From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Meanwhile, at the bottom of the sea, inside a submarine moving away from the Central Island, Fang Ren's body leaned against the iron door, his breathing rapid, his eyes focused on Bai Qi lying unconscious on the bed, his pupils clouded with a mix of daze and innate desire.

He feared that if he only slightly approached Bai Qi, saw her face, or caught the scent of her, he would instantly lose his sanity. He could only lean as far away from the bed as possible, hoping that he would soon lose consciousness, pass out, and wake up to find that nothing had happened.

But, as it turned out, Fang Ren had oversimplified the situation.

Over an hour had passed on the room's clock, yet he showed no signs of fainting; instead, his body only grew hotter and his instincts, stronger.

"Qianye…"

He had tried calling for Little Qianye many times, but there was no response; the drug had not only blocked his spiritual energy but also cut off his communication with Spirit Form.

In such a state, Fang Ren pondered whether letting his head explode might rid him of the drug's effects, as long as his heart remained, he could be reborn. The method seemed feasible, but he lacked the strength to wreck his own body; leaning against the wall was already a struggle.

Shaking his head to stay alert, Fang Ren glanced at his phone again, only to find no missed calls, casting another shadow over his heart.

When he first started making calls, he was relieved the submarine hadn't dived deep and that his phone was still in a serviceable area. But to his dismay, he had made several calls to Jiang Ling, only to be told that the recipient's phone was off. He had also called Mu Huanqing many times, but no one answered – the same was true for Shang Han.

He had dialed everyone who could possibly help him, but the results were all the same – either no answer or switched off.

This peculiar phenomenon reminded him of a sentence he had overheard in the lab, where an experiment staff mentioned that the owner of the serpent's head had chased from the Void to Earth. That serpent's head belonged to a Ninth-order Void Beast, meaning that when he was moved onto the submarine, a Ninth-order Void Beast was already approaching the Central Area.

Ninth-order Void Beast…

Calls ended… no answers…

"Could it be!"

Fang Ren felt he could guess some of what was happening; Mu Huanqing and Shang Han, being from the combat zones, were surely off to intercept the Ninth-order Void Beast. As for Jiang Ling, the last time he contacted her in the Central Area, he could tell something was off; she must have encountered some serious trouble, causing her phone to break.

"It's over…"

Fang Ren gasped for air; he could think of no one else who could help him at this moment.

As time continued to pass, Fang Ren's pupils started to tremble, his physiological reactions nearing the point of overwhelming his reason.

Clinging to his last bit of sanity, Fang Ren hastily searched through his phone's contacts. He could feel his body beginning to move on its own; the beast within was about to break free.

Li Xingwang… Jing Haichuan… Jian Qi'er… Liu Qianqian…

The first two gentlemen could certainly not be counted on; Jian Qi'er might still have hope, but her Realm seemed not as strong as Liu Qianqian's. Moreover, Jian Qi'er was with Nightfall, and with the Nightfall leader in trouble, Jian Qi'er must be tied up. His only choice at this moment was Liu Qianqian.

Without a second thought, Fang Ren trembled as he rapidly dialed her number, and at the same time, he sent his location information to Liu Qianqian through the chat app.

Beep…

——

——

On a ruin in Tianjiang, medical students were rapidly evacuating the battlefield, Liu Qianqian charging at the forefront, clearing the path for her teachers and peers, carving a bloody trail through the enemy crowd.

"The rain is still falling; I'm like a joke…"

Liu Qianqian's phone ringtone suddenly rang out.

But in such moments, she had no time to answer the phone, as a dense swarm of Void Beasts ravaged in front of her while her classmate behind her suffered serious injuries.

Hum—

Just then, a dark glint swept in from the edge of the sky, piercing through the beasts blocking the path of the students, and instantly opening a pathway for Liu Qianqian.

Following that, tens of thousands of shadowy figures streaked across the sky, cutting down the surrounding Void Beasts as they made their way towards Central Island; behind this group of shadows, a white Large Formation rapidly rotated.

Everyone looked up to the sky, unsure which war zone this black-clad force belonged to, capable of annihilating tens of thousands of Void Beasts with mere hand gestures. The beasts that were pursuing the students seemed like mere paper in front of them...

In the crowd, Jian Qi'er's eyes trembled as she looked up at the sky.

The Nine Yin Gathering Spirit Array... these are all from the Nightfall Organization!

"We need to leave this place quickly!"

Seeing that the Void Beasts in front were wiped out, Teacher Huang hurriedly led the students away from the battlefield.

"... The most pitiful are those with sincere hearts who dare not reach out, the most absurd is true affection separated by chasms and ravines..."

The ringtone of the phone was still sounding; Liu Qianqian withdrew her gaze from the sky and took out her phone. The person calling her at this time must be the one who cared about her most.

After all, during their escape, every classmate's parents were incessantly calling to check in on them.

Fang Ren...

After seeing the caller ID, Liu Qianqian froze in place for half a second, then immediately pressed the answer button, unaware that the person who cared for her was also the one she was intensely worrying about.

"Where are you? I've been looking for you for a long time," Liu Qianqian said, her tone carrying a hint of reproach.

She had nearly searched the entire 13th sector of Tianjiang, hadn't seen him at all, and he hadn't even been answering his phone. Only now did he remember her.

"Huff..."

The phone did not transmit the concerned words she had expected, only Fang Ren's heavy breathing.

He sounded as if he had suffered some serious injury and was struggling to hold on.

"What... What happened to you?"

"Huff..."

Fang Ren wanted to speak but couldn't manage it; aside from the desire to get to the bed, he couldn't think of anything else.

"Hey! Where are you now? I'm coming to find you!"

"Huff..."

The response was only the sound of breathing, and Liu Qianqian couldn't help but grow even more anxious. She quickly logged into her YiXin app, ready to share her real-time location with Fang Ren, but found that he had already sent her a location through YiXin thirty seconds earlier.

Strangely, the location was in the sea not far from the outskirts of Central Area, with no landing spots, and by the sound of Fang Ren's voice, he wasn't in the water.

"Wait for me!"

Having said that, Liu Qianqian didn't dare hang up the phone and turned to inform Teacher Huang of the situation before flying toward the location on her phone.

In the previous battle, Liu Qianqian had used up a lot of her vital energy, but fortunately, she possessed a Sacred Body. Unlike ordinary practitioners, she didn't use spiritual energy but the Sacred Body's nature's spiritual energy, which she could use without needing to refine.
