As expected of Dongfang Changfan's scheme, seamless and meticulously crafted. He had already calculated today's situation. Even in death, he left a difficult problem for these Gu Immortals.
In the eyes of these startled Desolate Beasts and Ancient Desolate Beasts, the Gu Immortals were all intruders.
Originally, they inhabited Tai Qiu, each having their own territory, coexisting peacefully. The intrusion of Dongfang Yuliang and the others was like a few butterflies or birds flying into their courtyard — it wouldn't disturb them.
But to the Gu Immortals, it was as if bandits had broken into their home, so they naturally became alert, prepared to use their full strength, and might even join forces to protect the territory of Tai Qiu.
For the human race, Tai Qiu was one of the Ten Great Danger Zones of the Northern Plains. But for these Desolate Beasts and Ancient Desolate Beasts, the Ten Great Danger Zones were the only Ten Great Blessed Lands, a rare habitat that humans could barely touch.
For a moment, looking at the sheer number of Desolate Beasts surging towards them, the Gu Immortals all felt a sense of hesitation, as if afraid to break a treasured vase while throwing a stone at a rat.
Although they outnumbered the Beasts and were powerful, they were not united. Instead, due to the Wisdom Path inheritance, they were wary of each other and found it difficult to cooperate sincerely.
Moreover, they absolutely could not have a full-on battle with the Desolate Beasts.
Once a large-scale battle erupted, the shockwaves of the chaos would affect Tai Qiu, destroying the remaining traces of the Gu Teleportation Formation, making it even harder for the Gu Immortals to track.
Naturally, no one who could achieve the cultivation of a Gu Immortal was a fool.
Dongfang Changfan's intention was so obvious that they all understood it in an instant.
These Desolate Beasts, and even the Ancient Desolate Beasts, were not the main issue.
They must not tangle too much with these beasts. They couldn't afford to lose the trail.
Break through them, find the traces as soon as possible, and then follow the vine…
The Gu Immortals were still flying towards the location where the Gu Teleportation Formation was buried. But they still had to slow down.
The Desolate Beasts were a big problem, but the surrounding Gu Immortals were an even greater threat. If it were convenient, these demonic Gu Immortals would certainly not mind eliminating their competition around them.
Roar! A very fast Desolate Beast encountered a female Gu Immortal.
This female Gu Immortal was at the sixth rank, named He Ruo. She was known as the Peacock Flying Immortal, and was highly skilled in the Transformation Path. She cursed loudly, feeling indignant. But she couldn't blame anyone else; she could only blame her own bad luck for choosing a poor position.
Seeing the Desolate Beast charging at her, she did not fight. Instead, she suddenly transformed into a blurry blue-grey giant bird. Flapping her wings, she quickly fled from the Desolate Beast, flying towards the crucial location.
The Desolate Beast could not catch up, so it turned its gaze to the nearest unlucky fellow.
The blue-grey giant bird quickly overtook the other Gu Immortals, becoming the Immortal closest to the critical location.
Naturally, there was a Gu Immortal who would not sit idly by.
"A mere Mortal Killer Move, and you dare to show off?" Waves surged, and a seventh rank Gu Immortal, stepping on a gigantic wave, blocked the blue-grey giant bird.
This Gu Immortal's aura was majestic. But he was so thin that bones were visible, his skin was wrinkled and clung tightly to his bones, covered in distinct blue veins.
Seeing this person, caution flickered in the eyes of most Gu Immortals around.
This was the seventh rank Gu Immortal Pi Shuihan, a demonic cultivator who had mastered both the Ice Path and the Water Path, and had been famous for a long time.
The Peacock Flying Immortal He Ruo, seeing Pi Shuihan blocking her way, did not dodge or retreat. Instead, she let out a light cry, and a wave of Immortal Gu aura burst forth.
He Ruo activated the Immortal Gu, and the blue-grey bird she transformed into instantly became clear and distinct from blurry.
In the blink of an eye, the blue bird's size increased by a third, and three long golden and orchid-colored peacock tails grew from behind it. Its speed surged, and it bypassed the blockade of the water waves, continuing to fly towards the Gu Formation.
Pi Shuihan was caught off guard, but instead of getting angry, he laughed, his tone sarcastic: "So you did attend the Northern Plains Auction, and now you think you have the capital to act tough, huh? Hehe."
Saying this, he raised both arms high.
With two loud crashes, monstrous waves rose from nowhere, like two tall walls, once again blocking the blue bird.
Pi Shuihan, without slowing down, stepped on the rapid current and chased after He Ruo.
He Ruo did not dare to fight Pi Shuihan. She flapped her wings and quickly rose into the air. But no matter how high she rose, the water waves in front of her also rose just as high.
Pi Shuihan let out cold laughs, rapidly closing in.
However, He Ruo had no intention of fighting, she only wanted to escape, so Pi Shuihan could do nothing to her in a short time.
Just as the two were locked in a stalemate, a figure suddenly shot out from the other side like a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder.
This person was tall and sturdy, with bronze skin, his body wreathed in electric light, and his speed was even a bit faster than He Ruo's. Fang Yuan, finding the figure familiar, activated his thoughts and recognized him as the Heavenly Capital Divine Lord.
This Immortal cultivated the Lightning Path. Once, together with the Lice Marquis, he had gone to the Zombie Alliance zombie Gu Ye and forced him to sell three hundred catties of Wilted Essence for an Immortal Essence Stone.
The Heavenly Capital Divine Lord saw Pi Shuihan and He Ruo in a chase, and seeing an opportunity, immediately activated a movement killer move, shooting forward.
Soon, he surpassed everyone, becoming the first person closest to the Gu Teleportation Formation.
"Hahahaha!" The Heavenly Capital Divine Lord looked at the Gu Formation getting closer and closer, and in his joy, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Slow down, Divine Lord." Accompanied by a slow, deliberate voice, a white-robed scholar suddenly appeared before the Heavenly Capital Divine Lord.
"Ah, the Free and Unfettered Scholar!" Upon seeing this person, the Heavenly Capital Divine Lord's expression changed drastically, and he sharply reduced his speed.
He knew he was no match for the seventh rank Gu Immortal, the Free and Unfettered Scholar, and hurriedly shouted: "Lice Marquis, come quickly and help me!"
The Lice Marquis's eye twitched violently, and he was forced to reveal himself from beside the Heavenly Capital Divine Lord. He was a burly man, huge and shaggy-haired, holding a human skull in his hand.
The Heavenly Capital Divine Lord let out a fierce roar, pushed his palms forward, and sent a raging thunder dragon flying out.
At the same time, the Lice Marquis also activated a Mortal Killer Move, blasting it towards the Free and Unfettered Scholar.
