Chapter 1588

Fang Yuan is slightly stunned that Yang San Mu actually died, and judges him really unlucky to have the core Immortal Gu of his killer moves stolen twice in a row. Feng Jiu Ge, a Dao Guardian with luck similar to Fang Yuan’s, could not be subdued earlier, but Yang San Mu was a normal person, so great thief ghost hand killed him. Fang Yuan realizes that luck path and theft path are very powerful together, though both his true inheritances are incomplete. Holding the true inheritances of two venerables at once is rare in history. ^{ch. 1588}

Inside the formation, the Southern Border righteous path Gu Immortals grow nervous at seeing Yang San Mu trapped. Chi Qiu urges Xia Fan, the only wisdom path Gu Immortal there, to deduce the immortal battlefield. Xia Fan fears the rumor that he could have done it but refused and watched Yang San Mu die. He cannot deduce it, because the foundation is too deep and seems to have a terrifying origin. Chi Qiu then tells everyone to be quiet, saying he believes Xia Fan will not disappoint them. That forces Xia Fan into a corner. ^{ch. 1588}

Xia Fan, who hates Yang San Mu and is hated in return, turns the situation around. He says that Yang San Mu is most skilled in investigative methods and went out because he is very confident and must know truths they do not. The immortals realize he may have gone to take all the credit and win a redeployment, which every one of them wants. They change their words, and one recalls that Yang San Mu once caught Nian Wang Huai, a devious demonic path Gu Immortal. Another credits Yang San Mu’s report on black heaven turbulence with leading Yang clan to a meteor rain that reportedly yielded three hills worth of star path immortal materials. One says that after Yang San Mu wins he must be inspected in the sub formation, remembering Fang Yuan’s disguise as Wu Yi Hai. Fang Yuan’s name makes the immortals extremely angry. ^{ch. 1588}

Chi Qiu sighs inwardly, since Xia Fan has reversed the trap that Chi Qiu set for him. Xia Fan’s praise hints that Yang San Mu hoarded the credit. If Yang San Mu instead died in a trap, those hiding in the formation would be labeled cowards. Xia Fan knows he cannot unravel the battlefield alone and they must seek help, but first he needs to make some credit. ^{ch. 1588}

Yama battlefield disappears and Fang Yuan reappears alone, with Yang San Mu gone. The immortals are shocked and find it unbelievable that Yang San Mu is likely gone so soon. ^{ch. 1588}

Fang Yuan had wanted to disguise as Yang San Mu and enter the formation, but soul searching him showed Southern Border’s arrangements, so he gave up. The righteous path has strict ways of ascertaining identities, including soul lantern Gu and other identity type Gu. Familiar face is already exposed. Judging that Chi Qu You personally set the formation and that deducing it step by step would take too long, he decides to force his way through. He dispels emperor yama and uses ancient sword dragon transformation, reverse flow protection seal and myriad dragon. The Gu Immortals scream that Fang Yuan is here, unable to conceal their shock and trying hard to hide their fear. ^{ch. 1588}
