Everlasting Immortal Firmament

Book 07 Chapter 042: Father and Son Secretly Plotting against Each Other

Borderless Heavenly Capital:

Gu Hai and the others traveled through the night, rushing back.

“Your Reverence, Crown Prince Gu Qin also had his souls swapped?” Kong Xuan said in shock.

“That’s right. However, we already swapped them back. Furthermore, we also captured Teacher Yinyue.” Gu Hai smiled.

“Oh?” Kong Xuan showed a trace of amazement.

He could not help his shock. Although Teacher Yinyue’s reincarnation did not have an impressive cultivation, his ability to exchange souls alarmed everyone.

How terrifying would it be if a person suddenly found that they were no longer themself?

Everyone returned to the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Ao Shun and the Mosquito Daoist also rushed back.

Mo Yike, Gao Xianzhi, Chen Tianshan, and Meng Tai knew the emperor was taking risks outside, so they waited at the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza.

Upon seeing Gu Hai’s group return, everyone inwardly released their bated breath.

“Respectfully welcoming back Your Reverence!” everyone greeted happily.

Ao Shun stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Gu Hai. “Many thanks for Your Reverence’s rescue!”

“Prime Ao Shun, there’s no need for this. Since you have joined the Han Imperial Dynasty, we are responsible for ensuring your safety.” Gu Hai helped Ao Shun up.

“Yes!” Ao Shun nodded, feeling touched. 33926

“Mosquito Daoist, you got injured?” Gu Hai looked at the Mosquito Daoist.

The Mosquito Daoist smiled bitterly. “That Long Shenwu became truly powerful after he transformed into a zombie body. His strength probably rivals Sect Master Heavenly Access’s now.”

“Oh?” Gu Hai narrowed his eyes.

Gu Hai was familiar with Sect Master Heavenly Access’s strength. If not for the Han Nation’s power, he would have been helpless against Sect Master Heavenly Access. To think Long Shenwu’s zombie transformation was so strong? What would happen if Long Shenwu used the power of the Wu Nation?

“Your Reverence, have you rescued Crown Prince Gu Qin?” Mo Yike asked worriedly.

“Huh?” Everyone looked at Mo Yike in confusion.

What does Mo Yike mean? Isn’t the crown prince fine?

“Mister Mo, I truly cannot hide it from you.” Gu Hai smiled.

Then, Gu Hai waved.

Gu Qin appeared on the Soaring Palace Hall’s plaza, holding Long Sanqian captive.

“This crown prince is…?” Mo Yike said with a frown.

“It’s Gu Qin.” Gu Hai nodded.

Mo Yike heaved a sigh of relief, relaxing. Then he coldly eyed Long Sanqian.

“Lord Mo, how did you know?” Kong Xuan asked in shock.

Kong Xuan only learned about what had happened on the way back. How did Mo Yike find out?

“This humble one only guessed a second person had their souls exchanged. That was close. Fortunately, His Reverence noticed early and prevented chaos from happening,” Mo Yike sighed.

“Oh?” Gao Xianzhi’s expression changed, appearing shocked.

A quick look at .com will leave you more fulfilled.

“Lord Mo is wise. This humble one is ashamed of my inferiority,” Chen Tianshan marveled.

Shangguan Hen looked at Mo Yike in shock and surprise. His Reverence figured out the problem with the crown prince. To think Mo Yike figured it out too. No wonder His Reverence values Mo Yike so highly.

“This is Long Sanqian?” Meng Tai looked at Long Sanqian, who had been tossed to the floor.

“He is Teacher Yinyue’s reincarnation. We had not expected that.” Gu Hai coldly eyed Long Sanqian.

“Using the music Dao to exchange souls is extremely dangerous. This official heard that even one’s fate is exchanged when exchanging souls. That is to say, if he exchanged souls with Your Reverence, he would replace Your Reverence. Even the blessings would recognize him as their master,” Mo Yike said seriously.

Everyone looked at Long Sanqian with a chill in their heart.

They initially thought the Wu Imperial Dynasty had sent a spy only to defeat the Han Imperial Dynasty. Now, it looked like the Wu Imperial Dynasty had grand ambitions. To think they even planned to replace the emperor directly?

“Where’s Yun Mo?” Long Sanqian said coldly.

Gu Hai waved, and Yun Mo immediately appeared.

Yun Mo appeared and looked at his surroundings in confusion.

“Yun Mo? Hah! You unfilial descendant! To think you dare betray me?!” Long Sanqian glared at Yun Mo ferociously.

“Imperial Emperor Gu, you have already exchanged their souls?” Yun Mo said in shock.

Gu Hai nodded.

Yun Mo frowned at Long Sanqian’s reprimand, but he did not show any fear or refute anything.

Long Sanqian wanted to harm him. Yun Mo was just protecting himself. Furthermore, he wanted to save Silver Moon City’s citizens.

“Long Sanqian!” Gu Hai called out.

Long Sanqian stared at Gu Hai.

“Your ability is too dangerous. However, we will give you a chance. Are you willing to join the Han Imperial Dynasty?” Gu Hai asked.

“Your Reverence, it’s too dangerous!” Mo Yike said worriedly.

“Indeed. Your Reverence, this person can exchange souls into another body. It is incredibly dangerous; we should just execute him!” Shangguan Hen said anxiously.

Everyone worried about Long Sanqian’s ability. However, Gu Hai appreciated it.𝘧𝗿𝚎e𝓌𝗲𝒃𝑛𝒐ѵ𝗲𝒍. c𝐨𝗺

Exchange souls? This ability was a double-edged sword. Although it could harm him, it would be a powerful weapon against his enemies.

Gu Hai stared at Long Sanqian.

However, Long Sanqian looked at Gu Hai in shock. “Hah! Hahahaha! You want to recruit me?! Hahaha! You want to recruit me?! How laughable! How laughable!”

“You are already my prisoner. What can you use to resist?” Gu Hai asked coldly.

“You dare to use me?”

“If you are willing, we dare to use you,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“How laughable. Do you think I cannot resist?” Long Sanqian said coldly.

“What else can you do?” Gu Hai countered coldly.

At the side, Yun Mo frowned as he said, “Imperial Emperor Gu, he can still exchange souls.”

“Exchange souls? I won’t give him an opportunity.” Gu Hai shook his head.

“No. Imperial Emperor Gu, have you forgotten my voice transmission zither puppets? That used the principle of resonance. He was the one who left behind this principle. I just modified it,” Yun Mo said with a frown.

“Oh? What does that mean?”

“This principle was not originally used for zither puppets. Instead, it was for a designated soul exchange,” Yun Mo said worriedly.

“Designated soul exchange? What does that mean?” Gu Hai asked in confusion.

“That is to designate a person to exchange souls with in advance, executing the technique on that person beforehand. This way, Long Sanqian can initiate a soul exchange at any time, no matter where the target is,” Yun Mo explained anxiously.

“What?” Everyone’s expression changed as they looked at Long Sanqian.

If he has designated a person for a soul exchange, doesn’t that mean he can abandon his body and escape anytime?

“Yun Mo, you talk too much!” Long Sanqian said furiously as he glared.

“The designated target will have a mark left by Long Sanqian. His mark is usually a picture of a guqin,” Yun Mo said anxiously.

Buzz!

Long Sanqian’s entire body trembled, then a blue light came out of him.

“Oh no! He is exchanging souls with his designated target!” Yun Mo’s expression changed.

“Kill him!” Shangguan Hen’s expression changed, intending to attack.

“It’s too late. His souls have already escaped.” Yun Mo shook his head.

“He fled?” Gu Hai’s expression sank.

“I recall now! I recall now! I have seen a tattoo of a guqin!” The Mosquito Daoist’s expression changed.

“Oh?” Everyone looked at the Mosquito Daoist.

“It’s Long Shenwu! When I fought with him, I saw the tattoo of a guqin on his nape! It’s him?!” the Mosquito Daoist said anxiously.

“Long Shenwu?” Everyone’s face sank.

Boom!

Suddenly, a blue light rushed towards Long Sanqian’s body and entered.

“You unfilial son! How dare you!” Long Sanqian suddenly roared with a ferocious expression.

After that roar, Long Sanqian’s body trembled as he looked around in shock.

“Gu Hai?” Long Sanqian’s expression changed.

Then Long Sanqian looked at his body and roared, “You unfilial son! You unfilial son! You bastard!”

Just as Long Sanqian was about to burst in rage, Shangguan Hen reached out and pressed down, suppressing Long Sanqian and rendering him immobile.

“Long Shenwu?” Gu Hai’s eyelids twitched wildly.

The surrounding people felt horrified. This soul exchange ability was truly ghastly.

“Even if he does not become the master of the Han Nation, he can also become the master of the Wu Nation? Hah! How strange of the music Dao!” Chen Tianshan said sullenly.

“When we traveled to eight hundred thousand years in the past, Long Sanqian took control of the Wu Imperial Dynasty in secret. Unfortunately, Long Shenwu discovered it, turned the important officials into his zombie progeny, and reclaimed his authority. He had only just regained his authority, and Long Sanqian took such a drastic measure to exchange souls with Long Shenwu? Hah! The plots between this father-son pair are truly diabolical!” Mo Yike said with a deep breath.

Gu Hai narrowed his eyes. “You are Long Shenwu?”

“Humph! Our unfilial son schemed against us. Our Jiangchen bloodline also became our unfilial son’s. Hahahaha! Gu Hai, kill us if you want. However, know that we did not die to you. We got killed by our unfilial son!” Long Shenwu felt extremely frustrated at the moment.

“Mo Yike, contact the spies in Martial Heaven City,” Gu Hai said.

Mo Yike immediately left. Soon, he returned.

“Your Reverence, the blessings at Martial Heaven City churned, and the golden blessings dragon screamed once. Then everything recovered to normal. Finally, their emperor summoned Six Fingers into the palace,” Mo Yike explained.

“Oh? It looks like it’s true.” Gu Hai frowned slightly.

“Gu Hai, you don’t have to verify it. We got sabotaged by our unfilial son. This is of our own doing. However, remember that you have your current accomplishments because Eminent Father showed you great grace previously!” Long Sanqian stared at Gu Hai.

“Oh? You still remember Long Zhanguo? Why did you stand by idly and watch back when Long Zhanguo opposed Heaven?” Gu Hai stared at Long Shenwu.

“Humph! When Eminent Father discussed it with us three brothers, I was not willing. So what?!” Long Sanqian said coldly.

“Long Zhanguo discussed it with the three of you? Hah! It’s right, then. Few knew about that. Long Sanqian definitely would not. However, Long Zhanguo had mentioned it to us. We are now certain you are Long Shenwu,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Humph! So what if you verified it? Are you going to let me go?” Long Sanqian sneered.

“Why not?” Gu Hai smiled.

“Huh?” Long Sanqian felt startled.

The expressions of the surrounding officials changed, then changed again when they understood.

“You wish to release us so that we can deal with our unfilial son? Hah!” Long Sanqian stared at Gu Hai.

“That’s right!” Gu Hai nodded straightforwardly.

“Huh?” Long Sanqian’s face sank.

“Shangguan Hen, undo his seal and let him go!” Gu Hai instructed.

“Yes!” Shangguan Hen extended his hand and undid Long Sanqian’s seal.

“Long Shenwu, by letting you go, I have repaid Long Zhanguo’s favor. Don’t bother bringing up Long Zhanguo again,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Humph!” Long Sanqian snorted coldly, then soared into the sky and flew into the distance.
