Western Desert.
Night Curtain enveloped the land, stars glittering brilliantly.
In the desert, the temperature difference between day and night was immense. The daytime heat was deadly, while the nights were bone-piercingly cold.
Fang Yuan gently landed atop an unnamed sand dune.
"I flew for more than half the night, yet I have not seen any Heavenly Court pursuers. Could Feng Jiuge truly be the only one hunting me?"
A thread of doubt lingered in Fang Yuan's heart.
"Forget it. No matter."
Fang Yuan settled his mind, opened his Immortal Aperture Portal, and released Hei Lou Lan, Bai Ning Bing, and the others around him.
"Next, Ying Wu Xie and I will activate killer moves one after another. Our combat strength will decline somewhat, so I will leave our safety to you for now," Fang Yuan said to Bai Ning Bing, Miss White Rabbit, Wonderful Sound Fairy, and Hei Lou Lan.
The four immortals accepted their orders and scattered in all directions, beginning their individual patrols and defenses.
Fang Yuan set up an Immortal Dao Gu Formation.
With Defense Immortal Gu as its core, the original version of this Gu formation had been a Mortal Dao Gu Formation from Purple Mountain True Lord's inheritance.
Fang Yuan was a Formation Dao Grandmaster. Improving a Mortal Dao Gu Formation was not difficult for him. After adding Defense Immortal Gu, this Gu formation's defensive power was not to be underestimated.
Of course, it also had many flaws and weaknesses. It was merely being used as a temporary emergency measure.
Purple Mountain True Lord's inheritance contained four Immortal Dao Gu Formations, the strongest being the Purple Blood First River Formation! Unfortunately, Fang Yuan lacked either this Immortal Gu or that Immortal Gu required by those formations, making it impossible to set them up successfully.
