Chapter 238: Chapter 344: The Great-Grandfather of the Fang Family_1
Jiang Ling looked out of the car window at the city, his brows deeply furrowed. He had just become the strongest in the world and now, all of a sudden, was inexplicably surpassed by someone else, which made him feel quite complicated.
"Based on my personal speculation, the two most likely candidates to have broken through to the Xuanyang realm within these 20 years are only two people. One is the family head of the Bai Family, Bai Chaojin, and the other is Xia Mo, the supreme authority of the Central Area. Both of them had already broken through to the mid-stage of the Xuanyang realm 20 years ago.
Although they are of advanced age, it's not impossible for them to break through two more realms in twenty years," said Jiang Ling.
"Bai Chaojin..."
Upon hearing this name, Fang Ren felt troubled. It was this old coot who had bound him and Bai Qi together, and now he even suspected that the original purpose of Bai Chaojin's arranging the marriage was not due to any debt of gratitude, but was a long-planned scheme to involve Bai Qi in the experiment more effectively.
"It doesn't matter which one of them it is, for our organization it would be a disaster." Jiang Ling continued, "However, I do have another question. If they have a Xuanyang realm powerhouse, why did they only send a group of Array Masters and one mid-stage Xuanyang realm expert to this crucial Indra Sky experiment base?
A Xuanyang realm powerhouse could easily wipe us out and ensure the experiment continues."
"Is it because they can't be spared from the Void war?" Fang Ren pondered then denied his own idea. "No, that's not right. There has never been a Xuanyang realm expert on the battlefield, otherwise, Hui Qing would have definitely informed me of such matters."
"So considering these points, if the Xuanyang realm powerhouse within Tianjiang is neither of them, who could it be..."
The two were entangled and unable to guess any probable answer for a long time.
"By the way, Leader Jiangling, since such a figure exists in Tianjiang, wouldn't I be discovered if you go there with me?" Fang Ren asked.
"It's fine. Both times this presence probed me were when I used my True Qi. It seems that even if their realm is stronger than mine, they still can't locate me when I'm not using my True Qi," Jiang Ling replied.
"That's a relief."

"Grandfather, it's not an issue of money or power, but the main ingredient of the Blood Heart Pill you need for recovery is the refined essence blood of our Fang Family's descendants. Using someone else's essence blood is completely ineffective for you."
"Essence blood?" the gaunt old man fiercely furrowed his brow, his aura suddenly surging, and he said coldly, "Are you telling me that the Blood Heart Pills are made from the lives of the Fang Family's descendants?"
Fang Ye was frightened into a cold sweat and quickly said, "Grandfather, please don't get agitated. These are the distant relatives of our Fang Family, and although related to you by blood, the connection is very slight. No matter what, I would never harm our own flesh and blood.
Besides, the Blood Heart Pill is only temporary, once we have acquired the research results from the Indra Sky, we will be able to utilize the essence blood of the Void beasts for your recovery."
The gaunt old man fell silent, but his deeply furrowed brows did not relax.
After all, suddenly learning that the pills he had been consuming for a long time were refined from the blood of some of his descendants was something he could not accept at the moment.
"Grandfather, regarding this matter, I hope you won't have too many reservations in your heart. You should think more about how all of this is for the future of humanity, that their sacrifices are worth it. Moreover, we will soon obtain the research results from Indra Sky and perfect your body," Fang Ye said, wiping off his cold sweat.
"Enough," the gaunt old man's aura subsided, and he said, "As you previously mentioned, my body is now filled with the aura of the Void, and I must not appear before people, or they will join forces to exterminate me as a being of the Void species. Therefore, many affairs in Tianjiang, and the organization in Indra Sky, will have to be dealt with by you all."
He had heard from Fang Ye that, in this era fifty years later, there was a lass named Mu Huanqing who had created a Large Formation to resist the Void. If the Formation were to operate at full strength, coupled with those old fogeys from the Central Area, there was a sixty percent chance they would annihilate him if they considered him a being from the Void.
However, all these speculations were based on his body not being perfected yet. Once his body was perfected, all such talk would be nonsense.
"Rest assured, Grandfather. You just focus on your cultivation here, and I will take care of everything outside. I guarantee that by the time you emerge, you will see the embryo of the world you envisioned," Fang Ye said.
With that, Fang Ye left the mountain and exited through a corner of the Formation.
This was the forbidden area of the Fang Family, previously accessible only to the important members of the family. However, now the Large Formation had been altered by Fang Ye's people, only he and the Patriarch of the Fang Family could come and go as they pleased.
Thankfully, none of this had been perceived by the others in the Fang Family, for that would have certainly led to a major incident.
After all, the Patriarch of the Fang Family, Fang Yun Zhong, who had been dead for fifty years and suddenly revived, was likely to be considered a Void species by most, given that he lacked the aura of a Human.
