Chapter 893

Fang Yuan helps Tai Bai Yun Sheng past the shark groups to capture cloud line sharks for Tai Bai blessed land. Tai Bai Yun Sheng thanks Shark Demon and Su Bai Man as the banquet ends. Shark Demon escorts the two guests out. Su Bai Man then asks what her husband makes of Xing Xiang Zi; Shark Demon’s smile vanishes, and he calls the man humble seeming but arrogant and secretive, angered that Bo Dan was embarrassed and cost him face. ^{ch. 893}

Su Bai Man defends Bo Dan: Blazing Heaven Demoness, a Northern Plains immortal zombie, has occupied his private sea area for years and refuses to return it. He was recently beaten after begging for it back, which explains his anger at Northern Plains Gu Immortals. Having lost that income, he saw the Yu Lu reward as his best chance to escape poverty until Fang Yuan’s methods stole it from him. Shark Demon notices her sudden sympathy and teases that Bo Dan must have sent her a gift; she admits it was a palm sized medicine ice. Shark Demon is surprised, since even a small amount is a genuine rank eight immortal material, and wonders where Bo Dan found it. Su Bai Man calls Bo Dan no simple character. ^{ch. 893}

Shark Demon still wants Bo Dan on the next attempt, precisely to hold Fang Yuan in check, since his own side understands no wisdom path methods and cannot otherwise restrain so capable an outsider. Su Bai Man praises him: both men are his to play. Fang Yuan then follows Tai Bai Yun Sheng to his crude nameless island home, which has grown slightly known among Eastern Sea Gu Immortals because of its owner. ^{ch. 893}

Since the failed attempt means more preparation time, Tai Bai Yun Sheng spends it answering requests for Landscape as Before, his sought after time path Immortal Gu that fixes sea area problems. He invites Fang Yuan to join his rounds, but Fang Yuan declines, telling him to keep their friendship quiet since what he plans may implicate him. Alarmed, he recalls that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable’s setup in Imperial Court blessed land and Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was destroyed because of Fang Yuan, then still a mortal, and worries what he might attempt now. Fang Yuan reassures him he means only to join Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance. Tai Bai Yun Sheng sees no obstacle, since Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance is the five regions’ headquarters and the one branch that recruits living Gu Immortals. Fang Yuan disagrees, calling Zombie Alliance members like Bo Dan the poorest of Gu Immortals, ranked below even its immortal zombies, and expecting other righteous path forces to welcome him warmly at the slightest hint. He concludes that for a Gu Immortal like him, joining would need both his own wish and a strong external pressure, then asks which super force sits nearest. ^{ch. 893}

Song clan is a colossus that has held Eastern Sea for hundreds of years. It is one of the region’s top ten super forces, with eighteen publicly known Gu Immortals. First supreme elder Song Qi Yuan has held rank eight for many years with unfathomable battle strength. His son Song Diao Ling, a talented rank seven Gu Immortal recognized as successor, was schemed against and died over ten years ago, leaving a daughter, Song Yi Shi, the only descendant of Song Qi Yuan’s bloodline. Pampered by her grandfather since childhood, Song Yi Shi was spared the struggle most Gu Immortals face. Song Qi Yuan protected her through her immortal ascension, and after she reached rank six, gave her the poetic emotion sea area, four million square kilometers, extremely rich in resources, and ranked above Shark Demon’s shark sea. Fang Yuan explores the area and, combining it with memories from his previous life, centers his plan on Song Yi Shi. ^{ch. 893}
