Northern Plains, Luo Po Valley.
The luo po wind swirled as the thick bewitching fog permeated everywhere, an icy, bone-chilling Aura enveloping the surroundings, making this place, famous throughout the Five Regions as a desolate and cold spot, appear even more eerie and treacherous.
Qin Bai Sheng, Fairy Jiang Yu, Wind Returning Child, Wolf Wolf, Jiang Yu, Black City, Snow Pine Child, and the Rank Seven Yanhuang Leize Immortal Zombie were locked in a tense standoff within Luo Po Valley against the group of immortals from Central Continent's Ten Great Ancient Sects, led by Feng Jiu Ge; a slaughter was on the verge of breaking out.
Over these past few days, several world-shaking battles had already erupted between the two sides, fighting until the sun and moon lost their light and the heavens and earth changed color, with the dark mist in the valley constantly churning from the terrifying aftershocks of Immortal Path Killer Moves.
The Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword, which Qin Bai Sheng relied on as his trump card, had been easily neutralized several times by Feng Jiu Ge's Heaven and Earth Song Killer Move.
Having lost the reliance of his strongest Killer Move, Qin Bai Sheng completely lacked confidence, aside from his Soul Suppression Killer Move and those exquisite Metal Path Immortal Rank Killer Moves.
Therefore, Qin Bai Sheng could only urgently send out distress signals to Fang Yuan and Yuan Fang.
But Yuan Fang was not in the least bit of a hurry.
He had already planted Wind Returning Child, Wolf Wolf, Jiang Yu, and Black City as undercover agents, gaining a clear understanding of the troop strength and the formations of the Central Continent immortals within Luo Po Valley. With a plan already in mind, he naturally felt no urgency.
Subsequently, Yuan Fang turned around and sold the God Knows Not Killer Move to the Lang Ya Earth Spirit. This single transaction exchanged for many good things, specifically:
Rank Seven Trace Marks Immortal Gu, Rank Seven dragon breath immortal gu, Rank Seven beast taming immortal gu, Rank Six Serrated Immortal Gu, plus ten Gu Refining opportunities, six months of usage rights for the heavenly origin treasure emperor lotus, and a five hundred year longevity gu.
This transaction was entirely different from his previous life.
The additional Rank Six Serrated Immortal Gu was the extra compensation for Yuan Fang helping the Lang Ya Sect set up teleportation Gu Formations in the Northern Plains Zombie Alliance branch's Earth Trench, by the Luotian River in Central Continent, near Five Boundary Mountain in Southern Border, in the Green Ghost Desert of Western Desert, and in the Turbulent Flow Sea of Eastern Sea.
In addition, Yuan Fang used the Gu Refining opportunities to successfully refine Rank Seven dog shit luck immortal gu once, Rank Seven Fixed Immortal Travel twice, Rank Seven Giant Sword Immortal Gu twice, Rank Seven transformation immortal gu four times, and Rank Seven Star Marks Immortal Gu once.
At this point, the ten Gu Refining opportunities were completely exhausted, and the Great Love Sect's warehouse of immortal materials was nearly emptied. A massive amount of immortal materials had been converted into immortal gu, causing the Great Love Sect's foundation to skyrocket several levels.
Yet Yuan Fang remained as steady as Mount Tai.
He had inherited the Return Home Sect founded by Dao Tian Demon Venerable and held a trade flow of a million immortal essence stones, so he had no worries about the consumption of immortal materials at all;
Furthermore, with the four sources of wealth—courage gu, ancient glory light, Dragon Fish, and Fire Dragon Python trade—to back him up, the Great Love Sect had no concerns about economic collapse.
Moreover, Yuan Fang knew in his heart that before long, the Immortal Zombie Thin Green would awaken in the Luotian River.
When that time came, the Immortal Zombie Thin Green would slash across the sky, killing countless Ancient Desolate Beasts and Ancient Desolate Beasts, allowing the Great Love Sect to harvest a massive amount of Rank Seven and Rank Eight immortal materials. The immortal materials warehouse would only become more abundant.
In addition, Yuan Fang sold a large batch of mecha mortal gu houses to the Lang Ya Sect.
Even the Talisman mortal gu houses he had personally built were all purchased by the Lang Ya Earth Spirit, converted into a massive amount of contribution points.
He also sold the rank six immortal gu hometown returner to Lang Ya Blessed Land in exchange for a Rank Seven immortal gu and ten Gu Refining opportunities.
After the Lang Ya Earth Spirit obtained the immortal gu house hometown returner, just like in the previous life, the Lang Ya Earth Spirit renamed the immortal gu house hometown returner to 'Lang Ya Number'.
Yuan Fang consumed two of those Gu Refining opportunities to re-refine the two Human Path immortal gu from his previous life, United Will and Strong Will, restoring his strongest defensive Killer Move from his past life, United Will.
Not only that, he also integrated the Rank Seven Myriad Self Immortal Gu into this Killer Move, causing the move's power to skyrocket several times over. Its defensive strength could be called invincible among Gu Immortals of the same rank.
With all preparations complete, Yuan Fang brought the high-end combat power of the Great Love Sect—Fang Yuan, Fang Zheng, Chang Fan, Bu Lin, Lin Hong, Qing Shu, and Gu Yue Qingzhuo—and used a disguised Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport directly to Luo Po Valley in Northern Plains.
With the powerful addition of the two Rank Seven powerhouses, Fang Yuan and Yuan Fang, the Shadow Sect immortals no longer faced a numerical disadvantage against the Central Continent immortals, and the battle situation was instantly reversed.
Unlike the previous life, Yuan Fang did not kill Chen Zhenchi and Bu Feiyan; instead, he planned to enslave them for his own use.
After all, the title'Spreading wings through the Nine Heavens, a wisp of smoke coming and going' was famous in Central Continent. If such top-tier experts could be brought under his command, his combat strength would surely increase significantly;
Furthermore, Gu Immortals with such prominent identities were highly valuable as undercover agents. Keeping them would be of great use for future manipulation of the Central Continent's Ten Great Ancient Sects and for strategic planning.
Even if used to exchange for ransom, the harvest would be substantial.
And in this life, when Yuan Fang's group arrived, Spirit Affinity House had not only sent the Rank Seven Water Path immortal gu house near water pavilion but had also sent two Rank Seven Gu Immortals, Huang Yucheng and Lei Yihao, as reinforcements.
Within Spirit Affinity House, aside from two Rank Eight Grand Elders, they were divided into Feng Jiu Ge's lineage and the 'Anti-Feng Faction' led by the couple Xu Hao and Li Junying.
Spirit Affinity House would certainly not send Gu Immortals from the Anti-Feng Faction to support Feng Jiu Ge. From this, it could be seen that the couple Huang Yucheng and Lei Yihao were merely peripheral members of Feng Jiu Ge's lineage.
They had no say within Spirit Affinity House, and almost no one cared about their life or death, making them perfect targets for elimination.
Thus, Huang Yucheng and Lei Yihao first had all the rank six immortal gu within their immortal apertures silently snatched away by Gu Yue Qingzhuo activating the Flower Transfer and Wood Grafting Killer Move.
Their combat strength was instantly halved. Immediately after, Yuan Fang boldly activated the Sword Wave Triple Fold Killer Move.
Layer upon layer of incredibly sharp sword waves swept over, instantly swallowing the two of them completely.
Huang Yucheng and Lei Yihao couldn't even let out a full scream before their Physical Bodies were ground to pieces inch by inch by the chilling sword waves, their bones crushed into powder, and their flesh exploding into a mist of blood. Not even a single whole piece of their corpses remained.
Only their battered souls were shaken into dust, and then they were forcibly sucked into the human sovereign banner in Yuan Fang's hand, suffering extreme pain and being completely 'purified' amidst endless wails.
The dark and sinful lives of these two despicable and filthy individuals were completely terminated, leaving not a single trace behind.
After the battle, the scattered remains of Huang Yucheng and Lei Yihao everywhere were all collected by Bu Lin, cooked into a special delicacy with a Food Path Killer Move, and then he activated the Uncle Gus's Tune Killer Move to completely transform this delicacy into his own Food Path dao marks.
The messy and filthy remains on the ground thus turned into a solid strength gain within Bu Lin's body, without even a bit of filth remaining. These two nauseating existences completely vanished from the world.
Cold remains became warm dao marks and a satisfying sense of fullness.
In addition, the post-battle tally of the rank six immortal gu obtained from the Central Continent immortals' immortal apertures via Flower Transfer and Wood Grafting reached as many as thirty-five.
Besides these thirty-five immortal gu, Fang Yuan could also exchange for two rank six immortal gu from Shadow Sect.
Fang Yuan immediately took Qin Bai Sheng's Self Love Immortal Gu. As for the other exchange opportunity, it was replaced with the complete Legacy of the Soul Suppression Killer Move, along with a full set of immortal materials and the complete Gu recipe for refining the core immortal gu of the Soul Suppression Killer Move.
Just like in the previous life, the immortal gu brewing in Luo Po Valley completely formed. Qin Bai Sheng immediately led the Shadow Sect immortals out of Luo Po Valley to launch a night raid on the Central Continent group.
During this great battle, Yuan Fang constantly activated the Only I Am Supreme Killer Move, secretly ambushing and enslaving the Central Continent immortals.
By the time Qin Bai Sheng dragged Feng Jiu Ge into the Dao Tian space, Yuan Fang had already enslaved seven Rank Seven Gu Immortals from Central Continent's Ten Great Ancient Sects—Old Calculator, Hong Chiming, Chen Zhenchi, Bu Feiyan, Fairy Ling Mei, Fairy Proud Snow, and Setting Sun Old Lord—as his own Clones.
Among them, Old Calculator was from Ancient Soul Sect, Hong Chiming was from Wind Cloud Manor, the two fairies Ling Mei and Proud Snow were from Heavenly Jealousy Tower, Chen Zhenchi was from Myriad Dragon Dock, and Bu Feiyan, who was equally famous, was from Heavenly Lotus Sect.
In addition to these seven Clones, Yuan Fang also took the Rank Seven Water Path immortal gu house near water pavilion into his possession.
This immortal gu house had a long history, dating back to the period of the Spirit Affinity House's Ancestral Master, more than three hundred thousand years ago. It was personally built by Ancestral Master Shui Ni and possessed extraordinary power.
There was also an unexpected surprise: Hong Chiming, who came from Wind Cloud Manor, was actually a Formation Path Quasi-Grandmaster.
One must know that the threshold for practicing Formation Path is extremely high; those with slightly lesser talent find it difficult to even enter the door throughout their lives, and its difficulty is even above Wisdom Path.
Yuan Fang sat within the near water pavilion, feeling quite pleased.
Just then, he caught sight of Snow Pine Child, who had Rank Six cultivation, engaged in a fierce struggle not far away with the Rank Seven Gu Immortal of Black Heaven Temple, Heavenly Deaf Old Man.
Previously, in the Lang Ya Blessed Land defense battle, Snow Pine Child had lost the Rank Six Ice Heart Immortal Gu that Shadow Sect had lent him, and later he had borrowed another Rank Six Snow Shadow Immortal Gu.
With the ancient glory light, Yuan Fang could clearly peer into the immortal gu within the enemy's immortal aperture.
Yuan Fang immediately activated Flower Transfer and Wood Grafting, directly taking away Snow Pine Child's Rank Six Snow Shadow Immortal Gu, and then used the Only I Am Supreme Killer Move to enslave Black Heaven Temple's Heavenly Deaf Old Man.
Seeing this, Snow Pine Child's face turned pale instantly. Knowing that the situation was lost, he immediately knelt down to beg for mercy.
Yuan Fang's gaze was indifferent as he spoke coldly: "Give me a reason to spare your life."
The cold tone made Snow Pine Child tremble all over, terrified to the extreme, but at the critical moment of life and death, he still forced himself to speak:
"Lord, I am willing to be your most loyal servant, at your beck and call! I also have a hundred year longevity gu, which I am willing to offer to you!"
Seeing Yuan Fang remain silent, Snow Pine Child broke into a cold sweat and added with a trembling voice:
"Lord... I am also the sixth leader of Northern Plains' Great Snow Mountain Blessed Land. I can reveal all the secrets of Great Snow Mountain and am willing to be your undercover agent planted there... I can even go and persuade Black City to surrender!"
These words moved Yuan Fang slightly, and he nodded in agreement.
Snow Pine Child immediately wept with joy, unaware that he was still surrounded by danger. Yuan Fang thought to himself:
Snow Pine Child's identity as the sixth leader of Great Snow Mountain was indeed his reliance for staying alive, but this person's strength was too low to be worth consuming the Only I Am Supreme Killer Move to enslave;
He would keep him for now. If his strength improved in the future, he would be taken as a Clone. If he was still useless after the Battle of Reverse Flow River, he would simply be refined into a life and death immortal aperture to benefit his own people.
After taking Snow Pine Child into the near water pavilion, Old Calculator and the others sent news that the Rank Eight Gu Immortal Prince Feng Xian was about to arrive as reinforcement.
Yuan Fang made a prompt decision and piloted the near water pavilion to bring in Fang Yuan, Fang Zheng, Qing Shu, Chang Fan, Bu Lin, Avatar, and Lin Hong.
Along with Black City, Wind Returning Child, Jiang Yu, and Wolf Wolf, they were all brought in, and then he activated Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport back to Great Love Blessed Land.
A few days later, Yuan Fang and Fang Yuan stepped into Luo Po Valley again and entered the Dao Tian space to rescue Feng Jiu Ge.
Both sides agreed on terms just like in the previous life, and Yuan Fang also successfully obtained the Rank Seven my solitude immortal gu.
After Feng Jiu Ge escaped the Dao Tian space, Yuan Fang and Fang Yuan continued deeper, and Fang Yuan, just like in the previous life, inherited the Ghost Does Not Perceive true inheritance within the Dao Tian space.
Subsequently, Fang Yuan activated the Pulling Mountain immortal gu, intending to move the entire Luo Po Valley into his own immortal aperture.
But unlike the previous life, this time the movement was not hidden from others.
And the one who came was none other than the son-in-law of Northern Plains' Gong family, the Rank Eight Flame Path powerhouse—Prince Feng Xian.
Yuan Fang's heart tightened slightly. Looking back, the Dao Tian space had already dissipated, and Prince Feng Xian was staring at the two of them like a tiger watching its prey, shouting sternly:
"You petty scoundrels, how dare you covet my Gong family's Luo Po Valley? Today, I cannot let you leave!"
Before his voice had even faded, Prince Feng Xian activated an Immortal Path Killer Move to attack. Yuan Fang dodged rapidly while simultaneously activating Sword Wave Triple Fold, as countless Flying Swords condensed into layer upon layer of overwhelming sword waves that crashed toward Prince Feng Xian.
As the sword waves arrived, Prince Feng Xian used a casual Killer Move to incinerate all the sword waves into nothingness.
At that moment, four thick golden chains burst through the air and tightly locked Prince Feng Xian's limbs; this strike was from Yuan Fang's hand.
"Immortal Path Killer Move—Myriad Self Great Hand Seal!"
With a thought from Fang Yuan, several disguised giant handprints blotted out the sky, crashing toward Prince Feng Xian with a majestic Aura.
Prince Feng Xian was not flustered at all. Raging flames ignited around him, instantly melting the four golden chains into nothingness.
Just as Prince Feng Xian raised his hand to deal with the Myriad Self Great Hand Seal, an extremely hidden sword light silently struck from behind him at an extreme speed, directly piercing through his head.
This was Yuan Fang's An Qi Sha, which could hide sword light to the extreme, making it impossible to guard against.
The moment Prince Feng Xian's head was pierced, his entire body turned into a ball of pure fire, finally condensing into a lump of Rank Eight Flame Path immortal materials.
It turned out this was not Prince Feng Xian's main body, but only a Flame Path Clone of his, which inherited a portion of the main body's combat strength.
Seeing this lump of Rank Eight immortal materials, Fang Yuan feared that Prince Feng Xian might have left some hidden traps within it. He immediately activated a Killer Move to completely destroy it, and then activated Fixed Immortal Travel with Yuan Fang to teleport back to Great Love Blessed Land.
The reason he didn't take the immortal materials was that Fang Yuan was wary of Prince Feng Xian secretly playing tricks;
And directly destroying it was to eliminate all variables. To be safe, he would never leave any opportunity for his opponent to exploit.
