Chapter 1269

Wei Ling Yang attacks Old Ancestor Xue Hu with a beam of light, but Xue Hu blocks it with a wall of ice and answers with spiraling ice hatchets that Wei Ling Yang has no method to restrain. Wei Ling Yang retreats into Edge Link Camp, and the hatchets follow, freezing many of its mortal Gu to death. Wei Ling Yang discovers his right hand completely frozen, unsure when it happened. Xue Hu’s methods are endless, and even the ones with little force are sinister enough that nobody can defend effectively. ^{ch. 1269}

Bi Chen Tian worries over the injury, but Wei Ling Yang seals his hand and says it can wait. He is more worried for Myriad Tidal Dragon, who fights Luck Suppression Heavenly Palace and Longevity Heaven with two Immortal Gu Houses, and says they must rescue Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun quickly, rejoin him and withdraw to Central Continent. Central Continent’s two rank eights are elite enough for Heavenly Court, but Xue Hu still holds the upper hand. Bi Chen Tian flies down to distract Xue Hu, intending to destroy the fate reversing sacrificial refinement formation so Edge Link Camp can dive unobstructed and save Zhao Lian Yun and perhaps Ma Hong Yun. Wei Ling Yang stays to control the Immortal Gu House and treat his hand. ^{ch. 1269}

Old Ancestor Xue Hu, having seen through the tactic, calls down enormous hailstones that turn into snow monsters of at least desolate beast level. A blizzard follows, letting the snow monsters soar while badly restricting Bi Chen Tian. Onlookers realize Xue Hu has disassembled his signature battlefield killer move because the Gu formation bars battlefield moves, and judge that he is probably already at great grandmaster level in ice and snow path. Wei Ling Yang then joins Bi Chen Tian. His right hand is completely healed, showing his own very high attainment in healing. Facing two rank eight Gu Immortals and an Immortal Gu House, Xue Hu is stretched thin and loses some control of the battle. He must still protect the fate reversing sacrificial refinement formation, since only a rank eight Gu Immortal can break it. ^{ch. 1269}

Bi Chen Tian and Wei Ling Yang strike at weak points and gain slight initiative, while rank seven Gu Immortals hold Edge Link Camp as a turtle shell that denies Xue Hu a fatal opening for a time. A few of their attacks escape Xue Hu’s block and strike the blessed land, worrying the peak lords who watch. On the first snowy peak, Lady Wan Shou finishes refining the purple gold rock, dissolving its last layer with enshrouding fragrance, one immortal material used on another in a rarely seen method whose essence she recognizes as food path. A dazzling purple light bursts out, and inside it Lady Wan Shou barely makes out a thumb-sized figure with two thin purple wings. She recognizes it as a miniman. The miniman opens his deep purple eyes, and a powerful rank eight aura leaks out, slowing the fierce battle above as Ying Wu Xie’s group bows to Lord Purple with only Bai Ning Bing left standing. He blinks, remarks that he has woken again, and his confusion gives way to a cold, indifferent look. ^{ch. 1269}
