Chapter 38: 88 True Yang Building
The rest of the events played out just like Fang Yuan's previous life like Hei Lou Lan defeating Dong Fang Yu Liang, Ma Hong Yun meeting Zhao Lian Yun, Hei Lou Lan meeting Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Hei Lou Lan defeating Liu Wen Wu and becoming Lord of Imperial Court.
Northern Plains, end of December.
"Imperial Court blessed land!" Hei Lou Lan could not conceal his excitement, he took three steps as one step as he ascended the ice ladder, becoming the first person to enter the Imperial Court.
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building…" Fang Yuan was the second person, his gaze became solemn as he took calm strides in.
After that, Tai Bai Yun Sheng, Hao Ji Liu and other high level experts went in.
About an hour later, the entire Hei tribe army had entered Imperial Court blessed land. The ice ladder broke apart, as the red city gate closed itself.
The light ring shrunk into one dot, and vanished.
"They have all entered." The Gu Immortals observed in secret retracted their helpless and nostalgic gazes.
When Fang Yuan opened his eyes, the scene before him had completely transformed.
The sky was light gold in color, the land was like spring, with green agricultural terraces, there were gentle streams flowing, and low-lying mounds, one could see far and wide in this boundless plains.
This was a serene and peaceful world, forming a great contrast to the blizzard outside.
This was northern plains' greatest utopia — Imperial Court blessed land, it opens every ten years, as a reward to the lord of northern plains.
Fang Yuan looked around and found that he was alone.
"I am finally in here." Fang Yuan regulated his breathing, the Imperial Court contest was only a prelude, what was truly important was the following events.
He tried activating eagle rise Gu, his crystal purple primeval essence moved according to his will, entering the eagle rise Gu.
The strong eagle wings flapped lightly and brought Fang Yuan into the air.
After flying for an hour, past numerous towers, Fang Yuan was provoked by a giant python on a small valley.
He remembered that there was a Gu Master inheritance here, he quickly looted it and moved towards the sky.
Several days later.
Fang Yuan reached the sacred palace.
"What's that thing flying in the sky?"
"Wolf King has arrived!"
"Just like what the information said, that should be the azure wolf group."
Fang Yuan's arrival attracted the attention of the Gu Masters inside the sacred palace.
The moment Fang Yuan's myriad wolf king touched the ground, the escort Gu Master came to greet him: "Lord Wolf King, you have arrived. It is my honor to bring you into the city. Your place of residence is on the eighth level, we have already prepared the room for you."
"Mm, no rush, bring me around the place first." Fang Yuan said lightly, getting off the azure wolf. As a form of respect to Giant Sun Immortal Venerable, Gu Masters were not allowed to ride their steed inside the sacred palace, they could only walk.
"As you wish lord, this is my honor."
Fang Yuan followed the escort Gu Master into the sacred palace.
In the following days, Fang Yuan lived in seclusion, cultivating as he waited for True Yang Building to open.
During this period, Hei Lou Lan sent people to invite him, and revealed the intention to recruit him.
To join Hei tribe, and become an external elder?
Towards this suggestion, Fang Yuan said he needed to consider it. Although he showed a moved expression, he would definitely refuse this in this heart.
Half a month later, there was a water-like ripple in the golden sky.
The entire land started shaking.
Out of nowhere, there was wind as a piercing light shone at the peak of the sacred palace.
The light lasted for forty-five minutes, as it gradually dispersed. A tower appeared at a previously barren area.
Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!
Three days later, the aurora gathered into one point and starting taking form.
The first layer of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building had formed!
Hei Lou Lan went in excitedly, several hours later, he returned in a pathetic state, wounds covering his body.
His injuries were not light, but they could not conceal the shock in his eyes.
During the second expedition, he brought many Hei tribe Gu Masters.
Bam!
Hei Lou Lan raised his leg, kicking his tribesman Hei Qi Sheng to the ground.
"Useless thing!" The black fatty cursed, the muscles on his face twitched as he revealed a ruthless and savage gaze.
The hall was silent, all of the Hei tribe Gu Masters did not dare to speak a word.
Hei Lou Lan was called 'Black Tyrant', it was due to his famous ruthless and cruel personality. Especially when he was obstructed six times by the 54th round, his anger was ignited like a barrel of gunpowder.
"Lord tribe leader, it was my inability, I deserve death!" Hei Qi Sheng sprawled on the ground, begging for forgiveness while prostrating.
"Idiot! Why is there such a useless idiot in our Hei tribe?!" Hei Lou Lan gritted his teeth, kicking Hei Qi Sheng several times. Seeing that he was coughing blood due to the kicks, Hei Lou Lan's anger subsided slightly.
The surrounding elders were silent, not daring to say a word.
Last time, the elders who pleaded for Hei Qi Sheng were beaten until they received heavy injuries by Hei Lou Lan, they were still bedridden now.
"You are also all idiots, useless trash! Why are you all standing here? Speak, tell me a good method to break through the 54th round. Otherwise, I will dock your salary. The tribe does not feed useless people! I gave you primeval stones, I gave you a luxurious life, raising your status, what was it all for?
Now is the time to perform your duties!!" Hei Lou Lan screamed, the windows were shaking from the force of his voice.
Hei Lou Lan stared and looked around, fixing his gaze on elder Hei Pei.
As the most senior and experienced first elder Hei Pei, he gritted his teeth and walked out, bowing in respect: "Lord, the way I see it, this 54th round is a test of enslavement path, it is very difficult and it cannot be passed without master level enslavement attainment. Although elder Hei Qi Sheng is an enslavement path Gu Master that we nurtured, he is not a master.
To pass this round, we need Lord Wolf King's strength."
"Hmph, you are asking me to seek outside help? You want to let the whole world see us, Hei tribe, as a joke, as a weakling that needs outside reinforcements?" Hei Lou Lan's gaze was filled with ruthlessness as he screamed fiercely.
Hei Pei's heart was shivering, but he bowed deeply and responded: "Lord tribe leader is strong and intelligent, you are an amazing leader, the Lord of the Imperial Court. With your presence, whoever dares to think that Hei tribe is useless would be the number one fool in this world. This is not outside reinforcement to be exact.
This Wolf King Chang Shan Yin is part of the alliance army, he is your subordinate. Using him for this is but natural. I am sure Chang Shan Yin would be very grateful to lord, after all, he is an outsider but he is given the chance to enter True Yang Building, it is his greatest honor."
Hei Lou Lan heard this and his angered expression softened.
Hei Lou Lan walked slowly, he was very indignant.
Currently, he had two guest tokens, they were obtained from the 12th and 46th rounds respectively as a reward from True Yang Building.
It was not that he did not want to waste the tokens, but once he invited Wolf King, the reward for clearing the 54th round would go to Chang Shan Yin.
If it were his tribesmen, Hei Lou Lan could use the authority of the tribe leader to make all of the rewards his. But according to the rules, these rewards should be given to the reinforcement.
Hei Lou Lan walked for several steps, sighing lightly.
Hei Lou Lan stopped walking: "Where is Hei Shu?"
"Subordinate is here." Hei Shu was standing outside the hall, he was Hei Lou Lan's personal Gu Master attendant, hearing Hei Lou Lan's summon, he came in to greet him.
"Go invite Wolf King here." Hei Lou Lan instructed.
Hearing this, the elders in the hall sighed in relief. Hei Qi Sheng who was lying on the ground relaxed his body — this nightmare was over!
"Yes, lord tribe leader." Hei Shu left after receiving his orders.
Not long after, Hei Shu reported back with an apologetic look: "Lord tribe leader, Lord Wolf King is not in the sacred palace, he is out feeding his wolves."
"What?" Hei Lou Lan's volume became louder, his brows were raised as his calm expression showed anger again.
The elders were terrified, the first elder Hei Pei accused Hei Shu: "You junior, you do not know how to do your job. Even if Wolf King was not around, how could you return empty-handed? Could you not send a letter over, and state your intention, that Wolf King would come crawling back immediately!"
"Lord, it was not my fault!" Hei Shu cried out innocently: "I already sent a letter over, but Wolf King replied already. He said that he was leading his wolves to hunt, it was a habit and he did not want to cut it in the middle. He wants us to wait, if we cannot wait, we can call Tang Miao Ming and the others instead."
At once, everyone was shocked.
First elder Hei Pei stared with his eyes wide open, he did not believe it: "How can anyone be so indifferent? Did he really say that?!"
"I have concrete evidence! Lord tribe leader, this is the letter Gu that Wolf King Chang Shan Yin sent back!" Hei Shu said, handing a star letter Gu to Hei Lou Lan.
