Xiaorou’s affection for him. Back then, Gu Hai’s heart had already been sealed in ice.
However, a small crack appeared when Xiaorou died. He stopped rejecting the feelings of others because of Xiaorou, letting in Long Wanqing, Lin Waner, and even Bing Ji.
When Gu Hai saw the Supreme Wa, he immediately remembered Xiaorou and felt strangely flustered.
Xiaorou’s earthly soul was the Supreme Wa’s earthly soul. Her heavenly soul and mortal soul had merged with the Supreme Wa’s. It would not be wrong to say that the Supreme Wa was Xiaorou. However, saying Xiaorou was the Supreme Wa would be wrong, as the Supreme Wa’s personality had taken control after Xiaorou and the Supreme Wa merged.
“Closed-door cultivation? Humph! Kong Xuan, this palace master did not care about Gu Hai at all. However, you kept causing trouble. Hah! Since when it is your place to manage my—the Supreme Wa’s—matters?” The Supreme Wa’s eyes turned cold with an intense murderous intent.
Kong Xuan scowled ferociously. “Supreme Wa? Since you don’t care about Gu Hai, what is wrong with letting me kill him? Humph! You say that you don’t care. However, you share the same earthly soul as Xiaorou. While your will overrides hers, she is you. Your three spiritual souls merged, and your feelings merged. Do you dare say that Xiaorou’s feelings for Gu Hai have not influenced you? If not, why did you engrave Xiaorou’s miserable appearance outside your Supreme Wa Palace?”
“Humph! Kong Xuan, you are overreaching. Do you wish to die?!” The Supreme Wa’s gaze chilled further as she slithered forward.
“Hahahaha! Wish to die? I am overreaching? Queen Wa, don’t you know why Master let you into the Solar Divine Palace? Don’t you know why Master gave you authority that is just beneath his? In our hearts, you have long been Queen Wa already, Master’s woman. Humph! Feigning ignorance? Is there a point? If not for Master pleading with Heaven, you would have died eight hundred thousand years ago. No, your souls would have been annihilated. You have this day only because Master pleaded with the Six Paths Immortal for mercy!” Kong Xuan said while glaring.
“How audacious!” The Supreme Wa glared.
“Audacious? Humph! Even if you block me today, Gu Hai has to die!” Kong Xuan said with a ferocious expression.
In his fury, Kong Xuan raised his head to the sky and roared, “Animal spirit kings on the three hundred-odd spirit stars, Kong Xuan asks for everyone’s help to activate the Cyclic Star Ritual Array and destroy the seducer Gu Hai and right Queen Wa’s heart!”
