After Gu Han racked his brains, there were only two ways to solve the problem of the Sword of Victory.
Either he could find a Sword Maiden that was twin to the Victory Sword, then Guhan would be able to successfully become an Immortal sword wielder. Or he could find a Green Silk Sword and forcefully sever the mark between himself and the Victory Sword. Then he could find two Sword Maidens that were twin to synchronize with him.
From the looks of it, the first solution was impossible. No one had ever heard of a Sword Maiden that was twin to the Victory Sword. In that case, he could only use the second solution, which was to find the Green Silk Sword and sever the mark between himself and the Victory Sword.
This made Gu Han feel like he had returned to three years ago. He had returned to the time three years ago when he was searching for the Green Silk Sword to sever his connection with the Juzi Sword, so that he could synchronize with the King of Yue Goujian Sword.
However, things had changed. Now, Juzi had become his indispensable Sword Maiden, and the King of Yue's Goujian Sword had become Koo Rok-in's Sword Maiden. He had regained his Qidian Sword, and now he yearned for the Green Silk Sword again.
"Forget it, I still have to kill my way to the Liu Nian Family and have a decisive battle with Kenzu's Sword Soul. If I win, the Liu Nian Family won't dare to not sever my Green Silk Sword!"
Guhan thought to himself. However, now was not the time to kill his way into the Liu Nian Family. This was because Guhan believed that he did not have the ability to defeat Kenzu's Sword Soul.
As for twin Sword Maidens, it was not difficult to find them. After all, the Sword Tower in Yuzhang City had such a pair: Yuantu and Avici.
"The East Sea Dragon King, Ao Guang!"
"The West Sea Dragon King, Ao Run!"
"The South Sea Dragon King, Ao Qin!"
"The North Sea Dragon King, Ao Shun!"
"Greetings to our young friend Guhan!"
While Flowing Maple was thinking about the Victory Sword, the four Dragon Kings suddenly walked up to Guhan and took the initiative to greet Guhan.
"Oh, Junior Guhan greets the four Dragon Kings!"
Guhan's attitude towards the Four Seas Dragon Kings was rather respectful because Guhan was still no match for the Four Seas Dragon Kings when they joined forces.
Besides, so what if Gu Han had the ability to defeat the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas? On the contrary, without the restraint of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, the Sea Clan in the sea would be disadvantageous to humans. The best choice was to keep the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to restrain the Sea Clan. Therefore, Gu Han had to maintain a respectful attitude towards the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas.
"Young friend, you're young and extraordinary. You've achieved so much at such a young age. You actually managed to defeat Guan Yu and the other two. I've only seen one person with such ability in my life, and that's your Sword Ancestor … As for the Heaven Shrouding Sword Emperor that you guys hold in high regard, I've seen him too. He's just an empty title. He's not even a tenth of what you're capable of!" said the Four Sea Dragon Kings.
"Zhe Tian Jiandi is just an empty title?
He's only one-tenth of me? "
The words of the Dragon King of the Four Seas made Gu Han feel a little confused. His relationship with Yi Qing could be said to be inextricably messy. It was also because of Yi Qing's various backup plans that he was able to achieve what he had today. It could be said that half of Gu Han's current abilities were due to Yi Qing.
Moreover, from the time he spent with Yi Qing, Guhan could feel that Yi Qing was extremely powerful. Even if Guhan became an immortal sword wielder, he would not dare to say that he could defeat Yi Qing. Why did the Four Seas Dragon Kings say that Yi Qing only had one-tenth of his abilities?
"That's right!
Yi Qing is just a despicable person. He borrowed his power in the human world and came to the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas to ask for the Green Hair Severing. The four of us were afraid of his reputation at first, but when we really fought, we realized that he was just trash. Even the weakest among us, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, easily defeated him and forced him to flee. If it wasn't for the fact that he gave us a lot of benefits as an apology, we would have told everyone that he was just a weakling! "Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, said angrily.
"What kind of joke is this …" Guhan felt even more confused. However, he quickly recalled what had happened in the Rise from the Ground Instance Dungeon. Zhe Tian Jiandi was not one person, but two different people … One was Zhe Tian Jiandi, who was an old man, and the other was Yi Qing. Moreover, Yi Qing had personally told him that her real title was Sihan Jiandi.
This seemed to make sense. The person who had suffered losses in the Dragon Palace was clearly Zhe Tian Jiandi … From what the Four Seas Dragon Kings had said, at that time, Zhe Tian Jiandi had already become famous, which was what had happened after he had wreaked havoc in the Celestial Court.
In other words, at that time, Zhe Tian Jiandi had most likely separated from Yi Qing. It was Zhe Tian Jiandi who had come to find the Four Seas Dragon Kings alone, which was why he could not even defeat the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
However, why had Zhe Tian Jiandi come to find Black Hair Severing?
Since he had already become an Emperor sword wielder, why would he need Black Hair Severing?
Could it be that he wanted to completely cut off his relationship with Yi Qing?
Guhan hurriedly asked the Four Seas Dragon Kings about Zhe Tian Jiandi in detail. Unfortunately, the Four Seas Dragon Kings did not know much. They told Guhan everything they could, but they did not allow Guhan to sort out any clues.
Of course, Guhan had also asked the Dragon Palace if Black Hair Severing was still there. Unfortunately, the Dragon Palace had said that Black Hair Severing had been sold to Xue Juan Jiandi. The Dragon Palace no longer had Black Hair Severing, so Guhan had given up on the idea.
"Thank you, Your Majesties, for telling me the truth. May I know why Your Majesties are looking for me?" Guhan temporarily put Yi Qing's matter aside and asked the Four Seas Dragon Kings about their real purpose.
These four old fellows would not look for him for no reason. They must have been looking for him for a reason.
"This …" The Four Seas Dragon Kings hesitated at the same time and looked at each other. In the end, it was the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang who spoke, "May I ask, Little Friend Guhan, are the two Sword Ladies you took out the Celestial Execution Sword Lady and the Celestial Slashing Sword Lady?"
"Yes!"
Guhan nodded. It seemed like the Celestial Execution Sword and the Celestial Slashing Sword were very famous. Even the Four Seas Dragon Kings had taken the initiative to look for them.
"So it really is the two Sword Ladies!"
The Four Seas Dragon Kings looked at each other excitedly. Then, to Guhan's surprise, they knelt in front of Guhan and said respectfully, "Little Dragon King Ao Guang of the East Sea, Dragon King Ao Run of the West Sea, Dragon King Ao Qin of the South Sea, and Dragon King Ao Shun of the North Sea pay their respects to the Celestial Execution Sword Lady and the Celestial Slashing Sword Lady. We sincerely invite the two Sword Ladies to meet us!"
The sudden action of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas instantly attracted the attention of the others. The humans who were cleaning up the mess were stunned on the spot. They did not even know that the things in their hands had fallen into the sea as they watched the scene in the sky in a daze.
What had happened?
Why were the Four Seas Dragon Kings kneeling in front of Guhan?
Isn't this a little too nonsensical?
Had the heads of the Four Seas Dragon Kings been smashed by someone?
"What do we do?
These four old dragons want to meet you. Are the two of you going to meet them or not? "
Upon seeing this scene, Guhan could only helplessly ask the Celestial Execution Sword and Celestial Slashing Sword in his Purple Palace.
"I don't wish to meet them. Let them go!" Celestial Execution Sword's answer was clean and direct.
"Sigh!
Wait, why chase them away? How about this, Guhan, help us ask the four of them whose side they are on? "Celestial Slashing Sword turned to Guhan.
"Dragon Kings of the Four Seas, please rise. Celestial Slashing Sword Lady has entrusted me with a question. Whose side are the four of you on?" Guhan conveyed Celestial Slashing Sword's question to the Four Seas Dragon Kings without missing a single word.
"This …" The Dragon Kings of the four seas exchanged a few glances. In the end, the Dragon King of the East Sea, Ao Guang, forced himself to answer, "In reply to the two goddesses, of course we are on your side."
"Is Celestial Slashing Sword Lady asking you the truth?" Guhan continued conveying Celestial Slashing Sword's message.
"How would we dare lie?
Apart from standing on the two Goddesses' side, which other side can we stand on?
Only the Goddesses' side will allow us to live. The other side will only lead to death! "Ao Guang said wistfully.
"Alright, Celestial Slashing Sword Lady said that if you stand on her side, you will have to listen to my orders from now on … The entire Sea Clan will have to follow my orders. There is no room for disobedience. That way, they will be able to protect your lives in the final battle. If you agree, it will be a happy decision!"
Guhan was still repeating Celestial Slashing Sword's words. However, Guhan had never expected that Celestial Slashing Sword would request the entire Sea Clan to listen to her orders. Would the Four Seas Dragon Kings really agree to such a request?
Guhan expressed his doubts.
Indeed, when Gu Han mentioned the Immortal Extinguishing Sword's request, the Four Sea Dragon Kings became very hesitant. This was no longer a decision that could be made with just a few looks. After whispering to each other for a while, the East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang said with some fear, "This matter is very important. We must confirm your identity, otherwise …"
"Hmph, the four of you are trouble. The Ancestral Dragon deserves to be killed!"
Celestial Slashing Sword leaped out of its scabbard and stared fiercely at the Four Seas Dragon Kings with its hands on its hips. Then, with a sweep of the Celestial Slashing Sword, half of the Four Seas Dragon Kings' dragon horns were sliced off.
"Oh no!"
Upon seeing this scene, Guhan immediately entered a state of high alert. He was prepared to fight the Four Seas Dragon Kings at any moment … The Celestial Slashing Sword had silently sliced off the Four Seas Dragon Kings' dragon horns. One had to know that dragon horns were what the True Dragon race valued the most. It was akin to a woman's hair. The Celestial Slashing Sword had sliced off the Four Seas Dragon Kings' dragon horns in one go. The Four Seas Dragon Kings would probably fight to the death with him.
However, something unbelievable happened to Guhan. Not only did the Four Seas Dragon Kings not have any intention of fighting to the death with him, they didn't even show a hint of anger. Instead, their faces were filled with joy, as though they could not wait for the Celestial Slashing Sword to slice off their dragon horns.
"Greetings, Lady Celestial Slashing Sword!
Thank you for your bestowment! "
The Dragon Kings of the Four Seas once again knelt in front of Gu Han, causing everyone at the side to stare at them again.
"Get up!
Get up. There's no point in kneeling here and there. The four of us are not the 12 useless disciples of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning, nor are we the Jade Emperor's servants. We sisters don't need such things! "
The Celestial Slashing Sword helped the Four Seas Dragon Kings up. "Speak. Do you agree to my request?"
"Yes!
Yes! "
The Four Seas Dragon Kings immediately answered without any hesitation. "The four of us swear by the Ancestral Dragon Soul that as long as we are alive, we will obey Lord Guhan's orders. The entire sea is Lord Guhan's world!
The four of us are willing to serve Lord Guhan as the Sea Emperor, ruling over everything within the four seas. From this day forth, Lord Guhan's orders are the highest orders of the entire Sea race. Even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble, we will never go back on our vow today! "
"Does this mean that I control the entire Sea race?"
Seeing this scene, Guhan could not help but feel a little dizzy. He had never imagined that he would gain the allegiance of the Four Seas Dragon Kings in the blink of an eye and become the Sea Emperor. This was something that humans did not even dare to think about.
"If I want you to lift the ban on the sea from now on and let the sea be a smooth path for humans, human ships can sail freely on the sea, and the Sea race is not allowed to do anything harmful to humans, can you agree to it?" Guhan hesitated for a while and asked the Four Seas Dragon Kings.
"No problem, we can guarantee it!"
The East Sea Dragon King nodded without hesitation. However, he quickly said with some embarrassment, "However, the Sea race is only a deterrent to the Dragon Clan. Where the Dragon Clan is present, the other Sea race will definitely not dare to harm humans.
However, if the Dragon Clan is not present, we can't control the behavior of the Sea race. After all, they are all Yuan Kou … "
"I understand!"
Guhan nodded. "Anyway, try your best. If you can save someone's life, help me save someone's life!"
"As Your Majesty, the Sea Emperor!" The Four Seas Dragon Kings answered.
"These four old fellows are serious!"
Gu Han saw that the expressions of the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas were very sincere, without any fake emotions. He sighed in his heart, but at the same time, he was filled with emotions. What exactly was the identity of the Four Immortal Exterminating Swords sisters?
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back!
We sisters will never go back on our promises. When the time comes for the final battle, as long as you fulfill your promise, as long as we sisters are alive, we will protect your lives! "
"Thank you, Lady Absolute Immortal!
Thank you, Lady Absolute Immortal! "
After hearing the Immortal Exterminating Swords' promise, the Four Seas Dragon Kings were immediately overjoyed. The four old fellows hugged each other to celebrate … Guhan suddenly thought that if these four old fellows hugged each other in their true dragon form, wouldn't they become a Tianjin hemp flower?
"Let's go!"
Just as Guhan was about to leave the crazy Four Seas Dragon Kings, West Sea Dragon King Ao Run suddenly woke up and walked to Guhan's side with a flattering smile. "May I ask Lord Guhan, is that Miss Gu Shihan your elder sister?"
"Eh, she's my elder sister!
Why are you looking for my elder sister? "Guhan said indifferently.
Guhan could announce to the world that he had two sword maidens at the same time, but he would never announce that Gu Xuanyuan and Gu Shihan were both him. This was related to Guhan's face. Unless his life was in danger, Guhan would never admit this to others.
"It's like this, I don't know if Lord Gu Han knows, but my family's good-for-nothing Little 28 was once saved by your elder sister!" West Sea Dragon King Ao Run said nervously.
"Oh!
I know!
Is there a problem? "Guhan couldn't help recalling the appearance of that good-for-nothing dragon.
"Eh, there's no problem. It's just that ever since my good-for-nothing brat was saved by Miss Gu Shihan, he missed her so much that even I, as his father, can't stand it anymore … Originally, us four brothers came here with an important purpose, which was to propose to Miss Gu Shihan on behalf of my good-for-nothing brat.
Now that Miss Gu Shihan isn't here, I can only tell Lord Guhan. Can you tell Miss Gu Shihan? My good-for-nothing brat is really … "
"Impossible … Don't even think about it!"
Before the West Sea Dragon King Ao Run could finish speaking, Gu Han's face stiffened, and he bluntly rejected him.
"But Lord … My brat, he …"
"Don't say anymore. Otherwise, I won't be the Ocean Emperor anymore. You can find whoever you want to be the Ocean Emperor. I won't play with you anymore!" Guhan's face was extremely ugly.
"Yes!
Yes!
What else could West Sea Dragon King Ao Run say? He could only retreat with his tail between his legs.
