Chapter 50: Saving Dang Hun Mountain
"Master, you are finally back!" Little Hu Immortal was already waiting before the stargate and when Fang Yuan appeared, she immediately jumped towards him and hugged his leg, rubbing it with her cute rosy cheeks.
"Hehe, you have worked hard during these days when I was not here." Fang Yuan smiled warmly and lightly stroked Little Hu Immortal's head.
"This is… a land spirit? So this is a blessed land!" Tai Bai Yun Sheng stepped out of the stargate closely after Fang Yuan, and was startled at seeing Little Hu Immortal.
"Haha, this blessed land's name is Hu Immortal blessed land. I seized it forcibly from several sects of central continent, under master's order." Fang Yuan proudly replied.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze immediately changed.
There was a difference between immortal and mortal, but right now, he was looking at Fang Yuan as an equal, asking: "I would assume that the process of snatching this blessed land was very dangerous, right?"
"Naturally, even now when I think of it, I still have some lingering fear." Fang Yuan laughed heartily, "But in the end, winner takes all, everything is just that simple. I obtained the blessed land, becoming the final winner. The greater the risk, the greater the profits!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded, sighing inwardly: this profit is simply too immense!
"Master, who is he? His aura is strong." Little Hu Immortal sensed Tai Bai Yun Sheng brimming with Gu Immortal aura. She could not help but be tense, gripping on Fang Yuan's pants, appearing somewhat nervous and on guard.
"Relax, he is on our side, and is here to help us save Dang Hun mountain." Fang Yuan comforted Little Hu Immortal, "Take us to Dang Hun mountain."
Little Hu Immortal's eyes brightened upon hearing this. She trusted her master's words unconditionally.
She immediately let down her guard and disappeared on the spot, taking Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng with her.
The next moment, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were teleported to the center of the blessed land, the location of Dang Hun mountain.
"Master, if you arrived any later, you would not have been able to see Dang Hun mountain." Little Hu Immortal said with a sorrowful voice.
Fang Yuan lightly petted her head, then looked towards Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was a smart man and from this scene along with Fang Yuan's previous words, he could guess Fang Yuan's intention in bringing him here.
He nodded towards Fang Yuan, before taking out landscape as before Gu from his aperture.
Immediately, the surging aura of an Immortal Gu filled the surroundings.
"This is?" Little Hu Immortal's bright eyes opened wide upon this first encounter with landscape as before Gu.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave a soft shout; a bead of green grape immortal essence turned into a stream of light that instantly poured into landscape as before Gu.
The Immortal Gu suddenly burst out with green jade light that soared to an extreme height, giving off a radiance that people could not look at intently.
The light radiance covered the remaining Dang Hun mountain.
The corrosion of Gruel Mud on Dang Hun mountain immediately paused under the illumination of the green light. Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's power was quickly neutralized and then vanquished.
The small mound sized Dang Hun mountain started to grow and strengthen at a visible speed under the radiance.
"Dang Hun mountain is changing back!" Little Hu Immortal clapped her little hands, prancing around happily.
But the good scene did not last long, Dang Hun mountain only recovered by twenty percent when the green light weakened again.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng's expression changed slightly: "What kind of mountain is this? It actually exhausted a green grape immortal essence!"
Fang Yuan smiled: "Dang Hun mountain."
"Dang Hun mountain?" When Tai Bai Yun Sheng heard the name, his expression underwent a great change, his eyes opened wide and he spoke with a shocked tone, "Could it be?"
"It is indeed the one in <
"To think, to think I would actually be able to see the legendary Dang Hun mountain! This is the sacred land of soul path cultivators that Spectral Soul Demon Venerable had praised endlessly." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was extremely moved as he kept on exclaiming in admiration.
When he glanced at Fang Yuan, Tai Bai Yun Sheng's gaze had another subtle change.
He did not say anything else but quietly used a third bead of immortal essence to maintain the activation of landscape as before Gu.
This time, Dang Hun mountain was restored to forty percent before the green light dimmed.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng used a fourth bead, then a fifth bead and finally a sixth bead before Dang Hun mountain fully recovered.
"It is truly Dang Hun mountain, requiring six whole beads of green grape immortal essence to recover completely." Tai Bai Yun Sheng mumbled while looking at the tall mountain in front of him.
"Mast… Master, Dang Hun mountain's disease has been treated." Little Hu Immortal's eyes had turned red, "Sob sob sob…."
She cried tears of joy, before lowering her head and using her delicate little hands to wipe the tears.
"Let's go, back to northern plains." Fang Yuan came and left just as quickly, with Tai Bai Yun Sheng in tow.
Before leaving, he handed burial soul toad to Little Hu Immortal.
When they returned to Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, the starlight firefly Gu supporting the stargate were already spent by over half; Fang Yuan quickly stored what remained into his aperture.
"We are back again." Tai Bai Yun Sheng was deeply moved.
The fifteen year lifespan Gu was in his pocket. He was no longer worried and guilty. He chose to believe Fang Yuan, not only because Fang Yuan explained everything and there were not many pieces of evidence he could contest, but even more importantly —
In the very depths of his heart, he wanted to believe in Fang Yuan!
"Here, your Immortal Gu." Tai Bai Yun Sheng tossed Fixed Immortal Travel and flying bear phantom Gu to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan nonchalantly accepted them; this casual attitude towards Immortal Gu caused another ripple in Tai Bai Yun Sheng's heart and trust.
But he received a great shock when Fang Yuan brought out the glass owner token, as at the next moment, he appeared in another round.
Tall and ancient trees were everywhere. Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were within a dense forest.
Within a few moments, Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng were surrounded by treemen one after another.
the next moment, Fang Yuan lightly waved his glass owner token, and this round immediately became under his control.
The treemen stopped moving forward, their killing intent gone as if it was never there.
While Tai Bai Yun Sheng was wearing a stupefied expression, Fang Yuan grabbed his arm and directly teleported in front of Hei Lou Lan and Ma Hong Yun.
There was already an enormous change in the situation here.
Frost Jade Peacock was half-lying on the ground, with Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun turtling up under its wings. Surrounding it were layers after layers of treemen unfolding mad attacks.
Hei Lou Lan was fighting nearby with false emotion fake will Gu resting on his shoulder.
He blocked the attacks of the treemen while also launching attacks at Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun at the same time.
But these attacks were blocked by the light barrier from Frost Jade Peacock before they could even reach their targets.
"Lord Hei Lou Lan, you are also being attacked by the treemen, your situation is the same as ours! We have neither hatred nor grievance between us, why must you try to kill us?" Ma Hong Yun shouted.
Hei Lou Lan snorted: "Didn't you hear what old ancestor said? Your girl is an otherworldly demon with a mysterious background and will be a cause of endless disasters, she must be eliminated! Who knows if she and the Chang Shan Yin impersonator are on the same side! Old ancestor was about to attack her just earlier, but suddenly disappeared due to some mishap.
You have Giant Sun's bloodline, you are a person of northern plains; you are actually not able to distinguish right and wrong, you dare to shield an otherworldly demon!"
Ma Hong Yun was furious and immediately retorted: "She is not an otherworldly demon that you all claim, she is innocent! Lord Hei Lou Lan, don't waste your strength in vain, we have already received the land spirit's recognition; with the land spirit with us, you can't kill us!"
When Giant Sun's will was thrown out of the tower, this round did not have any controller and operated by itself; the treemen treated the land spirit, Ma Hong Yun and others as challengers challenging the round.
Hei Lou Lan wanted to kill Zhao Lian Yun in place of Giant Sun's will. Ma Hong Yun was ready to give up his life to save her, which strongly shook Zhao Lian Yun's heart and she started feeling true love for him.
Ma Hong Yun had already treated Zhao Lian Yun with earnest feelings; the two loved each other, and the land spirit acknowledged them as its masters by its own accord.
Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng appeared on the crown of a treeman, observing the battle situation.
"It is you!" Hei Lou Lan quickly sensed the distant Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng; his eyes opened wide as he swiftly jumped back like he was facing a great enemy.
His eyes twitched and his heart had already sunk.
Giant Sun's will had suddenly disappeared, and the mysterious man impersonating Chang Shan Yin appeared with Gu Immortal Tai Bai Yun Sheng standing beside him, and the two seemed to have a very close relation at that! This was extremely unfavorable to Hei Lou Lan.
"What do we do now?" Tai Bai Yun Sheng asked calmly while casting a glance towards the gloomy Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan sneered: "We need Imperial Court blessed land's land spirit, Frost Jade Peacock's strength to topple True Yang Building! Frost Jade Peacock might have already recognized its masters, but because Giant Sun's will is not present, the seals on it are not being manipulated and it is barely surviving. Most of its strength had already been sealed again.
The defensive barrier is also on the brink of collapse and simply won't be able to block me. I will go kill Ma Hong Yun and Zhao Lian Yun. You go deal with Hei Lou Lan and seize the false emotion fake will Gu, I trust that it won't be a problem with your Gu Immortal battle strength. Let's move, we don't have much time!"
"Immortal and mortal are vastly different, it is just like a wide chasm separates them. You don't need to worry." Tai Bai Yun Sheng lightly smiled, moving elegantly towards Hei Lou Lan.
Fang Yuan directly shot forward towards Ma Hong Yun.
The surrounding treemen followed him under his control.
