Chapter 985

Fang Yuan floats above Eastern Sea. He waits over a small sea once Bo Dan’s. Blazing Heaven Demoness, a rank eight fire path immortal zombie who leads the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, occupies that sea now. His letter Gu to her lies undisturbed in the sea. ^{ch. 985}

A voice demands who dares interrupt her while she refines Gu. Unable to trace her, he bows, offering his respects as Fang Yuan. ^{ch. 985}

Her mood is good at his name, Fairy Li Shan having written that she wants to mend their relationship for Hei Lou Lan’s sake. She had probed him, and his mere rank six dropped her guard. She was not refining Gu, and claimed otherwise to gain the initiative. Unfazed by her blunt opening, Fang Yuan impresses her. ^{ch. 985}

He deactivates familiar face, reverting to his immortal zombie body. She finds no flaw in his rank eight attitude Gu, and asks about Wisdom Star Chen Dao. The two are one, he answers, but he is not only Wisdom Star. Her opinion rises, since Fairy Li Shan never mentioned his wisdom path attainment. She has eyed Yu Lu blessed land, gathering information on Shark Demon. ^{ch. 985}

Fang Yuan points to his entry into Imperial Court blessed land, then asks her interest in Yu Lu blessed land. She deflects. He would not have come otherwise. She asks if this comes from his master, Purple Mountain True Monarch, and he does not deny it. ^{ch. 985}

Given time, he can unravel Yu Lu blessed land’s last battlefield killer move. Removing Shark Demon and Su Bai Man is her matter. With a wisdom path Immortal Gu and unmoving troops unmanned, he expects little difficulty. ^{ch. 985}

She demands proof. Fang Yuan, who knows her temper from his previous life, stays calm. ^{ch. 985}

He offers proof, pretending to deduce. He says a rank eight great expert is truly difficult to deduce, and she asks if this is his excuse for failing. ^{ch. 985}

He has deduced her contact with Zombie Alliance headquarters. It targets Su Bai Man and Shark Demon. Bo Dan, captured, will be released to bribe Su Bai Man, framed as stolen material. ^{ch. 985}

With defenses against wisdom path deduction, she cannot see why they failed. She suspects it is his master’s deduction, and calms: no one reaching rank eight is easily fooled. ^{ch. 985}

She declares a difficult problem, and grabs him as fire bursts. He is unafraid she will harm him, since Hei Lou Lan’s attitude Gu sits in his hands. ^{ch. 985}

He cannot move as she turns to fire and tears away. The fire vanishes, and he finds himself on a green plain. A green-gold palace stands nearby: an Immortal Gu House. ^{ch. 985}

Many Gu Immortals surround it, gazes turning to Blazing Heaven Demoness and Fang Yuan, a huge disturbance. She releases her aura to draw every eye, and Fang Yuan is heavily watched. ^{ch. 985}

Three Gu Immortals greet her: Song Kun, Cai Xiong, and Ruo Lai Gui Yi. None matches her cultivation, but they represent the Song, Cai, and Ruo Lai clans. ^{ch. 985}

She claims interest in Old Eccentric Tian Nan’s inheritance, having come to try for it. Song Kun offers to guide her; the other two join in. She lets all three stand beside her. ^{ch. 985}

Ascending Heaven Plain’s location keeps Zombie Alliance from intervening. Of Eastern Sea’s super forces only these three hold sway here, contesting the plain’s ownership but uniting against an outsider. She knows their clans are alerted, rank eight experts soon to arrive. ^{ch. 985}

Even as a rank eight she cannot take what the plain holds, since interfering would offend all three super forces and draw no help from Zombie Alliance. Domineering but wise, she values giving in. In Fang Yuan’s previous life, this formed her alliance with him. Her true motive is to test whether Fang Yuan truly holds wisdom path attainment, or is merely a fraud relying on Purple Mountain True Monarch. ^{ch. 985}
