Volume 5 Chapter 187: Pinning the Blame on Kong Xuan

Book 5: Chapter 187: Pinning the Blame on Kong Xuan

Lu Ya flew up the fusang tree to a large city where Bing Ji's prison was.

"Crown Prince, Palace Master Supreme Genesis said no one is permitted to meet Bing Ji. I...I..."

A few men appearing to be guards blocked Lu Ya.

"Oh? Not even this crown prince?" Lu Ya's tone suddenly turned chilly.

The guards shivered.

"I..." One of the guards wanted to continue obstructing.

Lu Ya glared, and a saber qi shot out of his eyes.

Boom!

The saber qi from Lu Ya's eyes exploded that guard's body.

"Crown Prince, please forgive us!" The other guards immediately knelt.

Lu Ya did not bother looking at the others as he walked into the prison directly.

The guards remained kneeling on the ground, shuddering. No one dared to block Lu Ya again.

In the prison:

Bing Ji sat cross-legged as Lu Ya walked over. She opened her eyes slightly.

"Did you hear the sound outside?" Lu Ya asked.

Naturally, the sound outside referred to the Supreme Wa's voice as she tried to protect Gu Hai. Back then, the battle had been thunderous. The entire fusang tree had shaken intensely. How could she not have heard it?

Bing Ji's face sank as she looked at Lu Ya. Unexpectedly, Lu Ya had managed to capture Gu Hai.

Back then, Lu Ya wanted to kill Gu Hai. That was why Bing Ji convinced him to capture Gu Hai instead as the condition for her serving under him. That way, Gu Hai could be prepared to deal with Lu Ya. Unexpectedly, Lu Ya was this incredible.

"It is time for you to fulfill your promise. You will serve under me from now on. You can follow me out now," Lu Ya said coldly.

After some silence, Bing Ji shook her head.

"Huh?" Lu Ya's expression turned cold.

"Since Mother died, I have had nothing left in life to care for. Now, there is someone, His Majesty. You did manage to capture him, but he escaped your grasp," Bing Ji said.

"Escaped? How? He is currently locked up in Heaven City," Lu Ya said sullenly.

"That is not you capturing His Majesty. I can obey you as long as His Majesty is fine. However, His Majesty's life is currently not under your control." Bing Ji looked at Lu Ya coldly.

"What exactly do you want?" Lu Ya asked seriously.

"Bring His Majesty to my side, and I will serve you," Bing Ji said seriously.

Lu Ya stared at Bing Ji for a while before finally revealing a cold smile. "Alright. I do it just once."

Bing Ji's eyes lit up.

"Come with me, then. There's no need to remain in this prison anymore," Lu Ya said.

"Go with you?"

"Of course! We are going to Heaven City to get Gu Hai," Lu Ya said.

Bing Ji nodded, her eyes shining.

Lu Ya walked in front while Bing Ji followed.

Many guards immediately ran over in horror. "Crown Prince, please don't do this. You can't bring Bing Ji away. We won't be able to account for this!"

"Treasure, please turn around!" Lu Ya snorted coldly.

Suddenly, an Immortal Slaying Flying Saber flew out from the Immortal Slaying Calabash.

When the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber appeared, its light suddenly lit up the entire prison and the surrounding valley.

Whoosh!

After the Immortal Slaying Flying Saber flew out, it quickly returned to the Immortal Slaying Calabash.

When the light from the saber disappeared, nearly one hundred heads flew off. The guards that came forward to stop Lu Ya all lost their heads.

When the guards arriving saw this scene, they shivered. No one dared to object anymore as they fell to their knees.

"This crown prince does not like to explain myself. Alright. The way is clear now. Let's go," Lu Ya said coldly.

Bing Ji followed Lu Ya, stepping on the corpses as they left the prison.

Evil Valley, Heaven City:

Bang!

After Gu Hai swung the bone saber, Yehua's head flew off.

The black energy within the Life Ender Saber and the countless tiny skulls gnawed on Yehua's flesh.

"No!" Yehua exclaimed.

"We might not have the Life Executioner Saber, but we still have the Life Ender Saber." Gu Hai smiled coldly at the other five angels.

The five angels were stunned. They only reacted when Gu Hai's figure flashed as he charged at them.

"He killed Second Young Master?"

"No! Quickly save Second Young Master!"

"Men!"

The angels immediately cried out. However, Gu Hai moved swiftly, arriving before two angels, who were side by side, in an instant.

Shing!

The Life Ender Saber cut the two, leaving black energy. Gu Hai then charged at the last three angels, who were standing apart.

Shing!

Gu Hai cut off another angel's head before the remaining two noticed something wrong.

"Oh no! Leave quickly! Quickly find First Young Master!"

"Gu Hai is fighting back! Men! Come quickly!"

The two angels fled in horror. However, Gu Hai moved even faster and immediately caught up with one of the two-winged angels.

Boom!

Gu Hai chopped down that two-winged angel with one swing, leaving one final angel.

Knowing that escape was impossible, the last angel roared in fear, "Men! Come quickly! Gu Hai is escaping!"

That angel yelled with all his might. Strangely, his voice did not go far.

"What?" That angel's expression changed.

"It has been one night. Did you think that I did nothing? Calling for others? If you could do that, the guards and prisoners from last night could have done so too. How unfortunate! I have already laid a sound isolation ritual array," Gu Hai said coldly.

Shing!

Gu Hai stabbed that angel in the head.

Buzz!

The surging black energy quickly consumed the corpses of Yehua and the other angels.

Soon, only white bones remained.

Then, the black energy returned to the Life Ender Saber. Gu Hai walked to Yehua's bones.

Crack!

Gu Hai broke off a segment of the bones of Yehua's pinkie. Then, he took out a few peacock feathers and placed them in the finger joints.

Bang!

Gu Hai crushed the rest of Yehua's and the other angels' white bones into powder and scattered the bone powder into the surrounding mud. With the falling rain, the bone powder immediately melted into the mud, disappearing.

It was like nothing had happened before. The only proof was that segment of Yehua's finger bone with a few peacock feathers in the joints.

"Hah! I don't need you to prove anything. I just need the Supreme Genesis to suspect something. My disappearance and Yehua's death will cast doubts on Kong Xuan."

Gu Hai smiled coldly as he gently tossed the finger bones into the forest, then put away the spirit stones he used for the ritual arrays.

Just as Gu Hai was about to leave, beams of holy light shot over from a distance.

"First Young Master, there!"

"Crown Prince Lu Ya, Gu Hai is locked up in Evil Valley!"

Urgent voices came from a distance.

"Damn it!" Gu Hai's face sank.

He was just about to escape, and Lu Ya came.

Feeling depressed, he could only place the chains back on his body. Then, he drove some Mending Heaven Energy and restored the chains he broke earlier.

"There's also Lu Ya's golden net seal. Fortunately, I saved some of that energy," Gu Hai said with a deep breath.

Then, he used the Mending Heaven Energy to mend the golden net energy.

Buzz!

Gu Hai immediately used the golden net energy to seal his cultivation and huddled under the large rock.

He closed his eyes and pretended to be unconscious.

Boom!

When the holy light descended on Evil Valley, it immediately scattered the gloomy rain.

A flying ship appeared in the sky.

Yanxuan, Lu Ya, Bing Ji, and the angels were on that flying ship.

"Huh? Where are the guards?" Yanxuan glared.

"I-I don't know!" the angels immediately said in fear.

"Go and get Yehua to come over. Humph! Who is going to take responsibility if Gu Hai escapes?" Yanxuan glared.

Yanxuan was thoroughly enraged when he saw the valley. There is only Gu Hai in this large prison valley? It would be easy for Gu Hai to run like this.

"Huh?" Lu Ya suddenly narrowed his eyes.

Gu Hai is asleep? What happened here?

"Your Majesty!" Bing Ji cried out with heartache.

Gu Hai did not show his previous vigor with his current appearance. His clothes were in tatters, his cultivation was sealed, and chains bound him. Now, he was curled up in a corner, asleep?

Boom!

Many angels charged into the valley. At the same time, many other angels flew into the surroundings.

"Haha! Yanxuan, Father assigned the Supreme Genesis to watch over Gu Hai. You really did a good job of that," Lu Ya said coldly.

"Crown Prince Lu Ya, I will definitely conduct a thorough investigation," Yanxuan said anxiously.

Right now, everyone felt confused. How did the prison end up like this?

Lu Ya moved to Gu Hai quickly, then extended his hand to Gu Hai.

Buzz!

A layer of golden net appeared around Gu Hai's body.

"Oh? My seal is still around, and Gu Hai is just unconscious?" Lu Ya's face sank.

Gu Hai trembled and suddenly woke up.

"What's going on?" Gu Hai opened his eyes wide as he looked at Lu Ya.

Lu Ya narrowed his eyes at Gu Hai as though trying to ascertain the truth from Gu Hai's eyes. However, how could it be easy to make out anything from Gu Hai's expression?

"Gu Hai, what happened here? Where are the prisoners? Also, what about the guards?" Yanxuan yelled while glaring.

Gu Hai stood up in confusion and looked at the surroundings.

"How would I know? I just got here not long ago. Some black energy covered the valley, then...I know nothing else." Gu Hai shook his head.

"Black energy? What black energy?" Yanxuan glared.

Gu Hai looked coldly at Yanxuan, appearing unwilling to speak.

"Your Majesty, what happened to you?" Bing Ji rushed forward, looking worriedly at Gu Hai.

"Bing Ji, are you alright?" Gu Hai's face lit up in joy.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry. This subject implicated Your Majesty!" Bing Ji cried as she looked at Gu Hai.

"Why are you crying? It has nothing to do with you," Gu Hai consoled.

An angel flew over. "First Young Master! We can't find the second young master!"

"Keep searching! Humph! I only made a trip to Father's place, and he already went missing?" Yanxuan glared.

"Yes!" The angels immediately flew off.

Yanxuan stared at Gu Hai, trying to make out something wrong from Gu Hai's eyes.

However, even Lu Ya could not make out anything, what more Yanxuan?

"Alright. Yanxuan, I have already spoken with the Supreme Genesis. Gu Hai's custody will be temporarily handed to me. Don't worry. I won't kill him!" Lu Ya said.

"Father said that? However, what happened here? Only Gu Hai is here. I think..." Yanxuan frowned.

"There is nothing to think about. I sealed Gu Hai's cultivation. Who can undo Gu Hai's seal? Humph! He must have fainted. Go investigate the rest yourself," Lu Ya said coldly.

Lu Ya flung his sleeves out, sweeping up Gu Hai and Bing Ji as he soared into the sky and immediately flew out of Heaven City.

Looking at the light from Lu Ya's departure, Yanxuan showed a sullen expression. "Search! Search! Search! Get Yehua to meet me!"

"Yes!" the angels answered.
