Fang Di Chang looked at him deeply and said meaningfully, "Brother Suan Bujin, the Fang Family will not forget your contributions."
"So that's how it is! This Immortal Gu House is going to self-destruct, and you want to destroy me!" Fang Yuan suddenly realized.
"The Immortal Gu House still needs to be destroyed," Fang Di Chang said. "But simply self-destructing the Immortal Gu House results in mere mob power. Only by sacrificing a Wisdom Dao Gu Immortal like you can I break through the bottleneck in an instant and reach a higher level of Wisdom Dao in a short period.

The Karma Tree killer move was a Rank 7 killer move, and now that Fang Yuan had improved it, its power had been further enhanced.
The blinding light from the Immortal Gu House was swallowed by the Karma Tree, and the chains binding Fang Yuan were instantly shattered.
Fang Di Chang's expression turned to shock. "How could this be? How could you have improved your Wood Dao attainment to such a level in such a short period?"
Fang Yuan smiled coldly. "I've been cultivating Wood Dao diligently. I'm not like you, constantly scheming and plotting. I'm not as unscrupulous as you."
