From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Although the advancement in realm was a cause for great joy, Fang Ren just couldn't seem to feel happy at the moment. He didn't know how to face Mu Hui Qing, let alone bring up this embarrassing matter.

But he didn't have much time to dwell on it at the moment; all he wanted was to quickly find Mu Hui Qing and ensure her safety.

As he got closer to the central battlefield, Fang Ren realized just how fierce the battle was. He couldn't even guarantee that he would survive to find Mu Hui Qing.

"Qianye."

He softly called out to his Spirit Form, thinking that he should wake Qianye up before charging in, as he didn't know what difficulties he might face. It was better to be safe than sorry.

Moreover, with his recent realm breakthrough, Qianye should take him to the great tree to pick a fruit.

But as his voice fell, there was no response from Qianye.

"Qianye?"

Again he called out, but still received no response.

Fang Ren then used his Divine Sense to probe into his Spiritual Root, checking on the condition of his Spirit Form.

When his Divine Sense passed through the Spiritual Root and came to the giant tree in the darkness, he found that Qianye was actually lying inside a purple orb, asleep.

Fang Ren tried to touch the purple orb but discovered that he could not penetrate it; he could only try to wake Qianye up with his voice.

After several attempts, the result was the same; Qianye remained asleep, completely oblivious to his calls.

As for the purple orb, Fang Ren had initially thought to forcefully open it, but after observing for a while, he realized that the orb was continuously nourishing Qianye, seemingly beneficial and harmless to him.

This was probably the result of his dual cultivation with Bai Qi.

He shook his head, trying not to think further; the more he thought, the more muddled his mind became.

Fang Ren withdrew his Divine Sense from within the Spirit Form and continued towards the central battlefield.

"Buzz—"

Just as Fang Ren was rushing towards the battlefield, suddenly a black beam of light streaked across the sky not far from him.

The speed of the light was incredibly strange. He had seen Mu Hui Qing fly at full speed, which could accurately be described as covering half a mile in a single step, but this beam was clearly faster, comparable to Jiang Ling at full speed after breaking through to the Xuan Ye Realm.

Could it be Jiang Ling?

He quickly dismissed this idea; although Jiang Ling's True Qi was also black, this beam did not carry Jiang Ling's aura. Instead, it had a hint of the Void's scent.

A Void beast?

But when did Void beasts become so small?

In a moment of bewilderment, Fang Ren remembered something Jiang Ling had once told him; in the mountains behind the Fang Family in Tianjiang, there hid an expert of the Xuan Ye Realm whose identity was unknown to everyone publicly.

Another piece of information was that this Xuan Ye Realm expert had connections with Fang Family's right faction and Fang Ye.

Watching the black beam disappear into the horizon, Fang Ren put his thoughts aside and continued his rush toward the central battlefield, only caring about finding Mu Hui Qing, everything else was trivial.

...

In the sky not far from the central battlefield, a black beam of light came to a stop, and as the light dispersed, an elder in a black robe appeared midair.

This was none other than Fang Yun Zhong, who had always remained in the mountains behind the Fang Family.

The reason he had come out was that his great-grandson Fang Ren had been captured by the Indra Sky organization and subjected to experiments. Of course, his main concern wasn't to rescue his great-grandson but to seize the mature Void Fusion Technique from Indra Sky; with it, he could stabilize his body and even potentially advance to the mid stages of the Xuan Ye Realm.

By then, he would be invincible on Earth and could, like a Void beast, draw energy from the Void.

Originally, with the dense Void scent on him, which could cause humans to mistake him for an enemy, he wouldn't have easily revealed himself, but the emergence of the Ninth-order Void Beast had disrupted the entire world. The human armies couldn't possibly spare the forces to deal with him, giving him a direct chance to attack and take the technology from Indra Sky.

"Descendant of the Fang Family, hm? Our blood relationship should be quite close," Fang Yun Zhong murmured as his aged pupils watched the distant sky, in the direction where Fang Ren had disappeared.

However, he couldn't possibly imagine that the young man he had just encountered was Fang Ren, who had been taken by the Indra Sky organization.

His Divine Sense swept over the vast battlefield, and Fang Yun Zhong could sense the collapse of Central Island. However, he didn't detect the presence of his descendant on the submerged island, meaning Fang Ren and Indra Sky had been moved elsewhere.

"That Bai Chaojin does know how to cover his tracks," Fang Yun Zhong mused as his figure once again turned into a black stream of light plunging into the sea. Indra Sky wouldn't have gone far from these waters, despite the battle having raged for a long time.

Once he detected the presence of his descendant in the ocean, he would be able to locate the Indra Sky organization.

Little did he know, his descendant Fang Ren, was actually close by.

At this moment, the skies above the central battlefield were already joined by soldiers and generals from the various major battle zones.

The District Chief of the First District, Bai Jinyun (Patriarch of the Bai Family), the Deputy District Chief of the First District Bai Jinyu (Second Elder of the Bai Family), the General of the First District Bai Jinhong (Third Elder of the Bai Family)… The District Chief of the Second District Fang Zheng (Grand Elder Fang Ren), the Deputy District Chief of the Second District Fang Jing (Third Elder of the Fang Family), the General of the Second District Wang Shang… Even Shang Han, the District Chief of the Ninth District, came to join the battle despite his injuries.

With a large group of main-force generals arriving on the battlefield, coupled with Xia Mo's use of "Doomsday Sunlight" earlier, which cleaved a direct path to the Black Giant Snake, all the main-force generals quickly broke through from the periphery to the central battlefield.

The soldiers in the heart of the central battlefield, who were originally in utter despair, were filled with fighting spirit at the arrival of these main forces.

As people around the world saw the arrival of these soldiers and generals, the tension that had been tightly wound in their hearts finally began to relax.

"Set up the Formation first! Protect and retreat the wounded soldiers to the periphery!"

Bai Jinyun took the lead in erecting a defensive large formation with other generals to withstand the sweeping assaults of the Black Giant Snake, timely stemming the tide of human casualties.

Mu Huanqing and Bai Chaojin, who had been at the forefront, fighting the Black Giant Snake, were already severely injured. With the emergence of this massive defensive formation, they too finally had a moment to catch their breath.

"Qing'er!"

Dressed in Silver Battle Armor, Mu Tianyuan rushed to Mu Huanqing's side first, looking at her daughter covered in blood and with disheveled hair, and Mu Tianyuan's heart ached as if it had been sliced by a knife.

"Quickly, take this pill!"

Mu Tianyuan urgently took out a Blood-Returning Flesh-Forming Pill and quickly forced it into Mu Huanqing's mouth.

As soon as the pill was ingested, the wounds on Mu Huanqing's arms began to heal rapidly, but the depletion of True Qi inside her body could not be restored for the time being.

After taking the pill, Mu Huanqing slightly frowned, "You shouldn't have given it to me, Mother."

In terms of pills, her storage ring contained over a dozen fifth-order recovery type pills given to her by Fang Ren, but she dared not take them just yet. She feared that if she used up all the pills and still failed to defeat the Giant Snake, it would be a waste. So she wanted to replenish her pills only when she was extremely weak; otherwise, it would be squandered.

Although the alchemists in the Central Area could produce many pills daily, when distributed among the various battle zones, each general could only have at most two fifth-order pills, and some had even run out.

"Silly girl! If you don't take it, you're going to die!" Mu Tianyuan couldn't help but chide her.

"It's okay, I know my own limits."

As she spoke, Mu Huanqing took out a few pills that emitted golden light from her storage ring and placed them in Mu Tianyuan's hand, continuing, "These are True Essence Pills; they can restore a large amount of True Qi in a short time. You keep them, I still have a lot here."

Mu Tianyuan looked at the pills in her hand, and then at Mu Huanqing's ring, her face devoid of any relief, instead becoming serious, "How has that boy treated you?"

When Mu Huanqing had lost her cultivation level, Mu Tianyuan saw her silent and thought she might have suicidal tendencies, which is why she sought out Shang Han to bring Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing together. After all, a hidden boy from the Fang family and a girl from the Mu family, who was considered dead by everyone, seemed like the most suitable match in Mu Tianyuan's view.

But now, what Mu Tianyuan was most worried about was how Fang Ren treated her daughter, for she had only Mu Huanqing as her daughter.

"Ah Ran?" Taking her mother's question, a smile inevitably surfaced on Mu Huanqing's face, "He treasures me like his life, Mother needn't worry."

Seeing Mu Huanqing's expression and hearing her words, Mu Tianyuan was stunned for a moment. In her memory, her daughter rarely smiled and was always very meticulous with her words. If Mu Huanqing could say this, then the boy from the Fang family must truly cherish her daughter.

"Then I'm at ease."

Having said that, Mu Tianyuan turned to rush towards the edge of the large formation, but the sudden appearance of a figure made her stop in her tracks.

"Qing'er!"

Shang Han, carrying old wounds, still joined the central battlefield along with a legion of generals, but having previously unleashed a forbidden art, his realm had plummeted, and reaching here was almost a desperate struggle at the cost of his life.

"Father…"

Seeing Shang Han's arrival, Mu Huanqing froze, then immediately became frantic, "Xiao Xuan didn't go to find you?!"

Xiao Xuan was the name of the female soldier entrusted with Mu Huanqing's child.

"Don't worry, the child is fine, Xiao Xuan stayed behind to take care of her in the military district," Shang Han said as he came closer, assuring Mu Huanqing about her child's safety.

"That's good, that's good…" A weight lifted off Mu Huanqing's heart as she learned her child was safe.

"Child? What child?"

Upon hearing the words "child," Mu Tianyuan became unsettled and immediately grabbed Shang Han's ear, loudly demanding an explanation.

Shang Han winced with his ears gripped by his wife, thinking that he, a District Chief of the Ninth District, was losing face during this great battle.

"You're going to be a grandmother, and you're still so violent!" Shang Han slapped Mu Tianyuan's hand and whispered.

"What did you say!?"

Mu Tianyuan was thunderstruck, "Grandmother!?"

Seeing her stunned, Shang Han quickly withdrew from her grasp and earnestly said, "Stop dwelling on it! How can we be concerned with affairs of children in the face of a great battle?"

With that, he rushed towards the edge of the large formation to join the generals in bracing the Formation against the onslaught.

Thankfully, his reflexes were quick, and hopefully, no one saw him being tugged by the ear by his wife…
