Zhang Ying Hao agreed: “I guess that’s one way, since we’re living people, we can’t go to Huang Quan’s hell to investigate the situation anyways”
“Yeah, I definitely have to find out what’s going on with Huang Quan” saying so, Gu Qing Shan took out his Holo-Brain and contacted the President .
An hour later .
A few hundred shuttles arrived at this part of the ocean .
A few high-ranking officers came into Gu Qing Shan and Zhang Ying Hao’s shuttle .
“Mr . Gu, pleased to be here, how can we be of service?” one of the officers asked .
Lot of the events that happened during the past few days have been made known across the Confederate, so everyone here knows that Mr . Gu is a world-class scientist .
-------as well as a powerful Professionist .
“Are you going to kill a few sea creatures?” another officer asked .
“No, everyone can just make a formation with your shuttles behind mine”
“A show of power?” a colonel asked in confusion, “will the sea creatures understand that?”
“Our target isn’t a sea creature, he’s a guy who’s even stronger than the sea creatures”
“Please arrange our strategy”
“You won’t need to act”
The officers exchanged glances .
No need to act? Then what are we here for?
Gu Qing Shan smiled and explained: “With you here, our lineup will look very intimidating, and what I need most right now is a huge intimidation factor to deter him”
The officers could only return to their respective shuttles .
Following the black cat’s direction, over a hundred armed shuttles formed a formation and headed for their destination .
“How is it precious?” Zhang Ying Hao held the black cat up and asked softly .
“Meow~” the black cat answered .
Zhang Ying Hao looked at Gu Qing Shan and spoke: “It said we’re here, he’s right beneath us”
“Very well, have everyone scattered and surround this area” Gu Qing Shan ordered .
[Understood, sir] Impartial Goddess answered .
On the screen, they could see the armed shuttles form a proper surround to enclose the frozen sea below .
Below the frozen sea, a few naive giant sea creatures looked up at the shuttles that filled the sky, roaring in anger .
They can’t attack them since the shuttles were in the sky .
Gu Qing Shan patted Zhang Ying Hao shoulder and walked to the shuttle door .
“I’ll go find him, you’re in charge of command, keep touch” Gu Qing Shan said .
The door opened .
Gu Qing Shan came out of the shuttle and formed a hand seal .

The Earth Sword turned into a streak of light and jetted down .
5 blinding silver stars manifested in the sky, stabbed through one of the sea creatures that had gathered on top of the ice .
The sea creature’s roar stopped .
Its body was diced into mush, crashing down through the ice and back into the ocean .
On the white icy surface, a bloody red hole was carved open .
Of course the hole didn’t last for too long as the ice was fixing itself up so fast that you could see it with your eyes .
But Gu Qing Shan just stood in the air, manipulating a sword flying back and forth, dispatching sea creatures one after another .
There were numerous sea creatures around, once they noticed Gu Qing Shan, they would always jump up to try and devour him .
Wherever the Earth Sword went, dead sea creatures followed .
[Attention all personnel, attention all personnel, the monster has appeared!] Zhang Ying Hao spoke into the intercom .
On their respective shuttles, every commander appeared serious as they heard that .
“Turn on the 360 degrees’ outer surveillance cameras!” they all ordered .
Everyone was solemnly observing the scene outside .
[Remember this monster clearly and stay away from him, lest you get injured accidentally] Zhang Ying Hao very sincerely told them .
“Mr . Zhang, which monster are you talking about exactly?” one of the officers asked in confusion .
[Gu Qing Shan]
“…”
Everyone looked back .
What they saw was Gu Qing Shan standing still in midair as a streak of light dashed around circling him, occasionally flying out to kill the sea creatures .
That streak of light is exceptionally powerful, enough to punch holes through the sea creatures like butter .
Nothing could stop that streak of light .
One of the sea creatures roared, wanting to kill this human .
But Gu Qing Shan only shifted his body slightly to fly upwards .
Sea creatures can’t fly .
The streak of light flashed a few times, turning this sea creature into a huge corpse just like the rest .
In a matter of minutes, he had already cleaned up all the sea creatures .
There was only one left .
This was a human-bodied, octopus-headed giant monster .
It would always dodge and avoid whenever Gu Qing Shan attacked .
“Black cloaked skeleton, I know it’s you, I have a few things that I need answered” Gu Qing Shan spoke .
The giant sea creature floated on the water, then suddenly spoke in a hoarse, human voice: 「 I have no obligation to answer anything 」
It turns out this sea creature was actually the black cloaked skeleton .
It somehow had a method to hide inside a sea creature’s body!

Undoubtedly, sea creatures are very far from human surveillance since they live in the ocean .
If it attempted to do anything while inside a sea creature, no human would ever find out!
Gu Qing Shan asked: “Not even a little chat?”
The octopus sea creature didn’t answer .
It broke the ice where it was thinnest, dived in and headed deep into the ocean .
The oceans are the sea creatures’ territory .
If Gu Qing Shan dares to get into the water to fight him, he would instead welcome it .
No matter how much destructive power he has, being in the water will limit him one way or another .
Thinking that, the black cloaked skeleton sped up his dive .
Gu Qing Shan sighed and was about to act, but then a streak of light came up from the water, floating by Gu Qing Shan .
The Chao Yin Sword .
The Chao Yin Sword’s hilt started to shake up at him, as if telling Gu Qing Shan to quickly grab it .
Gu Qing Shan held the sword .
Not waiting for the War God UI to remind him, Gu Qing Shan infused the sword with his Soul Points .
-------after using it so many times, Gu Qing Shan can now sense its existence
This was similar to spirit energy, as he used it more, his experience slowly accumulated .
Receiving Soul Points, the Chao Yin Sword started to let out a faint glow .
The sound of the flowing tides started to resound from the sword .
Once again, the 4 characters from Shen Wu world manifested on the sword blade again .
Even a sea of pain will pass .
Gu Qing Shan suddenly understood .
“Split!” he muttered .
The Chao Yin Sword shook .
With impressive speed, the sea began to open up in front of Gu Qing Shan .
Originally, the sea creature that the black cloaked skeleton possessed wanted to dive down with everything it had .
But the very next second, all the water around the sea creature had disappeared .
Above, around, below, not a single drop of water existed within 10 meters of the sea creature .
It was so frightened that it tried to reach for the sea just a few meters away .
But no matter how it tried, the seawater around quickly avoided it, as if rejecting its entry .
Without water to float in, all that’s below is a bottomless abyss .
「 Aaaaaah----」
The sea creature screamed in a human voice below falling into the abyss .
All the Confederate military men around opened their mouths and eyes wide as they saw this .

Zhang Ying Hao sighed, then took the intercom: [This isn’t a monster, I repeat, this isn’t a monster, this is god]
At this moment, Gu Qing Shan finally understood what the Chao Yin Sword’s Thaumaturgy meant .
--------any obstacles born of water can be solved with the Chao Yin Sword!
This is what ‘Even a sea of pain will pass’ means!
No wonder the Shen Wu world’s Divinity forged this sword in order to become a pillar to the sea .
Gu Qing Shan looked at the War God UI .
His Soul Points was decreasing at a rate of 10 points per second .
Gu Qing Shan held the Chao Yin Sword and lightly swung .
Poohm!
The sea began to close up again!
The water around the octopus’s sea creature once again surrounded it, slowing its descent .
Following that, an immense force shot the octopus sea creature up and out from the sea .
Bam!
A dull sound of impact .
The sea creature landed back on the water surface, but this time it didn’t sink .
The sea had literally rejected it .
“Now we can talk” Gu Qing Shan spoke .
The sea creature glared at him furiously .
All of a sudden, a black shadow rose from the sea creature, turning into the black cloaked skeleton .
The black cloaked skeleton stood hovering in the air, his hand held an icy sword, emitting intense killing intent .
Gu Qing Shan nonchalantly continued: “As the first monarch of the Frozen Hell to descend on the Human Realm, I bet you paid quite a heavy price”
「 What exactly do you want to say? 」the black cloaked skeleton was irritated for being poked at a painful place and asked .
For such a terrifying monster to have possessed a mere sea creature, all the military men surrounding this area were shocked .
Zhang Ying Hao held the intercom and spoke very solemnly: [Stay calm, keep steady hand on your weapons and do not fire]
“Roger!”
The commanders responded .
On the night sky .
A conversation that could affect the fate of the entire world was commencing .
Gu Qing Shan spoke first: “I’ll have to say, every time that you fall into slumber, I can always find you . Just like this time”
「 And then what? 」 the black cloaked skeleton asked .
“You can try taking a look around” Gu Qing Shan answered .
The black cloaked skeleton looked up and evaluated his surroundings .
In the sky, innumerable black shuttles had surrounded this entire area .
「 You actually dispatched an entire nation’s power just to deal with me? 」the black cloaked skeleton asked .
For a few certain things, no matter how strong a single person is, they would still be no match for the power of sheer number and cooperation .
Since he was an Emperor once, he knows better than anyone just how terrifying the combined might of a country could be .
And now, someone has dispatched the power of a whole nation, just to deal with myself .
If that’s the case, then there’s nowhere I can hide, even falling into slumber wouldn’t be an easy task .
The black cloaked skeleton roared in frenzy: 「 What the fuck! So many monsters are appearing, why must you single me out alone! 」
“Correct, I indeed want to single you out alone” Gu Qing Shan nodded, “if you won’t answer a few small questions of mine, I will keep using the country’s power to pursue you, to make sure you can only fall into slumber again and again”
「 I know you’re investigating the matters regarding Huang Quan, but nothing good will come of this for both you and I! 」the black cloaked skeleton begrudgingly answered him .
It almost seems like he was afraid to talk about this .
Gu Qing Shan didn’t back down: “I don’t need anything good to come of this, I only want to know what happened in Huang Quan”
「 Definitely not! I absolutely cannot tell you 」 the black cloaked skeleton insisted .
“You won’t tell? Very well, then I will keep pursuing you over and over . Even when other powerful dead people from the Frozen Hell descends, I swear I would still keep pursuing you”
Gu Qing Shan stared at him and stated lightly: “All the way until humanity goes extinct”
「 You damn maniac! Why do you insist on interfering with me! 」the black cloaked skeleton really went insane .
If he were to really do that, I’ll be completely stagnant .
At that point, I won’t be able to do anything except watch as the other monsters feast on human souls and become stronger and stronger .
While I myself will be forced into slumber over and over again, not having any chance to gain power .
If those old enemies knew of my situation right now, they will probably laugh themselves awake in the middle of the night . (1)
If worse comes to worst, I might even be unable to stand up to them at all .
I might fare even worse than a slave!
Gu Qing Shan shrugged and smiled: “All of it will be because you refused to answer a few small questions ------truthfully, I’m only going to ask about really simple things, no need to worry”
「 This isn’t ‘a small question’, this is an untouchable subject 」 the black cloaked skeleton’s tone remained firm and serious .
Gu Qing Shan replied: “No no no, all I want to know is a small bit of intelligence, guarantee they won’t trouble you”
“As long as you answer them, I will personally put you to sleep, and guarantee that I won’t bother you again”
Gu Qing Shan took out a box of cigars and have them hover over .
“This is quite the rare article; I know you’ll enjoy them”
“Come, smoke some cigars and tell me a bit about Huang Quan, then peacefully go to sleep”
The black cloaked skeleton glanced at the box of cigar floating in front of himself .
With his eyes, he could obviously tell what quality this is .
This brand of cigar truly used to be the best in the world .
He did like this brand a lot .
This brat is quite observant as well, I only took a light drag in front of him and he already noticed the brand .
Wait!
-------that isn’t the main issue here!
The black cloaked skeleton’s body trembled nonstop, finally unable to control his emotions anymore .
He suddenly started to scream to the sky, his voice echoed everywhere .
「 Aaaaaaaa! Fuck! FUCK! Why did I have to meet such a shameless bastard like you! 」
Note:
(1) laugh themselves awake: this is a Chinese slang, it means that someone hates you so much that they take pleasure from your suffering even in their sleep .
