Chapter 1638: Gu Zuns Resentment (1/2)

Long Zhantian’s expression turned cold when Gu Zun brought up the past. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes that was more than enough to make G.o.dkings tremble.

“Hmph!” He snorted and said coldly: “Our Soaring Immortal Sect is not afraid of anyone! If it wasn’t for Immortal Emperor Qian Li leading the vanguard with the Black Dragon King in the rear, we wouldn’t have backed down like that. One day, we’ll show him who is the real master of the nine worlds!”

“That’s why we take his life when he is at his weakest.” Gu Zun said: “There are no more emperors backing him up right now so it is an amazing opportunity. If we wait till he grooms another emperor, then he’ll rise again and your sect will have no chance to kill him.”

Zhantian stared intensely at Gu Zun with a stern expression and uttered coldly: “Gu Zun, Soaring Immortal shall take action but you mustn’t forget, you have a part in this battle as well. If we help you obtain revenge, what can you offer in the war effort?”

“Brother Zhantian, are you forgetting who I am? You might not like to hear this but you will be requiring my a.s.sistance eventually! Your Immortal Physique might be strong but I’m certainly more powerful than you!” Gu Zun flatly stated with a smile despite Zhantian’s unfriendly question.

Zhantian simply scowled and didn’t refute the claim. Both he and his sect wouldn’t cooperate with the weak. If Gu Zun wasn’t strong enough, they wouldn’t have formed an alliance with Heaven Suppression.

“Regardless of how strong you are, you must show some sincerity in this collaboration.” Zhantian said.

Gu Zun replied with a smile: “No need to worry about this. I am someone who can keep my words. If it is an alliance, all problem will be ours together. As long as you lead that person out, I shall be the s.h.i.+ning beacon and be the first to try and capture him!”

“Looks like you have complete confidence!” Zhantian slowly spoke. There was a subtle hint of mockery or requiring further explanation.

Gu Zun still maintained his friendly demeanor: “I know what you are trying to say. Yes, I was captured back then and thrown into the eye of the sea but there’s no shame in that. Brother Zhantian, to be frank, if I, an eonic genius, wasn’t able to do it, you definitely couldn’t have done anything back then either. Trust me though, my killer move isn’t something you can imagine.”

“Hmph!” Zhantian was very unhappy with Gu Zun’s comment.

“Rest a.s.sured, just lead him out and you will be able to see my hidden card. Don’t forget, we’re on the same boat now and are stronger because of it. We must work together!” Gu Zun stated.

Zhantia ruminated his options before speaking: “Gu Zun, I trust you but there is one condition. When we capture him, dead or alive, we will take him back to Soaring Immortal!”

Gu Zun slowly said: “I know that you want to pry precious information and artifacts out of him so you want him alive.”

“Have you not thought of it too?” Zhantian sneered confidently.

To which Gu Zun leisurely responded: “Brother Zhantian, those are some strong words. You don’t only want to have the same status as me, you even want to seize everything for yourself.”

“Gu Zun, your strength is undeniable.” Zhantian smiled proudly: “But don’t forget, I have a behemoth in Soaring Immortal behind me, I’m not alone. To borrow your words, our power isn’t something you can imagine.”

“I’m aware.” Gu Zun laughed heartily: “I heard that Immortal Emperor Ren Xian’s sons have escaped from the Immortal Confinement. Looks like your branch will be able to maintain hegemony for a long time.”

“It’s good that you’re aware.” Zhantian didn’t hide it at all: “The real imperial princes are back. You should understand the significance behind this.”

“I know.” Gu Zun said: “But lest you forget, a few old men from your sect are friends with that person. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy for your branch to make all the decisions. If they try to stop you, how are you going to be in control?”

“No need for you to concern about that. Our sect is unified, no one will try to stop me in this generation.” Zhantian spoke coldly: “You know that when our five branches are of the same heart, we shall be invincible. With that, are we strong enough to take all the spoils now?”

“Fine, if you are that confident, I have no more objection. I agree with that condition then. If we are successful, that body will be yours.” Gu Zun smiled.

“Good, it’s a deal then.” Zhantian looked at Gu Zun and said: “Let’s talk about how to lead him out then.”
