Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 036: Distress Call to Gu Hai

Long Sanqian walked out of the Dao Comprehension Cave while holding the zombie token.

Yun Mo, Tang Gu, and Nan Longnu followed behind. As they walked out, Nan Longnu had a sullen expression.

Yun Mo was expressionless. Although Tang Gu appeared worried, he was thrilled in his heart. It succeeded?

Although the surrounding zombies wanted to stop Long Sanqian, they could only move aside, as the zombie token had Long Shenwu’s aura, and they were Long Shenwu’s zombie progeny.

Long Sanqian: “All zombies, follow me!”

The many zombies quickly followed Long Sanqian because of the zombie token. The powerful aura spreading out put tremendous mental pressure on Nan Longnu’s heart.

The group slowly made its way to the Silver Moon Hall’s plaza.

“Bodhisattva Nan Longnu, you are from the Spirit Mountain Holy Land, so I will not make things difficult for you. Go back and tell the Present Buddha that the promise I made him back then is now void,” Long Sanqian said indifferently.

“Huh?” Nan Longnu’s face sank. “What promise?”

“Just tell the Present Buddha. He will know,” Long Sanqian said coldly.

Nan Longnu showed an unsightly expression. Does Long Sanqian have another identity? Yun Mo’s ancestor? The Silver Moon Mountain Manor? Teacher Yinyue?

Did I ruin some agreement between Lord Buddha and Teacher Yinyue? I’m in big trouble now.

Nan Longnu’s heart was in turmoil, incredibly heavy with depression. How am I to give Lord Buddha an account?

Long Sanqian said that to occupy Nan Longnu’s mind and prevent her from thinking about the current situation and noticing something wrong.

Indeed, Nan Longnu did not have the composure to think about the current situation. She wanted to leave with Tang Gu.

Everything would be fine once she left the Silver Moon Mountain Manor and the ritual array.

Nan Longnu bowed slightly with an unsightly expression, “Goodbye!”

Just then, a voice suddenly came from Nan Longnu’s sleeve. “Bodhisattva Nan Longnu, he is tricking you. Don’t believe him!”

The voice coming from Nan Longnu’s sleeves surprised everyone.

“The Past Buddha?” Tang Gu’s expression changed.

Nan Longnu flung out her sleeve, releasing an ancient bronze lamp. The lamp wick on that ancient lamp suddenly blazed, and the flame danced as the Past Buddha’s voice rang out. “Capture them!”

“What? You lied to me?” Nan Longnu glared at Long Sanqian.

“Zombie! Kill her!” Long Sanqian pointed at Nan Longnu while holding the zombie token.

“Roar! Roar! Roar!”

Before Nan Longnu could move in the Silver Moon Hall’s plaza, all the surroundings zombies suddenly roared and charged her.

“How audacious!” Nan Longnu immediately turned furious from embarrassment.

Boom!

There were experts among the zombies pouncing on her, and a loud sound rang out as the impact demolished the plaza, reducing it to so much rubble.

The blast knocked Long Sanqian into the air, but Yun Mo and Tang Gu immediately caught him.

“You! Bring us out!” Long Sanqian pointed to a Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie while holding the zombie token.

Boom!

That zombie swept his sleeves out, and a black wind blew. The wind immediately picked up Long Sanqian, Yun Mo, and Tang Gu and brought them out of the ritual array.

“Halt!” Nan Longnu roared as she gave chase.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The surrounding zombie guards chased after Nan Longnu, blocking her.

Whoosh!

Under the guidance of the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie, the three rushed out of the ritual array.

Whoosh!

Tang Gu immediately took out a zither puppet.

“Father, this child has rescued First Brother. We have escaped from the Silver Moon Mountain Manor. Quickly, come and rescue this child!” Tang Gu yelled at the zither puppet. 33926

Buzz!

The zither puppet instantly transmitted his voice to Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Boom!

A loud sound rang out in the Silver Moon Mountain Manor as a powerful explosion sent shock waves into the surroundings. Countless buildings in the city collapsed.

“Quickly, flee towards the Silver Moon Sea. We can’t bring harm to the citizens!” Yun Mo yelled.

“Bring us to the Silver Moon Sea!” Long Sanqian pointed to the distance while holding the zombie token.

Whoosh!

The Middle Heavenly Palace Realm zombie quickly brought the three towards the Silver Moon Sea.

“Halt!” Nan Longnu roared behind.

Nan Longnu chased the group. Although she did not know the details, she knew Tang Gu had tricked her. They must know some secret. Furthermore, the Past Buddha had instructed her to capture them.

Nan Longnu was a peak Middle Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator. Although the zombies were powerful, they could not stop her.

Nan Longnu knocked the many zombies aside and rushed towards the Silver Moon Sea.

Naturally, the many zombies would not let her go, giving relentless chase.

A large group of experts flew towards the Silver Moon Sea.

Along the way, Tang Gu felt incredibly anxious. He sent another message: “Father, this child is fleeing towards the Silver Moon Sea. Hurry! Quickly, send someone to save this child!”

The sudden change in the Silver Moon Mountain Manor caused a commotion throughout the Silver Moon Sea. Many people started sending messages everywhere.

------

Emperor’s study, Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Gu Hai and Shangguan Hen had just received word from the Mosquito Daoist and were waiting for the Mosquito Daoist to find Gu Qin’s souls when another zither puppet in the study spoke.

“Father, this child has rescued First Brother. We have escaped from the Silver Moon Mountain Manor. Quickly, come and rescue this child!” that zither puppet yelled.

Gu Hai’s expression suddenly changed, as he knew who that zither puppet was connected to. Gu Tang? Did something happen to Gu Tang?

Gu Tang would normally not seek help from me when he gets into trouble. For him to issue a distress call, he must be in grave danger.

“Shangguan Hen, immediately rush to the Silver Moon Mountain Manor as fast as possible. Save Gu Tang—no, Tang Gu. You know him. Go quickly. Bring this zither puppet to facilitate easy communication. Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!” Gu Hai ordered anxiously.

There was no time to waste. Shangguan Hen’s cultivation was higher, so he could move faster. Gu Hai had no time to explain. After saying “hurry” five times, he shoved the zither puppet into Shangguan Hen’s hands.

Shangguan Hen naturally understood the gravity of the situation. He picked up the zither puppet and promptly rushed towards Silver Moon City.

Boom!

A moment after exiting the study, Shangguan Hen was already flying into the horizon.

Gu Hai’s face sank as he picked up all the zither puppets in the study with a sweep of his arm. Then he stepped forward, and his figure flashed, leaving the study.

Gu Hai immediately went to Gu Qin’s residence.

Gu Hai already knew someone else’s souls were in Gu Qin’s body. Hence, he had to subdue Gu Qin immediately, or at least prevent Gu Qin from contacting anyone.

Whoosh!

Gu Hai instantly arrived outside the hall where Gu Qin was.

“Who is it?!” A guard rushed out.

That guard felt startled at seeing Gu Hai. Then he bowed respectfully. “Your Reverence!”

“Where is the crown prince?” Gu Hai asked.

“In the hall.”

Gu Hai pushed open the hall’s door.

A zither puppet stood in front of Gu Qin.

“Reporting—”

Gu Hai opened the door and entered as the zither puppet said, “Reporting”; it had not had enough time to say anything else before Gu Qin reacted and put it away.

“Imperial Father? Why are you here?” Gu Qin asked, feeling confused.

“Father is feeling somewhat frustrated, so I came to chat with you.” Gu Hai revealed a faint smile.

“Oh? What’s wrong, Father?” Gu Qin asked in confusion.

“It’s about your mother.” Gu Hai frowned slightly.

“Mother?” Gu Qin’s expression changed.

“Let’s go. Accompany us for a walk,” Gu Hai said.

“Yes!” Gu Qin nodded.

Gu Qin followed Gu Hai. The two walked out of the residence and flew towards the palace. They soon arrived at a small valley behind the palace, where Chen Xianer’s grave was.

“Your Reverence!” the surrounding guards greeted respectfully.

Gu Hai nodded in acknowledgment.

“Do you remember your mother?” Gu Hai asked.

“Naturally, this child does not dare to forget. I recall when this child was young….” Gu Hai appeared upset.

The souls in Gu Qin’s body had clear memories of Gu Qin’s childhood. He immediately mentioned them, not showing any flaws.

If not for Gu Hai confirming the problem with Gu Qin, it would be hard to tell Gu Qin was a fake.

“Father, why did you suddenly ask about Mother?” Gu Qin asked, feeling confused.

“Your Mother is in Han Destruction City!” Gu Hai frowned.

Gu Qin’s expression changed. “Han Destruction City? The White Emperor? How can that be? Why would the White Emperor ally with the Wu Imperial Dynasty?”

The situation had indeed turned extremely complicated.

Gu Hai sighed. “Indeed. We had initially prepared a plan to destroy Han Destruction City. Now…”

“A plan to destroy the city?” Gu Qin’s expression changed again, betraying a slight shock.

Gu Hai has already thought of a plan to deal with the Wu Imperial Dynasty with the little time he had? Is this true?

As the two chatted, a guard said respectfully, “Your Reverence, Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciple is at the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, seeking an audience.”

“Oh?” Gu Hai said, feeling suspicious.

Gu Hai and Gu Qin rushed to the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Chen Tianshan, Mo Yike, Kong Xuan, and Gao Xianzhi had come after hearing the news. A woman stood in the plaza.

“Your Reverence!” Everyone bowed when they saw Gu Hai.

“Sect Master Heavenly Access’s disciple, Holy Mother Jin Ling?” Gu Hai said, his face sinking slightly.

“Gu Hai, you came? This is a letter from Master for you. See for yourself!” Jin Ling said coldly.

Gu Hai received the letter and tore it open to read. His expression immediately turned cold.

“Your Reverence, what’s wrong?” Kong Xuan asked.

Gu Hai passed the letter around for everyone to read.

“What? They will execute the White Emperor two days later?” Kong Xuan’s expression changed.

“How dare you?!” Gu Qin roared while glaring.

Everyone showed a sullen expression as they looked at Jin Ling.

Jin Ling sneered as she looked at Gu Hai. “Gu Hai, don’t think we are just putting on a show. Indeed, Sima Changkong planned this. Using the White Emperor to lure you out is indeed a trap. However, Master said he would bring this act to reality!”

“How dare he?!” Gu Hai glared.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from .com.

“Why won’t he dare to? If you don’t come to Han Destruction City two days later, Master will personally execute the White Emperor. Hah! The White Emperor even foolishly thought a few zombies could protect her? What a joke! If Master wants to kill her, she will die for sure. Master does not care if Sima Changkong only wants to put on an act or not. Master will execute the White Emperor at noon two days later. It’s up to you whether or not to come. Humph!” Jin Ling said coldly.

After finishing, Jin Ling turned around and flew into the distance, not caring about Gu Hai’s reaction.

“Kill the White Emperor?” Kong Xuan’s expression turned sullen.

“Father, what should we do now? Sect Master Heavenly Access will do it, given his character.” Gu Qin also felt incredibly anxious.
