Fang Yuan transmitted his voice secretly: "Ancestor Thousand Transformations, stop chasing me. I can find a way out. Let me lead you through, and you give me the variant Immortal Gu as payment. How about it?"
Ancestor Thousand Transformations sneered and replied: "Hmph, wishful thinking! You open the path and return the Immortal Gu, and my brother and I will spare your life."
After his initial fury subsided, he also considered Fang Yuan's act of seizing the Gu — it proved the man had confidence. The earlier rage was genuine, but the later fury was mostly an act.
The Grand Myriad Transformation Formation had been broken. Ancestor Thousand Transformations wanted to escape this place, and using Fang Yuan's help was the best option.
Even if he couldn't leverage Fang Yuan's help, he still couldn't let the man escape.
If Fang Yuan really got away, leaving him to fight Heaven's Court to the bitter end until he was completely exhausted — even if he managed to slip away eventually, that insidious devil Fang Yuan would probably ambush him halfway.
Ancestor Thousand Transformations was far-sighted, thinking far beyond the immediate battle. That was why he pursued Fang Yuan relentlessly, determined to stay close no matter what.
As for the Myriad Image Palace, even if it was abandoned within the Overturning Heaven and Earth killing move, it would only be temporary.
Once he got out, he could attack the four Gu Houses outside the killing move.
The four Gu Houses sustained the Overturning Heaven and Earth move, making them the move's greatest weakness. Once they were attacked and disrupted, the battlefield that Heaven's Court had painstakingly created would be riddled with flaws and gaps, impossible to patch.
For a time, Fang Yuan, Ancestor Thousand Transformations, and Heaven's Court chased and blocked one another, with all manner of methods emerging endlessly, their combined might shaking heaven and earth.
In the shadows, they engaged in constant psychological warfare — schemes against counter-schemes, plots against counter-plots.
After this stalemate persisted for a while, the three Heaven's Court Gu Immortals' expressions suddenly changed.
From outside the battlefield, a massive force charged in — numerous Gu Immortals, including Eighth Transformation experts, and as many as four Gu Houses! The leading palace was majestic as a mountain, solemn and dignified, its green bricks and golden tiles emanating the rich, fresh scent of verdant growth. If it wasn't the Bean Divine Palace, what could it be?
The one commanding the Bean Divine Palace was none other than the Fang Family's Grand Elder Second, Fang Dichang!
Beside him stood Fang Gong, Fang Huasheng, and other Fang Family elites.
Immortal Killer Move — Myriad Life Spring Thunder!
Without a word, Fang Dichang immediately commanded the Bean Divine Palace to bombard them with a continuous stream of emerald thunderballs.
The emerald thunderballs struck Heaven's Court's four Gu Houses, causing them to shake violently as countless vines sprouted and continuously infiltrated their interiors.
Heaven's Court's formation fell into chaos.
"The Bean Divine Palace!" Seeing Immortal Venerable Yuan Lian's treasure being used against them — now it was the Heaven's Court Gu Immortals' turn to see red.
"These people are from the Western Desert Righteous Path!"
"How did they get here?"
"Not all of the Western Desert Righteous Path came — only the Fang, Tian, Dong, Shi, and Tang Families."
The Heaven's Court Gu Immortals quickly identified the source of this force.
Ever since Fang Dichang had refined the Bean Divine Palace, the Fang Family's predicament had been resolved, and their momentum of rise had become unstoppable.
As long as the Bean Divine Palace was revealed, the Western Desert Righteous Path would surely recognize reality and change their stance.
Fang Dichang had seized the opportunity to operate in secret, quietly contacting the Western Desert Righteous Path.
To coordinate with his main body's actions, he needed to be swift while also maintaining secrecy.
So in the end, he had only rallied four great families: Tian, Dong, Shi, and Tang.
This force was already enough to turn the tide of the battle!
Heaven's Court was caught completely off guard — their strategy had been strong on the inside but weak on the outside. The Bean Divine Palace displayed terrifying power, and Heaven's Court's four Gu Houses trembled continuously, completely at a disadvantage.
The Overturning Heaven and Earth killing move was also severely disrupted, unable to be maintained perfectly.
"Didn't expect this to be so convenient!" Fang Yuan laughed heartily and escaped through the gaps to the outside world.
"You're not going anywhere!" Ancestor Thousand Transformations pursued relentlessly.
Fang Yuan turned back with a cold laugh: "You really think I'm afraid of you?"
The Chariot of Ten Thousand Years abruptly reversed course. The Daybreak Flying Swords swept out like light, like a waterfall, slashing fiercely.
Ancestor Thousand Transformations roared again and again, but he couldn't overcome the full-power assault of this Eighth Transformation Gu House and was knocked back into the Overturning Heaven and Earth killing move.
He was trapped once more.
"I'll be leaving!" Fang Yuan laughed clearly, and the Chariot of Ten Thousand Years tore through the sky, quickly vanishing.
