Chapter 1395

Fang Yuan identifies the formation’s two core Immortal Gu, rank seven rule path Fight, his biggest gain, and rank six earth path Yellow Sand, and refines Fight for himself as Shadow Sect’s leader. Once he gathers the Gu worms, the defensive formation collapses. Inside the treasury he finds cold moon divine bravery, a priceless rank seven immortal material so scarce even rank eight Gu Immortals hold little of it, and phosphorescent wood, a rank six material present in the greatest quantity after countless years of accumulation. He reflects that this is the last of Shadow Sect’s Zombie Alliance inheritance, since Ying Wu Xie and his group have already used up the Central Continent, Northern Plains and Southern Border branches, and Eastern Sea Gu Immortals now control the Eastern Sea branch. Only Western Desert’s wild-Immortal-Gu spawn points remain his interest here. ^{ch. 1395}

Bai Ning Bing returns holding Fairy Cui Bo captive and frozen, pleasing Fang Yuan and Fairy Miao Yin. Though only rank six in cultivation, her battle strength truly reaches rank seven, boosted by the Northern Dark Ice Soul Physique complementing Bai Xiang’s true inheritance. She had earlier killed two of three attackers and heavily injured the last in Southern Border, and her strength now ranks second only to Fang Yuan’s. Fang Yuan is in no rush to annex Fairy Cui Bo’s immortal aperture, since this place holds earth qi and no heaven qi, he is not hungry yet, and her link to the rank eight Thousand Transformations Ancestor could blunt heaven’s will’s schemes. He has Bai Ning Bing keep her captive inside her own aperture. Bai Ning Bing agrees, unable to turn back now that Heavenly Court and Southern Border both pursue her and she needs Shadow Sect to refine her Gu. ^{ch. 1395}

Hei Lou Lan returns bloodied and reports that Three Feather Boy was burned to ashes and his immortal aperture destroyed, and that the battle drew a number of strong Western Desert Gu Immortals whom she avoided fighting before returning at once. As the group prepares to leave, three Western Desert Gu Immortals surround them: Peacock Deity, Beautiful Camel Immortal, whose status matches Qiao Si Liu and Fairy Miao Yin, and Dong Lie Feng of the Dong super clan. They demand a share of the inheritance or threaten to kill the outsiders. Dong Lie Feng calls them a motley crew, since the sovereign immortal body gives Fang Yuan a Western Desert aura while his companions come from Northern Plains and Southern Border. Dong Lie Feng realizes that this rank seven youngster is Liu Guan Yi, because Fang Yuan wears his real appearance now that the investigative killer move makes familiar face pointless, and he flees at once without warning the other two. Beautiful Camel Immortal also realizes that this is Liu Guan Yi, whose face became known across the five regions after the Reverse Flow River battle, and she flees at once, since a man who can rival rank eight experts is beyond her. Peacock Deity senses something amiss without understanding why, and his long experience sends him flying away faster even than Beautiful Camel Immortal, all three fleeing before Fang Yuan does anything. ^{ch. 1395}

Fang Yuan concludes that as long as he stays strong enough, any scheme by heaven’s will fails, since whoever it instigates will let survival instinct take over at the crucial moment. He is already a Gu Immortal expert. Unlike his earlier flight around Southern Border against enemies who were too strong, ordinary rank seven Gu Immortals can no longer face him directly. ^{ch. 1395}
