Book 2: Chapter 46: Flood Dragon
First Song Sect:
When the sun appeared in the morning, countless First Song Sect disciples discovered Gu Hai’s ritual array.
“Quick! Look! What’s happening with the spirit stone mine?”
“What a lot of fog! Is that a large ritual array?”
“Did something happen? Junior Brother, are you there?”
Ten-odd First Song Sect disciples immediately rushed to the ritual array to check out the situation.
However, when they approached, they suddenly discovered a group of sneering men standing outside the ritual array.
“Who are you?”
The evil men pounced without any warning.
“Oh no!”
The group of First Song Sect disciples immediately transformed. Snakes covered their heads, and their strength soared.
“Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though they grew several times stronger, they still were no match for the evil men. The evil men dominated them.
“Argh!”
After an evil man chopped off the arm of a First Song Sect disciple, that First Song Sect disciple let out a blood-curdling scream.
“What?” The First Song Sect disciples in the distance goggled.
“Kill!” Scar shouted.
Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing! Shing!
The evil men chopped down the ten-odd First Song Sect disciples who had rushed to the ritual array.
“Enemy attack!” a First Song Sect disciple suddenly roared.
“Hurry! Inform Martial Uncle!”
“Hurry! Inform Master!”
“Hurry! Inform an elder!”
Many anxious cries rang out as many First Song Sect disciples ran out of the entrance.
More First Song Sect disciples appeared outside the First Song Sect with their weapons drawn and coldly eyed the ritual array in the distance.
“The spirit stone mine was snatched away? How is Senior Brother doing now?”
“Indeed! My junior brother is in there too!”
“Who exactly are they?”
The First Song Sect disciples who rushed out felt very anxious.
Gu Hai stood at the summit of a mountain in the ritual array, looking outside coldly.
“Toss them out!” Gu Hai ordered in a chilly voice.
“Yes!” Chen Tianshan and Shangguan Hen answered.
When Gu Hai waved his hand, the evil men immediately tossed out the eight hundred spirit-assimilated cultivators they killed the previous night.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The many corpses flew out of the ritual array like scattered blossoms.
When the eight hundred corpses appeared, the expressions of the First Song Sect disciples who had rushed over changed. Just as they were about to charge in, they suddenly realized whose corpses these were.
“It’s Junior Brother?”
“Senior Brother! It’s Senior Brother!”
“Master!”
“Ah! They killed everyone in the spirit mine!”
“These demons!”
The First Song Sect disciples let out startled cries at the shocking sight. Eight hundred First Song Sect disciples all wiped out? Who was in the ritual array?
More First Song Sect disciples learned of the situation and came rushing out. They all showed ferocious expressions as they stared furiously at the ritual array. However, they hesitated and did not charge rashly into the ritual array.
Finally, a First Song Sect disciple shouted, “Who are you?”
Whoosh!
Suddenly, some of the fog around the ritual array scattered, revealing a mountain summit. That was where Gu Hai stood with Shangguan Hen, Scar, and Chen Tianshan. All of them looked at the First Song Sect disciples in the distance coldly.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed, “Gu Hai? He is Gu Hai?!”
“Didn’t he go missing?”
“The Heavenly Saber Death Match?”
“Is this the Twenty-Eight Line-Pair World Ritual Array?”
The group initially wanted to charge at the evil men. However, they abruptly stopped and gazed at Gu Hai in horror. After all, the miserable destruction of the Great Feng Mafia Family remained fresh in their minds.
“Gu Hai! How bold of you! To think that you dare to kill my First Song Sect’s disciples? The sect master will not let you off!” a First Song Disciple immediately roared while glaring.
Standing on the mountain summit, Gu Hai looked at that person. “Are you talking about the First Song Sect Master, Song Pingsheng? There’s no need to wait for him. He already died under my ritual array in the Clear River Sect!”
“What?”
“That’s impossible!”
The expressions of the surrounding First Song Sect disciples changed.
“First Song Sect? You are incredibly bold. It’s one thing to cause trouble in this place, making enemies with the Clear River Sect. To think that you dare to target my Elite Hall? Where’s my Elite Hall’s hall master? Hand her over! Otherwise, I will wash the First Song Sect in blood today. You all can forget about escaping!” Gu Hai shouted with a scowl.
“You killed the sect master?! That’s impossible! The sect master is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. How could you be a match for him?!” that person yelled in shock.
“Is a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator incredible? The people that I want to kill cannot escape. If not for the hall master, do you think you can survive until now? I could have destroyed your First Song Sect last night!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“Don’t listen to him! The sect master cannot possibly be dead!” someone shouted.
“However, he did deal with Nascent Soul Realm cultivators before!” someone cried out anxiously.
“Barge in and destroy his ritual array!”
“You go, then. The Heavenly Saber Death Match killed twenty thousand cultivators. We may be five times stronger now, but…”
More First Song Sect disciples gathered outside Gu Hai’s ritual array. However, they did not dare to barge in; they all felt incredibly anxious.
“Quickly! Inform the primogenitor! Inform the primogenitor!” someone urged anxiously.
——
Outside the First Song Sect:
The anxious voices of the First Song Sect disciples and the pleading cries of the captured ordinary citizens resulted in pandemonium.
Mixed among the “ordinary citizens,” Gao Xianzhi shot a look at the evil men pretending to be First Song Sect disciples at the very front.
“Senior Brother, hurry up. Let me send in this bunch of food. Gu Hai is here; I need to inform my master. Hurry up!” that evil man urged anxiously.
The First Song Sect guard also appeared frustrated and anxious.
The other side was Gu Hai. Gu Hai was here? Right now, many First Song Sect disciples went in and out; there was no way to check all of them. The voices of countless ordinary citizens all around weeping also frustrated him.
“Go in! Hurry up!” that guard said irritatedly.
“Move! Go in!”
Crack!
An evil man cracked the whip, herding Gao Xianzhi and the other “ordinary citizens” into the Gold Armor Water Crystal Ritual Array.
——
First Song Palace’s entrance, First Song Sect:
“Primogenitor, things are not good! Gu Hai attacked us!” a spirit-assimilated cultivator shouted anxiously at the closed palace doors.
“Gu Hai?” A doubtful voice came from the palace.
“Yes! He is Elite Hall’s Water Division Master. It is rumored that he already killed the sect master and is here to save the Elite Hall Master!” the spirit-assimilated cultivator said respectfully.
Creak!
The doors of the palace suddenly opened.
A black-robed man with a scar at his left eye looked at the spirit-assimilated cultivator coldly. “You mentioned Elite Hall’s Water Division? What is his cultivation?”
“He…he seems to be in the Innate Realm,” that spirit-assimilated cultivator replied softly.
Slap!
The black-robed man slapped the spirit-assimilated cultivator. “You believe that? Why have you not captured him yet? Do you think he can kill Song Pingsheng?”
That spirit-assimilated cultivator held his face as he explained bitterly to the black-robed man.
“Oh?” The black-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly.
“Primogenitor, this insignificant one does not dare to lie. It is true. About one year ago, he was still an Acquired Realm cultivator. However, he can use ritual arrays now and fight Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, so…so…” that spirit-assimilated cultivator said, feeling wronged.
With slightly narrowed eyes, the black-robed man said, “Lead the way!”
“Yes!”
——
Outside the First Song Sect:
After the black-robed man came out, more First Song Sect disciples rushed out as well. In the blink of an eye, several thousand crowded outside the First Song Sect. All of them held their weapons as they escorted the black-robed man in the center.
A spirit-assimilated cultivator at the side spilled everything he knew about Gu Hai to the black-robed man.
The black-robed man narrowed his eyes slightly, looking coldly at Gu Hai, who was on a distant summit.
“What a strong animal spirit’s aura! Milord, that black-robed man is the snake spirit. Be careful!” Shangguan Hen said in shock, narrowing his eyes.
Gu Hai coldly scrutinized that black-robed man. As he took in the scar above the black-robed man’s left eye, he slightly raised his eyebrows as if in familiarity.
“Brat, you killed Song Pingsheng?” the black-robed man said coldly.
As the black-robed man spoke, he floated up slowly, black energy revolving around him as he looked at the foggy ritual array in front.
“I recall now. It is you!” Gu Hai suddenly raised his eyebrows in shock.
As Gu Hai looked at the black-robed man, his expression turned grave.
“Oh? You know me?” The black-robed man looked at Gu Hai in surprise, with ice in his eyes.
“I do not know you, but I recognize the scar on your left eye. Previously, I did not think of it, believing you were a snake spirit. Unexpectedly, it is you!” Gu Hai said, growing graver.
“Milord, he is not a snake spirit?” Chen Tianshan said in shock.
The black-robed man looked at Gu Hai coldly and said, “You cannot possibly know me. Brat, are you seeking death?!”
“You are the one seeking death!” Gu Hai glared.
“Huh?” the black-robed man countered coldly.
“You don’t remember me? Of course, you can’t possibly remember me. However, I have never forgotten your scar. You are that flood dragon sea beast!” Gu Hai said coldly.
“The flood dragon?” Chen Tianshan exclaimed while goggling.
On their return from the Innate Puzzle World, they had run into a calamity at sea. Back then, it had been caused by a flood dragon and a baxia. This was that flood dragon?
Chen Tianshan looked at the scar above the black-robed man’s left eye. The shape of the scar looked similar to the flood dragon’s. He really was the flood dragon?
“A flood dragon?” Shangguan Hen’s face sank in worry.
If the black-robed man was just a snake spirit, Gu Hai’s ritual array might be enough to deal with him. However, if they faced a flood dragon, would the ritual array be sufficient? Suddenly, Shangguan Hen felt that the danger before them exceeded his expectations.
Countless spirit-assimilated cultivators in the surroundings looked at the black-robed man in shock as well. “Primogenitor is a flood dragon?”
“You must be a snake that evolved into a flood dragon. You came to my Nine-Five Island to evolve further into a dragon, right?” Gu Hai said coldly.
[TL Note: Flood dragons are considered false dragons, not true dragons. In some cases, they are seen as mixed-blooded dragons, and in others, they are transitory states in becoming a dragon.]
“You are really full of nonsense!” The black-robed man snorted coldly as he waved his hand.
Boom!
Suddenly, red poisonous fog poured out of his sleeves and rushed towards Gu Hai.
Whoosh!
Gu Hai waved his hand, and the surrounding ritual array started operating. A surging white fog instantly enveloped him.
Bang!
The poisonous red fog instantly reached the white fog, as if it wanted to dye the entire ritual array red.
——
Inside the First Song Sect:
Gao Xianzhi entered the ritual array with the “ordinary citizens.”
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The “ordinary citizens” knocked out the First Song Sect disciples in an isolated valley.
“Legate, we have dealt with all of them!” an evil man said.
Gao Xianzhi said seriously, “Milord is currently attracting the attention of most of the spirit-assimilated cultivators and that powerful animal spirit. However, we cannot waste too much time. We only have two hours, so we have to find the hall master quickly!”
“Where should we look?”
“Search the core of the First Song Sect. Check the sect master’s palace and the First Song Palace. Form groups of one hundred and be fast. Search everywhere!” Gao Xianzhi ordered.
“Yes!”
