Chapter 402 - 402 He Chuan's First Encounter with the Son of Destiny
402 He Chuan’s First Encounter with the Son of Destiny
The hole in Ye Xiu’s chest began to change. In the blink of an eye, he became a ten-meter-long fish.
The fish scales were very bright under the sun.
A bloodless human face slid down from the huge fish and floated towards the Island Master of Floating Jade Island.
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island’s expression became even gloomier. The changes in Ye Xiu’s body made him understand what Gu Mingzhou meant.
Reaching out to take the human face, he looked at the familiar face and suddenly felt pain in his heart.
Fresh blood spurted out of the Floating Jade Island Master’s mouth.
The human skin mask proved the Island Master of Floating Jade Island was protecting a fake Ye Xiu. It also proved Ye Xiu had suffered disfigurement before he died.
This caused Floating Jade Island Master to feel heartache.
“How did you know?” Floating Jade Island Master wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and asked in a deep voice as he looked at Ye Xiu’s face in his hand.
The original vast true core strength started to be restrained.
“Because I buried him.” Gu Mingzhou shook the body of the strange fish off the mountain stream, put away the burning blood spear, and looked up at the sky as he answered softly.
Floating Jade Island Master did not say anything more. He turned around and flew toward the Floating Jade Island rogue cultivators behind him.
He knew why Gu Mingzhou wanted to kill the fake Ye Xiu, but the hundred thousand Floating Jade independent cultivators behind him didn’t know. He needed to explain.
Otherwise, the rogue cultivator of Floating Jade Island might feel estranged from Gu Mingzhou.
Gu Mingzhou would not care about this kind of estrangement.
However, this earth realm master would distance himself from the Floating Jade.
Just as the Floating Jade Island Master had thought, Gu Mingzhou’s domineering behavior had made the hundred thousand Floating Jade rogue cultivators dissatisfied.
He had just lost his home and saw his people being killed in front of him.
“Everyone, please calm down. The person Brother Gu killed wasn’t clan leader Ye Xiu, but a beast spy!” Floating Jade Island Master consoled.
He raised the face of the strange green fish in his hand and showed it to the rogue cultivator of Floating Jade Island.
The skin peeled off Ye Xiu’s face was undoubtedly the best evidence.
“This clan leader Ye Xiu is a fake?”
“Those damned underwater beast cultivators, they actually skinned clan leader Ye Xiu’s face in order to make him appear!
“We must kill all the underwater beast cultivators and avenge chief ye!”
revenge for chief ye!
Seeing Ye Xiu’s human face, rogue cultivator Floating Jade’s hatred shifted to the underwater beast cultivator.
“Everyone, please be quiet!” seeing that his consoling words were effective, Floating Jade Island Master spoke again, suppressing the rogue cultivators who were in a heated discussion. No matter if it was clan leader Ye Xiu or the Floating Jade Island, he had to take revenge.
However, they still needed to find a new home.
Floating Jade Island Master knew what he had to do now. Revenge could be taken slowly, but losing their home meant that they could no longer return.
The rogue cultivators expressed their agreement.
The Island Master of Floating Jade Island revealed a gratified expression and turned to fly toward Gu Mingzhou.
“Many thanks!” Gu Mingzhou immediately said.
The reason why Floating Jade Island Master did this was that he hoped there would not be any estrangement between the remaining hundred thousand rogue cultivators.
“What are you thanking me for?” Floating Jade Island Master asked in confusion.
“If the fake Ye Xiu is killed, wouldn’t it affect the alliance?” Gu Mingzhou turned his gaze back to the other side.
“It’s fine. The other party’s delay in reinforcements has already caused a great impact. Naturally, this one more won’t make a difference!” Floating Jade Island Master said indifferently.
Furthermore, the situation in the Zhou Dynasty was very complicated.
Originally, this group of Zhou Dynasty’s unaffiliated cultivators was not sent by the Imperial Court, but by a team formed by the New World. In their opinion, how many years had it been since the Zhou Dynasty entered the ranks of cultivation? They could not represent the cultivation alliance of the Zhou Dynasty.
However, He Chuan had no interest in such matters. Everything was decided by Empress Changning. It was not the Imperial Court’s army that had led to this battle along the coast.
Furthermore, both the Island Master of Floating Jade Island nor Gu Mingzhou did not know much about He Chuan. They did not know he had killed the seventh elder of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Otherwise, the Island Master of Floating Jade Island would definitely have bypassed the cultivation alliance and gone directly to the Zhou Dynasty’s royal family.
Therefore, Floating Jade Island Master could not tell what the New World cultivation alliance was thinking.
“You’re still afraid of this?” Gu Mingzhou knew what the Floating Jade Island Master meant. He was not blaming him but worried about the future of the Floating Jade rogue cultivator.
Now that the Floating Jade Island had been destroyed, finding a new home was the top priority. After that was revenge.
Originally, they were here to support the Zhou Dynasty. Logically speaking, after the crisis of the Zhou Dynasty was resolved, they would naturally give up land for the Floating Jade rogue cultivator.
However, the New World alliance and the Floating Jade Island had yet to form an alliance, and there was already a barrier between them. This was naturally very disadvantageous to Floating Jade Island.
“I’m not afraid. It’s just that based on the current situation, it’ll be very difficult for us to get a piece of land.” Floating Jade Island Master replied.
The estrangement between the two sides had already been created. The Zhou cultivation alliance’s earlier indifference must have made the hundred thousand Floating Jade cultivators furious. Although they did not say it now, there would definitely be a fight between the two sides after the war was over.
If he had known earlier, he would have gone to the Imperial Court instead of forming an alliance with his old rivals from hundreds of years ago.
The master of Floating Jade Island could suppress and restrain the rogue cultivators, but the cultivators of the New World alliance might not think so.
If the cultivators of the New World alliance were to realize that the Floating Jade individual cultivator would harm them in the future, they might not be willing to let the Floating Jade live in the Zhou Dynasty.
England had formed an alliance with the brutal underwater beast cultivators.
In this way, the Zhou Dynasty could justifiably launch a crusade against England. If they won, the Zhou Dynasty would definitely take the opportunity to unify the surrounding countries.
It was a great opportunity. As the Empress, it was impossible for Changning not to see it.
At this time, even the officials of the Zhou Dynasty would not agree to give up the land to the Floating Jade Island rogue cultivators.
Seeing this, Floating Jade Island Master was filled with worry.
“Why do you want territory from the New World alliance?” Gu Mingzhou turned to look at the Island Master of Floating Jade Island and said.
“The Floating Jade Island has already been destroyed. I want a piece of land in the Zhou Dynasty, where will everyone live? Don’t tell me we’re going to drift in the vast ocean?” The Floating Jade Island Master revealed a puzzled look.
“Brother Liu, you didn’t understand what I meant. This is the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, not the territory of the New World alliance! If he wanted to settle down in the Zhou Dynasty, why did he have to ask them? Gu Mingzhou was flying somewhere.
“I request to see Duke He!” Gu Mingzhou said very respectfully.
Ever since he stepped onto the land of the Zhou Dynasty, his heart had been palpitating. Even Zhao Qiankun and Jing Wudao had gone into hiding, not daring to show their faces.
The space in front of him distorted and a spatial crack appeared. He Chuan, who had not seen him for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of Gu Mingzhou and swept his gaze over him.
“The world’s son of destiny. You have a strong killing intent but still know you are human. I can spare your life.” He Chuan’s words were very light as if they were emotionless.
However, Gu Mingzhou broke out in a cold sweat. He had never felt this way before, not even when he was facing the World God Xu Fengyu.
He now understood why the Zhou Dynasty’s Imperial Court did not even look at the alliance between England and the underwater beast cultivators. It was because with this great God here, Xu Fengyu would not be a problem.
“Duke He, please be wise. I don’t know what fate is, I only want to fulfill my own wishes. As for the Young Lord, it has nothing to do with me. I grew up in the Zhou Dynasty.” Gu Mingzhou bent over and cupped his hands, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
“You want to help the people of the Floating Jade Island get a piece of land?” He Chuan placed his hands behind his back and glanced at Gu Mingzhou’s dantian. He seemed to have discovered something, but he did not point it out.
