Chapter 1772

Chi Qu You races to Wind Flame Mountain and finds half its formation destroyed. Fang Yuan is uprooting the sunset parasol trees and stealing the birds of the forest, fire phoenixes included, with incredible efficiency. The rank seven defender, extremely agitated and overcome with tears, greets Chi Qu You as first supreme elder. Fang Yuan stops. Chi Qu You declares that retribution has come, furious because the looting costs Chi clan even more than in the previous life. ^{ch. 1772}

Fang Yuan activates yama battlefield, and Chi Qu You lets it envelop him. A huge yellow-brown lump covers both men and shrinks to a tiny spot that vanishes entirely without a trace. Chi Qu You praises an amazing soul path battlefield and stays very much at ease, though inwardly wary. In the previous life Fang Yuan trapped Feng Jiu Ge with it, Fairy Zi Wei broke it, and after Lang Ya she published how to break it. Unlike the previous life, the move has not been exposed, since Fang Yuan used it only on Meng Tu, Sleeping Lady and the diamond head turtle, killed or captured, and used the super formation space against Feng Jiu Ge. Fang Yuan does not intend to kill Chi Qu You, so information about yama battlefield will definitely spread. ^{ch. 1772}

Asked why he does not retaliate and looks ready to talk, Chi Qu You tells Fang Yuan to stop pretending. He says the plundering was meant to win his attention, because Fang Yuan killed none of Chi clan’s Gu Immortals and left the foundations of the looted resource points untouched. The attacks on Wind Flame Mountain and ragged cave split him from Great Space Temple, so Fang Yuan could talk, and he asks what Fang Yuan wants. His anger was an act, as he had guessed the intention beforehand. ^{ch. 1772}

His analysis is mostly right. Great Space Temple is a space path Immortal Gu House that counters immortal battlefields, so the best way to talk was luring Chi Qu You out alone. Chi Qu You is wrong on one point: Fang Yuan left the foundations because he had no way to take them. ^{ch. 1772}

Fang Yuan claps and tosses Chi Qu You an information path mortal Gu. It holds the details of Chi clan’s defensive formations, with Fang Yuan’s methods of breaking them, including Wind Flame Mountain’s. Fang Yuan could have destroyed that formation and taken everything inside but did not, showing sincerity and shocking formation path attainment. The latter part of the Gu stresses that Chi Qu You has no successor, and its very detailed contents give him a chill. Chi Qu You is deeply shocked and concludes that someone in Southern Border is secretly helping Fang Yuan. He suspects Yang clan and thinks the vicious righteous path clans are using Fang Yuan as a sharp blade, with no traitor in Chi clan. ^{ch. 1772}

Fang Yuan laughs secretly, and in truth no clan is helping him. He took the information from the Southern Border immortals he captured in the previous life, and he captured them thanks to dream realms that Chi Qu You had provided. Chi Qu You’s expression turns very ugly, with an intense air of tragedy, and he was done in by himself without sensing it. ^{ch. 1772}

Fang Yuan says the force that supplied this information underestimates both of them. Chi Qu You thinks Fang Yuan seems to dislike being made use of, and unknowingly hates him less. Fang Yuan asks whether he now believes in his sincerity. Chi Qu You, pained by Chi clan’s losses, sneers and asks whether he should thank Fang Yuan for holding back. Fang Yuan smiles. ^{ch. 1772}
