Chapter 1392

Wu Yong, a rank eight righteous path Gu Immortal, retreats from Fang Yuan and Feng Jiu Ge rather than fight to the death, and if news of it spreads he will lose a portion of his reputation. His killer move four clear transforming winds has broken and its backlash has left him heavily injured, but Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building still shields him and lets him fight on. His wounds are not light. The House remains incredibly fast, Fang Yuan’s upper extreme heavenly eagle is no longer under control, and neither man can catch or trap him. Retreating buys him time to heal, to repair the House, and to counter Feng Jiu Ge’s killer move with wind path methods before facing them again at peak condition. Together, Fang Yuan and Feng Jiu Ge still face a huge gap in strength against him, his battle strength having risen immensely with the House, leaving them helpless. ^{ch. 1392}

Feng Jiu Ge tells Fang Yuan to leave first. The favor of Fang Yuan once saving his life is now completely repaid, he says. Feng Jiu Ge adds that if he survives he will pursue Fang Yuan to the ends of the world, and Fang Yuan understands the hunt must happen to prove Feng Jiu Ge’s allegiance and shield his wife and daughter. Fang Yuan agrees they will be enemies at their next meeting, opens the ancient battle formation Omni-directional Travel and vanishes with Hei Lou Lan and the others, while Feng Jiu Ge stays to block Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building. Wu Yong slightly regrets coming alone, since with company he could have taken down both, and though he wants Feng Jiu Ge dead for ruining his plans, the opponent’s immense talent and status leave him a little hesitant. Killing Feng Jiu Ge would make Wu Yong an enemy of Heavenly Court and Central Continent, and Heavenly Court holds the secret that Wu Yi Hai is Fang Yuan, while capturing him alive gives Wu Yong a bargaining chip with Central Continent. ^{ch. 1392}

Feng Jiu Ge uses Separation Song again at range, but it has no offensive power, and Wu Yong, who has already reinforced the House with many Gu worms, puts back whatever it separates out and retreats to repair whenever the damage goes too far. The intense battle continues with Wu Yong gaining the upper hand despite his injuries, and Feng Jiu Ge, unable to close the gap, is steadily suppressed with no chance of victory. Fairy Zi Wei watches the fight through Star Constellation Chessboard, and the meeting with Fang Yuan was planned by Star Constellation heaven’s will and arranged with Heavenly Court’s help, hidden from Feng Jiu Ge, though Heavenly Court does not know the reason. Wu Yong offers to spare Feng Jiu Ge’s life and send him back to Central Continent for Heavenly Court’s judgment if he surrenders. Feng Jiu Ge answers that he will surrender if Wu Yong can take his next move, the seventh song that once made him famous when a rank eight Gu Immortal acknowledged his rank eight battle strength. Wu Yong’s expression freezes slightly. Before Feng Jiu Ge can finish naming it, two rank eight Gu Immortals from Central Continent’s ten great ancient sects appear, surprising Wu Yong. ^{ch. 1392}

The two say they took the Southern Border righteous path’s Immortal Gu earlier only to protect it from the demon, are prepared to return it, and will handle the matter of defending a demon themselves. They demand an oath: Feng Jiu Ge is to hunt Fang Yuan under Heavenly Court’s authority until he kills him. Feng Jiu Ge thinks for a moment, then agrees. ^{ch. 1392}
