Book 5: Chapter 15: Overly Stimulated

Dong! Dong! Dong! Dong!War drums boomed outside the Silver Moon Sea as a murderous intent pressed towards the fog-covered Silver Moon Sea.City Lord Sima appeared slightly worried. When he turned to Gu Hai, he saw that Gu Hai remained calm while looking at a group of azure-clad men in front of the fog before them.“What’s wrong? Is the master of your ritual array too cowardly to come out?” Gu Hai asked coldly.The azure-clad men outside the ritual array showed cold expressions. “You bastards, do you think my lord is someone you can meet at your whim?”“Hah! He killed the Qian Nation citizens while in the Qian Nation’s territory. Even if the Azure Emperor comes, he cannot protect you all!” Gu Hai said coldly.“Humph! You can try barging in if you dare!” the leader of the azure-clad men said coldly.Barge in? Gu Hai did not intend to do that.“Keep sounding the war drums. I don’t believe that they will remain hidden in there like tortoises,” Gu Hai said coldly.Dong! Dong! Dong!The Silver Moon City soldiers continuously pounded on the war drums. At this moment, the soldiers did not feel any confidence. After all, Seven Kills had caused too much destruction in Silver Moon City. Many of the soldiers would have fled long ago if it were just the city lord here.However, it was different with Gu Hai around. When Gu Hai stood at the front, the soldiers felt fearlessly calm.“Humph! You want to seek trouble for my lord with just you lot? Avenge the Qian Nation citizens? What a joke! Well, I have killed more than a hundred people so far. Come attack me, then! All of us here have killed the Qian Nation citizens before. What can you do about it? Humph!” an azure-clad man glared as he charged over.The azure-clad man held a mace. Approaching in the blink of an eye, he swung his weapon at Gu Hai’s flying ship.Containing the power of a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator, the mace strike kicked up a surging gale.City Lord Sima’s expression changed. At this moment, Gu Hai moved, stretching his hand to the Life Executioner Saber on his back.“Third Cycle!” Gu Hai shouted coldly.Buzz!Suddenly, purple light lit up the world.——Inside the ritual array, Seven Kills and Gong Tian goggled.“A saber domain? How can that be?” Gong Tian exclaimed in shock.“Oh no!” Seven Kills’s face sank.——Boom!The purple light suddenly withdrew and vanished. Gu Hai had already returned the Life Executioner Saber to his back. The earlier explosion was the azure-clad man exploding together with his mace, turning into a blood mist in the air.“Hah!” the soldiers behind Gu Hai roared excitedly.However, Gu Hai showed a serious expression. He did not show any mercy for the Azure Emperor’s subordinates, chopping down a peak Nascent Soul Realm cultivator without any hesitation. This stunned all the other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators who were about to charge.The expressions of the azure-clad men changed dramatically. Although there was a Lower Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator among these people, that person had no intention of pressing on.“Have you informed milord?” the Heavenly Palace Realm azure-clad man asked while glaring.“Yes! We have already sent someone,” someone at the side answered.Gu Hai looked coldly at the other side. The azure-clad men were all already shocked. Then, he took a deep breath and called out, “Mu Chenfeng!”“Hall Master?” Mu Chenfeng approached.“I told you previously. No one will dare to cause trouble for you now. Go deliver the declaration of war,” Gu Hai said.“A declaration of war? Is that necessary?” City Lord Sima asked in confusion.You have already killed one of them, yet you now want to issue a declaration of war?“The one I just killed was merely a reckless fool. The Qian Nation has the Qian Nation’s rules. In the end, they represent the Azure Emperor. The etiquette cannot be dispensed with,” Gu Hai said coldly.“Alright.” City Lord appeared confused. Why is Mister Gu being so inflexible over this?Gu Hai took out a tightly rolled-up scroll with the words “Declaration of War” on it.Mu Chenfeng held the scroll as he slowly flew towards the fog.The azure-clad men showed ferocious expressions there. However, with Gu Hai coldly watching them, they did not charge forward.“Humph! When milord comes out, you can forget about fleeing!” the azure-clad men snarled with ferocious scowls.Gu Hai stared at them with a serious expression.Mu Chenfeng somewhat worriedly approached the fog.At this moment, Gong Tian and Seven Kills flew to the edge of the ritual array in a rage.Whoosh!Suddenly, the fog in the ritual array parted, revealing Gong Tian, Seven Kills, and others. They all stared at the flying ships with ferocious expressions.When Mu Chenfeng saw the fog part, he immediately shouted, “Bandits who killed our citizens, Elite Hall Master Gu Hai represents the Silver Moon City citizens in formally issuing a declaration of war to you. Catch!”“Humph!” Seven Kills snorted coldly as he waved.A manifested palm suddenly appeared and shot towards Mu Chenfeng.Mu Chenfeng’s expression changed as he tossed out the scroll. He immediately retreated.Boom!Even so, the shock waves from the manifested palm still struck Mu Chenfeng, knocking him back in a sorry state.“Humph! Not even worth a strike,” Seven Kills sneered.Gong Tian extended his hand and caught the scroll.Gong Tian coldly eyed the group on the other side as he held the scroll.“Hall Master!” Mu Chenfeng flew over in pain.“Division Master Mu, you have suffered,” Gu Hai said seriously.“I’m fine. Haha!” Mu Chenfeng laughed bitterly.“Based on Seven Kills’s palm strike…is he a Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator?” City Lord Sima asked worriedly while frowning.“That’s right. The one who caught the scroll is also a Heavenly Palace Realm cultivator,” Gu Hai said indifferently.“Ah?” City Lord Sima appeared somewhat worried.In the distance, Gong Tian looked at Gu Hai’s group sullenly while holding the scroll.“You are Gu Hai? Do you dare to come into my ritual array?” Gong Tian said coldly.“The declaration of war already clearly says it. Are you illiterate?” Gu Hai shouted coldly.Declaration of war?We are already right across from you, yet you issued us a declaration of war?Seven Kills and Gong Tian narrowed their eyes slightly as they looked at the other side, appearing somewhat confused. However, since they had already received the declaration of war, there was no issue with taking a look at it.Gong Tian slowly unfurled the scroll and looked at it with a frown.“Huh? The wrong scroll?” Gong Tian felt slightly startled.“What do you mean by the wrong scroll?” Seven Kills looked over in confusion.There was not a single word on the scroll, only a strange drawing of an egg.An egg?“Hahahahahaha! Are you crazy? Why did you give me a painting?” Gong Tian guffawed.“Ah? You sent the wrong one?” City Lord Sima immediately looked at Gu Hai worriedly.Mu Chenfeng said in confusion, “Hall Master, did you get it wrong?”However, Gu Hai sneered, “Ignorant. To think that you cannot even understand my declaration of war. What a joke!”Gu Hai’s disdainful sneer prompted Gong Tian and Seven Kills to take another glance subconsciously at that painting. However, all they saw was an egg.“Humph! Acting all mysterious. You are just overestimating yourself. What is the point of this lousy declaration of war?” Gong Tian shouted coldly, tossing the scroll to his subordinates.The subordinates immediately picked it up to take a look.“It really is just an egg?”“The egg’s color seems to be fading?”“Let me see! Let me see! It really is fading!”“This is a declaration of war? The black tortoise that we previously interrogated praised Gu Hai to the heavens. To think that he could deliver the wrong scroll?”“It is better to see for oneself than hear about it.”The subordinates showed disdainful expressions. Now, that egg painting completely vanished.“Hah! Seven Kills, they don’t dare to come over. There’s no point in exchanging words with them. How about you go and capture them?” Gong Tian looked at Seven Kills.“Me? What about you?”“I need to manage the ritual array. I promised the imperial lord not to leave the ritual array.” Gong Tian shook his head.“That’s fine. They are just a bunch of people embarrassing themselves. I’ll do it,” Seven Kills sneered.As Seven Kills sneered, one of the subordinates behind him suddenly shouted, “Oh no! It’s bad! They used poison! My abdomen hurts!”“Gu Hai poisoned us? Milord, argh! My abdomen hurts!”“My abdomen hurts too! Milord, save me!”The subordinates cried out as they clutched their bellies.Suddenly, Seven Kills’s expression changed. “Ah! My…my abdomen as well…”Gong Tian’s expression changed as he flung out his sleeves. “Gu Hai, you despicable, vile person, to think that you dare to poison us?”When Gong Tian flung out his sleeves, the ritual array operated, encasing the surroundings in churning fog, isolating them.“Argh! Argh! Argh! Milord, my abdomen is growing larger!”“I feel two clumps of energy growing in my abdomen!”“Oh no! I can’t force it out. What poison is this?” Gong Tian’s expression changed.Seven Kills’s legs suddenly turned weak, horror spreading across his face. “My abdomen! What is in my abdomen?”City Lord Sima, Mu Chenfeng, and the Silver Moon City soldiers goggled as they watched the abdomens of everyone on the other side suddenly swell, even ripping the clothes. Then, everyone on the other side fell to the ground.“Mister Gu, you…when did you do it? Why did I not notice it?” City Lord Sima asked in confusion.“When I issued the declaration of war,” Gu Hai replied indifferently.“That declaration of war? The painting on it? Ah! Could it be similar to the painting in Vacant City? They are pregnant?” City Lord Sima suddenly exclaimed in alarm.“Anyone who looks at it will get pregnant?” Mu Chenfeng exclaimed, stupefied.“Ah? Didn’t you say it was a declaration of war? Why did you…”“Why did I not follow the rules? Hah! There is no need to follow the rules with them!” Gu Hai’s eyes turned bloodshot.As Gu Hai spoke, he stepped forward and flew towards the people on the other side.“Milord, I feel weak. I have no energy. Ah! My abdomen is growing larger. I can feel it! I can feel it! It is…it is a baby?” an azure-clad man exclaimed in fear.Buzz!Everyone fell silent, shocked and horrified upon feeling that there were babies in their belly.“I have been knocked up! Milord, save me!”“Milord, that Gu Hai is coming!”Everyone felt incredibly anxious.Gong Tian and Seven Kills had looked twice. Naturally, they had twins. At this moment, the two were aghast.“We got fooled! Hurry! Capture Gu Hai! He is only a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Capture him while we still have some strength! No, kill him! Hurry!” Gong Tian shouted while glaring.Right now, the twins have not grown to their largest yet. There’s still time. There’s still time.“Hah!”Seven Kills and Gong Tian charged at Gu Hai nearly simultaneously.“Mister Gu, be careful!” City Lord Sima cried out in alarm.“Hall Master, be careful!” Mu Chenfeng likewise exhorted.Gong Tian and Seven Kills glared as they charged over while holding their bellies. Despite their large bellies, the two still looked imposing. It seemed like they would soon arrive before Gu Hai.However, Gu Hai suddenly flung his sleeves out, and five paintings flew out of his sleeves and hovered in front of him. Each of these paintings had an egg.Since Seven Kills and Gong Tian were charging over, they immediately saw the five eggs.Five eggs?“No!”Seven Kills and Gong Tian felt overly stimulated nearly simultaneously.
