Chapter 1534

Water pillars reduce the Gu Masters they hit to mushy flesh, and the rest stop fighting and try to leave. The pillars gather into an ancient water monster that pounces at the mortals, thinking they interrupted its sleep. The three Gu Immortals above the clouds shield their clansmen with shields of light. Hou Yao states that smoky warm jade field has an underground frost heart lake where this monster slept. Shang Qing Qing asks Tie Mian Shen, the only rank seven, to lead against it, and he nods. ^{ch. 1534}

A sharp eagle cry sounds, and the tiny eagle beside Ye Fan swells into the huge upper extreme heavenly eagle, which pounces at the monster. Gu Immortal Lu Wei Yin rescued it and restrains it so that it must stay with Ye Fan, but his restraints weaken greatly when Ye Fan meets danger. The monster backs off at the eagle’s imposing aura and flows away as water. With Ye Fan safe again, the eagle’s seal activates and a formless force returns it, tiny, to him. ^{ch. 1534}

Xiao Die asks what the eagle is, and Ye Fan answers that this is his first time seeing its power. Yi Yu thinks the eagle, an immemorial desolate beast, can kill the three immortals for them, but Yi Nan Men says it is the pet of the young man who was fighting. Tie Mian Shen questions Shang Qing Qing, who says she is not sure and that it must be the young man’s fortuitous encounter. Tie Mian Shen declares the matter too important for the field to matter, judges that the young man must have obtained an immortal true inheritance, and will investigate to prevent the demonic path rising again. Furious but helpless, Shang Qing Qing says he will uphold justice. ^{ch. 1534}

Ye Fan says his master captured the eagle, unwilling to lie to Shang Xin Ci, and Xiao Die screeches while Shang Xin Ci concludes that his master is likely a powerful Gu Immortal. Then the eagle shows great fright, shrieking in one direction. A figure flying like a sword cuts the white clouds in two, and the Gu Masters cry out that it is an immortal. The Gu Immortal stops in the air in a white robe, handsome as a peerless beauty, with an extremely intense dominating aura. In pure silence, the mortals hear him say in a plain tone that the eagle is his bird and that it is here. ^{ch. 1534}
