Chapter 1603: Gu Zuns Past (1/2)

Matriarch Yu exhaled quietly after hearing this. She also wanted to help her brother so that he could have a different life.

Alas, she was powerless in this matter because Zhengfeng was even stronger than her and more knowledgeable regarding cultivation. If he didn’t wish to leave the dao himself, there was nothing she could do. The only good thing about the matter was that he would lead a very long life.

He has trained the dao to a cursed level, hated by both G.o.ds and devils. It was very difficult for him to die so in a certain sense, he has exceeded the limit of a cultivator.

Li Qiye said: “It’s up to him alone now but there is still hope for a changing opportunity. He alone knows what it is though.”

After a while, she changed the topic and asked: “Are you returning to take back Heaven Suppression?”

Li Qiye shook his head: “I’ve never thought about retaking it for my own. Heaven Suppression is separate from me but I do not want to see Gu Zun in charge, that’s all. Other than him, I don’t really care if anyone else were to take over.”

“Gu Zun… He won’t give up. It’s been three generations already.” Her eyes became serious.

“This is why he is exceptional.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but laugh: “To be perfectly candid, sometimes I do admire the brat a bit. He knows exactly who I am and know just how futile it is but he still won’t give up, still h.e.l.lbent on taking the treasures from me, s.n.a.t.c.hing food from the jaw of a tiger! Such greed will not subside even after I took his creation and imprisoned him in the eye of the sea. Such dao heart is definitely persistent but so misguided. Otherwise, his future would have been boundless as an incredible emperor.”

Matriarch Yu nodded her head in agreement. There was no need to doubt Gu Zun’s talents but his mistakes have cost him his future.

“He knows you won’t kill him, that’s why he has no qualm right now without repenting. If it wasn’t for the Black Dragon King, he would already be ashes.” She was aware of the past.

“The king beseeched for his sake but it doesn’t mean that I won’t kill him now.” Li Qiye chuckled: “My tolerance and patience have a limit. Gu Zun chose not to appreciate it so if I catch him again, there won’t be mercy even if the Black Dragon King comes back to life and plead!”

She quietly agreed again. Outsiders didn’t know about Gu Zun’s imprisonment in the eye of the sea but as the first general of the legion and one of the executors of the sentence, she was privy to the information.

“He won’t give up so easily.” She speculated from her own understanding of Gu Zun’s characters.

“Yes.” Li Qiye smirked: “At this moment, his disciple, Ye Jiuzhou, is in charge of Heaven Suppression. Though he isn’t showing his face, he’s controlling everything in the background. Jiuzhou is only a p.a.w.n.”

“Great as Gu Zun might be, just give the commands, our men shall capture Gu Zun so that you can sentence him.” The matriarch offered.

Though the legion was only in name right now, the old generals from Immortal Emperor Qian Li and Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generations were still alive.

“No.” Li Qiye shook his head: “This started because of me so I shall end it. If he won’t repent, I’ll personally kill him in order to give the king a fair answer.”

She became sentimental and commented: “An eonic genius… A single thought ruined his life. With your guidance and the Black Dragon King’s protection, he could have been one of the greatest emperors of the ages. Alas, he has fallen to this level.”

It was no wonder that she would have such feelings. Gu Zun had incomparable advantages compared to everyone else back then. It would have been difficult for him to not become an emperor due to his talents and having a supreme overlord like the Black Dragon King as his backer.

Greed destroyed his boundless potential. His fortunes were also taken away from him during his imprisonment. Death would have been his fate if it wasn’t for the king.

If it wasn’t for his ill-considered thoughts, It wouldn’t have been Immortal Emperor Yin Tian’s generation after Immortal Emperor Qian Li. Gu Zun would have been the one. In the end, such unparalleled talents were wasted.
