Chapter 6887: Where Is Gu Chun?
Fire Immortal was a type of true fire enlightened by the dao. He was a golden immortal long ago but coveted the high heaven’s flames.
He concocted a terrible method to swallow ten minor worlds at once, infuriating the high heaven. Terrible tribulations descended and he barely survived the ordeal, successfully infusing the high heaven’s flame into his own.
Because of this, he was one level above the three messengers, hence their ugly expression. Nevertheless, they still greeted him just like the others.
Fire Immortal was older than them, being one of the founders alongside Mang. He came from the main branch of Fallen Ten, just like Mang.
He disappeared after the defeat at Heaven Pit. Most assumed his lifespan had run out, but this turned out to be far from the truth. He appeared as vigorous as ever.
“Fellow Daoists, you three are responsible for defending the headquarters, leave the battlefield to the young. This is a good chance to train them, so Immortal Devourer should be the commander for this fight to protect our world.” He made his intention clear.
Normally, seniority mattered on the battlefield. Mirage and Extinguish were older and had enough power to lead the troops. However, the fallen ones cared about power the most.
“Brother, Dark Realm is in charge of all matters relating to the alliance. Only Dark Realm can decide on who leads, please understand.” Controller responded.
Having control over the men meant near-absolute authority in the alliance. Mang had it once, so did Zhao Dachui. When Immortal Emperor Gu Chun took over, he also had total authority and established unbreakable rules.
Now, Dark Realm had the authority to decide on another commander in his absence. Fire Immortal was crossing the line.
“This is an existential crisis...” Fire Immortal said.
Controller immediately interrupted: “Brother, you are under Dark Realm’s command as well.”
Fire Immortal’s expression soured immediately, the same for Immortal Devourer.
“We have spilled our blood for the alliance. We are responsible for protecting it with everything.” Fire Immortal said.
His sudden change of attitude surprised everyone. It sounded as if he wanted to contribute to Dark Realm.
“Our great leader has an even greater responsibility, to lead the way on the battlefield and fight with us.” He added.
“Yes, kill the enemies and protect the alliance!” Immortal Devourer played along.
“Brothers, please call for the leader, we need his support.” Fire Immortal bowed to the three messengers.
The three understood what they wanted to do. The request was fine in logic. After all, they were under attack and everyone was here. How could the leader be absent without losing the heart of his followers?
“The leader is not here.” Controller said.
They simply didn’t know where he was. He disappeared after establishing the rules and leaving Dark Desire behind.
“He is not here?” Fire Immortal said: “Then what else is there to say? Our alliance moves as one in life and death, he should do the same. When the progenitor was around, he was a role model on the battlefield and spilled blood with us. This has been an unbroken tradition. You must summon him no matter what.”
“Yes, please summon him to fight alongside us.” Immortal Devourer shouted.
