Chapter 148: Recruiting Bai Ning Bing
"Secluded domain of heaven and earth — City Well, I have finally regained it!" Fang Yuan sighed.
Next he went inside City Well and looted the whole battlefield.
After doing this Fang Yuan used an immortal killer move using pulling mountain as the core and placed City Well inside his sovereign immortal aperture and left.
Next he moved to the tributary of the River of Time owned by Shadow Sect and waited there.
Several days later, Fang Yuan waited for Immortal Hua Die to arrive.
"There is a trace of the River of Time indeed, it is very recent!" Immortal Hua Die inspected and felt overjoyed.
"Chu Ying, we have truly troubled you. To think that you really found this tributary of the River of Time, we searched for decades without finding any useful clues!" Immortal Hua Die was very excited, she could finally give Miao Ming Shen good news.
"Go ahead and track it. I do not need any compensation, I might need Lord Miao Ming Shen's help in the future. I will take my leave."
Before leaving, she advised again: "Be careful, blood path demonic immortal Ding Qi has appeared, engaging in battle with Zhou Li and Tang Song. If you meet them, you should avoid them, there is no need to get involved in this."
"Fairy, I will remember your words, thank you." Fang Yuan showed a moved expression.
Half a month later.
Fang Yuan returned to Lang Ya blessed land.
In the cloud city's secret room, Fang Yuan quietly sat as he used perceivable dao Immortal Gu on himself.
After using perceivable dao Immortal Gu Fang Yuan found the amount of all his dao marks.
The greatest number were in snow path and ice path dao marks, reaching a total of eighteen thousand!
Below ice and snow path, the second highest quantity of dao marks belonged to luck path, it had sixteen thousand!
Below luck path dao marks were sound path dao marks, around fourteen thousand.
Below that was blood path dao marks, about thirteen thousand of them.
Rule path dao marks had thirteen thousand, water path dao marks were around twelve thousand, transformation path and strength path summed up to ten thousand.
Other than that, there was an assortment of other paths, haphazardly mixed in.
A few days later.
Fang Yuan left Lang Ya blessed land, using the super Gu formation to teleport out.
Next, he rushed to Earth Trench without stopping, choosing an appropriate location to place his immortal aperture.
Immortal tribulation tempering aperture!
Fang Yuan successfully activated this immortal killer move.
Next, he opened his immortal aperture's entrance, as heaven and earth qi rushed in.
Soon, the fifth earthly calamity formed.
The sky turned dark, a huge skeletal shadow covered up half of the sky.
Earthly calamity — Corrosive Dark Current!
After some difficulties Fang Yuan successfully passed his fifth earthly calamity.
Next he disguised his sword path clone Fang Zheng as Chu Du and ordered him to defend Hei Fan grotto-heaven against Heavenly Lord Bai Zu.
The following events played out just like Fang Yuan's previous life except this time Fang Zheng was disguised as Chu Du and did all the work.
At the same time in Southern Border, Sun Crown Mountain.
The bright moon was radiating over the entire mountain.
"Who else?" Ye Fan stood arrogantly, his arms were crossed in front of his chest, he was standing on a huge rock.
Opposite him, a group of Gu Masters were shivering, hesitating.
"Ye Fan, you were chased out by your clan, you are also a lone cultivator. We are also lone cultivators, why are you making life hard for us?" A Gu Master spoke.
Ye Fan sneered: "Before we fought, all of you sought to overwhelm me with numbers, why did you not say that? Also, are you considered lone cultivators? Dominating this mountain and plundering the surroundings, as Gu Masters, you bully the weak and fear the strong, you slaughter and humiliate mortals. You are all vicious fiends, you are demonic cultivators, you are not lone cultivators!"
"We are innocent. The ringleader and main culprit has already died at your hands, we were forced to comply."
"Also, ever since we submitted to boss White Demon, we have stopped committing crimes!"
The Gu Masters cried out.
Ye Fan's expression eased.
"Hmph, if not for this, you would all be dead now, how could I let you live?" Ye Fan snorted, he continued: "I represent Shang clan, I need to get through Sun Crown and Silent Flow Mountain, I will wait here, get White Demon to come and see me. Otherwise, tomorrow, I will slaughter everyone here!"
But the moment he said that, he heard an icy voice resound: "No need to call them, because I am here already."
Saying so, more than ten figures appeared partway up the mountain.
The demons saw this and cheered loudly: "Boss White Demon! Boss White Demon has come to save us!"
Ye Fan watched with caution, he saw that all of the people who came were Gu Masters, they were stronger than the ones on Sun Crown Mountain. Among them, there were many demonic path and lone cultivators, there were also several famous people with their own unique traits.
"Boss White Demon, we have tried our best to defend, we waited for you so desperately. You have finally arrived." At this time, a demonic path Gu Master tumbled and crawled towards Bai Ning Bing, calling out loudly as he showed a fawning expression.
"You, who avoided the enemy and refused to fight, deserve death." Bai Ning Bing opened her eyes slightly, blue light flashed in her eyes as that kneeling Gu Master froze completely at the next moment, he was beyond dead.
"As expected of a demon! You even kill your own men!" Ye Fan shouted, jumping down the rock, staring at Bai Ning Bing angrily.
Bai Ning Bing smiled lightly, stretching out her jade finger, pointing lightly at Ye Fan.
At that moment, Ye Fan felt a cold sensation, covering his left leg.
He looked down, only to see that on his left leg, a huge piece of ice had instantly formed.
"What move is this? I had already used my defensive killer move, but it could not block it at all?!" Ye Fan was extremely shocked.
"Come, even if I die, I will only die in the battlefield!" Ye Fan shouted, his eyes were shining with a threatening light.
The demons licked their lips, they gritted their teeth, they were going to charge up, wanting to kill Ye Fan and cut him into pieces.
But Bai Ning Bing suddenly said: "Isn't it too boring to directly kill him? Go one by one."
After spending so much time with Bai Ning Bing, a demonic path expert who knew of her personality stepped up with shining eyes: "Since Boss White Demon wants to watch a show, allow me to kill this person, as long as the boss is happy, it will be our fortune."
Ye Fan was in a desperate situation, but he displayed great might, killing a number of demonic path Gu Masters.
"Interesting." Bai Ning Bing watched the entire battle while relaxing on the bamboo chair, it was as if the people dying were not her subordinates, but strangers instead.
Ye Fan felt a chill regard her aloof nature, he felt disgust towards her: "This White Demon might look like a peerless beauty, but she has a vicious heart, she cannot compare to Lady Xin Ci. Birds of a feather flock together, the Black Demon guy who was with her is likely not a good person either!"
"Ah!" Suddenly, Ye Fan screamed.
It turned out that his right arm had been pierced by multiple icicles from the inside. At once, his entire right arm was pierced, flesh was exposed, his pale broken bones could be seen, his blood was about to squirt out but it was frozen by the frost energy.
"Alright, continue." Bai Ning Bing said plainly.
The demons had low morale, but seeing that Ye Fan's right arm was crippled, they saw hope again.
A few more entered the battlefield, trying to take advantage of his weakness.
Some were defeated, while others were killed by Ye Fan when he had the chance.
"What do I need such useless people for?" Bai Ning Bing's eyes flashed as blue light flickered in them.
The few demonic path Gu Masters who were defeated and still alive did not even get a chance to shout, they were frozen into icicles, dying on the spot.
Bai Ning Bing slowly stood on the ground, looking at Ye Fan with her hands behind her back.
Ye Fan smiled bitterly, Bai Ning Bing's terrifying strength made him feel deep despair: "There always exists someone stronger than you. I was too overconfident, I deserve the fate of dying here. But before I die, may you answer a question that I have?"
"Oh?" Bai Ning Bing looked at Ye Fan, assessing him as she said plainly: "You are quite brave, few can be so unmoved in the face of death. Very well, go ahead."
"I want to ask, what kind of person is Black Demon?" Ye Fan asked the deepest question in his heart.
"He…" Bai Ning Bing looked at the moon in the sky, dragging her words.
Ye Fan focused, listening attentively.
But Bai Ning Bing showed a mocking and cold gaze in her eyes.
Ye Fan stared with his eyes wide open, he was instantly frozen into an icicle!
Bai Ning Bing looked at the night sky and bright moon, after a few breaths of time, she retracted her gaze and walked away.
Behind her, Ye Fan's entire body was frozen in transparent ice, he died.
But Bai Ning Bing only took a few steps when a peculiar black aura appeared behind her, causing her silvery hair to flutter in the air.
"Oh?" Bai Ning Bing's blue eyes shrunk to pin size, she turned around and realized that four figures had suddenly appeared behind Ye Fan all of a sudden.
Bai Ning Bing's hair was standing, her battle intent rose to its peak at this moment!
Gu Immortal aura burst out from her body, soon, her body started to change, her adam's apple appeared, her body grew taller, her soft and plump chest shrank and became a muscular male chest, her face had turned into one with a sharp dagger-like appearance.
"Hehehe, Bai Ning Bing, your phantom aperture was given to you by my Shadow Sect, it can suppress the transformation path dao marks in you and revert you to your male body, it can also allow you to become a false immortal and own green grape immortal essence, you will be able to refine and use Immortal Gu. But now, you want to use this phantom aperture to fight me?" Ying Wu Xie chuckled.
"A member of Shadow Sect?" Bai Ning Bing squinted, a dangerous cold light was flashing in his eyes.
As he said that, Ye Fan was revived by Ying Wu Xie. The ice around his body had turned into water, he sat on the ground weakly, gasping loudly with a pale expression.
The feeling of life and death, he could feel entirely what true horror was!
His mental state was heavily affected, he could not control himself.
"You cannot kill this person." Ying Wu Xie looked at Ye Fan plainly.
Ying Wu Xie suddenly tossed out a rank five mortal Gu.
"White form immortal snake!" Bai Ning Bing received it with a perplexed expression, he recognized this Gu worm which had left a heavy impression in him.
"This is a crucial clue in the old bet of the Heaven Surveying Five Xiangs. Bai Ning Bing, you are the last bloodline descendant of Bai Xiang, you have the proper status to participate in the bet." Ying Wu Xie said slowly.
Bai Ning Bing was silent before asking: "This is the reason why your Shadow Sect is scheming to rope me in?"
Ying Wu Xie did not answer, he only moved as he left this place.
Hei Lou Lan, Shi Nu, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng followed closely after him.
Bai Ning Bing gritted his teeth, he restrained the cold light in his eyes as he followed them.
Ye Fan was left behind, kneeling on the ground with his arms supporting him, stopping him from collapsing, as he gasped heavily.
As for those demonic path Gu Masters, they were all like statues, when the wind blew, they turned into rotten black mud…
