Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul?

A bright gleam flashed in Gu Hai’s eyes.

“Emperor Gu, you have a precious family member who died, right? Chen Xianer?” Ninth Young Master looked at Gu Hai.

“Huh?” Gu Hai suddenly raised his eyebrows, coldly eyeing Ninth Young Master.

“Although Emperor Gu hid this information extremely carefully, has Emperor Gu forgotten? Your son, Gu Qin, knows about it, so it is no longer a secret to the Heavenly Go Pavilion—which will use Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul as a hostage against Emperor Gu, right?” Ninth Young Master said with a smile.

“Oh?” Gu Hai’s face sank.

Gu Qin leaked the secret? Gu Qin is the person who knows the most about me. Chen Xianer? Gu Qin will use Chen Xianer’s heavenly soul as a hostage against me?

Gu Hai frowned at Ninth Young Master. “Ninth Young Master, why are you telling me this?”

Ninth Young Master looked at Gu Hai. Eventually, he showed a faint, bitter smile. “I came here today with a request for Emperor Gu.”

“Oh?” Gu Hai looked at Ninth Young Master.

“I recall that Emperor Gu owes me a favor from back on Nine-Five Island?” Ninth Young Master looked at Gu Hai.

“That’s right. There was internal conflict within Elite Hall back then. Ninth Young Master had indeed helped me out. Gu Hai will always remember this favor.” Gu Hai nodded.

“That’s good, then. I hope I’m seeking help from the right person this time,” Ninth Young Master said with a soft sigh.

“Ninth Young Master, do tell me about it,” Gu Hai said seriously.

“Emperor Gu, do you remember that I was willing to pa.s.s on all of the pavilion master’s inheritance if you became my subst.i.tute?” Ninth Young Master looked at Gu Hai.

“Does it have something to do with Old Mister Guan Qi’s revival?” Gu Hai asked, feeling puzzled.

Ninth Young Master took a deep breath and sighed. Then, he nodded.

“Do tell me the details.”

“The nine inheritors of Guan Qi. Hah! To put it nicely, we are Old Mister Guan Qi’s nine personal disciples. Since we received Old Mister Guan Qi’s inheritance, others view us in a glorious light. However, they do not know that we nine are only sh.e.l.ls for Old Mister Guan Qi,” Ninth Young Master said with some horror in his eyes.

“Oh? Old Mister Guan Qi will revive by s.n.a.t.c.hing the body of one of you nine?” Gu Hai asked.

Ninth Young Master nodded. “That’s right. s.n.a.t.c.hing our body to revive? Hah! When we received Old Mister Guan Qi’s inheritance, the cultivation technique of that inheritance only served to push our bodies to meet his requirements for s.n.a.t.c.hing our bodies, shaping our bodies into a soul container for him. He will pick one person to take over their body.”

“That’s why you do not want the ident.i.ty of being one of Guan Qi’s nine inheritors? You obtained Old Mister Guan Qi’s inheritance but are afraid of Old Mister Guan Qi? Since this is the case, why…?” Gu Hai frowned.
