From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 279: Chapter 374: Then Become That Person_1

"If only I didn't have this seal on me..."

Bai Qi lay on the windowsill, her gaze dimly looking at her own hands, murmuring to herself.

A few seconds later, she shook her head, acknowledging the truth in her own words. She suddenly realized that even if she didn't have the seal, she wouldn't have been able to help Fang Ren either.

Xuan Yang Realm mid-stage practitioners were sent flying with one move by the Leader of Nightfall, and she had only broken through to the early stage of the Xuan Yang Realm by borrowing Fang Ren's Spiritual Root abilities. Moreover, since her breakthrough, she hadn't cultivated at all and was certainly no match for an ordinary Xuan Yang Realm practitioner.

In the end, she would have only gone to her death.

"If only my talent were stronger... strong enough to break this seal, strong enough to stand against the Leader of Nightfall, then he definitely wouldn't have been hurt..."

Bai Qi tightly grasped her other wrist with one hand, a faint glimmer of light flashing in her eyes. This matter saddened her deeply and filled her with self-blame.

The casual words she had once said to Fang Ren had, in fact, been taken very seriously by herself. She believed that braving fire and boiling water for him was her duty since without Fang Ren, Bai Qi would not be alive.

But her actions were not just about gratitude; her personal feelings were also involved.

Just as she was lost in silence all by herself, suddenly, a figure flew from afar—it was the butler, Chen Cheng.

"Miss, I just made a trip to the Special Medical District, and they all said they haven't received Young Master Fang. Fortunately, on my way back, I met the Head of Liu Family, who told me that Young Master Fang is safe and sound," Chen Cheng spoke directly.

"He's alright?"

Bai Qi snapped out of her world, listening to Chen Cheng's words, she was stunned. She clearly remembered that when Sister Hui Qing had carried Fang Ren out, she said that Fang Ren had been cursed. How could he suddenly be all right?

"I don't know the details myself," Chen Cheng said. "But don't worry, miss. Young Master Fang is a once-in-a-generation cultivation talent. He survived being injured by Princess Fulan in the arena with no lingering issues, so he will definitely be fine this time too. And this was personally confirmed by the Head of Liu Family, so there's no doubt about it."

"That's good..."

Bai Qi was dazed for a few seconds, then nodded dismally. Logically, she should have been happy that Fang Ren was not in danger, but at the moment, she couldn't feel any happiness in her heart.

Yet even with such immense power, she would still be no match for the Leader of Nightfall.

Not enough, not nearly enough.

"Steward Grandpa, please make another trip back to the family clan later and ask my grandfather if there is any way for me to rapidly enhance my strength. I don't care about the side effects," Bai Qi said.

Chen Cheng was taken aback, clearly understanding what Bai Qi had in mind, and nodded, "I will head back to the clan once again, Miss. You just focus on stabilizing your realm without worry."

"Good."

It had been three hours since the "assassination" attempt on Fang Ren that was meant to incriminate the Tiandao Sword Sect. All of Tianjiang was in a state of panic, and the internet was in an uproar.

The Xuan Ye Realm, a level never before reached by humans, had been attained by the leader of the world's most ruthless organization. It was undoubtedly something most people around the world could not accept.

Only a small portion of people could accept it, divided into three types. One type was those linked to the Nightfall Organization, like Fang Ren and its members, who naturally accepted this reality.

The second type was like Fang Ye, whose right faction of the Fang Family didn't think the matter too serious. Although Jiang Ling's death would have guaranteed Patriarch of Fang family an additional level of security when coming out of seclusion, Jiang Ling's survival might allow them profit during a future major conflict with Tianjiang. Naturally, they could accept Jiang Ling's strength.

As long as Jiang Ling was alive, they most hoped to see Jiang Ling fight strenuously against the Central Area, especially against the Bai Family, and utterly defeat them. That was what the right faction of the Fang Family most wanted to see.

The third type of people who could accept Jiang Ling's breakthrough belonged to those who possessed the strength to contend with him or would soon have such strength. Hence, while Jiang Ling's realm was terrifying, it did not mean those people were frightened.

Of course, only two individuals belonged to this third type: Mu Huanqing and Liu Qianqian.

The former was very confident in facing Jiang Ling, as her formations could kill even an Immortal.

As for the latter... she was in a certain room, furiously cultivating, absorbing nature's spiritual energy.
