Chapter 544: Entrapping a Gu Immortal?


    Trantor: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral


    When Ma Ying Jie finally woke up, his first sight was Fei Cai’s joyous smiling face.


    Fei Cai shouted: “Young tribe leader, you are finally awake!”


    The simple and honest voice warmed Ma Ying Jie’s heart. He struggled to sit upright, but the intense


    pain caused him to grimace and froth started to bubble from his mouth, he was barely able to ask:


    “Where is this ce?”


    Fei Cai scratched his head, and said in shame: “I also don’t know where this is, but we should have


    escaped the battlefield.”


    “Battlefield?” Ma Ying Jie suddenly started and immediately asked, “The battle, what happened?”


    “We lost, lord young tribe leader. Many people escaped and even more people surrendered.” Fei Cai


    answered.


    Ma Ying Jie’s face turned pale white and his body shook, almost fainting down, but luckily Fei Cai was


    supporting his back.


    Zhao Lian Yun stood at the side, looking at this formerly radiant Ma tribe young tribe leader who had


    now fallen into such a miserable state; it left a bad taste in her mouth.


    ‘Sigh, this Ma Ying Jie is young and promising, it is a pity he ran into Wolf King Chang Shan Yin. It was


    not that you didn’t try hard enough, but that the enemy was too much of a monster…’


    Ma Ying Jie closed his eyes, two streams of tears quietly falling down.


    After a while, he opened his reddened eyes and looked at Fei Cai and Zhao Lian Yun, asking in a


    hoarse voice: “Did you guys save me?”


    Fei Cai and Zhao Lian Yun nodded.


    “Young tribe leader, what do we do now?” Fei Cai asked.


    Ma Ying Jie said with a gloomy expression: “We will return! This battle is our Ma tribe’s defeat, but we


    still have some tribesmen remaining behind in warm pond valley.”


    Back then, before heroes assembly, Ma tribe schemed and brought about internal disorder in Fei tribe,


    before swallowing Fei tribe and upying warm pond valley.


    Ma tribe’s higher-ups, to be prepared for the unexpected, left behind the old, weak, sick and crippled


    behind at warm pond valley.


    If Ma tribe won, they would take these people back. But if Ma tribe lost, these people would be the


    seeds to continue the tribe’s bloodline!


    “Return to warm pond valley? But we don’t have water and also don’t have any rations. To travel such a


    long distance…” Zhao Lian Yun’s brows furrowed into a knot.


    “Heh, little girl, as long as I am here, there will be sufficient water and food. You guys don’t need to


    worry.” Ma Ying Jie replied.


    The three started their journey,ing across many Ma tribesmen who had fled; Ma Ying Jie took all of


    them in.


    “Lord young tribe leader, I had not thought that I, Ma You Liang, would still live to see you!” When Ma


    You Liang saw Ma Ying Jie, he immediately said this in a sobbing voice.


    He was Ma tribe’s rank three elder and was lying on a stretcher now; he had lost an arm and his right


    leg was fractured, his injuries were severe.


    When Ma Ying Jie saw Ma You Liang, tears involuntarily welled up in his eyes: “Elder Ma You Liang, it


    really is good to see you!”


    Although he had taken in many tribesmen along the way, most of them were mortals, while Ma You


    Liang might be heavily injured and also crippled, but he was still a Gu Master.


    Ma tribe had been utterly defeated in this battle.


    Before the battle, they had been arge tribe whose foundations were deep enough to charge to super


    tribe level. But after the battle, Ma tribe waspletely reduced to a small tribe, falling down from the


    pinnacle of their power.


    To the current Ma tribe, every Gu Master was a very precious strength and hope of the tribe!


    “Lord young tribe leader, old tribe leader died in the battlefield.” Ma You Liang cried bitterly as he told


    this grievous news to Ma Ying Jie.


    Ma Ying Jie’s body shook intensely, and despite having already made mental preparations, his heart


    was still filled with endless sadness and sorrow after hearing this news.


    He gritted his teeth, his whole body seemingly having turned into an iron statue.


    After a while of silence, he slowly wiped away his tears and spoke: “From today onwards, I am Ma tribe


    leader! Elder Ma You Liang, you need to pull yourself together. Our Ma tribe might have lost, but we are


    not exterminated. Back then, Ancestor Giant Sun set the rule that Huang Jin family’s bloodline could


    not be exterminated. Ma tribe has already paid a disastrous price for the battle, now even Hei tribe


    cannot eradicate us. We will return to warm pond valley and climb up from this loss. I believe our Ma


    tribe’s radiance won’t disperse like this!”


    Ma You Liang dazedly looked at the young tribe leader in front of him, and in his blurred vision, he


    seemed to be looking at Ma Shang Feng and Ma Zun’s silhouettes. He stopped sobbing as hope rose


    up in his heart again.


    He then answered with a very deep voice: “Lord tribe leader, I also believe so!”


    ————-


    Winner takes all.


    While Ma Ying Jie was miserably fleeing, it was a scene of celebratory feasts in the many tents of Hei


    tribe’s alliance army with plentiful food and people crowding around the warm bonfire.


    “We have won, we were victorious!”


    “Ma tribe’s ambition was too big, they actually wanted to be a super tribe. This ambition was the


    cause of their destruction.”


    “Congrattions to Lord Hei Lou Lan for bing the Lord of Imperial Court!”


    “Esteemed Lord Wolf King, please allow me to propose a toast to you.”


    The main tent was also a scene of festivity. Besides the fine wine and food, there were also beautiful


    and passionate northern ins’ women dancing gracefully to their heart’s content.


    The ones present in the main tent were the higher-ups of Hei tribe’s alliance army and were all experts.


    The cultivations of these people were at least rank four, one could say they were the most radiant


    heroes of this generation of northern ins.


    Hei Lou Lan was sitting on the main seat, and to the first seat on his left was Fang Yuan.


    Before, because of Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s arrival as well as sessive joining of several rank five tribe


    elders, Fang Yuan’s position had been pushed to the back.


    But after the third battle with Ma tribe, Fang Yuan revealed his rank five peak stage cultivation and with


    his strength alone, battled the enemy’s three envement masters, and beheaded Cheng Long, Wu Ye


    and other famous experts.


    One could say Fang Yuan was at least seventy percent of the reason Hei tribe could win against Ma


    tribe decisively.


    Everyone in Hei tribe was shocked at Wolf King’s terrifying battle strength and that very night, they


    readjusted the seat rankings in the main tent.


    No one opposed this.


    Experts proposed toasts to Fang Yuan one after another, Fang Yuan did not refuse anyone, but only


    took a sip every time. This waspletely not a demeanour of a grand northern ins’ warrior, but


    right now, this instead formed an arrogant and aloof aura on Fang Yuan.


    The main tent was filled with a joyful atmosphere.


    The Gu Master who proposed the toast just before was Sole de General Pan Ping. He used his sole


    de Gu and luckily managed to take Ma tribe leader Ma Shang Feng’s head in the battle. Thus, his


    position was only inferior to Fang Yuan in the battle merit board now, being ranked at second.


    Seeing Fang Yuan taking a sip in response to his toast, Pan Ping gratefully stepped to the side.


    Northern ins natives admire warriors, a terrifying performance like Fang Yuan’s was extremely rare


    even when considering all the Imperial Court contests.


    Flying master and envement path master, two master level halos shone on his body. His


    envement path and strength path dual cultivation would give an extreme headache to all his


    enemies.


    Seeing Pan Ping bing satisfied and overwhelmed, and retreating in deference, the surrounding


    gazes showed respect, worship or fear. Fang Yuan calmly ced down the wine cup and sighed


    inwardly: “Unknowingly, I have already reached this stage.”


    Riding on the great wave known as the Imperial Court contest, Fang Yuan’s individual battle strength


    rapidly inted. Now, he was already at the summit of the mortal world.


    He had reached the peak of the mortals.


    Advancing further would be the realm of immortals!


    In the battle before, he ughtered famed experts, rampaging all around with no one being able to


    obstruct him; very few rank five peak stage Gu Masters could disy such performance. Hei Lou Lan’s


    light waspletely seized by Fang Yuan.


    Despite there being great ws in cultivating both envement and strength path, despite four arm


    earth king killer move being newly created and not yet perfected, they were already enough as a


    cornerstone to allow Fang Yuan to stand proud in the mortal world.


    In three kings blessednd, Fang Yuan used the blessednd’s power to kill rank four and rank five Gu


    Master experts.


    And now, he was able to do it with his own strength. Even if Tie n’s previous n leader Tie Mu Bai


    resurrected, Fang Yuan had the confidence of killing him.


    In a short period of time, Fang Yuan’s battle strength had truly increased at a sharply flying speed. This


    aplishment that others would find it almost impossible to achieve their whole life, was established


    on five hundred years of his former life’s experience, Hu Immortal blessednd, painstaking efforts and


    strategies as a base.


    ‘But it is still not enough, far from enough! What can being the peak of the mortal world be considered


    as? As long as one is not a Gu Immortal, they will simply be chess pieces. Not mentioning the goal of


    eternal life, just looking at my current goal, I have yet to save Dang Hun mountain.’


    Fang Yuan’s gaze turned solemn as the mes of ambition burned in his heart.

    He nced at Tai Bai Yun Sheng who was at the side.


    To save Dang Hun mountain, he required Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s Immortal Gu — Landscape As Before.


    This was his most important target for this trip to northern ins. Even Eighty-Eight True Yang Building


    was secondary.


    In his n, if Dang Hun mountain could not be saved, then Eighty-Eight True Yang Building’s


    inheritance could only barely fill his losses.


    However, it was a very troublesome thing to take away other’s Gu worms.


    A Gu worm’s survival could be decided on simply a thought from its master.


    For example, Fang Yuan only needed a thought and even his Immortal Gu, Spring Autumn Cicada,


    would easily self-destruct.


    Precisely because of this, when Gu Masters battled to death, they would often get next to nothing in


    terms of Gu worms from the corpse.


    And Tai Bai Yun Sheng’s situation was even more troublesome!


    Immortal Gu Landscape As Before had yet to be born; it was an Immortal Gu created by Tai Bai Yun


    Sheng after he became a Gu Immortal, and by using river as before and mountain as before as the


    main materials.


    Hence, there were two courses of actions Fang Yuan could take.


    First was to capture Tai Bai Yun Sheng and use soul path Gu worms to soul search and plunder the


    recipe of Landscape As Before from his mind, then refine it by himself.


    This n was too risky.


    First of all, Fang Yuan might not be able to capture Tai Bai Yun Sheng alive. Capturing alive and killing


    were twopletely different concepts. Especially when Tai Bai Yun Sheng was very powerful and was


    a time path Gu Master; the failure of the n would have huge consequences.


    Secondly, even if Fang Yuan was able to capture Tai Bai Yun Sheng alive, does it mean he could get


    the river as before and mountain as before Gu? In case Tai Bai Yun Sheng made these two Gu self-


    destruct, all of Fang Yuan’s efforts would go to waste.


    Finally, it was still unknown if the current Tai Bai Yun Sheng had the Gu recipe for Landscape As


    Before in his mind.


    The possibility of a mortal being able toe up with an Immortal Gu recipe was extremely small.


    Especially when Tai Bai Yun Sheng was not a refinement path master.


    ording to the vague rumors in Fang Yuan’s previous life, when Tai Bai Yun Sheng became a Gu


    Immortal, heaven and earth reacted, Dao marks attracted each other and his inspiration exploded,


    making the two rank five Gu spontaneously merge together to form rank six Immortal Gu Landscape As


    Before.


    If it really was so, then the Gu recipe for Landscape As Before simply did not exist and its refinement


    process could not be duplicated.


    The first course of action could not be adopted, then what about the second?


    In truth, it was not any better than the first!


    After Tai Bai Yun Sheng entered Imperial Court blessednd, he would advance to Gu Immortal realm.


    The second n was to wait for him to be a Gu Immortal and possess the Immortal Gu, then deal


    with him!


    The meaning of this was that Fang Yuan, as a mortal, would be entrapping a Gu Immortal!
