Bai Ning Bing advanced through the rounds, having enslaved nearly all the dogs within King Quan's inheritance. With the assistance of the land spirit and Fang Yuan's guidance, she did not lose a single round and even managed to preserve most of the dogs!
And whenever she encountered any Gu Master, whether from the righteous or demonic path, she would kill them with ease. Due to the heavenly power suppression of the land spirit, neither the dog groups nor the Gu Masters could attack Bai Ning Bing. On the contrary, Bai Ning Bing could unleash her full strength and kill her enemies instantly.
Simply put, the gains were astonishing!
Fang Yuan did not ask for the corpses of the Gu Masters she killed, nor did he demand their Gu worms, causing Bai Ning Bing to become extremely wealthy.
Yet she was not happy at all!
"Fang Yuan didn't ask for the Gu worms or the corpses of the Gu Masters I killed… did he obtain such enormous benefits that these Gu worms no longer hold any value in his eyes?!"
Bai Ning Bing could not help but think this way. And for some reason, this made her feel deeply uneasy. If Fang Yuan had truly obtained benefits so great that the accumulations of these Gu Masters meant nothing to him, then her chances of snatching Yang Gu from him would become far lower!
"No… most likely Fang Yuan is in the middle of the refinement process and currently at a critical step, so he cannot spare attention for these gains… The Fang Yuan I know would never miss any chance to suppress me or earn easy profits!"
Bai Ning Bing tried calming herself and continued advancing through the rounds, obtaining many rare and extraordinary enslavement path Gu worms.
Fang Yuan observed her progress clearly and evaluated the Gu worms she obtained from the inheritance. Numerous killer moves that could greatly strengthen dog groups surfaced within his mind.
Fang Yuan could not immediately reach the final rounds of the Three Kings inheritances. Because of the inheritances themselves, the blessed land had been altered, causing the land spirit's control over those areas to weaken. If he wished to break their arrangements, he would need to expend immortal essence.
But Fang Yuan saw no reason to do so.
"Land spirit, close King Quan's inheritance and King Xin's inheritance, then send me into King Bao's inheritance."
"As you wish, Master."
The land spirit's voice was slightly weaker than before, yet it was still in far better condition compared to Fang Yuan's previous life. But trying to save it was ultimately meaningless — this blessed land had been doomed to destruction from the very beginning.
On San Cha Mountain, Chi clan and Zuo clan arrived, while even more experts appeared to compete over the Three Kings inheritance.
"Ah, look! King Quan's yellow inheritance light disappeared, and King Xin's inheritance light vanished as well!"
The experts raised their heads toward the peak of San Cha Mountain. Their expressions turned anxious as they began rushing toward King Bao's inheritance.
"I wonder who obtained King Quan's inheritance? Could it be Wu Gui? Wu Gui hasn't emerged since entering King Quan's inheritance!"
"Only King Bao's inheritance remains. Whoever obtains it will have the chance to become a rank five expert. I must seize it!"
"But this is strange… not a single rank five Gu Master has emerged even after two inheritances disappeared."
"Now that you mention it, it truly is strange. Could they be trapped inside the blessed land?"
"They're being retained within the blessed land! This blessed land is approaching destruction. Soon the entrance will fully open, allowing us to enter and leave freely!"
At that moment, a figure arrived, his voice echoing across San Cha Mountain. Many Gu Masters from both righteous and demonic paths quickly recognized him.
"It's Lord Xiao Mang!"
The righteous path cheered as they recognized Xiao Mang's identity, while the expressions of the demonic path turned ugly.
The demonic path possessed more famous experts such as Mo Wu Tian, Wu Gui, Ku Mo, Mountain Lord, and Zhou Jiu. Yet ever since these experts entered the inheritance grounds, none of them had returned.
Fang Yuan, who had already reached the final round of King Bao's inheritance, received news of Xiao Mang's arrival.
"Land spirit, reduce the heavenly power suppression and protection surrounding the blessed land. Make it vulnerable to rank five Gu Masters!"
"But Master, this blessed land…"
The land spirit spoke anxiously, but Fang Yuan snorted coldly and ordered it to comply. The land spirit had no choice but to obey. After all, Fang Yuan was its master, and it could not disobey his commands even if he ordered it to die.
Land spirits were absolutely loyal to their masters.
Thus, when Fang Yuan ordered it to abandon the blessed land's external defenses, it obeyed. Although a considerable amount of immortal essence remained and very little had been consumed during the refinement of Second Aperture Gu, the blessed land's breach was inevitable — only the timing would differ.
Fang Yuan arrived at the final round of King Bao's inheritance and encountered a massive gray stone that even rank five Gu Masters could not break through unless they cultivated fire path. Yet with a single glance at the stone, Fang Yuan already discovered a method to shatter it.
Fang Yuan stretched out his hand and touched the gray stone. Golden light spread across its surface for several seconds before sinking into the stone itself. Another minute later, the enormous gray stone cracked apart, revealing what was hidden inside.
Fang Yuan looted everything within the giant gray stone — all the fire path Gu worms and materials — before returning to the bronze hall just in time.
The formation surrounding the bronze hall had already been dismantled. No traces of its existence remained aside from the blessed land's time flow decreasing from threefold speed to merely double speed. But this was insignificant since the blessed land had already been dying from the beginning. Losing a portion of its foundation was nothing major.
Fang Yuan looked toward Bai Ning Bing, who now commanded one hundred thousand dogs hidden within the mist. Yet Fang Yuan could see them clearly.
Akita Chrysanthemum Dogs, Heavy Tai Dogs, Lightning Symbol Dogs, Zombie Dogs, Star Dogs… and even two beast emperors alongside numerous mutated beasts.
Fang Yuan nodded slightly toward Bai Ning Bing before saying:
"Bai Ning Bing, hand all enslavement path Gu worms to the land spirit."
Bai Ning Bing was startled, and the uneasy feeling within her heart deepened. She wanted to object, but Fang Yuan reassured her.
"I must refine an Immortal Gu and devote my complete focus toward it. In that state, I'll be entirely vulnerable to my surroundings. I need someone I trust to protect me… besides, the land spirit can control the dog groups far better than you, allowing me to buy even more time."
Bai Ning Bing sneered mockingly.
"You trust me? You're taking an enormous risk. But refining an Immortal Gu while being attacked by both the righteous and demonic paths does sound rather interesting…"
"It's not as though you have a choice. After all, Yang Gu is in my possession."
Fang Yuan laughed as he entered the bronze hall, where scenes from outside the blessed land were displayed.
Radiance Gu!
Heaven's Will Gu!
Void Fist Gu!
Killer move — Mystic Light Fist!
Xiao Mang stood atop San Cha Mountain and unleashed his killer move, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Rays of light condensed into a gigantic fist the size of a hill before smashing through the blessed land barrier.
The blessed land shook violently as a massive hole formed, creating a passage connecting the outside world to the blessed land.
The bronze hall trembled intensely. Bai Ning Bing's expression turned pale as she looked toward Fang Yuan, who calmly observed everything with an indifferent expression. Meanwhile, the land spirit cried out sorrowfully as it watched chaos erupt throughout the blessed land.
The scene descended into utter disorder as countless Gu Master experts rushed everywhere to loot treasures. The pressure upon the blessed land increased rapidly, causing the land spirit's control over heavenly power to weaken drastically.
Hu Mei Er, Li Xian, and Kong Ri Tian charged at the forefront, while behind them came the demonic path experts, seizing hairy men and eggmen who could not resist the demonic crowd.
But at that very moment, Killer Ghost Doctor pointed ahead and called out to everyone.
