Chapter 73: Hei Cheng
Fang Yuan connected his luck to Han Li like his previous life, but this time without getting involved with plump lady.
After connecting his luck to Han Li, just like Fang Yuan's previous life Fairy Li Shan asked him for help on Hei Lou Lan's behalf.
Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel and teleported right in front of Fairy Li Shan.
In the secret room, Fairy Li Shan was pacing back and forth worriedly, upon seeing Fang Yuan, she got close to him: "You are finally back! I am extremely anxious, the situation is terrible, Little Lan is being pursued by that evil scoundrel."
"Why aren't you helping her?" Fang Yuan frowned.
"I was going to act, but Little Lan urged me to continue hiding our connection, she did not want our relationship to be disclosed. You came alone? Where is Tai Bai Yun Sheng?"
"He has other matters now." Fang Yuan asked again: "How many Gu Immortals are pursuing her?"
"Only two, one is Hei Cheng while the other is Xue Song Zi. I placed an investigative Gu on Hei Lou Lan, her situation is very dangerous now. Quick, I will use my thoughts to transmit the scenery to you, quickly go save her!"
Fang Yuan inspected the thoughts and used Fixed Immortal Travel. At the next moment, he appeared beside Hei Lou Lan.
Just as Hei Lou Lan, Hei Cheng and Xue Song Zi were at a stalemate, a bright jade green light burst out beside Hei Lou Lan.
The jade light dissipated, revealing Fang Yuan's huge body.
"You are finally here." Hei Lou Lan saw that her reinforcement had arrived, her expression brightened.
"Which Gu Immortal is this? Who are you?!" Xue Song Zi quickly asked in shock.
Fang Yuan rapidly looked at the two in the air, his voice was hoarse as his surging killing intent was displayed: "The person who will kill you."
As he spoke with them, he transmitted to Hei Lou Lan: "Quick! We cannot stay here for long, enter my immortal aperture and I'll bring you away."
Hearing that Fang Yuan was trying to kill him, Xue Song Zi flew into a rage: "Such words."
Next to him, the Gu Immortal Hei Cheng reacted more quickly: "Attack! That Immortal Gu is Fixed Immortal Travel, he only needs three breaths of time to escape. We cannot give them any opportunities!"
As they spoke, Hei Lou Lan had already entered Fang Yuan's immortal aperture.
Xue Song Zi's expression turned severe, he waved his sleeves and created a curved moon blade wheel that was the size of a horse carriage.
The blade wheel spun in the air, slashing at Fang Yuan.
Killer move — Icy Wind Blade Wheel!
"This killer move is very fierce, it has the essence of both ice and wind path, its value is at least three immortal essence stones!" Fang Yuan squinted, he logically chose to evade it.
Killer move — Light Illusion Bat Wings!
Two large phantom black bat wings appeared behind him, after the phantom wings flapped, they vanished.
Fang Yuan gained a huge boost in speed, he moved like lightning and flew sideways, dodging the icy wind blade wheel.
Although Fang Yuan dodged the icy wind blade wheel, Hei Cheng's attack was right in front of him.
This was a very inconspicuous small black arrow.
Fang Yuan quickly activated his killer move, light illusion bat wings, but the black arrow was like a magnet attracted to him, it changed directions agilely and was fixed on Fang Yuan, he could not shrug it off at all.
As the distance between him and the dark arrow shortened, he fell under greater threat!
Fang Yuan moved around rapidly, the many mortal Gu that made up his killer move, light illusion bat wings, were starting to be worn down.
"It is over." Hei Cheng laughed coldly, waving his sleeves and shooting out another dark arrow.
"My dark arrow Immortal Gu is merely rank six and can only shoot out up to three dark arrows at the same time. No matter who you are, making me use two dark arrows to deal with you, it should be your honor." Hei Cheng looked at Fang Yuan struggling at the brink of death as he evaluated arrogantly.
"Hmph, what are you so proud of, I was just toying with you." Fang Yuan spoke in a hoarse voice and laughed suddenly.
Two dark arrows attacked him at once, he quickly used Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace.
Swoosh!
A huge wave appeared below Fang Yuan's feet.
The waves moved quickly, Fang Yuan stepped on them as he quickly created some distance from the dark arrows.
"Hehehe, Hei Cheng, Xue Song Zi, that will be all for today. Enjoy your life from now on, because you do not have much time left." Fang Yuan's tone was chilling.
He stepped on the flying wave, at the same time, a jade green light flashed on his body.
Three breaths of time later, Fixed Immortal Travel carried him across space, leaving this battlefield.
Fixed Immortal Travel brought Fang Yuan back to Fairy Li Shan's residence.
"Little Lan, how are your injuries?" Seeing that Hei Lou Lan was leaving Fang Yuan's immortal aperture while covered in blood, Fairy Li Shan was very nervous, she quickly went over and checked.
"Little aunt, it is not a problem. That scoundrel did not attack me seriously, he was only putting on a show." Hei Lou Lan laughed, as if she was not the one injured.
Fairy Li Shan's heart was eased, she let out a breath of turbid air: "It seems that your guess is right, Little Lan, that scoundrel really planted some tracking method on your body. This method is extremely well hidden, we could not find it even after searching intensely several times."
Fang Yuan heard this and his gaze turned cold, he looked at Hei Lou Lan closely: "That is to say, you were discovered by Hei Cheng on purpose?"
"I would not say it was on purpose." Hei Lou Lan looked into Fang Yuan's eyes without any fear: "Earlier, little aunt found some crucial information, it was regarding the whereabouts of Ma Hong Yun. Ma Hong Yun was taken away by a northern plains Gu Immortal, Qin Bai Sheng, his blessed land is situated in crimson reed marsh.
I went there intending to sneak into the blessed land and see if the information was true. I didn't expect that Hei Cheng was also nearby, the moment I stepped into crimson reed marsh, he detected me."
Fang Yuan nodded, he believed what Hei Lou Lan said.
Fang Yuan asked: "How reliable is the information that Ma Hong Yun has been captured by Qin Bai Sheng?"
Hei Lou Lan and Fairy Li Shan looked at each other, as Fairy Li Shan said: "According to our analysis, there is a seventy percent chance that we can believe it. During the battle inside the wind veil of assimilation, dozens of Gu Immortals from the righteous and demonic path were involved. I was there at the time, it was a chaotic scene.
After the battle, everyone had their own guesses on who captured Ma Hong Yun, and that resulted in dozens of small conflicts, but they were all proven to be wrong."
"This time, our information is different from the rumors, we have reason and evidence. Evidently, an insider had purposely leaked the information, Qin Bai Sheng is a rank seven lone cultivator Gu Immortal, he is a famous expert in the metal path, and also has his blessed land to defend himself.
But Ma Hong Yun's matter involves Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's luck path true inheritance, this has too much of an attraction to northern plains' Gu Immortals. Especially when Qin Bai Sheng does not have the Huang Jin bloodline, everyone is jealous of him."
Fang Yuan nodded: "That is to say, this is a troublesome matter, if Ma Hong Yun was really captured by Qin Bai Sheng, then soon, a band of Gu Immortals are going to attack crimson reed marsh."
"That is exactly so!" Hei Lou Lan laughed heartily, her beautiful black pupils radiating with light: "The way I see it, this information should be true to a huge extent. Luckily, little aunt did not expose her identity this time, when the righteous and demonic Gu Immortals team up, they will need little aunt's mountain pledge Gu.
At that time, we will be able to find a chance and intervene in this matter. If there is a chance for us to obtain the luck path true inheritance, we will strike. If not, we will take a step back, using the time in which that old scoundrel Hei Cheng is engaging in battle, I will have a chance to ascend to immortal!"
Fang Yuan asked coldly: "Although this was the first time I met Hei Cheng, I can confirm that he is no simple character, if he refuses to join this, what will you do?"
Hei Lou Lan's brows rose, she replied enthusiastically: "I do not have much time left, it has been fortunate I have had little aunt's help these recent days. In half a month, I will have to ascend regardless of the situation! If Hei Cheng comes to find trouble then, it will be a perfect time to deal with him once and for all!"
"That means, there is a possibility I have to fight Hei Cheng? By then, we cannot escape, in order to protect you, I will have to fight him head on?" Fang Yuan's gaze was uncertain.
Fairy Li Shan said: "Fang Yuan, don't forget, when a Gu Master ascends to the realm of immortal, there will be a huge influx of heaven and earth qi. Under that special environment, Hei Cheng's battle strength would be heavily suppressed. Little Lan's ascension is extremely important, I will be there personally. Together with Tai Bai Yun Sheng, we have three Gu Immortals on our side."
Hei Lou Lan replied graciously and understandingly: "Fang Yuan, in order to save me this time, you used Fixed Immortal Travel three times, and lost three green grape immortal essence beads. You also used one bead to activate worldly wave trace Gu, according to our alliance, you will be compensated twice the amount, that is eight immortal essence stones."
"That's right." Fang Yuan looked at Hei Lou Lan, it was so easy for intelligent people to communicate.
Fairy Li Shan spoke suddenly: "Eight immortal essence stones, I can give that to you right now. But I also have other things, Fang Yuan, perhaps you should take a look, you might be interested in them."
Saying this, she took out two killer moves and one Gu recipe.
Fang Yuan looked through them, they were the same as Fang Yuan's previous life.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and rejected Fairy Li Shan's offer.
Fairy Li Shan nodded and gave him eight immortal essence stones.
His quantity of immortal essence stones increased to sixty-two and a half.
Back in Hu Immortal Blessed Land, Fang Yuan took out the Immortal Gu Worldly Wave Trace.
Right now, the Immortal Gu's aura was no longer as stable as before and revealed a trace of weakness.
Fang Yuan was aware of why: "Worldly wave trace Gu was not fed properly back at Imperial Court blessed land. When the wind veil of assimilation appeared, Mo Yao's will activated Water Pavilion to battle, and after I obtained her Gu worms, I activated this Immortal Gu several times. It has already reached a certain limit and need to be fed.
If it is still not fed and I activate it excessively, it might die from hunger."
Although i can satisfy this immortal Gu's hunger using Food path methods, I shouldn't do it and instead let things play out as my previous life.
Fang Yuan inquired Little Hu Immortal land spirit. After Tai Bai Yun Sheng left, the land spirit took over Tai Bai Yun Sheng's work of paying attention to movements in treasure yellow heaven.
However, although Fang Yuan had taken the initiative to post requests for the goods in treasure yellow heaven, there were few who responded.
Fang Yuan used moving perspective cup Gu to send a letter to Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng gave him a piece of good news. He had already arrived at Hai Shi blessed land and smoothly got into contact with some Gu Immortals, moreover, he also saw someone selling underworld jellyfishes in Hai Shi blessed land.
