Chapter 25 (Part 2) - The Demon Servant, Little Naga Girl

Gao Xianzhi wanted to follow Gu Hai, but Gu Hai lightly waved his hand, indicating Gao Xianzhi should stop.

"Who are you?" the red-robed cultivator asked coldly.

At this moment, everyone looked at Gu Hai, curiously, dismissively, scornfully, and shamefully. Meanwhile, Gu Hai walked to the center slowly.

"The little girl has already said that she is just a slave, that's all. What can she know? Everyone here is an expert from various sects, there is no need to keep holding her, yeah? Ladies and gentlemen, the Xiantian Endgame World is too big; why don't we head deeper, we could always find other people to ask!? Why are we wasting time here?" Gu Hai once again stepped forward while he was speaking.

Amid the crowd, Song Qingshu and Chen Tianshan's eyes went wide as they stared at Gu Hai.

Chen Tianshan wanted to step forward, but he was stopped by Song Qingshu. Song Qingshu narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Gu Hai.

"Who in the f**king h.e.l.l do you think you are? You want to free this monster? Do you want to die?" the red-robed cultivator grabbed the sword and pointed at Gu Hai as he spoke in a cold tone.

The naga stared at Gu Hai, her eye filled with antic.i.p.ation, "Senior, please save me!"

"I just want to save her, why, do you want to stop me?" Gu Hai retorted coldly.

"Who are you?" suddenly someone amid the crowd shouted.

Obviously, everyone wanted to vent their hate on the naga yet they had suddenly been stopped by a person. So naturally, they were unhappy. At this instant, a lot of cultivators who had lost their friends and families in the previous fight slowly focused their anger on Gu Hai as bursts of killing intent gradually covered Gu Hai.

"Your humble servant is the Ascendant Hall Water Throne Master, ladies and gentlemen, do you want to fight with my Ascendant Hall?" Gu Hai asked coldly.

"Ascendant Hall?" The countenances of most of the people in the crowd suddenly changed for the worse.

Just as Gu Hai had guessed, everyone had seemingly heard of Ascendant Hall. Many people furrowed their brows. Whereupon, the commotion calmed down a lot.

Amid the crowd, a big fellow with a curly beard narrowed his eyes suddenly. A few subordinates behind him stared angrily at Gu Hai, but the curly-bearded fellow waved his hand to stop his few subordinates from glaring and quietly watch the events in the middle.

Slowly, Gu Hai walked up to the red-robed cultivator while a sliver of a smile appeared on his lips.

At first, the red-robed cultivator flinched back, albeit slightly, but suddenly, the red-robed cultivator's expression changed as he said, glaring, "Humph, you cheating b.a.s.t.a.r.d, there is no Water Throne Master in the Ascendant Hall!"

"That's right, the Ascendant Hall has five thrones; metal, wood, water, fire, earth. Among which, the Water Throne has already been vacant for twenty years, how could there be Water Throne Master?" another man suddenly snapped.

"Brat, you dare to cheat me?" the red-robed stared at Gu Hai angrily. A burst of slaughter qi soared and came gus.h.i.+ng down.

ROAR!

Suddenly, Gu Hai released the True Qi around his body.  A tyrannical and evil qi spread around him along with a roar; a slightly purplish dragon True Qi emerged from Gu Hai. Suddenly, the red-robed cultivator's slaughter qi was dispersed.

"En?" Amid the crowd, the curly-beard fellow's expression changed a bit.

Countless cultivators in the crowd also stared with wide-opened eyes at Gu Hai.

"True Dragon Xiantian Exercise? Yes, he must be telling the truth!"

"Whoever dares to cultivate the True Dragon Xiantian Exercise without authorization, he or she would have his or her entire family eliminated! He is speaking the truth! If he isn't the Water Throne Master of Ascendant Hall, it will be impossible for him to cultivate this exercise!"

"Ascendant Hall?"

Everyone in the crowd broke into a discussion. Those who were glaring at Gu Hai in anger were slowly suppressed.

Slowly, Gu Hai walked to the boulder and looked at the naga nailed at the boulder; his eyes flickered with a could-not-bear look.

SPLITCH!

Gu Hai gently removed a long sword.

AHHHH! The naga screamed in pain, but she still endured it.

Her tears could not stop flowing as she looked at Gu Hai gratefully.

Everyone looked at Gu Hai, while the red-robed cultivator who was acting the most arrogantly previously glared at Gu Hai with animosity. Obviously, he had lost his face and was extremely upset.

"Impossible, when I came, the Ascendant Hall didn't have any Water Throne Master, the Ascendant Hall Lord was on the Nine-Five Island at that time, together with the Chief of my sect. Who are you?" the red-robed cultivator said coldly.

"Oh? It seems you are a fellow-islander!? You are indeed correct, the Hall Lord was indeed on the Nine-Five Island. I was just appointed as the Throne Master, this humble servant is Gu Hai, maybe you have heard of me?" Gu Hai kept on removing the long sword from the naga's body, without even turning his head.

"Gu Hai? How did you become younger? No, weren't you directing the Chen and Song battle? How did you come? Is-is it the Song Kingdom lost?" the red-robed cultivator's visage worsened.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes as he turned his head to looked at the red-robed cultivator.

"Do you know me? Who are you?" Gu Hai knit his brow into furrows as he continued looking at the red-robed cultivator.

"Pang Tianlong from the Song Kingdom!" the red-robed cultivator glared at Gu Hai coldly.

"Pang Tianlong, the son of Royal Tutor Pang? I heard that you cultivation had entered the Xiantian Stage ten years ago and then, you joined the Song Jia Sect?" Gu Hai said, narrowing his eyes.

"Who could have thought that a shriveled old man like you could also become a Xiantian Stage cultivator? You just entered the Xiantian Stage? En? Right, how did you join the Ascendant Hall? When I left, you were just handed over the command of Chen Kingdom army. Just a few months have pa.s.sed!? You...you? Is it?" Pang Tianlong's countenance worsened.

Gu Hai totally ignored him and continued pulling out the sword from the naga.

SPLITCH!

Just as the last sword was removed from the naga's body, she fell on the ground. Her entire body was covered in blood, she was incomparably weak. Immediately, Gu Hai caught her.

"What about the Song Kingdom? Gu Hai, what about the Song Kingdom?" inquired Pang Tianlong with frantic eyes.

"Song Qingshu, manage your disciple, it's d.a.m.n noisy!" Gu Hai said coldly, as he glanced at Song Qingshu in the crowd.

Following which, the expression on Song Qingshu's face froze. Meanwhile, Pang Tianlong and many others suddenly saw Song Qingshu.

"Martial Uncle?" Pang Tianlong immediately shouted.

Song Qingshu glanced at Pang Tianlong before taking another look at Gu Hai. He answered, as the expression on his face flickered ever so slightly, "Throne  Master, although he is a Song Jia Sect disciple, I am not. Therefore, I don't have the right to direct him!"

"En?" Gu Hai narrowed his eyes as he looked at Song Qingshu.

"Martial Uncle, what happened to Song Kingdom?" Pang Tianlong asked anxiously.

"Song Kingdom is already destroyed. Even your father was compelled to death by Gu Hai!" replied Song Qingshu coldly, while looking back at Gu Hai.

"What?" Pang Tianlong's eyes went wide as he stared at Gu Hai.

A sliver of a sneer appeared on Gu Hai's lips as he looked at Song Qingshu.

"Gu Hai, did you kill my father?"  Pang Tianlong demanded, glaring at Gu Hai. The long sword in his hand pointed at Gu Hai; it seemed he could hack Gu Hai into pieces anytime.

"Song Qingshu, are you sure you can't control him?" Gu Hai said calmly, gazing at Song Qingshu.

Song Qingshu remained silent for a while, but finally, he said, nodding, "Throne Master, please forgive me, I have now joined the Ascendant Hall and it can be considered as me breaking away from the Song Jia Sect. So naturally, I don't have the authority to order him. Furthermore, even in the past, I had no power to control him, he is not my disciple. It's a grudge between him and Throne Master. I, even more so, cannot take responsibility!"

"En!" Gu Hai nodded.

"Gu Hai, did you really force my father to death? Senior Brothers, please help me take down Gu Hai! I will hack him to pieces!" shouted Pang Tianlong suddenly.

Amid the crowd, just as the group of Song Jia Sect disciples was on the point of stepping forward...

"Oh? Are you asking them to help you? Does the Song Jia Sect want to fight with my Ascendant Hall until one of is destroyed?" asked Gu Hai coldly. 

While speaking, Gu Hai glanced at the Song Jia Sect disciples who were about to step forward with a glare filled with slaughter qi. The congregation of Song Jia Sect disciples suddenly became stiff as they stopped with frowns on their faces. Everyone looked at Song Qingshu.

"Can't you see Song Qingshu? Pang Tianlong isn’t qualified to control you. If you take another step, it will mean that Song Jia Sect wants to fight with my Ascendant Hall. Do you want to come?" Gu Hai glared with wide-open eyes.

In the blink of an eye. the congregation of Song Jia Sect disciples started hesitating. They involuntarily stepped back.

"You, you!" Pang Tianlong's countenance froze before a helpless look appeared on his face.

After all, he didn't have the prestige to ask his senior brothers to shed all pretenses of cordiality with the Ascendant Hall.

"Humph, Gu Hai, how can you be the Throne Master of Ascendant Hall? You have just entered the Xiantian Stage not too long ago, you can go to h.e.l.l!" Pang Tianlong suddenly swung his long sword at Gu Hai.
