From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 340: Chapter 335: Pointing at the Heavenly Dao_1

Fang Ren is dead... How could this be?

In a daze, a familiar feeling over the sea made Bai Qi slowly turn her head, her gaze looking towards the distant ocean.

That was a gray giant tree reaching into the sky, hanging with countless bodies of void beasts.

"Little Qianye..."

Within Bai Qi's body was half of Fang Ren's Spiritual Root, and she could feel most of Little Qianye's emotions. At this moment, she felt an ineffable sorrow from the giant tree.

She believed it, Fang Ren was truly dead.

"Why did this happen..."

Bai Qi stared blankly at Little Qianye, which had turned into the giant tree, muttering to herself.

"I've tried so hard... I've become strong enough to protect you... Why did it still end up like this..."

Her eyes suddenly became red, and tears lingered at the corners of her eyes.

Seeing Bai Qi's vines loose their grip on Mu Huanqing's Hundred Martial Divine Weapon, Song Mobei immediately hid behind Bai Qi and said indignantly, "Junior Sister Qi'er! For Madame Xuan to slander without evidence, shouldn't you detain her first?"

Bai Qi ignored him, just staring blankly at Little Qianye turned into a giant tree, letting the anger and sorrow in her heart swell uncontrollably.

As the Commander-in-Chief, and as the elder of Mu Huanqing, Xia Mo was still trying to persuade her, "Hui Qing, calm down first. We'll follow you to Tiandao Sword Sect. If things are really as you said, then you won't even have to act; the Sect Master of Tiandao will execute his own daughter publicly."

"What I want is not just Xia Fu Lan's death; I want every person in Tiandao Sword Sect to join him in death!" shouted Mu Huanqing.

With those words, Mu Huanqing's Hundred Martial Divine Weapon began to activate once again.

Seeing Bai Qi distracted and unreliable for protection, Song Mobei turned and fled in another direction.

Seeing Mu Huanqing looking like she was going to kill Song Mobei, Xia Mo quickly moved to stop her.

But Xia Mo's True Qi was already running low, only able to barely block Mu Huanqing's attacks.

"Hui Qing! You must not become a demon who slaughters innocently!"

Xia Mo shouted, hoping Mu Huanqing would regain some sense, even if just a sliver.

"The rest of you, help out! First, let's stabilize her! Remember not to hurt her!"

The other warriors and Array Masters hastily contributed their meager efforts to finally gain temporary control over Mu Huanqing again.

Bang!

Suddenly, a sword shadow struck Xia Mo from within the crowd.

Xia Mo blocked the attack and turned in shock, only to see the attacker was a female soldier clad in Silver Battle Armor.

One of the Nine Heavens Corps.

"Are you going to be reckless with her as well!" exclaimed Xia Mo, utterly exasperated.

He could sense that the female soldier had held back, her purpose merely to express her stance.

"Everyone! Stop interfering, or the civil strife within our own race will be of your own making!"

As the female soldier's voice fell, tens of thousands of Silver Armor female soldiers ascended into the sky, arriving behind Mu Huanqing.

"Swear to follow Madame Xuan to the death!"

Following that, longswords were drawn, pointing at everyone who tried to stop Mu Huanqing, the sound of clashing swords echoing to the heavens.

Seeing this, the warriors all stopped, for their intention was to calm Mu Huanqing down; fratricide was unthinkable.

However, no one had expected Mu Huanqing to be angered to such an extent.

"You girls are also behaving irrationally!" Xia Mo was so frustrated that he almost stamped his feet.

"Commander-in-Chief! In this matter, please forgive us for not being able to follow your orders."

Jiang Ling, who was about to retreat, stopped in his tracks at the sudden escalation of events.

If Fang Ren's death was indeed as Mu Huanqing said, due to Xia Fu Lan's betrayal, then he also wouldn't let the matter rest.

After all, Fang Ren was at the very least a member of Nightfall, and besides, he was the one who had saved his life.

"Leader! We have to meddle in this affair!" A member of Nightfall who participated in the Linglong Bay battle suddenly stood up and called out, "Fang Ren was also one of us at Nightfall! If his death has a hidden perpetrator, how could we at Nightfall just let it go?"

"That's right! Since big brother said there was a traitor before he died, we must drag out that traitor and kill him! Otherwise, I damn well can't face big brother who saved my life!"

The man who Fang Ren once called "f*ck" also stood up at this point. His life had been saved by Fang Ren, who he always viewed as his big brother.

"Leader! Let's go along with Lady Xuan as well!" another member shouted.

"Let's go," said Jiang Ling, his expression darkening. Turning around, he ordered: "Anyone who obstructs us will be slain without mercy."

As his words fell, tens of thousands of Nightfall Members in black cloaks ascended into the sky and joined the ranks of the Nine Heavens Corps.

Jiang Ling drew his Black long knife and came to Mu Huanqing's side, hacking apart the formations surrounding her.

"Commander Xia, it's time for you to uphold justice," said Jiang Ling as he looked at Xia Mo.

"Alas!"

Xia Mo, looking at the myriad figures in the sky, could only let out a deep sigh.

He turned and discarded his Sunlight Sword in his hand, and said bitterly, "You two girls promise me, once we get there, at least clarify everything before you act. Xia Yuntian, he has contributed much to the Human Race in his life, an upright person, a hero."

Without a word, Mu Huanqing turned and flew towards the direction of the Tiandao Sword Sect.

Behind her followed a massive army of thousands, a mix of black and white, vast and formidable.

Xia Mo shook his head and turned to follow as well.

Jiang Ling wanted him to officiate justice, which actually just meant making everything look more respectable. As long as he, the Commander-in-Chief, was present, whatever Mu Huanqing did would be the right thing.

Because if Mu Huanqing did something wrong, with the Commander-in-Chief of the Central Area present, wouldn't the Commander-in-Chief have the power to stop it?

Similarly, if the Commander-in-Chief didn't stop it while present, it meant Mu Huanqing hadn't done anything wrong.

"We should follow too. When the Nine-headed Serpent's full form appeared, it was Fang Ren who bore it all alone. Investigating his cause of death is the responsibility we owe him!"

A general in the sky spoke up and then followed Xia Mo toward the distance.

"General Liang, wait for me; let's go together."

In just a few words, a group of warriors also swiftly followed behind Xia Mo.

Bai Chaojin was powerless despite his willingness to help; that blow from Mu Huanqing still caused his blood to surge, and if he were to fly to the Tiandao Sword Sect from here, he'd probably faint from spitting blood halfway there.

Moreover, he had very important matters to attend to tomorrow, so he must rest well today.

This rest might well be his last...

After all, once the matters of Indra Sky were made public, he would certainly have to redeem himself with death.

"Qi'er, are you going as well?"

Bai Chaojin's heart clenched with unspeakable bitterness as he watched his granddaughter standing dazed in the sky.

Af all, Fang Ren was her official fiancé and future grandson-in-law of Bai Chaojin.

He hated the traitors who betrayed the Human Race and caused Fang Ren to die in battle, but he had no capacity to go to the Sword Sect.

"Go! I must go!"

Bai Qi suddenly turned her head, and the pressure around her dispersed once again.

A surge of unbearable emotion violently erupted.

Seeing his granddaughter's clenched teeth and red eyes, Bai Chaojin finally understood why she was so determined to conduct the experiment this morning – it was all for that Fang Ren.

"Yes."

Bai Chaojin nodded, suddenly having so much he wanted to say to his granddaughter, but at that moment, he could not find the words.

He didn't want to tell Bai Qi that he was a demon, nor did he want her to know that his experiments resulted from the lives of many warriors. He wanted her to understand that everything her grandfather did was for the Human Race, but he felt that he had no right to say such things.

For over the sea, the Spirit Form of Fang Ren that pierced the sky seemed to be constantly telling him—he had been wrong all along.

None of the outcomes were related to the laws of marriage.

Eventually, Bai Chaojin remained silent. He turned around and led the heavily injured generals in the sky towards Tianjiang, which was now roughly eighty percent destroyed.

As everyone left, only Bai Qi and the giant gray Spirit Form on the sea's surface remained in the sky.

"Through fire and water..."

Looking at the young Qianye before her, memories of Bai Qi's past flooded her mind like a tide.

That day, on the noisy street.

It was noon, and the sunlight was a bit harsh.

In the crowded crowd, she stepped in a pair of broken white canvas shoes, clutching tightly to a stack of cash Fang Ren gave her, while twenty meters away on the roadside was the figure of Fang Ren with the young Qianye.

The street, twenty meters wide, bustled with people coming and going.

Her view was obstructed by the throng, and she couldn't see Fang Ren clearly.

She would never forget how she felt at that time.

She was so delighted.

Because she was finally free, her marriage no longer bound.

She could confidently pursue the person she wanted to spend her life with.

But now, looking back, she realized how naïve she had been.

She even arrogantly thought that Fang Ren, upon seeing her beauty, would resolutely refuse to break off the engagement.

But now she knew that she looked dirty at the time, how could she have caught Fang Ren's fancy?

And back then, Fang Ren, like a nice guy, knew she was there to break off the engagement but still took her out to eat and gave her money for the trip home.

Every time she thought of his face standing by the roadside, her heart ached for a long time.

What she thought was within easy reach, reality had taught her that the hearts of two people could be so far apart.

"I, Bai Qi, am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

That was the most resolute thing she ever said, standing on the street under the blazing sun in her life.

At the time, she was just too excited about the annulment of the engagement and acted rashly.

She never imagined that she would take this impulsive promise so seriously today.

…

Behind her, the Rose Cross Sword slowly emerged on the sea's surface.

The roses on it were so enchanting.

But they could not compare to the redness of her eyes at that moment.
