"Halt!" The patrolling Ge tribe Gu Master saw the Yan tribe Gu Masters and shouted.
Yan tribe Gu Masters stopped their hump wolves, as an elder spoke: "The person beside me is Yan tribe leader Lord Yan Tian Ji, we are here to visit Ge tribe leader."
"Yan tribe?" Ge tribe Gu Master's expression changed.
"That's right, our main tent is about a hundred li away."
"Please wait here lords."
According to northern plains time, Ge tribe had just reached crescent lake and had set up camp for just a day. Ge tribe camp was still busy constructing their homes.
"Lord, the wolf group footprints all entered Ge tribe camp." A tribe elder said softly at Yan tribe leader Yan Tian Ji.
Yan Tian Ji nodded, his gaze turning firm: "To think this enslavement path Gu master is from Ge tribe. It seems we came to the right place, this is a strong aid in dealing with Water Demon Hao Ji Liu."
"But Ge tribe might not necessary help us." A tribe elder was worried.
Yan Tian Ji sneered, acting as if he had Ge tribe dancing in the palm of his hands: "Hmph, Ge tribe wants to attend the heroes assembly. My daughter is Liu Wen Wu's fiancée, if I use Liu tribe's name to ask for reinforcements, can this tiny Ge tribe refuse?"
Saying so, the newly constructed camp gates opened, as Ge tribe's new leader Ge Guang came out with the band of elders.
"Yan tribe leader has come personally, it is our honor. Please follow me to the main tent." Ge Guang invited him enthusiastically.
"Why is he only a rank three Gu Master?" Sensing Ge Guang's cultivation, the Yan tribesmen showed contempt.
Bringing the Yan tribesmen into the camp for a banquet, after they had some wine, Yan tribe leader gazed at his elder.
The elder quickly said: "To speak the truth, Ge tribe leader, we are here today to ask for help from your tribe."
"Help?"
The elder continued: "That's right. Our tribe's big missy Yan Cui Er was kidnapped by Hao Ji Liu, this person is unscrupulous and shameless, hiding in crescent lake and extorting our tribe. He is a water path Gu Master, he has great battle strength when fighting underwater, our tribe's few attempts at saving her failed. This time, we would like to ask for Ge tribe's help."
"Hao Ji Liu? You mean, that Water Demon Hao Ji Liu?" Ge Guang thought of this person and his expression changed.
This person was a rank four upper stage Gu Master, he walked the water path and his vile name was famous in northern plains, he was a devious and scheming demon.
Ge Guang frowned deeply, after thinking about it, he rejected: "Members of the demonic faction deserves to be brought to justice. As a member of the righteous faction, Ge tribe should help out, but right now, we do not have the ability to do so. My father had died in battle, I was tasked to be the tribe leader immediately after. We have already suffered great losses, we have no strength left to exterminate the Water Demon."
"Why? Ge tribe leader is unwilling to help?" Hearing Ge Guang's words, Yan tribe elders' expressions sank.
An elder sneered: "Ge tribe leader, you are too young, you do not know certain things, let me tell you. Our tribe's big missy Yan Cui Er had been engaged to Liu Wen Wu, her status is Liu Wen Wu's fiancée. If you do not help us save her, when Liu tribe pursues the matter, you will not be able to explain yourselves."
Ge Guang's expression changed.
There were a few super tribes in northern plains, among them were Hei tribe and Liu tribe.
Liu tribe's third young master Liu Wen Wu, was an expert in both the brush and sword , he had outstanding talent and high aspirations. This time, he brought his supporters from his tribe and separated from Liu tribe, trying to create his own tribe from scratch, he was one of the few most famous competitors for the throne of the imperial court.
Liu Wen Wu had a huge force, Yan Cui Er was his fiancée, if Ge tribe did not save her, Liu Wen Wu would definitely find trouble with them during the heroes assembly.
But now Ge tribe was in dire straits themselves, they had just lost a lot of high rank Gu Masters. If they fought the Water Demon, they would have to shoulder a great loss.
Ge Guang thought about his tribe's benefits and did not wish to make enemies with the Water Demon for no reason, but if they did nothing, it might attract Liu Wen Wu's animosity.
Ge Guang was very troubled.
Yan tribe leader saw Ge Guang's hesitation and laughed: "The righteous path had always stuck together, I believe that Ge tribe would not leave us in the lurch. Ge tribe has outstanding strength, you do not need to conceal it. When we came, we found a large number of wolf footprints, as long as Ge tribe mobilizes your enslavement path Gu Master, we are willing to pay three thousand primeval stones in advance."
Ge Guang was secretly furious.
Just three thousand primeval stones, were they giving loose change to a beggar?
He controlled his anger and laughed bitterly: "You might not know, this enslavement path Gu Master is not a member of Ge tribe, I cannot command him. He is Lord Chang Shan Yin."
"Chang Shan Yin?" Yan tribe leader was stunned, thinking that this name was very familiar.
Ge Guang then told him what he knew about Fang Yuan's origins and identity.
Yan tribe's gang were overjoyed at hearing the news.
"Chang Shan Yin, he is alive!"
"I remember now, he is someone from my generation. He was once famous throughout northern plains, a highly acclaimed genius enslavement path Gu Master."
"This is great! Even heaven is helping us, Chang tribe had already submitted to young master Liu Wen Wu, if we tell Chang Shan Yin our request, he will definitely help."
Yan tribe leader was candid: "Tribe leader Ge Guang, lead the way."
Ge Guang laughed bitterly: "If I can bring you to him, I would have done it long ago. Lord Chang Shan Yin returned this morning and announced he was going into closed cultivation to refine Gu, if we interrupt him, I'm afraid…"
"What are you afraid of?" Yan tribe leader stood up: "Chang Shan Yin is from the same generation as me, I've heard of him long ago. Chang tribe and Yan tribe are already under young master Liu Wen Wu, we are on the same side. Young master Liu Wen Wu is Chang Shan Yin's master. Furthermore, this matter is so important, it is no big deal even if we interrupt his Gu refinement. Bring me there."
"This…" Ge Guang hesitated.
Yan tribe leader's expression turned stiff: "Ge tribe leader, do not stall for time. If we are too late and my daughter faces mortal danger, when young master Liu Wen Wu blames you…"
Ge Guang gritted his teeth, conceding: "Alright, I will bring you there."
"Water Demon Hao Ji Liu?" Fang Yuan raised his eyebrows, looking at these Yan tribe Gu Masters.
"Brother Chang, you have been asleep for twenty years, you might not know this. This Water Demon was a rising star from the younger generation, after receiving a mysterious opportunity, he is already rank four upper stage at thirty-five years old." Yan tribe leader explained.
Fang Yuan nodded, exclaiming: "Northern plains is huge, there are countless heroes and conquerors! Since Yan tribe is asking with their life on the line, I shall make this trip."
The expression of Yan tribe's gang changed.
What was Chang Shan Yin saying! What 'life on the life', it sounded like they were very feeble and defenseless.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin, why are you lauding the spirit of the enemy and belittling that of our own? That Water Demon is scheming, hiding inside crescent lake while holding our big missy hostage, that is why we cannot take him down." An elder was indignant.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin, your Chang tribe has already submitted to young master Liu Wen Wu. This is your opportunity." Another elder spoke as if he was thinking for Fang Yuan's benefit.
Yan tribe leader smiled lightly: "Hehehe, brother Chang, with your help this time, what can a mere Water Demon amount to?"
Fang Yuan snickered: "By logic or emotion, I should help out. I will battle alongside all of you."
Yan tribe was overjoyed: "Good, let us set off now."
"Yan tribe's old man, I want ten million primeval stones and that backwater battle Gu, did you bring them?" Water Demon stood at the edge of crescent lake as he looked at the people with caution.
"Of course I brought it. Where is my daughter?" Yan Tian Ji said, taking out two Gu, one was a rank five storage Gu, the other was backwater battle Gu.
Backwater battle Gu was a rank five Gu, it could greatly boost the power of water path Gu worms, it was very precious with no market supply.
Seeing these two Gu, Water Demon's gaze became heated.
He had a young appearance, his face was pale as he had broad shoulders and a thin waist, he was handsome and had a carefree disposition. His sideburns were already turning white, giving him a mature aura.
"Return my daughter and I will pass you what you want. Now I want to see my daughter first." Yan Tian Ji said solemnly.
Water Demon snorted, snapping his fingers.
Swoosh!
In the lake water behind him, waves started moving as a giant fanshell appeared from under the water.
This fanshell was as big as an elephant, the surface was shiny. As the two sides of the shell opened, a young girl could be seen inside.
The young girl was tied up tightly, her mouth was gagged. When she saw Yan tribe leader she was so agitated that tears were flowing on her face as she struggled.
Water Demon snorted: "You've seen your daughter, now hand over the Gu. Don't try anything funny, your daughter is in my hands, if anything happens to her, how will you account to Liu Wen Wu? Hehehe…"
Damn it!"
"Despicable scum, fight me fair and square if you have the guts!"
Yan tribe elders gritted their teeth.
Yan tribe leader's expression was calm as water as he tossed two Gu towards Water Demon.
Water Demon received it carefully, he did not use his hand to grab it, but instead let the two Gu fall onto the ground.
"You did not do anything fishy to these Gu worms right?" Water Demon squinted, looking at Yan Tian Ji sharply.
Yan Tian Ji's expression was livid: "Hmph, go ahead and refine it."
Water Demon snickered: "Step back by thirty steps."
Yan tribe's gang had no choice but to comply.
Water Demon stared at the Yan tribe Gu Masters, before squatting down and picking up the two Gu worms.
He first inspected them and found no problems with them. Next, he carefully started refining the backwater battle Gu.
Backwater battle Gu had Yan Tian Ji's will, as he cooperated with Water Demon, it allowed him to refine the backwater battle Gu easily.
Water Demon chuckled: "Very good, Yan Tian Ji, you are very tactful. Next, I will inspect the primeval stones, if the amount of correct, I will return your precious daughter to you. Don't worry, I do not wish to be enemies with Liu Wen Wu, your daughter is still a virgin, I did not even touch her hands."
"Hmp!" Yan Tian Ji snorted, not saying a word.
He willed and aided Water Demon in refining the storage Gu.
Water Demon's mind entered the Gu as he saw a large amount of primeval stones, unable to control his joy as it showed on his face.
But at this time, from among these primeval stones, a Gu flew out and crashed onto him at breakneck speed.
Rank four — immobilization Gu!
"Strike!" Yan Tian Ji shouted, and the elders surrounded Water Demon quickly.
"Oh no!!" Water Demon was grabbing the storage Gu, as he was unable to move, he watched himself get surrounded helplessly.
"Water Demon, today will be your death date." Fang Yuan rode the hump wolf as he and a large group of wolves emerged from a nearby woodland.

Chapter 471: Wolf King, are you crazy?!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Kill!" Yan Tian Ji shouted.
In an instant, Yan tribe's Gu Masters starting attacking, using an assortment of moves.
Water flow, starfire, white bone, firebird, all sorts of attacks were unleashed and targeted Water Demon.
Bright rainbow color lights soon shone on Water Demon's face.
These attacks were eye-catching and dazzling, they were like fireworks in the night sky, beautiful and lethal.
Water Demon was in a dangerous situation, but he did not dodge or evade, instead he showed a cold smile.
In his eyes, a piercing eerie light burst out, the light was shining brightly as it stunned a Yan tribe elder in front of Water Demon.
This Yan tribe elder grimaced as he felt his vision blurring.
This was Water Demon, activating the rank three sight blow Gu, his gaze had a strong attack and could bypass defensive measures, directly attacking the Gu Master's soul.
Yan tribe elder who was attacked took three steps back, trying to regain his composure.
A mere rank three sight blow Gu could only be used as a surprise attack, it caused little damage to Yan tribe elder, it could not change this dangerous situation around for Water Demon.
But Water Demon's lips curled into a cold smile.
He activated his rank four yellow gold primeval essence, injecting it into one of the Gu in his aperture.
Rank four — Location Swap Gu!
Swoosh!
With a light sound, Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's body vanished, and reappeared at Yan tribe elder's location. As an exchange, the Yan tribe elder who was attacked appeared at his original location.
"Oh no!"
"Oh no, quickly stop!"
Yan tribe's Gu Masters shouted, such a change caught them off guard, they were greatly shocked.
They wanted to hold back on their attacks, but the attacks were already formed, they could not be stopped.
That Yan tribe elder was scared out of his wits, he frantically activated his defensive Gu, but this Gu only lasted for half a breath's time before dying.
"Academy elder!" Yan tribe leader Yan Tian Ji shouted, seeing his tribesmen dying in front of him, engulfed by the assortment of attacks, beaten to a pulp.
"Hahaha, great, great. It seems that Yan tribe Gu Masters are all dumb pigs, you actually killed yourselves. Hahaha…" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu laughed as he raised his head, saying in a mocking tone.
"Water Demon, Yan tribe will be enemies with you for all eternity!"
"Hao Ji Liu, I will tear your tendons apart to relieve this anger in me."
"Kill, tear this demon to shreds!"
Yan tribe Gu Masters shouted angrily, their necks turning red from agitation.
But even though they shouted loudly, none of them attacked.
Water Demon had a rank four location swap Gu, this was beyond their expectations.
Rank four location swap Gu was a unique movement Gu. One had to make contact with the other party in order to swap locations. But the use of the Gu worm not only depended on suitability, but also its compatibility with other Gu worms.
Water Demon Hao Ji Liu used the rank three sight blow Gu together with the location swap Gu. As long as his gaze attack works, it means he made contact with the other party, and he could use the location swap Gu using this exploit.
Hao Ji Liu had such a Gu worm, he was not afraid of fighting a crowd. This was why he dared to challenge the entire Yan tribe higher-ups, kidnapping Yan tribe's big missy Yan Cui Er, and extorting Yan tribe.
Although there were many Yan tribe Gu Masters, the academy elder just died in front of them, everyone was lost and did not have any confidence at the moment.
"Water Demon, so what if you have location swap Gu? This Gu causes intense primeval essence expenditure. How many times can you still use it? I'll tell you, we invited the righteous hero Wolf King Chang Shan Yin who had just returned, you are now surrounded by the wolf group, there is nowhere to run." At the crucial moment, Yan Tian Ji stood up, his words were like a tranquilizer that stabilized the people.
"Wolf King Chang Shan Yin?" Hao Ji Liu's gaze concentrated on Fang Yuan who was sitting on his wolf.
Fang Yuan had a broad shoulder and thin waist, his gaze was sharp and divine. He rode the hump wolf as he was surrounded by wolves, like he was standing at the top of a mountain, although he was silent, he gave Hao Ji Liu a strong sense of pressure.
"Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, I have heard of your name since I was young. You are not dead?" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu concentrated on guarding against the Yan tribe Gu Masters as he tried probing Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was a little more than three hundred steps away from Water Demon, he observed him from far away with a plain expression.
Water Demon's heart shook, although the sight blow Gu had a wide attack range and could attack anyone who could be seen with his eyes, the further the distance, the weaker the attack would be. A distance of three hundred steps was the limit of the sight blow Gu, and it had zero threat once the target was further than three hundred steps away.
Fang Yuan's location made Water Demon very uncomfortable.
This was a very peculiar distance, if Water Demon moved a step out, he could hit Fang Yuan, but it felt like Fang Yuan was trying to trick him into doing so.
Hao Ji Liu's heart felt greater pressure: "If this person really is Chang Shan Yin, I cannot use the sight blow Gu to attack him. Sight based attacks compete the souls of both Gu Masters, as an enslavement path Gu Master, his soul is definitely extremely strong."
"Are you really Chang Shan Yin? What evidence do you have? Hmph, your Yan tribe randomly brought one person to impersonate the Wolf King, do you think I am a fool?" Hao Ji Liu purposely snorted.
Yan Tian Ji laughed coldly: "Water Demon, you really failed to recognise Mount Tai. Is the Wolf King so easy to impersonate? When we battle later, you will feel the Wolf King's true power!"
"Lord Chang Shan Yin, it is up to you."
"Kill this Water Demon, get rid of a great threat to the people!"
The other Yan tribe elders shouted, trying to make Fang Yuan fight for them.
Fang Yuan sat on the wolf back, looking around. When he saw that his wolf group was at their planned location, and encircled this battlefield completely, he knew the time was ripe.
His lips curled, revealing a cold and callous smile.
He nodded slightly, the killing intent surging in his eyes: "Indeed, you reminded me, it is time to strike."
As he said that, the wolves howled as they opened their bloodthirsty mouths, flashing their sharp claws and teeth as they charged relentlessly.
In an instant, ten thousand wolves attacked and starting killing the Gu Masters.
The grand army caused everyone's expressions to change.
"Chang Shan Yin, what are you doing? How can you attack us?" Yan Tian Ji shouted furiously, while feeling shocked and suspicious.
"Quickly stop! We are on the same side."
"Wolf King, are you crazy? You dare to attack us? Our Yan tribe and your Chang tribe had already submitted to young master Liu Wen Wu!"
The other elders blocked the wolves as they shouted frantically.
"That is exactly why I am dealing with you all. Go in peace, I will send the Chang tribesmen to accompany you soon enough." Fang Yuan said hatefully, his face distorting into a maniacal expression.
Soon after, he shouted: "Hmph, I swore long ago, I will take revenge for what happened back then one by one!"
"Back then, when Chang Shan Yin fought Ha Tu Gu and the bandits alone, Chang tribe did not send a single person to help him, there were hidden reasons after all!" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu felt his heart jump as he thought of something.
He did not expect such a huge change, he dodged the wolves' attacks as he shouted anxiously: "Wolf King, I do not wish to be your enemy. The enemy of an enemy is a friend right?"
Fang Yuan gave him a cold glance, saying lightly: "Look at you jumping all over the place, you are simply like a flea, just die together with them."

Chapter 472: Power of the Enslavement Path!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"What?" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu was furious.
Ever since he started travelling the world, no one had dared to make such remarks about him or showed such contempt.
"Wolf King, you are too arrogant! Today, I shall make you pay the price for it!!" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu roared furiously and pushed forward with his palms.
Rank four — waterfall Gu!
His primeval essence poured crazily into the Gu, causing water vapor to fill the air, then with a rumbling sound, an enormous water stream appeared out of nowhere.
The water stream was incomparably fast, just like a waterfall crashing down from a high altitude.
The light silver rapid stream brought with it an intense chilly might as it fiercely struck the wolf group.
In an instant, over a thousand wolves died or were injured. The rapid stream spread far away, thoroughly clearing the area around Hao Ji Liu.
At the same time, Yan tribe's Gu Masters jointly activated a Gu worm.
This was a rank five wind barrier Gu; and when activated, it formed an enormous wind. The wind was silky, and brought with it some green threads as it surrounded everyone.
The wolf group's assault was all blocked by the formless wind. The wild Gu on many wolf kings attacked the wind barrier, but it was like a pebble falling into a sea as the attacks vanished without trace.
"How can this be?" On crescent lake, Yan Cui Er who was taken as a hostage looked at the intense battle on the lakeside with a dumbfounded look.
She had never expected the situation would develop in such a way. She, who had been the main reason of the fight previously, was now a spectator instead.
Hump wolves retreated, pulling distance from Fang Yuan and Water Demon Hao Ji Liu.
"Idiots." Fang Yuan sneered as he looked at Water Demon Hao Ji Liu charging over, approaching closer, and Yan tribesmen who were in a defensive formation.
Water Demon Hao Ji Liu and Yan tribe leader Yan Tian Ji were two rank four Gu Masters. Moreover, there were also Yan tribe's higher-ups; a dozen or so rank three Gu Masters, their strength could be said to be truly formidable.
However, an enslavement path Gu Master's strength was the ability to fight an army alone!
Back then, Chang Shan Yin led his wolf group and battled higher realm experts, not only killing rank five Gu Master Ha Tu Gu, but even exterminating Ha Tu Gu's group of valiant generals.
How?
Because he was an enslavement path Gu Master.
At present, the wolf group with Fang Yuan had already taken shape to form a decent size. The wolf group's scale had reached thirty thousand and above; not only did it contain hundred wolf kings and some thousand wolf kings, there was also a night wolf myriad beast king and a young mutated beast white-eyes wolf.
This scale might not even be half the size of the wolf group Chang Shan Yin had at his peak period, but it was already enough to annihilate two to three Ge tribes!
And right now, Fang Yuan only had to deal with just twenty or so Gu Masters, it was like using an ox cleaver to kill a chicken.
Sure enough, after some time, Water Demon Hao Ji Liu was gasping and his momentum gradually stopped.
He felt exhausted!
"Damn it! Such troublesome wolf manipulation skills, there are only some hundred wolf kings and thousand wolf kings…" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's gaze towards Fang Yuan had already changed right now.
It was not that he had not fought enslavement path Gu Masters, but how could those enslavement path Gu Masters he had fought before compare to Fang Yuan?
"Is this the Wolf King's wolf manipulation skills… being in it is like falling into a deep swamp, you sink deeper and deeper!" Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's heart turned cold as he kept on warding off the wolf group's assault.
He divided a bit of concentration to look into his aperture and grumbled.
That intense charge and the activation of many powerful abilities to clear the path had caused his primeval essence to be expended intensely, now there was less than half his total primeval essence left.
Once the primeval essence was at the point of exhaustion, a Gu Master's battle strength would start plummeting to the abyss.
Hao Ji Liu had no choice but to exercise restraint once he considered this to be a long battle. Like this, his momentum thoroughly disappeared and he was firmly surrounded by the wolf group.
"Water Demon Hao Ji Liu, a rank four Gu Master who uses water path Gu worms, has great offense and is an expert at fighting one against many. He roamed all over northern plains since his early years and has committed many crimes, gaining a bad reputation… After capturing Yan Cui Er and successfully extorting Yan tribe, he then went on to participate in the heroes assembly, offering Yan Cui Er to Hei Lou Lan. Hei Lou Lan was joyous and gave him great status. After entering Wang Ting blessed land and making great merits, Hao Ji Liu became Hei Lou Lan's number three general."
Fang Yuan recalled the relevant memories, his gaze flickering faintly.
In his past life, this Hao Ji Liu was also able to make a name for himself and after living actively for eighty-nine years, he was killed by Chang Shan Yin.
"Great offense usually means a huge consumption of primeval essence. Hao Ji Liu is nothing to worry about anymore, and right now, he should be secretly making an escape path for himself. He is good at escaping in water, it will not be easy to make him stay today. After all, there are not many water wolves with me. But my main target is not him, but Yan tribe's Gu Masters."
Fang Yuan turned his gaze towards the Yan tribesmen.
Yan tribe's Gu Masters were experts in defense and were famous for it in northern plains. These Gu Masters sure enough defended extremely well, their rank five wind barrier Gu was simply like a tortoise shell, firmly protecting everyone within it.
"Hmph, these Yan tribesmen are really naive, they still have the intention to protect their energy and watch from the sidelines when they are trapped. No wonder, history said Yan Tian Ji was extremely conservative, lacking initiative. Even though they want to stall for time, this is also exactly what I want." Fang Yuan sneered inwardly and intentionally slowed down the wolf group's offense.
As time passed, Hao Ji Liu and the Yan tribesmen's primeval essence were also being depleted.
Suddenly, a large group of shadows emerged from the woods.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin, we have arrived!" Ge tribe's current tribe leader Ge Guang arrived with Ge tribe's Gu Masters behind him.
"You came quite fast." Fang Yuan indifferently glanced at him with a profound meaning.
Ge Guang seemed to be pierced by the profound light in Fang Yuan's eyes as he unconsciously lowered his head and thought with reverence: ' This is the true heroic nature of the Wolf King, I didn't think I would see it today!'
"Yes, after receiving lord's letter, we immediately hurried over. People need to repay favors; lord, you have helped our Ge tribe time and again, lord's hatred is our Ge tribe's hatred too." Ge Guang immediately answered.
It would not have been good for Fang Yuan to make a move at Ge tribe camp, thus, he agreed to Yan tribe on the surface. After gathering all the wolves, he used a Gu worm to send a letter when they were halfway to the lake.
When Ge Guang received the letter and read it, his face was immediately filled with shock and horror.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin wants to attack the whole Yan tribe?" He could not help but cry out on the spot.
Stabilizing his emotions, he continued reading and saw Fang Yuan's reason for it.
It turned out that back then, Chang Shan Yin's mother had been secretly poisoned and Chang Shan Yin entered deep into poison grassland to search for the Gu worm that could detoxify the poison. On his way, he was ambushed by Ha Tu Gu and his group of experts. The whole matter was a sinister plot, it was due to internal conflict in Chang tribe and a move to suppress Chang Shan Yin.
In Fang Yuan's past life, after Chang Shan Yin was saved by Ma Hong Yun, he did not return to his tribe but instead joined Ma Hong Yun; it was also because of this reason. Later, after Chang Shan Yin helped Ma Hong Yun ascend to the position of Lord of the Imperial Court, he targeted Chang tribe, getting rid of all the Chang tribe higher-ups. He then became Chang tribe leader and took revenge for what happened back then.
Now, Fang Yuan was using this reason to deal with Yan tribe and persuade Ge Guang.
Ge tribe originally had ties of friendship with Chang tribe. When old Ge tribe leader had first met Fang Yuan, he had said that his second daughter was married in Chang tribe.
But after Ge Guang read the letter, he immediately made a decision to stand with Fang Yuan.
"Ge Guang, you have matured, Ge tribe will prosper under your rule." Fang Yuan lightly commented while sitting on a wolf, then waved his hand, "You don't need to move in this battle. It will be enough for you guys to make a tight encirclement. Remember that every Yan tribe elder that we block means a higher chance of success when we attack Yan tribe camp."
"Yes, junior shall listen to Wolf King's instruction!" Ge Guang agreed and brought the group of Gu Masters to outside the battlefield, forming an encirclement formation.
Seeing Ge tribe Gu Masters coming over to reinforce Fang Yuan, Yan tribe Gu Masters were shocked and furious.
"Ge Guang, you despicable, shameless scoundrel!" A Yan tribe elder shouted furiously.
"Ge tribe, you have made a wrong decision. Making our Yan tribe your enemy means you are going against young master Liu Wen Wu. None of you will have a good end!" Another elder cursed.
Ge Guang sneered, his heart filled with disdain.
Bringing out Liu tribe's name when their death was imminent, was there any use?
"We cannot wait any longer, we need to charge and break through!" Yan tribe elders realized the severity of the situation as they shouted with ashen expressions.
"Go!"
Yan tribesmen charged together, attempting to carve out a blood path.
Pill fire Gu, gold silkworm Gu, frost breath Gu, snowball Gu, tornado Gu, thunderclap Gu, fire claw Gu and other Gu were activated one after another. Fire and snow continually shot out, golden silkworm turned into a light ray and charged, blue frost breath was breathed out, tornado caused havoc, thunder rumbled in all directions, flames formed into claws and attacked…
Under this fierce assault from Yan tribe's Gu Masters, Fang Yuan's wolf group suffered heavy injuries, but they moved forward unceasingly, coming waves after waves disregarding their death.
"These Gu Masters might be experts among mortals, formed from rank three and rank four, but so what?" Fang Yuan maneuvered the wolf group while sitting on a wolf.
He had wolfman soul which made it a lot easier for him to maneuver these wolf group than when he had hundred man soul. It was as smooth as a wolf king personally commandeering them.
Fang Yuan's expression did not change at the sight of the wolves dying like flies, he remained aloof and indifferent.
These wolves were only ordinary wild beasts, if they died, then so be it, there was no heartache over it.
Instead, using them as cannon fodder to wear down these Gu Masters' primeval essence would be a great beneficial deal.
The weakness of these Yan tribe Gu Masters was their low numbers. Although they were experts, they lacked subordinates to share the pressure of the battlefield.
The battle was already in Fang Yuan's control and was moving in his intended direction; they simply did not have time to calm down and recover their primeval essence.
"Terrifying, there is actually such a fearsome wolf manipulation skill in this world!" A Yan tribe's elder said with ashen face.
"Could it be that we are going to die like this?" The aura of death was already pouncing upon them.
"Chang Shan Yin, by killing us, are you not afraid young master Liu Wen Wu would take revenge?!" An elder was hoping to pressure Fang Yuan.
"Charge, don't stop!" Yan Tian Ji shouted, his voice had already become hoarse and his primeval essence was less than half of his total amount.

Chapter 473: Righteous Path Hero
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"It is time." Fang Yuan willed, as the night wolf myriad beast king brought over a dozen night wolf thousand beast kings and entered the battle, blocking the Yan tribe Gu Masters.
Under the wolf group's attacks, Yan tribe suffered their first death.
Wolf howl Gu!
Fang Yuan howled at the sky, crying like a wolf as his voice spread far and wide, increasing the wolf group's battle strength.
Wolf smoke Gu!
Immediately after, he emitted dense smoke that engulfed the battlefield, healing the wolves' injuries.
Yan tribe were shocked.
Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's face became pale and white.
Earlier, Fang Yuan merely dispatched his wolves, now that he joined in, he turned to advantage into a victory.
Tens of hateful, frightened, furious, and icy gazes shot towards Fang Yuan. Under everyone's stare, Fang Yuan smiled lightly as he moved backwards with the hump wolf, pulling some distance from Yan tribe's gang.
To prevent the 'beheading the leader' tactic, Fang Yuan had many wolves around him, he even had a white-eyes wolf, although it had not matured yet, it still surpassed ordinary hundred wolf kings in terms of battle strength.
Seeing Fang Yuan's movement, the trapped Gu masters felt their hearts sinking as their spirits dampened, they had a feeling of being captured by a demon, and had no way to escape.
TIme continued to pass, Yan tribe Gu Masters seemed to have fallen into a swamp as they sank deeper as they struggled.
Fang Yuan had used cannon fodder wolves earlier to expend their primeval essence, the effect was starting to show.
Yan tribe elders died in battle one by one, as a sad and angry atmosphere took over the battlefield.
"Chang Shan Yin, I will not let you off even as a ghost!" An elder screamed, cursing before his death.
But this curse only made Fang Yuan scoff coldly in his heart: "You have no chance to be a ghost, your soul will become fertilizer for Dang Hun mountain."
"Wolf King, fight me alone if you dare!" Yan tribe's battle hall elder screamed.
"Come, you coward, you chicken!" He tried to provoke Fang Yuan, using the last drop of his primeval essence to charge at Fang Yuan for the final time.
Fang Yuan looked at him expressionlessly, as he willed, the wolves charged over like a wave and ripped the battle hall elder to shreds even before he got near.
As the wolves dispersed, his broken corpse remained on the ground. His bones were showing as blood poured out, his furious eyes were staring wide towards the air.
"Battle hall elder…" Yan Tian Ji growled, his body was trembling. With the sacrifice of each elder, an intense pain assaulted his heart every time, he was turning numb from the anguish.
"Chang Shan Yin, you will die a painful death! In spite of being a righteous hero, you actually assaulted your comrades! You will not have a good ending, young master Liu Wen Wu will take revenge for us!!" Yan Tian Ji's face was full of hatred, his expression twisting into an ugly sight. If it was possible, he would love to eat Fang Yuan's flesh and drink his blood.
"Hmph, the curses of a loser is just like the whimpering of a dog before death. Entrusting your hopes of revenge to others, that is a weakling's mentality." Fang Yuan evaluated coldly before waving his hand, as the night wolf myriad beast king burst out like a dark lightning, sending Yan Tian Ji flying.
Yan Tian Ji's primeval essence was expended, after this blow, almost all his bones were broken.
He was like a kite with its strings cut, flying far away and drawing an arc of red blood in the air. When he landed, his entire body was smashed as he no longer breathed.
"Lord!" Ge Guang led a band of elders as he hurried over.
"Wolf King is mighty! After this battle, Yan tribe's higher-ups were all exterminated, there was only one rank three elder left in Yan tribe camp. The letter Gu that Yan Tian Ji sent out was obstructed by us, Yan tribe has no idea what just happened now. It is a good time to assault them." Ge tribe's battle hall elder shouted.
"It is a pity that Water Demon Hao Ji Liu escaped, Lord Wolf King, do you think we should chase after Water Demon or take down Yan tribe camp?" Ge Guang asked.
Fang Yuan smiled indifferently: "Of course we attack Yan tribe camp."
A clam Gu spun its body as it dived in crescent lake rapidly.
Swoosh!
The clam drilled out of the water surface as its shells opened, shoot out two people who were inside.
They were a male and a female, the male was Water Demon Hao Ji Liu, and the female was Yan tribe's big missy Yan Cui Er.
"Huff huff huff… " Hao Ji Liu's breathed roughly as he looked behind with lingering fear. He only relaxed after seeing there was no one chasing him.
This was a floating island on crescent lake, when Hao Ji Liu was scouting the area, he chose this as his third route to escape.
"Wolf King Chang Shan Yin…" Hao Ji Liu muttered this name in his heart. Hatred, anguish, fear, and shock were flashing in his eyes as he showed a complex expression.
Until now, he had never faced such a huge loss.
With rank four upper stage cultivation, he could roam northern plains freely. But today, he met Fang Yuan and felt an unprecedented weakness, helplessness, and loneliness.
"This is the strength of an enslavement path Gu Master? This is not even his peak condition. Back then, Chang Shan Yin could kill Ha Tu Gu who was a realm higher than him, and exterminate the entire group of bandits, how great was his strength back then?"
Hao Ji Liu thought about this as he felt difficulty in breathing.
Fang Yuan's wolf manipulation skills made him think of Jiang Bao Ya, Yang Po Ying and Ma Zun.
"It seems that among the first-rate enslavement masters in northern plains, they would no longer be just three people, but it would be a contest among four. Luckily, he did not have many water wolves with him, otherwise I would be dead meat today."
Thinking of the dangerous scene when he escaped for his life, Hao Ji Liu felt a great fear.
"But why do I have the feeling that Chang Shan Yin purposely gave me a way out?" Hao Ji Liu was a vigilant person, when he recalled the scene, he felt a sense of suspicion.
"A pity that Yan tribe's higher-ups were all killed by Chang Shan Yin, I can no longer extort them. But forget about that, I have already obtained backwater battle Gu, this trip was a success. Now, I should follow my original plan and escort this Yan tribe missy to young master Hei Lou Lan, as a gift." Thinking so, Hao Ji Liu's eyes shone with brilliance.
The ten year blizzard of northern plains, it was a huge challenge even for lone travelling demonic Gu Masters.
But with the lack of resources, Hao Ji Liu wanted to use the heroes assembly to join a certain force. If he was lucky enough to enter the imperial court, not only will Hao Ji Liu keep his life, his cultivation would even go a step further.
There were a few favourite candidates in this contest to be the lord of the imperial court.
Hao Ji Liu thought about it and decided to bet on the most popular person — young master Hei Lou Lan.
Hei Lou Lan's lecherous nature was known to all. If Hao Ji Liu gave Yan Cui Er to him, he would be handsomely rewarded. Yan Cui Er was not only beautiful like a flower, she also had a special identity, the fiancée of young master Liu Wen Wu.
And Liu Wen Wu was one of Hei Lou Lan's fiercest competitors in this contest for the imperial court.
Making your arch-enemy's fiancee part of your harem, this was an irresistible temptation to Hei Lou Lan.
"If Yan tribe was still around, this gift would be extremely importantly. Unfortunately, after Wolf King killed Yan tribe's higher-ups, he would definitely deal with Yan tribe." Thinking of this, Hao Ji Liu gave a mocking gaze at the dazed Yan Cui Er, whistling.
He made fun of her: "Little beauty, you have to thank me. If I did not save you, you would've died in the hands of Chang Shan Yin."
Yan Cui Er's thick brows moved as she seemed to have woken up from a nightmare: "What do you mean?"
"Hmph, what meaning is there? Chang Shan Yin killed your father and all the elders with him. He will definitely take over Yan tribe, the wolf group must be on their way to Yan tribe camp already. Hehehe, you were a young missy, but now, you're going to be alone soon."
"No, no way!" Yan Cui Er shook her head, her expression was pale. She tried her best to deny it, but her logic told her that Hao Ji Liu's conjecture was accurate.
"Chang Shan Yin is a great righteous hero, how could he do something like this?" She refused to face such a cruel reality, her tears fell like pearls as they flowed down her cheeks, onto the ground. The crying of a beauty, the weeping of a lady, it was a painful scene.
"Righteous hero?" Hao Ji Liu sneered: "Sometimes, righteous heroes are more terrifying than us demonic path cultivators. I only kidnapped you and extorted your tribe, but when Chang Shan Yin strikes, he would destroy and devour your tribe. The worst thing is, he has a proper reason to do so, claiming he is taking revenge, he is the ultimate victor. Once Yan tribe is gone, who can rebuke him? Hmph, this is the truth of this dogshit world!"
Yan Cui Er was in shock as she listened, suddenly she kneeled on the ground as she grabbed Hao Ji Liu's pants, begging: "Please, please save my Yan tribe. My father's letter Gu were all blocked, Yan tribe is without a leader now, and have no clue what is coming, they don't know the danger waiting for them."
The world was wondrous and cruel, Yan Cui Er had never thought that one day, she would kneel down on the ground and beg the enemy she had hated the most.
"My father is dead, I am Yan tribe's next leader. Hao Ji Liu, help me, send a letter for me and inform them. As long as Yan tribe remains, I am Yan tribe leader, I can decide on this and make you Yan tribe's external elder, all of our resources will be yours to use!" Yan Cui Er gave her side of the deal.
The words made Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's heart jump, external elder? Yan tribe's resources?
It was a good suggestion!
But when Fang Yuan's figure appeared in Hao Ji Liu's mind, he shuddered.
"Hmph, you dare to tempt me?" His expression changed as he gave Yan Cui Er a tight slap.
Yan Cui Er grabbed her face as her tears fell, completely stunned by this as she looked at Hao Ji Liu blankly.
"Don't worry, I have already found a good partner for you. Hehehe…" Hao Ji Liu laughed as he grabbed Yan Cui Er, tossing her into the clam Gu.
The large clam's shells closed, as Hao Ji Liu stepped on the water surface, giving the shore one last look.
At Yan tribe camp's position, there were huge fires as smoke rose into the air.
"Yan tribe is finished!" Hao Ji Liu was gloating but he also felt a chill in his heart.
This world worked on the survival of the fittest, there is one mountain higher than a mountain, and a person stronger than another person. Yan tribe was a huge force to him, but to Chang Shan Yin, it was just a plump juicy meat.
"In the following competition for the imperial court, northern plains will definitely be shook as heroes and conquerors arise, I wonder how many people will lose their lives?"
Hao Ji Liu sighed and exclaimed as he travelled west on the large clam.

Chapter 474: Surrender
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
In the fire of war that spread everywhere, the wolf group surged forward with craze.
The attack on Yan tribe camp had already lasted for four hours. Yan tribe's Gu Masters were experts at defense, but because of the successful ambush and there being no leader, the Yan tribe camp was already ruined beyond recognition by now. There were broken walls everywhere along with human and wolf corpses.
"Brothers, hold on, we need to hold on!" In the center of the camp, the remaining forces of Yan tribe stubbornly resisted.
However, the wolf group surged forward with no end, and the whole defense line was already on the verge of collapse.
"Kill, kill these invaders!"
"Despicable Ge tribe, I curse your entire clan to perish!!"
Besides these curses, there were also the weeping of the old and feeble, the women and the children.
Seeing their family and friends behind them, the already exhausted Yan tribesmen squeezed out every bit of strength they could muster.
In their hearts, a thought kept them going, telling them to hold up their defense, that they must defend! Behind them were their wives, children and their parents. If they could not resist, then all their relatives would end up in the wolves' mouths!
Suddenly, a thousand wolf king broke through the battle line and charged into the depths of the formation.
"Nooo!"
"Careful!"
"Get away!"
The Gu Masters at the frontline roared with fury in their eyes, but it was already too late for them to rescue anyone; they could only stare as the thousand wolf king opened its bloody mouth and started slaughtering the old, feeble, women and children.
"Bastard, you are looking for death!" At this time, a seriously injured Gu Master who was lying on the ground with just one hand and one leg remaining, jumped up with a strength that god knew where it came from and threw himself into the wolf's mouth.
The thousand wolf king bit his waist and almost severed him into two.
The Gu Master foamed from his mouth, and gave a desperate yet satisfied smile.
He fiercely clenched the wolf's head and roared: "Evil beast, die with me."
With that, he self-destructed; blood splashed everywhere and the thousand beast king also died with him.
The encircling Ge tribesmen all saw this scene; someone sighed: "Yan tribe's sons are so brave!"
Fang Yuan lightly nodded.
Although Yan tribe did not show initiative, they were experts at defense and were extremely united. In this invasion, the number of wolves that died were truly beyond his original estimation.
However, Fang Yuan did not feel any pain and snorted: "What is the use even if they were to be more brave? Those defeated usually have no hope of reprieve; this is the cruelty of the struggle for Imperial Court. Okay, this is enough, go ask them to surrender."
These words caused the Ge tribe's Gu Masters to feel a chill: If they were ever to be defeated, their tribe would be at the same state as the Yan tribe before them.
However, when their gaze landed on Fang Yuan, their heart relaxed: With the Wolf King beside us, our Ge tribe has a great tree to lean on. We still need to rely on the Wolf King to lead us.
The intense and fierce battlefield gradually quietened.
The wolf group stopped their offence and slowly retreated, opening up a path. A Ge tribe elder moved through the path and appeared before Yan tribesmen.
"Yan tribesmen, surrender." The Ge tribe elder shouted loudly, "Northern plains elites are those who can adapt to circumstances!"
"Bullshit! I shall never surrender to you shameless sneak attackers!"
"Come, just cut my head off."
"Yan tribe's descendants would rather die than surrender!"
Some Gu Masters roared furiously, but there were also some whose gaze loosened and showed hesitation.
The Ge tribe elder sneered: "If you don't surrender, we won't lose anything in killing you all. But shouldn't you consider your wives and children behind you? They will die a cruel death just because of your stubborn resistance. You will be the ones who harmed them."
These words caused the Yan tribe's remnant forces to quieten.
The chilly wind blew across everyone's faces. Those Yan tribe's Gu Masters who had been roaring furiously had a sluggish expression now. They looked back and their expressions turned soft.
Only the Yan tribe elder felt extreme hatred towards Ge tribe's psychological tactics when he sensed everyone's fighting spirit crumbling. However, this discontent, when it reached his mouth, turned into a sigh.
Under everyone's gazes, he walked forward and said forcibly: "Our Yan tribe… surrenders!"
"Lord!"
"Lord elder…"
Yan tribe's Gu Masters shouted one after another; some couldn't believe it, some weeped with grief and some felt relieved.
At the same time, Ge tribe's Gu Masters also rejoiced.
"Victory, victory!"
"The situation is set, we have annexed Yan tribe!"
They were both at the same place, but their situation was as different as cloud was from mud.
"Gather the troops and clean up the battlefield." Ge Guang also had a joy he could hardly contain on his face. Considering their strength, Ge tribe was below Yan tribe, but they were able to swallow this big force in one move!
"As long as we digest these war spoils, our Ge tribe's strength will increase by three times, even surpassing the strength we had back at Hong Yan valley. This is all thanks to lord Chang Shan Yin!" Ge Guang could not help looking at Fang Yuan when he thought of this.
Truthfully, Ge Guang had hesitated when he received Fang Yuan's letter.
But this hesitation was only for an instant before it turned into resolution. The fact had proved his choice was a correct one.
"If I had refused the Wolf King back then, I'm afraid our Ge tribe would have had the same ending as the Yan tribe." Ge Guang's reverence towards Fang Yuan deepened by another level.
Fang Yuan sized up the whole Yan tribe camp from above the hump wolf.
There were broken debris everywhere; fire still lingered, corpses littered the place and blood dyed the ground red.
All the Yan tribesmen who were hiding were searched and arrested. Yan tribe's Gu Masters were tied with manacles and leg-irons, their Gu worms seized and their primeval essence locked as they were taken as captives and were strictly watched.
Fang Yuan's expression was tranquil, he had seen such situations many times. In the great battle of five regions in his previous life, the situation had been much more bitter and terrifying than this.
"Yan tribe is annihilated, next is the heroes assembly. Before this, I need to return to Hu Immortal blessed land. I also need to go to Lang Ya blessed land once, if my luck is good…."
Three days later, it was a night where many stars filled the sky.
Fang Yuan led the wolf group and came upon a remote area. He first used moving perspective cup Gu to communicate with Little Hu Immortal, then used stargate Gu to return back to Hu Immortal blessed land.
This time, thousands of wolves entered with him.
These wolves were either injured or old with weak battle strength.
Ordinary enslavement path Gu Masters' only choice, in this case, would be to sacrifice them as cannon fodder in battle to stop them from consuming more rations. However, Fang Yuan possessed a blessed land and thus had a better option.
That was to breed them.
"These wild wolves can reproduce at the blessed land and several months later, they should be able to give birth to wolf cubs." Fang Yuan moved this wolf group to the western part of the blessed land.
In this world, the wild beasts' ability to reproduce were very strong; adding on to the Hu Immortal blessed land's six times faster time flow than northern plains, Fang Yuan's troops would from now on be self-replenished.
With this, Hu Immortal blessed land's western part became the wolf group's farming land; the northern part was almost completely cut off by Fang Yuan; eastern part was covered with dark clouds along with tens of lakes which filled the air with moisture; and the southern part was the stonemen's homeland.
In the center was Dang Hun mountain which was gradually dying after being struck by gruel mud Gu.
"Master, master, I have already settled down the starlight worms according to your instructions. Come take a look." Little Hu Immortal was extremely happy at seeing Fang Yuan again, and dragged Fang Yuan to the eastern part of the blessed land.
"Master, look up!" Little Hu Immortal said with a delicate voice.
Fang Yuan looked up at the sky, and saw a large expanse of light blue color clouds.
Threads of starlight shone down like a dreamy gauze and shook gently with the breeze. The scene was very beautiful as if it was carved out of a painting.
Fang Yuan looked carefully and discovered these clouds were not originally blue color, but rather a large number of star fragment grass were planted on them. Star fragment grass were deep blue in color, and starlight fireflies fluttered among the grass, shining with spects of light. Moreover among the starlight fireflies were starlight firefly Gu that blossomed with true starlight radiance.
"Not bad." Fang Yuan evaluated.
Little Hu Immortal immediately squinted her eyes in happiness, rubbing her small head against Fang Yuan's hand and said with her delicate voice: "Master, pat me."
Fang Yuan lightly smiled and rubbed Little Hu Immortal's head.
Little Hu Immortal's long snowy tail immediately curled, the two furry ears on her head also lowered gently and her face reddened in happiness.
Fang Yuan had bought many star fragment grass from treasure yellow heaven. However the grass was extremely peculiar and could not be planted on any mortal soil, only on clouds.
When they had transacted, Fairy Yao Guang had suggested Fang Yuan to buy cloud soil to raise star fragment grass. But Fang Yuan did not take her suggestion because there were enormous scale of dark clouds in Hu Immortal blessed land.
These dark clouds were created from the water and fire collision, when Fang Yuan eradicated the earthly calamities' effects.
The dark clouds did not dissipate and covered the eastern part of Hu Immortal blessed land, and was a problem that was neither big nor small. It had been obstructing light for a long time and was affecting the whole eastern part's ecology.
However, now, Fang Yuan used it to plant star fragment grass and turned this calamity into fortune. Not only was it making use of trash, but it also saved Fang Yuan a lot of expenses in buying large amounts of cloud soil.
At present, large plots of star fragment grass were already growing on the dark clouds. The starlight firefly worms lived among them, filling the whole eastern land with beautiful starlight.
"As long as I properly cultivate these star fragment grass, there will be guarantee in the reproduction of the starlight firefly worms. In future, there will be much more starlight firefly Gu to use. If the cultivation raises to an optimum level and there is a surplus of starlight firefly Gu, I can put them at treasure yellow heaven to sell. In the battle of five great regions, starlight firefly worms will be one of the Gu worms with most demand."
Fang Yuan slightly looked forward to the beautiful future, before returning to Dang Hun mountain with Little Hu Immortal.
Standing at the peak of the mountain, he grabbed the soul burial toad Gu.
When he besieged Yan tribe's higher-ups and during the whole process of attacking Yan tribe camp, he had been using the soul burial toad to collect the souls on the battlefield.
He released all the souls from the soul burial toad.
These pitiful souls had just exited when they were shaken up by the mystical power of Dang Hun mountain, and were turned into the purest nutrient, nourishing the whole Dang Hun mountain.
"Tomorrow, Dang Hun mountain will again be filled with guts Gu." Fang Yuan nodded his head with satisfaction.
Gathering large numbers of souls was one of the reasons why he killed Yan tribe.
"Tonight, it is time for me to breakthrough to rank five." Fang Yuan's cultivation did not receive any suppression when he got back to Hu Immortal blessed land, he was at true rank four peak stage.
He had already stayed at rank four peak stage for a long time. And with his current A grade aptitude, it was time to challenge the boundaries of rank five realm!

Rumble…
The ninety percent primeval sea in the aperture surged with high waves, and true gold primeval essence shone brightly on the aperture walls.
The aperture walls were also extraordinary; sparkling and clear like crystals, containing life force in them. This was the crystal membrane of rank four peak stage realm.
Waves continually surged, reaching towards the sky. Then, they crashed towards the crystal membrane wave after waves.
At first, the crystal membrane was like the reef of a sea, being unmovable. But it gradually became unable to endure the fierce waves and cracks started appearing.
As time passed, bigger cracks appeared.
The primeval sea slowly reduced, while the crystal membrane was full of cracks and appeared extremely fragile. However, there was still a little distance left from breakthrough.
Fang Yuan was sitting cross-legged on the bed with both his eyes closed, and almost all his attention was on the aperture.
He possessed ninety percent aptitude which was classified as A grade, and also had very deep accumulation; he could breakthrough to rank five realm just by relying on his own strength.
Right now, there was about twenty percent left of the primeval sea; the sea waves had also weakened and was getting to the point of being tranquil.
But suddenly, as if it was accumulating its strength, a huge wave erupted out of the true gold primeval sea.
This wave was fierce and majestic, surpassing any of the waves from before; it was like a tsunami, soaring up and then fiercely smashing towards the aperture walls.
Boom!
A soft sound echoed, and the aperture walls were finally unable to bear the pressure. They were smashed into pieces by this enormous wave.
The shattered fragments of the crystal aperture walls were like a broken ice mountain, and as they fell into the sea they turned into pure essence before slowly melting down.
After a while, the fragments on the crystal walls had all fallen down, leaving behind a light membrane that covered everything.
The light membrane was dazzling with very powerful aura, far surpassing the rank four peak stage crystal wall; this was the appearance of a true rank five initial stage!
Following it, a trace of light purple primeval essence appeared in the depths of the sea.
Rank one Gu Masters had green copper primeval essence; rank two had red iron primeval essence; rank three had white silver primeval essence; rank four had yellow gold primeval essence; and rank five was purple crystal primeval essence.
Although it was only a thread of light purple, it was a qualitative difference.
From now on, Fang Yuan's primeval essence would be light purple primeval essence!
"Since my rebirth, I have wandered around everywhere, drifting miserably. Yet now I am finally a rank five Gu Master." Inside Dang Hun palace, Fang Yuan slowly opened his eyes and sighed with joy.
Rank five Gu Masters were the lords in this mortal world, the true peak stage. Those who could cultivate to this stage were not even one in ten thousand.
If it were others, they might have already become wild with joy. However, Fang Yuan had already experienced this in his previous life. Right now, rather than ecstasy, what he felt was joy towards his future prospects.
"Compared to my previous life, being able to enter rank five at such a young age is truly a success."
Fang Yuan was only thirty and so at present; cultivating to rank five at this age was a performance that would only be seen in the absolute top geniuses of the five great regions.
"But rank five is not my end point; it is only a starting point. Next, I need to once again advance to Gu Immortal!"
Those genius Gu Masters would feel some hesitation when they talked about charging to Gu Immortal realm. However, Fang Yuan had his previous life's experiences, thus he had plenty of confidence in advancing to Gu Immortal realm.
"After becoming a Gu Immortal, the deadly crisis from Spring Autumn Cicada can be completely resolved."
Fang Yuan looked at Spring Autumn Cicada.
Since this rebirth, Spring Autumn Cicada had fallen into deep hibernation, continually absorbing the water from river of time and recuperating.
Right now, it had already mostly recovered and a faint pressure was filling Fang Yuan's aperture.
For a long time now, Spring Autumn Cicada was like a guillotine hovering above Fang Yuan's neck. As time passed, this enormous guillotine would move closer towards his neck.
Spring Autumn Cicada gave Fang Yuan an enormous death threat, forcing him to risk dangers and do everything he could to advance his cultivation.
Only by reaching the rank six Gu Immortal realm, could Fang Yuan's aperture be able to store Spring Autumn Cicada.
At that time, Fang Yuan would have more freedom and leisure, and not be so repressed like now.
Light purple primeval essence continually appeared in the aperture, settling down below the remaining gold primeval essence.
Fang Yuan gathered his concentration and slowly stood up, walking out of this secret room and into another room.
There were several large vats in this room.
There was green liquid in the vats and a purple crystal relic Gu was floating on each liquid.
There were six purple crystal relic Gu. Most of them had been purchased by Fang Yuan or Little Hu Immortal from treasure yellow heaven.
Purple crystal relic Gu could raise a rank five Gu Master's cultivation! Fang Yuan had paid a considerable price for them.
Fang Yuan only required three purple crystal relic Gu to raise his cultivation to the peak stage. But right now, he looked at the vats with various liquids.
One vat had muddy green liquid; another had a mixture of green and yellow; and the purple crystal relic Gu on two of the vats had tiny purple black hair growing out of them.
The remaining two vats had clear green liquid with no change.
Fang Yuan snorted; most of these six purple crystal relic Gu had been tampered with.
With his five hundred years of experience, Fang Yuan was able to conjecture something wrong with these relic Gu.
Among the purple crystal relic Gu in these six vats of green liquid, only two could be used. Fang Yuan immediately took out the two purple crystal relic Gu from the clear green liquid and used them.
Using two relic Gu, Fang Yuan's cultivation immediately rose to rank five upper stage realm.
Fang Yuan again took out two purple crystal relic Gu whose bodies were filled with tiny hairs, and repeatedly used them.
The two relic Gu's strength combined and was able to raise his cultivation to rank five peak stage!
In a short period of time, Fang Yuan advanced from rank five initial stage to rank five peak stage, completing an enormous jump. Moreover, relic Gu had no side-effects and would not cause his foundation to weaken.
Gu Master's cultivation was extremely focused on resources. As long as there were enough resources, cultivation could make rapid progress.
Theoretically, as long as one had sufficient relic Gu, a Gu Master's cultivation could advance in a lightning speed. But in reality, extremely few Gu Masters did this.
One reason was that relic Gu could only raise a Gu Master's cultivation by a small realm; every great realm required the Gu Masters to breakthrough by themselves. It was extremely easy to raise cultivation with enough relic Gu, but this would instead cause normal Gu Masters to be reliant on them, and breaking through a great realm would become much harder.
Second, higher realm did not represent everything. To survive in this cruel world, one still needed planning, wisdom, opportunity, experience and training. A sudden increase in strength without the knowledge to control it was like an infant brandishing a broadsword, they could injure somebody and injure themselves.
Third, relic Gu were extremely expensive, few Gu Masters could enjoy advancing so lavishly. Even if a Gu Immortal's descendants could enjoy such treatment, their elders would not allow them to be so spoiled.
Finally, there was an even more important point, and that was aptitude. Without good aptitude, relic Gu would have no use even if there were more of it. Fang Yuan could smoothly advance to rank five because of his experience and also the great help from A grade aptitude.
Fang Yuan might be the only one who could could use relic Gu like this repeatedly to sharply raise his cultivation.
If it were other rank five Gu Masters, even if they were geniuses from the Shang house clan, they would still have to follow the prescribed order. After all, a Gu Master's cultivation still required long training of Gu worms. High cultivation could not directly indicate the battle strength, it was no more than making oneself look like a fat target.
Previous life experiences were Fang Yuan's great wealth that allowed him to smoothly control this burst of strength.
Unknowingly, a night had already passed while dashing through the cultivation levels. Fang Yuan walked out of Dang Hun palace and onto Dang Han mountain.
Just like he expected, many guts Gu had grown on the mountain rocks.
He walked a few steps and crouched, casually kneading one, but it was only a pile of yellow mud.
Even since Dang Hun mountain was struck by Immortal Gu Gruel Mud, it gradually began to die and a part of the guts Gu created on it would become yellow paste.
Fang Yuan's expression did not change as he had already expected this; he again pinched seven to eight guts Gu.
But in this process, he only got two good guts Gu. Using their strength, his wolfman soul slightly strengthened once more.
"The Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's strength has already invaded deep. I remember that four to five guts Gu would be intact out of ten. Now, only three or four are good." Fang Yuan sighed.
Although these yellow mud were all gruel mud and could be sold at treasure yellow heaven, but compared to the guts Gu, the difference in worth was as different as night and day, and was an enormous loss.
Fortunately, all these guts Gu belonged to Fang Yuan alone.
Although six or seven out of ten guts Gu were useless, with their enormous numbers it was still enough for Fang Yuan's soul to progress greatly.
"Now, I am at rank five peak stage, and the next step would be to attack the Gu Immortal realm. But this matter is quite difficult and I need many preparations and attempt it slowly." Fang Yuan inwardly planned.
With rank five peak stage aperture, Spring Autumn Cicada's pressure had greatly resolved.
The urgent matter was to rescue Dang Hun mountain.
Though Dang Hun mountain was dying, saving it would be a great help to Fang Yuan's future cultivation, even after he advanced to Gu Immortal realm.
After completely cleaning off all the guts Gu on the mountain, Fang Yuan entered Dang Hun palace again and collaborated with Little Hu Immortal to activate connecting heaven Gu.
Wave after waves of divine sense were mutually tangling up in treasure yellow heaven.
Just after they opened connecting heaven Gu, a large divine sense rushed was transmitted to Little Hu Immortal, asking about the price of gruel mud.
Fang Yuan had sold great amounts of gruel mud and this attracted many Gu Immortals' interest.
Using these gruel mud for the Immortal Gu recipe, one could refine the Immortal Gu Gruel Mud. Although this Gu could only be used once, it was a genuine Immortal Gu. In this environment where Immortal Gu were scarce, Gu Immortals scrabbled madly for Fang Yuan's gruel mud.
As for these gruel mud, Fang Yuan's price was Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's recipe.
Originally, these Gu Immortals brought incomparably damaged remnant recipes that did not have even ten feet of treasure light. But after a few days, the recipes these Gu Immortals brought out had already reached a treasure light of thirty to forty feet.
Fang Yuan still kept on disregarding them; he had large amounts of gruel mud to sell. In fact, none of the gruel mud recipes that appeared nowadays could satisfy him.

Chapter 476: Air Bubble Fish
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Connecting heaven Gu inlaid itself in the air, figures of wolves flashed past one after another in the mirror.
Suddenly, the scene fixed itself on a turtleback myriad wolf king.
Turtleback wolves possessed broad physique, their whole body was dark-green and they had dark-blue eyes. Every turtleback wolf had shell like that of a turtle.
This shell was very heavy and about one-third of a turtleback wolf's weight was due to it. Apart from defensive purpose, it could also store nutrition just like camels.
This species had the strongest defense among the wolves.
And the myriad beast wolf king that showed on connecting heaven Gu was no doubt even more enormous, being ten times larger than ordinary turtleback wolves. Its turtle back was towering high, the strong shell shone with bronze color, giving a feeling of abundant strength and power.
"The scale of the wolf group I have is close to thirty thousand. They can mainly be divided into three wolf groups; turtleback wolves, night wolves and wind wolves. There are around ten thousand wolves in each group. Besides them, there are also few poison beard wolves which were obtained from the poisonous grassland. There are also over a hundred water wolves which I bought because of white-eyes wolf."
Originally, Fang Yuan had over thirty thousand wolves. But after several battles, the loss accumulated and now he only had around twenty-seven thousand. After he sent the old, weak and injured wolves sent to Hu Immortal blessed land, the number of wolves left was less than twenty-five thousand.
Thus, they needed to be replenished.
If ordinary enslavement path Gu Masters wanted to replenish their beast group, they would need to organize a group to hunt, requiring much effort and time, moreover they could not take in too big of a beast group.
Fang Yuan, however, after possessing connecting heaven Gu, was like standing on a Gu Immortal's shoulder, he had one more option than ordinary Gu Masters, that is to purchase the beast groups in treasure yellow heaven.
Most blessed lands would breed wild beasts. However, when the beast population increased a lot, they would influence the ecology of the blessed lands, and the Gu Immortals that controlled the blessed lands would put them for sale in treasure yellow heaven. Like this, not only could it reduce the pressure on the blessed land, it could also provide some revenue.
Similarly, many Gu Immortals who wanted to nurture the blessed land and replenish the ecology, would purchase some beasts to breed in their blessed lands. Thus, transactions of beast groups was extremely common in treasure yellow heaven.
There were many dazzling lineups of wolf groups put for sale in treasure yellow heaven.
Northern plains' night wolves, wind wolves, water wolves, poison beard wolves, turtleback wolves; southern border's lightning wolves, azure wolves, blood wolves, two-headed wolves; western desert's silk wolves, pearl wolves, sand wolves, tyrant wolves; eastern seas' ink wolves, greed wolves, red wolves, goldback wolves; central continent's white-eyes wolves, star wolves, color wolves, blood wolves…
The wolves put for sale were not only common wild beasts, but also mutated beasts like white-eyes wolves, tyrant wolves and greed wolves.
Of course, there were no desolate beast level wolves which had battle strength comparable to Gu Immortals. But Fang Yuan knew there was a desolate beast peach wolf in Lang Ya blessed land.
"Among the three greatest wolf groups I have, only night wolf group has a myriad beast king. If my wind wolves and turtleback wolves also had myriad beast kings to unite them, I would not need to control the hundred wolf kings and thousand wolf kings; it will greatly reduce the burden when I command them. By reducing the burden on my soul, I can then take in even more wolf groups."
Fang Yuan did not intend to replace the wolf groups, that would be a superfluous move.
He decided to strengthen the wolf group on him.
Little Hu Immortal sent the divine sense for him and inquired the price of this turtleback myriad wolf king.
The Gu Immortal who put it for sale called himself South Sea Turtle Immortal. He wanted ten thousand stalks of blowpipe grass.
Blowpipe grass was the specialty of northern plains, every grass looked like an erect long pipe. When wind blew, the wind would enter the small holes on the grass and produce pleasant pipe sounds.
Blowpipe grass was a common material used in Gu refinement; at the same time, a large expanse of blowpipe grass would slowly give birth to some sound path and wood path Gu worms.
Fang Yuan did not have any blowpipe grass, and although he knew their location, this season was not the time for them to grow and they were all just seeds buried under the earth.
Fang Yuan knew this situation, but did not give up and made Little Hu Immortal ask: "Ask and see if he accepts immortal essence stones."
Little Hu Immortal conveyed with her divine sense and after communicating for a moment, she reported: "Master, he says he can sell twenty thousand turtleback wolves, but he is asking for two immortal essence stones."
Fang Yuan scoffed, this was a very expensive price. Immortal essence stones were very precious, turtleback wolves were no more than ordinary wild beasts but transactions required the process of bargaining.
After some haggling, Fang Yuan used an immortal essence stones to buy thirty thousand turtleback wolves and one turtleback myriad wolf king from South Sea Turtle Immortal.
After the transaction was finished, Fang Yuan bought another eighteen thousand wind wolves and one wind wolf myriad beast king. He replenished twenty thousand night wolves, five thousand poison beard wolves and six thousand water wolves. Altogether, he spent two and a half immortal essence stones.
It was not over yet.
The wolf groups entered Hu Immortal blessed land, bringing a grim ordeal to the original ecology and causing many effects. To say the least, Fang Yuan needed to provide enough food to these wolf groups, otherwise these wolves would starve to death because of insufficient food.
Hu Immortal blessed land also had many wild beasts like rabbits, pheasants and so on. But these animals were the food sources of fox groups.
Hu Immortal had cultivated large numbers of foxes in the blessed land; there were red foxes, gold foxes, cloud foxes, wind foxes, autumn water foxes, flowing light foxes and so on.
These fox groups had suffered disastrous damaged in the sixth earthly calamity, but a number were still preserved. After many years of recuperation, they would also gradually grow into a large scale and recover some of their strength.
If there were insufficient food, the wolf groups and fox groups were bound to hunt each other and create and extremely severe internal friction; the losses would be more than profits.
Fang Yuan bought food for these fox groups and wolf groups.
"Golden koi, blue jade carp, fat mudfish, which would be good… Eh? There are actually fish roes of air bubble fish!"
Just as Fang Yuan was about to choose one, he accidentally discovered a Gu Immortal was selling fish roes of air bubble fish.
He immediately decided to buy it.
However, air bubble fish's fish roes had attracted some Gu Immortals' attention, causing there to be a price competition.
Fang Yuan made prompt decision and raised the price to one immortal essence stone.
"There are just over twenty thousand fish roes, someone is actually paying one immortal essence stone!"
"This person is mad, even if they are bred, there would only be around three thousand air bubble fish. Although they are precious but they are only worth less than one immortal essence stone."
Gu Immortals transmitted divine sense containing their ridicule and contempt.
Air bubble fish were difficult to incubate, with only around thirty percent chance of survival rate. To them, the price Fang Yuan was paying was too high.
"If my memory is not wrong, two Gu Immortals would fight over the air bubble sea at the end of this year, the intense poison would invade into the whole air bubble sea and turn it into a death zone. At that time, air bubble fish's price would sharply rise to over ten folds." Fang Yuan sneered after obtaining these fish roes.
Those able to become Gu Immortals were no doubt giants among men and great geniuses. Excluding some ignorant and incompetent second generation immortals, most of the Gu Immortals were those with great experiences and wisdom; if Fang Yuan had not started out with such a high price, it would be extremely difficult for him to get these fish roes.
"In future, when the battle of five regions break out, this air bubble fish's price would increase to hundred folds of now!"
Air bubble fish were the specialty of eastern sea, they were quite peculiar with translucent and round belly, like a round and glossy air bubble. Two dark sesame seeds seemed to be sewed in front of the air bubble, they were its eyes. The fins and tail were very small, giving it very weak movement power.
Air bubble fish were different from other fishes, its movement style was to move by rising and falling. When they were in danger, they would often float out of the surface of the water to the air, to hide from their enemies.
Some mature air bubble fish could even keep staying at the air throughout the year without needing to enter the water, eating the tiny insects in the air as their food.
The greatest use of the air bubble fish was to increase the production of Gu worms.
The worms air bubble fish devoured would be protected and nourished in its belly, gradually evolving into a Gu, then they would pierce out of the belly and fly away.
Because it could increase the rate of Gu worms creation, air bubble fish became a product sought out by all Gu Immortals during the battle of the five regions.
"These air bubble fish needs to be slowly raised, although they only have thirty percent survival rate, they just need to be carefully tended to. Dozens of years later, they would reach a scale where they can be self-sufficient. Hundred years later,they would reach at least fifty thousand in numbers. And same as starlight firefly Gu, it will be a highly demanded good in the battle of five regions."
The fish roes of air bubble fish were an unexpected harvest, and could be considered a small pleasant surprise.
"With air bubble fish, I can't choose fat mudfish. Although fat mudfish are the easiest to raise, but they will eat the fish roes of air bubble fish, they can even eat mud to fill their stomach when they are hungry."
"Comparatively speaking, between gold koi and blue jade carps; one eats gold as food and another eats gemstones. Both have no interest towards the fish roes of air bubble fish."
Fang Yuan did not lack gold and gemstones because there was a large group of rockmen in Hu Immortal blessed land.
These rockmen lived underground and ate soil as their food. After a long time, all kinds of gold, gemstones and so on would form on their body.
"However gold has a harmful influence on the reproduction of air bubble fish and can decrease the reproduction rate. The mild gemstones, however, have no such disadvantages, so I shall choose blue jade carps."
Fang Yuan pondered and finally decided upon the fish species.
In his previous life of five hundred years, he had also managed a blessed land. And because of many setbacks he had experienced then, he could now make the most sensible choices.
After obtaining blue jade carps, the water wolves' food problem was solved. Fang Yuan then bought a large numbers of pink rabbit and iron-shell flowers as food for night wolves, wind wolves and turtleback wolves.
And because of poison beard wolves, Fang Yuan also chose some earth skin pigs. These pigs had a high reproduction rate and could eat both meat and grass; they were also put in the eastern part of the blessed land.
Finally, Fang Yuan bought many Gu worms and large numbers of Gu refinement materials. He spent altogether eight immortal essence stones and hundreds of thousands of primeval stones.
"At once, eight immortal essence stones have been spent." Fang Yuan would not feel any heartache at common primeval stones, but he still cared about immortal essence stones.
Previously, he had sold many remnant recipes and obtained twenty-eight immortal essence stones, now only twenty remained.
"I can still sell the remnant recipes with me, but the more they are sold, the cheaper they will get. I lack means for getting profits, as for the investment in air bubble fish and starlight firefly Gu, they would only show results after a hundred years. I need to use these remaining immortal essence stones carefully."
Fang Yuan heaved a sigh. He handed connecting heaven Gu to little Hu Immortal and let her be in charge of dealing with the residence and various other works regarding wolf groups, fish groups, iron-shell flowers and air bubble fish roes.
Fang Yuan entered Dang Hun palace and used the materials he bought to refine Gu.

Chapter 477: Rank Five Breath Concealment Gu
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
After one day and one night, Fang Yuan walked out of Dang Hun palace with an exhausted expression.
He came to Dang Hun mountain, many guts Gu had been created again during this period of time. But the quantity was half of the first time.
Fang Yuan pinched some of them, most were of no use because of Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's powers.
But Fang Yuan had slaughtered Yan tribe, after collecting many souls, there were lot of guts Gu. Relying on this enormous number, Fang Yuan's soul managed to advance by a lot.
"My current soul strength is over five times stronger than before. Unfortunately, there is still a large gap to thousand man soul." Fang Yuan closed his eyes for a while before opening them again with a slightly happy expression.
This progress was quite big. If it were normal Gu Masters, they would require ten years or more to accumulate such results.
But because of guts Gu's help, Fang Yuan could easily accomplish this feat in less than half a day.
"No wonder Dang Hun mountain was called one of the sacred lands of soul path by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. Among the things in my possession, Dang Hun mountain's value is only lower to Spring Autumn Cicada. No matter what, I can't let it die!"
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had once commented that soul path Gu Masters had two great sacred lands in this world. One was Dang Hun mountain to strengthen the soul; another was Luo Po valley to refine soul.
Soul needed to be strengthened and also required to be refined.
Fang Yuan used guts Gu to rapidly strengthen his soul. But he did not have Luo Po valley to refine his soul, thus he could only use wolf soul Gu instead.
Wolf soul Gu could transform a Gu Master's soul into wolfman soul, having the effect of refining soul.
Guts Gu's production continued to drop; by the third time, Fang Yuan only used one hour to pluck them all. Most of the guts Gu had become mud paste, and relying on the small portion of intact guts Gu, Fang Yuan strengthened his soul to six times.
Little Hu Immortal was busy with her work.
The stargate Gu was once again activated and Fang Yuan returned to northern plains.
The moment he stepped out of the stargate, Fang Yuan's first sight was the loyal guarding wolf group that surrounded the area.
The stargate was connected to Hu Immortal blessed land; Fang Yuan sent poison beard wolves and water wolves to the blessed land while bringing wind wolf myriad wolf king and turtleback myriad wolf king to northern plains. At the same time, he replenished the three wolf groups, raising the scale of the wolf group to sixty thousand!
Fang Yuan did not immediately return to Ge tribe, instead he picked up a half-finished product and began to refine Gu.
After spending a long while, when the first rays of sunlight shone on crescent lake, he obtained rank five breath concealment Gu.
The heaven and earth of the five regions were different, whether it were Gu worms or Gu Masters, once they went into other regions, they would be suppressed.
But different from Gu worms, human is the spirit of all living beings and had great intelligence and adaptability. As long as a few years went by, Gu Masters could completely adapt to the environment and obtain the recognition of the region, no longer facing suppression.
And for the Gu worms to not be suppressed, Fang Yuan refined the Gu at northern plains. No matter where the materials were from or whatever Gu worms were used, the moment the Gu refinement was completed, the new rank five breath concealment Gu was born in northern plains and obtained northern plains' recognition, not suffering from the suppression.
Back then, Fang Yuan had obtained rank two breath concealment Gu in Zi You mountain. By refining and ranking up this Gu worm, the rank five breath concealment Gu was finally formed.
At rank five, breath concealment Gu did not have any huge changes, was still like a purple exquisite tree leaf, it was just that the purple was deeper in color and even had a slight metallic luster.
After using the breath concealment Gu to hide his cultivation back to rank four middle stage, Fang Yuan let out a breath of turbid air.
He was now at rank five peak stage, and even after suffering the suppression in northern plains, he still had rank five initial stage aura.
If he returned to Ge tribe like this, it was sure to attract suspicion. At the same time, if one day, a portion of the suppression lifts and his cultivation suddenly rose, it would result in conjectures and doubts. Breath concealment Gu could prevent such an accident.
Fang Yuan returned to Ge tribe with the wolf group. As expected, the Ge tribesmen were shocked and pleasantly surprised.
But there were many wolf groups in northern plains, crescent lake was also a place filled with spirituality and many beast groups gathered around it; It was not difficult to explain how Fang Yuan gained such a bountiful harvest.
Fang Yuan placed a part of the wolf group inside the camp and another group outside, letting them move about.
When he returned to the giant lizard house Gu, Ge tribe leader Ge Guang immediately came over to pay respects, bringing two letters with him.
"Congratulations to lord for gaining a huge increase in strength after this hunt!" Ge Guang had two dark circles under his eyes, his face however had a joyous expression.
Throughout this day and night, he had been cleaning up the battlefield with Ge tribe elders, gathering the goods and dealing with those who surrendered, he was so busy that he had no time to sleep. Looking at Ge tribe's strength expand in his hands, Ge Guang was very excited, causing his respect towards Chang Shan Yin to deepen by another layer.
He understood clearly that without Chang Shan Yin, this day would not have come for Ge tribe.
"My luck was quite good and I had some gains." Fang Yuan sat on the seat and lightly nodded at Ge Guang.
His strength increase did not end with the wolf groups. His cultivation and soul also had huge advancement, Ge Guang and the rest would be terrified if they knew.
At Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan had used up one chance to refine Immortal Gu, and obtained stargate Gu, thus causing his inactive chessboard to become alive again. Fang Yuan's strength progressed at an unimaginable speed every time he entered Hu Immortal blessed land.
Everyone would find it hard to believe such rapid progress. However, it was also very reasonable when one carefully looked.
Fang Yuan possessed a blessed land, he was growing using the foundation of a Gu Immortal. The difference between immortals and mortals were as different as night and day; adding in his five hundred years of experience that allowed him to absorb the rapid increase in strength, he could grow smoothly without facing any issues.
Fang Yuan had been risking his life, like walking on a tightrope in between cliffs to obtain these enormous wealth that changed into deep accumulation. Finally, the accumulation was changing into explosive growth in strength.
"Lord, by devouring Yan tribe we have obtained a total of over six hundred and thirty four thousand primeval stones, one rank five Gu, twenty-seven rank four Gu and many rank three, rank two and rank one Gu. Besides them, there are over two thousand Gu refinement recipes, three hundred hump wolves and many big stomach horses. Lizard house Gu numbers to thousands, hundreds of mush room Gu, and the number of captives are over seven thousand…" Ge Guang excitedly reported.
Fang Yuan quietly listened; because he had taken down Yan tribe's higher-ups in one move and also due to the surprise attack, Ge tribe was able to receive huge benefits.
Especially the amount of captives, it was unexpectedly over seven thousand. Among them were large numbers of rank two and rank one Gu Masters who wanted to surrender; after Ge tribe incorporated them, the tribe's strength had increased by over two-fold.
"Lord, this is the inventory list after calculating, please take a look. You can take anything you want." Ge Guang respectfully handed Fang Yuan a list.
To Fang Yuan, these resources were instead not essential.
He had Hu Immortal blessed land now, the appeal of primeval stones to him had fallen down to the abyss. The days where he had to scheme for one or two primeval stones on Qing Mao mountain had already left him.
He lacked immortal essence stones, the more he had the better. Unfortunately, Yan tribe did not have a Gu Immortal, so how could they have immortal essence stones?
The reason why Fang Yuan assisted Ge tribe was to have a chess piece, to act as a shield for him so that he could meddle in the heroes assembly.
If possible, he did not want to give up the identity of Chang Shan Yin prematurely. The longer he managed the tribe, the more use it would have for him in the battle of five regions.
"According to the rules of the grassland, the half of these spoils are all mine. But these things are not suited for me, so I shall leave them with Ge tribe." Fang Yuan gave back the list to Ge Guang.
"Yes, lord." Ge Guang promptly replied.
"My wolf groups will be fed by your tribe. Account for the expenses using my share of the spoils." Fang Yuan added.
Ge Guang, however, shook his head and said with sincerity: "Lord, the reason our Ge tribe can have this day is all because of you. How could I, Ge Guang, be a person who doesn't know favors? Feeding the wolf groups is our Ge tribe's responsibility, there is no need for lord to spend your wealth. I understand deeply that my abilities are not enough to manage the whole Ge tribe. I hope senior can guide and give me pointers in the coming days."
"Hehehe." Fang Yuan laughed and took a deep glance at Ge Guang. This young man before him could be considered to have some experience now.
Although he had only held the tribe leader position for a short time, he had experienced trials and wandered in between life and death, he took risks, and thus progressed rapidly.
As the saying goes: Heroes emerge in troubled times.
This Gu Master world had a cruel environment and it was not easy to live. And precisely so, heroes emerged in large numbers and endlessly.
"Ge Guang, you are pretty good. In that case, I shall become Ge tribe's external elder."
Ge Guang's whole body shook before wild joy emerged in his face.
He promptly kneeled on the ground: "Junior is presumptuous and sincerely request senior to become the supreme elder of Ge tribe!"
"Supreme elder?" Fang Yuan muttered.
Ge Guang raised his head and looked at Fang Yuan sincerely. He knew Ge tribe's current great situation was closely related to Chang Shan Yin, that is the only way they can move stably and far, while obtaining the most benefits.
If Chang Shan Yin was not around, just relying on his rank three cultivation would not be enough to suppress the expanding Ge tribe.
"Alright, I shall accept it." Fang Yuan agreed.
By this point, Ge tribe's circumstances was also part of his plan. Ge Guang was only a rank three Gu Master and had just taken the tribe leader position, Fang Yuan made Ge tribe take over Yan tribe, it allowed him to have greater control of this person.
By controlling this person , he controlled Ge tribe!
"What? Yan tribe was exterminated by Ge tribe!?" At another place beside crescent lake, Wang tribe leader listened to the news and looked at Bei tribe's envoy with shock.
Bei tribe's envoy was an old rank three Gu Master, his face filled with wrinkles, grey hair, sunken and dark eyes. He was an enslavement path expert with some reputation in northern plains, named Bei Cao Sheng.
"That is precisely so. Many tribes already know of this, not long later, the news will spread to the whole northern plains. Your tribe is in a remote location and has many large beast groups in the surroundings, thus you were not able to get this news immediately."
Bei Cao Sheng continued: "I have come here to represent the alliance of Bei, Zheng and Pei tribe to request Wang tribe to join the alliance and punish Ge tribe together!"

Chapter 478: Main Pillar
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Eh?" Hearing Bei tribe, Zheng tribe and Pei tribe had already allied, Wang tribe leader slightly furrowed his brows.
In northern plains, it was not strange for tribes to form an alliance. The struggle for the Imperial Court was arriving soon, the appearance of alliances also increased.
"I have a doubt. Ge tribe was originally weaker than Yan tribe, how could such a small existence swallow a bigger force?" Wang tribe leader questioned.
Bei Cao Sheng laughed: "Ge tribe could absorb Yan tribe all because of one person. I wonder if Lord Wang tribe leader has ever heard of Chang Shan Yin?"
"Chang Shan Yin?" Wang tribe leader slightly frowned, this name brought a familiar feeling in the depths of his heart as if he had heard it somewhere.
Soon after, his furrowed brows relaxed and an astonished look appeared on his face: "Chang Shan Yin… could it be the Wolf King who had killed Ha Tu Gu?"
"Hehe. I am in admiration of tribe leader's knowledge." Bei Cao Sheng cupped his fists, "Yes, it is because of this person's meddling that led to Ge tribe's victory. Who would have expected that the hero of northern plains would still alive after all this time? No one knows what happened in all these years. He appeared with low profile and with his lone strength, made Ge tribe, a small existence, swallow the big Yan tribe. Of course, this is also because Yan tribe's higher-ups were schemed against by Chang Shan Yin and were taken down collectively. This allowed Ge tribe to have dominance when they attacked Yan tribe camp."
Bei Cao Sheng spoke with assurance, he was actually very clear of this inside story.
In truth, after Yan tribe was exterminated, there were naturally some who were able to escape alive and went to Bei tribe to request protection. With such informants, Bei tribe was naturally very clear of the situation.
Wang tribe leader's brows furrowed deeper: "back in those days, Wolf King with his lone strength could bypass realms and kill rank five Gu Master Ha Tu Gu along with his bandit group. Such strength truly intimidates people. How can we deal with such expert with our strength?"
Rank four Gu Masters were already the leaders of small-mid scale tribes. Rank five Gu Masters were at the peak of the mortal world.
Long ago, the news of Chang Shan Yin killing Ha Tu Gu had created an uproar in the whole northern plains.
Reputation, whether good or bad, follows closely like a shadow; Chang Shan Yin's deeds had spread throughout northern plains for so many years, it was natural for Wang tribe leader to have some apprehension.
Bei Cao Sheng laughed loudly: "Hahaha, it is natural for lord tribe leader to have worries. Wolf King was indeed an amazing character. But times have changed, today's Wolf King is no longer as valiant as before."
"Eh? I would like to hear the details."
"Everyone knows the strength of enslavement path Gu Masters is determined by their troops. Wolf King has just come back, his wolf group is no longer of the same scale as before, with not even a single mutated beast. There are only ordinary wind wolves, night wolves and turtleback wolves with him. And in the battle with Yan tribe, they already suffered huge losses. His battle strength is not so mighty."
Bei Cao Sheng continued: "Moreover, Wolf King attacked Yan tribe without rhyme or reason, this is the conduct of the demonic path, slaughtering ordinary mortals goes against northern plains' rules. He is no longer the hero of our northern plains, but a demon everyone needs to hunt. The one we are punishing this time is a sinner who creates conflicts, an evildoer who invades at will! We have righteousness with us while Ge tribe is at the side of injustice and evil. The heroes assembly has not begun yet, the struggle for Imperial Court has not started yet, but they dared to openly wage a war with another tribe, this is unforgivable. Looking at the history of northern plains, which of the people that violated the bottom line like this has ever had a good ending?"
Bei Cao Sheng's words were full of passion, indeed as the political advisor of Bei tribe, his words had the power to incite people's hearts.
But Wang tribe leader also was a seasoned character and not someone who could be easily influenced. His gaze flashed and said with hesitation: "Although it is so, Wolf King is after all the Wolf King. In the battle between giants, there will definitely be injuries. After the battle ends, there is bound to be enormous losses."
Bei Cao Sheng shook his head and smiled without concern: "Hehehe. Wolf King might be strong, but two fists cannot defeat four hands. Ge tribe has just absorbed Yan tribe, they have eaten too much this time and inflated very quickly, they will not be stable for a long time. As long as Wang tribe joins us, why would our four tribes' alliance be afraid of a puny Ge tribe?"
Wang tribe leader muttered irresolutely for a while and said: "I am not afraid of Ge tribe, but Wolf King is the Wolf King. He mysteriously disappeared for so many years, who knows what happened, he might have even had fortuitous encounter. He definitely has some plan in making his appearance now. Such a character is sure to have trump cards that he has not shown yet."
Bei Cao Sheng scoffed: "Reputation usually comes from exaggeration. Wang tribe leader, why should we puff up the enemy and lower our morale? Why are you so afraid of the Wolf King? He is already past his prime, even if he has trump cards, he is no more than an enslavement path Gu Master in the end. Since he is an enslavement path Gu Master, we have ways to deal with him."
"Truthfully speaking, our Bei tribe also has enslavement path Gu Masters, our tribe's forest soldier corps which has made its name in northern plains; it can completely face Chang Shan Yin. Besides them, Zheng tribe has the renowned lightning spear battle formation while Pei tribe leader Lord Pei Yan Fei is a famous expert in northern plains and has already advanced to rank four peak stage. Even if Wolf King has much more troops, Lord Pei Yan Fei can move past the troops and directly attack and kill the Wolf King!"
It was common knowledge that enslavement path Gu Masters feared beheading the leader tactics.
As long as this tactic succeeded, even a huge army of millions would immediately fall into chaos and flee in disorder.
Wang tribe leader, however, was still hesitating, and evaded it saying he needed a few days to consider as it was a serious matter.
Disappointment flashed past Bei Cao Sheng's eyes: "This is a serious matter, it makes sense for Wang tribe leader to consider it carefully. However, this matter cannot be delayed, if we allow the Ge tribe to recover their senses and digest the spoils of the war, our losses when we fight will be much more larger. Please take note of this, lord tribe leader."
Wang tribe leader nodded: "At most three days, during this period, you can stay in our tribe and receive our warmest welcome."
Bei Cao Sheng could only take the initiative to say his farewell after hearing these words.
When he had just left the hall, a person entered.
This person was thin with a yellowish face, there were three strands of beard on his chin and a pair of sharp and bright eyes. He was Wang tribe leader's competent assistant; Wang tribe elder Wang De Dao, an experienced strategist.
"Lord tribe leader, are we really going to agree to Bei tribe and join this alliance?" Wang De Dao asked with some worries.
"Hehehe, of course not, you don't need to worry." Wang tribe leader laughed.
Wang De Dao let out a breath of relief: "Tribe leader is wise to not be bewitched by others. The power struggle for Imperial Court is arriving, and years of battle will follow it. Preserving strength is our main priority. The thoughts of Bei, Pei and Zheng tribe, these three mid scale tribes, are very clear. Yan tribe is in-laws of Liu tribe, Yan Cui Er is Liu tribe young master's fiancee. They are thinking of becoming dogs of Liu tribe, to curry favor with Lord Liu Wen Wu, but they want to involve my tribe to share the risks."
"Yes." Wang tribe leader nodded, "Our Wang tribe is a large scale tribe, we need to make our moves very carefully. The struggle for the Imperial Court is like a battle of dragons and snakes; in the end, who can become the final winner? We need to observe carefully and choose the side we are siding with."
Every ten years in northern plains, there would be a terrifying and shocking blizzard.
Only by entering the Imperial Court, could one have protection to not be affected by the blizzard.
But the quota in Imperial Court was limited; there were too many that wanted to enter, thus they would go through bitter battle, and after eliminating the weak, the master of the Imperial Court would be decided.
Wang tribe might be a large scale tribe but was classified as those tribes with superficial foundation, having no intents to vie for the throne. They only wanted to side with the correct force and become the one with the greatest contribution, thus entering the Imperial Court and avoiding the disaster.
"If we can't enter the Imperial Court, our tribe will definitely suffer disastrous damage during the blizzard. We will fall from our current large scale force to mid scale, small scale or even complete extermination with a high probability. But if we can enter Imperial Court, through the support of the resources of Imperial Court, we can recuperate and if our luck is good, we can have the qualifications to vie for the next rulership of Imperial Court!" Wang De Dao said with a grave expression.
This matter concerned the survival and prosperity of the whole Wang tribe; every Wang tribesman was cautious and careful.
"Then, how should we deal with Bei Cao Sheng?" Wang tribe leader asked.
Wang De Dao stroked his beard and said after a while: "We should properly entertain this person, and three days later, we can tactfully decline their alliance invitation. At the same time, we will send a letter to Ge tribe behind their back, to express our goodwill to the Wolf King and tell them of this matter. Let them fight each other while we will watch safely from the sideline. If there is an opportunity, we can have no worries in benefiting from their conflict."
"Hahaha, your words deeply resonates with my heart." Wang tribe leader could not help laughing heartily.
Gazing at the letter in his hand, Ge tribe leader Ge Guang had a worried expression.
All the Ge tribe elders beside him were also silent.
The atmosphere had become so heavy in the main tent that it was almost suffocating.
"Bei, Pei and Zheng tribe have allied to combine their strength and pass judgement to our tribe. They are wantonly attracting more allies now. Wang tribe leader has sent this information secretly, I am afraid not long later, the allied army would make their move. Elders, do you have any good plans?" Ge Guang asked.
"This matter is not looking good. Our tribe has just absorbed Yan tribe, although our morale is high, we have yet to digest the spoils of the war."
"If the enemy invades us, it is hard to say if the Yan tribe captives we have won't rise up in rebellion."
"At that time, with both external and internal threats, our Ge tribe won't be far from extermination!"
"Then should we retreat?"
"Retreat? Where? We have a camp now and can defend our positions. But if we retreat, there will be nothing to protect us, do we just wait for those tribes to surround us then?"
The elders started discussing.
Ge Guang looked at them with a disappointed gaze, the elders were just making random comments with no one giving reasonable suggestion.
This instead caused the atmosphere in the tent to become more repressing and was vaguely shaking up their battle will.
"Alright, no need to say anymore." He raised his hand and put an end to the discussion.
"I won't hide this from you, few days ago, Lord Wolf King Chang Shan Yin has agreed to become our tribe's supreme elder. We need to invite him to discuss this matter." Ge Guang revealed the news.
He had kept this news hidden, now that he said it out, it was like a cardiac stimulant that caused the elders to feel a rush of morale.
"Lord Wolf King has become our tribe's supreme elder?"
"Great, great, this is a cause for celebration!"
"With Lord Wolf King with us, we have a chance of survival."
The suppressing atmosphere in the tent was immediately swept clean and the fallen morale rapidly soared. This was the effect of an expert; in times of crisis, they were the main pillar that could hold up the sky and earth.
Seeing this, Ge Guang realized why only Gu Masters with high cultivation could become the ones in power in tribes.

Chapter 479: Good weather to kill

Fang Yuan was invited into Ge tribe's main tent.
"Oh, three tribes are allying to deal with us?" Fang Yuan heard this and his eyes shone, asking: "Which three?"
An elder immediately replied: "Reporting to lord supreme elder, it is Pei tribe, Bei tribe, and Zheng tribe."
Pausing for a second, this elder continued: "Pei tribe's Pei Yan Fei has rank four peak stage cultivation, he is a fierce general famous in northern plains. Although Bei tribe is only a middle-sized tribe, it has two enslavement path Gu Masters. As for Zheng tribe, although they were created not too long ago, their lightning spear battle formation is nothing to be trifled with."
Fang Yuan nodded, he had heard a familiar name, that was Pei Yan Fei.
This person was truly a fierce general in northern plains, after joining Liu Wen Wu, he became Liu tribe's third general.
In the future battles, he often fought his way into enemy formations alone, assaulting and disrupting their battle formations, as he charged through unstoppably, he aimed for the leader's head.
As for Bei tribe and Zheng tribe, although Fang Yuan had no memories of them, it did not obstruct him from estimating their strength.
Either of these two tribes were equal to Ge tribe back in Hong Yan valley.
Bei tribe had two enslavement path Gu Masters, this meant that they could resist Fang Yuan's wolf group head on. As for Zheng tribe, it seemed that they grew to power using the lightning spear battle formation, this was Zheng tribe's trump card, it could not be underestimated.
"However, I need large numbers of souls to feed Dang Hun mountain and strengthen my own soul. The alliance of the three tribes will allow me to kill many people right? Hehehe."
Thinking so, Fang Yuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Right now, the three tribes have allied, the situation is precarious, uncle Chang Shan Yin, what should Ge tribe do?" Ge Guang was yearning for an answer.
Fang Yuan raised his brows, his words oozing with killing intent: "What can we do? Since they want to kill us anyway, we will strike first and attack them immediately! You have to know, the best defense is offense!"
"What? Attack?!"
Hearing this, Ge tribe higher-ups were shocked.
In their earlier discussions, some people suggested retreating, some suggested defending, but no one had suggested attacking.
This idea was too aggressive and risky. After all, the power of the three allied tribes greatly surpassed Ge tribe. Now that Ge tribe had just assimilated Yan tribe's captives, they had internal woes as well.
"Is it too crazy to just attack them now?" The elders looked at each other, sensing each others worry from their expressions. But because of Fang Yuan's attitude, they did not dare to speak out.
At once, everyone went silent.
Ge Guang hesitated for a while, before meekly saying: "Uncle Chang Shan Yin, the enemy is strong while we are weak, but we are going to strike first and give up on defending the camp?"
Fang Yuan snorted: "If you are thinking like this, so are our enemies. Precisely so, we have to initiate the attack and catch them off guard."
"Tonight, we shall gather our forces and assault them in the dark! Which tribe is the closest to us?"
"The closest is Bei Tribe, following by Zheng tribe and then Pei tribe who are the furthest." Ge Guang replied.
Fang Yuan smiled coldly: "Very good, then we shall wipe out Bei tribe first, before slaughtering Zheng tribe and then find a chance to finish off Pei tribe. This battle will be tragic, be mentally prepared. But we cannot make progress without sacrifices, after we devour the three tribes, our Ge tribe will strengthen even further."
The tribe elders looked at each other, tongue-tied, shocked by Fang Yuan's ambition.
With Ge tribe's current situation, he still wanted to devour the allied enemies who were two to three times stronger than them. This was unimaginable.
Seeing the hesitant gang, Fang Yuan waved his hand: "Then that will be the plan, go and prepare for it."
"Yes." The higher-ups replied.
That night, the night winds blew and the moon was high in the sky.
Ge tribe camp opened its gates as the wolves ran out like a flowing river. Countless Gu Masters were mixed in with them, as they charged forward with strong killing intent.
"What a good weather, this is a perfect weather to kill people." Fang Yuan sat on a mutated beast as he laughed.
This mutated beast was that white-eyes wolf, it was an infant earlier, but after Fang Yuan used the time path Gu worm to accelerate its growth, it rapidly aged. Now, this white-eyes wolf was several times its original size.
Having a body of white snow-like fur, its body shape was slim and smooth like water, only slightly smaller than a hump wolf.
But its current battle strength was only comparable to an ordinary hundred wolf king. There were no wild Gu inside its body.
Time was needed for wild Gu to live in a beast king. During a beast king's long period of growth, multiple wild Gu worms would come to seek refuge with them.
But this white-eyes wolf grew too fast, it lacked the foundation built with time, and because it was always by Fang Yuan's side, there were no Gu on it.
Because of that, Fang Yuan used it as his steed and let it accompany him. Sometimes, using its vision, he could scout areas quickly.
The army moved quickly towards Bei tribe.
Bei tribe camp was situation on a mound, there were originally many trees on the mound, but now they were all removed and a tall wall was erected all around Bei tribe camp.
On the wall, there were observational towers that were giving off a bright light, lighting up the dark camp. On the surface of the wall, there were wooden spikes and several Bei tribe Gu Masters were standing at set intervals, giving off a strong impregnable aura.
"Lord, are we really attacking?" The army stealthily got closer as Ge Guang observed the wall, his heart jumped as he had the urge to retreat.
Fang Yuan laughed: "We will definitely win."
"What does lord supreme elder mean?" An elder did not understand and asked.
Fang Yuan pointed at the wall: "Precise because of the sturdy wall, these Bei tribe Gu Masters are complacent, sending only a few Gu Masters to guard it. The fact that we could get to near to them is proof of this. Furthermore, this light is too bright, it shows Bei tribe's intention to scare off the weak. Such a false bravado, while attempting to show that they were a stronghold, revealed all their little secrets."
Hearing this, Ge tribesmen were assured.
Fang Yuan instructed again: "Later, I will send the wolves to crush the wall, you will send the Yan tribe captives to charge and lead the way, while Ge tribe Gu Masters watch them. If anyone tries to rebel or run away, kill them on the spot!"
His icy cold voice made everyone shudder.
The moment he said that, before waiting for the elders to react, Fang Yuan waved his hand as two myriad wolf kings led their wolf groups and rushed out. In a few breaths' time, they got into the lighted area.
"Wolves, why are there so many wolves?!" Bei tribe Gu Masters rubbed their eyes, finding it unbelievable.
"Enemy assault, enemy assault!!" Some people reacted and shouted loudly, using their Gu worms to send signals.
"Block them, reinforcements are coming!" The Gu Masters shouted with all their strength.
But Fang Yuan's attack was ferocious and overwhelming, it was like two iron fists that had been storing energy for a day.
The battle strength of a myriad wolf king was not to be underestimated, often, a rank four Gu Master and multiple rank three experts were needed to deal with one.
Two myriad wolf kings, under Fang Yuan's manipulation, unleashed their strongest attacks without hesitation.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
Every impact was soul shaking. The study wall swayed in the wind like a flimsy paper.
Especially the turtleback myriad wolf king, it had a thick skin and a strong body, it caused the most damage to the wall.
Bei tribe Gu Masters were busy retaliating, but their scattered attacks were blocked by the myriad wolf king's defensive Gu.
When Bei tribe's reinforcements arrived in a hurry, they saw the collapse of an entire segment of the wall. Two myriad wolf kings led their endless wolf armies as they charged into the camp.
"Night wolf myriad beast king! Turtleback myriad wolf king!" Bei tribe leader saw this sight and he was shocked out of his wits.
These were two types of wolves, as wild wolf groups, they will never work together. This situation only meant one thing, there was someone controlling them.
Who was the culprit?
Bei tribe leader did not need to think twice before a name appeared in his heart — Wolf King Chang Shan Yin!
"Chang Shan Yin…" Bei tribe leader gritted his teeth and fire almost spewed out of his eyes.
But his fury could not stop the attack of the wolf group.
So be it if they were ordinary wolves, but under Fang Yuan's control, strength and knowledge became the best companions.
Bei tribe tried resisting, and formed many defensive formations, but the wolf group charged without worry for casualties, it was an all-out attack.
The Ge tribe Gu Masters behind the wolf group were like spectators.
Rank four — grass puppet Gu!
Bei tribe leader injected his primeval essence into the grass below his feet.
The grass grew to the size of a person, turning into a grass puppet, holding a green leaf long sword.
This was the grass sword elite soldier!
Large numbers of grass sword elite soldiers charged towards the wolf group.
The grass sword elite soldiers successfully resisted the wolf group's attack, they formed a formation near the main tent and blocked the wolves like a green monolith.
But this situation was only temporary, when Bei tribe leader's primeval essence was used up, the grass sword elite soldiers were out of steam and the monolith became smaller, submerged by the wolves.
"Retreat, we will retreat to Zheng tribe! As long we are alive, Bei tribe will have the hopes of returning one day." Bei tribe leader saw that the defeat was set in stone and resolutely decided to retreat.
"Hahaha." Fang Yuan rode the white-eyes wolf as he looked at the escaping Bei tribesmen, laughing loudly.
"Lord, we won!" Ge Guang said excitedly.
"We've only won the first out of three battles. Leave some people behind to clean up the battlefield, we will chase them!" Fang Yuan waved and the tens of thousands of wolves howled and changed directions towards Zheng tribe.
"They are chasing us!" The Bei tribe Gu Masters who were escaping saw such a grand army and were scared till their souls trembled.
"No wait, Chang Shan Yin's next target is Zheng tribe." Someone understood.
"Not only did he take down our tribe, he also wants to take down Zheng tribe?!" Someone furiously screamed.
"Tribe leader, what do we do? My primeval essence is almost used up, soon, they will catch up." Someone shouted frantically.
Bei tribe leader hesitated for a moment, he did not have much primeval essence left, he could only change directions and enter the forest near him.
Fang Yuan led the army and ignored these people, charging straight for Zheng tribe.
"He did not chase us, he went to Zheng tribe after all." Bei tribe's higher-ups breathed roughly, standing in the forest, they watched the stampede of over ten thousand wolves.
Bei tribe leader's expression was solemn, the veins on his fists were about to burst, the hatred in his heart and the flames of fury almost incinerated him, but there was nothing he could do!

Chapter 480: Go die, go die
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Prepare the lightning spears!" Zheng tribe leader shouted furiously as he went to the frontline.
After crushing Bei tribe, Fang Yuan led his army without stopping towards Zheng tribe camp.
A bitter battle erupted instantly.
Fang Yuan commanded two myriad beast kings to attack together, breaking through Zheng tribe's two defensive lines in moments. However, at the third line, they were finally stopped.
The ones who stopped the wolf tide was Zheng tribe's renowned trump card — the lightning spear corps.
These rank two Gu Masters stood in a row on the walls, emitting strong elite aura; forging a wall made of flesh and blood.
Hearing the tribe leader's shout, these Gu Masters immediately pushed forward their right hand and poured their primeval essence into the lightning imprint on their right palm.
This was the imprint of the lightning spear Gu.
Next, Ge tribesmen saw lightning emitting out of these Gu Masters' palms before forming into silverish blue colored spears.
These spears were four feet long and were completely condensed from lightning; lightning flickered and emitted a soft sizzling sound.
"Shoot!" Zheng tribe leader shouted.
Whoosh!
In an instant, five hundred and eighty lightning spears flew together and drew a dense arc in the sky.
The shining lightning illuminated the battlefield for a moment. The blue light shone on everyone's faces.
The difference was Ge Guang and his group had ashen expressions, while Zheng tribe leader had a proud smile.
Lightning spears rained down upon the charging wolf group.
Even though turtleback wolves had strong shells, they were still pierced by the lightning spears. Let alone the wind wolves and night wolves who were weak in defense.
The volley of lightning spears showed an extraordinary might, instantly clearing up a large area of the battlefield.
The densely packed wolf group also became thinner.
Over five hundred wolves fell, dead. The offense of the wolf group had slowed down.
"Hahaha, look, this is our tribe's lightning spear corps!"
"With such strong troops, who dares to look down on our tribe?"
"This is the strongest blood and flesh wall of our tribe, what could happen to us even if there were more wolves?"
Zheng tribe's Gu Masters shouted in excitement at this sight, their morale increasing rapidly. In contrast, Ge tribesmen had grave expressions.
"Chang Shan Yin." Zheng tribe leader used sound amplification Gu to amplify his voice, suppressing all the chaotic noises of the battlefield.
"You invaded my tribe without rhyme or reason, the heroes assembly has not started yet but you are recklessly starting a war with no care for law and order. Your brutal massacre will be punished by all the tribes of northern plains. You have not made a great mistake yet, you still have a chance at redemption, retreat quickly! Otherwise, I shall let the world know of your evil nature, you and the Ge tribe behind you shall be called rats by all northern plainsmen!" Zheng tribe leader berated and warned.
"Lord supreme elder…" Ge tribe's elders looked towards Fang Yuan with hesitation on their faces.
Fang Yuan's mad war campaign was indeed violating the rules. Although the three tribes allied to deal with Ge tribe, they had yet to act. Just relying on the evidence gathered by Ge tribe, they could not prove anything.
Northern plains Gu Masters liked to battle but they did not battle recklessly and everything was based on proper reasons.
The more sensible and grand the reasons were, the better it was.
Moreover, the struggle for the Imperial Court had not begun yet, so the tribes were mutually restraining each other. Back when Ge tribe was at Hong Yan valley, Man tribe clearly had more strength than Ge tribe, but they still did not make a direct move. Instead, they used schemes to create a wolf tide. This was because Man tribe did not have a proper reason to swallow Ge tribe.
This was the rule of the righteous path, the game rule between the tribes of northern plains.
Fang Yuan leading Ge tribe to invade the three tribes alliance was clearly breaking this rule. They were attacking without appropriate reasons which meant their actions lacked righteousness.
Ge tribe's invasive conduct which reeked of demonic nature would cause them to be isolated; other tribes might be vigilant towards them or even attack them.
Thus, Ge tribe's higher-ups were worried. But because of Chang Shan Yin's strength and prestige, they did not openly oppose him.
Right now, the wolf group's offense was obstructed and the Ge tribesmen were starting to show the first signs of worries.
Fang Yuan sat indifferently on the mutated beast white-eyes wolf, gazing at those Gu Masters on the wall.
"The lightning spear corps are indeed extraordinary."
His gaze continued to flash as he saw the ingenuity behind this
In the entire lightning spear corps, there were over five hundred offensive Gu Masters, but the truly important characters were the hundred or so support Gu Masters who were hiding in the corner and were strictly defended.
These Gu Masters used their Gu worms to strengthen the power of the lightning spears or condense the force of the lightning spears into an even stronger attack.
Fang Yuan then looked at the night wolf myriad beast king as well as turtleback myriad wolf king.
These two wolf kings were obstructed by Zheng tribe leader personally along with the lightning spear corps' combined strength, so they had no choice but to retreat.
Their bodies were riddled with wounds. Turtleback myriad wolf king was slightly better, but the night wolf myriad beast king's defense Gu was killed, its entire body was covered with blood and some wounds were so deep, one could even see the bone.
Even though Fang Yuan used wolf smoke Gu to heal most of these wounds, the night wolf myriad beast king's strength had dropped by a level.
Retreat?
Does retreating mean that the others won't pursue?
Fang Yuan sneered, retreating was the fastest way to die.
Only by advancing without stopping, charging forward, defeating the three tribe alliance, annihilating the survivors, could the bad influence of breaking northern plains rules be reduced to the minimum.
Right now, Ge tribe was like a drawn bow, there was no other option but to press on.
Ge tribe's higher-ups were short-sighted, so they could not see the situation clearly. But Fang Yuan, with his five hundred years of experience, naturally was a seasoned veteran and could clearly see the situation.
"Everyone, we are at the most crucial moment now. Ge tribesmen, charge forward, fight to the death, whoever dares to retreat a step shall be killed without question!" Fang Yuan shouted coldly while actively mobilizing all the remaining forces with him.
Howl!
Wind wolf myriad beast king lead the wind wolf group and rushed to the battlefield. Fang Yuan had been intentionally hiding this myriad wolf king outside. He had not brought it to Ge tribe camp and did not use it even when attacking Bei tribe.
"The third myriad wolf king!" Ge tribe and Zheng tribe's Gu Masters changed expression at the sight of this wind wolf king.
Ge tribe's higher-ups revealed joy, while Zheng tribe's Gu Masters felt like a heavy stone had landed on their hearts.
Fang Yuan's eyes flashed with cruel killing intent; he waved his hand and the three wolf kings rushed forward together.
Seeing three myriad wolf kings charge together, Zheng tribe leader's expression paled and furiously attacked.
Killer move — Thunder Bird!
The primeval sea level in his aperture violently dropped as three Gu worms were activated together, forming an enormous lightning bird in the air.
The giant bird flew towards the turtleback myriad wolf king and obstructed it.
"Lightning spear corps, shoot together!" Zheng tribe leader hastily shouted.
Hundreds of lightning spears were shot to the sky. Support Gu Masters acted together, converging the flying lightning spears together. In the blink of an eye, the lightning spears combined to form into a lightning snake.
Eagle claw Gu!
A rank three elder suddenly activated his Gu at the lightning snake. The lightning snake immediately grew out two sharp and steel-like claws.
Rhino horn Gu!
Another Zheng tribe elder activated his Gu; a sharp golden horn grew out of the lightning snake's head.
Silver scales Gu!
Another elder added bright silver colored, firm scale armor on the lightning snake's body.
This completely armed lightning spear made a circle in the air, looking like a divine dragon descending into the world. Next, it charged down valiantly towards the wind wolf myriad beast king.
"This move again." Fang Yuan's eyes twitched; previously, the night wolf myriad beast king had been obstructed by this killer move and suffered serious injuries.
This was the killer move — Gold and Silver Lightning Dragon!
Gu Masters nurtured, used and refined Gu; each aspect was a deep field of study. There was the killer move in the aspect of using Gu.
Some Gu Master experts would exquisitely activate many Gu worms' abilities consecutively in a very short period and fuse them into an even stronger attack. This was a killer move.
Normal killer moves were activated by one Gu Master. Like Zheng tribe leader's killer move thunder bird.
The gold and silver lightning dragon, however, was a killer move formed from the cooperation of hundreds of Gu Masters. It condensed the strength of hundreds of Gu Masters as well as rank three experts into an extremely terrifying attack.
As it was obstructed by gold and silver lightning dragon, the wind wolf myriad beast king had no hopes of advancing further temporarily.
However, Fang Yuan was not discouraged.
He still had a myriad wolf king!
Night wolf myriad beast king began a crazed assault under his control.
"Block it, block it!"
"Hold it back even if you die."
"Tribesmen, our parents, wives, children, brothers and sisters are behind us, we absolutely cannot lose!"
"This myriad beast king no longer has its defense Gu, we still have hope!!"
Zheng tribe's Gu Masters raised their morale and attacked fiercely.
Countless attacks shone brilliantly like fireworks as they landed on the night wolf myriad beast king's body.
This night wolf myriad beast king's defense Gu had already died. The attacks easily caused its flesh to lacerate, causing it to howl bitterly in pain.
The intense pain agitated the night wolf myriad beast king; its eyes reddened, its killing intent burst out and its offense became fiercer.
"Damn it!" Seeing the night wolf myriad beast king kill the lightning spear corps, destroying Zheng tribe's most precious trump card, Zheng tribe leader almost spurted out blood in anger.
However, he could not go to stop it, as right now, he was using all his strength to pin down turtleback myriad wolf king.
To protect their home and family, Zheng tribe's Gu Masters burst out with much greater strength.
"Die beast!" A rank three elder dashed out without a thought for his safety and flew towards the night wolf myriad beast king's eyes, fiercely piercing forwarding with his hands.
The night wolf king had no time to dodge and its eyes were pierced.
Amidst the incomparable pain, it opened its mouth and bit this rank three elder apart.
The rank three elder's body was split into two; but he had a smile on his face before dying.
He used his final trace of primeval essence to inflict heavy injuries on the night wolf king.
Such a situation was not rare. To block the night wolf king, many Zheng tribe's Gu Masters chose to sacrifice themselves and protect their home.
"Truly brave warriors!" Fang Yuan praised while laughing coldly.
In his mind, Fang Yuan sensed the night wolf king's intense desire to retreat. But he did not allow that and forcibly made it continue attacking.
Lightning spear corps suffered serious losses in the intense fight with the night wolf king, not even ten percent survived. With there being no decent resistance, Ge tribe's Gu Masters charged out and created an opening rapidly.
The scales of victory tilted towards Fang Yuan.
Time passed, gold and silver lightning dragon dissipated in the air and the wind wolf king became free; under Fang Yuan's control, it started killing Zheng tribe elders.
Next, the wolf group charged inside Zheng tribe camp like a tide, mercilessly killing the old, the weak, women and children.
Wretched screams, despairing shouts and shrieks resounded throughout the battlefield.
"Die, go and die, the more deaths there are, the more souls I can obtain." Fang Yuan looked expressionlessly at this living hell, as he secretly used his storage Gu.

Chapter 481: Bei Cao Chuan
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
In a distant dark corner, close to ten people were gazing at the battlefield; they were the higher-ups of Bei tribe who had escaped.
"Zheng tribe is done for." Bei tribe leader Bei Cao Chuan sighed.
"Who would have thought Chang Shan Yin had a third myriad wolf king!" An elder exclaimed in shock, expressing everyone's inner thoughts.
They had never expected Fang Yuan to be hiding his strength. In the attack against Bei clan, this myriad wolf king had been hidden all along and never made its appearance.
"With three myriad wolf kings, it is normal for Zheng tribe, a mid scale tribe, to be defeated even if they have the lightning spear corps."
"However, Chang Shan Yin is really sinister, he could actually wait so patiently to this degree. Such temperament is terrifying!"
"Hehe, so what? Zheng tribe leader killed night wolf myriad beast king before his death. Now, Chang Shan Yin only has two myriad wolf kings left."
Some of the remnant Bei tribe elders sighed with sorrow while some sneered.
Capturing a myriad beast king was not an easy matter. Fang Yuan's loss appeared to be very disastrous to them.
But in fact, replenishing the myriad wolf king was only a thought away for Fang Yuan who could connect to treasure yellow heaven.
"This Chang Shan Yin is crazy and cruel, he could have made the night wolf myriad beast king retreat temporarily, but he kept on pushing it firmly, leading to its death." An elder said with a chill in his heart.
Bei tribe leader narrowed his eyes, recalling the battlefield that was vivid in his mind: "If he had not pushed this strongly, they might not have been able to settle the battle so quickly. Ge tribe is unable to sustain a battle of attrition when attacking a large group with their small group. Chang Shan Yin's move was very wise."
"It is a pity Zheng tribe leader also died. He was a rank four upper stage expert, if he could have lived…" Bei tribe elders sighed.
The reason for this was also because Zheng tribe leader was overly fond of battles, using all his strength to fight with the enemy. After a long battle, his primeval essence was greatly consumed, but when he wanted to escape, his path was cut off by night wolf myriad beast king and in the end, did not manage to escape.
And Zheng tribe's lightning spear corps were almost completely exterminated with only two to three small-fry remaining.
These two matters were fatal strikes to Zheng tribe's morale.
Their tribe leader sacrificed himself and the corps was exterminated; Zheng tribe lost resistance and was utterly destroyed.
Ge tribesmen charged into the camp and unfolded an unrestrained massacre. Zheng tribe showed no intent to battle and did their best to escape; cries of agony and pleading could be heard endlessly.
There even appeared scenes where a rank one Gu Master chased after two to three rank two Gu Masters.
It was not that these rank two Gu Masters did not want to fight, but their primeval essence had been severely consumed in the battle with the wolf group.
Without primeval essence, a Gu Master's battle strength would fall to the abyss.
The remnant Bei tribesmen fell into silence as they saw Zheng tribe's miserable state.
They could not help thinking back to the scene where their own camp was attacked; everyone of them gnashed their teeth and clenched their fists, their heart filled with fury and also a bleak feeling.
Chaos was descending!
Every ten years in Northern Plains, a disastrous blizzard would appear, causing great unrest where heroes rose and vied for supremacy.
At that time, the unrest would spread to the entire Northern Plains; this situation was no more than a prelude of it.
Human lives would be cheap as grass as tribes wandered around without a home. Small or mid scale tribes would be like duckweed, being involuntarily swept up by the whirlpool of the battle; they could be crushed if they were in the slightest bit careless.
Even large scale tribes had to be extremely cautious and careful. Only those super tribes who had Gu Immortals and possessed blessed lands had the foundation to remain standing for ages.
"Lord tribe leader, our primeval essence is already recovered. Originally, we wanted to rescue Zheng tribe, but they are already defeated now. Why don't we go back and take down the Ge tribesmen at our camp and save our tribesmen!" At this moment, an elder suggested.
"Right, Chang Shan Yin's appetite is too big. He broke through our camp, then went on to destroy Zheng tribe. According to his crazy momentum, he might even be going to Pei tribe. We need to take the opportunity to go back and kill them."
"The people Ge tribe left behind there might be more in number, but they are all rank one and rank two Gu Masters, with only one rank three elder."
The elders could not help being agitated as they looked at their tribe leader.
Although they had fewer numbers, all of them had rank three cultivation while their tribe leader was at rank four realm. With such strength they had a huge chance to go back and save their tribe.
However, the young Bei tribe leader shook his head and resolutely refused: "We cannot! Although Ge tribe left behind very few people and we can go to seize back our camp, but what happens after that? We are too few in numbers, information about our return will definitely leak. After Chang Shan Yin obtains the news and if he returns, would we be able to defend? Can we escape safely with our tribesmen?"
The group of elders went mute.
Bei Cao Chuan was correct.
When they had been defending before, they were at full strength, yet they were still broken by the wolf tide, let alone now.
"Let them become captives. Relax, you saw that after the battle ended, Ge tribe bound the tribesmen and did not kill them. They want to expand their strength, hmph, their appetite is too big!"
Bei Cao Chuan snorted and continued: "We will leave our tribesmen with them for the moment. In a short period of time, this will cause their rations to be consumed and they will have to use more manpower and divide more energy."
An elder's eyes suddenly brightened: "Then why don't we directly attack their nest? Ge tribe is only a mid-sized tribe now and they have brought out almost all their forces; their camp definitely has poor defenses right now. We will kill and loot, empty their rations and increase the burden on them, and let them have a taste of being attacked!"
"Good idea!"
"Right, this is a good way!"
"I will definitely let Ge tribe taste the pain of being homeless!!"
The elders discussed in excitement.
"Fools!" Bei tribe leader slammed the suggestion and looked at everyone with a chilly and sharp gaze, "Do you all have pig brains? If we destroy their rations, the ones who would suffer would be our tribesmen. You think they won't kill the captives to reduce the consumption? If someone recognized us, what will we do if they kill the captives to vent their anger?"
Bei Cao Chuan let out a breath of turbid air, his eyes shining with wisdom as he said in a heavy voice: "True revenge is not indulging in quick pleasure. Attacking Ge tribe camp is a small thing, we can't hurt their foundation with it. Only by killing Chang Shan Yin, removing Ge tribe's main source of power, can we overturn the situation! We need to fight."
These words enlightened all the elders.
"Lord tribe leader is wise!"
"With lord tribe leader with us, our tribe has hope."
"We will listen to tribe leader's arrangements!"
The elders looked at Bei tribe leader with respect and admiration.
Bei tribe leader Bei Cao Chuan was also an outstanding person!
He had been pushed aside by his siblings when he was young; the most unlikely candidate to the young master position.
He took less actions, disguised his strength and showed a low cultivation, thus he would be taunted and ridiculed by his siblings in banquets and gatherings.
Bei Cao Chuan was an expert at enduring silently, he restrained himself from making a move. His brothers had internal conflicts while he silently accumulated his strength.
When the old Bei tribe leader was critically ill, he finally got the opportunity.
The old Bei tribe leader was injured because of a backlash from a Gu worm and required a specific Gu to heal. However, the tribe found that this Gu was residing in a spirit rhino myriad beast king.
The spirit rhino beast group had about eighty thousand in numbers, the tribe could do nothing and gave up all hope; but Bei Cao Chuan infiltrated the beast group's dwelling by himself.
After several days of observation, he discovered this spirit rhino myriad beast king would occasionally leave his group to roll and play in a mud swamp. After it played to its fill, it would sleep soundly.
The mud was as smelly as dung and many maggots lived in it; Bei Cao Chuan buried himself in the mud for seven days and seven nights without moving.
Hard work paid off; the spirit rhino myriad beast king finally came again to play. However, spirit rhino myriad beast king was huge and when it rolled about, it stepped on Bei Cao Chuan's leg, crushing it immediately.
Bei Cao Chuan silently endured the pain and did not even let out a groan!
When the myriad beast king played to its fill and was sleeping soundly, he quietly stole that wild Gu worm from the myriad beast king's body.
Bei Cao Chuan obtained the wild Gu worm; and he narrowly escaped this dangerous place, moving without stopping, hopping back to the tribe with his one leg and saved the old tribe leader.
The whole tribe was in an uproar!
Bei Cao Chuan's actions contained shocking filial piety, outstanding courage and meticulous planning; causing the whole tribe to look at him in a new light.
His siblings were also extremely surprised when he revealed his rank three peak stage cultivation.
After the old tribe leader survived, he emotionally shed tears: "The number of times I have cried in my life can be counted by my fingers. Today, I am crying not because I managed to escape from death's door, but because I have a son like this; as a father, I am moved by his filial piety, and as the tribe leader, I am happy for the future of my tribe!"
On the spot, Bei Cao Chuan was appointed as young tribe leader.
Bei Cao Chuan did not conceal himself anymore, he started to deal with all the tribe affairs and fought for everyone's approval. On another hand, he suppressed his siblings and fortified his position, not giving any opportunity to his competitors.
In the end, he became the tribe leader and made vigorous efforts to gradually expand Bei tribe. After repeatedly overcoming several difficulties, he had finally walked to this day.
Although Bei Cao Chuan was only about thirty or so, he had established deep prestige within the tribe and was trusted by all the elders!
"Lord supreme elder, lord tribe leader and elders, we have already finished controlling Zheng tribe camp and have gained a lot of resources!" The elder who was in charge of cleaning the battlefield reported excitedly.
"From our initial estimations, we have obtained at least eight million primeval stones. We have obtained thousands of Gu worms with a hundred rank three Gu among them. There is also a Gu house secret room which we are opening right now."
Listening to such spoils of war, Ge tribesmen had extreme joy in their face.
The gains from Zheng tribe was much more than from Bei tribe.
Zheng tribe was a mid-sized tribe, but was a tribe with deep foundation. Even though there were much losses in the battle, the resources that were preserved were still enormous.
"Lord supreme elder, lord tribe leader, what should be our next course of action?" This elder asked after he finished reporting.
All the Ge tribesmen looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan said expressionlessly: "Continue attacking, our next target: Pei tribe!"

Chapter 482: Pei Yan Fei
The night wind whistled and the wolf group howled.
Pei tribe and Ge tribe were fighting an intense battle around the walls.
Flames, golden light, lightning, vines, all kinds of attacks converged to become a scene of brilliant fireworks, lifting the veil of the night.
"Kill, break the walls, then we can destroy the Pei tribe!"
"Fight them, kill these Ge tribe thieves!!"
The two sides roared with all their might to boost up their morale.
Thick blood smell was lingering around the battlefield.
Large numbers of cut limbs and bodies were everywhere. The normally respected Gu Masters had lives as cheap as grass here. Of course, there were even more corpses of wolves.
Seeing the turtleback myriad wolf king being repelled back again, Fang Yuan sighed to himself.
Because they had charged through Bei and Zheng tribe one after another, information was inevitably leaked; when Fang Yuan led Ge tribesmen to attack Pei tribe, the other side had already made tight defensive preparations.
After losing the night wolf myriad beast king, Fang Yuan only had two myriad wolf kings left – turtleback myriad wolf king and wind wolf myriad wolf king.
Originally, the attacks from both kings would pose threat to Pei tribe's defensive formations. But because of one person, Fang Yuan could only send one myriad beast king to attack.
This person was Pei tribe leader Pei Yan Fei!
He was the focus point of this battlefield, being in even more limelight than Fang Yuan's two myriad beast kings.
Pei Yan Fei was eight feet tall with a stately appearance. His eyes were sharp and full of power, his back wide and his waist thin; right now, he was charging through the wolf group, sweeping everything in his path and revealing the demeanor of an unparalleled general.
The characteristic that was the most focused on was his black eyebrows that shone with a dark luster. The eyebrows were thick in the middle and sharp in their two ends with the tip raised slightly, like a swallow's wings.
This was not a natural characteristic but the imprint of two rank four swallow wings Gu.
It was precisely because of this person rampaging around the battlefield with no one able to hold him down that Fang Yuan had to make one myriad wolf king stay for protection to defend against Pei Yan Fei's sudden attack.
With this, only turtle back myriad wolf king went to battle in the frontline, causing the charge towards Pei tribe to decrease by a lot.
"Ahh!" One Ge tribe elder let out a bitter scream before death.
Following his scream, his head flew to the air; cut by Pei Yan Fei.
"Another elder died under Pei Yan Fei's hands!" Ge tribesmen's eyes twitched at this scene.
Pei Yan Fei did not directly attack Fang Yuan, but instead rampaged in the wolf group and had already killed three Ge tribe's elders.
With this way, he was not entangled by the myriad wolf king and had his hands free. He was also indirectly restricting wind wolf myriad wolf king from fighting. One could see his wisdom along with his bravery.
"Is there anyone else?!" Pei Yan Fei used swallow wings Gu to fly in the air and shouted majestically.
His voice suppressed the wolf howls, and spread clearly to all parts of the battlefield.
Ge tribe was silent while Pei tribe's Gu Masters' morale was greatly increased.
"Truly a fierce general!" Fang Yuan lightly praised.
Pei Yan Fei possessed extremely strong flying techniques, being an expert in low altitude flying. Although he was not at master level, he was not too far from it.
He was a metal path Gu Master; his attacks were very sharp and ordinary Gu Masters would find it hard to block them, and he also possessed outstanding movement ability. He was moving all over the battlefield with a very fast speed, like a celestial horse going wherever it wanted. Usually, those that were stronger than him did not have a movement ability like his; while those that could catch up to him, did not have a battle strength that could match his.
Several times Fang Yuan tried to mobilize wind wolf myriad beast king towards the frontline but Pei Yan Fei would detour and charge towards him.
Ge tribesmen were unable to block him, so Fang Yuan could only make wind wolf king return.
This wind wolf myriad beast king was slightly stronger than Pei Yan Fei, but it was a wild beast after all and did not have enough intelligence. Even if it was controlled by Fang Yuan, its flexibility could not match with Pei Yan Fei.
"I have very few myriad beast kings, it is getting so difficult just to deal with one Pei Yan Fei. The wolf group's scale is also not big. A truly mature beast group would have at least hundred thousand beasts. The current three enslavement masters of Northern Plains – Ma Zun, Yang Po Ying and Jiang Bao Ya – have beast groups of hundreds of thousands of beasts. They even have a small group of mutated beasts as their trump card."
Fang Yuan's mind was on expanding the beast group as he observed the battlefield.
His beast group might have had taken shape, but its strength had clearly weakened after repeatedly fighting three battles. Most of all, the main battle strength was not powerful enough.
The ones that truly decided the war in the Gu Master world were still the high rank Gu Masters.
Fang Yuan pondered while mobilizing thousand wolf kings and hundred wolf kings to lead the wolf group to form a wave of concentrated attack towards the Pei tribe camp.
The wolves howled and charged forward aggressively like a tsunami, causing the Gu Masters on the walls to tense up and hurriedly mobilize everything.
"The attack this time is really fierce, bring the reserve troops here quickly to defend!"
"Earth path Gu Masters, restore the walls fast!"
"Hold on, we must hold on, don't stint on your primeval essence!"
BOOM BOOM BOOM…..
Large amount of flames shot down and exploded towards the wolf group. Golden spears and arrows flew like dense school of fish, striking down on the wolf group, causing massive casualties.
Several elders joined hands and created two-three small scale tornado that that sent the wolves flying fifty-sixty feet high; the wolves fell to their death.
"Let's attack!" Ge tribesmen also started their offence.
Ghost flame Gu!
Two-three balls of eerie blue ghost fire smashed towards the wall, hitting a group of Gu Masters; the Gu Masters' whole bodies were covered with the chilly ghost fire.
They let out the most tragic shouts. The ghost fire did not injure their body, but directly burned their souls; such pain was extremely intense.
Fist stone Gu!
An enormous stone that looked like a clenched fist whizzed through the sky, producing a rumbling sound like that of a lion or tiger, then it heavily smashed on the wall.
A deep crater immediately formed on the wall and the cracks quickly spread towards all directions; the Gu Masters on the wall could not maintain their balance and fell down.
Lightning net Gu!
A large net formed from lightning current flew towards the sky and fell down towards a part of the wall.
The Gu Masters on that part of the wall were paralyzed by the lightning; some stubbornly resisted with their defensive Gu, while some were scorched like coal – dead. …
The fierce explosions caused huge numbers of casualties within a short period of time, and also quickly consumed the Gu Masters' primeval essence. Thus, after a while, they had to stop.
Pei tribe's and Ge tribe's Gu Masters stopped attacking and retreated. Some directly sat down on their spot and grasped every second to recover their primeval essence.
"Now is the time." Fang Yuan's eyes brightened as he saw this while sitting on the white eye wolf.When the two sides were gasping for breath, he made his move.
Wolf smoke Gu!
Wolf smoke surged, covering the battlefield and quickly healing the wolf group's wounds and recovering their battle strength.
Wolf howl Gu!
Fang Yuan let out a long howl towards the sky, and after the mournful howl, the wolf group also roared, their battle strength raising rapidly.
Another portion of wolf group rushed to the battlefield, joining with the remaining wolf group in the battlefield, forming a new wave of attack.
This offensive was directed towards a specific part of the wall.
This part was already on the verge of collapse after being smashed by the giant fist stone.
Howl!
The turtleback myriad wolf king also rushed forward!
The Gu Masters on the wall struggled to stand up and used all kinds of attacks, but turtleback myriad wolf king forcibly resisted the attack and smashed the wall into pieces.
The wall collapsed; a hole appeared in the defensive line. Countless wolves rushed through the hole and started killing Pei tribe's Gu Masters. Pei Yan Fei immediately activated swallow wings Gu to quickly go back.
Rank four golden coat Gu!
His whole body shone with a golden light which then dimmed down and formed an armor.
Rank four swallow wings Gu!
Another pair of swallow wings grew out from his back, and with two pair of wings, his speed was doubled.
Rank four rainbow transformation Gu!
CLAP , he put his two palms together and raised them above his head, his whole body like a straight pencil, then like a golden arrow, he made an arc through the air.
With the activation of the rainbow transformation Gu, his two pairs of wings and his whole body gradually turned into a golden halo.
Three rank four Gu activated together to form into a killer move.
Pei Yan Fei's killer move – Golden Rainbow Strike!
Like a rainbow, his whole body turned into a golden meteor, letting out dazzling light like a fragment of the sun, forcing people to narrow their eyes.
Golden rainbow carved out a stunning arc through the air before instantly striking turtleback myriad wolf king.
Under Fang Yuan's control, in the moment of imminent crisis, turtleback myriad wolf king turned its body and faced Pei Yan Fei with its shell.
BOOM!
The golden rainbow struck the turtleback, producing a huge sound and also giving off infinite golden light.
For a moment, the Gu Masters on the battlefield had no choice but to close their eyes, but even so, the dazzling light caused their eyes to tear up.
The golden rays of light dimmed down, and the Gu Masters slowly opened their blurred eyes.
The turtleback myriad wolf king's shell was unexpectedly pierced through by Pei Yan Fei, creating a hole from where one could see the right side of the wolf king from its left.
The turtleback myriad wolf king let out a mournful howl; with such injuries, its battle strength had fallen to the bottom.
Meanwhile, Pei Yan Fei's expression paled as he hovered in the air.
Many shocked sounds echoed at this moment.
Ge tribe's Gu Masters looked stifled, while Pei tribe's morale soared, shouting the might of their tribe leader.
"Lord, Pei Yan Fei has battled intensely for so long and now has used his killer move to injure myriad wolf king; his primeval essence should be exhausted. Now is the time to go in for the kill!" Ge Guang excitedly shouted.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. Ge Guang was right, Pei Yan Fei had battled for so long, he should not have much primeval essence left.
Fang Yuan naturally knew this clearly.
But with his five hundred years of memories, Fang Yuan knew Pei Yan Fei had a mysterious Gu called do or die Gu. This Gu was a rank five Gu that could provide the Gu Master with large amounts of primeval essence instantly, but its after-effect was a decrease in their cultivation stage.
Of course, just this point was not enough for Fang Yuan to give up. But…
"Is there any bad news from our camp, Zheng tribe camp and Bei tribe camp?" Fang Yuan asked.
Ge Guang promptly replied: "Not yet."
Fang Yuan immediately knew something was up and sneered, before sending the command: "Our tribe's battle strength has fallen and Pei tribe has suffered even more casualties. We shall retreat."

Chapter 483: Safely Retreat
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Bei Cao Chuan had been observing the development of the battle situation.
Beside him, there were eleven Gu Masters. Other than the Bei tribe elders, there were also several Zheng tribe elders, they are all summoned by Bei Cao Chuan.
Their only motive was to kill Chang Shan Yin, to reverse the outcome of this battle.
"Ge tribe is nothing but scattered sand, we do not have to worry about them. The only problem is Wolf King Chang Shan Yin. As long as we kill him, victory is ours! We can still win!!" Bei Cao Chuan's eyes shone brilliantly as he observed the battle while raising the morale of the people around him.
Zheng tribe elders were all convinced by him: "Bei tribe leader is right, but when do we attack?"
Bei Cao Chuan squinted his eyes: "We have to wait! Wolf King is very vigilant, he only sent the turtleback myriad wolf king to lead the attack, while the wind wolf myriad beast king was always near him. He has ample defensive forces around him, although we are strong, there is only one chance for us to attack him. Once we fail, we can only force our way through. By then, we would be in a hopeless situation, being surrounded by the wolf group, there will be little chance of killing Chang Shan Yin."
At this moment, the most intense clash happened on the battlefield.
All sorts of attacks, in all shapes and colors, filled the battlefield. The loud sound of explosions occurred continually.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts shuddered. In such a battlefield, even a rank three Gu Master was cannon fodder. Only rank four or five Gu Masters were the main force.
"Lord, now is the best time to attack." An elder suggested.
"No hurry." Bei Cao Chuan waved his hand.
After the attack persisted and eventually ended, an elder could not stand it anymore: "Lord tribe leader, now is the time. While Ge tribe Gu Masters are recovering their primeval essence, we can charge in and catch them unguarded."
"No! Our target is only Chang Shan Yin. Although they had an intense battle, the number of wolves near Chang Shan Yin had increased in numbers instead." Bei Cao Chuan rejected solemnly.
Next, Fang Yuan struck and made good use of his timing to destroy a portion of the defensive wall.
This was a crucial development.
Pei tribe's defenses were finally broken, large number of wolves charged in as the turtleback myriad wolf king also arrived.
"This is bad! Once the defensive line is broken, the wolf group would carry out a full frontal assault, Pei tribe would not be able to handle it, this is an emergency!"
"Lord, we have to attack. If not, Pei tribe is finished."
"If we strike now, we can still salvage this situation."
"No!" Bei Cao Chuan stood up, his eyes were flashing as he was filled with joy, the long-awaited chance had arrived.
As long as Pei tribe's defenses were broken, Chang Shan Yin would need to mobilize the wolf group and attack Pei tribe camp. This way, his defenses would be greatly weakened, it would give Bei Cao Chuan a good chance to kill him.
"If we strike now, it would only alert Chang Shan Yin and he would recall his wolves, causing the battle to turn into a stalemate again. After we expose ourselves, we would lose the precious chance to kill him. Our three tribes are allied, why was Pei tribe's losses so much less than ours? The Wolf King is so vigilant, he is not easy to deal with. Only with Pei tribe as the bait, allowing him to taste the sweetness of victory, can we kill him at the moment when he lets his guard down!"
In an instant, Bei Cao Chuan's brain worked intensely as he had several thoughts.
But he could not say that out loud, instead he said: "Wait a bit longer, we cannot be anxious. Believe in Pei Yan Fei! He is a famous general in northern plains, do you think he is so weak?"
The rank three Gu Masters heard this and stopped their charging momentum.
Bei Cao Chuan had just said that when Pei Yan Fei unleashed his killer move, Golden Rainbow Strike, the intense explosion forced everyone to raise their arms to shield their eyes from the bright light.
After the light dispersed, turtleback myriad wolf king suffered heavy injures while Pei Yan Fei floated above the rubbles of the defensive wall, his expression was pale.
"So strong!"
"With just one strike, he heavily injured the myriad beast king."
"This is Pei Yan Fei's famous killer move, it is truly formidable!"
"Bei tribe leader is amazing, he understood the battlefield so well, I have learnt much."
The elders expressed their amazement at Pei Yan Fei's battle strength, while praising Bei Cao Chuan's judgement.
Bei Cao Chuan's lips twitched, he would rather see Pei Yan Fei fail in guarding his camp.
"There is still hope, we have to wait a bit longer. Pei Yan Fei definitely used up a lot of his primeval essence for such a strong move. Looking at his expression, he must be at his wit's end. As long as wind wolf king is near Chang Shan Yin, he is near invincible. Pei tribe still had the lower hand, if the wolf group attacks Pei tribe camp again, I will continue my plan from earlier. If Pei Yan Fei has the advantage, I will make use of the opportunity and cooperate with him, dealing the fatal blow to Chang Shan Yin!"
Sparks were flying in Bei Cao Chuan's head, he blinked as he modified his plan.
"I have a chance, there is still hope! I cannot fluster at this moment, I have to calm down and endure… As long as we kill Chang Shan Yin, not only will we turn this around, I will also gain fame. After I become Liu Wen Wu's subordinate, I can gain important roles and fight for more opportunities for my tribe!"
Bei Cao Chuan cheered for himself in his heart.
But at this moment, his pupils shrunk as he swore: "Oh my god, what the f*ck!"
The elders sent him a peculiar gaze.
All along, even though the battle was tense, Bei Cao Chuan was extremely confident and had the situation in his grasp, why was he losing his nerves now?
Bei Cao Chuan could not care less about the gazes, he stared at the battlefield as he spoke out uncontrollably: "Why is this Chang Shan Yin retreating now of all times?"
The Wolf King was in an advantageous situation, although the turtleback myriad wolf king was heavily injured, it was not dead. He still had another wind wolf myriad beast king!
In contrast, Pei Yan Fei was at his wit's end. Most importantly, Pei tribe camp's defenses were broken. As long as he attacked following this weakness, Pei tribe's pressure in defending would be many times of before! Most likely, they would not able to hold on.
Once the wolf group invades Pei tribe camp, Bei Cao Chuan would have the chance to attack, dealing Wolf King the fatal blow from behind!
But now, he was retreating?!
Why was Chang Shan Yin retreating, Bei Cao Chuan had no time to think about this already.
He was extremely nervous now, his confident face started to show some anxiety.
Wolf King still had much strength now, once he retreated, the assault that he had painstaking waited for would be ruined.
The worst thing was, Bei tribe camp and Zheng tribe camp were in Ge tribe's control. Once the wolves retreated, they would bring all these captives and resources away, Bei Cao Chuan would lose his tribe completely.
Without even a tribe, only left with several elders, Bei Cao Chuan's tribe leader status would become the biggest laughingstock.
Just look at the current situation, once he goes to Liu Wen Wu, he would definitely not receive an important position.
"No, I cannot let Chang Shan Yin retreat so easily. Once he leaves, we have no hopes of succeeding!"
Bei Cao Chuan screamed in his heart.
He stood up abruptly, shouting: "Everyone, we cannot wait any longer. Chang Shan Yin is out of steam, they are trying to retreat, now is the time we attack and kill the Wolf King. Everyone, it is time to take back our tribe!"
The elders near him could see the battle situation too.
Bei Cao Chuan's words made them energized as their battle intent surged.
"Kill!"
"Chang Shan Yin, don't think of leaving!"
"Wolf King, fight me one on one if you have the guts!!"
A group of rank three Gu Masters left their hiding spot and started attacking Ge tribe's army from the back under Bei Cao Chuan's lead.
"Hmph, they appeared as expected." Fang Yuan foresaw this, he did not fluster upon seeing these people.
He understood clearly, Bei Cao Chuan and gang did not go back to reinforce their tribes, thus there were only two possibilities.
One was that they were attacking Ge tribe's main camp to exact revenge. The other was that they were reinforcing Pei tribe.
Since the three tribes and their camps were intact, these people were definitely hiding nearby.
If Fang Yuan continued attacking Pei tribe camp and fought with Pei Yan Fei with all his strength, during the crucial moment, he would definitely face an assassination. Thus, retreating was the wisest choice.
"But these people were really good at waiting, they appeared now after I forced them, it seems they have deep motives." Fang Yuan rode on the white-eyes wolf as he thought calmly.
Ge tribesmen were anxious.
Bei Cao Chuan and the other eleven people were experts, they were unstoppable in their attack, it brought a huge mental pressure to the Ge tribesmen.
"Lord supreme elder, what do we do?" Ge Guang asked.
"Why are you panicking, listen to my command and retreat." Fang Yuan laughed coldly.
Retreating in the battlefield was extremely risky. Often, when retreating, enemies would chase after them and cause them to fail in getting away. In his previous life, Fang Yuan had participated in many battles, he knew that these wolves were good for covering them when retreating. He had the ability to face pressure from two sides and escape.
He moved the turtleback myriad wolf king near him and recalled his wolf group, making the hundred wolf kings, thousand wolf kings gather towards the center of the army.
As for those ordinary wild wolves, they were left behind to expend the enemy's primeval essence.
As expected, after a moment, Bei Cao Chuan and gang lost their momentum, starting to use the primeval essence in their apertures sparingly.
"Damn it, do we just watch Chang Shan Yin retreat like this?" Bei Cao Chuan bit his lips, his eyes had turned red from killing, he was extremely indignant in his heart.
"Pei Yan Fei, why are you not attacking? If we cannot take the Wolf King's life today, how will we have the face to participate in the heroes assembly?" Bei Cao Chuan screamed.
Pei Yan Fei snorted, he was not a brute, he knew that Bei Cao Chuan's sudden assault was after he threw Pei tribe under the bus, he wanted to use them as bait.
But Wolf King Chang Shan Yin could not be let off.
During this battle, Ge tribe fought three tribes at one go, if they retreated successfully, they would shoot to fame, and these three tribes would become their stepping stones.
Moreover, Pei tribe suffered huge losses, how could he not take revenge for such deep hatred?
Thinking of this, Pei Yan Fei resolved himself.
Rank five — Do or Die Gu!
Swish swish swish!
Pei Yan Fei's heart felt hollow as large amounts of primeval essence appeared from thin air, filling up his dry aperture.
"Chang Shan Yin, hand over your life!" He howled, rushing over.
Ge tribesmen were flustered.
Fang Yuan laughed, asking around: "Who is this?"
Ge Guang admired Fang Yuan's calmness and the anxiety in his heart vanished, answering solemnly: "Bei tribe leader Bei Cao Chuan!"
"Bei Cao Chuan… Pei Yan Fei… hehehe, heroes emerge in chaotic times, very good, very good." Fang Yuan praised them loudly as his voice resounded in the air.
Next, he jumped down from the white-eyes wolf, changing his steed to a hump wolf.
White-eyes wolf took a few quick steps, standing together with wind wolf myriad beast king and turtleback myriad wolf king.
"That is…" Bei Cao Chuan's momentum froze, his pupils shrunk.
Pei Yan Fei's expression was grim, he was extremely bitter.
White-eyes wolf was a mutated beast with strength equalling a myriad beast king! Earlier, they were too focused on Fang Yuan, thus ignoring his white-eyes wolf. Now that the white-eyes wolf stood out, its identity was immediately exposed.
"Damn it!" Pei Yan Fei gritted his teeth, stopping his attack helplessly.
If Fang Yuan only had the wind wolf myriad beast king left, that would be fine, but with a white-eyes wolf, he had enough strength to resist their attacks and even fight back.
Pei Yan Fei did not dare to take the risk and place Pei tribe in danger again.
He chose to give up.
On the other end, Bei Cao Chuan had no choice but to stop his steps.
He looked at the army retreating, he not only felt dejection in his heart but also a strong chill: "Wolf King Chang Shan Yin, just how many trump cards do you have?"
If only he knew…

Chapter 484: Influence
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The noisy night winds gradually stopped, thick mist started to form near the wild grass on the ground.
Ge tribe army retreated along crescent lake, moving slowly.
Having successfully retreated, these people still had battle intent left in them.
Even though they did not take down Pei tribe in the end, they had made a name for themselves in this battle, Ge tribesmen were excitedly talking about it.
"This battle was amazing. That dogshit three tribe alliance, they dared to find trouble with us Ge tribe, they were simply courting death!"
'Hmph, what Zheng tribe, Bei tribe, or Pei tribe, they were merely so."
"Now, Bei tribe and Zheng tribe camps have been taken down by us, and Pei tribe suffered huge losses. After this battle tonight, Ge tribe is going to become famous throughout northern plains!"
Using the strength of one tribe to challenge three, such an accomplishment and bravery made the Ge tribe Gu Masters feel proud and confident of themselves.
"It was all thanks to Lord Wolf King Chang Shan Yin." A Gu Master exclaimed.
The words immediately caused a huge commotion.
"Mm, that is right. If not for the wolves charging ahead and paving the way for us, we would definitely suffer great losses and face many casualties."
"This is the power of an enslavement path Gu Master. No wonder so many tribes want to nurture one or two enslavement path Gu Masters even if they had to curb their spending.
"Lord Wolf King is our tribe's supreme elder. We are one family."
"Mm, it is really our honor to have Lord Wolf King by our side!"
After this battle, Fang Yuan's prestige in Ge tribe rose to an absurd level.
Fang Yuan rode the white-eyes wolf again, as Ge tribe leader and the band of elders accompanied him.
As the supreme elder, Fang Yuan had the authority to forcefully remove the tribe leader Ge Guang. Of course, Ge Guang was an obedient chess piece, Fang Yuan had no intention to remove him.
The grand army first returned to Zheng tribe camp, the Gu Masters left behind had already gathered the resources and placed them on the thirty blue farm slug transportation troops.
These slugs were known as mucus Gu worms, they were like snails without shells.
They were rank three with a body larger than elephants, they were blue and had blue water crystals growing on their bodies.
These blue farm slug Gu were easy to use.
They expended little primeval essence and Gu Masters only needed to 'stuff' the items into their bodies.
Blue farm slug Gu did not have any attacking capabilities, after 'swallowing' the items, their bodies would expand.
These thirty blue farm slug Gu were now five times their original size. Even a myriad beast king was not half of their size.
But even so, there was still a small portion of the resources in Zheng tribe that could not be carried, and could only be left behind in the camp.
The elder that stayed behind handed over the list of gains after calculation.
Fang Yuan browsed through it, the profits were huge.
"We are rich!" Ge Guang saw this and was elated.
"This is a huge fortune!"
"And we obtained so many captives as well, our Ge tribe can quickly become a large-sized tribe!"
"We have to be alert these few days, we have to strengthen our defenses, and prevent the surrounding tribes from eyeing our goods."
"But what do we do with the Gu Masters who surrendered? According to the norm, they will become slave Gu Masters. But we do not have so many slavery Gu."
Ge tribesmen started to feel a headache.
Ge tribe was only a middle-sized tribe, they had a weak foundation. If they were a large tribe, they would be able to better digest these gains.
They left behind a group of people to defend the place, and instructed them to retreat of Pei tribe's army came over, to preserve their strength.
Ge tribe's army brought the thirty blue farm slug Gu and large numbers of captives and continued on their journey.
When they reached Bei tribe camp, the troops stopped. When they set off again, the size of the group had expanded by several times again.
When they finally reached their Ge tribe camp, the returning warriors received a warm welcome from all the Ge tribesmen.
The cheers were extremely loud as the first rays of dawn shone on their faces. In contrast, those captives were all either numb or in despair, it was like the two sides lived in different worlds.
Fang Yuan lightly let out a breath of turbid air.
On the way back, he was afraid of Pei tribe's assault.
"It seems that Pei Yan Fei was concerned with his tribe's safety and wanted to preserve his forces, thus he did not attack. Otherwise, we will face much greater obstacles on the way. Of course, the main reason for this was because I showed them the white-eyes wolf, displaying a facade that it had the strength of a myriad beast king."
But the truth was, Fang Yuan's white-eyes wolf had grown because of third watch Gu. There was not a single wild Gu worm on it.
This was the world of Gu, without a single wild Gu, white-eyes wolf could not even defeat a thousand beast king.
If they really fought, white-eyes wolf was only a giant wild wolf.
But if Pei Yan Fei and Bei Cao Chuan were not deterred and continued attacking, Fang Yuan would be in trouble.
He had already exerted 120% of his wolf group's strength, in terms of strength path, he had just started, having only thirty jun of strength. In terms of soul, he had not reached thousand man soul yet.
"My current strength is still too weak, after three battles in one night, I can vividly feel all my weaknesses."
Now that they were safe, Fang Yuan looked at the wolf group.
The sixty thousand wolf group had suffered great losses, only less than half survived. But his greatest loss was his myriad beast kings.
Fang Yuan had three myriad beast kings, but after this battle, night wolf myriad beast king died in battle, and turtleback myriad wolf king suffered heavy injuries, although it has started receiving treatment, it was still unconscious. Wind wolf myriad beast king was full of injuries, it had lost a lot of the Gu worms on it and its battle strength fell greatly.
But Fang Yuan felt no regrets.
Compared to his gains, these losses were nothing.
Not to say his immense loot from the two camps, Fang Yuan had achieved all his goals from this battle.
Taking the initiative to attack and fighting three tribes alone, the name of Wolf King Chang Shan Yin would spread in northern plains again, becoming a widely known topic.
This was a testament to Fang Yuan's strength, it would be a great help to his future plans of participating in the heroes assembly and dealing with Tai Bai Yun Sheng.
Furthermore, these dead wolves served a greater purpose.
Their souls were kept by Fang Yuan and were used to fertilize Dang Hun mountain.
"After this battle, I have created a name for myself, as well as displaying my ferocity. I'm sure this will deter the nearby forces, with this, Ge tribe can recuperate and regroup, while I can also take some time to expand my wolf group and cultivate my wolfman soul, at the same time, preparing my rank five enslavement path Gu worms."
Lying on his bed, Fang Yuan's thoughts spanned out and slowly faded.
Outside the Gu house, the cheers were getting louder as the Ge tribesmen celebrated like no tomorrow.
Fang Yuan gradually closed his eyes.
He felt tired.
Three battles in one night, controlling so many wolves to participate in intense battle, it expended his mental energy, a form of fatigue originating from his soul spread throughout his body.
Just when he was sleeping soundly, a great commotion had expanded all over crescent lake. In the morning, almost every tribe leader nearby or their strategist received the information regarding this battle.
There were suspicious people, threatened people, fearful people, or furious people.
But regardless of their feelings, at once, Ge tribe and Wolf King Chang Shan Yin became the hottest topic of every tribe.
"I thought he was just a cat, but he turned out to be a leopard!" Wang tribe leader was staring intently at the paper describing this battle, after a long while, he sighed as he was filled with lamentation.
He wanted to watch from the sidelines, if the situation permitted it, he would reap some rewards from this conflict.
But to think that Ge tribe challenged three tribes in one night under Fang Yuan's lead, dealing a huge blow to Pei tribe. Bei tribe leader Bei Cao Chuan became a vagabond, and Pei Yan Fei, a fierce general in northern plains, lost a small realm of his cultivation!
"He is simply too daring and ferocious, he is overly ruthless!" Even Wang tribe leader's stragetist Wang De Dao looked at this information and exclaimed as his expression changed.
"Ge tribe attacked without warning, striking first and catching the three tribes unguarded, two were destroyed while one was half ruined. This is overstepping the line, they broke our unspoken rule, aren't they afraid of being blamed by all of us?" Wang De Dao said furiously, Ge tribe's rampant invasion made him feel uneasy.
At this time, the Gu Master outside brought in another letter.
This was a letter from Ge tribe, it was sent to all the forces near crescent lake.
The letter was written by Ge Guang personally, it detailed how the three tribes had ill intentions, in order for Ge tribe to defend itself, they had to retaliate. The letter talked about Yan tribe and all the reasons and justifications they had, including Chang Shan Yin's grudges from many years ago.
"The truth is, back then, Chang Shan Yin was a victim, this was why he had to face Ha Tu Gu and the bandits alone. Now that he is back, he wants to exact revenge on his tribe. Meanwhile, Chang tribe was already part of young master Liu Wen Wu's forces, Yan tribe was Liu Wen Wu's family-in-law, but they did not know about his grudges and asked Chang Shan Yin for help, this is how everything started." Wang De Dao looked at this letter and his expression was uncertain, he became more furious: "Chang Shan Yin is involving the innocent with his personal grudges, what kind of northern plains hero is this?!"
Wang tribe leader was calm, he got to the point immediately: "But this way, Ge tribe has a reason to attack. Although this reason is so forced, they can at least cover themselves with a proper explanation. Ge tribe has Chang Shan Yin's protection, after defeating three tribes, their strength would definitely increase and they would expand. There is little hope of the other tribes gathering to deal with Chang Shan Yin after seeing the sorry states of these three tribes."
Wang De Dao nodded: "Then what do we do next?"
"Wolf King's actions were too quick, now that it had already happened, we cannot interfere anymore. Sigh, I underestimated the Wolf King…" Wang tribe leader sighed.
At this time, someone outside informed him that Bei tribe leader Bei Cao Chuan has brought his band of elders to meet Wang tribe leader.
"Bei Cao Chuan? Why is he here?" Wang tribe leader frowned.
Wang De Dao reminded him: "Lord tribe leader, did you forget, Bei tribe had sent an elder to invite us to join his alliance earlier, that elder is still staying with us."
Wang tribe leader patted his forehead: "Oh, I nearly forgot. I said I would host him for three days, today is the third day. No way, I should not meet this Bei Cao Chuan, go and meet him, tell him I have an important Gu to refine today, I cannot leave my closed cultivation."
Bei Cao Sheng had been well treated by Wang tribe these few days, but he did not forget his mission. During this time, he had requested to meet with Wang tribe leader several times but was rejected.
Seeing Bei Cao Chuan, he was very surprised: "Lord tribe leader, and all the other elders, why are you here personally?"
Before he got a reply, Bei Cao Sheng said with an expression of guilt: "Everyone, I have disappointed you. That Wang tribe leader keeps rejecting my offer, not agreeing to join the alliance. But no worry, with the strength of our three tribes, we can easily deal with Ge tribe!"
Bei tribe elders heard this and some of their eyebrows trembled, while the others' expressions turned grim.
Bei Cao Chuan felt bitter in his heart, at once, he did not know what to say, or how to explain the situation to this elder.

Chapter 485: Plotting against the Land Spirit
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Eight days later, at night.
The stars shone in the sky as the night winds blew.
Fang Yuan rode on the white-eyes wolf's back, ready to move out.
Ge Guang stood by his side, reporting the situation of the last few days: "During these last eight days, large numbers of small to mid-sized tribes have started on their journey to attend the heroes assembly. Right now, only several large-sized tribes are left in crescent lake. Bei Cao Chuan, Pei Yan Fei and the others were the first to leave.
Fang Yuan adjusted his posture: "Mm, earlier when we took the initiative to challenge the three tribes, it made many tribes apprehensive. Since the heroes assembly was nearing, it is normal that they decided to leave. But for those large tribes, they have a lot of stuff to settle due to their many enterprises. Thus, they usually attend the second half of the heroes assembly."
"Supreme elder is wise, that is indeed so." Ge Guang started bootlicking.
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Crescent lake's aquatic plants are beautiful, we will stay here for the time being, we should be internalizing our gains from the battles now instead of travelling."
"Yes lord." Ge Guang heaved a sigh of relief, they had such intentions in their earlier discussions.
Ge tribe was now like a fat man who had eaten too much, they could not walk. These eight days, they had been expanding the campgrounds day and night, recruiting those captives. After calculating their resources, the strength of the tribe was growing day by day.
"Those water wolves, are they still there?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Yes, I sent investigative Gu Masters there many times to check them out. These water wolves amount to about five thousand, at night, they will enter that water den to rest. Lord, do you really not need guards?"
Fang Yuan snorted, replying arrogantly: "Any place with wolves will have me Chang Shan Yin. Why would I need guards?"
Ge Guang could hear his unhappiness, thus he quickly bowed and gave way: "I wish Lord Supreme Elder all the best in your recruitment of the water wolves."
"Mm, you will have to be careful of the matters in the tribe. Without me around, you have to take note of those Gu Masters who surrendered."
"Yes lord."
Fang Yuan left behind the wind wolf king, bringing the weakened turtleback myriad wolf king and eighteen thousand wolves, leaving the campsite and starting on their hunt.
He first followed the map that Ge tribe investigators had drawn, getting close to the water den.
Water wolves lived in the water, they ate fish as food. Often, when they were hungry, they would also come ashore to eat some rabbits or rats.
With the arrival of the wolf group, these water wolves were immediately alerted.
To defend their homes, the water wolves formed into a tight formation as they left the water den, staring at Fang Yuan vigilantly.
Fang Yuan expressionlessly sat on his white-eyes wolf's back, he waved with his hand and countless wild wolves howled as they attacked the water wolves.
The water wolves resisted as the two sides engaged in fierce combat.
Wolf howl Gu! Wolf smoke Gu!
Fang Yuan made his move from the back several times, firming grasping control of the battle in his hands.
His wolf group was larger to begin with, soon, they started killing water wolves.
More than a thousand water wolf corpses were left on the ground, as Fang Yuan used wolf enslavement Gu to subdue more than two thousand of them, the remaining thousand escaped to the deep parts of crescent lake.
Fang Yuan did not chase them, instead he destroyed this water den and obtained several hundred water wolf cubs.
Next, he went to the next location.
After destroying several wolf dens, by night time, Fang Yuan subdued over six thousand water wolves, two thousand turtleback wolves, and a thousand night wolves.
Crescent lake had the most water wolves, but there were also some turtleback wolves, night wolves, and wind wolves.
But the wind wolves were too fast, they were hard to catch. They often retreated at the slightest danger, Fang Yuan targeted a pack of wind wolves but they escaped quickly amidst battle.
Wolf groups were very crafty, in order to capture them, Fang Yuan had to pay a price as well. If the cost was too high, and was greater than the benefits, he would give up on them.
Some large water wolf groups had myriad wolf kings, Fang Yuan did not dare to attack them abruptly.
But this time, his expedition of hunting wolves was only a cover. Now that he had acted enough, he searched for a secluded spot and surrounded himself with wolves. Next, he activated moving perspective cup Gu and contacted little Hu Immortal.
Little Hu Immortal got the news and immediately summoned a group of starlight firefly Gu, using the starlight and green grape immortal essence to activate stargate Gu.
Stargate Gu came in pairs, using the power of black heaven, they could traverse regions.
Fang Yuan waited for a while, seeing the starlight in the night sky descending and gathering on his stargate Gu.
The stargate Gu was like a blue gemstone as it flew towards the sky, when it reached mid air, the starlight exploded as a door was formed.
This time, Fang Yuan did not enter the stargate anxiously, instead, he sent the weak and heavily injured turtleback myriad wolf king in first, as well as large numbers of injured wolves.
The large number of wolves entered the stargate like flowing river water, disappearing.
This way, Fang Yuan only had strong and elite wolves left with him, this greatly reduced his pressure of feeding them.
As for those injured wolves, they would reproduce and grow in the blessed land, giving birth to healthy cubs. As time in Hu Immortal blessed land was faster, they would grow quickly and become Fang Yuan's new source of wolves.
After sending these wolves into Hu Immortal blessed land, Fang Yuan also entered the door.
"Master, you asked me to check on connecting heaven Gu daily, I was very obedient and did as you said. That Lang Ya Old Immortal really appeared again and bought lots of materials in treasure yellow heaven." Little Hu Immortal was very happy upon seeing Fang Yuan, hugging his leg as she used her face to rub it, talking about the things that happened while Fang Yuan was gone.
"Oh? Is that so, what did he buy?" Fang Yuan heard this and was energized, quickly asking.
Little Hu Immortal took out a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked and browsed through it, these Gu worms and materials were very familiar, they were used to refine second aperture Gu.
What did this mean?
Lang Ya Old Immortal was Lang Ya land spirit. He was going to refine second aperture Gu, thus, he definitely survived the second wave of attacks and had the urge to refine second aperture Gu.
At the same time, that divine travel Gu was definitely in his hands.
Otherwise, why would he purchase ingredients so urgently right after the second wave of attacks?
"Lang Ya land spirit was plotted against by Old Man Yan Shi, he should be defending Lang Ya blessed land now. Although this land spirit is intelligent, he is rigid, and does not possess the ability to scheme. What am I waiting for?"
Fang Yuan thought of this and his heart was palpitating!
He immediately left Hu Immortal blessed land, returning to northern plains' crescent lake.
Next, he led the wolf group as he charged to that stone forest without rest. Using Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's entry point again, he entered Lang Ya blessed land.
There were many new changes to Lang Ya blessed land, the twelve cloud buildings were attacked, there were much rubble and broken structures, scars from burning flames, lighting strikes, or results of frost.
These were traces of a huge battle.
Especially outside the buildings, on the pure white cloud soil, they were tainted with blood traces, a deer-like desolate beast with the size of a mountain was lying on the cloud soil, dead.
Even though it lost its life, the skin was still shiny and smooth, glowing with a rainbow-like luster, it gave off a holy feeling.
"Why are you here?" Lang Ya land spirit welcomed Fang Yuan grumpily.
"What happened?" Fang Yuan did not answer him, instead he asked and expressed his shock.
"Hmph, a bunch of daring scoundrels, they set their claws on this blessed land, they have all been killed!" Lang Ya land spirit's expression was grim as his killing intent surged.
Fang Yuan curiously looked at the land spirit: "Isn't Lang Ya blessed land very secretive, how did they get in? Unless you opened the doors yourself…"
"Get lost! Am I so stupid?" The land spirit howled: "These goddamn scoundrels plotted against me, they did something to the stuff I bought. I originally bought divine travel Gu to refine second aperture Gu, but during the refinement process, a passage formed and these little rats came in."
The land spirit called them rats, but as Fang Yuan looked at the state of the twelve cloud buildings, he could guess the intensity of the battle.
But Lang Ya blessed land was after all, Long Hair Ancestor's old home. As the 'Number One Refinement Immortal of all time', someone who was on equal status with two venerables, he definitely had deep foundations and many trump cards.
The second wave of attacks could not take down this deep foundation so easily. At least, Fang Yuan knew there were twelve desolate beasts in Lang Ya blessed land, now only one had died.
However, Old Man Yan Shi was still alive. The second wave of attacks was not the last, but the beginning. The show has just begun.
Fang Yuan laughed: "I guessed right, you are that Lang Ya Old Immortal, you bought divine travel Gu in treasure yellow heaven. It seems you managed to protect divine travel Gu."
Lang Ya land spirit laughed smugly: "Of course! Otherwise, that nine color spirit deer would not have died."
Suddenly, his expression changed, as he thought of something, staring vigilantly at Fang Yuan: "Why are you here lad?"
Fang Yuan bowed to the land spirit, replying as a matter of fact: "What else? I am obviously here to ask you to refine the second aperture Gu for me."
"What?!" Land spirit shouted, staring at Fang Yuan furiously, his eyes about to spew fire.
Long Hair Ancestor had failed to refine an important Immortal Gu for Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable back then, thus he made a promise to refine nine Gu worms for him without any costs, regardless of mortal or Immortal Gu.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable used six chances to receive six Immortal Gu. With three chances left, he sealed it into his inheritances to leave it to a fated person.
In Fang Yuan's previous life, this chance was taken by Ma Hong Yun. But now, Fang Yuan came here earlier and snatched this immortal opportunity.
Earlier, he had used one of the chances to ask Lang Ya land spirit to refine stargate Gu. Now that he was here again, he was going to use the second chance to refine second aperture Gu.
Lang Ya land spirit was formed from Long Hair Ancestor's obsessions, he could not reject such a request.
But in order to protect divine travel Gu, he had paid a huge choice. Seeing that the second aperture Gu was about to be successfully refined, the result was that Fang Yuan came to take it from him.
Lang Ya land spirit was furious as he stared angrily, using a grim tone to ask Fang Yuan: "Don't tell me you are the mastermind who planned the attack on my blessed land?"
Fang Yuan rubbed his nose, saying innocently: "Do you think that I, a mortal, could mobilize those Gu Immortals? I only knew you had the second aperture Gu's recipe after you bought divine travel Gu, and now that you bought a second set of materials, I came over."
Lang Ya blessed land gritted his teeth angrily, pointing at Fang Yuan: "You humans are all devious and scheming. I killed those Gu Immortal, but to think that it was all for naught, I still ended up being scammed by you, this little lad!"
Fang Yuan laughed heartily: "This is not a scam, but a promise that you gave Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable back then. So, are you going to refine the second aperture Gu for me now?"
Land spirit was angry and wanted to chop Fang Yuan into a million pieces, but he had no choice but to refine the Gu for him.

Chapter 486: Two Immortal Gu obtained!
"I want to see you refine the Gu personally." Fang Yuan had a thought as he asked the question to probe the land spirit.
The refinement process of Gu Masters were secretive. If someone saw them, the recipe might leak out or even expose the Gu Master's unique methods.
"Of course, this was one of the agreements." Lang Ya land spirit agreed immediately, out of Fang Yuan's expectations.
Fang Yuan raised his brows, having a slight understanding.
Back then, when Long Hair Ancestor failed in refining space escape Gu, he wasted all of the materials that Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable had collected for his entire life. Among them, many Gu materials were extremely rare and Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable only managed to get them out of pure luck.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable was a rank nine Demon Venerable, to repay his losses, as well as saving his reputation, Long Hair Ancestor agreed to refine Gu for him.
Allowing Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable to view the entire refinement process, was not only to expose the recipe to pay back the Demon Venerable, it also proved his innocence — you saw the whole process. If the refinement fails, it has nothing to do with me!
But now right, there were no such concerns left.
Land spirits were formed from the blessed land's heavenly power, the obsessions of the Gu Immortals before death. They did not have vile thoughts, they were candid and straightforward.
However, Lang Ya land spirit was formed from the number one refinement immortal, Long Hair Ancestor, even though he lost most of his memories, he retained most of Long Hair Ancestor's refinement talent and attainments.
Observing the land spirit refining Gu was a huge benefit to Fang Yuan.
"I had refined second aperture Gu before. This time, I will observe the land spirit's techniques and gain some experience to improve myself. Maybe, I would get to see a trace of Long Hair Ancestor's glamor back in ancient times." Fang Yuan was looking forward to this Gu refinement.
Lang Ya land spirit waved his hand and teleported him to a huge hall.
This hall was really big, the diameter of it was at least ten li. There were all sorts of equipment, there were green copper cauldrons, red steel furnaces, rainbow water tanks, and even cave houses.
When Gu Masters refine Gu, they need the help of their equipment as well.
The equipment in this hall was like a comprehensive exhibition, it was a huge eye-opener to Fang Yuan.
Although he had five hundred years of experience due to rebirth, he spent about three hundred years wandering and fighting his way up to the top, he only managed to hold his own and freely roam the world to achieve his grand aspirations in his last two hundred years.
During that period, although he explored many other Gu paths, he had to resist the earthly calamities as well as manage his forces, all while gathering his Immortal Gu refinement materials, he was very busy and overwhelmed. Although his foundation in refinement path could surpass the mortal realm, among Gu Immortals, he was only second or third-rate. There was no comparison to a legend like Long Hair Ancestor.
"This is my Earth-grade Room C Gu refinement hall." Lang Ya land spirit introduced, as Fang Yuan's expression changed upon hearing it.
The land spirit would not lie, such a grand hall was only one of the many Gu refinement halls in Lang Ya blessed land.
Earth-grade Room C … how many of such halls did this blessed land have?
At this moment, the land spirit waved.
At an instant, a few thousand hairy men appeared in the hall.
These hairy men were teleported over with a stunned expression, but they soon kneeled on the ground, shouting: "The hairy men greets Lang Ya Old Immortal!"
They spoke at the same time, as their voices echoed in the hall.
Lang Ya land spirit's face showed some affection as he said: "Children, you may get up."
He then waved his hand, and sent the Gu refinement materials over to them: "Today, we are refining an Immortal Gu, use the Gu recipe that I gave you to do it."
The hairy men were obviously experienced in such matters.
Upon hearing that they were refining an Immortal Gu, the hairy men were stirred as they showed an excited expression.
But immediately after, they calmed down and started researching the recipe in their hands before starting the Gu refinement.
Several thousand hairy men refining Gu at once, this was not the first time Fang Yuan had seen this.
Among the variant men, hairy men were most skilled at refining Gu, they were born with the talent for it. According to the records in , back in the immemorial era, the hairy men started to refine Gu, even tying up Ren Zu's first son Verdant Great Sun, attempting to use him to refine eternal Gu.
Hairy men refine Gu using their talent and inspiration, they worked casually and did not have the trace of toolwork left by human Gu Masters.
At Gu Immortal stage, having already surpassed mortals, to aid them in refining Gu, they would raise a number of hairy men. In Fang Yuan's previous life, he had kept some of them in his blessed land as well.
But that was blood sea blessed land, the environment was harsh and many batches of hairy men died, causing his interest in raising them to disappear.
After Fang Yuan became a Gu Immortal, he had gathered a large number of hairy men to refine Gu in bulk for his demonic sect.
Precisely because of his own experiences, he could tell that the hairy men here were not ordinary.
These hairy men were simply too well raised.
Look at their hair and skin, they were clear and shiny, their eyes has spirit and their faces were energetic, it showed that they lived in a good environment and had never been tortured by Lang Ya land spirit.
Most importantly, these hairy men were very agile and moved quickly, each of them were great experts in Gu refinement.
During the Gu refinement process, a few old hairy men even gave their suggestions to tweak the recipe!
Looking at their casual movements, Fang Yuan's heart was pounding.
Such a group of hairy men, if they were sold in treasure yellow heaven, they would be the elite of elite slaves. There would be at least 21 meters of treasure light, those Gu Immortals would fight for them.
These hairy men had shocking attainments, most of them were refinement masters. Several of the old hairy men who could suggest the tweaking of the recipe were already refinement grandmasters!
Right now, Fang Yuan was still barely a refinement master.
With such skilled subordinates, the refinement process was faster than Fang Yuan's refinement on San Cha mountain by more than ten times.
These hairy men made the half-done product and handed it over to the old hairy men for inspection before giving it to Lang Ya land spirit.
Lang Ya land spirit quickly collected the half-done products, and after checking them, destroyed a few pieces and made the hairy men refine them again.
After several tries, Lang Ya land spirit was finally satisfied and started doing it himself, easily getting the half-done product of second aperture Gu.
This was the same as the half-done version that Fang Yuan had right now.
But Fang Yuan knew that the one in Lang Ya land spirit's hands was way higher in quality.
Eventually, Lang Ya land spirit took out divine travel Gu.
This divine travel Gu's surface was damaged, it was filled with injuries and Fang Yuan's heart jumped upon seeing that.
"Lad, it is still not too late to change your mind." Lang Ya land spirit stopped his actions, urging Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan frowned, after thinking through it, he laughed: "No, please continue."
"Scheming fellow, I couldn't hide it from you!" Lang Ya land spirit cursed, pinching his nose as he teleported several Gu worms over along with some precious materials.
Fang Yuan stared with wide opened eyes, he only recognised two of them, they were precious items that increased the chances of success in Gu refinement. If they were placed in treasure yellow heaven, the treasure light would hit 18 meters!
Lang Ya land spirit's every movement attracted countless gazes.
The hairy men were watching in awe as their bodies shivered, their eyes were full of extreme reverence.
Fang Yuan watched with great anticipation, when Lang Ya land spirit refined the Gu, it moved as smooth as water, there were no unnecessary movements or any atmosphere of panic.
Lang Ya land spirit displayed exemplary control, Fang Yuan gained a lot of insights.
Although he wanted to continue watching like this, Fang Yuan bit his lips and forced himself to snap out of it, starting to execute his plan.
He sat down cross-legged, and took out two Gu that he had prepared prior to this.
One was clear mind Gu, the other was awaken cloud Gu.
These two Gu were rank four, after Fang Yuan injected primeval essence into them, they started working.
Clear mind Gu turned into a breeze, entering his brain. The cotton-like awaken cloud Gu turned into a small white cloud and floated about Fang Yuan's head.
Fang Yuan stared at the light lump that Lang Ya land spirit was manipulating while bringing out four top quality wines.
With connecting heaven Gu to enter treasure yellow heaven, it was easy for him to gather top quality wines. For this moment, he prepared at least fourteen different wines.
Sensing Fang Yuan's movement, Lang Ya land spirit snorted in displeasure, but did not do anything to him.
Fang Yuan sighed inwardly in relief, ignoring the piercing light that made his tears flow, he stared at the light lump intently.
Finally, he saw divine travel Gu turn into flowing water as it mixed with the other materials.
Fang Yuan quickly took out the wine vats and gulped the liquor.
At the same time, an intense feeling of tipsiness assaulted him.
Fang Yuan quickly activated clear mind Gu, forcing himself awake as clarity was restored in his mind. At the same time, awaken cloud Gu rumbled and ensured that his mind was at its peak condition.
After drinking four wines, Fang Yuan was still clear-headed, but he realized that nothing had happened yet.
The light was still transforming, it had expanded by many times already since the start, it was larger than an elephant.
"It seems that divine travel Gu has not disappeared yet, Immortal Gu are unique, I have to continue drinking." Fang Yuan took out another vat and unsealed it, gulping the content.
The light lump shrunk, as Lang Ya land spirit's expression became more serious as it held the light lump.
A moment later, after Fang Yuan drank the eighth wine, his vision was already turning blurry.
At this moment, in Lang Ya land spirit's hand, the light lump expanded and shrunk in intervals, after three to five times, it settled, becoming second aperture Gu!
The moment second aperture Gu was formed, Fang Yuan's body shuddered as all the drunkenness in his body gathered like the merging of rivers into the sea, condensing into one point.
Out of nowhere, a divine opportunity descended as the Dao mark formed, causing this point to explode into one Gu — divine travel Gu!
Second aperture Gu.
Divine travel Gu.
Two Immortal Gu obtained at the same time!
Fang Yuan became completely sober as he stood up excitedly, laughing heartily.
"A truly profound scheme!" Lang Ya land spirit looked at Fang Yuan with an expression of fatigue, its body was also turning hollow and weak.
Fang Yuan was the person who obtained Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable's inheritance, although Lang Ya land spirit wanted divine travel Gu, it could not attack Fang Yuan.
The hairy men stared at Fang Yuan with furious, disdainful eyes.
This vile human dared to plot against our beloved and supreme lord Lang Ya Old Immortal!
Fang Yuan paid these hairy men no heed, he stopped his laughter as he bowed to Lang Ya land spirit: "It was just a petty scheme, it is nowhere near graceful. Today, I had a true eye-opener, and had benefited a lot, I am shameful of my actions, but I am respectful towards you, I am willing to become your disciple."

Chapter 487: Immortal Gu Transaction
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"Screw off! If accept you as my disciple, I reckon one day I will die from anger. My children are the best, giving me no worries. Now get lost, I don't want to see you." Lang Ya land spirit kept on waving his hand, refusing Fang Yuan's request to be his disciple without hesitation.
He could have obtained the second aperture Gu, but Fang Yuan plotted against him and made him offer the successfully refined second aperture Gu readily along with losing the divine travel Gu.
Fang Yuan chuckled, not minding the land spirit's refusal.
Land spirits were formed from the obsessions of the Gu Immortals; they were simple and biased, their refusal now meant they would still refuse in the future.
"Such a pity, I originally intended to give divine travel Gu to you as our apprenticeship gift."
"Hmph, the people I don't like the most are crafty people like you. The hairy men are still the best! I will tell you the truth, I have already taken eighteen hairy men as my disciples. In the future as well, I will only take hairymen as my disciples!"
"Alright, give me the second aperture Gu." Fang Yuan stretched out his hand.
Lang Ya land spirit's expression turned sluggish and glanced at the Immortal Gu on his hand with reluctance. This was the Gu he wanted to refine and now he had succeeded, but he had to give it up without even getting cozy with it.
But the agreement back then had formed a type of will that became a part of the land spirit. He was unable to violate it, and also did not intend to violate it.
"Kid, I will remember you!" Lang Ya land spirit growled and stuffed the second aperture Gu in Fang Yuan's hand.
This second aperture Gu looked like a beetle with two sharp ends and a fat middle body.
The beetle was the size of a young man's fist. It was like blue jade, and felt soft and cool to the touch.
There was a golden eye on its plump back. The golden eye flashed with lightning and had ample spirituality.
"This is the Gu I took the risks for at San Cha mountain and wanted to refine by all means. I hadn't expected I would obtain this in this way." Fang Yuan sighed, but did not use it hurriedly and stored it in his pouch first.
Under the cooperation of Lang Ya land spirit, this second aperture Gu was already Fang Yuan's object, but he was still not a Gu Immortal and did not have green grape immortal essence, so he could not activate it now.
"You already have the Immortal Gu, you can leave now if you don't want to use your final chance." Lang Ya land spirit wanted to make him leave.
Fang Yuan, however, took out divine travel Gu and waved it in front of Lang Ya land spirit with a smile: "You don't want this Immortal Gu?"
Lang Ya land spirit's brows raised: "What, you want to sell it?"
He had connecting heaven Gu and could connect to treasure yellow heaven to buy all kinds of Gu refinement materials. Even the human apertures required to refine second aperture Gu could be obtained by buying enslaved Gu Masters and killing them.
Second aperture gu was an expendable Gu; it would disappear after Fang Yuan used it.
Lang Ya land spirit could completely refine another. Of course, the precondition was that he needed to have divine travel Gu. Without divine travel Gu, he would never be able to refine second aperture Gu.
Fang Yuan, however, did not directly answer and instead asked: "Tell me, if I use another second aperture Gu, can I have a third aperture?"
"Hmph, keep on dreaming." Lang Ya land spirit immediately scoffed, "This is the second aperture Gu, not the third aperture Gu. You want to form a third aperture? Then go refine the recipe for third aperture gu!"
Fang Yuan nodded and said sincerely: "I also thought so."
The land spirit would not deceive him just because it wanted the divine travel Gu. At the same time, he also knew second aperture Gu's recipe, so he had already deduced this.
He asked this just to confirm it.
With this, the divine travel Gu and the semi-finished second aperture Gu with Fang Yuan had lost their use.
Fang Yuan already possessed a second aperture Gu; he was a lone force and did not have any trusted aide to support, so he did not need another second aperture Gu.
Moreover, when he observed the land spirit's Gu refinement process just before, he knew the final step was extremely dangerous! The light ball's inflation and contractions required extremely strong control which required at least thousand man soul to maintain.
How could Immortal Gu be so easy to refine? Fortunately, back at San Cha mountain, Fang Yuan did not set his heart in refining the second aperture Gu after rebirth. Otherwise, with his strength back then, he would absolutely have had a terrible ending. Just the backlash could put him on the brink of death.
Of course, he could also sell them at treasure yellow heaven.
But if he did so, he would attract Old Man Yan Shi's attention and expose many of his trump cards. At the same time, the things he got might be tampered with by other Gu Immortals.
Transacting with Lang Ya land spirit was different.
At least, the land spirit would not give him shoddy goods, and also had robust financial resources, so he could buy divine travel Gu to refine Gu.
Last but not least, Fang Yuan could also avoid revealing himself, thus it was very secure.
"Land spirit, take a look at what this is." Fang Yuan thought for a while before directly taking out the semi-finished second aperture Gu that he had personally refined.
This semi-finished product had a vague appearance like a semi-finished pottery, with no hints of life.
It was like a piece of grey stone that was carved into a beetle. Its big belly looked elegant with sharp head and tail, but no antennas or legs.
Although its appearance was similar to the real second aperture Gu, they clearly could not be compared because of qualitative difference.
Lang Ya land spirit's eyes could not help but brighten when he saw this semi-finished product: "To think you had actually reached such a stage. But the most difficult step in refining second aperture Gu is the final step. The steps before it, can be refined by the refinement path Gu Masters at master level."
The land spirit's tone carried a trace of joy.
Fang Yuan had divine travel Gu and also the semi-finished product. If he could get them both, then only the final step would be remaining to refine second aperture Gu.
To Lang Ya land spirit, this temptation was hard to resist."Speak, what do you want?" Lang Ya land spirit removed his burning gaze and looked at Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan looked at the divine travel Gu on his right hand and immediately said: "Immortal Gu are priceless, so of course I want to exchange it with another Immortal Gu. This is the old rule in transacting Immortal Gu."
Lang Ya land spirit's expression immediately fell: "Although it is the old rule, it is not suitable for our situation. First of all, divine travel Gu is not practical and can only be used as an escape means as a last resort. In case it teleported the Gu Master to the depths of a volcano or to the depths of the earth, it would simply be finding one's doom. Secondly, I will be using divine travel Gu to refine Gu. But what use can second aperture Gu be for a land spirit like me?"
Fang Yuan was happy; the land spirit's gaze was fixed on the divine travel Gu when he was haggling over the price. Although he sounded unyielding, his expression betrayed his thoughts.
"Land spirit, you are too stingy. I know Lang Ya blessed land has many Immortal Gu. Divine travel Gu is a rank six Immortal Gu, I won't be greedy and only want to exchange it for a rank six Immortal Gu."
The land spirit shook his head repeatedly and said many things, but Fang Yuan did not loosen up. The land spirit gradually felt anxious and fury filled his expression. He looked like he wanted to eat Fang Yuan alive.
When Fang Yuan saw that the time was right he said: "Let's do this then, I shall take a step back and exchange for one of your expendable type rank six Immortal Gu. When I have used this Immortal Gu, you can then refine it again, right?"
The land spirit's expressions relaxed; Fang Yuan taking the step back first gave him a satisfying feeling of victory.
He snorted few times and raised his head, looking arrogantly at Fang Yuan: "Alright, we shall do it like that."
He then spread out his hands and brought five Immortal Gu out of nowhere.
"Lang Ya blessed land's foundation is really strong." Fang Yuan sighed inwardly – he was suddenly stupefied when he looked at them.
"I want this Immortal Gu." Fang Yuan's expression was slightly strange as he pointed to one Immortal Gu among them.
This Immortal Gu was none other than Immortal Gu Gruel Mud, the perpetrator in causing Dang Hun mountain to slowly die. He had not thought Lang Ya land spirit would refine it.
The two sides quickly completed the transaction. Fang Yuan obtained the Immortal Gu Gruel Mud; he did not put it in his aperture, but stored it in his pouch for the moment.
"I used all my mental and physical efforts for this semi-finished product, you will be saving great expenses by getting it. We are both familiar with each other now, I will sell it to you cheap; I only need one thousand hairy men. I won't be greedy, you can give me those old hairy men that refined the Gu just before as well."
"Bullshit!" The land spirit was fuming with anger, "You think I am a three year old kid? Those hairy men are at least of master level in Gu refinement, the treasure light if they are put in treasure yellow heaven will be at least seventy feet high!"
Fang Yuan snickered, he really coveted these hairy men. These hairy men would be of enormous help to him.
"Alright, I don't want a thousand, eight hundred will do."
"Bullshit eight hundred, all these hairy men are my children, I won't sell a single one!" Lang Ya land spirit roared in anger.
"All things have a price. We can still discuss!"
"Not for sale means not for sale! If you mention this again, you can take your semi-finished product with you, I am not buying it."
Fang Yuan was inwardly shocked at Lang Ya land spirit's firm attitude. He had dropped down the price to the bottom and Lang Ya land spirit would clearly have profited, but he still did not agree to sell the hairy men. It seems he really had emotional attachments to the hairymen.
This situation was not strange.
Many Gu Immortals raised variant humans in their blessed land like raising pets. They would see their growth and even expend many efforts in raising them. And when they died, the Gu Immortals would also shed tears because of heartache.
Of course, this situation would never happen to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan felt a pity at not being able to buy these hairy men, so he changed his request: "Since it is so, then I want to exchange for wolf enslavement Gu's recipes."
There were large numbers of recipes in Lang Ya blessed land. After gathering them from ancient times until now, one could even say they were as vast as the sea.
It was impossible for it to not have common recipes like that of wolf enslavement Gu.
Fang Yuan had been wanting to purchase these recipes all along, but ever since he discovered the existence of Old Man Yan Shi, he had been restraining his actions in yellow treasure heaven.
Wisdom path Gu Masters were experts at deductions, but deductions need a foundation and require large amounts of information. With these information as the base, they could then deduce and predict the outcome.
If Fang Yuan wantonly bought wolf enslavement Gu recipes from yellow treasure heaven, it was hard to guarantee that Old Man Yan Shi would not be be able to deduce something.
"Take them. These are the recipes for rank one to rank five wolf enslavement Gu." Lang Ya land spirit handed a large stack of recipes to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan skimmed over them and saw that there were eight types of recipes just for the rank five wolf enslavement Gu recipe. They used different materials and different procedures to obtain the similar Gu worm. And there were even more types of rank one to rank four wolf enslavement Gu recipes.
"This transaction is worth it!" Fang Yuan was inwardly happy.
"Transaction is finished, you can leave now." Lang Ya land spirit impatiently waved his hand.
Fang Yuan, however, smiled: "No hurry, no hurry, I still have a transaction you will definitely be interested in."
"Hmph, young man, don't talk big. There are not many things that can interest this old man in this world." Lang Ya land spirit stroked his beard and said with pride.
"What I am transacting this time is information. This information is about the time I will use the second aperture Gu."
Lang Ya land spirit's expression turned sluggish and looked dazedly at Fang Yuan, his brows deeply furrowed and looked at Fang Yuan with intense disdain and hatred: "You, how can you be so despicable and shameless!? Aren't there any limits to the degradation of your morals?!"
"Hahaha." Fang Yuan laughed loudly, "Could it be you are not interested in this information?"
Lang Ya land spirit immediately felt like he had been raped and he still had to bear the humiliation to apologize to the criminal.
Could he not be interested?
The second aperture Gu was an Immortal Gu and Immortal Gu were unique. If Fang Yuan never used it, then he would forever be unable to refine another second aperture Gu.
"How do you want to sell it?" The land spirit endured the impulse to beat up Fang Yuan and asked, swallowing his anger.
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, sharp rays of light flickering in them: "I won't take advantage of you, so I want to exchange information for information. I want to know all the information about the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building in Imperial Court blessed land."
"Eighty-Eight True Yang Building? You actually know that this Immortal Gu house has something to do with me!?" The land spirit was shocked.

Chapter 488: Ma Ying Jie
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Thud Thud Thud…..
A series of hurried sounds came from afar.
Soon, a group of Gu Masters riding terror claw horses came to the swamp.
Terror claw horses had bloodshot eyes with fangs and were carnivorous.
They did not have any hair on its body. The skin was tight and their muscles were clearly visible, giving a feeling of strength that could not be underestimated. The most peculiar point was that they did not have horse hooves, but instead had four long sharp claws.
There were also webbings connecting the claws, so terror claw horse were not only suitable for climbing but could also move freely at swamps.
"Lord elders, they have passed through here towards that direction." An investigative Gu Master's eyes flickered with red light as he scanned all around and reported.
A young Gu Master at the side immediately frowned and anxiously said: "Not good, uncle! If we continue along this way, we will reach rocks pool over there. Once they cross rocks pool, they will be out of warm pond valley. It will be difficult to kill them then."
"Relax, Fei Qing has been struck by your dad's poison Gu and is in imminent crisis, moreover he is bringing his child with him. The further he moves with his ghost cloud, the more the poison will worsen. Hehe, he won't be able to run far. Let's continue our chase!"
The elders laughed and waved their hand, continuing the chase.
After they chased into the sparse woods, the swamp they had been standing at suddenly surged and a yellowish silkworm drilled out.
The silkworm was broken from the inside and two people walked out; a middle-aged Gu Master and a child.
The two looked in a very miserable state and gasped for breath as they dropped to the ground.
"We finally deceived them." The middle aged Gu Master, Fei Qing, had a purple hue all over his face; the poison had spread deep.
His movement Gu — the swift ghost cloud Gu, had been tampered with. Fei Qing had been feeling something wrong when they were chased all the way, thus he immediately gave up the swift ghost cloud Gu and let it fly away. After that, he took his son and hid within the swamp.
But with this, he lost his movement ability and his body was also poisoned; there was no longer any hope to escape.
"Fei Chang you despicable person! For the clan leader position, you actually secretly poisoned me, your own cousin! Damn it you abomination…."
Fei Qing got more angry the more he thought about it; under this desperation and with fury filling his heart, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of green blood.
"Father, father! Are you okay? You need to hang on." The child started weeping when he saw the blood and threw himself into Fei Qing's chest.
"Son…" Fei Qing's despairing eyes showed a trace of hope and resolution.
He lovingly looked at his only heir and rubbed the small head: "Little Cai, father can't go on. Fei Chang has plotted deeply, I can only deceive him this one time. Not long later, he will definitely find something wrong and return back. Leave quickly, father will hold off these people for you. Go along that small path I told you of, and perhaps you can survive on."
"No, father, I want to leave with you. Let's run together… father, I beg you…" The son, Fei Cai, weeped in grief.
Fei Qing was feeling very anxious, so he roused his spirits and grabbed Fei Cai's shoulders: "Little Cai, don't cry. Northern Plains men can shed blood but not tears. You need to have confidence, in your body flows Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's bloodline, you are a member of the Huang Jin family. The bloodline in you is thick and rarely seen. You have the qualifications to enter Eighty-Eighth True Yang Building."
" Cough, cough …." Green blood continued to seep out from Fei Qing's mouth and nose, "Little Cai, take care of yourself. If you have a chance in the future to enter Imperial Court blessed land, go to Eighty-Eighth True Yang Building and obtain the grace Ancestor Giant Sun left behind for the later generations. Only then can you avenge me!"
"Father…."
"Leave, it will be too late if you delay any longer!"
Fei Qing pushed his son; Fei Cai took back several steps, helplessly looking at his father with tears filled face.
"Leave quickly!" Fei Qing growled.
Fei Cai wiped away his tears before tears immediately fell down. He fiercely gnashed his teeth, turned around and ran.
"Son, father has done his best, as long as you can escape the evil clutches…" Fei Qing sat on the ground and looked at Fei Cai's receding figure; but soon his eyes gradually widened.
"Fool, stop!" Fei Qing could not help straightening up his upper body and shouting at his son.
"Fa… father…" Fei Cai had only run a few steps before he heard Fei Qing's shout; he gazed back with doubt.
Veins popped out of Fei Qing's forehead as he shouted: "You idiot, I told you to run towards north-west direction. Why are you running towards south-east? Are you thinking of going back to the tribe camp to look for your own death?!"
"Ah, ah!" Fei Cai quickly changed direction.
But Fei Qing soon shouted again: "You dunce, that is south-west direction!"
Fei Cai quickly changed direction again, moving towards the correct path, and only then did Fei Qing let out a breath of turbid air.
"Sigh…." The middle aged Gu Master helplessly sighed. His son had thick bloodline, but was somewhat of an idiot and moreover had a really poor sense of direction. Could he truly escape to see the day?
Thinking of Fei Chang's deep conspiracy, Fei Qing did not have big hope, but he had done what he could do, now it all depended on the heavens.
After a while, like Fei Qing expected, Fei Chang returned with a gloomy face, leading three Gu Masters on their terror claw horse.
"Fei Qing, hmph, you were sure enough hiding here!" Fei Chang's voice was gloomy and hoarse; his gaze as sharp as a knife, not concealing the dense killing intent within.
"To think I would die by a vile character like you." Fei Qing scoffed with disdain; right now, his body was already paralyzed and could not budge.
Fei Chang snickered coldly, and said with an expression like that of a cat playing with a mouse: "I won't kill you so quickly. Fei Qing, Aren't you noble and aloof? Wait till I capture your son, I will let you witness your son being tortured and killed. Hehehe…"
Fei Qing couldn't keep his calm anymore and stared furiously: "Fei Chang, you are his senior, to think you actually can be so vicious!"
"Hmph, when you cut grass, if you don't root it out, then it can grow again when the spring wind arrives. Men, bring Fei Qing to me." Fei Chang ordered; the Gu Masters beside him immediately moved and bound Fei Qing tightly, then using a hemp rope, they dragged him on the ground.
"Hehehe, Fei Qing, get a good taste of the mud. Chase, we must find that kid and kill him!" Fei Chang laughed loudly, full of satisfaction.
Fei Chang was thinking: Since Fei Qing was caught, catching that stupid kid would be an easy matter.
But reality was different.
Fei Chang came to the rocks pool, but he did not find anyone besides his men.
"F*ck, this kid didn't run towards here? Speak, where did he go?" Fei Chang asked in a chilly voice.
Fei Qing had been dragged all the way, his body was badly battered and had already lost his consciousness.
Fei Chang kicked him awake, but he only got Fei Qing's ridiculing gaze.
Fei Chang laughed sinisterly: "You think I won't know if you don't speak?"
Saying so, his eyes let out a weird light that shone on Fei Qing's body. Fei Qing's body shuddered, his soul immediately receiving heavy injuries.
Soul search Gu!
Fei Chang stretched out his bony right hand and grabbed Fei Qing's head before closing his eyes and agitating his primeval essence.
Fei Qing's body shuddered and started foaming. The two Gu Masters at the sight kept quiet in fear.
In an instant, Fei Chang opened his eyes; his face had paled and his gaze was blurred.
This rank three soul search Gu could search a portion of the memories stored in the soul. But it had a lot of restrictions; first the memories it obtained would be very disordered and secondly it could not be frequently used, otherwise it could confuse the soul and make one have blurred consciousness; thus could be extremely harmful to oneself.
Fei Chang had grievances with Fei Qing for a long time and also knew Fei Cai had a thick bloodline; he could only be at ease when he personally killed the kid. Thus, he did not stint on using soul search Gu.
"So there was a hidden path nearby. Hmph!" Fei Chang smiled proudly; he was fortunately able to search the memories he wanted.
He turned around his horse and immediately moved towards that hidden path.
But when they arrived at this place, he could not find any traces of a person.
"How can this be? That kid is still not of age and has not opened his aperture yet, is only a mortal. It is impossible for him to hide from my investigative Gu. Could it be the memories I plundered is only a part of the crucial point?" Fei Chang scouted once more and saw the narrow road in the bushes; his face became very cloudy.
Wooo Woooo….
Right at this time, a deep and powerful bugle horn sounded from outside the warm pond valley.
Fei Chang and the rest immediately paled.
"Lord elders, lord elders, please go back to reinforce the troops! Ma tribe has brought a huge army, starting a war without any notice. The tribe is already is a state of emergency!" A Gu Master hurried over on a flying bird with the information.
"What?!" Fei Chang was extremely surprised, just as the Fei tribe's internal disorder had started, Ma tribe came to invade, this timing was too coincidental!
'If there is no Fei tribe, then what meaning would there be in taking the Fei tribe's tribe leader position? Defend, defend to death, we must defend! Warm pond valley is easy to defend and hard to attack, Ma tribe's army retreat isn't impossible. Right, I still have hope!' Thinking of this, Fei Chang immediately threw Fei Cai off his mind, then hurriedly rushed to the tribe camp.
However, Ma tribe's invasion had been planned in advance. They took advantage of Fei tribe's internal disorder and ambushed.
Fei tribe might have the advantage of occupying warm pond valley, but they finally could not resist Ma tribe's strong and huge wave of soldiers.
Right as Fang Yuan entered Lang Ya blessed land, a great event occured in Northern Plains –
A large scale force of the Huang Jin family — Fei tribe that were occupying warm pond valley was exterminated!
No doubt this news would create a huge influence in the whole Northern Plains.
On a slope, Ma tribe's higher-ups were observing the ruined Fei tribe camp from their war horses.
These people were circling around a young man, like the stars surrounding the moon.
Seeing batch after batch of goods being stored in the carts and groups of captives being escorted away, Ma tribe's higher ups had a joyous expression.
One rank three Gu Master elder cupped his fists towards the young man in the center: "Congratulations to young master! It was all because of young master's plan to drive a discord and create internal disorder in Fei tribe that we could so easily capture warm pond valley, swallow Fei tribe and establish great merits for the tribe!"
This young man was Ma tribe's young tribe leader Ma Ying Jie.
He had a wide back with thin waist, sharp brows and bright eyes, a heroic spirit and a cultivation of rank four middle stage. He was an enslavement path Gu Master with some fame, also called Little Ma Zun!

Chapter 489: The debate about Chang Shan Yin
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
They won but Ma Ying Jie did not show any arrogance, instead he said: "Warm pond valley is easy to defend and hard to attack, possessing large areas of warm pools. The great blizzard is about to come and this place is a naturally protected place. By obtaining it, my tribe has a base of operations. We can advance while attacking or defend if we retreat!"
"But the thing I am even more happy about is obtaining over two hundred thousand terror claw horses. With these horses, uncle can greatly raise his horse group's scale and increase my Ma tribe's supreme might in the coming heroes assembly!"
His uncle was none other than one of the current three great enslavement masters – Ma Zun!
When Ma Zun was mentioned, all the Ma tribe's Gu Masters showed admiration.
"Before we left, uncle had told me: It was not easy for our Ma tribe to become a large scale tribe. Only after several hundred years of accumulation, efforts and extraordinary fortune, were we able to reach this state. But as the tribe grows, defending this foundation is becoming more difficult. Even by striking warm pond valley, we have only obtained a base to preserve the fire. The only way to preserve the whole tribe is to advance a step further; that is to enter the Imperial Court!"
Ma Ying Jie looked at everyone before continuing: "Imperial Court blessed land is Giant Sun Immortal Venerable's grace left to his descendants. Especially that Eighty Eight True Yang Building, which has the inheritance of the Immortal Venerable! Uncle said my bloodline has already fulfilled the criteria to enter Eighty Eight True Yang Building. If I can obtain Immortal Venerable's inheritance and later become a Gu Immortal, our Ma tribe will become the new super tribe of northern plains!"
"Super tribe…"
This phrase immediately caused the Ma tribesmen to show a spellbound look.
"Young tribe leader, you are a once in a hundred years genius of our tribe. Our tribe's future lies on your shoulders."
"Lord Ma Zun might be taciturn, but he really cares about the tribe in his heart and has a far foresight…."
"Being able to witness everything and fight with young tribe leader is my lifetime's glory!"
"Young tribe leader, lead us to brilliance."
Ma tribe's Gu Masters cheered excitedly.
Ma Ying Jie smiled.
In truth, Ma Zun had never said anything like this, and these words were all his own fabrication.
Borrowing Ma Zun's prestige, Ma Ying Jie added light and color to his name. Just think! Even Ma Zun looked so highly of him, so the others would have to be blind to not support him.
Ma Ying Jie was also not worried that Ma Zun would tear apart this name after he knew of this.
Ma Zun was an eccentric; he spoke extremely few times even as a child, his silence almost made his parents think he was a mute.
Ma Zun loved horses and was jokingly called 'horse maniac' and 'horse fool' by the tribesmen when he was young.
He had a reclusive nature and never married in his life. He only loved horses and would live with them all year round, with not even a slightest bit of interest and concern towards worldly powers and affairs.
Ma Ying Jie's gaze brightened like stars: "All of you are the pillars of my Ma tribe, with many outstanding points that are worth for me, Ma Ying Jie, to learn. I am still young, Ma tribe cannot be supported by me alone. In the future, I hope to rely on everyone's help."
"What is young tribe leader saying!"
"Young lord's words make us blush with shame."
"Over these years, young tribe leader's performance has deeply entered our hearts. We will definitely follow you!"
The group of Ma tribesmen quickly agreed.
Ma Ying Jie continued: "Although uncle Ma Zun has entrusted his hope on me, we still need to look at destiny to obtain the Immortal Venerable's inheritance in Eighty Eight True Yang Building. But even if I can get it, there are many inheritances left all over the Imperial Court blessed land besides the True Yang building. Thus, all the tribes who have had entered the Imperial Court throughout history, had a huge raise in their strength. Every time I think about this, I cannot help feeling excited."
The tribesmen laughed heartily.
"Not just excitement, even my saliva drips out every time I think of it."
"Haha, young tribe leader does not need to have too much pressure. If we lose, we can come back again. Our Ma tribesmen are warriors who will never surrender!"
Imperial Court blessed land was similar to Tian Ti mountain in that Gu Masters often left behind their inheritances.
Northern Plains had a very cruel environment with there being a great blizzard every ten years; the snowy disaster engulfing the entire northern plains. The blizzard would cut through everything like knives. Many inheritances set up in the wild would be destroyed.
Thus, setting up inheritances in Imperial Court blessed land had gradually turned into a tradition of northern plains.
Imperial Court blessed land had many other inheritances besides the Eighty Eight True Yang Building's Immortal Venerable inheritance, waiting for their fated person.
Of course, this fated person had to first enter Imperial Court blessed land to be able to receive the fortuitous destiny.
Being able to evade the blizzard and live safely, along with the inheritances spread everywhere was the reason why the struggle for Imperial Court would cause intense contests between all the tribes of the grassland.
This contest involved the whole northern plains and was of an extremely large scale. Small scale tribes wanted to survive, mid-scale tribes wanted to advance, and large scale tribes wanted to defend their foundation. Not only righteous paths, but even demonic path Gu Masters wanted to enter the blessed land and seize the Gu Master inheritances.
For this struggle, the heroes assembly came into existence and slowly took form till it became a firm tradition of northern plains people.
As the great blizzard approached, all the famous regions of northern plains would hold a heroes assembly at the same time.
"We have annihilated Fei tribe this time, it will bring us great benefits in our progress in Tian Chuan's heroes assembly. As long as we can subjugate Cheng tribe, our Ma tribe will have a strong lead!"
"Right, only by winning the heroes assembly, can we attract more experts and make many tribes attach to us.This is the first step of the great battle of Northern Plains, and also the most important step."
"We are looking to enter Imperial Court blessed land, so we need to survey other regions too. Yu Tian's, Meng Qiu's and Cao Fu's heroes assembly, all need to be observed closely."
Just as Ma tribe's higher ups were passionately discussing, a messenger Gu Master rushed in and delivered the newest intel to Ma Ying Jie.
Ma Ying Jie's face turned gloomy as he read the intel and shortly after, handed this intel to the group beside him.
Everyone read it one after another, letting out small exclamations, gasps or conjectures from time to time.
"Dong Fang tribe has already subjugated Zhao tribe; with this, they are the ruler of Cao Fu's heroes assembly."
"In Meng Qiu region, Nu Er tribe has actually sent Nu Er Tu, their momentum is very terrifying, I am afraid Lui tribe won't be able to hold them off."
"There is also an uproar in Yu Tian's heroes assembly. The Wolf King of before, Chang Shan Yin, actually appeared!"
"This Chang Shan Yin is really fierce, he actually led Ge tribe and challenged three tribes, even defeating Pei Yan Fei!"
"In Yu Tian region, Hei tribe's Hei Lou Lan and Liu tribe's Liu Wen Wu are the elites. Now that the Wolf King has appeared, this will definitely have a big influence. It is very difficult to say what will happen in Yu Tian's heroes assembly."
Soon, everyone's discussion focused on Fang Yuan.
Chang Shan Yin's identity had already spread for many years in northern plains. Now, suddenly, he resurrected and was causing a stir.
Ge tribe was only an ordinary mid-scale tribe, but with Chang Shan Yin's meddling, they were able to forcibly challenge three tribes and even defeat an expert like Pei Yan Fei.
Especially when they made inquiries and found Ge tribe's newly appointed tribe leader was only a rank three young Gu Master, their evaluation of Chang Shan Yin raised by several layers.
"Every ten years, heroes emerge and vie for supremacy with monsters and freaks emerging from every corners. It is only that this time, such a great character jumped out."
"Young tribe leader, if this Wolf King Chang Shan Yin and our tribe's Lord Ma Zun fought, who would win?"
Everyone could not help having some worries.
Ma Ying Jie slightly furrowed his brows.
If it was other path's Gu Masters, it would be alright. But this Chang Shan Yin was an enslavement path Gu Master, an expert in fighting ten thousand with one.
He could change the situation alone with his huge troops!
"You have all read the intel. Enslavement path's Gu Master's strength depends on the scale of their beast group. Chang Shan Yin has reappeared only recently, so the beasts he has are only some ordinary turtleback wolves, night wolves and wind wolves, and also has only three myriad beast kings. One has died and another is heavily injured, how can he compare to my uncle Ma Zun?
Ma Ying Jie coldly snorted and continued to raise the morale: "Uncle Ma Zun has a horse group with three hundred thousand horses. Adding on these terror claw horses, the scale will expand to five hundred thousand! Besides this, he also has a horse emperor, nine myriad beast kings and five mutated horses. Now say yourself, can the Wolf King be mentioned on equal terms with him?"
The surrounding Gu Masters took a sharp breath; shocked and happy.
"I didn't think Lord Ma Zun's strength would be so big!"
"The insignificant Wolf King is like a baby when compared to Lord Ma Zun."
"Five hundred thousand, such huge scale. It is enough to annihilate seven or eight mid-scale tribes."
Ma Ying Jie changed the subject: "But wolf king Chang Shan Yin still cannot be underestimated. My tribe is going to become the master of Imperial Court, we will run into this person sooner or later. More importantly, in case he joins the heroes assembly and attaches himself to a Huang Jin family, he will definitely receive huge assistance. Large number of Gu Masters will help him to subdue wolf groups and urge him forward."
The joy on everyone's faces gradually dimmed down.
This young Gu Master heaved a deep sigh and continued: "We have swallowed Fei tribe, this is only the first step of our journey. Next, we will be facing even more strong opponents. We need to unite together, only then can we defeat them and enter the Imperial Court."
"Yes, young tribe leader is right."
"Young tribe leader is wise and powerful, I am in great admiration!"
"With the leadership of the tribe leader and young tribe leader, our Ma tribe will definitely rule the northern plains!"
Everyone was unconsciously battered by Ma Ying Jie's few words and became even more aligned towards Ma Ying Jie.
This Ma tribe's young tribe leader let out a pleased smile in his heart.
On the surface, he showed a light and confident expression.
"Father, you died such a miserable death…" Right at this time, a tragic cry sounded from the foot of the hill.
This sound attracted the Ma tribesmen's gaze.
Ma Ying Jie looked at the battlefield where corpses strewed the battlefield; a child had thrown himself on a corpse that was filled with scars and cried very grievingly.
"Brat, get lost. You are already my Ma tribe's slave!" An adult man at the side beat up the child and dragged him forcibly.
But this kid struggled with all his might and bit at the adult man's wrist.
The adult man screamed, loosening his hand.
The kid scampered along the way and again threw himself at that corpse, crying bitterly.
"Sigh…" Ma Ying Jie let out a sincere sigh, "This misery and suffering is not what I wish for, but in these troubled times, who can live well by themselves? If you don't die, then I die. Human power is so insignificant. I will do everything I can to protect our tribe to not let the children of my Ma tribe suffer such a fate."
"Young tribe leader is benevolent." The surrounding Gu Masters also sighed.
Ma Ying Jie pointed down: "This kid is a loyal and filial person, but is facing this difficulty because of me. One of you, go stop him and bring him here, he will become my personal servant from now on."
"Yes, lord." His attendants answered.
They did not dissuade it as adopting servants was a tradition in northern plains.
Moreover, what threat can a thirteen year old kid who had not awakened his aperture possess to their lord young tribe leader?
"Kid, get up!" A higher up of Ma tribe stopped the adultman from beating the kid and grabbed the kid's neck.
The kid struggled fiercely: "No, I want to be with my father."
"Kid, your father is already dead. Your luck is good today, my tribe's young leader has noticed you and is taking you in as his personal servant." The Ma tribe's higher up said with a gentle voice.
But the kid did not listen and only kept on crying: "Father, father!"
Suddenly, he stopped and looked sluggishly at his father's corpse.
"Ah! You are not my father, my father's skin is darker than yours and his nose bridge is higher than yours, he also has some white hair…." The kid talked to himself in shock, before furiously kicking the corpse and started crying again, "Father, where are you?"
Dark lines appeared all over every Ma tribesmen's forehead.

Chapter 490: Second Aperture!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
While the chaotic situations converged in Northern Plains, the transaction in Lang Ya blessed land also reached the end.
"You want the information of Eighty Eighth True Yang Building? Hmm…it is not impossible." Lang Ya land spirit muttered before looking at Fang Yuan with a sharp gaze.
Lang Ya land spirit's obsession was related to space escape Gu and Great Dream Immortal Venerable.
Moreover, Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had already passed away and Lang Ya land spirit was also not the Long Hair Ancestor himself, but a different living entity.
"When the Immortal Gu house was refined, only Giant Sun Immortal Venerable was there as the bystander. How could you know such a secret?" Lang Ya land spirit asked.
Fang Yuan smiled.
In his previous life, Ma Hong Yun entered the Eighty Eighth True Yang Building and obtained the inheritance of Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
Later, Ma Hong Yun was defeated and was chased until he mistakenly entered Lang Ya blessed land and obtained the destiny left behind by Demon Venerable stealing heaven. Lang Ya land spirit saw his tracks and while discussing, spoke of this secret.
Ma Hong Yun became a Gu Immortal later on, turning into a cornerstone of the northern plains, a great hero who resisted the invasion of the Central Continent.
In an intense conversation once, he spoke of this secret which then spread out to the world.
Naturally, Fang Yuan would not admit this fact in front of Lang Ya land spirit.
"I have inherited the inheritance of Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable. And have many clues regarding Giant Sun Immortal Venerable as well. The reason I know of this secret is actually is from calculations and deductions," Fang Yuan answered with a slight arrogant smile appearing on his face.
Lang Ya land spirit looked at Fang Yuan's expression and suddenly realized something as he asked: "Are you?"
"Yes, junior has some attainments in wisdom path." Fang Yuan casually lied with an extremely honest expression.
Lang Ya land spirit sighed, the gaze he looked at Fang Yuan carried a complicated expression.
Wisdom path appeared long ago; tracing back its origins, it was created three million years ago in ancient times by an almighty rank nine.
This person was a rarely seen female venerable.
She was called by the world as Star Constellation Immortal Venerable. She controlled heavenly court as the second generation Immortal King.
It was rumored that she had once held wisdom Gu itself and created the wisdom path.
Before her death, she deduced heavenly secrets and made three arrangements for the three millions years after that.
After her death, three Demon Venerables appeared successively in human race, each charging their way to the Heavenly Court but were blocked by these three arrangements in the end.
Being able to calculate the appearance of three venerables, one could see some grandeur of wisdom path from this.
"Kid, you are actually able to deduce to this degree, it seems you have indeed obtained the essence of wisdom path." After learning Fang Yuan was a wisdom path Gu Master, the land spirit's tone unexpectedly became milder.
To this age, there were extremely few true inheritors of wisdom path, but even then no one would have contempt for wisdom path Gu Masters. Wisdom path Gu Masters were good at scheming and deductions, and many of their enemies would not even know how they died.
Moreover, since ancient times, refinement path was closely connected to wisdom path. To comprehend the world and deduce Gu refinement recipes, Gu Masters would need to use many methods of wisdom path. Many Gu refinement masters and grandmasters would request help from wisdom path Gu Masters when they met a bottleneck in creating recipes.
Lang Ya land spirit was disgusted with Fang Yuan's slyness, but when he knew Fang Yuan had extraordinary achievements in wisdom path, his attitude became gentler.
Lang Ya land spirit liked refining Gu, and naturally also liked researching and innovating Gu recipes. In this process, he would naturally encounter many obstacles which would be hard to resolve with just his wisdom.
"Maybe I will have to request his help to deduce recipes in the future?" This thought emerged in Lang Ya land spirit's mind.
As the saying goes: One can be austere if he has no selfish desires.
Since Lang Ya land spirit had some request for Fang Yuan, his attitude naturally turned better.
He summoned a rank four east window Gu and held it.
This gu was a rank four Gu under information path. It was like a ladybug but its carapace was square shaped like a window frame and was especially used to store information.
Lang Ya land spirit poured his thoughts within it and loosened his hand only after a while.
East window Gu opened up its window-like carapace and flew, making a circle in the air before flying towards Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan sent out his thoughts and checked it; his face immediately revealed joy.
"This is the information you wanted. Now, it is your turn." Lang Ya land spirit reminded.
Fang Yuan chuckled: "Since second aperture Gu has formed, I also am somewhat impatient to use such a good thing. I will send you the news before I use it."
"Slow down!" Lang Ya land spirit showed its cleverness, "How would I know till when you are going to delay it? You are a wisdom path Gu Master, you are the top in scheming, are you still thinking of using this to cheat me again? We have not transacted this east window Gu yet, hehe, with my one thought, the east window Gu on your hand will self-destruct."
Fang Yuan frowned: "Could it be you don't trust me?"
Lang Ya land spirit had suspicions all over his face: "Hmph! Just the fact alone that you are the inheritor of Demon Venerable Stealing Heaven, I can't trust you. You are so crafty and also have wisdom path methods; once you exit the blessed land, can I still be able to chase you? In case, you delay and take the chance to extort again, what would I do?"
"Then how about you tell me what should we do?" Fang Yuan impatiently said.
"Of course, now. Use this second aperture Gu right in front of me. Only then can I be at ease." Lang Ya land spirit stroked his grizzled beard, pleased at thinking of such a good idea.
Fang Yuan grinned: "Heh, I am only a mere rank five now, how can I use this Immortal Gu without immortal essence? Wait till I go out of the blessed land and ask for grandpa to help me."
"Your grandfather can help you, but I can't? Don't speak rubbish, lend the second aperture Gu to me, I will personally do it!"
"This…" Fang Yuan tried to make an excuse.
The land spirit saw this and felt that Fang Yuan had really wanted to trick him, thus his attitude became more firm.
Fang Yuan looked like he had no choice and reluctantly let Lang Ya land spirit help.
Lang Ya land spirit received the second aperture Gu and poured immortal essence in it before throwing it to Fang Yuan.
This second aperture Gu turned into a bean-sized green light and flew into Fang Yuan's body.
Fang Yuan's whole body shook intensely.
The bean sized green light first poured into Fang Yuan's navel area.
But in there, it was rejected by Fang Yuan's aperture and could only hop over to the center of Fang Yuan's chest.
Then an explosion sounded like the thunder from the sky.
The bean-sized green light exploded and formed into a new aperture that looked both real and virtual.
Second aperture!
"This is second aperture?" Fang Yuan felt his chest and mumbled to himself in a daze.
"Nonsense, what is it if not the second aperture?" Lang Ya land spirit rolled his eyes, "Second aperture has great advantages to cultivators like you, providing even greater advantage when you become Gu Immortal. But, if you are still thinking of having the third aperture Gu, that is impossible. You would have to deduce and infer this whole new third aperture Gu's recipe."
Fang Yuan returned to his senses and looked profoundly at Lang Ya land spirit. The other intentionally raised this topic; no doubt it meant that he wanted to cooperate and deduce the Gu recipe.
Lang Ya land spirit's face reddened when he saw Fang Yuan's evident gaze.
Fang Yuan laughed and said his goodbye to Lang Ya land spirit: "We will talk of this later, I will take my leave now."
"Get lost, get lost!" Lang Ya land spirit repeatedly waved his hand.
Only when Fang Yuan had completely left did Lang Ya land spirit let out a breath of relief, a trace of humiliation appearing on his face for having his intentions seen through: "This sly kid."
But when he thought of Fang Yuan's last words which showed the intent of cooperating, Lang Ya land spirit's eyes flickered brightly.
He stroked his beard and could not help falling in daydream; he had dozens and dozens more of incomplete Gu recipes.
"Since that kid could deduce such secrets, he definitely has extraordinary achievements in wisdom path. With his help, I will be able to make some breakthrough in most of these Gu recipes, and thirteen of them could even be perfected. But just two people's cooperation is far from enough to complete the remaining seven Gu recipes."
""But I need to be vigilant when I interact with this kid in the future to avoid being schemed by him. Fortunately, I was cautious today and made him use second aperture Gu on the spot, otherwise I might have been blackmailed by him again! Eh, something does not feel right… I wasted immortal essence to activate the second aperture Gu!""
After exiting Lang Ya blessed land, Fang Yuan returned to Hu Immortal blessed land through stargate Gu.
Under his management, Hu Immortal blessed land already showed many good changes.
In the beautiful western part of the blessed land, large numbers of wolf groups and small numbers of fox groups were co-existing with each other.
Wolf groups' arrival might have disrupted the easy life of the fox group, but they did not disastrous casualties.
The credit for all this went to the large numbers of iron shell flowers planted on the ground.
Countless pink rabbits lived in this sea of iron shell flowers.
Pink rabbits could be easily multiplied and became the main source of food of wolf groups and fox groups.
At the eastern part, dreamy starlight pervaded the area, covering all the lakes with starry gauze.
The wide expanse of dark clouds were planted with star fragment grass. The star fragment grass grew rapidly, and while they could only occupy the central area of the dark clouds at first, now they had already spread to the edges of the clouds.
"Fairy Yao Guang's planting methods are really good. Star fragment grass are the food of starlight fireflies, and at the same time their growth is rapidly increased with the help of the starlight fireflies."
Fang Yuan repeatedly nodded his head. It was precisely because of the exchange for the starlight firefly group's breeding insights from Star Lord Wan Xiang, Fairy Yao Guang and others, that he could avoid many detours and obtain quite a bit of gains.
"It is only that although the starlight firefly group is also expanding, but the number of starlight firefly Gu are instead decreasing. These days, I have been repeatedly using stargate Gu, the consumption of the starlight firefly Gu is much higher than the rate of their creation."
Fang Yuan then turned his gaze towards the lakes on the ground.
These lakes were created by him drawing in the water in reverse to quench the fire.
Now, many water wolves were living around these lakes. These water wolves made their nests beside the lakes, eating the blue jade crucian carps in the lakes and sometimes going ashore to devore the earth skin pigs who came to drink water.
Blue jade crucian carps and earth skin pigs were both animals Fang Yuan purchased before. Now, large groups of them had adapted to the new environment under Little Hu Immortal's control and became a part of the Hu Immortal blessed land's food chain.
Especially the earth skin pigs, its reproducing ability was stronger than even pink rabbits and could eat almost anything, including mud. The pig group's scale was gradually expanding. If not for water wolves and poison beard wolves, the number of earth skin pigs would have been thirty to forty percent higher.

Chapter 491: Expansion of the wolf group
Translator: ChibiGeneral
What Fang Yuan was most concerned about was air bubble fish's situation.
The lakes where air bubble fishes were placed on was carefully selected by Little Hu Immortal. Above these three lakes were the starry clouds where there was the most dense amount of star fragment grasses and also large numbers of starlight fireflies.
The air bubble fishes grew on these lakes where there were no water wolf groups, and even the numbers of blue crucian carps were very few.
These three lakes were personally protected by Little Hu Immortal to let as much precious air bubble fish grow smoothly from the fish roes and mature.
Now, there were many newly hatched fishes moving about these lakes.
These baby fishes were similar to goldfish with round bellies, small and pointed head and tail. However, it was not brightly colored as a goldfish and was mostly milky white. It also did not have the wavy fins and tail; their tails were small and exquisite.
Moreover, their swimming method was different from other fish species. These baby air bubble fishes were moving while bobbing up and down.
"If there is no big change, at around the end of this year, Eastern Sea's air bubble sea will be poisoned because of a fight between Gu Immortals. The price of air bubble fish in treasure yellow heaven will greatly increase. But I don't have enough air bubble fishes for my own use, let alone sell them in a short period of time." Fang Yuan pondered.
Whether it was the starlight firefly Gu or air bubble fish, they were both long term investments. It would require at least a hundred years for him to start receiving the profits.
Regarding the knowledge in breeding air bubble fish, Fang Yuan did not buy it from outside.
With his know-hows from his past life, he could increase the reproduction rate of the air bubble fishes by thirty percent. That is to say, he was at forefront among Gu Immortals at this.
Fang Yuan was satisfied from this inspection.
He praised Little Hu Immortal, causing her to feel extremely happy; her face reddened and her snow-white tail excitedly wagged.
However, Dang Hun mountain was still in a worsening condition.
Standing on Dang Hun mountain, Fang Yuan could sense a kind of dying aura. This caused Fang Yuan's mood to become grave.
Dang Hun mountain was the most valuable thing in the whole Hu Immortal blessed land. Starlight firefly Gu or air bubble fish could never be able to compare to it.
Fang Yuan returned to Dang Hun palace and summoned Little Hu Immortal, activating connecting heaven Gu to link up with treasure yellow heaven.
Just as they connected, several divine sense were transmitted.
"Are you selling gruel mud or not?"
"I will add a pair of hole earth Gu on top of Gu recipe."
"Although my remnant recipe only has a treasure light of sixty-five feet, but I can give some hairy men as complementary. Everything can be discussed."
These divine senses were all regarding the transaction for Gruel Mud.
Fang Yuan had put large amounts of gruel mud for sale before, directly requesting Immortal Gu Gruel Mud's recipe as the exchange. As this concerned Immortal Gu, this transaction had attracted many attention.
"Although Gruel Mud is one of the necessary materials to refine the Immortal Gu. But the Gu recipe's value is no doubt many times higher than Gruel Mud. These Gu recipes they want to exchange for have already reached the highest price."
Fang Yuan took a glance and knew the time for the transaction was ripe.
The prices everyone gave had reached the maximum amount possible with little difference between them. Fang Yuan looked at the prices but took a fancy upon one side.
The other was called Immortal Mudfeet; his Immortal Gruel Mud remnant recipe had a sixty-five feet high treasure light.
This level of treasure light was a bit lower than the other competing bidders. But the message he left showed he could add some hairy men to complement for this difference.
Normally, Gu Immortals raised hairy men to help them in refining Gu.
With the help of a large number of hairy men, Gu Immortals would not lack rank five Gu, but they would have to keep on trying for Immortal Gu.
Treasure yellow heaven transacted slaves and hairy men were one of the most popular among them, with price that was often higher than slaves of other races. Rockmen could not even be mentioned together with them.
Fang Yuan had already intended to buy some hairy men back at Lang Ya blessed land.
Thus, he had been excited when he saw those hairy men at Lang Ya blessed land. Unfortunately, Lang Ya land spirit did not yield in selling them, and Fang Yuan could do nothing about it.
Now, he required a large number of wolf enslavement Gu.
He already obtained rank one to rank five wolf enslavement Gu recipes from Lang Ya land spirit. He only lacked these hairy men to help him refine them.
If it was only him and Little Hu Immortal who refined the Gu, they might not be able to refine the amount he required even in two-three months.
Immediately, Little Hu Immortal conveyed the divine sense.
Immortal Mudfeet also happened to be present, immediately replying: "I am willing to add in ten thousand hairy men!"
But Fang Yuan was disappointed when he looked at the goods: "Although you are giving a lot of hairy men, they are all young ones and won't be a big help in refining Gu. What I need is the old hairy men."
"Old hairy men? Then the quantity will be decreased." Immortal Mudfeet pondered before replying. In these years, the hairy men's population in his blessed land had reached an excess so he was trying to get rid of a batch and was thus selling them cheaply.
After a round of haggling, Immortal Mudfeet finally agreed to sell over three thousand old hairy men and over seven thousand young hairy men to Fang Yuan.
For this, Fang Yuan had to add in half an immortal essence stone.
The transaction was finished. Fang Yuan checked the remnant recipe of Immortal Gu Gruel Mud.
The recipe was indeed damaged with only sixty percent of the contents in it. And the contents in it should moreover have been tampered by Immortal Mudfeet many times which required Fang Yuan to comb through them for the real contents.
This was not surprising.
Immortal Gu recipe was very precious, and if it was him who sold them, he would also tamper it like this. Although the treasure light would decrease after the tampering, the competition between Gu Immortals was precisely like this.
"With this remnant recipe, I have a foundation to deduce the complete recipe for Immortal Gu Gruel Mud in future; it will be much easier than deducing it with no foundation! More importantly, Immortal Gu Gruel Mud is with me. As long as I don't use it, no one will be able to refine the Gu. I can still keep on selling the gruel mud and profit."
But he could not bring the Immortal Gu Gruel Mud to Hu Immortal blessed land for the moment. After Fang Yuan left Lang Ya blessed land, he used many methods to cover the Immortal Gu's aura and bury it.
This was something he had no other way to deal with.
Before he became a Gu Immortal, he could only deal with it like this.
Most of the Gu Immortals who purchased these gruel mud wanted to refine Immortal Gu. Unfortunately, it was impossible for them to reach their objective.
Fang Yuan continued to put gruel mud for sale while checking the wolf groups.
Wolves possessed very strong reproductive ability, and most of the blessed lands would get rid of the surplus every once in a while.
Thus, there were many Gu Immortals selling wolf groups in treasure yellow heaven.
"The wolf group suffered a huge loss in the battle with the three tribes, I need to replenish the number of myriad beast kings. Eh, someone is actually selling wolf emperor."
Fang Yuan was pleasantly surprised.
The structure of beast groups was quite simple, they were separately classified into - ordinary beasts, hundred beast king, thousand beast king and myriad beast king. Above myriad beast king was beast emperor.
Rank five wild Gu resided in the beast emperor's body. They had the battle strength of a rank five and could control myriad beast kings.
Ying Ming and Ba Huang whom Fang Yuan used in the three kings blessed land were dog emperors. These two dog emperors were able to help him to hold off the attacks of rank five Gu Masters. Unfortunately, Fang Yuan was later occupied with escaping for his life and could not attend to them. He did not know if they were killed in the battle or were taken in by others.
Normally speaking, very few Gu Immortals would sell beast emperors as the beast emperors were a reflection of the blessed land's strength.
Fang Yuan looked at the particulars and realized the reason.
It turned out that this was an old beast emperor with wounds all over its body. The wild Gu on it were badly damaged with only two-three remaining.
"It seems a new wolf emperor appeared in the night wolf group and fought with the old wolf emperor. This old wolf should have been killed by the young wolf emperor, but the Gu Immortal moved at the crucial time and put this old wolf emperor for sale." Fang Yuan Guessed the reason correctly.
But even so, this old wolf emperor still got three bidders.
Divine sense kept on exchanging and finally, Fang Yuan used two immortal essence stones to buy this old night wolf emperor along with over eighteen thousand night wolves.
Then, Fang Yuan continued to buy thirty thousand turtleback wolves and ten thousand wind wolves; among them, there were two turtleback myriad wolf kings and one wind wolf myriad wolf king.
Adding in the previous wolf group, Fang Yuan's wolf group reached a hundred thousand.
"This is the benefits of having a blessed land. I can stand on the shoulders of Gu Immortals and casually transact beast groups, instantly recovering their size and also would not have to worry about feeding or logistics problem. But a hundred thousand is still few. Ma Zun, Yang Po Ying and Jiang Bao Ya, these enslavement path masters have beast groups of at least four hundred thousand beasts. Especially Jiang Bao Ya who had over six hundred and fifty thousand beasts in his prime!"
The heroes assembly was to begin, where heroes rose and vied for supremacy.
Fang Yuan knew he was unable to avoid competing with these people with his identity as Chang Shan Yin.
So he had to expand his wolf group further!
Fang Yuan started to buy again, buying ten thousand water wolves which contained one water wolf myriad beast king and 6 thousand wolf kings.
Then he carefully pondered for a while and finally decided on vermillion flame wolves.
He bought eighty thousand vermillion flame wolves from different Gu Immortals.
In northern plains, vermillion flame wolves were quite rare compared to turtleback wolves, wind wolves and night wolves.
Vermilion flame wolf had red fur all over its body which shone like fire. They attacked fierce and quick and had flame path Gu worms on them. They could very easily destroy the grassland and create an inferno. If one could use this superiority properly, they could cause enormous casualties to the enemy.
Fang Yuan's plan was to have a wolf group of a hundred thousand vermilion flame wolves. He only got eighty thousand after buying from everyone, so the task of buying the remaining twenty thousand was given to Little Hu Immortal.
"Six vermillion flame myriad wolf kings, one water wolf myriad beast king, three turtleback myriad wolf kings, two wind wolf myriad beast kings, one mutated beast white eye wolf and one night wolf beast emperor."
Fang Yuan surmised his wolf group's battle strength had increased by tenfold at once.
If it were common Gu Masters without the methods of Gu Immortals, they needed the help of a large tribe to reach this stage and even then would require six-seven years of searching all over the northern plains.
There were all sizes of wolf groups in northern plains. The small wolf groups often only had few hundreds and were not good enough. The large wolf groups had tens of thousands in numbers and were difficult to take down.
Capturing wolf groups required careful planning or it was better to not do it. A bitter victory would not work, and only by getting a decisive victory could one get the most harvests.
Fang Yuan's current leap to success seemed easy, but actually could be concluded as a Gu Immortal's methods.

Chapter 492: Getting another mutated wolf
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
"This way, the wolf group's numbers have hit two hundred thousand! But… this is still not enough." Fang Yuan eyes were shining with contemplation: "I do not need to gather ordinary wolves, by that time, someone will naturally bring them to me. Now, I need to prioritize on my upper-level battle strength."
Although there were beast emperors on sale in treasure yellow heaven occasionally, they would be quickly bought by Gu Immortals after appearing for a short time.
Fang Yuan knew that it was not realistic if he wanted to buy a few more wolf emperors. Thus, he placed his attention on mutated beasts.
Every mature mutated beast had battle strength equivalent to a myriad beast king.
Any first-rate enslavement path Gu Master would have a troop of mutated beasts as their trump card and ultimate force.
For example, southern border's King Quan had a mastiff group, Jiang Bao Ya had the mountain drilling rat group, Yang Po Ying had the thunder eagle group, and Ma Zun had the pegasus group.
There were many wolf-type mutated beasts. At this moment, four types were sold in treasure yellow heaven.
The first was blood forest wolf.
This wolf had a huge body, almost like a mound. An adult standing beside it would look like a fox standing beside and elephant.
The blood forest wolf had blood red fur, and the fur looked dry like wormwood. On each of their backs, there was a 'white forest'.
These 'trees' are actually the blood forest wolf's bones, they protrude from the back and grow vertically upwards. The white bone trees have blood red leaves growing on them. As the trees grow closely to each other, it looked like a 'blood forest'.
After a blood forest wolf gives birth, it would send the cub into the blood forest on its back, and the huge space would allow the child to live comfortable. The blood fruits on the trees would provide nutrients for the cub.
Blood forest wolf were like mobile fortresses, although they were not fast, they had overwhelming strength. This was something not even myriad beast kings could do.
The second type was shark fin wolf.
This was both a land and aquatic mutated beast, it looks like an elephant but there were smooth and shiny crocodile scales on its body. At the same time, there are sharp deep blue fins on the side of their bodies. On their backs, there are rows of fins that resembles a shark's, these fins form a line extending from the wolf's head to its tail.
Shark fin wolves had the greatest defense among mutated wolves, at the same time, they could fight underwater.
The third was frenzy wolf.
The frenzy wolf has a silver and grey body, it has three eyes and a body that was not large, around the same size as thousand beast kings.
But those who looked down on it due to its size would often pay a terrible price.
Once the frenzy wolf battles, it goes into a berserk state, it moves extremely fast and would not stop until the enemy is dead. Especially after its third eye opens, its battle strength will surge by five times!
Once the three eyes are open at once, regardless of the battle results, it would die.
This was a type of wolf breed that disregards their own body when entering fierce battles.
The fourth was the white-eyes wolf.
The eyes of the white-eyes wolf were pure white. They had extremely good eyesight, even during the night, their vision cannot be obstructed.
In treasure yellow heaven, there was one blood forest wolf, three shark fin wolves, two frenzy wolves, and five white-eyes wolves on sale, they were all bought by Fang Yuan.
At the same time, far away in southern border's Shadow Sect blessed land, Old Man Yan Shi squinted his eyes as he stared at the connecting heaven Gu in mid air.
Fang Yuan bought wolf groups in bulk, even wolf emperors and mutated wolves, it attracted the attention of this wisdom path Gu Immortal.
"This Fang Yuan, he suddenly bought so many wolves, what is he trying to do?"
This mysterious rank seven wisdom path Gu Immortal who had always stayed in the background frowned.
He tried using his Gu to make a deduction.
But the result was that Fang Yuan wanted to rear wolf groups for profit and business.
This result did not satisfy him.
"Hu Immortal blessed land's environment is most suited for growing fox groups. Although wolves are similar to foxes, they are different after all."
Blessed lands are blessed, they were the land of fortune. But every blessed land was different, they received different blessings.
For example, Hu Immortal blessed land was most optimal for raising foxes. Foxes that lived in this area would grow better and breed faster. As for Lang Ya blessed land, it was suited for refining Gu, the environment was suitable for hairy men to live in.
Shadow Sect blessed land benefited the cultivation of soul path Gu Masters.
The instinct deep within his heart told Old Man Yan Shi that Fang Yuan's actions had much deeper meaning.
But wisdom path was not all-knowing, it had its weaknesses. Otherwise, wisdom path would rule the Gu world, there would not be a scene of variety where many paths flourished.
Wisdom path needed evidence to make deductions. The more evidences they had, the more reliable their deductions would be. The wisdom path Gu Master would be guided towards making a more accurate answer.
But for Old Man Yan Shi, although he was a wisdom path Gu Immortal, he would never have expected Fang Yuan to be from the future.
Old Man Yan Shi had deduced that Fang Yuan used Fixed Immortal Travel Gu to go to Hu Immortal blessed land. But he would never be able to guess that Fang Yuan went to northern plains.
If Fang Yuan had sold divine travel Gu in treasure yellow heaven, he might have been able to make the connection.
But Fang Yuan was vigilant, he sold divine travel Gu to Lang Ya blessed land. Old Man Yan Shi lacked the most critical piece of information, thus his deduction ended up being wrong.
He tried for a few more times, but he still received the same result.
"Do I really have to use my vital Gu for this?" Old Man Yan Shi thought of this as his pores expanded, as traces of cloud smoke flowed out of him.
The white cloud smoke rose up and gathered above his head, forming into a rumbling cloud.
The cloud was misty, once it appeared, a thick Immortal Gu aura burst out of it.
But this rank seven Immortal Gu had an indiscernible aura, it was like the stars in the night sky, there was no way to locate it. It was also like the scent of a lotus from a thousand steps away, the presence was extremely faint.
Every time the cloud rumbled, there were infinite changes undergoing inside, there was no way to understand it all. If outsiders forced themselves to comprehend it, they would receive ambiguous answers.
This was Old Man Yan Shi's vital Gu — Heavenly Secret!
Heavenly secret Immortal Gu!
It could expose the secrets of heaven and earth, even if the Gu Immortal did not have any evidences or clues, it could directly lead them to the truth.
When Old Man Yan Shi found out that killer ghost doctor was under the slavery Gu, he used the heavenly secret Gu to deduce that Fang Yuan would one day return to southern border.
Thus, Old Man Yan Shi set up this trap and waited for Fang Yuan to come.
Right now, Old Man Yan Shi was hesitating, he was wondering if he should use heavenly secret Gu.
Although heavenly secret Gu was powerful, it had a weakness.
Old Man Yan Shi would not succeed every time he used it, out of ten tries, at least eight would fail. Once he fails, Old Man Yan Shi would face the backlash of an Immortal Gu.
If this backlash was common injuries, so be it, but it was extremely powerful and caused anyone to feel fear.
Old Man Yan Shi's soul and body would be intact, the heavenly secret Gu's backlash only targeted his lifespan.
Once he faces a backlash, Old Man Yan Shi would lose ten to seventy years of his remaining lifespan!
A Gu Master's cultivation to raise his rank did not have any effect on his lifespan. To extend their life, Gu Masters had one way that was the best, that was lifespan Gu.
Lifespan Gu can be used to increase a Gu Master's lifespan without any consequences.
Other than that, there were other unorthodox methods that could increase lifespan. But each of these methods had either weakness or flaws.
"My current body has around eighty years of lifespan left. Even the most severe backlash will only take seventy years of my life, I will still have ten years left, it is enough to execute my heaven defying plan! But these small matters would usually not give a huge backlash, most likely, I will lose about thirteen or fourteen years. But…"
"Is it worth it for me to use heavenly secret Gu for this? This act of defying heaven will definitely be noticed by my enemies when I reach the crucial stage. In the future, I will still need to use heavenly secret Gu to predict the future."
"But, if I can get the fixed immortal travel Gu that Fang Yuan has, it is a great help towards my plan. Just talk about now, if I had fixed immortal travel Gu to attack Lang Ya blessed land, I will be able to attack or retreat at will. What can Lang Ya land spirit do to me? I will not have suffered such a huge loss this time."
Old Man Yan Shi thought through it, and decided to give up.
Although heavenly secret Gu was powerful, it was a huge trap. The chances of success was simply too low, furthermore, the consequences of failure was too severe, Old Man Yan Shi did not want to waste his lifespan for nothing.
Back then, in order to deduce that Fang Yuan had fixed immortal travel Gu, or where he went, he first spent seventy years and got a result that stunned him for a long time.
He was in central continent!
He was in Hu Immortal blessed land!
How did he get there? What opportunity did he get, in order to get a visual image of Hu Immortal blessed land?
Okay, Fang Yuan started hiding inside the blessed land and refused to come out, Old Man Yan Shi's plan to take Fixed Immortal Travel Gu flopped before it even began.
But thankfully, he used heavenly secret Gu and expended another eighty years of his lifespan to find the most possible opportunity to strike.
In the future, on some day, Fang Yuan will return to southern border and join the battle of Yi Tian mountain!
For this Fixed Immortal Travel Gu, Old Man Yan Shi spent a hundred and fifty years of his life.
"Nevermind, since I got the results already, I shall wait here for him. The matter of him raising wolves is not a concern. As a wisdom path Gu Immortal, how can a mere mortal escape from a scheme that I made myself? Hehe."
Old Man Yan Shi snickered as he opened his eyes.
His eyes were like the white-eyes wolf, there were no pupils, only white color.
He stared at connecting heaven Gu, his lips becoming more curled as he said: "You are a mere mortal but you wasted a hundred and fifty years of my life. In the future when you die from my plot, it will be your greatest honor. But now, don't think you will have a good time!"
Old Man Yan Shi worked for a while, very quickly, Fang Yuan felt something amiss inside Hu Immortal blessed land.
"Oh no, someone is buying the materials for refining wolf enslavement Gu in bulk!"
Fang Yuan wanted to buy these materials, but Old Man Yan Shi was a step ahead of him.
He quickly tried to buy them, but faced much obstruction. A number of Gu Immortal purposely raised the prices against him, causing him to spend a lot more, and the total amount of materials he procured was less than expected.
Fang Yuan squinted, his gaze sharp like a needle: "Someone is intentionally making problems for me. Hmph, it can't be Lang Ya land spirit, it does not have such influence. Then, other than Immortal Crane Sect, it can only be that mysterious Old Man Yan Shi!"
"Hehe."
Suddenly, Fang Yuan laughed.
If it was before, he would be helpless against such a situation. But now, it was different.
He had a large number of wolf enslavement Gu recipes. These recipes ranged from rank one to five, and at every rank, there were different types of wolf enslavement Gu recipes.
These materials that the Gu Immortals obstructed him from getting were merely materials in ordinary wolf enslavement Gu recipes. Many Gu recipes had innovative ideas and took different routes, especially Lang Ya land spirit's personal recipes, how could these Gu Immortals understand the use of these materials?

Chapter 493: Surge in Battle Strength
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
A moment later.
"Hmph…" Fang Yuan's gaze was cold as he memorised these Gu Immortals' names.
Diao Sou, Great Immortal Ju Shi, Dian Huang Tianmu…
"Old Man Yan Shi, so it was you." He finally understood who the people finding problems with him were. Because most of these Gu Immortals were the ones who attacked Lang Ya blessed land back in his previous life, according to his memories.
"These Gu Immortals mostly come from northern plains, but there are also some from southern borders, eastern sea, western desert, and central continent. If I count Old Man Yan Shi as well, this hidden and mysterious Gu Immortal organization is truly huge!"
Because of this uncommon clash, Fang Yuan learnt about many secret details, he was secretly shocked.
What kind of force was it, who created it?
In his previous life, he had absolutely no idea about it, he was kept in the dark.
Such a huge force was hiding in the background, they were not a simple poisonous snake, but a ferocious tiger hidden behind the trees.
What were they planning, what was their motive?
In the future developments, during the battle of the five regions, what influence did they have in all of these events? As for Old Man Yan Shi, what was his role in this mysterious organisation?
Thinking back about their earlier strife, while it seemed like they were aggressively attacking, they did not use their full strength after all, they had perfect control over their actions.
Outsiders would not have sensed anything, they would only think of this as an ordinary contest.
Even himself, if not for his five hundred years of memories, he would only think that he was unlucky and faced fierce competition when procuring materials.
They struck secretly, interfering with him and found that they could not stop him, thus they stopped.
The entire assault was like throwing a rock into the water, after several ripples, the water surface returned to normal.
Fang Yuan was clear in his heart, he could escape from their assault this time because of Lang Ya land spirit's recipes, but that was only a foundation. Most importantly, the other party did not want to expose themselves or attract any suspicions, thus they did not go all-out.
Although Fang Yuan was a Gu Immortal in his previous life, he was only a mortal now.
Although he had one blessed land, he could not compete against the cooperation of two Gu Immortals, as well as such a mysterious and powerful force.
"The reason why I attracted the attention of Old Man Yan Shi is most likely due to fixed immortal travel Gu." Fang Yuan thought to himself.
Back then, he used a mortal body to refine an immortal Gu in front of everyone, it was simply too glaring and attention catching.
Immortal Gu were something not many Gu Immortals had. Not to mention fixed immortal travel Gu, such a top tier rank six Gu? Naturally, it would attract the greed of Gu Immortals.
The problem was that high profile he had!
But Fang Yuan had no choice, back then, the situation forced him to do so. This also resulted in the best outcome, there was no better way out of it.
"After such a long time, I'm sure the news have spread already. Immortal Crane Sect is definitely investigating this thoroughly, but that is a good thing."
"The clearer they investigate this, the more they would learn about me. I am only about thirty years old, I am a vagabond from a destroyed small-mid sized clan, I am a lone cultivator, or rather, I am a demonic Gu Master!"
"As such a person with low aptitude and lacking resources, I actually managed to learn about Hu Immortal blessed land's scenery and was able to refine an Immortal Gu? How is that possible? This is like an ant becoming a giant and swallowing an elephant, or a pig that grew wings and flew even higher than eagles."
Or using a phrase from Earth, this is scientifically impossible!
"This way, they will definitely deduce that there's an expert behind me! Someone of this level has to be a strong and mysterious Gu Immortal. I am merely a chess piece that this person is using behind the scenes."
"And because of this, if they want to deal with me, they will have to consider the person behind me, or the organisation backing me up. What if this background organisation is a group of people, a super clan, or a super sect? Nobody knows. Any person would want to investigate the unknown, to use all means to learn about their enemies."
"Before they investigate clearly, as long as I hide inside Hu Immortal blessed land and do not do anything overbearing, they will only try to probe me but would not truly go all-out."
Fang Yuan's thoughts moved like waves, sparked like flint rocks as he evaluated his current situation.
"Of course, this is only temporary. Paper cannot cover up a fire, once they find out the truth, or lose their patience, my trouble would come."
The moment Immortal Crane Sect attacks Hu Immortal blessed land, the best outcome for Fang Yuan is to self-detonate the blessed land and make both sides suffer a huge loss, nobody will obtain Dang Hun mountain in that case.
After losing the protection of his blessed land, Fang Yuan would be hunted down by everyone.
Thus, he was using the identity of Chang Shan Yin as a future back-up plan, to leave a way out for himself.
A crafty rabbit makes three homes, as a demonic lord in his time, Fang Yuan understood this clearly.
After collecting his thought, Fang Yuan sighed.
He had to cultivate quickly, it would be best if he reached Gu Immortal stage once again before Immortal Crane Sect and the mysterious force struck. But even so, it would still be a great danger. If he could not survive it, he would be smashed to bits, and end up in the pitiful state of eternal rest.
"The pressure is great…"
Even though Fang Yuan obtained the greatest benefits back at three kings blessed land, because of his actions, he lost the initiative.
Spring Autumn Cicada, Immortal Crane Sect, Dang Hun mountain, mysterious force, earthly calamity of the blessed land…
Even though he obtained Hu Immortal blessed land and his strength soared because of it, he was in even greater danger now.
All the intense and precarious situations, are pressuring him step-by-step, like a whip or a scythe, driving him to move forward.
If he slows down for even a moment, the outcome would be unthinkable!
If it were others, they would have exhausted their mind and body, crushed into pulp by such despairing circumstances. Only Fang Yuan, by racking his brain and thinking out of the box, could manage to find a chance of survival amidst looming disaster.
But even though he tried so hard, the situation was not taking a turn for the better.
Like now, he was facing a new problem.
Immortal essence stones were running out!
He had first sold large numbers of Immortal Gu recipes and obtained twenty-eight immortal essence stones. But after some purchases, especially the current bulk purchase, his spending was too high and his funds were running out.
Right now, Fang Yuan had four immortal essence stones left. But there were too many areas he needed to invest in.
Helpless, he had to stop investing in the wolf groups.
But Fang Yuan's original plan was to dual cultivate strength and enslavement path. Now that he had a second aperture, this plan was taking form.
Three things dictated an enslavement path Gu Master's strength.
Firstly, it was the size of the enslaved beast group.
Secondly, it was the enslavement path Gu worms that the Gu Master had.
The third was the enslavement path Gu Master's soul. The deeper the foundation of their soul, the more beasts they could enslave, and the stronger beast kings they could control. The time that they could manipulate beast groups to battle would lengthen as well.
"After my purchase, my wolf group's size is already second-rate in northern plains' mortal plane. The first-rate enslavement masters are still the three of them — Ma Zun, Jiang Bao Ya, and Yang Po Ying."
"But my enslavement path Gu worms were all from Chang Shan Yin. They are only rank four, I have to get them to rank five so as to deal with the great battle in northern plains."
"Thankfully, despite Dang Hun mountain's slow death, it can still be used. With guts Gu, my expenditure is greatly reduced, but other than that, I still need large numbers of wolf soul Gu to improve my wolfman soul."
Facing his cultivation requirements, the immortal essence stones in Fang Yuan's possession seemed lacking. Bulking purchasing wolves only fulfilled one of the three aspects in Fang Yuan's enslavement cultivation.
Next, he bought a few more Gu recipes in treasure yellow heaven, as well as many refinement materials and the rank five wolf soul Gu that he desperately needed, getting a total of eighteen.
This way, he spent another immortal essence stone, he only had three left.
Fang Yuan placed his sights on relic Gu next.
His second aperture Gu was just formed, it is only rank one initial stage, it had to cultivate from the beginning.
But where would Fang Yuan get the time to cultivate? By using relic Gu to boost the cultivation level, he could bring out this second aperture's usefulness in the short run.
Even though he had such intentions, the immortal essence stones were almost used up already, Fang Yuan could only buy the green copper, red steel, white silver, and yellow gold relic Gu.
Next, he chose the body modification Gu worm.
The body is like a sack, it holds the soul. When the soul is strong, while the body is unable to hold it, it would form a bottleneck, and the soul's growth would be halted.
Similarly, if the body was not strong enough, the one had to be careful when using strength path Gu worms. If they overexerted themselves, they might break their own bones and tear their flesh before even hitting the enemy.
After Fang Yuan finished his transaction, he had only two immortal essence stones left.
These two stones were kept to deal with emergency situations.
For the next two days, Fang Yuan did not leave Hu Immortal blessed land, he cultivated on Dang Hun mountain.
"This is the final guts Gu." On a cliff, Fang Yuan grabbed this Gu.
Splat.
With a crisp sound, yellow-brown mud flowed out.
This was a rotten Gu, its body was corroded by the gruel mud Immortal Gu, it lost the ability to enhance souls.
"Dang Hun mountain's vitality is falling, the number of intact guts Gu is dropping as well… but, after these few days of strengthening, due to the huge number, my soul still managed to reach thousand man soul."
Fang Yuan closed his eyes, feeling the soul in his body.
This thousand man soul was much more solid than before, it gave off a dense feeling. Almost as if it was stuffed inside Fang Yuan's body, it gave a feeling of almost bursting out.
Thousand man soul was the signature trademark of an enslavement expert. Back then, Chang Shan Yin had thousand man soul.
Fang Yuan opened his eyes, with a thought, he called little Hu Immortal, and teleported himself into Dang Hun palace.
Sitting on his cushion, he took out a white silver relic Gu.
Through his earlier tests, there was no problems with this relic Gu, thus Fang Yuan injected his primeval essence into it.
A moment later, he opened his eyes, after inspecting the second aperture, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Second aperture has reached rank three peak stage too."
This way, Fang Yuan's first aperture was rank five peak stage, having crystal purple primeval essence. Second aperture was rank three peak stage, having snow silver primeval essence.
Although snow silver primeval essence could not compare to crystal purple primeval essence, it could still provide some help to Fang Yuan.
After all, in the northern plains contest for the Imperial Court, rank three Gu Masters were the absolute vital force.
"After I use the yellow gold relic Gu, I will reach rank four peak stage, that would be the best. Of course, the happiest thing is that the second aperture gives me the option for another vital Gu. This way, I alone can have two vital Gu."

Chapter 494: All of you, get lost!
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Throwing aside expendable Gu, a Gu Master's first choice of a Gu worm would become their vital Gu.
The relation between vital Gu and a Gu Master were very close; one could even say their lives were connected.
No matter which side was injured, the other side would also be implicated.
Vital Gu had one advantage which other Gu did not have — that was no matter how severe the backlash was after Gu refinement failure, the vital Gu would still preserved.
Thus, most Gu Masters would regard the vital Gu as their core Gu. Generally, the Gu Master's strongest Gu worm is their vital Gu.
Once a vital Gu forms, it would be difficult to change it.
But that was not absolute.
If the Gu Master found an extremely good Gu worm and wanted to cultivate it as their vital Gu, they could destroy their original vital Gu.
But this type of action was extremely dangerous.
Once the vital Gu was destroyed, the Gu Master would suffer enormous backlash; at the least, they would suffer heavy injuries, and the worst outcome meant death.
After rebirth, Fang Yuan's vital Gu was Spring Autumn Cicada which had been hibernating in the center of his first aperture with no movement.
Now, he had a second aperture and had a chance to choose a second vital Gu.
He had been able to guess this from the Gu recipe, but Fang Yuan was still happy after truly finding that it gave him this chance to choose.
'Which Gu should I choose as my second vital Gu?'
Immortal Gu could be taken out of the equation.
Fang Yuan's second aperture was only a rank three mortal aperture, unable to store Immortal Gu. Spring Autumn Cicada was a special situation.
Besides Spring Autumn Cicada, Fang Yuan also had two other Immortal Gu – Fixed Immortal Travel and Gruel Mud.
But Immortal Gu Gruel Mud was an expendable Gu; if he made it his vital Gu, after it is used up, Fang Yuan will suffer heavy backlash. Fang Yuan naturally would not do such a stupid thing.
As for Fixed Immortal Travel, it was far away at the poisonous grassland so there was no need to mention it.
Without much hesitation, Fang Yuan made his decision.
It was rank three all-out effort Gu!
He was cultivating strength path and enslavement path. All-out effort Gu was a must and was also the most ideal core of the strength path.
Previously, Fang Yuan intended to use undefeated hundred battles Gu to ensure the safety of the all-out effort Gu during Gu refinement.
But due to many reasons and because of the situation, Fang Yuan had no choice but to use undefeated hundred battles Gu to refine Immortal Gu Fixed Immortal Travel.
As long as all-out effort Gu became his second vital Gu, Fang Yuan would no longer need to worry losing this precious Gu worm after Gu refinement failure.
Two days passed in an instant.
Fang Yuan returned to the northern plains through stargate Gu.
The time flow in Hu Immortal blessed land was five times faster than the outside world. Fang Yuan had spent two days in the blessed land but only a night had passed in northern plains.
It was crack of dawn.
From the edge of the sky, gentle purple and white colors started to appear.
As the sun started to rise, the grass started to gradually look glossy green from the previously dark color.
The crescent lake reflected the dazzling sunlight and sparkled.
The light of dawn shone upon Fang Yuan's face, he smiled and looked at the side.
The sparse wolf group was once again replenished with many white wolf figures.
These were water wolves with a size that crossed ten thousand; a water wolf myriad beast king led them along with 6 thousand wolf kings under it.
As for the vermillion flame wolf group, night wolf group, mutated beasts and so on, Fang Yuan did not bring them.
It would be too abrupt and conspicuous if he brought them all out at once.
Fang Yuan was disguising as Chang Shan Yin and wanted to properly manage this identity, thus he had to avoid such exposing actions.
Water wolves were different.
This action was proclaiming he was taking in wild water wolves. The water wolves' appearance was easily explained. But if night wolf beast emperor or those mutated wolves appeared, it would make no sense.
"I will have to continue taking in the wild water wolf groups." Fang Yuan rode on the hump wolf and with a thought, the whole wolf group again moved out majestically towards the next destination.
Three days later, on a certain area beside the crescent lake.
Gu Masters from two tribes were furiously looking at each other.
"Zhong Fei You, your Zhong tribe is too much of a bully, these five black skin fat beetles are clearly our tribe's goods, but you actually dare to seize it out in the open!" One tribe's tribe leader Chai Zhang shouted.
"Bullshit! We have already agreed to our territories with this water wolf nest as the boundary. And this is our Chai tribe's territory. As these five black skin fat beetles have come to our Zhong tribe's territory, they naturally become ours!" Zhong tribe leader Zhong Fei You sneered.
Chai tribe's Gu Masters were furious at such words.
Chai Zhang's face even flushed with anger as he lashed out: "Shameless! Our Chai tribe is moving out our camp to hurry to the heroes assembly, and naturally we need to pass through this place."
Zhong Fei You's eyes shone with a chilly light as he grinned: "So this is your Chai tribe's mistake. You could have detoured this place, why would you walk into my tribe's campground?"
Chai tribe's Gu Masters were raging. Zhong tribe camp was placed at a tricky position, occupying the main road. It would be even more troublesome if Chai tribe was to take a detour; the way around had at least three myriad beast groups. Zhong tribe's action was intentionally extorting them.
"Zhong Fei You, aren't your actions too unsightly?" Chai Zhang gnashed his teeth.
Zhong Fei You shrugged his shoulders without concern, laughing coldly: "If your Chai tribe doesn't accept it, we can fight it out."
Cha tribe's Gu Masters' momentum slowed down.
Chai tribe was a small scale tribe while Zhong tribe had expanded into a mid-scale tribe two years ago.
Zhong tribe was strong; if they fought, Chai tribe would definitely suffer!
As the Chai tribe's leader, Chai Zhang was naturally clear of this. He had thought of retreating but three of these black skin fat beetles were holding their tribe's most precious goods.
These goods had been meticulously gathered and were what the Chai tribe wanted to use with, to side with Liu Wen Wu. If he had to give them up, Chai Zhang was of course very unwilling.
In the end, should he fight or retreat?
Just as the two sides were in a stalemate and Chai Zhang was hesitating, from far away wolf howls resounded.
Howl… Howl…
Wolf howls came one after another, endlessly. At the same time, the sounds of a large number of beasts rushing forward were also transmitted to everyone.
"This lineup…"
"Wolf group!"
"It is noon right now and the water wolves' nest is nearby, how could a wild wolf group come here?"
Zhong tribe and Chai tribe's people shifted their gaze towards the location of the sound, as if they were facing a great enemy.
They soon saw the majestic wolf army rushing towards them like a river, through the sparse jungle.
In this wolf group, there were strong night wolves, the defensive turtleback wolves, outstanding wind wolves and the white fur water wolves, which were the majority.
Different from other wolf groups, they were moving harmoniously like an army. There was only one reason for this.
Chai Zhang's heart thumped as he immediately thought of a person – Chang Shan Yin!
Zhong Fei You's expression became extremely unsightly.
Their Zhong tribe also wanted to side with Lord Liu Wen Wu, thus they were coveting after these goods of Chai tribe, but they had never thought someone would upset the whole situation at the crucial moment.
As the wolf group approached closer, the Gu Masters of the two tribes became restless.
"Such a large wolf group!" Someone could not help exclaiming in shock.
"Gasp… this scale, there are at least twenty eight thousand turtleback wolves, fifteen thousand night wolves, and the wind wolves are even more than the night wolves. The water wolves are the largest with about thirty two thousand." Someone drew in a cold breath and calculated the numbers with his rich experience.
The wolf group's size was really too big. They spread open grandly, forming a half-moon shaped formation and covering the two tribes.
Zhong tribe and Chai tribe's Gu Masters were instantly surrounded; and with the crescent lake behind them, they were in an unfavorable situation.
"Didn't they say Chang Shan Yin suffered huge losses after attacking Pei, Bei and Zheng tribes? Why does he still have so many wolves left?!" Chai Zhang's lips turned dry; the dense wolf group not only covered them, there were still many of them left who were hiding in the forest, their figures indistinct.
Zhong Fei You could not keep up his relaxed attitude from before. He looked at the large numbers of thousand beast kings and myriad beast kings among the wolf group; his heart stuck in his throat.
Enslavement path was different from other paths; they could change the situation with just a lone force.Normal enslavement path Gu Masters were already people who should not be underestimated, let alone Chang Shan Yin!
Zhong Fei You understood clearly that these wolf groups were enough to annihilate their Zhong tribe two-three times over and still have enough strength left!
Simply because they were in the wild with no obstacles to rely on. They did not have the walls of their camp, they were not in formation, they did not have time to rest and also no time to recover their primeval essence.
One hump wolf carrying Fang Yuan on its back leisurely walked out of the thin forest.
"Chang Shan Yin!" Zhong Fei You and Chai Zhang similarly called out.
In an instant, countless eyes gathered on Fang Yuan's face.
Fang Yuan expressionlessly rode on the hump wolf with his back upright just like Chang Shan Yin's habit.
His sharp gaze swept through everyone. He did not speak, but his closed lips was sufficient to display Chang Shan Yin's proud and aloof aura vividly.
Zhong tribe and Chai tribe's Gu Masters were silent. They only felt an enormous rock pressing down on their heart; the atmosphere seemed to freeze and made it difficult for them to breathe.
Especially when they thought of the Wolf King Chang Shan Yin challenging three tribes in one night, many started to shiver.
Pei, Bei and Zheng tribe had been mid-scale tribe for long time. While Chai tribe was only a small scale tribe and Zhong tribe had only advanced to mid-scale tribe not long ago.
Zhong Fei You and Chai Zhang glanced at each other, seeing the graveness and the intent to cooperate in each other's eyes.
The two were similarly agonized: Just now, they were both about to fight, and now they had the hearts to ally. This play of fate really made one not know whether to cry or laugh.
"Lord Chang Shan Yin, your fame is well known to me, Zhong Fei You…" Zhong Fei You gritted his teeth and bowed deeply towards Fang Yuan.
No one felt that the grand tribe leader Zhong Fei You's action was inappropriate. The other was Chang Shan Yin!
But Zhong Fei You had yet to finish speaking when Fang Yuan waved his hand and indifferently said: "All of you get lost, don't block me."
Zhong Fei You's eyes widened, his eyes showing an unconcealable humiliation.
But he did not retort and instead lowered his head, bowing towards Fang Yuan again before turning around to his Zhong tribesmen: "Retreat."
Chai Zhang discerned the situation and also immediately shouted: "We are also retreating."
Immediately, both the tribes started retreating far away.
Soon, the crowded lakeside only had the wolf groups and Fang Yuan, one person.
Of course, there were also those three slow moving black skin fat beetles.
Fang Yuan glanced at these three black skin fat beetles without interest. The things the two tribes were fighting for, did not have enough attractive force towards him.
He waved his hand and the water wolf group immediately rushed into the water, circling and attacking the water wolf nest here.

Chapter 495: Grey-white Stone Slab
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The water wolf den here had four thousand water wolves, it was a thousand beast group.
Although water wolves rarely stepped foot on land, when their homes were invaded, that would be another issue.
After sensing Fang Yuan's wolf group approaching, this group of wild water wolves attacked together, engaging with Fang Yuan's wolves.
Facing obstruction, Fang Yuan's wolf group stopped their movement.
But he snorted, activating wolf howl Gu, sending three groups of reinforcements to help.
The wild water wolves only managed to hold on for a moment before being unable to hold the pressure, immediately overwhelmed as they lost completely.
Far away.
"Tribe leader, our things are still there." A Chai tribe elder looked indignantly.
Chai tribe leader sighed deeply: "Nevermind, let it be, it is better than losing our lives."
"Shouldn't we stay and watch? A person like Chang Shan Yin, he might not be interested in these three black skin fat armor worms." Another Chai tribe elder was still hopeful.
But Chai Zhang understood the truth, he snorted: "If you are not worried about offending Chang Shan Yin and attracting his slaughter, then stay."
This Chai tribe elder's face froze.
"Hmph, this idea, do you think Zhong tribe can't think of it? Even if Chang Shan Yin doesn't want them, we will not be able to take these resources! Sigh, with such an expert like Chang Shan Yin here, we can't stay in crescent lake any longer, we should set off now, and leave quickly." Chai Zhang waved his hand, his tone filled with helplessness, but also anger and weakness.
Chai tribe was only a small size tribe, they were weak. Especially with the ten year blizzard approaching, as well as the fight for the Imperial Court, it will be an era of turmoil where northern plains is engulfed in battles and chaos.
A tribe like Chai tribe was like a tiny boat amidst the chaos, being blown by the winds and waves, they can only ride on weakly. Only by clinging onto a stronger force can they increase their chance of survival.
Chai tribe left after packing up, without a bit of delay.
A moment later, Zhong tribe's investigative Gu Master reported to Zhong Fei You with some afterfear: "Lord, Wolf King was victorious, with just a wave of his hand, he exterminated that wolf den. Out of the four thousand water wolves, he recruited three thousand, yet he only lost three hundred."
Zhong Fei You and the Zhong tribe higher-ups shuddered upon hearing this.
Such loss to gain ratio was terrifying! No wonder this Wolf King's wolf group could be replenished so quickly.
"Lord tribe leader, you did not see personally, Chang Shan Yin's manipulation was otherworldly, he is truly skilled!" Investigative Gu Master wiped the sweat off his forehead as he added.
Zhong Fei You snorted, refusing to put his own tribe down, shamelessly saying: "Chang Shan Yin has a water wolf myriad beast king. The leader of this group of wild wolves is only a thousand beast king. Once they battle, the water wolf group would face great suppression, their battle strength would be weakened. It is easy to recruit them because of them. What about those three black skin fat armor beetles?"
The investigative Gu Master answered: "They were all taken by Chang Shan Yin."
Zhong Fei You's expression turned ugly.
He tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it 1 , not only did he fail to get the resources, he even made an enemy out of Chai tribe.
Speaking of which, Chai tribe and Zhong tribe were in-laws, they had a close relationship. Otherwise, they would not have moved together, and when they set up camp, they chose to live closely to each other, to look out for one another.
But, the world is cruel.
Right now, the Imperial Court competition was not just about benefits for Zhong tribe and Chai tribe, it was about their survival.
Their relationship was only a method to defend their interests. When it was time to abandon the other, they would do so without hesitation.
In the main tent, there was a pressurizing silence.
Long after, Zhong Fei You sighed: "A person like Chang Shan Yin, even if we gather all our strength, we cannot compete against him. But northern plains is not his alone, there are three enslavement master stronger than him! We will note down this battle, and after we go to Lord Liu Wen Wu, one day, we will take revenge!"
Zhong tribe elders nodded in agreement.
Not long after, Zhong tribe set off as well.
Using a total of nine days, Fang Yuan led the wolf group that had expanded drastically in size back to Ge tribe camp.
Ge Guang led the Ge tribe higher-ups as he went out to welcome Fang Yuan back.
"Lord supreme elder, your cultivation recovered?!" When Ge Guang felt Fang Yuan's rank four peak stage aura, he was shocked and delighted.
Fang Yuan nodded, replying plainly: "It recovered, it was about time anyway."
Back then, Chang Shan Yin's cultivation was rank four peak stage. Later, he fought a grand battle with Ha Tu Gu and was injured to the point of nearing death, going into hibernation.
But now, Fang Yuan's first aperture had reached rank five peak stage. Even with northern plains' suppression, he still had rank five initial stage aura.
His current rank four peak stage aura was only due to the effect of breath concealment Gu.
As for his second aperture, because it first appeared in northern plains, there was no suppression and it was still rank three peak stage.
Keeping it secret for now, and then slowly releasing the aura, not only could be keep it as a trump card, he could even allow others to gradually accept his improvement without suspicion.
Fang Yuan followed the Ge tribe higher-ups back to camp.
Ge tribe camp was expanding, along the way, construction could be seen everywhere. Large numbers of mortal slaves or even Gu Master slaves were being mercilessly utilized.
Winner takes all, this was the cruelty of war, and also the beauty of it.
Ge tribe higher-ups were cheerful and joyous, after Ge tribe took down Bei tribe and Zheng tribe, they expanded greatly, as they tried to digest this new found force, the entire tribe's strength had increased greatly.
The biggest problem now is the lack of slavery Gu. If we had large numbers of slavery Gu, we could send these slave Gu Masters into battle. This will greatly increase our battle strength!" Ge Guang exclaimed.
Slavery Gu was a Gu worm that could control people.
But man is the spirit of all being , they were much harder to manipulate than beasts. The burden on the soul was greater, especially when enslaving Gu Masters with strong soul.
Thus, in general, a Gu Master rarely controlled more than five slaves. As for slave Gu Masters, the numbers were fewer. Normally, a Gu Master could only control one slave Gu Master, any more and the burden on their soul would be too much.
As for those slave Gu Masters with strong souls, to control them, one's soul had to be even stronger.
Fang Yuan naturally had the ability to get lots of slavery Gu.
But if he did so, he would expose many things. Ge tribe was only a chess piece in his plans, he did not need to worry for them to that extent.
"Next, I need to continue cultivating in seclusion. You will help me feed this wolf group." Fang Yuan spoke.
"Yes." Ge Guang quickly replied, but his heart was crying out.
Now that Ge tribe was expanding, they were facing a huge lack of manpower. The wolf group was too huge, the burden of feeding them would be great, this would expend a lot of labour for Ge tribe!
But Fang Yuan's next sentence made this young Ge tribe leader joyous —
"I brought a lot of resources back this time, they were obtained when I was hunting wolves. Use them as you wish, but remember, the things on those three black skin fat armor beetles are mine, safeguard them for me properly."
"Yes, Lord Supreme Elder!"
For the next few days, Fang Yuan stayed inside Ge tribe camp, cultivating bitterly in seclusion.
His second aperture's cultivation level needed to increase. Although he had thousand man soul, he still needed wolf soul Gu to strength himself, becoming a thousand man soul level wolfman soul.
At the same time, his strength path also needed improvement, he needed to continue using jun strength Gu.
When he needed to relax, he would take out the items on those three black skin fat armor beetles and inspect them.
These resources that Chai tribe painstakingly gathered were very strange, they were all grey-white stone slabs.
But the surface of these stone slabs were filled with black ink lines. Some were straight while others were curled, there were thin and thick lines. The lines were drawn over one another, some looked like letters while others looked like drawings of scenery.
If these stone slabs were real, that would be a huge deal. Tracing their source, they were from the immemorial era, Ren Zu's ninth daughter, Carefree Wisdom Heart.
states that in order to save wisdom Gu, Carefree Wisdom Heart came to the Qian Kun Crystal Wall.
Qian Kun Crystal Wall was straight from top to bottom, it floated in mid air like a giant mirror.
In the mirror, there was a book mountain.
On the book mountain, there was a ink waterfall, landing on the mountain rocks to form a literature spring.
The ink waterfall continued to flow, as it landed on the literature spring, water splashed about. These black color splashes flew in the air as the water droplets formed into words.
This was the origin of the hundred clan writing system in the Gu Master world.
After Qian Kun Crystal Wall was broken, it turned into numerous grey-white stone slabs.
Legends say that if one gathered all of the stone slabs, they could piece back Qian Kun Crystal Wall and the Gu Master would be able to enter book mountain again.
If one looked at the history of humanity, they would find that generations of Gu Masters, Gu Immortals, or even Immortal and Demon Venerables collected these stone slabs before.
Precisely so, large numbers of counterfeit stone slabs appeared quickly.
These fake stone slabs were indistinguishable to real stone slabs, unless the Gu Master was an experienced appraiser.
In history, the most authoritative and accomplished appraiser Gu Immortal was treasure yellow heaven's owner, Daoist Countless Treasure who owned treasure light Gu.
But even he could only identify them with an accuracy of seventy to eighty percent.
There were simply too many fake stone slabs, too many Gu Masters tried making fakes, even Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable himself.
Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable purposely created many fakes and scammed many Gu Immortals. The fakes that he made were very convincing, they could even surpass the real deal.
Fang Yuan had never thought of collecting all the stone slabs and restoring book mountain.
Even a rank nine Gu Venerable did not succeed, Fang Yuan had no such drive to waste his effort.
He was only resting now, and tried appraising these stone slabs.
In his previous life, he had trained his eyes to be discerning, he had also once sold and created these fake stone slabs.
Right now, he tried appraising these stone slabs, removing the fakes, it was a form of relaxation.
But unexpectedly, just when he was playing with one of the stone slabs, something happened.
This stone slab that he had evaluated to be a fake, after Fang Yuan injected his primeval essence, the ink lines started to move mystically.

Chapter 496: Di Qiu Inheritance
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The ink lines changed and morphed randomly, after a long while, it settled and formed a terrain map.
At the center of the map, there was a heightened land. There were no cliffs as the slope was very gentle, there was an opening that resembled a tunnel.
On this place, two words were indicated — Di Qiu.
All around Di Qiu, there were swamps and forests, at the southwest corner, there was a river.
At the lower area of the map, there were four lines — "light in the soil, shine up to a hundred thousand feet high, swimming in the sky for a hundred li, praising plum fragrant snow."
Fang Yuan muttered it silently, but after a long time, he had no idea what it was saying 1 .
These four lines were like poems, or not. They sounded like Gu recipes, but unlikely.
But Fang Yuan was sure about one thing, these four riddle-like lines were definitely clues left behind on purpose.
More amazingly, after the map formed for a while, it faded from the grey-white stone slab.
Soon, this stone slab in Fang Yuan's hands turned white, there was nothing left on it.
But when Fang Yuan closed his eyes, he could easily recall every detail on this map, at an extreme clarity.
This was not his outstanding memory, instead —
"Painting idea Gu. A painting idea Gu was once used on this stone slab. This Gu can turn into scenery images and etch itself into a Gu Master's memory, so that they will never forget it."
Light of comprehension flashed across Fang Yuan's eyes.
Evidently, this was an inheritance that a Gu Master left behind.
In order to appraise these stone slabs, Fang Yuan had taken many crystal clear Gu, sunshine Gu, moonshine Gu etc from Ge tribe's inventory.
Just earlier, he had used these Gu worms and injected his primeval essence skillfully to test them.
These methods were unique ways to appraise grey-white stone slabs.
In the end, these methods became the key to activating the secret of this stone slab.
"The Gu Master who created this stone slab counterfeit not only used painting idea Gu, he also used other Gu worms to form this effect. This is an inheritance from a Gu Master, in order to find the inheritor, he spent quite a bit of effort."
Fang Yuan smiled, to think that under such a situation, he obtained the clues to a Gu Master's inheritance.
Inheritance was one of the cultural identity of this world.
Be it righteous or demonic Gu Masters, they would choose to create an inheritance, to leave behind an imprint unique to them in this world.
Although he was lucky to receive clues about this inheritance, Fang Yuan did not show much joy.
In his previous five hundred years, he had encountered many of such situations, he was used to it.
Most Gu Masters would leave their inheritances behind.
Therefore, inheritances were always in ample numbers. There were Gu Immortal inheritances, rank four or rank five Gu Master inheritances, these were the truly valuable ones. But there were also many rank two or three inheritances, even those made by rank one Gu Masters.
With the passing of time and natural or man-made disasters, many Gu Masters often leave disappointed when exploring an inheritance.
Some inheritances were destroyed long ago. Others were already taken by the time someone found it. For some inheritances, they were demonic inheritances, traps created by someone meticulously, those mentally twisted Gu Masters who wanted to take revenge on the world before dying.
"I am too busy right now, I cannot abandon my plans for such a vague inheritance. Moreover, with just this map, where am I going to find that 'Di Qiu' place anyway."
Getting Di Qiu inheritance map was only a tiny accident, Fang Yuan quickly forgot about it.
In the following days, he continued cultivating while refining Gu.
From what he gained from the two tribes, he saw an improved recipe and found it interesting.
Taking out a few Gu worms from Ge tribe's warehouse, he spent a few days, and after failing twice, he refined the rank three eagle wings to the rank four eagle rise Gu.
Speaking of which, this eagle wings Gu was nearly unused in his hands. After Fang Yuan left poison grassland, he came to Hong Yan valley and reached Ge tribe camp. When he walked around the few markets that were set up during his stay, he bought it.
Wolf King Chang Shan Yin was not a flying expert. Fang Yuan would not use this master level technique easily.
This was a trump card, once he used it, it would shock the world.
Chang Shan Yin went missing for more than ten years, it was easy to make an excuse. Who knows what opportunities and inheritances he came across during the years, why couldn't he become a flying expert?
A few days after refining eagle rise Gu, Ge Guang visited Fang Yuan personally and brought the latest news with him.
"Ma tribe had completely absorbed Fei tribe, and became Tian Chuan heroes assembly's main character…"
"At Meng Qiu heroes assembly, Nu Er tribe's representative is a rank five Gu Master Nu Er Tu."
"Cao Fu's Zhao tribe? Mm, that Zhao Lian Yun, Ma Hong Yun's wife, the wondrous woman who became a wisdom path Gu immortal in the future, is only a young innocent girl now."
"No matter what, Ma tribe gained so much attention now, they definitely planning something big, to fight for the coveted throne of the Lord of the Imperial Court. This is the same as in my previous life's memories. But will Ma Hong Yun appear?"
Fang Yuan thought about it as he recalled.
He could vaguely remember that during this contest, Ma tribe showed outstanding strength, especially during the start, they had strong troops and high morale, they defeated many strong foes.
But a tall tree is the first to face destruction, soil that is nearest to the water will be the first to be swept away by the currents.
Ma tribe gained too much attention, they were targeted by experienced tribes of the Huang Jin family, after several tough battles, although they won, they had great losses and were weakened.
Eventually, Ma tribe was forced by Hei Lou Lan, facing encirclement. Hei tribe had a great number of people, but Ma tribe had fortified defense, they were able to protect themselves.
Hei Lou Lan brought his troops personally but was unable to gain victory, seeing the approaching blizzard, he had to relent.
After Ma tribe submitted to Hei tribe, they gained the rights to enter the Imperial Court. Ma Hong Yun, with his absurd luck, also managed to get in.
Precisely because he used this opportunity, he obtained the partial inheritance of an Immortal Venerable inside the Eighty-Eight Edge Treasure Building, which became the foundation for his rise in the future.
At this moment, Ge Guang spoke, asking Fang Yuan: "Lord Supreme Elder, most of the heroes assembly are taking place fervently now. Our Yu Tian heroes assembly also has many experts and competitors, engaging in fierce competition. Among them, Liu Wen Wu and Hei Lou Lan are the two tribes with the greatest strength, the other forces cannot compete with them."
"Right now, only our tribe is still left in crescent lake. Even the large-sized tribes have set off for Yu Tian, to attend the heroes assembly. After these days of recuperating, we have already digested most of our battle spoils, and stabilized the situation. If we don't set off now, we might not make it in time."
Fang Yuan nodded.
The heroes assembly was a place where forces probed each other and created powerful alliances.
Although Ge tribe gained strength quickly, they were only a mid-sized tribe. If they did not attend the heroes assembly, and detached themselves from the rules of the game, they would be ostracised, that had a huge impact on them.
Although Ge tribe leader was Ge Guang, every since Fang Yuan took the role of supreme elder, his decision was already the number one priority of Ge tribe.
During these days, Ge Guang and the other higher-ups were starting to get anxious.
They did not have Fang Yuan's memories, they did not know that during this Yu Tian heroes assembly, there would be a huge contest, and thus it ended the latest.
Fang Yuan had made his arrangements in light of this.
He waved his hand, saying to Ge Guang: "Although the tribe has stabilized, that is only on the surface. In the dark, there are still many people whose hearts are not with us. If we really went to battle, even with a mid-sized tribe's scale, we would not be able to unleash the corresponding strength."
Ge Guang lowered his head, listening to Fang Yuan's teachings patiently.
Fang Yuan continued: "Yu Tian heroes assembly's contest has just entered the climax. We are in no rush to get there. For now, we are going to onion valley."
"Onion valley?" Ge Guang showed some confusion.
Onion valley was a place like crescent lake, it was a wide valley overgrown with green onions, it was a unique habitat.
There, large numbers of beast groups lived, at a larger scale than crescent lake. of course, there were countless wild Gu worms.
Among them, there was the extremely famous rank two Gu, onion explosion Gu.
This Gu looked like an onion, but it was not green or white, instead it was red like fire. Once activated, it would emit an intense odor.
When wild beasts smell it, they would turn irascible, showing their wild nature, they would be more likely to attack people.
Thus, onion valley was much more dangerous than crescent lake.
Why did he want to go to such a dangerous place instead of attending the heroes assembly?
But soon, Fang Yuan said his reason: "Very long ago, I bred some wolves in onion valley, after these years of growing, they should've matured and expanded."
"So that's it!" Ge Guang's eyes shone.
It was very resource expending to nurture an enslavement path Gu Master, just the food needed to feed their wild beasts daily was an astronomical figure.
These days, in order to take care of Fang Yuan's wolves, Ge tribe had expended a lot of their resources, causing Ge Guang to wince in pain and have a clear understanding of this.
Thus, many enslavement path Gu Master would choose to let beast groups grow on their own.
They would choose some appropriate locations and leave some beasts behind as the seeds.
Once in a while, they would go to check their growth, if the beast group expanded, they would have profited.
Of course, the chances of having gains was low, in most situations, the beast groups would shrivel, or even get exterminated.
But even so, most enslavement path Gu Masters would choose to do so.
After all, enslavement path was a huge burden on resources. How many moral Gu Master could be like Fang Yuan, sending their beast groups into the blessed land?
After Fang Yuan said that, Ge Guang immediately understood.
"After so many years, the wolf king is still around, but I do not know how many wolves there are left. But this time when we attend the heroes assembly, the more wolves there are, the better it is for us. We will have greater authority and voice if our wolf group is larger."
Hearing Fang Yuan's words, Ge Guang nodded, agreeing: "Lord Supreme Elder is right, then when do we set off?"
"Today." Fang Yuan said.

Chapter 497: Mo Shi Kuang
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
The sky was pure and azure, and the ground was like a sea of jade.
The soil here was especially fertile with water plants growing lushly, reaching up to a man's knee.
This was the famous Yu Tian of Northern Plains, reputed as one of the most abundant pasturelands. Now, people were gathering here with their banners fluttering in the wind.
Yu Tian's heroes assembly had already lasted for half a month.
In the first week, every tribe was shouting their own slogans, causing clamor and disturbance. But gradually, all the forces began to join up through alliances. And now, the two strongest forces remained.
One side was Liu tribe's Liu Wen Wu and another was Hei tribe's Hei Lou Lan.
At this moment, the two sides were valiantly confronting each other.
In the center of the people was built a spacious battle stage.
In the battle stage, two Northern Plains' Gu Masters were having an intense battle; both of them with rank four cultivation.
Outside the stage, everyone was looking at the battle intensely. Battles at tribe leader levels were not something they normally had a chance to observe.
Especially the two people on the stage; one righteous and another demonic, both were famous characters and had deep hatred against each other!
"Water Demon, hand over your life!" The middle aged Gu Master in the battle stage shouted and stamped his foot, jumping into the air.
In the air, he took a deep breath then breathed out a basket-sized dark flame towards his opponent.
Water Demon Hao Ji Liu's heart gave warning signs.
His eyes flashed with blue light as he crazily poured his yellow gold primeval essence into water wall Gu.
"Rise!"
He raised his two palms from bottom to top; his movement looked heavy as if he was lifting a weight of ten thousand catties.
Following his movement, boundless water vapor formed into a blue waterfall that rose up from the ground.
The waterfall charged up in reverse and then came down, forming an arch of thick water wall.
The dark flames slowly fell onto the water wall and was immediately extinguished.
"Huh?" The spectators were stunned. They were just about to ridicule Water Demon for making a big fuss over nothing, when suddenly the spark with only a bit of light left in it suddenly exploded!
BOOM!!!
The deafening explosion was like the crackling of the thunder.
Great amounts of flames rushed forth and evaporated the thick water wall into water vapor.
The strong impact created a frantic wind that rapidly spread everywhere.
But the storm could not get out of the stage. There were Gu Masters standing around the battle stage, activating their defensive Gu to form a round barrier that firmly guarded the stage.
"Such terrifying skill!"
"Such intense explosion has already neared the effect of a rank five Gu. This killer move has all along been concealed by Fire Prodigal Chai Ming!"
"Although Water Demon detected it, he still underestimated Lord Chai Ming's attack."
As the shocks from the explosion started to dull down, everyone started discussing and making a din with their gaze concentrating on the battle stage.
Even Hei Lou Lan and Liu Wen Wu were unable to take their eyes off.
But within the round light barrier, water vapor caused the stage to become a scene of white, making people unable to see clearly.
Everyone patiently waited and when the water vapor dispersed, Chai Ming was still standing tall on the stage while gasping and looking at the body under his foot: "Water Demon, did you think a day like this would come when you killed my father that year?!"
Water Demon Hao Ji Liu spurted out mouthfuls of blood showing a pained expression under Chai Ming's step.
"Hahaha, it is our win!"
"Lord Chai Ming is mighty!"
The spectators were dazed for a while before the side belonging to Liu Wen Wu burst out with extremely loud cheers.
On the other hand, on Hei Lou Lan's side, some onlookers were silent, while others had twitching mouths.
"Brother Lou Lan, you let me win 1 ." Liu Wen Wu stood up from his seat and cupped his fists towards Hei Lou Lan with a smile, showing an elegant demeanour.
Hei Lou Lan looked like he had not expected this result as he coldly snorted. Just as he was about to say few words to keep up with the formalities…
Whoosh!
A soft sound sounded out, and Chai Ming looked towards his chest in shock.
A sharp water blade protruded out of his heart.
He looked back slowly to see his enemy Hao Ji Liu malevolently smiling towards him with his face full of blisters from the fire.
"This is the real body, then under my foot is…." Chai Ming was full of doubts.
Bang.
Coincidentally at this time, the 'Hao Ji Liu' under his feet turned into a pool of water and dispersed.
"It is water image Gu!" someone exclaimed.
"Water image Gu is a rare rank four Gu, but Water Demon clearly used many other methods to make his water image look so lifelike."
The sounds beside his ears allowed Chai Ming to understand the reason for his defeat.
"Despicable…." He said the last word of his life and died with an extremely indignant heart.
"Lord Chai Ming!" Many people cried out in sorrow.
"Brother!!" Chai tribe leader cried out with tears rapidly flowing down his eyes.
"Hahaha…" Hei Lou Lan threw his head back and laughed loudly without concealing his joy in the slightest. He raised his thumb towards the Water Demon, "Hao Ji Liu, you did great! Come, drink this wine!"
"Many thanks for lord's reward." Water Demon walked off the stage while grimacing in pain from the burns that were all over his body, but still accepted the cup of wine and drank it in one shot.
"Great wine!" He gave a flattering smile and returned the wine cup to Hei Lou Lan.
Although everyone disdained his shamelessness, his strength was displayed in front of them and with adding in his evil reputation, no one ridiculed or mocked him.
Hei Lou Lan waved his hand and spoke with his coarse and boorish voice: "Take this cup as a reward too. Yan Cui Er, come, bring me a new cup and pour me the best wine!"
Following his beckoning, a beautiful young girl in gorgeous attire obediently walked forward and places several wine cups in the table in front of Hei Lou Lan, then gracefully poured wine.
She was the eldest daughter of Yan tribe, Liu Wen Wu's fiancee; kidnapped by Water Demon Hao Ji Liu, she was offered to Hei Lou Lan as a meeting gift.
Hei Lou Lan hurriedly brought Yan Cui Er with him to the heroes assembly as an attack against Liu Wen Wu.
"Young master Liu, you can't win against me. Why not admit defeat and I shall return your fiancee to you?" Hei Lou Lan drank the wine in one shot and boorishly wiped off the wine that dropped to his beard.
"Hehehe, why does a man have to worry about having no wife? This girl is beautiful, but how could she replace the ambition inside my heart? Brother Lou Lan, haven't you heard of the old saying that women are like clothes while brothers are like our hands and feet ? Since brother Lou Lan likes her, feel free to have her." Liu Wen Wu chuckled, showing not even a bit of anger.
"Young master Liu is really ambitious!"
"Young master Liu Wen Wu is a true man of our Northern Plains."
"Right, only such a person is worthy for us to follow!"
Liu tribe's side spoke one after another in support of Liu Wen Wu. Since it was a woman, they were not moved and did not have any thoughts of retorting.
This was the tradition of Northern Plains, regarding men as superior to women; w omen are like clothes and brothers are like hands and feet — this saying was said by none other than Giant Sun Immortal Venerable.
The bloodlines that Giant Sun Immortal Venerable had passed on was collectively called as Huang Jin family.
Huang Jin family held the supreme authority in Northern Plains and also followed the old ancestor's tradition.
Since Liu Wen Wu could compete with Hei Lou Lan on equal terms, he was naturally not somebody easy to deal with. His words were instead secretly ridiculing Hei Lou Lan's lustful and unambitious nature, giving him an appearance that he was not infatuated with the mortal affairs.
Hei Lou Lan furiously snorted: "Your Liu tribe has always been able to talk well. But so what? Come come come, we will send our people on the stage and have a match!"
Liu Wen Wu's expression immediately changed a little.
Rather than Yan Cui Er, this was his greatest weak spot.
In the previous nine matches, he only won three matches and lost many experts. In the battle just before, he even lost the rank four expert Fire Prodigal Chai Ming.
Now, Hei Lou Lan was inviting him for battle again, and he had no choice but to accept.
If he did not accept, it would show his cowardice. The men of the Northern Plains despised a cowardly master the most.
But if he accepted, he was sure to lose more than win.
"Damn it, this bastard is intentionally challenging me to weaken my elite battle forces. But I cannot show weakness in the heroes assembly. Who should I send this time?"
Liu Wen Wu inwardly gritted his teeth, his gaze sweeping beside him.
There were people from both righteous and demonic path who had sided with him, with no lack of famous characters. But at this moment, they did not dare to meet Liu Wen Wu's gaze and either lowered their head or gazed far away.
Right as Liu Wen Wu's subordinates were feeling awkward, a loud voice came from a distance: "Big brother, no need to worry, send me!"
"Third brother has come." Liu Wen Wu was very happy at the voice.
The crowd parted and created a passage. The person who walked through the path caused everyone to be surprised.
This person was tall with a beefed up body, a fierce mouth and wide nose, skin as dark as ink, with snowy white lush hair and beard that seemed to blend together like a lion's mane.
The white hair and black skin was such an unusual appearance that caused the crowd to be dazed for a while before someone exclaimed, revealing this person's identity – "This person — is an inkman!"
Rockman, eggman, hairy man and inkman were not Ren Zu's descendants but variant men.
Inkman was also recorded in the Legends of Ren Zu. Their homeland was the Book Mountain.
The book mountain had an Ink Waterfall which would crash down on the Literature Spring, and the raging ink would fall on the rocks, forming inkmen.
"Big brother, little brother is late!" This inkman walked to the center of the site and bowed deeply towards Liu Wen Wu.
"Not late, not late. You came at a good time." Liu Wen Wu patted the inkman's shoulder and introduced him to everyone, "Everyone, this is Mo Shi Kuang, whom I have sworn brotherhood to at my early years."
"Mo Shi Kuang…. Young master Liu really has good vision, fooling around with an insignificant variant man. Alright, let my Viper Prince exchange moves with your brother."
From Hei Lou Lan's side, a male Gu Master with triangular eyes walked out.
"Come." Viper Prince walked to the battle stage and beckoned Mo Shi Kuang with his finger.
Mo Shi Kuang was provoked by this action and immediately jumped to the stage in fury: "Die!"
He clapped his two palms.
BOOM!
An invisible force swept everything, crushing towards viper prince without any obstacle.
"What? Qi path!? Rank four peak stage!! Shit…" Viper Prince could not even finish speaking before he was crushed into minced meat which then splattered everywhere.
The result was decided with one move.
Gasp…
The sounds of sucking in cold breath resounded in the air.

Chapter 498: Wolf Howl
Translator: ChibiGeneral Editor: ChibiGeneral
Hei Lou Lan looked at Mo Shi Kuang with a gloomy face.
He had a bad premonition when Mo Shi Kuang stepped on the stage, but when Mo Shi Kuang smashed Viper Prince into minced meat with one move, Hei Lou Lan's heart turned heavy.
Mo Shi Kuang was a rank four peak stage expert and cultivated Qi path.
Humans were the spirit of all living beings and could awaken their aperture through hope Gu.
Since variant men had the 'man' word on them, they naturally had higher spirituality than beasts. But this spirituality was much less than humans. Thus, only few variant men could achieve such accomplishments in cultivating.
The absolute majority of the variant men would never awaken their aperture in their whole life, only a few fortunate ones could.
Only the fortunate among these fortunate ones could achieve success in cultivation.
This Mo Shi Kuang was one such special case.
"No wonder Liu Wen Wu made friends with Mo Shi Kuang, if it were me, I will also be willing to make friends with such a rank four peak stage expert." Realization dawned upon many people.
"Hey, the black-skinned fatty over there, is it you who wants to oppose my big brother? Come come, send your experts, let me slap your lackeys flat!" Mo Shi Kuang patted his chest and shouted loudly, a heroic aura showed in his boorish manner.
"Black-skinned fatty…" Hei Lou Lan's eyelids twitched and was extremely angry, 'Although I am fat, am I as black as you? This black boor is really hateful!"
"Hei Xiu Yi." Hei Lou Lan lightly called, his calm voice holding within a burning rage.
"Here!" A thin man immediately responded.
"Go teach this guy a lesson."
"Yes, lord tribe leader." Hei Xiu Yi agreed expressionlessly and unhurriedly walked.
His gaze was as indifferent as ice. As he walked, a black light blossomed over his whole light. The black light condensed and formed an armor that firmly covered him.
Next, a dim green halo flew over his head.
Fifty-six flying bone shields flew out and hovered beside him, completely shielding him.
Similarly, nine greyish-blue ghost faces whimpered and hovered around him.
By the time he stepped on the stage, he was completely armed and protected.
The crowd was in a clamor, Hei Lou Lan's words were very imposing but he actually sent a defensive Gu Master to bring out Mo Shi Kuang's trump cards.
"Ahahahaha." Mo Shi Kuang was instead very happy, "You are a guy asking for a beating, come, eat my punch!"
The moment he finished speaking, his right hand clenched into a fist and fiercely punched at Hei Xiu Yi.
Instantly, his fist strength condensed into a thick fist qi which fiercely slammed at Hei Xiu Yi who was dozen of steps away.
If it was someone else, just this punch would leave them handicapped if not dead.
But Hei Xiu Yi forcibly took on this punch; his upper body shook a bit, but his lower body did not move in the slightest.
"Good!" Mo Shi Kuang was very happy at this. He was different from ordinary inkmen, and was extremely addicted to fighting. He became thrilled at this moment and shouted, "Again!"
He slowly took off to the air, his snow-white hair swaying loosely with the air. After pulling open a distance from Hei Xiu Yi, he started to punch rapidly.
The punch shadows rained down like a torrential rain, the translucent fist qi shooting towards Hei Xiu Yi.
ORA ORA ORA!!!!
The fist qi exploded on Hei Xiu Yi's armor, producing a sound like that of thunder crackling.
But Hei Xiu Yi was like a giant reef that would stand tall no matter how many sea waves struck it.
The fifty six flying bone shields dispelled most of the force on him.
Some bits and pieces of fist qi struck at his black iron like armor, but it was of no use.
The scattered qi flow was absorbed completely by the nine ghost faces.
When Mo Shi Kuang's crazed attacks stopped, the halo above Hei Xiu Yi let out a dim green light and shone down upon the flying bone shield, completely repairing the cracks in the shields.
"Let me return this to you." Hei Xiu Yi sneered; the nine ghost faces opened their mouths together and spurted out dozens of fist qi.
Shockingly, Mo Shi Kuang's attack was returned back to him in full.
Mo Shi Kuang was dazed at the dozens of fist qi; the fist qi exploded on him one after another and he crashed down to the ground.
"Hahaha, rank four peak stage is nothing outstanding." Immediately, someone shouted outside the stage.
"Young master!" A person beside Liu Wen Wu nervously shouted, "Hei Xiu Yi is one of the three commanders of the black banner troops; a rank four upper stage Gu Master specialized in defense. Should we call Mo Shi Kuang back?"
"Don't worry." Liu Wen Wu was not worried and instead had a joyful smile as he looked at Hei Lou Lan then at Hei Xiu Yi at the stage, "My third brother is extremely addicted to fighting. The stronger the opponent is, the more excited he becomes. Hehe, watch the show unfold now."
"Hahaha… refreshing, so refreshing." Mo Shi Kuang suddenly let out a crazed laughter and jumped up from the ground.
His eyes turned as red as fire and he looked at Hei Xiu Yi with a burning gaze.
"You are somewhat interesting, worthy of me using half my strength." Mo Shi Kuang said earnestly.
Hei Xiu Yi was naturally not happy: "Hmph, boastful guy, give me all you've got!"
"HAAAAAAH!" Mo Shi Kuang's body shook, an intense inhuman aura like that of lions or bears erupted from his body, oppressing everyone's hearts.
Whoosh!
He rushed to the sky with overflowing might like that of a demon god, and lifted his right leg.
"Here it comes!" He excitedly shouted and kicked his right leg towards Hei Xiu Yi.
Whoosh!
The sound of the wind suddenly whirled and boundless air condensed into an enormous foot.
This foot was nearly transparent and was as big as a small hill. It crashed down rapidly with an incomparably violent momentum.
"Such an attack!" For a moment, not only Hei Xiu Yi, but Hei Lou Lan and others all stared with their eyes wide open.
"Defend, use all your strength!!" The several rank three Gu Masters who were in charge of defending the site, shouted one after another.
The enormous foot stamped down; Hei Xiu Yi gritted his teeth and immediately sent his fifty-six flying bone shields to take it on.
But the flying bone shields could not last for even a second and were smashed by the foot!
Next, the enormous foot smashed down like a mountain.
The green halo was instantly broken, the nine ghost faces did their best to absorb the force but could only weaken one-tenth of it before dispersing.
The chaotic air flow could not even scatter before it was suppressed by the enormous foot.
Hei Xiu Yi felt an irresistible force heavily pressing down on his spine. He wanted to resist, but was powerless and within a few breaths of time, was pressed down to the ground.
The black iron armor which had made him famous was crushed to pieces by the huge force.
Crack…
The sounds of his bones breaking continuously entered his ears and large amounts of blood flowed out of his seven facial orifices.
The huge force was still spreading towards the surroundings. Several defensive Gu Masters had to sacrifice their lives to maintain the light barrier and not let it collapse.
After the dust dispersed, Hei Xiu Yi was lying on the ground like a dead dog, motionless and at his last breath.
Hei Lou Lan's expression paled as he stood up immediately. Hei Xiu Yi was part of his direct family line and was one of the three commanders of the black banner troops; without him, black banner troop's battle strength would fall by at least twenty percent. At the same time, Hei Xiu Yi was Hei tribe's supreme elder's grand-nephew's son, so this was a matter of utmost concern.
Hei Lou Lan had never expected Mo Shi Kuang to be so strong; his strike could almost jump realms and challenge rank five Gu Masters.
Hei Xiu Yi could not be lost, Hei Lou Lan immediately sent orders: "Bring back Hei Xiu Yi!"
Immediately, two rank three Gu Masters rushed forward.
The defensive Gu Masters hesitated but not wanting to offend Hei Lou Lan, they did not block the way, instead loosening up the barrier.
"Lord, this Hei Lou Lan is extremely shameless, actually is trying to break the rules! Let me go too!" A Liu tribe elder shouted in indignation.
Liu Wen Wu, however, just chuckled: "Nothing to worry, let them experience the power of my sworn brother."
"A group of scoundrels!" Mo Shi Kuang shouted in fury before waving forward with his right fist.
He seemed to be dragging a thousand jun of weight as he moved his hand, giving a feeling of slow exertion of power.
An enormous arm made of qi – fifty feet in length and ten feet wide – rapidly formed under everyone's dumbstruck gaze.
Whoosh…
The qi arm produced a sound like that of a roaring dragon or tiger and also seemed like a hurricane that would blow away everything.
The enormous qi arm fiercely swept across in a wild and unrestrained manner; if it came across mountains, it would break them, and if it came across seas, it would split them!
The two rank three Gu Masters that came to rescue Hei Xiu Yi were like flies as they were swept flying by the enormous qi arm.
The qi arm then swept outside the stage, causing sounds of shocks and screams to resound.
Many spectating Gu Masters who were not able to dodge in time were smashed into minced meat by the qi arm. Hei Lou Lan and his group hurriedly retreated to avoid the brunt of the attack.
"Courting death!"
"Kill him!"
"He actually attacked us, let's attack him together!!"
Hei Lou Lan and his group who avoided the brunt of the attack, made their moves one after another and immediately shattered the qi arm.
"Hahaha, more!" Mo Shi Kuang did not show a hint of fear in facing so many Gu Masters, and instead became even more happy, his battle intent burning high.
He advanced instead of retreating like a tiger that had came out of the mountain, his beard fluttering as he charged towards Hei Lou Lan and the group.
"Not good, third brother has gone berserk again." Liu Wen Wu could not remain calm anymore, he waved his hand, "Everyone, follow me to reinforce third brother!"
Liu tribe's side also entered the battle; heroes assembly immediately turned into a chaotic mess, an unprecedented large chaotic battle suddenly unfolded.
Mo Shi Kuang rampaged here and there in the battlefield, and Hei Lou Lan along with his group smoothly grabbed Hei Xiu Yi and retreated. Chai tribe's Gu Masters charged towards Water Demon Hao Ji Liu, and the heavily injured Hao Ji Liu could only flee here and there…
It was chaos.
"Shit! This is only the heroes assembly, we absolutely cannot have such a battle and suffer huge losses, if so how will we vie for the Imperial Court?"
"What to do? Even if our side wins, it will be a miserable victory!"
Liu Wen Wu and Hei Lou Lan felt the situation was far from good, they tried to stop it but it was in vain.
Howl!
Right at this moment, an intensely desolate wolf howl spread from far away, manifesting the presence of a beast emperor.
Howl!
Countless wolf howls followed soon after. The howling merged into a grand and majestic howl that resounded all over heaven and earth!
