Chapter 1699

At Unification Sect, a packed sign up location, the middle aged refinement path master Luo Sheng sighs deeply, grateful for a second chance. He lost the previous Refinement Path Convention to an accident, and the ten great ancient sects now hold it again after only ten years. He wants to prove himself and make his wife and children proud. A huge ancient year beast then descends and crushes the hall to ruins. His ambitions vanish, and a young Gu Master with a great future and a genius young girl die on the spot. ^{ch. 1699}

Unification Sect is the fifteenth spot Fang Yuan has attacked, and he moves on. Even Heavenly Court feels heartache. Fairy Zi Wei says Fang Yuan is very vigilant, sending only ancient year beasts and rarely attacking personally, because every attack leaves clues. She needs more of them to locate him. According to Southern Border’s information, he should have used the year essence pool in Xia Cha’s immortal aperture to capture the beasts. Zi Wei is filled with rage that he breaks the tacit consensus among Gu Immortals against attacking mortals. ^{ch. 1699}

Duke Long stays calm and orders Heavenly Court to follow its plan and repair fate Gu whatever the price. Several days later the frightened participants receive accurate proof that Fang Yuan is the culprit and has become a Gu Immortal. Some back out, while others grow determined to go. Central Continent’s Gu Immortals secretly guard many sign up locations. Heavenly Court has countless Gu Masters distribute tokens, so participants disperse and nobody goes to the sign up locations. Fang Yuan’s slaughter becomes very inefficient. More than ten thousand Gu Masters die by his hand, but he cannot stop the convention from starting. ^{ch. 1699}

Once the sign up phase is over, a Central Continent rank eight Gu Immortal pounces on Fang Yuan, who escapes with his killer move. He suspects Central Continent’s Gu Immortals have deduced Fixed Immortal Travel. He lands hundreds of thousands of li away, yet three rank eight Gu Immortals close on him. They say Heavenly Court prepared more than ten investigative killer moves, including people’s accusation, created by Primordial Origin Immortal Venerable. The more he kills, the more mortal hatred people’s accusation gathers to track him. A fourth rank eight Gu Immortal appears above him and traps him in the immortal battlefield killer move Rumor Cage. The four are overjoyed, and Lord Zhou Xiong Xin’s Rumor Cage is hailed as the fastest battlefield killer move to activate, too fast for even Fang Yuan to react. ^{ch. 1699}

Fairy Zi Wei urges Duke Long to act personally, but he refuses, saying repairing fate Gu is what matters. Her expression suddenly changes. Gu Immortal level attacks are striking Central Continent, especially the refinement competition sites, and Gu Immortals are looting even famous resource points. Even Infallible blessed land is attacked, and she cannot believe so many Gu Immortals target them. ^{ch. 1699}
