Chapter 1667: Nine Sea Kings (2/2)

Nevertheless, the nine were powerful and clever enough. After escaping, they severed their bloodline and turned into these monsters.

Alas, despite losing their bloodline, they were still strong so they caused quite a stir at the Mortal Emperor World. However, they didn’t come out for hegemony or anything, only to play around.

Li Qiye had promised the pheasant to look for them. That’s why he started chasing after them. However, the nine kings knew that Li Qiye wanted to capture them so they were very elusive and would run at the first sign of trouble.

Unfortunately, certain things couldn’t be avoided. Even though they have severed their bloodline, they were still creatures not allowed to come into being. They failed to erase the aura of their race.

Thus, during the generation of Immortal Emperor Yin Tian, the heavenly curse and suppression returned in the form of a lightning tribulation a.s.saulting them.

This was the reason why there would be a great storm each time they appeared in the Grand Sea. They didn’t want to cause trouble, it was due to the curse!

Li Qiye then personally took action and surrounded them with his legion. He didn’t only suppress them but also sealed them completely. His sealing technique allowed them to escape the curse from the high heaven.

Gu Zun was aware of this story but he didn’t know of the nine kings’ origin. That’s why he released them in the first place. He didn’t expect for them to owe the Dark Crow a great debt!

The people he thought were his allies turned out to be the ones keeping an eye on him the whole time. This turned his expression quite unsightly!

“Looks like I’m still no match for you in terms of scheming and experience.” Gu Zun took a deep breath and had to admit.

In fact, he was well aware of this beforehand but he still wanted to give it a shot. He couldn’t accept defeat without trying. Thinking that he was inferior to the Dark Crow was unacceptable.

For him, he would never give up until the Dark Crow shatters his confidence completely at the very last moment!

Li Qiye commented: “This is just because there are many things you don’t know. You’re talented enough, just need more time and experience. Alas, you have chosen the wrong path.”

One of the nine kings bellowed with a laughter: “Brat, you are very smart indeed, able to comprehend and break the seal. Unfortunately, it’s your unlucky day. Now, we’re just waiting for His Excellency to give the command, to throw you into the eye of the sea or to kill you.”

Gu Zun took one step back after hearing this. He was very mighty as well but he had some qualm against fighting characters of the nine kings level. If the nine were to fight together, it would be even more devastating. This was the reason why he wanted to team up with them against the Dark Crow.

He regained his composure and smiled: “I’m sure His Excellency isn’t in a rush to kill me right now.”

Li Qiye stared at him in response: “Gu Zun, you are still so confident, not panicking in this situation. That’s indeed impressive, I am full of regrets, lamenting the waste of your talents.”

“Who I am today is due to your guidance and training. If I can’t do this much, how can I replace you in the future?” He smiled.

Li Qiye replied: “Gu Zun, want to know something? Even if I spare you in this generation, someone else will kill you if you don’t change your way.”

“I know who you are referring to, Your Excellency.” Gu Zun calmly responded: “When brother-in-law sealed me back then, he warned me that if I don’t repent, he will personally kill me. I don’t question his ability, only his determination. Even if he comes back to life, he still won’t be able to do it! That’s his weakness.”

“Nothing is absolute in this world. If the Black Dragon King said he wants to kill you, I’m sure he will do it.” Li Qiye chuckled.

“I’m waiting but I haven’t seen him yet. He was able to live for three generations, will there be a fourth? If he can come out again to kill me, then I will have nothing to say. Dying to him isn’t shameful at all since even Immortal Emperor Ta Kong was killed by him, let alone me.” Gu Zun leisurely retorted.

“Run. Like you have said, I’m in no hurry. I want to see the rest of your ace cards. Do not disappoint me again with little schemes like this one.” Li Qiye looked at him and said.
