Chapter 1629

According to Jun Shen Guang’s information, the Four Xunzi are all rank seven and share a combination technique with extraordinary power, enough to contest rank eight Gu Immortals. Only that one move lets them fight a rank eight, who would definitely win after a few rounds. Spirit Butterfly Valley keeps them hidden and was forced to comply when Heavenly Court wanted arrangements in the River of Time. They are the best candidates to control Present and Past Pavilion. ^{ch. 1629}

Fang Yuan frowns slightly, but neither the Four Xunzi nor the pavilion surprises him. Time path rank eights are very rare, and Heavenly Court’s Lord Huang Shi died in the river after Fang Yuan made use of the stone lotus island. What concerns him more is Eternal Yacht, a second time path Immortal Gu House that would come to help if the Four Xunzi delay him long enough. Facing two enemies at once would be disadvantageous. He has only one incomplete Immortal Gu House and very weak followers. ^{ch. 1629}

He opens his immortal aperture’s entrance and releases a second batch of immemorial year beasts. Southern Border’s righteous path injured or killed the first batch, which he could not retrieve. The second totals nine, from Xia Cha’s year essence pool and months of luring beasts with the immemorial year beast fishing formation. He lacks all twelve types for the ancient battle formation. Five of the nine are chickens. ^{ch. 1629}

The nine charge, and the Four Xunzi activate the pavilion together. Its waves cannot stop beasts that belong to the River of Time. Then the folding screen turns to green fog that slows them as if in a marsh. Waves rise to thirty meters, spirals form to restrain the beasts, and their formation breaks into separate battles. The pavilion controls the situation, and the Four Xunzi relax. Xun Guo Zi calls Fang Yuan no threat with his beasts scattered. Xia Xunzi admits the pavilion is no match for him, but says stalling until Eternal Yacht arrives will win. ^{ch. 1629}

The immemorial year monkey nearest the pavilion leaps and uses the rank eight immortal killer move summer fan, collapsing the waves before it. The Four Xunzi realize it is Fang Yuan in disguise, and wonder how he deceived the investigative killer move from Lady Zi Wei. Using every moment of the past months, he had modified familiar face. His monkey fists cannot move the pavilion, anchored in the River of Time, so he uses spring scissors, which cut away a corner of the roof in five or six snips. ^{ch. 1629}

As a monkey, his transformation path dao marks turn into time path dao marks, adding fifty thousand to over seventy thousand for over a hundred and twenty thousand. That amplifies any time path killer move a hundred and twenty times, his two moves force the pavilion back repeatedly, and the monkey body endures the Four Xunzi’s attacks. Eternal Yacht approaches with nervous Gu Immortals, but Fang Yuan snickers that it is too late. Tornadoes from summer fan shake the pavilion, spring scissors snips again, and a pillar breaks. He jumps above it and stomps, breaking it into pieces and kicking the Four Xunzi, dead or injured, into the river. He leaves with the incomplete Immortal Gu House. Eternal Yacht arrives too late, and its Gu Immortals hesitate between saving the Four Xunzi and chasing him. ^{ch. 1629}
