Chapter 1421

Backed by Heavenly Court’s information, Feng Jiu Ge counts five Shadow Sect targets besides Fang Yuan. Bai Ning Bing has the fiercest offense and may inherit Bai Xiang’s true inheritance, Hei Lou Lan is the lowest at rank six but carries the Great Strength True Martial Physique, and Black Tigress, mostly healed, is hunting for a chance to strike back. Ying Wu Xie, wearing Fairy Cui Bo’s body, remains unrecognized and draws his suspicion, while Fairy Miao Yin has already shown wondrous hand profound sound and shares his own sound path. Fang Yuan’s reverse flow protection seal cannot be countered directly. Reverse Flow River is a secluded domain of heaven and earth on par with rank nine Immortal Gu, so until Heavenly Court deduces a way to unravel the seal, even Duke Long can do nothing. The seal ties Fang Yuan to one stance, so Feng Jiu Ge chooses to target the rest instead of fighting Fang Yuan himself. Both sides see the strategy coming, and the Shadow Sect immortals guess at who he will strike without settling on an answer before he moves. ^{ch. 1421}

Feng Jiu Ge jumps to the center of the battlefield, and his yang pass tune changes aura without fading. He calls out green jade song, and this time reverse flow protection seal cannot reflect its power, which the move fully collects and preserves. A green jade song warrior emerges from his body. Fang Yuan recognizes it from his previous life as song warrior, a method that Feng Jiu Ge created after realizing his nine signature songs could only be used one at a time, splitting them into flexible temporary clones instead. He reads it as a variation of yang pass tune, close to his own myriad self and strength path giant hand. He notes it appearing far earlier than in his previous life, and wonders whether that owes to Shadow Sect’s success stalling the great era then or to Heavenly Court’s help. The green jade song warrior does not attack Fang Yuan; it goes after Ying Wu Xie, who retreats rather than fight it head on. ^{ch. 1421}

Feng Jiu Ge teleports away again with yang pass tune and activates heaven and earth song, whose warrior attacks Bai Ning Bing. The Shadow Sect immortals realize his real target is everyone except Fang Yuan, tying up allies one at a time while Fang Yuan’s own weak offense cannot force the issue. Submission song and separation song follow, and Feng Jiu Ge fields four song warriors. The tactic fits this chase because he need not catch the far faster Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building or strike a River of Time tributary, and he has left them no time to raise an immortal Gu formation. Hei Lou Lan’s angry bird hits the green jade song warrior and turns to shattering jade birds. Bai Ning Bing’s penetrating ice blade strikes the submission song warrior, but the separation song warrior intercepts and shatters the blade, since separation song can separate anything, including immortal killer moves. The heaven and earth song warrior fights Ying Wu Xie and Fairy Miao Yin to a standstill, and running all four clones at once shows Feng Jiu Ge’s enslavement path mastery deeper than Fang Yuan’s own. ^{ch. 1421}

By his previous-life count, Feng Jiu Ge already holds seven of his intended nine songs, four offensive ones now shown, obtain treasure and towards heaven for cultivation only, and one unaccounted for. That last song is hard to control, and a failed attempt would almost kill Feng Jiu Ge, but Fang Yuan fears the severe losses a successful one would cost his side. Fang Yuan judges his own offense too weak to press any advantage. The anti-sound desert already suppresses Feng Jiu Ge, and Fairy Miao Yin with him, so Fang Yuan decides to take the risk before the chance is gone. He drops reverse flow protection seal and activates ancient sword dragon transformation, then combines it with myriad self in the combination move myriad dragon, producing a sea of silver-scaled sword dragons. Ying Wu Xie recognizes it as the move that Fang Yuan once used to destroy their old sect’s immortal Gu formation in Eastern Sea. Bai Ning Bing reacts with reliance, and even Feng Jiu Ge is greatly moved as the wave of dragons submerges all four song warriors and Feng Jiu Ge himself. ^{ch. 1421}
