Hidden God #2 (The Last Immortal)

51

~Chapter 51~

It wasn't until Gu Jin came out of the crowd to call the Peacock King that the immortals remembered something very important. 

When the Peacock Clan and the Eagle Clan engaged in battle a few months ago, the Peacock Clan was completely disadvantaged. After obtaining an umbrella from Da Ze Mountain, Hua Shu defeated the Eagle King. The birthday feast being held today is a celebration of that win as well as its birthday. However, the Eagle Clan's seizure of the Blessed Land was most likely the initial reason Hua Shu borrowed the Sky-Shielding Umbrella. If not, Gu Jin would not readily lend the artifact to others to repress another group, even if he intended to return the favor as one of the three lords of Da Ze Mountain. 

The young man has severe eyebrows and is as tall as jade. This is how the Peacock King perceived Gu Jin when he turned around. Unlike the isolated Eagle Clan, Da Ze Mountain is a giant in the immortal realm. He quickly banished Yan Shuang from the island since he was determined to reveal the truth, but he didn't anticipate Gu Jin speaking up in any case. 

"Immortal Lord Gu Jin?" Hua Mo asked, looking at Gu Jin without any concern. Gu Jin lent the Sky-Shielding Umbrella gladly, and in return, Shu'er accepted the umbrella willingly. Now he would not ask for the Sky-Shielding Umbrella back in front of all the lords of the Immortal Realm, and gain a reputation of being dishonest and treacherous. 

 "Your Majesty." Gu Jin raised his head with a calm look in his eyes, "After the battle between the two clans a few months ago, Your Majesty and the Eagle King agreed on a ten-year truce, right?" 

Hearing Gu Jin's words, everyone couldn't help but be startled. They originally thought that Immortal Lord Gu Jin was young and energetic, and might take back the Sky-Shielding Umbrella out of anger, but why did he ask about the truce between the two clans? 

Yan Shuang on the side was also startled, a little confused, and looked towards A Yin. 

A Yin was looking at Gu Jin thoughtfully. With her senior brother's character, he would not take back the Sky-Shielding Umbrella. She thought... he had to make up for the wrong things he had done no matter what. 

"Yes, Yan Qiu was defeated and a truce was agreed with our clan for ten years. Within ten years, our two clans will not invade each other or start a war." Hua Mo nodded. 

Gu Jin nodded slightly and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the estrangement between the immortal clans will harm the family relationship. I believes that the ten-year truce period should be changed to a hundred years. Within a hundred years, the two clans will temporarily rest..." He paused and looked at Lan Feng amid the surprised gazes of the immortals, "What do you think of this proposal, Lord Lan Feng?"

It was only at that point that everyone realized what Gu Jin had just asked. Hua Shu is almost to the peak of the Supreme Lord, having already refined the Sky-Shielding Umbrella. She might even turn into a demigod. Even after ten years of training, the Eagle King might not be able to recover to his previous level of skill due to his severe injuries. Indeed, there is intense animosity between the two clans. Afterwards, Bainiao Island plans to start a war. By that time, there won't be any Eagle clan members standing in Hua Shu's way, and the clan might even face extinction. 

The two clans are at odds with one another. The only other Clan that is not involved in world affairs is the North Sea Dragon King, followed by the Peacock and Eagle Clans. Other immortal sects cannot afford to get involved in the conflict between the two clans. Helping when anything goes wrong is challenging.
