From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 263: Chapter 358: Cutting Through the Bustling Night of Tianjiang_1

```

Chaos had erupted in Tianjiang, and it was on the brink of unraveling.

One would have thought that in an era where humanity was united against a common enemy, only Indra Sky and the Nightfall Organization would be the core elements of infighting within the human ranks. Yet now, a Xuanyang realm powerhouse from the Fang Family had emerged, and his goal was likely the same as Fang Ye's—to rule over the entire Tianjiang.

What would be the outcome if these three forces collided?

Jiang Ling, watching Fang Ren's troubled face, smiled slightly and said, "You shouldn't feel too disheartened about this matter. After all, that Xuanyang realm expert is from your Fang Family, and from what I see, given your cultivation progress, it will probably take you less than ten years to break through to the Xuanyang realm. You don't need to look up to anyone.

In this era, with your identity and strength, you can live most comfortably."

"But the experiments of Indra Sky include me too, and I don't believe that because of my talent for pill concoction, as well as my relationship with Hui Qing, they will halt their experiments," said Fang Ren.

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, then spoke again, "You're now a renowned figure in the world, and if you return to the Fang Family, Indra Sky wouldn't dare to press you into anything, for that Xuanyang realm master would certainly protect you."

Fang Ren nodded. What Jiang Ling said made sense. His current situation seemed to have suddenly become much more secure. If he returned to the Fang Family, Indra Sky wouldn't have a chance to press him, as the Xuanyang realm master from the Fang Family would surely not let Bai Chaojin succeed, considering his strength and belonging to the Fang Family.

Furthermore, it was very likely that the Xuanyang realm master harbored ambitions of unifying Tianjiang, leaving no opportunity for Bai Chaojin.

However, on the other hand, the Xuanyang realm expert might be related to Fang Ye. Fang Ye wanted to kill him over the marriage with Bai Qi, but if he made it clear to Fang Ye that he intended to marry Mu Huanqing and resolutely resisted the marriage with Bai Qi, then Fang Ye might instead side with him.

But if he really did that, he would no longer be Fang Ren.

Fang Ye had already attempted to kill him once, and had severely injured Mu Huanqing as well. That was something he couldn't just get over. Even if that Xuanyang realm expert was related to Fang Ye, Fang Ren was determined to stand firm against Fang Ye!

"Leader Jiang, you seem to misunderstand me," said Fang Ren. "Every person has their own temperament. Whether I return to the Fang Family is one thing; whether or not Fang Ye kills me is another. Moreover, I would rather engage in causes that align with my beliefs with the Nightfall Organization than abandon my vengeance to return to the Fang Family and seek the protection of a Xuanyang realm expert.

After all, Leader Jiang, you're now at the Xuanyang realm as well, and even if not, I wouldn't choose a heartless comfort."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ling laughed again, "I still owe Young Master Fang for his kindness. If ever in grave danger, rather than have Young Master Fang align with Nightfall, I would sacrifice myself to ensure your safety."

Fang Ren shook his head, "There's no need to talk about repaying kindness. Leader Jiang, I know your intentions well. Today, when I was falling behind in my duel with Xia Fu Lan, I could sense that you were about to descend from the skies above the arena to assist me. To say that I have no friendly appreciation for Leader Jiang, that would be impossible."

His perception could reach thousands of kilometers, and he had always been able to see Jiang Ling, who had remained above the arena. As for why others hadn't noticed Jiang Ling, it was because Jiang Ling's realm was so advanced that people, rather than trusting their eyes, preferred to rely on their perception of True Qi. Naturally, they failed to detect Jiang Ling's presence.

Jiang Ling waved his hand dismissively, "I did what was necessary. Young Master Fang saved my life and gave me a tremendous opportunity for cultivation. I owe it to my benefactor to ensure their complete safety."

At that very moment, in a specially designated reception area in Tianjiang, Mu Huanqing held a star map formed of condensed True Qi in her hands, studying the placement of formations in each corner of Tianjiang.

Just as she was about to infuse the last bit of True Qi into the star map to complete a major formation, a sudden sharp pain emanated from her lower abdomen.

The pain was so intense that even Mu Huanqing, a peak practitioner at the threshold of the Xuanyang realm, flinched and dropped the star map to the ground, shattering it.```

"What's going on..."

Mu Huanqing instinctively protected her belly, followed swiftly by a cold sweat breaking out on her forehead and back.

Then, she immediately began circulating her True Qi throughout her body, but the pain in her belly made her tremble violently, furrowing her brows together.

"The child..."

Mu Huanqing did her utmost to dispel the Formation in front of her lower abdomen. As soon as she did, her swollen belly pushed against her clothes. Looking at the size of her belly, Mu Huanqing finally understood.

She could no longer care about anything else. She forced her True Qi to circulate with all her might and rushed out of the room, flying quickly towards the location of Fang Ren.

As she transformed into a streak of light, fleeing the reception area, a group of women from the Nine Heavens Corps hurried out of their rooms. They all thought something special had occurred within the Void Hole, but when they observed closely and detected no aura of the Void, their expressions turned to confusion. Looking up at the white streak in the sky, they began to murmur amongst themselves.

At this time, key members of the various families in the streets had not yet left the vicinity of the meeting place. Sensing the powerful pressure of True Qi from above, everyone looked puzzled in the direction Mu Huanqing had gone.

Anyone could see she was in a rush, hasty, not even bothering to hide her overwhelming True Qi pressure as she raced across the sky, causing some ordinary people below to faint on the streets, unable to withstand it.

Inside a luxurious carriage on a certain stretch of street, Fang Yuanhao was on his way to the residence of Fang Ren. Although he had never acknowledged Fang Ren as his kin, things were different now. Fang Ren had the ability to be his grandson, and he might not qualify to be Fang Ren's grandfather.

He naturally planned to have a grand, earth-shattering acknowledgment of his grandson tonight.

However, upon seeing the figure of Mu Huanqing in the sky, he was slightly stunned because she was descending right where he was headed.

Within the Bai Family, Bai Chaojin, who had been gazing up at the stars, wore a look of worry. He had a feeling that his attempt to intervene tonight would be futile and that Mu Huanqing might even take his life on the spot.

"Fang Ren... With anyone involved with him, I can't see their destiny. Could it be his life is not within the scope of Heavenly Dao?"

Bai Chaojin sighed softly, feeling more and more the weight of his age in this very moment.

...

In the room where Fang Ren was, Jiang Ling suddenly frowned. She felt a breath rapidly approaching and wanted to leave quickly, but it was too late.

Hum—

In the room, a wild wind burst forth, and the windows and walls were shattered by the white streak of light.

Tonight, this white streak cut through the bustling night of Tianjiang.
