"You're so eager to see me, it seems you're truly courting death." Chi Quyou sneered.
"It's the Supreme Grand Elder! We're saved!" The Chi family Gu Immortal guarding Phoenix Flame Mountain felt his heart settle, and he cheered.
"I was waiting specifically for you. I wonder if you're interested in the dream path results I've obtained?" Fang Yuan suddenly transmitted via private message.
Chi Quyou was slightly taken aback.
The next moment, Fang Yuan pointed with a finger. The Immortal Gu killer move, Yama Battlefield, instantly formed and enveloped Chi Quyou.
Chi Quyou felt a slight shock in his heart but quickly regained his composure, even leisurely examining the battlefield around him. "So this is the battlefield that trapped Feng Jiuge?"
Fang Yuan laughed. "Senior Chi must be meaning to say, this is the Immortal Battlefield that Fairy Ziwei deciphered?"
The Heavenly Court had not only exposed information about Fang Yuan's Great Thief Ghost Hand through the Treasure Yellow Heaven, but they had even made public Fairy Ziwei's understanding of the Yama Battlefield and the method to break it.
Therefore, with this as a reference, Chi Quyou wasn't worried about his own safety. He wasn't even anxious at all; as a grand master of the formation path, he could easily hole up in the Yama Battlefield and await reinforcements. Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was short on time. If he got bogged down here by Chi Quyou, allowing other Southern Border Righteous Path Gu Immortals the chance to form an encirclement, that would be dangerous.
There is no invincible Gu in the world, only invincible Gu Immortals. Fixed Immortal Travel had many aspects that could be countered.
In comparison, what gave Chi Quyou a bigger headache was that Fang Yuan would break free from here and continue his guerrilla warfare, constantly harassing the Chi family's major resource points. That would be much more troublesome.
"Senior Chi, perhaps you should look at this as well." Fang Yuan tossed over a communication mortal Gu.
Chi Quyou examined it and, seeing it was indeed a communication mortal Gu, probed it with his mind. His gaze flickered slightly.
The content recorded in this communication mortal Gu detailed the grand formation the Chi family had set up on Phoenix Flame Mountain. As a formation master who also had access to the Wisdom Gu's halo to aid in calculation, deriving this information was not difficult for Fang Yuan.
Chi Quyou instantly understood Fang Yuan's meaning.
According to the information in the communication mortal Gu, Fang Yuan could have completely dismantled and destroyed the protective Immortal formation on Phoenix Flame Mountain, but he had deliberately held back, luring Chi Quyou here.
Chi Quyou nodded slightly. "You truly are a genius. Your attainment in the formation path is surprisingly profound. No wonder that child Chi Shang had such a high opinion of you."
Chi Shang, the Formation Maniac, was a rising star among the Chi family's Gu Immortals, highly regarded by Chi Quyou, who believed he would become a grand master of the formation path in the future. Before, when Fang Yuan was disguised as Wu Yihai, he had interacted with Chi Shang and established a good relationship. As for later, when Fang Yuan's identity was exposed and he was hunted everywhere, Chi Shang had also publicly declared he was severing ties with Fang Yuan, becoming his sworn enemy.
Fang Yuan laughed, his gaze sharp and intense as he looked at Chi Quyou. "What if I told Senior Chi that my attainment in the formation path was obtained from within dreams? What would Senior Chi think of that?"
"Oh? Is that true?!" Chi Quyou was visibly moved. He looked Fang Yuan up and down again from afar, his tone carrying a hint of doubt as he asked, "You truly wish to trade with me?"
Fang Yuan countered, "Why would I not wish to trade with you? I need dream realms, but the dream realms in the Southern Border are all protected by grand formations, and they are all the work of the Chi family. I am willing to use the results of the dream path in exchange for the Chi family's cooperation. To show my sincerity, please look at this."
Fang Yuan tossed out another communication mortal Gu. Chi Quyou caught it and looked, his eyes flashing with sharp light. His hand unconsciously tightened its grip on the mortal Gu, afraid it might suddenly fly away.
The content regarding the dream path held unparalleled temptation for Chi Quyou. He delved into it eagerly and quickly finished reading the content.
When he raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan again, the expression on his face had changed once more.
"This thief Fang Yuan, truly worthy of inheriting the Shadow Sect and using the Spring Autumn Cicada to be reborn! The dream path content he casually threw out already far surpasses the sum total of our Southern Border Righteous Path's painstaking exploration!"
"And moreover, the content here is clearly only a small portion. It feels incomplete, as if there's more to come. Some things aren't even clearly explained, just glossed over vaguely."
As these thoughts ran through his mind, Chi Quyou's heart was already beating wildly with temptation.
