Chapter 1346

Over these last days Fang Yuan has been productive: he sells off his largest batch of regretful spiders and finishes modifying vajra shell. Having reached dark path grandmaster, he also designs a new immortal killer move, extended dark concealment, built around rank six dark limit Immortal Gu and rank seven perseverance Immortal Gu. Several hundred mortal Gu greatly lengthen the dark limit Immortal Gu’s effect within the move. His resource worries ease for now. ^{ch. 1346}

Qiao Si Liu arrives with worse news. While Yao, Hou and Yang clans strip Wu clan’s territory, Ba clan and Xia clan move on Qiao clan at the same time. After Qiao Zhi Cai went missing, Qiao clan pulled its Gu Immortals back to defend its base, leaving Ba clan free to annex wedding dress lake and Xia clan to annex empty origin pit. Both resources are worth more than blood tide pit. Because Qiao clan and Wu clan are allied, this brings the total to five super forces attacking Wu clan. ^{ch. 1346}

Fang Yuan decides to act: he will have Wu Qiao bring an Immortal Gu House to escort him and Qiao Si Liu back. He tells her to gather Qiao clan’s Gu Immortals and leave together, giving up the super Gu formation site temporarily and taking its Immortal Gu with them, since Gu Immortals with ill intent would otherwise forcibly refine or destroy them. He means to salvage some of that Immortal Gu himself, using a formation path attainment that has secretly reached grandmaster, comparable to Chi Shang, though Qiao Si Liu, still thinking of his older reputation, underestimates it. Qiao clan’s Qiao Bo works out for himself that an escorting Immortal Gu House will take four to five days to arrive, and decides to run one last big round of the immortal opportunity business before they leave. He breaks the usual one-guest rule to bring in three outside cultivators at once, among them Fairy Miao Yin, one of Southern Border’s three great fairies. She has always refused to sell her dream path materials to any super force. ^{ch. 1346}

Separately, Lady White Rabbit asks Wu An for one more meeting with Wu Yi Hai. She wants to see him before the withdrawal. Wu An privately judges that Fang Yuan sees her only as a tool, and pities her for it, but agrees she may wait until Fang Yuan finishes his closed door cultivation. In seclusion, Fang Yuan studies the rank seven precaution Immortal Gu, one of two he took on joining Wu clan, whose defense is slow to activate when used alone but incredible once it does. He has finished designing the killer move that fuses precaution Immortal Gu into vajra shell, and only needs to test it now. ^{ch. 1346}
