Chapter 103: A Traitor ?!
BOOM!
Amidst an intense explosion, He Lang Zi was like a pile of mush as he collapsed in the huge pit.
Qin Bai Sheng's arms were lowered, he looked at the pit expressionlessly, at the struggling He Lang Zi.
"One move, just one move, he completely immobilized He Lang Zi!" Xue Song Zi's eyes were full of shock.
Hei Cheng squinted, he hid the intense shock in his mind as he thought: "What immortal killer move is this? Once he used it, He Lang Zi was unable to use a single killer move! He Lang Zi was completely immobilized, but his body is unharmed, this should be a soul path killer move…"
"If, if you have the guts, let me use my killer moves! Sneak attacking me from the start, how strong can you be? I refuse to accept this!" He Lang Zi almost cracked his teeth, he was sprawled in the pit as he looked at Qin Bai Sheng, speaking with much difficulty and anger.
Qin Bai Sheng snorted in disdain, he looked down at He Lang Zi as he smiled slightly: "Striking first gives you the advantage, does a demonic path Gu Immortal like you not know that? It seems that I overestimated you, in a real battle, who would care if you accept it or not? As long as the enemy is defeated, that is true ability!"
As he said this, Qin Bai Sheng paused, his expression turned cold: "Right now, you are meat on the chopping block, you are at my mercy. You are to accept this whether you like it or not. I will give you three breaths of time, submit to me, or I will kill you right here."
He Lang Zi did not hesitate: "I submit!"
Qin Bai Sheng laughed, releasing the restraint.
He Lang Zi felt the pressure lifting, he laughed fiendishly as he used his immortal killer move and transformed into a huge wolf.
The huge wolf opened its mouth, pouncing on Qin Bai Sheng.
Qin Bai Sheng was very close to him, seeing the huge wolf approaching, he did not move, he showed a cold smile on his face, evidently, He Lang Zi's attack was not out of his expectations.
BOOM!
Another loud bang entered everyone's ears.
The huge wolf cried out, falling from the sky, its four paws were on the ground, a huge force was pressing down on the wolf's body.
He Lang Zi was now just like earlier, completely immobilized again.
In his huge wolf eyes, he showed unbelieving shock, he looked at Qin Bai Sheng as he shouted: "This move again! What is this move called?"
"It is not a big deal to tell you." Qin Bai Sheng laughed: "This immortal killer move is called soul suppression. It uses the foundation of my soul to suppress your soul. Even though your body is strong, this move directly targets your soul. Without any immortal transformations that can resist soul path techniques, whatever beast you turn into cannot defeat me.
He Lang Zi, I give you one final chance now, submit to me… or die."
Facing Qin Bai Sheng's immense power, He Lang Zi turned silent.
…
"Sha Huang…" Feng Jiu Ge looked at Dragon Commander Ye Cha and the others who were leaving, his mouth muttering unendingly.
"The information we obtained this time has no practical use." Around Feng Jiu Ge, the Central Continent Gu Immortals were mumbling in unhappiness.
"No, we obtained a lot of information." Feng Jiu Ge chuckled: "Firstly, this immortal zombie, Sha Huang, was able to enter the Zombie Alliance, it proves that he is a Northern Plains Gu Immortal. Even if he is not born here, he definitely ascended into an immortal here. Since he disguised himself, that means that his true identity cannot be known to others.
Finally, he has a huge force or some great expert backing him up. This force might be the one which caused the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building!"
"Lord Jiu Ge makes much sense." Towards Feng Jiu Ge's deduction, the other three immortals nodded in agreement.
"What should our actions be next?"
Feng Jiu Ge thought for a while before saying: "We will meet up with Old Oracle's group and tell the new information to them, allowing them to do further deductions."
…
Snowy Mountain blessed land, first peak.
"What? Soft jade sand hasn't been fully collected yet?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu looked at the list as he questioned unhappily.
The person he was questioning was the owner of the fourth peak of Snowy Mountain, Li Peng Wang.
Li Peng Wang, lowered his head, saying politely: "Old Ancestor, please appease your anger, I met with a group of sky chief beasts, I had to stop my collection. If I go to white heaven again, I will definitely succeed."
"Mm, go ahead and prepare. I am not targeting you, but this is the first round of immortal material collection, and you already had such a problem. How will you prove yourself and remain as the fourth peak's owner?
I raised you to this spot personally, with this poor performance, what will the other peak heads think of me?" Old Ancestor Xue Hu said a few more sentences before waving his sleeves, asking Li Peng Wang who was apologizing to leave.
"Li Peng Wang had bad luck, he was attacked by a sky chief beast group. He was heavily injured, but he still brought back a portion of the soft jade sand, it was already not easy." After Li Peng Wang left, a female immortal walked out from the hall behind.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu looked over at the female immortal, his expression became more gentle: "Wife, you do not know the crucial information in this, thus you think I am overly harsh on the peak heads. I searched Ma Hong Yun's soul, I know all of this lad's history. Fortune rivalling heaven Gu's power is truly fearsome. Do you think Li Peng Wang's encounter was coincidental? That is not the case.
Not just him, the other peak heads also faced difficulty when collecting the materials. All this is due to Fortune Rivalling Heaven affecting us secretly. Any acts that would harm its owner would cause a backlash from Fortune Rivalling Heaven, suppressing our luck."
"There is such a thing?" The female immortal, Lady Wan Shou, asked.
"According to the theory of luck, us Gu Immortals have extraordinary luck that protects us. But Fortune Rivalling Heaven is the emperor of luck, thus, we are still affected by it. The longer this drags on, the more uncertainties would occur. In the end, not only would the Gu refinement fail, we might even attract a huge disaster." Old Ancestor Xue Hu explained slowly.
Lady Wan Shou understood now, before frowning: "If that is the case, wouldn't it be a huge obstacle when I refine Gu?"
Old Ancestor Xue Hu nodded: "That is why this time, not only do we need to prepare several sets of Gu refinement immortal materials, we also need to use other luck path Immortal Gu to protect our luck. Thankfully, Ma Hong Yun is the main material, we saved a lot of immortal materials compared to refining Fortune Rivalling Heaven from scratch."
"Even so, we prepared way too many immortal materials, we are almost going to exceed Snowy Mountain's capability. This refinement is way too important, we almost used up all of our life savings." Lady Wan Shou frowned as she said.
Old Ancestor Xue Hu laughed, holding her waist, he consoled: "Wife, you're afraid that the refinement will fail?"
Lady Wan Shou nodded, looking at her husband: "Even a refinement path great grandmaster could fail, let alone me?"
"Hahaha, just go ahead and refine it, wife, whether it succeeds or fails, I will accept the result without any hatred or anger. I have already used up all of my potential to reach this level, I have no confidence in my future calamities and tribulations. Fortune rivalling heaven Gu is my hope of breaking this situation, oh, hopefully, it will succeed in time." Old Ancestor Xue Hu said as he sighed.
…
In Hu Immortal blessed land Fang Yuan received Fairy Li Shan's letter.
It explained her current circumstances, Old Ancestor Xue Hu had ordered all of the peak heads to collect immortal materials. Fairy Li Shan had left Snowy Mountain blessed land and it was not safe to leave Hei Lou Lan alone. Thus, Fairy Li Shan urged Fang Yuan to hurry up, and she also told him about the situation in Northern Plains Zombie Alliance, someone was investigating Sha Huang's identity.
half a month later in Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Yuan finally succeeded in refining enough dream path mortal Gu.
Fang Yuan immediately informed Fairy Li Shan.
Fairy Li Shan was out for the moment, collecting immortal materials for Old Ancestor Xue Hu. When she heard Fang Yuan's news, she stopped her work, disregarding Old Ancestor Xue Hu's chastisement, and returned to the third peak.
Fang Yuan quickly used the Immortal killer move Unravel Dream on Hei Lou Lan.
After waking her up from the dream realm, Fang Yuan returned to Hu Immortal blessed land.
During this time he continued cultivating his soul and reached one million man soul.
He also bought many strength path desolate beast corpses to increase his strength path dao marks using Eat Strength Immortal Gu.
Meanwhile he also got Strength Qi and Slavery Gu from Hei Lou Lan.
Now, that Fang Yuan got the Strength Qi Gu, he no longer needed the help of Hei Lou Lan and is able to refine airsac Gu alone. Thus, increasing his income from guts Gu by several times.
At the same time, at a secret hideout in Northern Plains.
The wisdom path Gu Immortal, Old Oracle from Ancient Soul Sect, walked out of the secret room slowly.
He looked exhausted, trying to deduce the culprit behind the collapse of True Yang Building had left him in deep fatigue.
"How was it?" Hong Chi Ming and the other immortals saw that he was outside and quickly approach him with concerned expressions.
Old Oracle shook his head, having a gloomy expression: "My attainment were insufficient, I have disappointed all of you."
"How could this be?"
"You could not deduce anything even at this stage, the culprit is not simple, they are hiding too deeply…"
"It seems we still need to collect information."
After some discussion, Feng Jiu Ge spoke: "Right now, we have no clear target, we should split up and do our own missions. It was not easy to come to Northern Plains from Central Continent. I am sure you all have private matters aside from investigating the truth. For the time being, while you settle your private affairs, try to collect more information."
Right now, with no clear target, everyone had to settle their own matters, they quickly split up and left, in order to resolve the missions from their respective sects.
Old Oracle and Feng Jiu Ge stayed behind.
"Lord Jiu Ge." Old Oracle was hesitant.
In truth, he had made a huge breakthrough this time in his deduction, but after telling Feng Jiu Ge, the latter ordered that the information was to be concealed. That was why Old Oracle lied to everyone earlier, telling them that his deduction failed.
Feng Jiu Ge looked at him and smiled with deep meaning: "The culprit who caused the collapse of Eighty-Eight True Yang Building was already most likely to be from the ten great sects of Central Continent.
Now that you obtained the deduction that 'the culprit is a member of the ten sects of Central Continent', I allowed the rest to act freely, in the case that a mistake is made in concealing it, we would be able to find the culprit."
"But the result of my deduction could be wrong from the start." Old Oracle lowered his head.
"Don't worry, if it is really a traitor in the ten sects, after causing such a huge incident, no matter how they try to conceal it, there are bound to be clues left behind." Feng Jiu Ge consoled him, while also seemingly giving a warning.
Old Oracle raised his head, his gaze was clear as he stared at Feng Jiu Ge: "Lord Jiu Ge is hiding this from the other Gu Immortals, do you not suspect my sect?"
Feng Jiu Ge laughed heartily, he frankly admitted: "Honestly speaking, I naturally was suspicious since long ago. You can go now, I am sure Ancient Soul Sect gave you secret missions as well."
Feng Jiu Ge's tone was that of one who had confidence in grasping the entire situation.
Old Oracle's heart shook, he lowered his head: "That is indeed the case, I will leave now."
Saying this, his body was like lightning as he vanished into the sky.
Only Feng Jiu Ge was left in his original spot, his gaze was dark and eerie, and his expression was calm, it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
