Seeing that Fang Yuan had actually broken free of his encirclement and ambush and entered the Hall of Falling Blossoms, the legendary ancient soul beast Qing Chou roared with fury again and again, his eyes brimming with bloodshot veins. His killing intent boiled to its absolute peak, as though he could devour any living being that crossed his path.
His hatred for Fang Yuan was not something that had developed over time—it was innate.
His very formation had been born from the remnant soul fragments of the Qing family's Gu Immortal and a bone-deep, sky-high hatred for the soul—a burning desire for vengeance.
Therefore, even though he possessed human rationality, when faced with Fang Yuan—and unable to kill him—the thirst for revenge in his heart completely overwhelmed everything else.
Inside the Bean God Palace, green light flickered as it pressed down toward Qing Chou. But Qing Chou ignored it entirely, continuing to frantically drive the Bean God Palace, ramming it straight toward the Hall of Falling Blossoms.
"Master, I can't hold on much longer…" The Ghost of Defeated Armies sent out a miserable cry for help.
"Kill him! If you can't kill him, then you can all die!" Qing Chou roared.
Both the Ghost of Defeated Armies and the Eagle Maiden's faces changed drastically. They had never before seen their master Qing Chou this furious, this consumed with hatred toward a single person!
The overwhelming tide of hatred practically crashed over them like a wave, sending chills down their spines and making them instinctively want to flee.
But the two of them were bound to Qing Chou's command, unable to resist. All they could do was grit their teeth—the former driving his ancient soul beasts forward, the latter charging up an Immortal killer move—as they both surged toward the Hall of Falling Blossoms.
The moment Fang Yuan had entered the Hall of Falling Blossoms, he had become the only target on Qing Chou's side. Naturally, they attacked it.
The enemy came bearing down with tremendous force. Fang Anlei piloted the Hall of Falling Blossoms, retreating swiftly to evade.
This Seventh Transformation Immortal Gu House was slightly faster than Fang Yuan's own flight speed, but it could not compare to the Supreme Heavenly Eagle.
The ancient soul beast with twin black serpent wings was gradually left behind, but the flying spider ancient soul beast was extraordinarily fast, drilling straight toward the Hall of Falling Blossoms' roof.
At the same time, the Eagle Maiden gave a light shout from a distance, her hands dancing wildly in hawk-claw strikes. Swish swish swish—innumerable claw marks, sharp as steel, instantly burst forth in a torrent, raining down upon the Hall of Falling Blossoms like a violent storm.
There was no room for the Hall of Falling Blossoms to dodge now, but Fang Anlei did not panic. She had long since prepared herself.
She called out to Fang Leng and Fang Yun: "You two control the Hall of Falling Blossoms' flight. I'll drive the killer move to fight them off."
As she spoke, the Hall of Falling Blossoms, under her activation, erupted with radiance as pure white as snow.
The surface of the Hall of Falling Blossoms had originally been covered with countless intricate flowers in bloom, giving it the appearance of a house made of flowers. Now, every last one of them withered away.
The snow-white light condensed, gradually forming upon the roof of the Hall of Falling Blossoms into a single enormous blossom.
This flower was three sizes larger than the roof itself, each petal shaped like a mirror lens, refracting brilliant glints of light. With a clear, bell-like chime, the blossom fully opened—exquisitely, breathtakingly beautiful.
Immortal Killer Move—Mirror Flower!
The ferocious claw marks hurtling toward the Hall of Falling Blossoms had just about to strike its surface when the Mirror Flower on the rooftop suddenly unleashed a tremendous suction force.
Clang clang ding dong!
In a rapid cascade of crisp sounds, every last one of those pitch-black claw marks was sucked into the Mirror Flower.
After absorbing all the claw marks, many of the Mirror Flower's petals withered and shattered, but the dozen or so that remained slowly folded back together, forming a bud once more.
Just then, the Bean God Palace closed in.
The battered bud of the Mirror Flower bloomed once again, spitting out every single claw mark it had absorbed.
The claw marks slammed into the Bean God Palace, instantly erupting into countless dazzling bronze sparks.
The Bean God Palace's charge was halted. The Hall of Falling Blossoms seized the recoil from launching the claw marks and surged forward, its speed spiking dramatically as it opened the gap between itself and the Bean God Palace.
"No good! That flying spider soul beast is about to bore its way in!" Fang Yun suddenly shouted.
The Hall of Falling Blossoms had temporarily repelled the Eagle Maiden and the Bean God Palace's assault, but the flying spider had seized the advantage of its tiny size, latching onto a corner of the Hall of Falling Blossoms and burrowing in with all its might.
The Hall of Falling Blossoms was, after all, an Immortal Gu House—offensive and defensive in one. The flying spider had yet to even break through the outer surface, still far from reaching the core.
But in truth, the situation was extremely dangerous.
Because once it breached the surface, the flying spider could enter the interior.
