“You have been following for quite a while already, right? Co on out!” Gu Hai called out.
“Huh?” Ao Shun’s expression changed.
Soone followed us? I am an Upper Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator, yet I actually failed to discover soone following us?
Who is it?
How did Hall Master discover it?
At the side, Yanxuan and Yehua stared skeptically at Gu Hai. How is there anyone here?
Gu Hai could not sense whether soone was there, neither did he have the ability. However, he could guess it.
The Mosquito Daoist!
How could Gu Hai not guess it, given his intellect and the various strange occurrences? It could only be the Mosquito Daoist relentlessly following him, causing him endless trouble.
Gu Hai had even ntioned him to Sima Changkong previously, so that Sima Changkong would not accidentally expose himself to the Azure Emperor.
The Mosquito Daoist must have a reason for following all the while. Is he seeking out Chang Ming? Gu Hai did not want the Mosquito Daoist following him anymore.
The Mosquito Daoist had lured over expert after expert. While Gu Hai managed to turn the danger to his advantage a few tis, he could not do so every ti. What if he failed the next ti? Hence, it was best to deal with this now.
Was the Mosquito Daoist around?
The Mosquito Daoist was in a distant forest.
The Mosquito Daoist recently discovered that it was a fake Gu Hai who had severely injured Mister Dongfang, so he started feeling restless again. However, Gu Hai later finished off the Azure Emperor.
Even if the Azure Emperor was not as strong as , he would not be too far off. Yet, Gu Hai managed to kill him? Furthermore, Gu Hai did so in front of Jiang Lianshan?
The Mosquito Daoist imdiately shrank back, feeling depressed.
The Mosquito Daoist possessed extraordinary patience. If there are no opportunities this ti, there is still the next ti. I’ll just remain hidden by your side and bide my ti. I’ll wait. There will be a ti when I can kill you in one strike.
However, what did Gu Hai say? He knows that I’m here?
How does he know? I have never exposed myself.
The Mosquito Daoist felt conflicted and worried. What should I do? What should I do? Gu Hai is very incredible. If he discovered and attacked with his full power, wouldn’t I be…?
“Should I invite you out?” Gu Hai said coldly.
Gu Hai could guess the Mosquito Daoist’s thoughts. Therefore, he put on a strong front, looking coldly at the surroundings as though sowhat impatient.
Ao Shun kept scanning the side but found nothing.
The Mosquito Daoist felt tortured inside. What should I do?
Seeing Gu Hai’s cold gaze, the Mosquito Daoist showed a faint, bitter smile. I have no other choice. I’ll co out.
Rustle…!
Just as the Mosquito Daoist was about to co out, the grass in a forest near him suddenly shook. Then, what seed like a strong gust fled into the distance.
“What? There is soone else?” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed.
Soone else is following Gu Hai? Could it be that Gu Hai did not discover ? That scared this Daoist lord!
However, who is it? To think that this Daoist lord also failed to discover him!
When that gust rushed out, Gu Hai’s face sank. Is it the Mosquito Daoist? However, that gust of wind seems to be running away.
Before Gu Hai could speak, Ao Shun glared and rushed over. “Halt!”
Boom!
Gu Hai’s face sank when Ao Shun rushed out. “Ao Shun, be careful!”
If it is the Mosquito Daoist, Ao Shun won’t be a match for him.
However, Ao Shun kicked in the next mont.
This novel is available on Hosted Novel.
Boom!
Ao Shun kicked back that fleeing expert, sending him crashing through many trees and a mountain, then rolling on the ground, toppling countless trees.
“Huh?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
Ao Shun sent the Mosquito Daoist flying with one kick? That’s impossible. Although Ao Shun is in the Upper Heavenly Palace Realm, he is not that powerful. Is it soone else?
Gu Hai looked at the collapsed trees in the distance. The Mosquito Daoist also looked over but did not see anyone. That person seed transparent.
Whoosh!
Ao Shun managed to find that person. He instantly approached and slamd his palm down.
“Spare ! Spare ! Don’t! Don’t! Argh!” A startled cry ca from the forest.
Boom!
Blargh!
A loud report rang out, followed by a spurt of a mouthful of blood. Then, a large body appeared before everyone.
“A chaleon?” Gu Hai felt slightly startled.
A large chaleon spirit lay on the ground, vomiting blood as it gazed at Ao Shun in horror.
“A chaleon? Humph! No wonder I did not discover you. If not for following the draconic aura, I would not have found you. Who are you, and why are you following us?” Ao Shun demanded coldly.
[TL Note: The literal translation for chaleon is color-changing dragon. It is considered a relative of the dragon, probably because it is a reptile.]
Ao Shun approached and stepped on it.
The chaleon spirit imdiately transford into a bloodied man and begged for rcy. “Spare ! Crown Prince Ao Shun, spare !”
Ao Shun extended his hand and sealed the chaleon’s cultivation. Then, he brought the chaleon aboard Gu Hai’s flying ship.
“That nearly scared this Daoist lord to death! Ptooey! A chaleon spirit? You nearly caused this Daoist lord to expose myself! When I have ti later, this Daoist lord will go to your lair and kill all the chaleons!” The Mosquito Daoist released his bated breath in the forest.
Bang! The chaleon spirit fell on the deck and rolled three tis before coming to a halt.
Gu Hai approached step by step.
“Your Majesty, it is just a Lower Heavenly Palace Realm chaleon spirit. A chaleon spirit’s skills at camouflage are second to none among the animal spirits. How did Your Majesty discover him?” Ao Shun looked at Gu Hai with so awe.
Gu Hai felt perplexed. How would I know there was a chaleon spirit? I was calling for the Mosquito Daoist.
“Who are you? Why are you following ?” Gu Hai questioned coldly.
“I-I was just passing by! I really was just passing by. Senior, spare ! Spare !” The chaleon incessantly pleaded for rcy.
“You are not willing to say? Hah! Ao Shun, we are eating chaleon today,” Gu Hai said.
The chaleon’s expression changed. “Don’t-don’t-don’t! Senior, I really did not know—”
However, Ao Shun stepped forward and reached out to tear the chaleon apart.
The chaleon imdiately said with a bitter smile, “I was wrong! Mister Gu, spare ! Mister Gu, spare ! I’ll speak! I’ll speak!”
“Oh? Now, you recognize ?” Gu Hai said indifferently.
“Yes, yes! This insignificant animal spirit was foolish to try to pull one over Mister Gu. I don’t dare anymore! I don’t dare!” the chaleon spirit said with a lowered head.
“Speak,” Gu Hai said indifferently.
“Yes! Elder Xuan En sent to follow Mister Gu!” the chaleon spirit said bitterly.
“Oh? Xuan En? The Myriad Age Daoist Sect’s Xuan En? I spared him once before, yet he sent you to follow ? Why?” Gu Hai asked while glaring.
“I…no. Uh! I…” The chaleon stumbled over his words.
Gu Hai did not say anything, only staring at the chaleon spirit.
Perhaps the pressure from Gu Hai was too great. The chaleon spirit finally said bitterly, “Elder Xuan En is leading a team to pursue Zang Yulian. However, Zang Yulian was very crafty, and we lost her. Elder Xuan En saw you when we arrived in Divine Farr City and felt that Zang Yulian would seek you out. He believed that if we followed you, we would find Zang Yulian, so…”
Gu Hai frowned. “Zang Yulian? Who is that?”
The chaleon spirit gaped. However, he did not dare to hide anything. “Zang Yulian is the previous Supre Ascendant Dao’s Grand Mohist. She is the Grand Mohist you t during the Ten Thousand Sages Convention’s calligraphy Dao competition.”
“Oh? Zang Yulian? He is pursuing her? Why?” Gu Hai asked.
“I…” The chaleon spirit looked pained.
“Speak!” Gu Hai glared.
“Zang Yulian passed her position to Lin Waner. Elder Xuan Du wants to track down Zang Yulian to get her to change the heir. That’s why Elder Xuan En is leading a team to…” The chaleon spirit explained everything he knew.
Gu Hai narrowed his eyes slightly. “So much has actually happened in the Myriad Age Daoist Sect?”
“Yes,” the chaleon spirit said with a lowered head.
“Xuan En? Hah! How bold of him! I let him off once. To think that he is still so reckless?!” Gu Hai glared.
“Mister Gu, this has nothing to do with . I am just a guardian animal spirit of the Myriad Age Daoist Sect. I was just following orders!” the chaleon spirit said in fear.
“Don’t worry. I won’t kill you. Just bring to et Xuan En later,” Gu Hai said.
“Huh? Ah?!” The chaleon spirit’s expression changed.
“Hall Master, why later?” Ao Shun asked, appearing puzzled.
“Because the person I am waiting for has not appeared yet.” Gu Hai shook his head.
“What?” Ao Shun said blankly.
Gu Hai looked around. “Alright. The chaleon spirit is just a short detour. It’s ti for you to co out!”
The surrounding forests remained silent.
After the earlier experience, the Mosquito Daoist was no longer in a rush. What if Gu Hai is just trying to trick , and he does not know for sure that I am here? Maybe the chaleon earlier was just unlucky? What if…what if there are others?
“Hall Master, there should not be anyone else,” Ao Shun said in confusion.
Having the chaleon spirit appear was already surprising. How can there be others? We have been low-key on our journey. How can there be more?
Indeed, the surroundings remained silent. No one answered.
“Mosquito Daoist, stop hiding. Co out! Aren’t you tired from following us from Borderless Heavenly Capital to here?” Gu Hai called out again.
The Mosquito Daoist?
Ao Shun’s expression changed as he imdiately raised his guard.
The expressions of the chaleon spirit, Yehua, and Yanxuan changed. Is that true? The Mosquito Daoist is following us?
In the mountain forest, the Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed as well.
Earlier, he had been feeling lucky. Now, Gu Hai had called him out by na. There’s no other possibility. He really did discover .
Gu Hai did not say anything more as he looked down coldly.
“Why am I so unlucky?” The Mosquito Daoist finally gritted his teeth and flew out after struggling with himself for a long ti.
Boom!
When the Mosquito Daoist flew out, millions of mosquitoes accompanied him, buzzing loudly.
“Gu Hai, you discovered long ago?” the Mosquito Daoist shouted ferociously as he stood in the sky.
“There really is soone?” Yehua goggled.
“The Mosquito Daoist?” Ao Shun imdiately appeared like he faced a formidable enemy.
The chaleon was stupefied, disbelief written across his face.
“Could it be that Mister Gu was calling for the Mosquito Daoist earlier and not ?” The chaleon spirit looked at Gu Hai, hoping to get an answer from Gu Hai. He felt like he was on the verge of ntal collapse.
Gu Hai glanced at the chaleon. “I was looking for the Mosquito Daoist, but you ca out on your own. No one forced you.”
The chaleon goggled. He felt so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.
Upon seeing the Mosquito Daoist, the chaleon spirit felt murderous. You should have just co out earlier! You made expose myself out of fright. I’m innocent! I’m really innocent. Why am I so unlucky?
