Hei Lou Lan currently possessed a large number of immortal gu, but in reality, more than half of them were lent to her by Liu Chen. However, this did not affect her currently incomparably powerful combat strength at all; compared to the original work, it had already increased by more than several times! Especially after witnessing Fang Yuan's unprecedented Ten Thousand Selves killer move, Hei Lou Lan had worked even harder and devoted herself to painstaking research.
Unfortunately, her attainment in Servitude Path, which she specialized in, was far too low, so she had no choice but to opt for a gradual approach to steadily increase her strength.
"It seems many Gu Immortals have gathered near this place. I wonder what everyone's thoughts are on this?" Liu Chen turned to look at the three people beside him and asked.
"Most of these Gu Immortals belong to the Demonic Path camp, and some are even the Dongfang Tribe's own Gu Immortals. They are likely also here for Dongfang Changfan's Legacy; we must be careful and stay on guard," Fairy Li Shan replied without hesitation.
"Oh? So that's how it is..." Liu Chen frowned slightly upon hearing this and nodded in agreement. Immediately after, with a thought, he let out a soft shout: "Let me see just how many enemies are hidden here!"
"Immortal Path Killer Move — 'Kites Soaring to the Heavens'"
In an instant, hundreds of paper kites whistled out from his immortal aperture like arrows released from a bowstring. They seemed to possess life of their own, flying and circling nimbly in the air before sweeping out in all directions like a tide.
This killer move was obtained by Liu Chen from the Legacy of the Confidence King and had been used and continuously improved ever since. After adding the Phantom Immortal Valley, he had even upgraded it into an Immortal Path Killer Move!
The paper kites flying all over the sky formed a dense, massive cloud that dazzled the eyes. Some of these paper kites were real, while others were phantoms, but whether real or fake, they could all exert a scouting effect.
This Phantom Immortal Valley, although a Dark Path immortal gu, contained the power of the Void Path. Ordinary attacks simply could not cause any damage to it; instead, one could easily be confused by the phantoms within and fall into a predicament.
"Has someone lost their patience? Why so impulsive, causing such an earth-shattering commotion the moment they appear!" That Valley Immortal hidden in the shadows with a Rank Seven cultivation — Zizai Scholar — witnessed Liu Chen and the other three, as well as the world-shaking investigative killer move they had unleashed, and a sense of vigilance couldn't help but rise in his heart: It seemed the strength of this new batch of Valley Immortals entering the valley was not to be underestimated!
Zizai Scholar acted decisively, immediately activating a sharp and peerless killer move. A dazzling grey-white light suddenly shot out, yet to his utter astonishment, this grey-white light could not dissolve those sky-filling paper kites into nothingness at all! "It's actually an Immortal Path level killer move! As expected of someone with deep pockets and a lavish hand!" he marveled inwardly, his figure swaying as he made it difficult for the paper kites to catch up.
Seeing this investigative killer move with its astonishing power, the other Valley Immortals also did not dare to be negligent, one after another performing their own trump card abilities. Some chose to directly clash with those paper kites using fierce and overbearing methods, while others took a different approach, attempting to evade the kites' tracking by concealing their tracks once more... "Fellow Daoist has good methods!" Fairy Li Shan saw through the profoundness of the paper kite killer move at a glance and immediately realized it was an extremely high-level investigative killer move.
Hearing Fairy Li Shan's praise, Liu Chen smiled slightly and then continued: "This Dongfang Changfan's Legacy is indeed extraordinary. No wonder it could attract a total of thirty-three Valley Immortals to come and compete for it! Moreover, there are four Rank Seven Valley Immortals among them; we must also go all out to deal with them!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Fairy Li Shan, the other two, and everyone else present felt their hearts shake violently! One must know that before this, the three of them had already conducted a meticulous investigation of this place, but even Fairy Li Shan, who had the deepest attainment in Information Path, had only discovered thirty Valley Immortals.
However, what was unexpected was that Liu Chen actually possessed such unfathomable Information Path methods that he could detect more information than she could, even being able to clearly distinguish the specific cultivation Realms of those Valley Immortals!
"This Dongfang Changfan has always been famous in Northern Plains for his superior resourcefulness and is honored as the 'Number One Wisdom Path Expert in Northern Plains'. Just the ingenious method of hiding the Wisdom Path Inheritance in Dongfang Yuliang's mind is enough to make a group of Valley Immortals hesitate to act for fear of damaging the vessel." At this moment, Fang Yuan was salivating over this much-coveted Wisdom Path Inheritance.
After all, he had now become an Immortal Zombie with rigid thinking. If he could truly obtain a complete Wisdom Path Inheritance, he would surely be able to reverse the current situation.
"Hidden below is a teleportation valley formation that can only transport Mortals. If a Valley Immortal tries to forcibly activate this Formation, not only will they fail to teleport, but they will also completely erase all traces related to this Formation." Liu Chen had long been aware of this teleportation valley formation. While manipulating the paper kites for reconnaissance, he had paid extra attention to this spot, so he had easily discovered it.
"A teleportation valley formation?" Hearing this news, Fairy Li Shan couldn't help but be extremely surprised. Clearly, she had been completely unaware of it.
Although the other companion, Fang Yuan, had also failed to notice the existence of that teleportation valley formation, he did not hesitate to ask: "Since Fellow Daoist has already made a discovery, you must have a good plan in mind to solve the problem, right?"
At this time, Hei Lou Lan, who had been silent, suddenly uttered a ruthless remark: "Since we've found the teleportation valley formation, let's just finish off that Dongfang Yuliang once and for all! That way, we can eliminate future troubles and prevent him from having the chance to obtain the Legacy." As she spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in Hei Lou Lan's eyes, clearly showing her murderous intent.
However, Liu Chen immediately shook his head and rejected the idea: "This must absolutely not be done! If we really do that, I'm afraid it will have a huge impact on the entire Legacy. At that time, we'll become the target of everyone! In my opinion, the best way right now is to stay still and wait for the right moment... As for that teleportation valley formation, just leave it to me to handle."
Ever since the Royal Court Blessed Land was destroyed, everyone thought that Dongfang Yuliang had already Died, but who could have imagined that he had miraculously survived! It turned out that Dongfang Changfan had used Valley Immortal methods to successfully save his life and had taken him in as a Personal Disciple.
Not only that, Dongfang Changfan had also done his best to cure Dongfang Yuliang's sister's chronic illness, which could be said to be a kindness as heavy as a mountain.
Even more moving was that when his own life was in critical danger, Dongfang Changfan did not hesitate to pass on all his lifelong learning and precious Legacy clues to Dongfang Yuliang. As long as the latter could withstand multiple trials, he would have the hope of obtaining the complete and intact Legacy mantle.
Because of this, Dongfang Yuliang embarked on a journey to this extremely dangerous place — Taqiu — without looking back.
Along the way, there were many hardships and dangers, but he never retreated a single step. Relying on the life-risking protection and support of the Dongfang Tribe's Elders, Dongfang Yuliang finally arrived at his destination and successfully activated the teleportation Formation hidden here.
In an instant, his figure and the two surviving Elders vanished into thin air without a trace.
Seeing Dongfang Yuliang and the others being teleported away like that, the many Valley Immortals who had been watching coldly from above could no longer suppress the restlessness in their hearts.
One must know that they had traveled thousands of miles to come here for nothing other than Dongfang Changfan's coveted peerless Legacy. Now, seeing the cooked duck fly away, if they let an obscure Mortal steal the spotlight, where would their dignity be? They immediately dove down, their target being that teleportation valley formation.
