Led by Fang Yuan, the group arrived before the Mei Lan Movie.
At this moment, the Mei Lan Movie was locked in a fierce aerial battle with the Iron Crown Eagle. The petite blue figure clashed against the colossal body of the wild beast Iron Crown Eagle, giving as good as it got in an evenly matched contest.
Hei Lou Lan grew even more puzzled. “The Gu Immortal you speak of… could it be the Mei Lan Movie?”
Fang Yuan smiled without speaking.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s eyes flickered. “Now that you mention it, this Mei Lan Movie is indeed somewhat abnormal.”
“That’s right.” A look of caution appeared on Immortal Li Shan’s face. “Logically speaking, the Mei Lan Movie is a natural disaster and earthly tribulation. Its primary target should be the owner of the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land, which is you, Fang Yuan. Yet it’s locked in fierce combat with these wild beasts, without showing any sign of attacking us.”
Hei Lou Lan chimed in, “No wonder I always felt something was off. When the wild beast ambush was exposed earlier, this Mei Lan Movie seemed startled, stopping its roars and quieting down. This Mei Lan Movie is very strange. I’m afraid its origins are not legitimate!”
“Hehehe.” Fang Yuan laughed heartily and said, “There was nothing wrong with the Mei Lan Movie before, but after I expelled it from the blessed land, it was taken advantage of by a certain Lightning Path Gu Immortal, who captured it and refined it into a clone killer move. Later, when the Immortal Crane Sect attacked my blessed land, this Gu Immortal took the opportunity to drive the Mei Lan Movie in, simply to fish in troubled waters. If the Immortal Crane Sect failed, this Gu Immortal could act as the representative of his sect and make the first move. Am I right in my analysis, Fierce Lightning Villain of the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock?”
“How did you know it was me, Fierce Lightning Villain?!” The Mei Lan Movie could no longer pretend. It abandoned the Iron Crown Eagle and flew before Fang Yuan.
The Iron Crown Eagle pursued, but Fang Yuan waved his hand. The eagle let out a cry and spread its wings, flying away.
“The Fierce Lightning Villain of the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock?” Hei Lou Lan and Immortal Li Shan exchanged glances. They both knew of the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock. Like the Immortal Crane Sect, it was one of the Ten Great Ancient Sects of the Central Continent. However, who exactly the Fierce Lightning Villain was, they were not entirely sure.
Only Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s eyes flickered. Since coming to the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land, through Fang Yuan’s introductions and his own intelligence gathering, he had learned a great deal about the Central Continent’s Gu Immortals.
“The Fierce Lightning Villain is a Rank Six Gu Immortal who has passed the second heavenly tribulation. He once had the proud achievement of fighting a Rank Seven Gu Immortal to a standstill. However, he went into secluded meditation a few years ago and has not shown himself in the Central Continent in recent years.” Tai Bai Yun Sheng introduced.
“Fought a Rank Seven Gu Immortal to a standstill?” A glint flashed in Immortal Li Shan’s eyes.
Hei Lou Lan gave a proud and arrogant snort.
The Mei Lan Movie swept its gaze across the group, but ultimately locked its gaze firmly on Fang Yuan. “Who exactly are you people? This immortal killer move of mine was the result of several years of secluded meditation, pondering how to increase my battle strength. A year ago, I learned of a Mei Lan Movie lingering at the Heavenly Stairway Mountain, so I secretly made my move and captured it. A few months ago, my immortal killer move was finally perfected, which allowed me to refine this Mei Lan Movie and make it my own. I only told this secret to a handful of people. For you to have grasped such detailed intelligence… speak! Who exactly are you?”
Fang Yuan snorted, his tone turning hostile. “Fierce Lightning Villain, you have a fearsome reputation, but we are not afraid of you. You must have spent a considerable price to refine this Mei Lan Movie into your clone. I am in a rather bad mood right now. You had better be careful, or I might just kill this Mei Lan Movie of yours in a fit of anger. What can you do to me then?”
The Mei Lan Movie was immediately enraged, letting out a great roar that exposed its violent temper. “You dare! I am a Gu Immortal of the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock! Don’t think you can continue to be arrogant. Occupying the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land is only temporary. Once your identities are exposed, it will be time for us Ten Great Ancient Sects to clean up you wandering demonic cultivators!”
“Oh? Is that so…” A shady glint flickered in Fang Yuan’s eyes. “You witnessed the entire transaction just now. We have already become the vassal of the Immortal Crane Sect, and both sides have sworn an oath. Even if your entire Ten Thousand Dragon Dock wants to make a move against me, you must first cross the hurdle of the Immortal Crane Sect. Oh, that’s right. Just now, the Immortal Crane Sect’s He Feng Yang was attacked. The mastermind couldn’t be you, could it? Could it be your Ten Thousand Dragon Dock?”
“Bullshit! The Ten Great Ancient Sects are all connected in spirit! Even if we openly scheme and covertly fight, how could we be as depraved and lawless as you wandering demonic cultivators?!” The Mei Lan Movie said furiously.
Fang Yuan chuckled without speaking, his gaze drifting towards Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan, being a domineering figure just like him, immediately cooperated with tacit understanding. She feigned a sudden realization and said, “Fang Yuan, your thoughts make a lot of sense. The Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land, Soul Soothing Mountain, and Courage Gu represent enormous interests. Assassinating He Feng Yang would force the Immortal Crane Sect to violently attack us. By the time both sides suffer heavy losses, the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock can loot the burning house.”
“Bullshit! Bullshit! How can your father be such a villain!!” The Mei Lan Movie was furious, roaring repeatedly.
Hei Lou Lan sneered darkly. “But the timing of your appearance is just too coincidental. He Feng Yang attacked the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land. How could the outside world know what happened inside the blessed land? Why was He Feng Yang assassinated the moment he left the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land? It must be that you acted as his eyes and ears, informing your main body through some method, allowing it to manipulate the situation and set up the ambush.”
Hei Lou Lan gave full play to her dark thoughts, and her words actually stunned the Mei Lan Movie for a moment.
But it quickly came to its senses, becoming furious from embarrassment and vehemently retorted, “The Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land is a world of its own. Unless I use an immortal killer move, I cannot communicate with my main body on the outside. But if I use an immortal killer move, the fluctuations would be so intense, how could you possibly not detect them?”
“But there was a moment when the portal of the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land was opened, connecting the inside and outside as one. It was at that very moment that you seized the opportunity to communicate with your main body.” Hei Lou Lan immediately retorted.
“Screw off! Bullshit! Your father is an open and honest man! Do you think I’m that kind of person? No, no, I was almost led around by the nose by you strange women. What does He Feng Yang’s assassination ambush have to do with me, this Mei Lan Movie, acting as a whistleblower? Even if the other party didn’t know what happened in the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land, they could still ambush He Feng Yang. There is no causal relationship between the two!” The Mei Lan Movie roared.
Hei Lou Lan said in a sinister, low voice, “Whether there is a relationship or not, we don’t care. We will report this intelligence to the Immortal Crane Sect. You can explain it to the Immortal Crane Sect properly.”
“Go ahead and tell them! Your father walks upright and sits straight. Will I be afraid of such slander?” The Mei Lan Movie tried to put on a brave front.
At this moment, Tai Bai Yun Sheng spoke up. “Oh! I just thought of something. Isn’t the Jun Tian Sword Sect trying to become independent in the territory recently controlled by the Immortal Crane Sect? There have long been rumors that the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock is the hidden backer behind this matter of the Jun Tian Sword Sect. Hehe, I see it now. Killing He Feng Yang would allow the Immortal Crane Sect to focus most of its energy on violently attacking our blessed land. This would make the Jun Tian Sword Sect’s independence much easier. Once the Jun Tian Sword Sect pledges allegiance to the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock and becomes its vassal, then the northwestern territory of the Immortal Crane Sect will be righteously swallowed up by the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock. By that time, even if the Immortal Crane Sect manages to conquer the Fox Immortal’s Blessed Land, its strength would certainly be greatly diminished. When it finally turns to deal with the Ten Thousand Dragon Dock’s affairs, it would not only be too late, but also lacking in capability.”
Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s words stunned not only the Mei Lan Movie, but even Fang Yuan turned his head to look at him.
Although Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a nice old man of a kind nature, he was ultimately old and experienced. His words were like a finishing blow, hitting the vital spot of the Fierce Lightning Villain’s throat.
