Blazing Heaven Demoness
At a banquet in Shark sea’s underwater palace, his third with Fang Yuan, Shark Demon and Su Bai Man host Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng after retreating from Yu Lu blessed land’s barrier. Shark Demon asks directly how much assurance Fang Yuan truly has in unraveling Unmoving Troops. Fang Yuan answers that his wisdom path inheritance is complete and recent insight let him unravel eight doors labyrinth, but he still lacks a wisdom path Immortal Gu. Were he able to refine one, he says, he could definitely unravel the unmanned Unmoving Troops. Tai Bai Yun Sheng vouches that Fang Yuan never exaggerates and guarantees his word. ch. 918
Su Bai Man presses further, demanding a guarantee he can unravel the move. Fang Yuan answers with a bitter smile: he cannot have complete certainty against Paradise Earth Immortal Venerable, one of the ten supreme experts in history, but for now he is quite confident with the Immortal Gu’s help. Shark Demon and Su Bai Man are angered by his slipperiness but moved all the same. ch. 918
They had already paid a considerable price once for another wisdom path Gu Immortal’s help and lost an Immortal Gu for it, so Fang Yuan, proven and now part of Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance, is their first choice regardless. Refining an Immortal Gu is costly and rests on luck, unreliable enough that many rank six Gu Immortals own none. Fang Yuan is unusual in owning many, though Shark Demon and Su Bai Man see only someone unable to afford refining one himself. Fang Yuan says nothing and only drinks. ch. 918
He is certain the timing favors him. Yu Lu blessed land dangles before Shark Demon like meat, and Fang Yuan has already considered devouring the gains alone and betraying them. But his rank seven battle strength cannot beat Shark Demon alone, let alone Zombie Alliance behind him, so he aims only for the largest share he can claim. By his third cup, Shark Demon and Su Bai Man confer in secret, agreeing to fund his refinement, demanding no oath and no probing Gu, and valuing a friendship with a rare wisdom path Gu Immortal. ch. 918
Before Shark Demon can answer further, the immense sea shakes intensely, thunder cracking, and a piercing fire pillar tears down from outside, wrecking the palace’s defensive formation in under a breath and leaving the palace itself in ruins. The extremely pleasant banquet ends thoroughly as the sea rushes in, submerging all four, though none of them, as Gu Immortals, take any harm from the depth. Shark Demon needs no air. ch. 918
Shark Demon rises in fury, demanding to know who dares attack his sea area, backed by Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance, an overlord of Eastern Sea’s cultivation world. A voice answers, laughing that this is only a small appetizer and promising to destroy the palace and beat them until they cannot stand. The voice is a female immortal’s. Su Bai Man recognizes it at once, alarmed. A bright red figure descends through the sea, wreathed in fire that hides her true appearance. ch. 918
Tai Bai Yun Sheng identifies a rank eight Gu Immortal’s aura, and Fang Yuan privately refines it further: a rank eight female immortal zombie. Shark Demon names her at once, Blazing Heaven Demoness, accusing her of attacking a Zombie Alliance member and warning that defying its authority will definitely bring severe punishment. Fang Yuan recognizes the name: a rank eight Gu Immortal from Northern Plains, leader of its Zombie Alliance branch, praised by other members for her formidable strength and domineering style while he infiltrated that branch. He had not expected to meet her like this. ch. 918
Still wreathed in fire, Blazing Heaven Demoness calls this an internal Zombie Alliance matter and accuses Shark Demon first of stealing her immortal material. Shark Demon denies stealing anything, says he has spent recent days on Zombie Alliance’s own assignment invading Yu Lu blessed land, and accuses her of picking a quarrel. Blazing Heaven Demoness laughs that she has come with a witness he will not be able to deny. Furious, Shark Demon dares her to produce it. ch. 918
