Chapter 953

Hui Feng Zi, a hired hand subdued into Central Continent’s service, sees Hei Lou Lan’s group enter Luo Po Valley and alerts Prince Feng Xian at once. Prince Feng Xian’s hand is still slightly shaking, admiring how long Feng Jiu Ge endured the winds of assimilation. Feng Jiu Ge is already dead. ^{ch. 953}

With Feng Jiu Ge gone, only Zhao Lian Yun remains in the inheritance space and quickly gains it, Ghostly Concealment. She reports his death to Prince Feng Xian. They were late, he thinks, and flies off with her at once. ^{ch. 953}

Fairy Li Shan’s link to Blazing Heaven Demoness is already known to everyone. Prince Feng Xian wants no fight, since Northern Plains has only five rank eight Gu Immortals on the surface, and Blazing Heaven Demoness barely joins them as a sixth, all very familiar with each other. Attacking Fairy Li Shan and Hei Lou Lan would draw Blazing Heaven Demoness out and risk exposing his very special identity. He retreats instead. ^{ch. 953}

The three break the concealment seal and search the ruined valley, half destroyed by the hundred days battle and disfigured by Gu formations from Shadow Sect and Hong Chi Ming. Fang Yuan finds remains of white lotus giant silkworm Gu, though he already holds enough elsewhere to feed cleanse soul Immortal Gu. He tries open door Gu and close door Gu, but gets no response. He guesses wrongly that Shadow Sect took the inheritance. Its true beneficiary was Zhao Lian Yun and Central Continent’s forces, only a short while earlier. Prince Feng Xian was late to save Feng Jiu Ge, and Fang Yuan late by a step to reach the valley. ^{ch. 953}

Hei Lou Lan reminds him the true treasure is still the valley itself. Fang Yuan lifts the whole of Luo Po Valley into his immortal aperture over an hour, with Fairy Li Shan’s Gu worms cooperating. Hui Feng Zi is shocked to see them take it. Prince Feng Xian, truly caught unprepared too, restrains himself and does nothing. ^{ch. 953}

Hei Lou Lan, more self-controlled since her failed calamity, decides to leave at once. Luo Po Valley itself is extremely ruined, but can definitely be restored with Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s Landscape as Before, and its value remains extremely difficult to replace. The group retreats quickly. ^{ch. 953}

Prince Feng Xian watches them recede with a dark, cold gaze: they left really quickly because they know their situation, too fast for him to chase. He cannot act openly, but two female Gu Immortals, Swordmaster You Lan and Le Yao, serve under him alongside other secret forces. So many Gu Immortals died here that the leftover blessed lands are rich resources neither he nor the Central Continent Gu Immortals will give up, though the Immortal Gu themselves are certainly already destroyed. He decides to report Zhao Lian Yun and news of Feng Jiu Ge’s death back to the sect first. He leaves at once with her. Hui Feng Zi stays behind to watch the blessed lands. ^{ch. 953}

Hei Lou Lan brings Fang Yuan and Fairy Li Shan to Xiao Hun blessed land, left by Hei Cheng, dim and dominated by dark and soul path dao marks. Its central forest is a resource found nowhere else. Hei Cheng himself raised and created its trees, shaped like female bodies. ^{ch. 953}

The land spirit, a jade-green vine attached to the familial emotion Su Xian Er left for Hei Lou Lan, made her master of the blessed land once she brought that emotion out, since its ownership condition required staying with Su Xian Er forever. Fang Yuan is slightly surprised. Hei Cheng’s final obsession before death was Su Xian Er, whom he truly loved even as he died. ^{ch. 953}

The familial emotion greets Hei Lou Lan warmly, and its land spirit carries the three onward in an instant, marking the land as rich in space path dao marks. Fang Yuan places Luo Po Valley down there. Fairy Li Shan smiles: the three now hold three secluded domains of heaven and earth, Fang Yuan’s Dang Hun Mountain, her Miniscule Mountain, and Little Lan’s Luo Po Valley. Fang Yuan feels some expectation, recalling that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable proclaimed Dang Hun Mountain and Luo Po Valley the two treasures of soul path cultivation. ^{ch. 953}
