Chapter 1378

Trapped by the dream realms, Bay Pavilion begins to break apart, and Yi clan’s Gu Immortals lose control of many of its Gu worms. Even the rank nine Heaven Overseeing Tower had been corroded the same way before, so the rank seven house stands no chance. Yi clan activates the house’s strongest method, Boundless Sea and Sky. Its dazzling blue light cannot pierce the dream realms, but the move still triggers. Bay Pavilion vanishes and reappears seventy thousand li away, in ruins and out of the battlefield. Shaken but relieved, Yi clan realizes Shadow Sect’s members already escaped on the eagle. ^{ch. 1378}

Yi clan’s rank seven Immortal Gu House should have given it a slight edge over Fang Yuan’s motley group, and they activated water life resurrection to drag the fight out until reinforcements from other super forces arrived. Nobody expected him to sacrifice two of his own Pure Dream Reality Seeker allies as living bombs, and this completely caught Yi clan off guard. Fang Yuan’s ancient sword dragon form, stacking sword path dao marks with Sword Escape, produced a burst of speed that left them no chance to react. Yi clan’s leader orders Bay Pavilion repaired, noting the Immortal Gu took no damage and spare mortal Gu can restore it within minutes, then reports to Wu Yong and the other righteous path immortals that his group could not resist the dream realms. The other immortals mock Yi clan for losing despite its Immortal Gu House. Word of the ancient sword dragon transformation move raises suspicion of Liu Guan Yi, a demonic path cultivator of that same technique. His known hostility to Shadow Sect and his Northern Plains origin leave the match uncertain. ^{ch. 1378}

Wu Yong declares he must find his missing brother, Wu Yi Hai, and calls for volunteers to give chase. Many answer, drawn by his rising reputation after revealing Wu clan’s fourth Immortal Gu House, Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, and by Wu clan’s standing as Southern Border’s foremost power. He has reasons of his own. He must be seen doing his utmost for his brother, and he must uphold the righteous path’s leadership as its head. More importantly, Wu clan lent Wu Yi Hai six Immortal Gu, among them a bloodline Immortal Gu that Wu Yong approved himself, along with a hundred thousand immortal essence stones he initiated, making the disappearance his responsibility. He orders supreme elder Wu Fa to assemble the life location searching Gu formation with Wu Yi Hai’s life tablet Gu and soul lantern Gu to deduce his location. ^{ch. 1378}

Wu Yong gathers battle information and finds that Heavenly Court plundered many of Southern Border’s Immortal Gu without attacking its Gu Immortals, and though Southern Border will want to settle that score, saving Wu Yi Hai comes first for him now. Pursuing the weaker Shadow Sect for his brother, whose life tablet remains unshattered, takes priority over confronting Heavenly Court. He considers that Shadow Sect may already have killed Wu Yi Hai using information path methods that fake a false image of continued life, meant to lure the righteous path into a trap. He decides to give chase anyway, confident that his combined force, rank eight Gu Immortal Chi Qu You and several Immortal Gu Houses, can overwhelm any ambush. No scheme could matter against such overwhelming strength. Meanwhile, on the fleeing eagle, Fang Yuan activates Perceivable Dao and finds many information path dao marks on his body, judging he has probably been struck by an information path killer move. He concludes Heavenly Court’s Fairy Zi Wei is the more likely source, rather than Southern Border’s righteous path, and resolves to reach Plunder Shadow Earth Trench to resolve the killer move. ^{ch. 1378}
