Imprisoning the Hostages
The Southern Border immortals reason that many of the year beasts are likely immemorial and that Fang Yuan, as Shadow Sect’s heir, can build a formation to trap their clansmen. Chi Qu You is puzzled that Xia Cha and Lu Wei Yin did not sense it at the very start. Concealing a time path formation to that degree is extremely difficult. He has never heard of one hidden from two rank eight Gu Immortals. The small dream realm left on the battlefield then dissipates and reveals Lu Wei Yin, asleep with his arms crossed, who soon wakes. ch. 1605
Wu Yong proposes verifying Lu Wei Yin first, since Fang Yuan has familiar face and can quickly escape dream realms, and Chi Qu You moves behind Lu Wei Yin to trap him. Lu Wei Yin agrees, and inspections confirm he is no disguise. He tells them what happened, and they fall into ashen silence. He is ashamed to have only watched, and says that without special methods protecting him in dream realms he might also have fallen into Fang Yuan’s hands. Wu Yong calls for a return and enters Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building, and the group departs. Jun Shen Guang then arrives, finds the formation extremely mysterious, purely time path yet hidden from Xia Cha and Lu Wei Yin, sees no other clues and leaves. ch. 1605
In Mini Green Heaven, a castle-like formation lets out silver radiance, and Fang Yuan’s time path clone and Shadow Sect immortals surround it. Inside, Shang Hu Zhang, Tie Qu Zhong, Yang Ku and other rank seven experts lie locked up with their eyes closed in dream realms. The rank eight Xia Cha, the strongest captive, is wrapped in an extremely dense dream realm. A soul taken out of a dream realm stays trapped in the dream for a time, which is how Fang Yuan captured them. Old killer moves have no effect on dream realms. ch. 1605
Fang Yuan uses the killer move pure dream reality seeker transformation to turn dream realms in his aperture into Pure Dream Reality Seeker Physique bodies. These dream path clones enter the dream realms, take the Gu Immortals out and lock them inside. He also turns the dream realms left where he fought into such bodies and retrieves them, then clears every clue before leaving. The clone judges imprisoning the captives a huge risk, since a waking captive would be a great loss, so he will take their Gu worms and resources and then separate souls from bodies. A body sent for Lu Wei Yin loses its way. Lu Wei Yin holds at least two dream path methods, and once ambushed Fang Yuan with one that sent him through three lifetimes. Fang Yuan, who has only three dream path methods himself, switch soul in dream, lead soul into dream and unravel dream, gives up capturing him, fearing that Lu Wei Yin, once awake inside the aperture, could never be expelled. ch. 1605
Fairy Miao Yin sighs that high and mighty immortals of Southern Border’s righteous path have become prisoners. She mourns Lady White Rabbit, whose Black Tigress true inheritance could turn her into Black Tigress at rank seven in mortal danger, yet who died at once to Xia Cha’s Summer Fan before she could react. Fang Yuan is powerless to save her, for Man as Before is only a rank six Immortal Gu. Even his main body is heavily injured. Bai Ning Bing alone is uninjured. She turned into Bai Xiang, which regenerates from a fragment. ch. 1605
She notes that even Bai Xiang would leave her trapped in a dream realm, yet Fang Yuan, who has methods to resolve the alliance agreement binding him, has not dealt with her, and she feels huge pressure. The clone lends Gu worms to Ying Wu Xie and leaves him to guard the place for the next few days, casting lead soul into dream through a Physique body if anything abnormal occurs. The clone also orders the Formation Spirit to report at once if the dream realm moves and endangers the formation. Both accept, and Fang Yuan eases slightly. ch. 1605
