From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Jiang Ling saw Mu Huanqing becoming entirely silent; the anxiety within her heart gradually calmed down.

Actually, this time, Fang Ren had turned her into an assassin genius, a killer of talents, and she didn't feel wronged by the hatred of everyone. On the contrary, she was quite thankful to Fang Ren for providing her with this rare opportunity to have a quiet, detailed conversation with Mu Huanqing.

If persuading Mu Huanqing failed, the result of declaring war on the Central Area would undoubtedly be a fight to the death between her and Mu Huanqing. Although Mu Huanqing's realm was only at the Peak Xuanyang Level, records of Mu Huanqing's capability to challenge beyond her level had only been broken by Fang Ren so far.

If they truly fought, she was certain she could beat Mu Huanqing, but the cost of winning would be her severe injury or her True Qi being on the verge of exhaustion.

Jiang Ling looked up at the distant horizon and spoke, "Our pursuers have arrived. We don't have much time to talk today. If there's anything else, you can meet me later, and I'll explain then."

With those words, True Qi rotation began in Jiang Ling's body, turning her into a streak of black light that surged towards the distant sky. Her figure had already vanished, but her voice remained, "None of your Nine Heavens Corps soldiers were harmed by me."

Mu Huanqing looked up at the streak of black light, and after a long while, her gaze returned to the bottle in her hand. As she looked at the fifth-level medicinal pill inside, her heart grew increasingly complex.

She wouldn't consume this medicinal pill. Although she believed some of what Jiang Ling had said, the image of evil she associated with the Nightfall Organization had been rooted in her mind for over twenty years.

What made this image more credible to her was that over the years, she had witnessed first-hand the evil perpetrated by members of the Nightfall Organization. They killed and seized lives indiscriminately and without purpose. At the time, she was just a teenage girl who was beginning to understand the cruelty of bloodshed.

Those memories all originated from members of the Nightfall Organization.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Just as she was preparing to rise and leave to confront Fang Ren for answers, suddenly thousands of streaks of light descended from the sky. They were the soldiers of Tianjiang in pursuit.

"Madame Xuan! Are you alright?" Several female soldiers from the Nine Heavens Corps immediately ran over when they saw the weakened Mu Huanqing, their faces filled with concern.

Several generals nearby saw this and clenched their fists in frustration, "This Jiang Ling... not even Madame Xuan has a way to deal with her!"

Mu Huanqing put away the fifth-level medicinal pill, True Qi began to circulate in her body once more, supporting herself to float in the air as she donned silver battle armor.

"Although I'm gravely injured, she isn't much better off," Mu Huanqing said with a frosty face.

At such times, she couldn't demoralize the troops of Tianjiang, especially with the Void still in such chaos. If the soldiers became distracted thinking of the Nightfall Organization, facing the Void beasts would inevitably lead many to despair, thinking that even if they conquered the Void, they couldn't defeat the Nightfall.

"If it wasn't for having to rescue Young Master Fang, she wouldn't have had a chance to injure me like this," Mu Huanqing said.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers suddenly remembered the black barrier sphere that Jiang Ling had created before, which was probably intended to eliminate Fang Ren, but which Madame Xuan had taken on instead.

That meant that Madame Xuan was managing an even fight with the opponent even after falling victim to one of their curse techniques.

This realization set many soldiers at ease, as it seemed that Madame Xuan was indeed the stronger one.

Within the crowd, Song Mobei clenched his teeth tightly, bewildered that the gap between him and Mu Huanqing was so great. Jiang Ling's single move had shaken him, yet Mu Huanqing managed to fight Jiang Ling to a standstill.

He had always believed the difference between him and Mu Huanqing to be a mere half-step in realm, being already at the Half-step Sunlight Peak Realm himself, but now it appeared he had been too arrogant.

"You all continue to expand the search area here. Jiang Ling, being injured, surely won't dare to turn back; pay extra attention to any other members of the Nightfall Organization," Mu Huanqing instructed.

Leaving behind these words, she flew into the sky, heading towards Tianjiang City.

The troops, upon hearing of Jiang Ling's serious injuries, scattered like chickens with their heads cut off, eager to claim her head as a great achievement. The person who would kill her would surely become known throughout the world, and their name would be passed down to posterity.

Up in the sky over a certain part of Tianjiang, Head of Liu Family, Liu Dongfeng, was enveloped in True Qi as he carried Fang Ren, rushing toward the medical district.

Fang Ren touched his chest, where the formation that concealed the child was still actively running. It seemed that Mu Huanqing's venture to escort Jiang Ling out of the city didn't deplete all her True Qi; otherwise, the formation on his body would have dissipated swiftly.

Seeing that he was only minutes away from being taken to the medical district by Liu Dongfeng, he no longer continued to feign unconsciousness and hurriedly opened his eyes, pretending to cough painfully.

"Cough cough cough..."

"Young Master Fang! Are you alright?" Liu Dongfeng frowned, increasing his speed, "Hold on, we'll be there soon and you will be saved!"

Upon hearing these words, Fang Ren stopped pretending and, with a whoosh, detached himself from the True Qi shield that Liu Dongfeng had created around him, floating in midair, his face wearing an extremely solemn, theatrical expression.

If he really arrived at the medical district, a group of top Grandmasters would examine him, and it would be somewhat strange to find not a single injury on his body.

"Young Master Fang... What are you doing..."

Liu Dongfeng was stunned, for Fang Ren had been looking like he was on the brink of death just moments ago. How could he suddenly be capable of manipulating True Qi and flying on his own?

"My thanks for your concern, Head of Liu Family. I have now managed to force out the poison from Jiang Ling from my body," Fang Ren said while holding his chest.

"You... You're alright now?"

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Head of Liu Family."

"What exactly happened just now?" Seeing that Fang Ren's aura had softened and indeed he looked unharmed, Liu Dongfeng furrowed his brow and asked.

Fang Ren's condensed expression immediately turned to one of deep hatred as he said, "It was all the Nightfall Organization! Seeing that I had conflicts with the Tiandao Sword Sect, they immediately wanted to kill me and frame the Sword Sect. They were just waiting for the Fang Family and the Sword Sect to turn against each other, so they could reap the benefits.

If it hadn't been for Madame Xuan's timely arrival, I would have been chopped down by Jiang Ling! Even though Madame Xuan blocked their attacks for me, it was impossible to break the curse of their cultivation technique instantly. In the end, it was Madame Xuan who helped me, expending a tremendous amount of vital energy to save me from danger."

Upon hearing this, Liu Dongfeng's heart filled with indignation. Although he was only the leader of an Aristocratic Family at the outskirts of Tianjiang and harbored strong aspirations to climb higher, it didn't mean he wanted to see humans fighting among themselves.

The current situation called for human unity in the face of a common enemy, and his Liu Family was definitely not like those inhuman cowards of the Nightfall Organization!

"Damn it! The Nightfall Organization is despicably vile!"

Liu Dongfeng clenched his fists, "Young Master Fang, you should hurry back to your family. The whole city is on alert, and there are people everywhere ready to assist you. I must report this matter to the Central Area immediately! We can't let Nightfall continue like this any longer!"

With that said, Liu Dongfeng flew directly towards the Central Area.

Watching his departing figure, Fang Ren revealed a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth, "Great, I've let Nightfall take the blame for me again..."

Looking back, it seemed that the Nightfall Organization had already taken the blame for him three times. Poor Jiang Ling.
