Chapter 339

Fairy Bi Xia, avoiding Wei Wu Shang’s gaze, greets him as Sir Wei and says Fang Zheng has kept her safe. She introduces Fang Zheng as an Immortal Crane Sect elite disciple whose ten thousand cranes brought them to Tian Ti mountain quickly. Wei Wu Shang, extremely angry, scoffs at the cranes. He asks Fang Zheng to spar. ^{ch. 339}

Lord Sky Crane laughs inside Fang Zheng that saving Bi Xia has brought him enemies, since this great beauty now likes him, and that Wei Wu Shang is the first. Fang Zheng thinks of Shen Cui, his former servant, a very ordinary mortal girl who held an extraordinary cuteness in his heart. She is already dead. His goal remains to defeat his brother and avenge his ancestors, his uncle and aunt, Shen Cui, the clan leader and Qing Shu. ^{ch. 339}

Fang Zheng has heard that Wei Wu Shang, a healing Gu Master and strong A grade aptitude genius of Heaven’s Envy Sect, often leaves battle unscathed. He objects that even a win would leave him below his peak for the Gu Immortal inheritance. Lord Sky Crane replies that the Hu Immortal inheritance tests willpower and determination rather than battle strength, that his own soul will help in secret, and that reputation can outweigh strength. Fang Zheng agrees to the spar. ^{ch. 339}

Wei Wu Shang, leader of the elite disciples Heaven’s Envy Sect sent this time, holds a trump card. He activates Gu worms in his body, vanishes, and tears space apart to appear before Fang Zheng. Lord Sky Crane, shocked, names it space piercing Gu. An intense battle unfolds. ^{ch. 339}

At the same time, in a cave on San Cha mountain, the Ten Tyrants tell their leader Tyrant Heng Mei that Hu Mei Er used them to test the Black and White Demons. The second brother demands vengeance for the injured seventh and tenth brothers, but Tyrant Heng Mei slaps him. He says this is San Cha mountain, not Nan mountain, and that Kong Ri Tian, Long Qing Tian, Wu Shen Tong and Yi Chong could kill them like ants. Rank three as they are, he says, they can stay here chiefly because of him. He forbids trouble with Hu Mei Er, who seduces men to their death, has a wide network, and is involved with Lin San Chi and rumored with Li Xian and even Mo Wu Tian, all rank four Gu Masters. The nine brothers go pale. Lin San Chi is skilled in both the metal and earth paths, and Li Xian, who came from eastern sea, is an unscrupulous merchant famed on the demonic path. ^{ch. 339}

Mo Wu Tian is the scariest, the demonic path’s number one rising star and an absolute young genius, heir to an ancient Gu Immortal’s mysterious inheritance. Tyrant Heng Mei sighs that the three kings inheritance is no small matter, though rank four and five Gu Masters on the mountain restrain each other. He declares that the Ten Tyrants cannot take this lying down and will visit the black and white demons personally. His plan is to show them full respect, propose working together against Hu Mei Er, and use the young pair as vanguard. The brothers praise the plan, and he laughs and calls them along. ^{ch. 339}

Fang Yuan and Bai Ning Bing look up at San Cha mountain, which rises into three hills like a fork with three tips. The entrances to the three kings inheritance sit above the three peaks, and Gu Masters who fail the tests are thrown out. Many die inside each time. With about eight days until the next opening, Fang Yuan heads for a cave in the middle of the mountain waist. ^{ch. 339}
