From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Even Madame Xuan, six months ago, needed the boost of the Anti-Void Array to battle a ninth-order Void Beast.

How could it be that in this place, without an Anti-Void Array, in less than a few minutes, the Fang Family\'s eldest son, who had been exiled for over twenty years, had chopped it into mincemeat?

Everyone watching Fang Ren, holding the giant beast\'s head, felt an indescribable sense of shock wash over them.

Originally, they had thought that even if Xu Feng and Fang Ren, both at the peak of the Xuanyang realm, fought the ninth-order Void Beast without the support of the Anti-Void Array, it would take them several hours to determine the victor. Yet this outcome had completely overturned their understanding of realms.

"Brother Fang..."

"I\'m fine."

Fang Ren exchanged a few words with Xu Feng, hoping to distract himself by talking more.

Xu Feng couldn\'t help but swallow, "But... Brother Fang, you look like you\'re in trouble."

Fang Ren looked down at himself, practically full of holes, and one hand was reduced to nothing but bones—just looking at it was terrifying.

"Ran\'er! Eat this quickly!"

Fang Zheng immediately flew over, taking out the only fifth-order recovery type pill he had and offering it to Fang Ren.

Seeing Fang Zheng suddenly fly over, Fang Ren was somewhat perplexed; the middle-aged man wasn\'t someone he knew, and calling him "Ran\'er"... it was just too mushy.

Moreover, although this man had a high realm, the pill he offered was a fifth-order pill. Fang Ren guessed that even the commanders of the major battle zones probably had no more than one such pill on them at that moment. To give such a valuable thing to him at such a critical juncture must mean he cared about him deeply, right?

However, Fang Ren certainly would not accept the other\'s pills. He dismissed the middle-aged man with a wave, "Uncle, you should keep it for yourself."

After speaking, he took out a top-grade Blood-Returning Flesh-Forming Pill and swallowed it. His wounds immediately began to heal at a rate visible to the naked eye, and fresh flesh grew on the arm that was only bone.

"..."

Fang Zheng, holding the pill in his hand, was dumbfounded.

He had been planning to give his only recovery type pill to this kid, but the kid casually took out and consumed a fifth-order premium Blood-Returning Flesh-Forming Pill, which was far more powerful than the one he was offering.

For a moment, Fang Zheng stood there with wide eyes, suddenly feeling that his fatherly love was rather pathetic...

And what had his own son just called him? Uncle...

Mu Tianyuan stopped when he heard Fang Ren call Fang Zheng "uncle", realizing Fang Ren didn\'t recognize Fang Zheng and thinking it better not to approach now; this was not a fitting scene for father and son recognition.

But still, she couldn\'t help but be shocked; Fang Ren had managed to kill the Void Beast in just a few minutes, and his methods were extremely brutal. Moreover, she was somewhat worried about the horrifying appearance Fang Ren had just projected; she was certain that the ominous premonition in her heart all stemmed from the bloody aura behind Fang Ren.

Which sect\'s cultivation technique was this child practicing?

It was said his Spirit Form was a small animal; that shouldn\'t be his natal cultivation technique.

After a brief stasis, Fang Zheng put away his pill and with a serious expression, he advised, "Battles are extremely perilous; you must take great care of your safety."

Having said this, he turned and went back to the second district.

...

Fang Ren bid farewell to the middle-aged man with his eyes, guessing at the man\'s identity.

By now, the bloody aura on his body had subsided considerably, and the ominous feeling in everyone\'s hearts also faded.

"Brother Fang," Xu Feng approached Fang Ren, starting with a look of confusion, "You called that man just now... uncle?"

"Or what should I have called him?" Fang Ren was taken aback.

"Aren\'t you the Fang Family\'s eldest son?"

"..."

With that said, Fang Ren no longer pursued the conversation, glanced once more at Fang Zheng\'s retreating figure, and then headed towards the third district, which was under the control of his mother-in-law.

Seeing Fang Ren fall silent, Xu Feng also closed his mouth and followed.

He could somewhat understand; after all, Brother Fang had been raised by the Fang Family in a quite liberal manner, and he hadn\'t even known he belonged to the Fang Family until he reached twenty-two years old. This was probably the first time Brother Fang had met his father... whatever the case, it was something difficult to accept for anyone.

As the two flew toward the third district, Xia Mo, who had been observing the situation, couldn\'t help but take a few more glances at Fang Ren.

At the moment of the giant beast\'s death, perhaps the surrounding practitioners didn\'t understand what had happened, but for Xia Mo, who was at the early stage of the mysterious night realm, he had seen the entire process without missing a detail.

"It seems Brother Bai had miscalculated from the beginning," Xia Mo couldn\'t help but recall the words Bai Chaojin had said to him.

----

With the ninth-order Void Beast taken care of, the soldiers once again focused all their energy on dealing with the Black Serpent.

At the top of the black fog, a group of light attribute practitioners blasted another gap into it, and upon seeing this, Mu Huanqing delivered another heavy strike.

But this time, there was no blood of the Void beast flowing out of the black fog.

"What\'s going on?"

"It seems like we didn\'t hit it, it dodged?"

"It appears that this creature has figured out a way to deal with our strategy. If we don\'t figure out how to completely dispel this black fog all at once, no matter how many times we attack, it will dodge!"

"But how can we clear this black fog in an instant? All of our light-attribute practitioners together can\'t do it!"

"Dragging this out isn\'t a solution! It seems we can only pin our hopes on the snake head beneath the sea!"

...

While everyone was discussing, Mu Huanqing flashed to Fang Ren\'s side once more.

She had just attacked the gap in the black fog, and in the short time that followed, the light-attribute practitioners couldn\'t create another opportunity for her to attack, so she took this brief respite to ask Fang Ren some questions.

Wong—

A soundproof barrier was erected by Mu Huanqing, wrapping herself and Fang Ren inside, leaving Xu Feng somewhat confused. He turned around and continued to kill the surrounding demon beasts.

"What is going on with your realm?"

Mu Huanqing opened with a question that was difficult for Fang Ren to answer.

The last time Mu Huanqing came to see Fang Ren, he felt fortunate she hadn\'t asked him that question, but what was inevitable always seemed to come, and finally, she came to ask.

However, Fang Ren really didn\'t plan to talk about such an awkward topic now. Under no circumstances could he directly tell Mu Huanqing that he had been forced to have "pia pia pia" with Bai Qi. Who knew how angry she would get, and it might even affect her mental state in battle.

The battlefield was so tense that a moment of distraction could prove fatal.

He decided he would explain everything to Mu Huanqing after the battle, as he had no intention of deceiving her.

"Nothing much, just ate a new type of elixir," Fang Ren said.

"Elixir?" Mu Huanqing frowned. "What kind of elixir could enhance so immensely?"

Fang Ren forced a response: "I\'m not clear on the details, Qianye suddenly gave it to me... after I ate it, it fell into a deep sleep. It seems it must have refined something into the elixir for me."

As soon as Mu Huanqing heard "Qianye," her brows relaxed. She never doubted the wonders of Qianye; after all, she had only eaten one of Qianye\'s fruits and learned so many formations. Since the elixir came from Qianye, it must indeed be a treasure of the world, and she could understand such a significant enhancement.

With a reasonable explanation, Mu Huanqing let go of her concerns. She was only worried that Fang Ren had used some dangerous method to achieve all this.

"If another Void beast like the one just now appears, don\'t go fighting it alone again, you hear me?" Mu Huanqing said with concern.

Previously, when the white fog had dissipated, she saw Fang Ren, covered in blood holes, standing in midair and was nearly scared into fainting. Fortunately, Fang Ren healed himself in time with elixir, or she would have lost the will to continue fighting.

"It\'s fine," Fang Ren said with a smile.

"Fine? You almost died just now, did you even realize that?!" Mu Huanqing became angered seeing him dismiss her words as nonsense.

"We\'ve shared a bed for so long, you know what my constitution is like," Fang Ren still had a smile on his face.

"You\'re infuriating!"

Mu Huanqing, miffed, gave him a light kick.

"Hey, hey, people are watching, aren\'t you afraid of being seen?" Fang Ren immediately reminded her.

"Let them see, it doesn\'t matter now, no one can do anything about it," Mu Huanqing said angrily.

Seeing her looking so indignant, Fang Ren felt a warm tenderness in his heart.

Just when Fang Ren thought Mu Huanqing was about to deactivate the soundproof barrier and return to the battlefield, her brows furrowed once more.

"Aside from the smell of blood, why is there a scent of a woman on you?" Mu Huanqing\'s expression suddenly turned serious.

This seriousness was even more intense than her demeanor on the battlefield.

"How... how could that be possible!"

Fang Ren was completely perplexed; he hadn\'t expected that a woman could be so sensitive to the scent of another woman.

Seeing Fang Ren\'s discomposed look, Mu Huanqing\'s intuition grew even firmer. However, now was not the time to press the issue; a gap in the black fog was about to be opened again, and she needed to hurry back.

"We\'ll settle this at home!"

Mu Huanqing, still miffed, left those words behind as she turned and flew back toward the top of the black fog.

As she left, Fang Ren\'s smile slowly faded. This matter weighed too heavily on him.

If he could not gain forgiveness, how would he face the future?

Moreover, regardless of whether he was forgiven or not, how was he supposed to face Bai Qi? And then there was the child in Bai Qi\'s womb...

Looking back, the simple life he had hoped for had already become distant...
