Book 6: Chapter 060: The Flame Monarch

Gu Hais group flew throughout their journey and soon arrived at the Han Imperial Dynastys border.

Your Reverence, this officials zither puppet is moving again. Something happened in Borderless Heavenly Capital again, Chang Ming said with a bitter smile.

This is the third time already? Gu Hai looked at Chang Ming.

The first time was Prime Feng Yue. His cultivation seemed to have soared in the Thousand Islands Sea, so he came arrogantly to Borderless Heavenly Capital to capture Prime Shangguan. Fortunately, Your Reverence left the Mosquito Daoist there to defend the city. Even with Prime Feng Yues increased cultivation, he could not do anything about the Mosquito Daoist. He is camping outside Borderless Heavenly Capital, for now, waiting for us to return and walk into his trap.

The second time was Ao Sheng. They opened the Western Sea Dragon Palaces dragon mound. We dont know how they split the loot with Di s.h.i.+tian, but Ao Sheng grew stronger. Since he could not find us, he just went to Borderless Heavenly Capital to await Prime Ao Shuns return. Unfortunately, he met the Mosquito Daoist, so he is also camping outside Borderless Heavenly Capital.

As for the third time, Im not sure if the Mosquito Daoist can hold this group back, Chang Ming said with a bitter smile.

Who is it this time? Shangguan Hen frowned.

The Phoenix Prime, the Flame Monarch, Chang Ming said with a bitter smile.

Gu Hai suddenly raised his eyebrows. The Flame Monarch? The prime of the Yan Heavenly Dynastys national beast? We have never met him, and we do not have any conflicting interests.

The Flame Emperors arrival was very strange.

The Mosquito Daoist seems to be fighting him already. This subject does not know any other details, Chang Ming said with a bitter smile while shaking his head.

Gu Hai frowned heavily.

The Flame Monarch? He seems to have remained quietly in the Eastern Sea for one millennium already, right? He had never shown himself, not even when Long Zhanguo fought in the Heavenly Realm. Why did he come this time? Kong Xuan appeared slightly confused.

Was it Jiang Lianshan who instructed the Flame Monarch to come? Shangguan Hen felt confused as well.

Lets go! Speed up! We need to return to Borderless Heavenly Capital immediately, Gu Hai said.

Yes!

Boom!

The five turned into beams of light shooting toward Borderless Heavenly Capital.

A mountain outside Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Many dragons and black tortoises roamed this place. Two figures stood at the summit.

One was the black-robed Prime Feng Yue. He looked at Borderless Heavenly Capital with a cold gaze.

The other was the white-robed Ao Sheng. The purple-black aura on his face looked even denser. There were even very frightening-looking veins popping on his face.

Prime Feng Yue, it has been a long time. Your cultivation has already increased by this much? Ao Sheng said with a cold smile.

Same to you. I merely regained my past strength, unlike you. Your cultivation is not yours, right? Prime Feng Yue sneered.

As long as it is mine now, its fine, Ao Sheng said coldly.

I only want Shangguan Hen, Prime Feng Yue looked at Ao Sheng.

That is for the best. I only want Ao Shun. It shall be up to our individual abilities, then, Ao Sheng said indifferently.

However, who knows when they will return, Prime Feng Yue said with a frown.

His Reverence said Gu Hai would be concerned about the Han Imperial Dynasty and would return. When Gu Hai returns, Ao Shun and Shangguan Hen will also return. Furthermore, look. Didnt that Flame Monarch get more definite news? It means that Gu Hai will be returning soon. Ao Sheng looked coldly at the distant Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Indeed. This Gu Hai truly has enemies all over the world. The Flame Monarch? He has not left the Eastern Sea for close to a millennium already, right? Prime Feng Yue watched the fight at the distant Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Boom!

A loud sound shook s.p.a.ce slightly.

Surging flames surrounded Borderless Heavenly Capital, looking like a fiery world trying to burn up the entire floating island.

Inside:

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Countless mosquitoes formed a dark sea of mosquitoes, protecting Borderless Heavenly Capital within.

The loud sound from earlier came from the center, where a black figure and a fiery figure clashed.

The violent clash had s.p.a.ce trembling slightly. Then, the two figures stopped.

One was the Mosquito Daoist. He stood in the mosquito sea, showing a sullen expression.

The other was an extremely burly man. He wore fiery-red robes. Even his hair and whiskers were a fiery red. He appeared gloomy and ferocious, like a malevolent G.o.d.

Mosquito Daoist? You dare to pit yourself against me? the fiery-red-clad man said with a savage scowl.

Im just devotedly helping someone who asked me to. Sorry, Flame Monarch, you had better just wait, the Mosquito Daoist responded with a bitter smile.

The Mosquito Daoist had agreed to help Gu Hai take care of Borderless Heavenly Capital while Gu Hai was not around. Initially, he thought it would be simple. After all, who would dare to come and seek trouble after Gu Hai displayed his power previously?

However, only how long had pa.s.sed? Yet, wave after wave of people came. The first two waves were still alright. However, the third wave was the most horrifying.

Why did I agree back then? The Mosquito Daoist wished that he could slap himself.

Someone asked you for help? Devotedly helping? Hahahaha! Hahahaha! Mosquito Daoist, it is one thing for others to say this. However, you? Are you worthy? The Mosquito Daoists words had tickled the Flame Monarch pink.

The Flame Monarch had a certain understanding of the Mosquito Daoist. The Mosquito Daoist was a person who feared trouble, disliked frontal confrontations, and favored sneak attacks. Although the Mosquito Daoist was powerful, he never attacked casually. Furthermore, the Mosquito Daoist was amoral, able to do anything for his own benefit.

Now, he put on a righteous appearance. Who was he fooling?

The Mosquito Daoist did not think much of the Flame Monarchs criticism. His thick skin was practically unrivaled in the world; would he be afraid of some criticism?

Yes, this great me is cowardly. So what?

I would not involve myself in such problems if not for the Primal Essence Pearl.

Flame Monarch, where did you hear that Gu Hai is coming back? Since you say he is coming back, then just wait for him. If you have any grudges, wait for him to return and seek trouble with him. Why make things difficult for me? the Mosquito Daoist said with a forced smile.

Humph! This old man is going to occupy Borderless Heavenly Capital. I am venting my temper. Since Gu Hai took my thing, I will take his capital. So what? Mosquito Daoist, if you still dont move aside, I am going to get serious! the Flame Monarch said, scowling.

Dont! Dont! Dont! What did Gu Hai take from you? Just tell me. Dont make a move! the Mosquito Daoist exhorted with a bitter smile.

Ptooey! Are you even worthy of knowing this? The Flame Monarch glared.

As the Flame Monarch spoke, he waved. Then, surging fire rushed towards the mosquito sea again.

Indeed, your volatile temper still has not changed despite so many years. Hah The Mosquito Daoist appeared depressed.

Boom!

The Mosquito Daoist could only send the mosquito sea forward to clash with the fire, resisting the Flame Monarch while feeling depressed.

Aside from Ao Sheng and Prime Feng Yue, another group of people also watched from a distant mountain forest.

This group wore white robes and had the Taiji diagram embroidered on the chest of their robes.

The leader was the first senior brother of the Supreme Ascendant Dao, Xuan Du.

Xuan Du coldly watched the battle in front. He frowned slightly, saying, This Gu Hai truly has plenty of enemies. Not long after he left, three groups of experts came for him. How long has he cultivated? I dare say that every time he leaves, he causes trouble everywhere, attracting hatred.

First Senior Brother, at the very least, our information is right. A Supreme Ascendant Dao disciple behind smiled.

Xuan Du nodded. Indeed. Gu Hai and Zang Yulian disappeared for five years. Even after putting in a lot of effort, I could not find their location. Then, he suddenly reappeared?

However, Zang Yulian has not appeared yet, someone behind said worriedly.

It does not matter. We can find Zang Yulian by finding Gu Hai. Hah! It has been six years. I dont know whether to consider Gu Hai lucky or unlucky, Xuan Du said coldly.

First Senior Brother, that la.s.s Lin Waner, someone behind said with a frown.

Refer to her as the Supreme Ascendant! Xuan Du said coldly.

Huh? Wont the Supreme Ascendant be First Senior Brother sooner or later? someone behind flattered.

As long as she is still the Supreme Ascendant, she has to be addressed as the Supreme Ascendant. This is the rule, Xuan Du said coldly.

Huh? Yes, yes. The Supreme Ascendant. Would the Supreme Ascendant know about us coming here, First Senior Brother? It seems like there is an unclear relations.h.i.+p between her and Gu Hai, someone behind said worriedly.

The Heavenly Go Pavilion sent invitations to their Revival Convention to my Myriad Age Daoist Sects three lines of inheritance. The Essence Genesiss line of inheritance never questions anything. Essence Genesis has been in closed-door cultivation all the while. Naturally, he will not be going. Sect Master Heavenly Access has already departed. He should be near the Thousand Islands Sea now. As for our Supreme Ascendants line of inheritance? Haha! The Supreme Ascendant understands that she is not strong enough, so she is remaining in closed-door cultivation within the sect. Since she is not willing to go, we will go on her behalf. Xuan Du smiled as he took out an invitation.

Oh? That means that the Supreme Ascendant will not go?

Humph! It does not matter whether she goes or not. We will head to the Thousand Islands Sea after we find Zang Yulian. The Revival Convention is at hand. Even Sect Master Heavenly Access is very cautious about it. This shows that this Revival Convention will not be simple, Xuan Du said seriously.

Yes! Everyone waited patiently.

Far away:

The Mosquito Daoist and the Flame Monarch continued fighting.

Within Borderless Heavenly Capital, Chen Tianshan stopped everyone from making a move. Anything they did would be futile, as the Flame Monarch was too powerful.

However, Dongfang Bubai, Ximen Chuixue, Dugu Qiubai, and Zhang Sanfeng frowned slightly.

Unfortunately, we are restricted by the ritual array. Our cultivations remain within the Middle Heavenly Palace Realm. If we had real bodies, we would be able to break into the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, Zhang Sanfeng sighed, feeling helpless.

Imperial Emperor Gu will have a way, Dongfang Bubai said.

Everyone nodded and waited.

Boom!

Five figures rushed over from the horizon. Gu Hais group had finally returned.

Your Reverence, right in front! The Flame Monarch is fighting the Mosquito Daoist? Shangguan Hens face sank.

How excellent of the Flame Monarch! His flames surround the entire Borderless Heavenly Capital, making it like a sun. Ao Shuns face sank.

Kong Xuan frowned slightly, showing a sullen expression, but he did not say a word.

Chang Ming, you leave first, Gu Hai said gravely.

Yes!

Chang Ming immediately turned into a beam of light, flying down.

Chang Mings following Gu Hai to the west this time was an exceptional situation. After all, the Blood Uniform Guard needed to remain in the shadows, hidden from the world.

After Chang Ming left, Gu Hai said, Come, lets enter the sea of fire and Borderless Heavenly Capital!

Yes!

Boom!

The four instantly turned into four beams of light shooting over, their pa.s.sage triggering sonic booms.

Its them! Ao Shengs expression turned cold as he looked into the distance.

Ao Sheng, didnt you say that Shangguan Hens cultivation got crippled? Prime Feng Yue looked coldly at Ao Sheng.

In the mountain forest, Xuan Du narrowed his eyes at Gu Hai.

Huh? The fighting Flame Monarch suddenly turned his head to look.

The Mosquito Daoists face brightened with joy. Gu Hai, why did you return only now? This has tired me to death!

In his joy, he immediately dismissed the countless mosquitoes, no longer willing to remain in the frontline.

When the mosquito sea disappeared, the surging fire immediately rushed at Borderless Heavenly Capital.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Gu Hai, Kong Xuan, Shangguan Hen, and Ao Shun landed on a plaza, sending a powerful shock wave out that formed a storm, pressing the surrounding fire back.
