Chapter 1355

At Yi Tian Mountain, the Immortal Gu House Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building has trapped the Seven Illusions Demon Immortal, who surrenders as the purple blood river formation nears collapse. Victory is assured. Wu Yong strips away the rainbow light hiding his identity and exposes Yao clan Gu Immortal Yao Geng, alive after all. Yao clan had long believed him dead, since his life tablet Gu shattered during his fight with Wu Yi Ran over Stunning Immortal’s inheritance. Yao Geng insists he acted alone, not for his clan, compelled by an information path alliance agreement tied to the Seven Illusions true inheritance. Tie Mian Shen says Tie clan analysed the inheritance and concluded it was a trap, and that Yao Geng is the first inheritor they know of forced to carry the agreement out. Yao Geng adds that he knows no more about the rank eight mastermind than his captors do, and that the man had left the formation long before Yao Geng himself was caught. ^{ch. 1355}

Wu Yong suppresses Yao Geng inside the bamboo building, then unleashes it against the purple blood river formation and destroys it completely. Freed, the three Gu Immortals realize many days have passed, since the formation carried wisdom, blood, phantom, information and time path effects that distorted their sense of time and cut them off from treasure yellow heaven and their clans. Even Wu Yong was fooled. He now judges that the rank eight enemy never meant to fight them to the death and only wanted them trapped, and he wonders what the real motive behind it was. ^{ch. 1355}

Catching up on news, the three learn that Wu, Yang, Qiao, Chi, Chai, Xia, Ba and other clans have fallen into chaotic fighting. Purple Mountain True Monarch faked Wu Yong’s death to sow chaos in Southern Border. The super Gu formation at Yi Tian Mountain is now under mass assault, and the flood of distress letters reaching the clans throws them into panic. The shrewder among them piece the recent events into one vast scheme whose mastermind is after the giant dream realm. Wu Yong leads them back in the rank eight Immortal Gu House, voicing worry for his brother even here to keep his reputation up, and Qiao Zhi Cai praises him for it. Chi, Yang, Hou, Yao and Shang clans send experts or Immortal Gu Houses of their own, none knowing that Spectral Soul’s main body is the true reason, a fact Heavenly Court has kept hidden. On the way, Wu Yong says the enemy chose its pawns so well that it reached a rank seven of a righteous path super force, and Tie Mian Shen finishes the thought by naming the fear of an insider inside the super Gu formation. ^{ch. 1355}

Back at the super Gu formation, Ba Quan Feng strikes Chi Gui from behind at the crucial moment of activating the second layer. Ba De attacks in rage and suppresses him, then rushes to Chi Gui, who lies heavily injured, his face purple gold and blood flowing from his seven orifices. Ba Quan Feng also destroys the newly added earth path Immortal Gu, and the failed activation’s backlash leaves Chi Gui near death. Ba Quan Feng tells Ba De to surrender because Ba De does not know what the enemy truly is, but Ba De pulls the traitor back from the brink of death and promises him a clan judgment worse than dying. Without the second layer, the righteous path is bound to lose. ^{ch. 1355}
