The Gu Residence: In a large hall:
After paying respects to his deceased wife, Gu Hai returned. His empty mind was once again enveloped by layers of might. He wore embroidered robes as he sat in the host's seat in the hall.
Guqin, Gu Han, Gao Xianzhi, Scar, Shangguan Hen, and Chen Tianshan sat on either side of Gu Hai.
Gu Hai sipped his tea as he listened to Chen Tianshan explain everything with a frown.
"At the start, you arrived at the Clear River Sect. Then, the Clear River Sect disciples lured you to a valley. After that, the Clear River Sect and First Song Sect disciples surrounded you. As you fled, you saw the First Song Sect Master and fifteen Earth Legion disciples die in an ambush?" Gu Hai said seriously as he sipped his tea.
"Yes. Three-hundred-odd of us were injured, and we were pursued along the way. However, my Earth Legion is made up of elites. Unless Song Pingsheng personally attacked, he would not be able to hold us back. Later, as we fled, we captured a Clear River Sect disciple. After interrogating him, we learned that Song Pingsheng had been plotting to destroy the Clear River Sect since he returned from the Great Feng Mafia Family. The sect master's whereabouts are unknown. Even the Elite Hall Master was captured, "Chen Tianshan said bitterly.
"Where are the captured people?" Gu Hai asked seriously.
"I brought them back. I did not kill them. Milord, please wait!" Chen Tianshan immediately ran out of the hall.
Soon, several evil men escorted an azure-clad man into the hall.
"Let me go. Martial Uncle, I was forced to do this as well!" that azure-clad man begged as he looked at Chen Tianshan.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly as he turned his head to look at Shangguan Hen.
Shangguan Hen nodded and stepped forward. When he reached that azure-clad man, he narrowed his eyes and suddenly extended his hand to tap that azure-clad man's head.
Boom!
Suddenly, a large amount of scarlet energy came out of that azure-clad man's body. The azure-clad man's eyes suddenly turned red.
"Hualala!"
His long hair suddenly turned into small snakes.
"Ah!" The expression of the evil men escorting him changed dramatically, nearly letting go.
"Bang!"
Shangguan Hen suddenly tapped that azure-clad man's forehead. That azure-clad man suddenly trembled, and the small snakes on his head drooped. His entire body went limp.
"What's going on? On his head? "Chen Tianshan exclaimed in horror.
"This person probably knew that he wouldn't be able to escape even if he transformed, so he had been hiding it all this time! Heh! "Shangguan Hen sneered.
"It looks like that Elder Bai is not the only one who spirit-transformed. Many people in the First Song Sect should have been spirit-transformed as well. Even the people who submitted to them were spirit-transformed," Scar said with an unsightly expression.
"How were you demonized? Who else? "Gao Xianzhi asked directly.
"I, I, I …!" The man looked at everyone in horror.
"If you don't speak, you'll die!" Gao Xianzhi said coldly.
"I'll tell you, but I don't know. Master wanted to join the First Song Sect, so he brought us to the First Song Sect. At that time, I did not know what was going on. Later on, I fainted. When I woke up, I discovered that I had been modified. I could transform. I could no longer turn back!" that person said in horror.
"You were modified in the First Song Sect? That means that the great spirit should be in the First Song Sect! "Shangguan Hen said with a frown.
"Even if they worked together from the inside, the Clear River Sect could not have been destroyed in one day. Did the sect master not resist?" Chen Tianshan exclaimed while glaring.
"I'm not sure. That day, Master brought Song Pingsheng and a black-robed man into the Clear River Sect's protective ritual array. Then, he poisoned the sect master, the various martial uncles, and the Elite Hall people. At first, they did not feel anything. However, when the black-robed man waved his sleeve, surging red fog covered the entire Clear River Sect. Everyone was poisoned," that person said softly.
"The Clear River Sect Master and the Elite Hall Master were captured? Now, they are imprisoned in the Clear River Sect? What about Venerable Liu Nian? "Gu Hai asked seriously.
Others might not notice, but Venerable Liu Nian was not to be trifled with. Gu Hai had interacted with him before. He would not make such a mistake.
"I don't know. Venerable Liu Nian is not there. I don't know where he went. Song Pingsheng is still interrogating the imprisoned Clear River Sect disciples," that person whispered.
"Venerable Liu Nian left?" Gu Hai asked seriously.
"Are you saying that all the Clear River Sect disciples are still alive?" Chen Tianshan's eyes lit up.
That person lowered his head, not daring to look at Chen Tianshan.
"Speak!" Chen Tianshan said while glaring.
"They are all basically dead. Song Pingsheng said that if they could not get Venerable Liu Nian's location, there was no need to continue living. So …" that person whispered.
"Killed them all?" Chen Tianshan suddenly sat down.
"More or less," that person whispered.
However, Shangguan Hen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did you kill them or eat them?"
"What?" Chen Tianshan goggled at the side. What does that mean?
Eat them?
That person lowered his head, not daring to say anything.
"Legate Shangguan, what do you mean? Eat what? "Chen Tianshan asked while glaring.
"I'll explain to you later." Shangguan Hen looked at that person again. "Where is the Elite Hall Master? Why did you capture the Elite Hall Master? "
"I don't know. However, that black-robed man brought the Elite Hall Master back to the First Song Sect. Song Pingsheng stayed behind to continue interrogating the Clear River Sect Master," that person whispered.
"Black-robed man? That great animal spirit, right? "Gu Hai gently tapped the table with his finger.
"Adoptive Father, earlier, Song Pingsheng sent people to capture us brothers to threaten Adoptive Father. This time, Legate Chen and the others escaped. Perhaps, Song Pingsheng will come here personally soon. He probably captured Adoptive Father not just to take revenge for the Great Feng Mafia Family but also to silence you, "Gu Han said with a frown.
"There is no need for him to come. I will go," Gu Hai said seriously.
"Division Master Gu, I already said what I need to say. I was forced to do this. I will definitely be a good person in the future. Please let me go, Division Master Gu!" that person said in horror as he knelt.
Shing!
At the side, Shangguan Hen stepped forward and pierced that person's forehead with his sword.
"You!" That person only managed to utter a single word before falling silent.
"Drag him away! Burn him! "Shangguan Hen said seriously.
"Yes!" The evil men escorting that monster immediately dragged him away.
"Legate Shangguan, perhaps …" Chen Tianshan said, feeling some pity.
"Legate Chen, don't listen to him. After he spirit transformed, he could no longer turn back. Eating humans is just a matter of time," Shangguan Hen said seriously.
"Eating humans? What do you mean? "Chen Tianshan asked while glaring.
"After being demonized, they will have some instincts to eat something from humans. I've seen people demonized by bat demons have an extreme desire for human blood. They can't control themselves. They are called vampires, half-human, half-demon. They are abandoned by the heavens. They enjoy human blood and use it to strengthen themselves. Their existence is like a demon. As for the person in front of you, he is a person who has been demonized by a snake demon. He has a strong desire for a human's heart and liver. Don't believe his words. When he sees a human's heart and liver, he will immediately pounce on it. Do you think we should release such a demon? "
"Eating people's hearts and livers? Then, my Clear River Sect disciples …? "Chen Tianshan goggled.
"You guessed right. A cultivator's heart and livers are naturally great nourishment to them," Shangguan Hen explained.
Chen Tianshan's scalp immediately turned numb. As he looked in the direction of the monster being dragged away, he no longer felt any pity for it.
"Spirit eating humans is evil! Humans eating humans is a demon! Such demons need to be killed! "Shangguan Hen said with certainty.
"Milord, Song Pingsheng should not be here soon, right? After all, Milord's ritual array is infamous. The Yuanying State will not be able to gain much from it, right? "Gao Xianzhi asked as she looked at Gu Hai.
Guqin, who was at the side, showed some worry on his face. This was because only Guqin knew that the ritual array outside the Gu Residence was just an empty fort.
"Guqin!" Gu Hai said sullenly.
"Present!" Guqin immediately answered.
"Bring over an empty visitation card!" Gu Hai said.
"Yes!" Guqin left quickly and soon returned with an exquisite visitation card.
Gu Han immediately went to the side to prepare a brush and ink.
However, he saw Gu Hai pick up the brush and write the words "declaration of war" on the visitation card. Then, he opened the visitation card and continued writing.
Anyone who offends my Elite Hall is an Elite Hall disciple. Everyone has the right to kill them!
Song Pingsheng, in a few days, I will lead three thousand Elite Hall disciples to the Clear River Sect and fight to the death with you!
Elite Hall, Water Division, Gu Hai!
Whoosh!
Xiao Chen gently blew on the ink, waiting for it to dry.
Clack!
Gu Hai closed the declaration of war.
Everyone watched from the side, but no one said anything.
"Gu Han!" Gu Hai said sullenly.
"Present!"
"Do you know who is a First Song Sect disciple among the people in the surroundings?" Gu Hai asked as he looked at Gu Han.
"Adoptive Father, rest assured. This Hulao Pass is filled with our people. Those cultivators who stayed in the four restaurants were recorded and sent over. There is a total of three First Song Sect disciples stationed here to monitor my Gu Residence!" Gu Han nodded. "That's right.
"Hand this declaration of war to a First Song Sect disciple and have him hand it to Song Pingsheng!" Gu Hai said sullenly.
"Yes!" Gu Han carefully received the declaration of war and immediately left the hall to make arrangements.
"Milord, are we really going to the Clear River Sect? When are we leaving? "Chen Tianshan asked anxiously.
After all, although the Clear River Sect was destroyed, the Clear River Sect Master was still imprisoned. Furthermore, the grudge of the destruction of the Clear River Sect filled Chen Tianshan's heart with boundless hatred.
"We are not going to the Clear River Sect!" Gu Hai said sullenly.
"Ah?"
"We are going to the First Song Sect!" Gu Hai said sullenly.
"The First Song Sect?"
"That's right. I wrote this declaration of war to Song Pingsheng only to stabilize him, so that he cannot act rashly for now. I need to buy more time for us. Save Long Wanqing first! "Gu Hai said sullenly.
"Yes!" Chen Tianshan could only answer.
"During the war between the Chen and Song Sects, I helped Chen Liangyi conquer a large territory. He should still listen to you, right?" Gu Hai looked at Chen Tianshan.
"Of course! He only managed to secure the throne in the Chen Nation because of me. How dare that brat not listen to me?! "Chen Tianshan glared.
"It's good that he listens. Immediately send a message to him. Have him prepare one hundred blank imperial edicts. We need them all stamped with the imperial seal. Do it quickly!" Gu Hai said.
"One hundred blank imperial edicts stamped with the imperial seal?" Chen Tianshan asked, feeling confused.
"I want to temporarily take over the Chen Nation. Use the imperial edicts to command the world. I will fill in the contents of the imperial edicts. Go quickly! "Gu Hai instructed.
"Ah? Yes! "Chen Tianshan answered.
