"Not good — a large group of Southern Border Gu Immortals led by Wu Yong has suddenly appeared near the Undefeated Blessed Land!" In the great hall of the Heavenly Court, Ziwei Fairy's expression abruptly changed as she cried out in alarm.
"Oh? So they've finally shown up." Dragon Duke's words were casual and indifferent, remaining seated in the main seat without the slightest change in expression.
Ziwei Fairy took a deep breath, her brows tightly furrowed, feeling an unusual pressure weighing down on her.
The Southern Border Gu Immortals' actions this time were remarkably united, unlike the various four-region Gu Immortals from before who had scattered and caused chaos in different directions. Most critically, the target of their assault was of paramount importance — the Undefeated Blessed Land itself!
If the Undefeated Blessed Land were to fall, it would be catastrophic for the Heavenly Court. All the fruits of the Gu Refinement Conference, which had been forced through at such tremendous cost, would be seized by the Southern Border immortals.
"Stay calm. The leaking of the Undefeated Blessed Land's location was among the scenarios we anticipated. For that reason, we long ago deployed a super immortal formation in the vicinity. The initiative in the greater situation still rests in our hands, and everything is proceeding according to plan." Dragon Duke ordered.
Ziwei Fairy respectfully acknowledged the order. She activated her methods, and the scene of the Undefeated Blessed Land immediately materialized within the great hall.
Then, after a moment of hesitation, she secretly sent a message to Wu Yong: "Wu Yong, don't forget that you once cooperated with our Heavenly Court in secret. If you wish to continue serving as the Southern Border Alliance Leader, you should know what to do."
Upon receiving the message, Wu Yong let out a cold laugh, a flash of disdain passing through his heart. "The mighty Ziwei — even as a great wisdom-path expert, her vision is nothing more than this."
He couldn't even be bothered to reply to Ziwei Fairy's message.
Nearly all of his concentration was focused on his own killing move.
Immortal Path Killing Move — Infinite Wind!
Dark green gale-force winds erupted abruptly, sweeping in all directions.
Quickly the wind grew, forming a tornado like a pillar reaching to heaven, carrying rumbling sounds like thunder, charging forward with terrifying momentum. Along its path, it uprooted ancient trees and sent boulders flying — its power majestic and unstoppable!
Seeing the tremendous wind bearing down with clear hostile intent, the Heavenly Court Gu Immortals guarding the area could only sigh and increase their efforts to power the super immortal formation.
Creak. Creak.
The luminous halo condensed by the formation was relentlessly ground down by the Infinite Wind, soon emitting sounds of being pushed beyond its limits that made one's scalp tingle.
The Central Continent Gu Immortals hastily activated methods within the formation, but any technique aimed at weakening the Infinite Wind proved to have limited effect.
"It's useless. I've never deployed this move lightly, because it consumes tens of thousands of wind-path dao marks on my body. However, with such a cost, it will blow on endlessly — only special methods can counter it." Wu Yong spoke, his expression calm, though a sharp, cold light flashed in his eyes.
"Such resolve, such willpower..." Witnessing this scene, Ziwei Fairy, far away in the Heavenly Court, could only sigh deeply in her heart.
Wu Yong had paid such a price to unleash the Infinite Wind, revealing his unshakeable resolve and fighting spirit.
Wu Yong appeared middle-aged, with ordinary features and a sturdy build, his narrow eyes adding a touch of sinister air to his bearing. At this moment he stood at the forefront of all the immortals, proudly reigning in the vast sky, leading the host of immortals, his presence awe-inspiring.
Ziwei Fairy committed his image deeply to her heart, and she realized she had still underestimated this person.
Wu Yong of the Southern Border!
An unrivaled titan!
He possessed the courageous blood of the Wu family, yet also bore the quality of patience and endurance. When Wu Duxiu was in power, he remained obscure, hiding his talents and biding his time — even Wu Duxiu had looked down on him, only understanding his own son's capabilities on his deathbed.
When he first came to power, the Southern Border was in turmoil, with everyone pressuring the Wu family, and vast swaths of territory were lost. Wu Yong relied on his own strength, along with the Jade Clear Dripping Wind Bamboo Tower, to turn the tide.
After the Great Dream Battle, Wu Yong once again risked everything by cooperating with the Heavenly Court to retrieve the Immortal Gu of the Southern Border immortals, then returned every single one of them — this act brought him tremendous prestige!
At the Five Elements Mountain Range, he had attempted to eliminate Fang Yuan but met with minor setbacks. However, afterward, even though Lu Weiyin held the title of heir to the Land of Bliss, he ultimately could not compete with Wu Yong, who was eventually appointed as the Alliance Leader of the Southern Alliance.
Now, at the most critical moment of the Heavenly Court's efforts to repair the Fate Gu, Wu Yong led numerous elites of the Southern Alliance to strike decisively, disregarding Ziwei Fairy's threats.
Because he understood deeply what truly mattered in the grand scheme!
He absolutely could not allow the Heavenly Court to once again possess a complete Fate Gu!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Infinite Wind continued to blow and grind against the grand formation. The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals guarding the site tried numerous methods, all with negligible effect. This move was truly formidable — Wu Yong's most hidden trump card, now making its public debut for the first time. Setting aside the Heavenly Court's side, even the Southern Border immortals who witnessed this wind showed one after another expressions of shock, with wariness and fear hidden beneath their looks of pleasant surprise.
Soon, a breach was torn open in the grand formation. Wu Yong beckoned: "Everyone — now is the time to put your lives on the line! Follow me and charge in!"
The Southern Border immortals filed in one after another. The Heavenly Court Gu Immortals on guard grew tense: "They're inside! Quick, activate the second layer of the formation!"
The Southern Border immortals suddenly found everything before them changed as azure light burst upward, transforming into countless pink flying petals spinning rapidly, covering sky and earth by the billions, enveloping the Southern Border immortals.
A Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal stepped forward. His beard bristled like halberds, his bearing fierce and mighty — he was the pillar of the Tie family, named Tie Gange.
He possessed Peak Seventh Transformation combat strength. Facing the formation's assault without a shred of fear, he let out a tremendous shout. Golden light flickered around him as dense ranks of golden halberds condensed into existence.
"Go!" Countless halberds, like a torrential downpour, crashed into the rushing stream of flying petals.
Under the clash, the petals and golden weapons exploded into pink and golden fragments of light.
The formation's attack carried the power of the Eighth Transformation, yet Tie Gange actually managed to hold firm, not falling to a disadvantage for a time.
Standing right beside him was Chi Quyou, an Eighth Transformation Gu Immortal and great expert of the Formation Path, continuously calculating the flaws of this formation. In this assault, Chi Quyou would undoubtedly play an enormous role.
After a few breaths, the golden halberds were gradually pressed back by the overwhelming torrent of petals. The Seventh Transformation Gu Immortal Shang Que stepped forward.
He extended his palm, and suddenly a hole burst open in its center. A powerful suction erupted, drawing in a great deal of the petal rain.
