"Although there are many Gu Immortals present, our sect calculated correctly and gained the upper hand. According to the rules, the nine ancient sects should stand by. If not the Gu Immortals of the nine sects, which demonic path Gu Immortal would dare to defy the world and meddle in my Immortal Crane Sect's affairs?"
In an instant, Fairy Cang Yu's thoughts raced like lightning.
At the same time, her slender fingers moved swiftly, preparing to activate a killer move in response.
But the next moment, He Fengyang stopped her: "Wait, Fairy."
With that, he pulled Cang Yu aside, revealing the broken entrance to the Fox Immortal's blessed land.
The lightning ignored them and plunged through the opening into the Fox Immortal's blessed land.
Seizing the opportunity, Cang Yu saw the true nature of the lightning: "Is that an earth calamity—Charming Blue Lightning?"
He Fengyang smiled slightly: "This is the earth calamity aimed at the Fox Immortal's blessed land. After Fang Yuan cut off a large part of his blessed land, he cast it out along with it. Who would have thought that this Charming Blue Lightning didn't dissipate and instead lurked on Heavenly Ladder Mountain."
"Excellent. Charming Blue Lightning has formidable combat power, roughly mid-tier six. With it leading the charge, it'll make things easier for us." Cang Yu's brows relaxed, and she smiled.
"That kid Fang Yuan is decisive, truly a figure. He directly abandoned a quarter of his blessed land. But it's a pity his strength is insufficient; no matter how much he schemes, it's useless."
He Fengyang sighed and stepped into the Fox Immortal's blessed land together with Cang Yu.
As soon as they entered, a force of heaven and earth pressed down on them, attempting to seal all the mortal Gu in their possession.
But immediately, an orange-yellow glow rose from both He Fengyang and Cang Yu.
This was the residual effect of the seventh-turn My Su Immortal Gu left on them, allowing mortal Gu to function normally without suppression from the blessed land.
Cang Yu closed her eyes, then after a few breaths, opened them again: "We are in the western part of the Fox Immortal's blessed land. Charming Blue Lightning has headed straight for Soul Searching Mountain in the center."
He Fengyang nodded: "Just as I expected. The safest place in the Fox Immortal's blessed land is Soul Searching Mountain. Charming Blue Lightning's primary target is the owner of the blessed land. The original Fox Immortal was caught off guard and killed by it. Since it's heading straight for Soul Searching Mountain, it means Fang Yuan is hiding there. Let's follow it."
"Good. I've long wanted to see what the legendary Soul Searching Mountain looks like." Cang Yu chuckled lightly.
"With Charming Blue Lightning in the lead, we can also uncover any ambushes." As He Fengyang spoke, he activated the Expand Universe Immortal Gu and used another immortal killer move to seal the breach in the blessed land behind them.
"It's the immortal killer move, Close Door and Bolt It."
"Immortal Crane Sect is so stingy, they won't even let us watch."
"In this battle, if Immortal Crane Sect loses, we'll take over whether they close the door or not. If they win, we'll retreat whether they open it or not. Letting us watch wouldn't affect the outcome."
"Hmph, they're projecting their own pettiness onto others. Do they really think we're driven by greed?"
Outside Heavenly Ladder Mountain, the Gu Immortals from the nine great sects of Central Continent were also communicating through divine sense.
"Old Man Bi, what do you think are the chances of Immortal Crane Sect's success?" Zhang Wenjiu asked casually.
"Quite high. Though we've secretly obstructed and suppressed Immortal Crane Sect, only allowing them to spare two Gu Immortals to reclaim the Fox Immortal's blessed land, but they are still two Gu Immortals, and they've made use of Charming Blue Lightning. The one controlling the Fox Immortal's blessed land, Fang Yuan, is merely a mortal youth. How can he possibly resist Immortal Crane Sect?" Old Man Bi replied.
"I don't think so. According to our Spirit Butterfly Valley's investigation, Fang Yuan refined Fixed Immortal Travel in the Three Kings Blessed Land and came here alone. But how is that possible? How could a mortal refine an immortal Gu? And how did he know about the Fox Immortal's blessed land? There's clearly a mastermind behind him. Since he could snatch the Fox Immortal's blessed land like pulling a tooth from a tiger's mouth, then the forces guarding it must be considerable. They might be able to withstand Immortal Crane Sect's attack," said Color Butterfly Fairy Han Caixin.
"Fairy's words are not without reason," Gu Immortal Du Teng chuckled. "If Immortal Crane Sect fails this time, do we fight here on the spot to decide the winner, or shall we wait for a later negotiation among the ten sects?"
That was a key question, and the nine Gu Immortals fell silent.
"Of course we negotiate later. We are the ten ancient sects, not hyenas scrambling for food," Guan Caoze from Ten Thousand Dragons Dock immediately spoke up.
Among the Gu Immortals present, Guan Caoze had the weakest combat power. Fighting on the spot would put him at the greatest disadvantage.
"This is no good, no good," Azure Luan Boy shook his head.
"Cut through the mess quickly. It's just a blessed land. Settle it today to avoid wasting time!" Blazing Sun Grandpure feigned ignorance.
"Odd, didn't your Ten Thousand Dragons Dock's Fierce Thunder Evil Man just finish his seclusion? Why did they send you to compete for the Fox Immortal's blessed land?" Du Bo Luxu sneered, directly targeting Guan Caoze's weakness.
The Gu Immortals quickly decided: if Immortal Crane Sect failed, they would fight on the spot to determine ownership of the blessed land. If Immortal Crane Sect succeeded, they would also have a battle to decide the order and immediately negotiate the trade of Courage Gu with Immortal Crane Sect.
Courage Gu can increase a sect's resources and even helps Gu Immortals. No single sect can monopolize it; the other nine apply pressure, and they have to sell whether they want to or not.
"You all..." Guan Caoze fumed, but in his heart, he was also sneering.
While the nine Gu Immortals schemed among themselves, inside the Fox Immortal's blessed land, He Fengyang and Cang Yu were slowly flying towards Soul Searching Mountain.
"Is this a blood pond?" On the way, He Fengyang looked down in surprise.
He spotted a massive blood pond in the Fox Immortal's blessed land, large enough to be called a blood lake.
"Hmph, another remnant of the Blood Path!" Cang Yu frowned with disdain.
