Chapter 927

Fang Yuan gives up on Fairy Black Moon as a Connect Luck target. Her masked identity leaves no way to trace her in this timeline. He considers less ideal candidates instead, people whose luck runs strong only briefly and sometimes flips to disaster, even death. Since he has Connect Luck but not Break Luck, their misfortune would strike him too. He judges the short-term gain not worth that long-term risk, so he sets the idea aside. ^{ch. 927}

Blazing Heaven Demoness sends enough materials for another attempt, but Fang Yuan has lost the mood after shocking news. Old Ancestor Xue Hu infiltrated Earth Trench, took many precious Immortal Gu and immortal materials, then looted Northern Plains Zombie Alliance’s immortal zombie graveyard. Immortal zombies hold that place sacred, since their apertures are dead and their bodies are the last thing they still take pride in. A fierce battle exposed his tracks. Zombie Alliance, spanning all five regions, cannot let the insult to its territory and its graveyard go unanswered. Fang Yuan reasons that in his previous life Ma Hong Yun survived and Old Ancestor Xue Hu never obtained him. He takes the raid for an attempt at Immortal Gu Fortune Rivalling Heaven, and for a consequence of his own rebirth changing events. ^{ch. 927}

Guarding Dark Flow Giant City, Yin Liu Gong, Dragon Commander Ye Cha and Huang Quan Weng could only watch Old Ancestor Xue Hu fly away. They called on Zombie Alliance’s headquarters for help. Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance responds by sending three rank eight and ten rank seven immortal zombies to punish him. Blazing Heaven Demoness is among the three rank eights. As leader of the Northern Plains branch, she must answer for the breach and return. ^{ch. 927}

Her departure returns the Yu Lu blessed land mission to Shark Demon and Su Bai Man. They suddenly find other Gu Immortals courting them again, now that only one round remains before its fall. Fang Yuan has no interest in that outcome. ^{ch. 927}

Refining star thought Immortal Gu matters less to him. Reaching the inheritance he has long wanted from Northern Plains Zombie Alliance matters more. That inheritance, from an immortal zombie great expert, would be extremely helpful to him in reviving from his zombie state. In his previous life it let Northern Plains Zombie Alliance surpass Eastern Sea Zombie Alliance in strength for a time. Fang Yuan had already failed once to reach it, disguised as immortal zombie Sha Huang, before Feng Jiu Ge and others ruined the attempt. ^{ch. 927}

Before Fang Yuan can ask, Blazing Heaven Demoness requests that he return to Northern Plains with her. She cites the greater store of materials there. Fang Yuan suspects she also wants to keep him close, uncertain how long Old Ancestor Xue Hu will take to settle, and wants the wisdom path help of his Xing Xiang Zi identity. A century earlier, crossing from Northern Plains into Eastern Sea had cost her most of her wealth. It left her heavily injured for eight years of recovery. Fang Yuan feels a flicker of gratitude toward Old Ancestor Xue Hu, whose exposure has finally handed him the chance he had been waiting for. ^{ch. 927}

Deep in Luo Po valley, five surviving Central Continent Gu Immortals confirm that a Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable true inheritance lies hidden there. They hold the valley now, all that remain after their infiltration cost them heavy losses. The inheritance traps Feng Jiu Ge, Ao Xue and Ling Mei inside. Hong Chi Ming, most skilled among them at Gu formations, is now their spokesman since Ancient Soul Sect’s Old Oracle has died. He judges that breaking in would take two to three years, far longer than they can safely wait. They cannot even enter to learn whether rescue is possible, and staying longer risks the two enemies who escaped returning with reinforcements. ^{ch. 927}

Privately, none of the five wants Feng Jiu Ge saved. His death would relieve the other nine sects’ rivalry with his own. Even losing Ao Xue and Ling Mei, and with them Heaven’s Envy Manor’s signature Peerless Crescent Moon Slash, would be no small loss for so deep a foundation. They agree to withdraw, citing their heavy losses and the need to report their findings back to their own sects. Their captives, Hui Feng Zi and the Immortal Gu House Dark Prison, are extremely valuable gains that will go with them before they return to Central Continent. ^{ch. 927}
