Chapter 1268

Old Ancestor Xue Hu displays the power of the strongest expert in Northern Plains. After only a few exchanges, Bi Chen Tian admits he is no match for him. Edge Link Camp shakes under Xue Hu’s offense, and Wei Ling Yang, noting that they have two rank eights against one, leaves the house to Bi Chen Tian and slips out toward the snowy peaks, where rule path gives him a huge advantage. Old Ancestor Xue Hu is the stronger of the two, but in moving through the formation he cannot match Wei Ling Yang’s rule path. Xue Hu discovers him partway and traps him in a blizzard. Wei Ling Yang keeps changing direction, and with Bi Chen Tian’s cooperation their pincer attempt draws much of Xue Hu’s attention and makes it hard for him to use his full strength. ^{ch. 1268}

Lady Wan Shou knows that if Xue Hu loses, everything is lost, and fears the unimaginable consequences if a rank eight Gu Immortal reaches the snowy peaks, with the blessed land’s very existence at stake. A message reaches her, greatly shocking her, through a Gu worm she has kept unused since her ascension. Years earlier in a cave, a mysterious Gu Immortal had let her take a true inheritance instead of claiming it himself, on condition that she tell him its contents and repay him with a favor someday. He now offers to help her and Xue Hu force back these Central Continent experts if she first refines a Gu material for him. She agrees. ^{ch. 1268}

Four Gu Immortals arrive, Hei Lou Lan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Bai Ning Bing and Ying Wu Xie, and Lady Wan Shou is more surprised still that their leader is Ying Wu Xie, the weakest of them, a strength path immortal zombie. Hei Lou Lan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng have been hunted alongside Fang Yuan since Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was destroyed, and Hei tribe, blamed for Hei Lou Lan, was besieged by the Huang Jin tribes and then annexed by Bai Zu tribe. Ying Wu Xie asks Lady Wan Shou to refine the purple gold rock already sitting in her immortal aperture, the rock Xue Hu took from Northern Plains Zombie Alliance’s graveyard. She names them members of Shadow Sect. Ying Wu Xie admits it frankly. She says she already tried to refine the rock with no results. Ying Wu Xie answers that it needs his sect’s special procedures, which he will teach her. ^{ch. 1268}

From outside, Snowy Mountain blessed land looks calm, though a fierce battle rages unseen within it. Fang Yuan reaches Snowy Mountain blessed land on an ancient sword dragon, above the clouds. Fang Yuan senses through qi luck sensation that Ying Wu Xie’s group has entered it. He doubts whether this is true or another deception, like the one Ying Wu Xie’s group staged at Eastern Sea. He holds the upper extreme heavenly eagle. Judging it unwise to charge in, he decides to wait and see. ^{ch. 1268}
