Arc 9The Fall of the Holy Mountain
Gu Chenfeng and Gu Lingxiao were captured by the Barbarian Tribe, then turned the Holy Mountain into the site of a planned uprising that ended with Huyan Nushan’s death and Helian Na’s rise. Gu Chenfeng survived severe injuries and began recovering, while Mo Nancang planned to take him to Central Province.
- After Huyan Ji died, Great Li’s forces routed the retreating Barbarian army as Gu Chenfeng claimed Huyan Ji’s weapon and ring and hurried to rescue his father from Northern Plains Forest.
- Gu Chenfeng and Gu Lingxiao were captured and taken to the Barbarian Holy Land, where Gu Chenfeng resisted the Barbarian Emperor’s plan to transform their bloodlines and unleashed the Nine Nether Demon-Subduing Order.
- Gu Lingxiao revealed that his capture had been part of a plan, activated the formation he had prepared eleven years earlier, and used hidden Soul-Devouring Gu Poison to kill the shamans on the Holy Mountain.
- Gu Lingxiao summoned the Futu Army and the Divine Firmament Army, which broke through the Barbarian defenses and set the Holy Mountain ablaze.
- Gu Lingxiao killed Wanyan Bulin, defeated the Five Great Protectors, and fought Huyan Nushan before awakening the Severing Baleful Intent Sword and bringing down the Barbarian God’s Phantom.
- A giant Bronze Ancient Sword destroyed the Grand Shaman’s frost dragon, and Mo Nancang arrived as Helian Na reclaimed the throne, granted land to the Gu Lineage, and named herself Gu Chenfeng’s godmother.
- Gu Chenfeng collapsed from severe damage to his body and Primordial Spirit, then recovered in the Holy Pool with Mo Nancang’s Millennium Spirit Milk while the Barbarian Tribe announced Huyan Nushan’s death and Emperor Xuan grew suspicious of Gu Lingxiao.
- After three days, Gu Lingxiao described Gu Chenfeng’s cultivation and breakthroughs to Mo Nancang, who proposed taking him to Central Province and silently resolved to do so.
