Chapter 1417

Ying Wu Xie, using Fairy Cui Bo’s body, tells Dancer Hong Yun and Thousand Transformations’ will a cover story. Heavenly Court’s Gu Immortals met Fairy Cui Bo as she searched for Western Desert Zombie Alliance’s inheritance, and she lost most of her Gu worms before Liu Guan Yi’s group saved her and fled the same pursuit. Feng Jiu Ge’s real appearance during that escape lends the account credibility. The truth is different. Fang Yuan’s group had captured the real Fairy Cui Bo earlier and drawn most of what she knew about Thousand Transformations Ancestor from her soul before building the story. The real Fairy Cui Bo had already detonated all her Gu worms before Bai Ning Bing captured her, which explains why Ying Wu Xie now has no Immortal Gu to show. ^{ch. 1417}

Dancer Hong Yun is shocked at the danger described, and Hei Lou Lan wonders when Ying Wu Xie gained such acting skill. Fang Yuan alone is not surprised. He had lent Ying Wu Xie the rank eight attitude Gu that makes the performance flawless. Fang Yuan then claims credit for saving Fairy Cui Bo and addresses Thousand Transformations’ will as an equal, since Liu Guan Yi’s fame carries against a will even if it would not against the ancestor himself. He is in truth the cause of the real Fairy Cui Bo’s death, yet acts as her benefactor, and Thousand Transformations’ will does not contest it. ^{ch. 1417}

Fang Yuan proposes an alliance against their shared enemy, Heavenly Court, offering to slow Thousand Transformations Ancestor’s tribulations with a time path method. He notes that the Reckless Savage Demon Venerable true inheritance already makes Thousand Transformations Ancestor a target, just as Reverse Flow River has drawn Heavenly Court’s pursuit onto Fang Yuan himself. He also claims Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s luck path true inheritance, holding Ma Hong Yun’s portion of all living beings luck after killing him. Dancer Hong Yun is greatly moved and Ying Wu Xie presses for the alliance too, but Thousand Transformations’ will stays wary and refuses full commitment. He names Fang Yuan’s plan to use him against Heavenly Court, and agrees only to cooperate gradually while judging his sincerity. Fang Yuan answers that sincerity goes both ways, names the rescue of Fairy Cui Bo as theirs, and asks for his in return. Thousand Transformations’ will agrees to start by trading for what Fang Yuan needs. ^{ch. 1417}
