The Peacock Plume slashed at Li Haoran with a destructive might. Before the Peacock Plume arrived, the rocks beneath it were crushed by the powerful pressure.
"The Ninth Young Master's cloud beast is the Great Myōjin?" Gu Hai was shocked.
The grand formation could condense the image of a fierce general. Gu Hai's cloud beast was the Overlord, Xiang Yu. However, the Ninth Young Master's cloud beast was the Great Myōjin!
Li Haoran knew the Peacock Plume was extraordinary when he saw the aura. His expression darkened as he stepped toward the grand formation. The golden sword in his hand slashed out a huge golden energy sword.
Boom!
The golden sword and the Peacock Plume clashed, creating a super strong storm. The huge shockwave swept up the dust in the surroundings.
"What do you think? Shenji Battalion Commander? Hahahahaha! "The Ninth Young Master's laughter rang out.
"Humph!" Li Haoran shouted. His body shone with a dazzling golden light. He charged into the grand formation with a loud boom.
Rumble …!
Golden and white lights immediately shot out from the grand formation. The Peacock Plume and the golden sword clashed repeatedly. Rocks and dust rose into the air.
The grand formation was already enveloped by the grand formation. With the dust and rocks flying everywhere, the surrounding cultivators could not see clearly.
"Retreat!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
He grabbed Long Wanqing and led his subordinates to retreat quickly.
"Gu Hai, it's all your fault!" Long Wanqing shouted gloomily.
"Hall Master, I hope I'm wrong. Sorry for the inconvenience!" Gu Hai said in a deep voice.
The group quickly retreated into the distance.
Rumble …!
The battle between the Ninth Young Master and Li Haoran intensified. The center of the battle became even more chaotic.
"How did you get here?" Gu Hai looked at Guqin.
"Venerable Liu Nian arranged for the Hall Master's three servants to be treated in our Gu Residence. Then, he went to look for the Hall Master. Later, we received a letter from our father. After making all the arrangements, Branch Minister Shangguan was prepared to bring the Yellow Legion over. However, the Hall Master's three servants lent the hall master's White Cloud flying ship to us. As the flying ship is extremely fast, I wanted to come and take a look. However, when I arrived, I was stopped outside the Dragon Pinning Sect.
"You came just in time. When I saw you earlier, I thought I was mistaken!" Gu Hai said with a smile.
"As soon as I received my father's signal, I asked Director Shangguan and the others to set up the formation!" Guqin smiled.
"Shangguan Hen, Ding Rui's body …" Gu Hai looked at Shanghai Hen.
"Don't worry, my Lord. I have already arranged for my subordinates to collect the corpse!" Shangguan Hen said solemnly.
Gu Hai nodded. With Shangguan Hen around, Xiao Chen did not have to worry much.
The group retreated again and again.
However, Long Wanqing looked at the distant ritual array worriedly, sulking at Gu Hai.
Rumble …!
The battle was extremely ferocious. The Shenji Battalion disciples tried to charge in several times, but they were all forced back, feeling incredibly anxious.
This wait lasted for four hours.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a beam of light shot over from the horizon.
Boom!
It was a flying ship that had arrived in front of them in an instant.
"Venerable Liu Nian!" Gu Hai shouted.
The flying ship immediately stopped before Gu Hai. Venerable Liu Nian looked at Long Wanqing in pleasant surprise.
However, when Venerable Liu Nian saw Gu Hai's crimson saber against Long Wanqing's neck, his face sank.
"Venerable Liu Nian, I'll leave the hall master to you. I have repaid the favor to the hall master," Gu Hai said with a smile.
After saying that, Gu Hai let go of Long Wanqing.
Whoosh! Venerable Liu Nian instantly arrived before Long Wanqing, shielding her behind him.
"Hall Master, are you alright?" Venerable Liu Nian asked worriedly.
"Venerable Liu Nian, capture that maniac Gu Hai for me!" Long Wanqing said angrily.
"Hall Master, my father saved you!" Guqin immediately shouted in dissatisfaction.
"Oh?" Venerable Liu Nian revealed some doubt.
Venerable Liu Nian turned his head and saw the Shenji Battalion's flying ship not far away.
"He did save me. However, he went against his superiors. Venerable Liu Nian, help me capture Gu Hai. I feel uncomfortable! "Long Wanqing said angrily.
"What's going on?" Venerable Liu Nian asked, feeling confused.
Although Long Wanqing was angry, Venerable Liu Nian could tell that Long Wanqing could only throw a tantrum like a child. She was not that serious.
Gu Hai did not hide anything, recounting what happened earlier to Venerable Liu Nian.
"Oh? That is Li Haoran! "Venerable Liu Nian suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Hall Master, I offended you earlier. Now that Venerable Liu Nian is here, I have already returned the favor. Regardless of whether I offended my superiors or held Hall Master hostage, I only wanted to return Hall Master a favor. Now that the favor is done, I have nothing else to ask for. I will return this crimson saber to Hall Master. Also, this is Elite Hall's Water Division Medallion. Once I retrieve the items inside, I will return them to Hall Master."
"Division Master Gu, what are you doing?!" Venerable Liu Nian immediately stopped Gu Hai.
"Huh?"
"Division Master Gu, this time, Hall Master is fine because you risked your life to protect her. How can Hall Master blame you? Please return the Water Division Master Gu's Water Division Master. You are already the Water Division Master. No one can erase your identity, "Venerable Liu Nian said as he blocked Gu Hai.
Gu Hai frowned slightly, looking like he wanted to say something.
"Hall Master!" Venerable Liu Nian looked at Long Wanqing with a stern expression.
"I … I did not say that I wanted to remove him from his position," Long Wanqing said, feeling somewhat wronged.
"Division Master Gu, please take back your order. Now that Elite Hall is in trouble, we will need Division Master Gu's help. Hall Master is inexperienced and does not see many things as clearly as Division Master Gu. Division Master Gu also needs to provide more assistance. Don't mention returning the token again," Venerable Liu Nian said solemnly.
"But …" Gu Hai looked at Long Wanqing.
Long Wanqing showed an increasingly wronged expression. However, when she saw Venerable Liu Nian suddenly glaring at her, she pouted and said, "I will listen to Venerable."
Gu Hai looked at Long Wanqing in confusion.
"Division Master Gu, you had better put it away. Hall Master and I have made a pact. I can make the decision on this matter," Venerable Liu Nian said.
"Alright, I'll keep it for now. However, I will be leaving soon. I will return this crimson saber to Hall Master." Gu Hai put away the token and handed over the crimson saber.
Venerable Liu Nian glared at Long Wanqing.
Long Wanqing felt even more wronged. She looked at Gu Hai and said, "Division Master Gu, I'll leave this crimson saber to you for now."
"Huh?" Gu Hai looked at Venerable Liu Nian in confusion.
At this moment, Gu Hai finally understood. Although Venerable Liu Nian was usually very easygoing, once he made a decision, Long Wanqing would not go against it. Venerable Liu Nian was like a teacher, teaching Long Wanqing how to behave and how to handle things, including how to control Elite Hall.
Once Long Wanqing made a mistake, Venerable Liu Nian would definitely help her correct it.
"Division Master Gu, if not for you, Hall Master would have been in grave danger. Although this saber is precious, it is definitely not as precious as Hall Master's life. Just keep it for now. In the future, when Hall Master's maternal grandfather wants to take it back, you can return it. Just treat it as gratitude for your contribution this time," Venerable Liu Nian said solemnly.
"Alright. Many thanks, Hall Master!" Gu Hai nodded.
Then, Venerable Liu Nian asked Long Wanqing for some details. As Venerable Liu Nian listened, he looked at Gu Hai with a strange light in his eyes.
Boom!
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out in the distance, and thousands of rocks exploded. The battle between Li Haoran and the Ninth Young Master came to a stop.
The fog scattered.
A person stood on each of the two peaks: the golden-armored Li Haoran and the white-clad Ninth Young Master.
The two exchanged glances. For a moment, neither made a move.
"A disciple of the Sky Chess Pavilion?" Li Haoran asked coldly.
Ninth Young Master smiled faintly and said, "Back then, you made a big fuss in the Innate Puzzle World, saying that if not for Old Mister Guan Qi, you would have flattened the Heavenly Go Pavilion. Is the Sky Chess Pavilion so weak in your eyes? What do you think of me? "
Li Haoran retorted with a sullen expression, "Who are you to the Sky Chess Pavilion? How come I have never heard of you before? "
Clearly, Li Haoran did not gain the upper hand in the earlier battle.
"I am just a nameless junior. I am the weakest member of the Sky Chess Pavilion!" the Ninth Young Master said with a smile.
Of Guanqi's nine sons, the Ninth Young Master was indeed the weakest.
"The weakest?" Li Haoran showed an unsightly expression. Is this a slap to my face?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the Ninth Young Master's subordinate steered the flying ship to the Ninth Young Master's side. The Ninth Young Master stepped onto the flying ship.
"You want to leave?" Li Haoran's expression turned cold.
"You can't do anything to me, right?" the Ninth Young Master said with a sinister smile.
"Humph!" Li Haoran snorted coldly. However, he did not object.
The Ninth Young Master turned his head and suddenly looked in Gu Hai's direction.
"Mr. Goode, you owe me a favor!" the Ninth Young Master guffawed.
Li Haoran turned his head to look in Gu Hai's direction. When he saw Venerable Liu Nian, his expression sank.
However, Gu Hai looked at the Ninth Young Master. Then, he bowed slightly and said, "Many thanks. If there is a chance in the future, I will return the favor!"
"Hahahaha! With your promise, this trip to Nine-Five Island was not in vain. We have already lingered here for some time. It is time to leave. Let's meet again in the future!" the Ninth Young Master said with a smile.
Whoosh!
The flying ship quickly flew off in a certain direction.
Gu Hai sent off the Ninth Young Master with his eyes. Countless cultivators in the surroundings looked at Gu Hai curiously.
"Didn't Gu Hai fall out with the Sky Chess Pavilion's disciple?"
"What was going on earlier? Is Gu Hai very familiar with that Sky Chess Pavilion disciple? "
"Who is that person? Even Li Haoran can't do anything to him? "
…
…
…
The countless surrounding cultivators showed curious expressions.
However, Gu Hai and Venerable Liu Nian looked at Li Haoran together.
"Battalion Commander Li! Didn't you want to bring Hall Master to the Peony Sect earlier? This old man will go with you. I hope that Battalion Commander Li does not mind! "Venerable Liu Nian said with a faint smile.
Li Haoran's eyebrows trembled slightly as he suppressed his emotions. Then, he forced a smile and said, "How could this old man dare to dislike Venerable? It would be great if Venerable could follow me! "
"Division Master Gu, you are very capable!" Li Haoran suddenly looked coldly at Gu Hai.
"Battalion Commander Li, you are too polite!" Gu Hai did not budge.
"Will Division Master Gu come with us?" Li Haoran asked seriously.
"No need. I am no longer interested in the dragon vein!" Gu Hai shook his head.
"Huh?" Li Haoran felt slightly stunned.
"Hall Master, Venerable Liu Nian, Gu Hai will take his leave first!" Gu Hai said with a slight bow.
After saying that, Gu Hai quickly led his subordinates away.
As Long Wanqing watched Gu Hai leave, the grievance in her eyes disappeared, replaced by embarrassment. After listening to Gu Hai and Venerable Liu Nian's descriptions, Long Wanqing understood what Gu Hai had done during this time.
Entering the First Song Sect, the Clear River Sect, and the Dragon Pinning Sect were all dangerous places. To save her, Gu Hai did not hesitate, risking his life. In the end, she was still blaming him?
"Gu Hai, sorry for earlier!" Long Wanqing called out to Gu Hai's back.
Gu Hai suddenly stopped and turned around. When he saw Long Wanqing's sincere apology, Gu Hai smiled knowingly.
After nodding, Gu Hai did not say anything else. Then, he quickly led Guqin and the others away.
