Chapter 191: Crane disaster


    Trantor: Skyfarrow Editor: Skyfarrow


    In the azure blue sky, numerous clouds were floating aimlessly.


    The elderly Gu Master rode on top of the white crane. Under his white eyebrows that were sharp like


    daggers, his eyes revealed a deep killing intent.


    “Hehehe, with this grudge of mine, I shall start taking revenge on your descendants,” heughed,


    staring down at the battlefield, stretching his thin and dry finger and pointing downwards.


    The white crane below him raised its long and elegant neck, crying out in a bright and loud voice.


    The voice spread through the skies, and from far away, there were many return calls.


    “What sound is this?” Fang Yuan was activating the Earth Communication Ear grass at the time, thus


    he heard it first and was shocked in his heart.


    The crane cries went on endlessly, all at different pitches, giving off an impressive magnitude. This was


    not over a hundred canes, nor a few thousand crying at once; it was the collective cries of over ten


    thousand flying cranes that could cause such an effect.


    “Is there a migrating flock of cranes nearby?” Out of nowhere, Fang Yuan felt a strong sense of danger.


    The crane cries attracted the attention of the Gu Masters in the arena, turning their heads to look at


    them.


    “What’s that in the sky?”


    “From the sound, I’d say its arge herd of migrating birds. Tell all the Gu Masters not to attack


    recklessly and bring trouble upon themselves!” Bai n leader was just saying, but suddenly he came


    to a halt.


    His eyes dted, seeing one, two, three… almost ten thousand cranes in the sky, clumped together and


    attacking towards the arena.


    “How can this be?”


    “Get your guard on, defend!”


    “Let’s escape, there are ten thousand cranes here, there has to be a myriad beast king.”


    “The wolf tide is just over, now we have a crane disaster? Oh Heavens, Qing Mao Mountain is truly a


    ce of disasters.”


    Gu Masters startedmenting, expressing the shock in their hearts as their spirits wavered.


    After finally resisting the wolf tide, a crane disaster appears. The three ns on Qing Mao mountain


    have suffered great losses already, how could they have the excess energy to deal with such arge


    flock of cranes?


    The flying cranes folded back their wings, shooting down like a rain of arrows.


    Under the thunderous cries, screams of fear, pain and horror erupted at once, as all sorts of lights burst


    forth — moondes, water balls and steel spikes were sent into the skies.


    After a momentary resistance, more than half of the Gu Masters were killed.


    These flying cranes were like pile drivers; each time their wings pped, it had the strength of a boar,


    and their ws were sharp and could break rocks. Ordinary cranes were hard enough to deal with, not


    to mention therge amounts of hundred and thousand beast kings among them.


    The ns had centuries of experience in dealing with the wolf tide, and also the sturdy viges that can


    defend against them. But here, it was the wilderness with no buildings in sight. Where could they find


    anything resembling a fort?


    Thus, during the first attack, half the Gu Masters passed away.


    The cranes’ long beaks prated hearts, their ws grabbing onto skulls. With a p of their wings,


    people would vomit blood and be sent flying, all their bones broken.


    Fang Yuan was also attacked. his eyes could only see white fog as he relied on the Earth


    Communication Ear grass to avoid their attacks.


    “Fang Yuan, hang in there!” This time, he heard Gu Yue Bo shouting behind him.


    Fang Yuan felt puzzled.


    What’s up with this Gu Yue Bo, when he shouted Fang Yuan’s name earlier, the tone was weird, like he


    had intentions to protect him. Now he even ran over to help.


    Fang Yuan was a scheming old fox, but even he could not predict everything. In this short period, how


    could he conjecture that Tie Ruo Nan assumed he was a ten extreme physique?


    Gu Yue Bo was a Rank four expert, thus since the cranes attacking Fang Yuan were ordinary beasts,


    they were easily killed or repelled by him.


    “Fang Yuan, is that you?” Gu Yue Bo came to the maze fog.


    Fang Yuan’s thoughts whirled in his mind: Right now, his predicament was extremely dangerous, and


    being near Gu Yue Bo would greatly increase his chances of survival. Thus he answered: “It’s me.”


    Gu Yue Bo hearing Fang Yuan’s voice, finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Very good! Fang Yuan, let’s not


    mention what happened in the past. No matter what, the n will protect your safety. Let’s return to the


    vige, I’ll protect you while retreating!”


    What he did not know was that the vige was the most dangerous location for Fang Yuan right now.


    But the crane disaster was a much greater threatpared to the vige. At least if he went back to


    the vige, he would not die immediatelypared to staying under the cranes’ attacks.


    Fang Yuan sighed without hesitating, “Please lead the way n leader, I will try to keep up!”


    But at this time, a giant crane descended from the sky. The white-brow old Gu Master sat on top of the


    crane, his tone cold, “No one can escape, all of you shall die here.”


    Fang Yuan could not see, but heard Gu Yue Bo beside him shout, “Rank five Gu Master!”


    Evidently, the Gu Yue n leader had investigative methods that was able to deduce the stranger’s


    cultivation level.


    Fang Yuan was stunned in his heart: Where is there another Rank five Gu Master here? This tiny Qing


    Mao mountain, it was neither a famous location nor full of resources, why are all the Rank five experts


    gathering here?


    “Don’t tell me, this has to do with First gen Gu Yue?” Fang Yuan hit an inspiration.


    His heart jumped!


    If it was an ordinary crane disaster, he would have no chances left. Wild flying beasts were hard to


    make use of, and although he was at Rank three peak stage,pared to a Rank five he was still


    weak and could not get out of the danger.


    But now another Rank five Gu Master showed up. Not only is he another source of extreme danger, but


    also a chance to break out of his predicament.


    This current Qing Mao mountain, the three Rank five experts were the crucial yers, the rest were


    insignificant.


    Only a Rank five can deal with Rank five.


    Immediately, Fang Yuan decided in his heart.


    It is time, he has to bet on this!


    “n leader, the First gen ancestor has fully awakened, we will be safe if we return to the vige!”


    Fang Yuan said.


    “What?” Gu Yue Bo shouted in shock.


    His shock gave Fang Yuan reassurance.


    “I won’t lie about such things. As long as we get back to the vige, we can save our lives,” Fang Yuan


    continued.


    Gu Yue Bo was a resolute man, thus he brought Fang Yuan and sped towards the vige.


    But the flying cranes continued to approach, blocking the path. Hundred beast kings and thousand


    beast kings appeared non-stop.


    Gu Yue Bo fought with his life, protecting Fang Yuan. Eventually he could no longer proceed, falling


    into the encirclement of the flying cranes. Fang Yuan was protected by Gu Yue Bo, thus he was safe


    for the time being.


    Once time was up, the maze fog vanished.


    Fang Yuan observed the battlefield, only to see corpses lying everywhere, showing that a terrifying


    battle had happened. The Gu Masters’ sacrifice was huge, but the flock of cranes were also greatly


    damaged. Other than broken limbs of humans, there were also crane corpses everywhere.


    “Isn’t this the Iron Beak Flying Crane?” Fang Yuan felt puzzled.


    Others might not recognise it, for after all, this flying beast was not from the Southern Border. But he


    knew that this Iron Beak Flying Crane originated from the Middle Kingdom.


    “Eh? Myriad beast king, Rank five expert!” Next, Fang Yuan saw in mid-air, a giant crane was pping


    its wings, floating. On its back, a white-brow white haired old man was sitting with a cold expression.


    Fang Yuan looked away, back at Gu Yue Bo.


    This Gu Yue n leader was already full of injuries, his body full of blood, fighting with his life. Many


    times he could clearly have avoided, but to protect Fang Yuan, he would rather suffer the injury himself.


    “n leader! The current situation is not looking good. Gu Masters are fighting bravely, but are all


    divided into different areas by the flying cranes, they will eventually get overwhelmed. We must gather


    their strength into one. Only then can we have a chance to break out of this and return to the vige!”


    Fang Yuan said to Gu Yue Bo.


    “You are right.” Gu Yue Bo looked across the battlefield, shouting loudly, “Everyone, the enemy is


    before us, our Gu Yue vige has a method to deal with the enemy, quickly assemble with me and kill


    our way out!”


    The voice echoed in the battlefield, attracting numerous gazes.


    “What? Gu Yue n still has a trump card to deal with a Rank five?”


    “Believing in it is better than nothing!”


    “Brothers, let’s go, gather with the Gu Yue n leader!!”


    They were already despairing, but now that Gu Yue Bo said it, they saw some hope.


    Under the pressure of death, these former enemies united and worked together, quickly gathering into


    one spot.


    “Gu Yue n… hehe, you are all senior brother’s descendants.” On the huge crane, the white brow


    elderlyughed coldly, about tomand the cranes to intercept, but on second thoughts, he stopped


    that idea.


    “Why not let these people escape back, so I can finish them off together. But these are all his


    descendants, so in the battleter, I can use them to threaten him. But these three Rank four Gu


    Masters have the ability to interfere with the battle, I cannot let them stay, I shall kill them first!”


    Thinking so, the white brow elderly screeched strangely, flicking his finger and sending three balls of


    light flying.


    “What Gu is this?” Xiong n leader was first hit by the white ball, and after getting covered by it, his


    speed fell drastically, slower than a snail.


    The other two n leaders were the same.


    “Fang Yuan, quickly go, Gu Yue nsmen listen up, you have to protect Fang Yuan at all costs, he’s


    the only one that knows the method!” Gu Yue Bo tried all ways but could not get rid of this light ring,


    thus he screamed loudly and turned around to face the white brow elderly.


    Fang Yuan turned around, looking at this Gu Yue n leader deeply.


    “Elder Fang Yuan, let us protect you!” Arge number of Gu Yue nsmen gathered beside Fang


    Yuan, protecting him in all directions.


    Healing light as well as speed buffs were all casted on Fang Yuan.


    Collision sounds were heard from the back, and under the mystical and cruel fate, the three n


    leaders who hated each other worked together tightly right now, battling against the mysterious elderly


    with their life on the line.


    The results of this battle, was decided from the start.


    The three n leaders died one by one as the white brow elderly flicked his sleeves, sitting firmly on


    the huge crane. Flying cranes engulfed the skies as they gradually forced their way into Gu Yue vige.


    Gu Yue vige was in chaos, and the sad cries of people were heard everywhere.


    Large numbers of bamboo buildings fell, and the debris area was full of corpses with white cloths


    covering over them. Injured members cried in pain, lying on the ground as many healing Gu Masters


    worked to the bone.


    ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    The n main pavilion was half devastated, and the vige square was covered in ayer of blood


    water; this was extremely horrifying to the nsmen.


    Because Tie Xue Leng and First gen Gu Yue engaged in fiercebat, it caused the mountains to


    shake. Thus, Gu Yue vige which was right above was greatly affected.


    Gu Yue Yao Ji who was staying in the vige, did not manage to receive Gu Yue Bo, but instead saw


    the injured remnants of the three ns.


    “What is going on?” She shouted loudly.


    Fang Yuan didn’t reply, because the flock of cranes behind her was the best exnation.


    “This?!”


    “Oh my god…”


    “Is our Gu Yue n going to perish today?”


    Immediately, the vige fell into chaos once again.


    “Senior brother, your junior, I havee here all the way to see you. Why aren’t youing out to


    meet me?” White-brow elderly stood on the crane’s back, his tone full of icy killing intent.


    Before he was finished, on the vige square, blood water gushed out like a ten metre fountain, and the


    bright red coffin appeared vertically.


    As a blood wight, First gen Gu Yue stood inside the coffin, his blood red eyes staring closely at the


    white-brow elderly.


    “To think that you didn’t die… how did you find this ce? As expected, that Gu Master earlier was


    instigated by you!” First gen Gu Yue said hatefully.
