"Little Fox Fairy, escort Brother He out. Brother He, take care." Fang Yuan watched the transaction complete smoothly. Liu Chen also seemed to have no intention of continuing the conversation, so he unhesitatingly ordered Little Fox Fairy to open the Blessed Land and send He Fengyang away.
He Fengyang, naturally, was not one to dither. Without another word, he turned and stepped out of Fox Immortal Blessed Land. He lightly leaped onto a flying lightning crane, an exotic beast. This flying lightning crane was pure white, its feathers soft as silk, and its wings, when spread, were a full ten feet long. When it flapped its wings to fly, it was like a bolt of lightning streaking across the sky.
He Fengyang, controlling the flying lightning crane, sped towards Immortal Crane Sect's station like a white flash of lightning. During the flight, he secretly pondered the details of this transaction and also contacted Tiger Demon Senior, who was hidden in the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu, informing this Supreme Grand Elder of everything that had happened in Fox Immortal Blessed Land.
"Damn it!" Far away in Immortal Crane Sect, Tiger Demon Senior, upon hearing He Fengyang's narration, immediately flew into a rage. He slammed his palm onto the stone table in front of him. With a loud 'bang,' the sturdy stone table instantly shattered into a pile of rubble.
"Why is Third Elder so impulsive? Did the attack on Fox Immortal Blessed Land encounter an obstacle? Or did other ancient Schools break their word?" The two Supreme Grand Elders of Immortal Crane Sect, seeing Tiger Demon Senior so furious, quickly asked.
This attack on Fox Immortal Blessed Land was of extraordinary significance to Immortal Crane Sect. It not only concerned the overall strength improvement of the School but was also a major event that all three Supreme Grand Elders were jointly concerned about. Therefore, when they learned that things might have changed, their moods became exceptionally heavy.
"Third Elder, just tell us directly, so we can discuss countermeasures." The Supreme Grand Elder's expression was steady, and his tone was calm as he pressed for an answer. Although he was somewhat anxious in his heart, no ripple of emotion showed on his face.
Seeing this, Tiger Demon Senior knew that the Supreme Grand Elder already had an idea. So, he no longer delayed and said directly, "The force in Fox Immortal Blessed Land dispatched a Rank Seven Gu Immortal and five Gu Immortals to defend it. He Fengyang and the others failed, but that's not the main point."
Upon hearing this, the second Supreme Grand Elder's heart sank. He said worriedly, "Six Gu Immortals! Now it will be extremely difficult for our Immortal Crane Sect to conquer Fox Immortal Blessed Land." Immortal Crane Sect had already tied up a lot of Gu Immortal combat power due to the Juntian Sword Sect incident and could not send out so many Gu Immortals to attack Fox Immortal Blessed Land in a short time.
The Supreme Grand Elder frowned slightly. He naturally understood the difficulties involved, but he was more concerned about what Tiger Demon Senior was going to say next. "Then what is the main point?" he pressed.
Tiger Demon Senior took a deep breath and continued, "That force sold He Fengyang a piece of information, saying that three Gu Immortals would intercept him on his way back, and the force behind these three Gu Immortals not only influenced Juntian Sword Sect's betrayal but also attempted to instigate a chaotic war among the Schools of Central Continent."
"A force dares to intercept members of our Central Continent's Ten Great Ancient Schools?" The second Supreme Grand Elder was full of suspicion, secretly thinking, "Could this be a play orchestrated by that force itself? They deliberately mislead us to fight with other Schools, so they can take advantage of the chaos and reap benefits." The second Supreme Grand Elder was indeed somewhat concerned about the authenticity of this news.
In contrast, the Supreme Grand Elder's attitude was more cautious. He knew deeply that the Ten Great Ancient Schools held a crucial position in Central Continent and had long aroused dissatisfaction among many small and medium-sized Schools. If someone was truly fanning the flames and sowing discord behind the scenes, the consequences would be unimaginable. "It's better to believe it than not!" the Supreme Grand Elder said solemnly, "We must thoroughly investigate this matter and absolutely not let this force succeed. Even if this news is false, we must treat it as true and investigate. If we can capture one or two Gu Immortals, we might find crucial clues from them."
Tiger Demon Senior, hearing this, snorted coldly and said with a frosty tone, "Those despicable fellows are no different from the Demonic Path! In my opinion, taking advantage of this opportunity, we might as well hold a Gu Immortal Slaughtering Convention and wipe out all those Schools with ill intentions in one swoop! Especially Juntian Sword Sect. Now that their ready-made handle has fallen into our hands, we can just take this opportunity to eradicate them in one fell swoop, which can also be considered eliminating a big trouble."
"Then this time, I'll leave it to Third Elder." The Supreme Grand Elder said with a solemn expression, his gaze falling on Tiger Demon Senior, clearly approving of this decision.
Seeing this, Tiger Demon Senior's mouth curved slightly upward, revealing a confident smile. He said loudly, "Alright then, I'll make this trip. I want to see how capable those Demonic Path Gu Immortals are!" With that, he unhesitatingly accepted.
Immediately after, Tiger Demon Senior quickly took out a communication Gu and sent messages to several Gu Immortals of his lineage. A moment later, he nodded with satisfaction after receiving a response, then turned to everyone and said, "I have notified several fellow disciples. They will come together to meet He Fengyang and, by the way, give those Demonic Path Gu Immortals an unexpected counter-ambush!"
On Immortal Crane Sect's side, everyone expressed agreement with Tiger Demon Senior's arrangements. Led by Tiger Demon Senior, they decided to dispatch four Rank Six Gu Immortals. Such a powerful lineup was undoubtedly to ensure that they could capture those three arrogant Demonic Path Gu Immortals alive in one fell swoop... "It's actually true!" He Fengyang was horrified in his heart. He suddenly felt as if he was in a different battlefield space, making it impossible for outsiders to discover the scene within.
The intelligence Liu Chen sold him immediately flashed through his mind. Although Liu Chen had sworn by it at the time, He Fengyang was still somewhat skeptical. However, now trapped in a battlefield killer move, he finally understood that he had indeed fallen into an ambush.
"Who dares to attack me? I am He Fengyang of Immortal Crane Sect!" He Fengyang roared angrily, his voice echoing in this dark space, carrying a hint of fear and anger.
As his voice fell, the entire sky instantly changed. The originally clear sky instantly became dark and lightless, with mist pervading, as if the entire world was shrouded by a mysterious veil.
In the mist, vengeful spirits flew everywhere, emitting shrill howls that sent shivers down one's spine. The terrifying scene of the battlefield killer move was fully displayed at this moment, making people shudder.
Immediately after, two Gu Immortals appeared like ghosts in front of He Fengyang, sandwiching him between them. The figures of these two Gu Immortals were shrouded in a layer of mist, making it impossible to see their appearance and physique, and even their Aura was tightly concealed.
"What if it's Immortal Crane Sect?" The Gu Immortal in front said coldly, a hint of disdain in his voice.
The Gu Immortal behind immediately interjected, "We'll still kill them!"
"There are only two! And one is hidden, this is truly a complete Demonic Path act!" He Fengyang secretly thought. He had originally expected to face three Gu Immortals, but now he only saw two, which instantly raised his vigilance several times.
The intelligence Liu Chen sold him clearly stated there would be three Gu Immortals, but now one was missing, which undoubtedly made the situation even more perilous. Although Servitude Path Gu Immortals usually excel at fighting multiple opponents, He Fengyang never believed he had the ability to fight three on his own, let alone with a hidden Gu Immortal. This was truly too dangerous.
Just then, Tiger Demon Senior's voice suddenly came from the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu: "Fengyang, you stall them for a bit, try to probe their true strength. If you really can't win, immediately use the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu, and then we can break their battlefield killer move. By then, those Demonic Path Gu Immortals will be at our mercy."
Hearing Tiger Demon Senior's instructions, He Fengyang felt a little relieved. With the support of reinforcements, his confidence immediately increased significantly.
However, he did not show it on the surface but deliberately feigned a look of shock and anger, so as not to let the other party see through his true thoughts.
The two Gu Immortals looked solemn, continuously forming hand seals, instantly erupting with a powerful Aura.
As they activated their killer moves, waves of fire rose like Fire Dragons, roaring towards He Fengyang; sound explosions were like thunder, deafening, as if to tear through the Void Realm; ice thorns shot out like sharp arrows, glinting coldly, making people shiver.
However, facing such a fierce offensive, He Fengyang showed no fear. His mouth curved slightly, revealing a confident smile, then he waved his hands, and countless Immortal Cranes surged out from behind him. These Immortal Cranes had various forms, some sped like lightning, some were hard as steel, some were hot as flames, and some were ethereal as clouds.
He Fengyang's control over these Immortal Cranes was exquisite. With a thought, these Immortal Cranes, like well-trained soldiers, quickly formed an impenetrable defense line, tightly surrounding the two Gu Immortals within it.
The killer moves of both sides collided fiercely in the air. For a time, fire splashed, ice shards flew, and sound explosions roared, a magnificent sight. However, what was surprising was that He Fengyang actually held his own in this fierce battle, even gaining a slight advantage.
"Damn it, how much longer are these two Gu Immortals going to hide?" He Fengyang cursed inwardly.
He had already seen these two use killer moves from various Daos, but the power of these killer moves was only mediocre. Clearly, they had not used their trump cards but were hiding their true combat strength.
However, He Fengyang was not worried, because he had the crane group as an aid. These Immortal Cranes were not only numerous but also unique, cooperating seamlessly with him. With their help, even facing a war of attrition against these two Gu Immortals, He Fengyang had enough confidence to cope.
"Go to hell!" He Fengyang suddenly shouted, deliberately exposing a flaw. The two Gu Immortals, seeing this, thought there was an opportunity and immediately launched a fierce attack. However, they did not know that this was just a trap set by He Fengyang.
Just as the two's attacks were about to hit He Fengyang, he suddenly flickered, cleverly dodging the blow. At the same time, the Immortal Cranes that had originally surrounded the two Immortals quickly closed in like hungry tigers pouncing on prey, trapping the two Immortals tightly in the middle.
"Haha, you fell for it!" He Fengyang laughed triumphantly, "Now, you have nowhere to run, prepare to die!"
"You're celebrating too early!" Along with this angry shout, a powerful wind pressure suddenly struck, like a fierce giant Dragon roaring and sweeping over.
It was a Wind Dao killer move—Wind Dragon Whip! The wind whip was in hand, a hundred zhang long, like a giant python dancing in the air, emitting bursts of howling sounds. With the owner's swing, the wind whip lashed out. Wherever it passed, the flying cranes were easily torn to shreds like paper, their feathers flying everywhere.
At the same time, a Poison Dao killer move—Bee Swarm Sting! also poured down like a torrential rain. Thousands of fine, hair-like poisonous stings densely covered the entire sky, like a black poisonous cloud. The toxicity of these poisonous stings was so fierce that any flying crane hit by them instantly died, their bodies falling like raindrops.
However, just then, the entire battlefield suddenly underwent an astonishing change. The Soul Beasts that had been hidden in the mist now appeared one after another, their figures flickering in and out of sight in the mist, exuding an eerie Aura. Even more shocking was that the killed flying cranes instantly transformed into Soul Beasts, rejoining the battle.
This sudden change instantly reversed the battlefield situation. He Fengyang, who had originally held the advantage, was suddenly at a disadvantage in the face of so many Soul Beasts.
"This is Soul Hunting Battlefield!" He Fengyang was startled when he saw this. He finally recognized the true nature of this battlefield killer move. Soul Hunting Battlefield was an extremely powerful battlefield killer move that could summon a large number of Soul Beasts and also transform dead creatures into Soul Beasts to continue fighting.
"Lord Hu Mo, these two are Wind Dao and Poison Dao Gu Immortals. This battlefield killer move is Soul Hunting Battlefield. The hidden Gu Immortal has not appeared yet. I am going to use the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu!" He Fengyang made a decisive decision to activate the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu and call his fellow Immortal Crane Sect disciples to join in a righteous group beating.
"Hahaha, you're doomed!" He Fengyang's laughter echoed in the air, carrying a hint of madness and excitement. He eagerly activated the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu within him.
However, his emotions underwent a drastic change at this moment. The usually cautious him now became unusually high-spirited, which was completely different from his usual personality.
"The hidden Gu Immortal is an Emotion Dao Gu Immortal. He influenced your emotions, be careful!" Tiger Demon Senior, leading the Gu Immortals of Immortal Crane Sect, appeared beside He Fengyang. His voice revealed a hint of urgency.
He Fengyang was startled by the words, but it was too late to think further. As the Tuo Yu Immortal Gu was activated, his body was already unable to dodge, and the surrounding space seemed to be distorted.
The hidden Emotion Dao Gu Immortal, holding a dagger-shaped Immortal Gu, stabbed towards He Fengyang.
"How dare you attack my Immortal Crane Sect! Just wait to be ground to dust!" Tiger Demon Senior roared. His body trembled violently, instantly transforming into a sword-toothed tiger with ice-blue and snow-white fur.
This sword-toothed tiger was massive, its muscles bulging, its pair of sword teeth like sharp ice blades, glinting with cold light, exuding a chilling Aura that made one's heart palpitate.
It was actually an Ancient Desolate Beast, the Ice-fanged White Tiger!
