Chapter 989

Two figures burst out of Luo Po Valley: the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie and Hei Cheng, with no Central Continent Gu Immortals chasing behind. Fang Yuan concludes Shadow Sect lost the hundred days battle, since keeping Xue Song Zi alive only stalled the result by three days. He chases the fast-fleeing zombie, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng suddenly blocks its path, promising it will die today. The zombie strikes what looks like Tai Bai Yun Sheng, but it bursts into bubbles, an illusion. The zombie counts itself at forty percent of its battle strength. It reads Tai Bai Yun Sheng as a rank six sent only to delay its escape. ^{ch. 989}

Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s illusion returns, as vivid as the one the zombie struck and took for real. It soon investigates and sees through the trick, then flies off unconcerned. With Fixed Immortal Travel and Tai Bai Yun Sheng tracking the zombie for him, Fang Yuan finally catches up, wearing Feng Jiu Ge’s face through familiar face. The Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie panics at the sight, since Qin Bai Sheng was meant to have already sealed Feng Jiu Ge away. ^{ch. 989}

Fang Yuan judges Hei Cheng not worth chasing now. He is injured, weak, and has already lost his Immortal Gu House. The zombie matters more: Qin Bai Sheng and Jiang Yu kept him alive as a core member of the ten extreme immortal zombie lifeless formation at the battle of Yi Tian Mountain. Capturing him would let Fang Yuan soul search Shadow Sect’s secrets, and even killing him would still cost Shadow Sect heavily as Fang Yuan prepares to challenge it for Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage. The zombie itself grows suspicious of the fake Feng Jiu Ge, since it saw Qin Bai Sheng trap the real Feng Jiu Ge, Ao Xue and Ling Mei inside a Thieving Heaven true inheritance beforehand. Shadow Sect also knows Zhao Lian Yun was secretly sent to Central Continent, and that Spirit Affinity House, holding a Thieving Heaven true inheritance, would send her to it. It uses an investigative immortal killer move to check, and breaks into a cold sweat: this really is Feng Jiu Ge. ^{ch. 989}

Star fog concealment shields Fang Yuan’s disguise, so even wisdom path methods would take the zombie a long time to see through it. In his previous life, information from Hei Lou Lan never showed this zombie using wisdom path methods during the hundred days battle. In that same life Old Ancestor Xue Hu captured this zombie, who then waited on Zombie Alliance to rescue him, so Fang Yuan rates his chance of taking him high. Having already scouted the area, Fang Yuan uses Fixed Immortal Travel to block the zombie’s path again and again, herding it toward his prepared star soul battlefield. Forcing the zombie into that battlefield and draining what strength it has left would likely win Fang Yuan the fight. Just before it falls in, the zombie turns and attacks with fire, forcing Fang Yuan to retreat with his eyebrows and hair charred. Realizing the deception, the enraged zombie charges the fake Feng Jiu Ge instead. ^{ch. 989}

Fang Yuan’s biggest flaw, a flying speed slower than the true Feng Jiu Ge’s, feeds the zombie’s suspicion. Now Fang Yuan is the one in danger, slower in flight and much weakened since he enslaved the featherman Gu Immortal. He barely dodges the flames and ends up battered. As the furious zombie closes in, Fang Yuan suddenly laughs, declaring that the zombie fell for his plan and that his own mission is complete. Shocked, the Blazing Glory Lightning Brilliance immortal zombie turns and flees for its life. ^{ch. 989}
