Chapter 919

Tai Bai Yun Sheng transmits that Blazing Heaven Demoness is a rank eight great expert they cannot fight, and Fang Yuan understands he means to sit and watch. Even the four of them working together might not hold off so absolutely powerful a foe for multiple rounds. Even with his house destroyed, Shark Demon does not dare fight her directly and means instead to invoke Zombie Alliance’s own rules against attacking a fellow member. Blazing Heaven Demoness, unbothered, says justifying her actions is simple. ^{ch. 919}

She calls out Bo Dan, who bows deeply and claims he was forced. She accuses Shark Demon and Su Bai Man of directing him to steal her rank eight immortal material, medicine ice, while she was careless in closed cultivation. Bo Dan is in truth a minor, pitiful figure. Blazing Heaven Demoness had already seized his private sea area by force, and after Fang Yuan schemed against him, Bo Dan bribed Su Bai Man with that same medicine ice for her protection. ^{ch. 919}

Blazing Heaven Demoness’s own greed was stirred. Shark Demon’s invasion had drawn heavy attention from the start, and with eight doors labyrinth broken the blessed land was near capture. But she could not seize its fruits directly, since this was Zombie Alliance’s own headquarters rather than her Northern Plains branch. As a member she could not break the alliance’s rules. So she sent Bo Dan a false promise to return his sea area, then forced him, once he returned, to frame Shark Demon and Su Bai Man. ^{ch. 919}

Shark Demon judges Bo Dan too minor for the accusation to survive investigation, and tells her to just admit she wants the spoils. Su Bai Man calls her conduct ugly for a rank eight expert. Blazing Heaven Demoness knows the excuse is weak, meant only as cover for the alliance’s headquarters; what will force the couple to yield is strength, not an excuse. She declares her terms: three moves, and if the group blocks them all she will leave as though she was never here. Shark Demon agrees, with little choice, and with a few words draws in Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng too, though Tai Bai Yun Sheng frowns slightly at it. ^{ch. 919}

Su Bai Man privately promises Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng a favor if they survive, while Fang Yuan privately resolves only to pretend effort. He says that as a wisdom path Gu Immortal, with Tai Bai Yun Sheng skilled at healing, the two of them already have grounds to excuse a poor showing. He steps forward beside Shark Demon and Su Bai Man to face her. ^{ch. 919}

Nonchalant, Blazing Heaven Demoness shapes a flame into a bird in her hand and releases it, letting it flutter playfully instead of attacking. All four wear extremely ugly expressions: the bird looks cute, but released it could exterminate countless lives across a huge stretch of the surrounding sea in one blow, a move no rank six or seven Gu Immortal can block. The three moves agreement is just a joke. Dispirited, Shark Demon asks its name. She explains that careless cultivation once nearly cost her life to flames of anger, and that recovering from it inspired this rank eight move, which she named Angry Bird. She is displaying overwhelming strength on purpose, to force Shark Demon to surrender. With just this one move shown, Fang Yuan and the rest give up hope; only Shark Demon holds on. ^{ch. 919}

He tells the others to retreat and steps forward alone, inviting her attack. Surprised, she asks if he is certain, while Su Bai Man tells Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng to retreat too, both startled that he wants no help. She lets the angry bird tear through the water toward him, but at the sea floor a strong aura bursts out to contest her equally, and Shark Demon smiles as though his plan has succeeded. Su Bai Man tells Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng that they chose this exact spot for their underwater palace for a reason. ^{ch. 919}
