The might of overwhelming fortune
Hei Lou Lan reveals his true trump card. It is one of the ten extreme physiques, close to self-detonation, and its shocking battle strength lets him suppress and chase the Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng. Fang Yuan’s plan is ruined, for without Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s victory there is no false emotion fake will Gu to subdue the land spirit. Fang Yuan wonders whether this accident is the power of fortune rivalling heaven, and eyes Ma Hong Yun grimly. For some reason his killing intent intensifies, and he manipulates the treemen rather than going in person. ch. 619
The treemen slam down their fists and shatter Frost Jade Peacock’s barrier. Ma Hong Yun shields Zhao Lian Yun as the closest treeman reaches for them. Fang Yuan mutters for them to die, completely ignoring the rapidly growing black coffin luck above him. A huge tremor shakes Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. A loud voice demands that the scoundrel who chased him out accept death. Tai Bai Yun Sheng turns pale, since with Giant Sun’s will back, the building could definitely trap a Gu Immortal. ch. 619
Through the glass owner token, Fang Yuan sees the colossal Giant Sun’s will still outside, trying to barge in, and he is very perplexed about the one inside. The treemen freeze, and the token turns hot and cracks. The new will easily finds the central continent Gu Immortals’ extremely hidden third arrangement, and if the token breaks, the outside will can enter and leave freely and could easily kill Fang Yuan. ch. 619
Fang Yuan rejects Spring Autumn Cicada as too risky and sends his will into the token. It clashes with the new will and is completely obliterated, and he spurts blood. Dizzy from a huge blow to his mind, he falls from a tall tree branch. He has lost the contest, so Giant Sun’s will regains control of this round and the treemen turn on him. Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun escape death and flee blindly. Fang Yuan shatters the grasping vine hands and lands, his hearing nearly completely gone. ch. 619
Yet he laughs. He kept the token and learned that this will is not as powerful as expected. It is split in three: the largest portion handles the third arrangement, a small one fights for control of this round, and the last beat Fang Yuan’s will. Fang Yuan’s will exterminated that portion and, with the third arrangement, harmed the large one, so only the small portion still controls this round. Giant Sun’s will falls into extreme anger, having greatly underestimated a mortal who kept many wills in his mind. The treemen attack Tai Bai Yun Sheng and Zhao Lian Yun beside Ma Hong Yun. ch. 619
Fleeing aimlessly, Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun come near Fang Yuan, and Ma Hong Yun begs for help. Fang Yuan approaches, saying they share an enemy in Giant Sun’s will. Mo Yao shouts in his mind that he must save them. The will, she explains, is not after Ma Hong Yun, but a rule from its main body makes it exterminate any otherworldly demon it sees, and Zhao Lian Yun is one. Saving her would give Fang Yuan the best weapon against the will, since she and Ma Hong Yun are truly in love and will definitely be its enemies, and fortune rivalling heaven Gu would then deal with it. ch. 619
Her words are very moving, and Fang Yuan’s hidden killing intent shrinks as he realizes that appearing now would save the two. His first wave of killing intent met Hei Lou Lan’s trump card, and his second met Giant Sun’s will, which gravely injured him and weakened his mind by at least thirty percent. Now Mo Yao stops his third wave, and she makes perfect sense. Fang Yuan wanted Ma Hong Yun dead to change the land spirit’s ownership, but with Hei Lou Lan guarding false emotion fake will Gu, killing the two achieves nothing. He is tongue-tied at the thought that this third time the one stopping him is himself. ch. 619
