Chapter 1385: Gu Di Immortal Lord
In the endless expanse of the starry sky, a huge group of soldiers flew past.
They were only 400-strong, but they had the might of 100,000 immortal lords. Even the stars around them shook with their pa.s.sing.
This was the Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d Tribe, a formidable faction in the sky palaces.
The Gu Huo Immortal Lord had gone through all his emotions and was now empty, following the bounding Howling Celestial Dog with an emotionless face.
The Howling Celestial Dog yelped as it leaped forward with speed comparable to a 9-realm immortal lord.
Wherever they went, other immortal lords would naturally give them a wide berth, afraid to clash with them head-on.
At this time, the Howling Celestial Dog suddenly stopped, barking at the Gu Huo Immortal Lord.
The whole group stopped as well.
Everyone knew that the Howling Celestial Dog and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord were communicating, so they did not disturb them.
When they were done, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord frowned slightly and then beckoned to a girl behind him. She was kitted out in full battle armor and had a devilishly s.e.xy body. The skin showing outside was the color of wheat, and she looked like a feral yet s.e.xy cat, catching the attention of the other immortal lords.
"Gu Di, you go that way. Eight people are in that direction. The strongest among them is only a 7-realm immortal lord. Catch them and bring them back," the Gu Huo Immortal Lord ordered.
The Gu Di Immortal Lord nodded. "Yes, Young Master." She made ready to leave. Before she left, she asked, "Young Master, are these eight people accomplices?"
The Gu Huo Immortal Lord said: "No, but they are on good terms with the culprit. Capture them for emergency use."
"Understood! Gu Di will definitely carry out this mission!" The Gu Di Immortal Lord was very pleased that such an important mission had been entrusted to her. This meant that the young master favored her. After all, capturing the friends of the culprit would help in breaking him down.
After parting from the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, she was fired up, as though she had had a shot of chicken blood.[1] She sped off in the Ancient Ink Camp"s direction, while the Gu Huo Immortal Lord led the rest after Wu Yu.
From the side, an immortal lord asked, "Young Master, if I may presume to ask, how many culprits are there in this direction?"
"One person," the Gu Huo Immortal Lord said.
"One person can actually kill the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord? Someone that strong, we must have heard of them."
The others were thinking the same.
The Gu Huo Immortal Lord said, "Don"t underestimate the size of the sky palaces. The middle tier of the immortals are also very strong, even though they have no background."
"Understood!"
There was no further conversation as they focused on the hunt. They knew that this culprit was definitely dead, given how good the relations.h.i.+p between the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord and the Gu Huo Immortal Lord had been.
In these days, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord had become unusually reticent. Although he did not show it, he was furious inside. And the wrath of the Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d Tribe was nothing to sneeze at.
.......
After that day, Wu Yu did not see Nangong Wei again.
But each time he used the combination of the Spirit Chaser Art and Fleeting Immortal Dreams, he could feel that the Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord was a little fainter each time she came around. She could not reach her peak condition easily, and was more tired each time.
In order to distract her from her immortal spirit each time she came around, Wu Yu purposely made some welts on her body to draw her attention there instead. He led her to believe that she had been abused.
"Why have you become so violent recently?" The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord despaired.
It had happened so many times, and he did not even want her to wake up.
Wu Yu said, "Time is running out. If we don"t have a child soon, won"t I be dead once the Great Void Immortal Path ends? Who asked you to discover my ident.i.ty?"
The Dancing Flame Phoenix Lord could only feel regret. She did not know that Wu Yu"s goal was to save Nangong Wei, and that she might be let free at the end if he did not succeed. But now she felt that getting her pregnant was Wu Yu"s only hope at life.
Wu Yu did not wait for her reply, but sent her into slumber again. She was speechless at his behavior.
Another month pa.s.sed outside. Wu Yu was grinding towards a new cultivation level when his clones outside the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da were suddenly destroyed. This was a common enough situation. After all, people would occasionally come to search the star and would stumble across Wu Yu"s clone.
Wu Yu would often go out and change stars.
This time, Wu Yu also left speedily, but he immediately sensed the extreme danger!
Immediately, he responded a different way: by changing his appearance. In his haste, he changed to another 9-realm immortal lord he had devoured - the Chifeng Immortal Lord.
Because the opponent had not immediately attacked, Wu Yu did not flee immediately. He had to know who was after him this time.
When he saw clearly, his face changed. His clones had not realized that the entire star had already been locked down. And the lockdown was even more secure than the eternal phoenix tribe"s work previously. There were many layers of immortal designs, and they were airtight.
Looking up, he saw a dull, yellow sea covering the entire sky, and beyond it, fire. Evidently, this needed a great void immortal treasure to defend against, and there were not many on the Great Void Immortal Path who had great void immortal treasures.
Wu Yu"s clones had been in his image, but they knew that they were clones, and had no impression of what Wu Yu"s real body looked like. At this time, Wu Yu could probably fool them with the guise of the Chifeng Immortal Lord. But it was obvious that his real body could never appear before them.
Otherwise, they would compare it to the clone, and know that it was his true appearance.
Wu Yu saw about 400 immortal lords, all of them clearly from the Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d Tribe. Their ident.i.ty was obvious, and Wu Yu had already spotted the Gu Huo Immortal Lord, who was one of the strongest in the Endless River of Stars. It was said that he fought as well as an immortal king, which was indeed a scary prospect.
He had not even sensed a thing before his clones were killed. The pressure from his eyes now was also considerable.
Evidently, they were here on the case of the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord"s death!
But how could they find him?
Wu Yu immediately saw a black puppy beside the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. Its huge, black, puppy eyes fixed on him. And then a phrase came to mind: Howling Celestial Dog.
It had been in the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord"s memories, but Wu Yu had not paid attention, distracted by Nangong Wei. Only now did he learn about such a mystical creature! Besides, the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord did not know that the Gu Huo Immortal Lord had brought the Howling Celestial Dog with him!
From the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord"s memories, he held great respect for the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. Wu Yu searched these memories and got a good understanding of the Gu Huo Immortal Lord. The Primeval Mighty Miracle G.o.d had many children before, but none of them had risen to eternal immortal emperor. Till date, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord was his greatest hope, outs.h.i.+ning his elder siblings. He was one of the elites in the sky palaces.
"He actually brought the Howling Celestial Dog in with him! No wonder he has found me! The Howling Celestial Dog has a G.o.dly nose. It can even smell halfway across the Endless River of Stars! With this creature around, they will be able to know where I am, no matter where I go!"
Besides, they knew that Wu Yu was the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord"s killer.
If he had known that killing the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord would end up in this, he would have retreated back then. But there was no point crying over spilled milk now. He could only deal with it.
Of course, he did not regret it either. The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord had injured his Ancient Ink Camp brethren seriously, and wanted to steal their treasures.
"Young Master, that"s the Chifeng Immortal Lord, he"s an ordinary immortal lord. To think he could defeat the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord! He is truly more than meets the eye!"
Someone said to the Gu Huo Immortal Lord.
The Gu Huo Immortal Lord stared at Wu Yu. He had an odd feeling about the situation, but he said to Wu Yu, "Chifeng Immortal Lord, you"re bold to dare kill the Gu Qiang Immortal Lord. The evidence is clear, and you have nowhere to run. The Bo Tian Immortal King and the Gu Huo Immortal King of my tribe will not forgive you. I will not kill you. When the Great Void Immortal Path ends, I will take you before the two immortal kings to meet your death."
The Gu Qiang Immortal Lord was definitely backed by the two immortal kings. Being on good terms with the Gu Huo Immortal Lord showed that he was highly favored too.
"Come quietly. Don"t force me to take a hand. If you force my hand, there will be nothing but pain for you," the Gu Huo Immortal Lord said.
Wu Yu was naturally in a hurry to leave. As awesome as this trap was, it could not hold him. He feigned terror, the Somersault Cloud already fusing into his body. And then he prepared to flip his way into the void.
"Trying to run?!" The Gu Huo Immortal Lord immediately saw through him. Two beams of destructive light shot from his eyes, enveloping Wu Yu!
The light faded!
Wu Yu was gone!
"Young Master, he might have escaped! He actually got through our immortal design! How could he?"
They searched high and low but found no traces of Wu Yu. The Howling Celestial Dog was shaking its head.
The Gu Huo Immortal Lord said, "Stop searching. That person has some escape ability. He"s nowhere near."
Their faces were grim.
At this time, the Gu Huo Immortal Lord received an Immortal Message Talisman. He smiled slightly. "Gu Di has done well. No matter how far this Chifeng Immortal Lord runs, he cannot escape us now. And she is quite lucky as well. She snagged a fifth-grade Mark of an Immortal King.
All was well for the Gu Huo Immortal Lord.
