"The upper-grade Heavenly Eagle actually escaped. How could this happen?" In Heaven, the Purple-Violet Fairy, relying on the Constellation Chessboard, quickly discovered the situation during the day.
She furrowed her elegant brows, a sharp gleam flashing through her eyes.
"Is it Luck?"
A guess surfaced in her mind.
She thought of the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building. The real culprit behind its collapse was Fang Yuan. What were the chances Fang Yuan had inherited the Giant Yang True Inheritance?
"It's a pity my investigative killer move can only mark the positions of Fang Yuan and his group, not observe their current circumstances."
The Purple-Violet Fairy sighed, then activated the Constellation Chessboard again.
The next moment, the chessboard displayed another scene within the River of Time.
Feng Jiuge and the Yellow History Immortal had already flown together to the vicinity of a tributary of time.
"This time tributary has a considerable scale, big enough for you to enter and exit," Yellow History Immortal smiled, pointing ahead. "In a moment, I will activate an Immortal Killer Move to send you out. Do not resist."
Feng Jiuge nodded, offering an elegant bow. "I trouble you."
Yellow History Immortal was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed.
"Is that tiger-form Primordial Ancient Year Beast chasing us again?" Feng Jiuge's expression also shifted slightly.
"No!" Yellow History Immortal stared intently into the distance. On the surface of the River of Time there, a thick mist had suddenly risen.
"How strange. When does mist ever form in the River of Time?" Feng Jiuge frowned.
Yellow History Immortal, however, looked visibly excited, his eyes filled with immense anticipation. "Such thick mist... could it be..."
Just then, the two saw a shadow suddenly appear within the dense fog.
The shadow flickered in and out of sight, obscured by the thick mist, very indistinct.
Yellow History Immortal's expression grew even more excited, while Feng Jiuge remained thoroughly bewildered.
Soon, a fluctuation in the mist lifted a corner of the enormous shadow within. This allowed Feng Jiuge to see the shadow's true form.
"It looks like a stone island?"
"Correct! That is the Stone Lotus Island, the legendary location of the Red Lotus True Inheritance!" Yellow History Immortal's voice trembled slightly.
Although the Red Lotus Demon Venerable and Heaven were irreconcilable enemies, he was the absolute peak in the Path of Time, unmatched by anyone. For Yellow History Immortal, who specialized solely in the Path of Time, the attraction of the Red Lotus True Inheritance was immeasurably great.
"You stay here. I'll be right back." With those words, Yellow History Immortal shot away like lightning, his speed inconceivably fast.
However, the entire dense fog seemed to possess a spirit of its own. The closer Yellow History Immortal tried to get, the further the fog retreated.
After struggling for a good while, not only did Yellow History Immortal fail to close the distance to the fog, he actually became more separated from it.
A moment later, the entire fog dissipated, and the mysterious stone island within it vanished without a trace.
Yellow History Immortal returned, looking utterly dejected, his expression very poor.
Even the Purple-Violet Fairy in Heaven, who had been observing this scene, was filled with disappointment.
But soon, she frowned again.
She fell into deep thought: "Why did the Stone Lotus Island suddenly appear? Was it because Fang Yuan detonated a time tributary? But Yellow History Immortal and Feng Jiuge had long since moved away from that location. And the more crucial question is, how does one enter the Stone Lotus Island? Must one possess the Spring Autumn Cicada as a key?"
In the Southern Border, the Wu Family's main base.
A super Gu formation had already been constructed.
Wu Yong stood before the Gu formation, inspecting it for a long while before slowly nodding with a satisfied expression.
He said to a Wu Family Supreme Elder beside him, "Elder Wu Bei, you have worked hard."
"Benefiting the family is naturally my duty; it is not hard work." Elder Wu Bei's attitude was respectful and humble.
Among the Wu Family's Gu Immortals, he specialized in the Path of Formations.
Not long ago, he had even replaced Fang Yuan in guarding the super Gu formation.
After the battle at the Reverse Flow River, Fang Yuan returned from the Northern Plains, used a scheme to sideline Wu Bei again, and himself re-entered the super Gu formation.
Supreme Elder Wu Bei, because of this, had actually avoided disaster, not participating in the Dream Battle.
In this battle, the Southern Border's Righteous Path Gu Immortals suffered considerable losses. Even the Immortal Gu that had been taken out to construct the super Gu formation were swept away by Heaven at one point.
However, not long ago, Wu Yong's hunt and siege of Fang Yuan had failed, but he had reached a secret agreement with Heaven.
Wu Yong had let Feng Jiuge go, and in return, Heaven handed over all the swept-away Immortal Gu directly to Wu Yong.
Wu Yong returned to the Southern Border's Righteous Path and gave back every single one of these Immortal Gu without keeping any, returning them to their rightful owners.
This action directly pushed his prestige to the pinnacle of the Southern Border's Righteous Path!
The various major families of the Southern Border all felt deeply moved by Wu Yong's benevolence and righteousness. Not only had he successfully negotiated with Heaven, but after the negotiation, he didn't covet a single Immortal Gu, returning them all, which earned their immense admiration.
Furthermore, after Wu Yong revealed his Eighth Transformation Immortal Gu House, the Jade Clear Wind-Dripping Bamboo Tower, and displayed his formidable combat power in the battle at the Purple Blood Primordial River Array, the Southern Border's major powers were all very wary of him.
Therefore, despite failing to eliminate the Shadow Sect remnants, the situation of the Wu Family had undergone an earth-shattering change.
The various major families that had previously encroached on Wu Family resources now voluntarily withdrew from the territories they had taken, and even subtly offered some compensation.
The Qiao Family, as a vassal force of the Wu Family, also had their territories, which had been swallowed by the Ba and Xia families, voluntarily returned to them, riding the wave of the Wu Family's newfound prestige.
Wu Yong, of course, was not satisfied with this outcome. In the days since his return, he had been managing the overall situation, negotiating with the various major powers, striving to make them yield even more benefits.
