Chapter 556

Hei Lou Lan, blocked six times by the 54th round, kicks his tribesman Hei Qi Sheng to the ground until he coughs blood. The elders who pleaded for Hei Qi Sheng last time are still bedridden from beatings, so the rest stay silent. Hei Lou Lan demands a method to break the round. His gaze settles on first elder Hei Pei, who steps out and bows, saying the round is very difficult and needs master level enslavement attainment. Hei Qi Sheng is an enslavement path Gu Master the tribe nurtured but not a master, so Wolf King’s strength is needed. ^{ch. 556}

Hei Lou Lan rages at the thought of outside help shaming the Hei tribe. Hei Pei bows deeply and answers that Wolf King Chang Shan Yin is part of the alliance army and Hei Lou Lan’s subordinate, and that entering True Yang Building is Chang Shan Yin’s greatest honor. Hei Lou Lan softens. He holds two guest tokens from the 12th and 46th rounds, but by the rules the reward for clearing the 54th round goes to the reinforcement. Forcing Hei Qi Sheng is pointless, because one of the tribe’s three enslavement path Gu Masters died in the Imperial Court contest and Hei Qi Sheng is the stronger of the two left. ^{ch. 556}

Hei Lou Lan orders his attendant Hei Shu to invite Wolf King, then kicks Hei Qi Sheng again and sends him off to nurse his injuries. Hei Shu returns saying Wolf King is out feeding his wolves. Hei Pei accuses him of failing at his job, but Hei Shu has already sent a letter. Wolf King replied that he is hunting with his wolves, will not cut the habit short, and the tribe can wait or call Tang Miao Ming and the others. Hei Shu proves it with the star letter Gu that Wolf King sent back, a rank four star path Gu. Hei Pei calls Wolf King an arrogant loner putting up a front. Hei Lou Lan retorts that of course Wolf King is haughty, being an enslavement master and a flying master. ^{ch. 556}

Fang Yuan’s attention is really not on True Yang Building. Looking at Di Qiu below him, he sees a pitch black hole where a small tower should stand directly above it. Small towers stand at every eight li across Imperial Court blessed land, all part of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, an Immortal Gu house Long Hair Ancestor refined as high as rank eight. Giant Sun Immortal Venerable later prepared it as a mirror of northern plains, and each tower holds thousands of wild Gu that kill anyone who targets them. Only a Gu Immortal could have moved the tower above Di Qiu and set an inheritance there. So the inheritance Fang Yuan obtained by accident is a Gu Immortal inheritance, and he calls its maker Gu Immortal Di Qiu for now. ^{ch. 556}

He wonders whether it holds an Immortal Gu, which even a True Yang Building floor’s final round may not grant, and expects at least an Immortal Gu recipe, a huge reward. A complete one is not sold in treasure yellow heaven and can only be exchanged. He dates the inheritance to a very long time ago, at least since Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable’s time. A star letter Gu from Hei Lou Lan urges Fang Yuan back. He decides to enter True Yang Building first, hoping to find clues there, and returns at once. ^{ch. 556}

Hei Lou Lan laughs that he must rely on Wolf King this time, but he is very anxious. Once the ten year blizzard outside subsides, the blessed land closes. Before then he must complete the mission from his tribe’s Gu Immortals and find a strength path Immortal Gu for himself. ^{ch. 556}

At the building, Hei Lou Lan hands Fang Yuan an ancient guest token, explaining that Wolf King lacks Huang Jin bloodline and needs one each time as an outsider. Fang Yuan laughs lightly and says he cannot wait to witness the splendor of True Yang Building. Hei Lou Lan crashes into the door, and Fang Yuan imitates him as the guest token shines in his hand. Both enter True Yang Building. ^{ch. 556}
