From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Having said that, Bai Chaojin continued to make his way toward the largest black serpent head.

Behind him, Fang Ren's face showed no expression; of course, he wouldn't believe Bai Chaojin's words. If Bai Chaojin were truly honorable, then Jiang Ling's husband would not have been killed.

Of course, Bai Chaojin's statement, "After everything is over, I will go to the afterlife and atone to the heroic dead," did stir some feelings in Fang Ren. A person who has committed so many sins, especially an old one, must harbor some desire for redemption.

After all… the ultimate aim of the high-ranking officials in the Central Area, from the beginning until now, was to ensure a secure life for the humans on Earth, and that never changed.

But his and Mu Huanqing's situation probably wasn't as simple as Bai Chaojin made it out to be.

"Commander, please unseal this head. Otherwise, our guiding equipment will not be able to extract the Void Energy within," a research staff member pushing the gigantic head entreated Bai Chaojin.

Without a word, Bai Chaojin formed a small Formation with his hands and slapped the three-meter-high serpent head. In a flash, blue Arrays began to appear on the entire black serpent head.

As the small Formation from Bai Chaojin's hand integrated, the entire Blue Array began to operate, turning into strands of blue silk that started to fall away from the black serpent head.

Following that, as the blue silk detached, the black serpent head suddenly opened a pair of enormous golden pupils. It swiftly scanned all the objects in the laboratory and then opened its gaping maw toward Bai Chaojin standing directly in front of it. A pair of massive fangs lunged at Bai Chaojin's head.

Boom—

Suddenly, True Qi burst forth from Bai Chaojin's body, and he struck the black serpent head with his palm. The powerful True Qi made the entire laboratory tremble, and the giant fangs shattered straight out of the serpent's mouth!

Hiss—

The serpent head, in pain, emitted a sound akin to a gas leak. Following that, its golden eyes rolled back, and it fell unconscious.

"This creature has been severed from its main body for so long and yet it's not fully weakened." Bai Chaojin frowned at the black serpent head, "Using this thing's Void Energy, can Qi'er withstand it?"

A research staff member nearby said, "According to our recent calculations, as long as Young Master Fang is willing to go all out to suppress, the Void Energy within the serpent's head won't pose a threat to the Princess."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chaojin promptly declared, "Continue the experiment."

Several research staff members immediately pushed the gigantic serpent head into the experimental device, and they began to insert various types of energy conduits onto the black serpent head.

Bai Chaojin turned back to look at Fang Ren and spoke, "Fang Family's boy, it's time for you to lend a hand."

Clenching his teeth and frowning, Fang Ren knew he couldn't refuse. If he did, Bai Qi would die, and he couldn't possibly let Bai Qi, the girl who came here because she liked him, just die like that.

The research staff had also said that Bai Qi's current state of feigned death was irreversible, and the only chance for survival was to see the experiment through to the end.

Without replying to Bai Chaojin, Fang Ren immediately joined the group of research staff. Looking at Bai Qi inside the shattered giant glass wall, and the black serpent head on the other side, he couldn't shake this ominous premonition.

This foreboding feeling was far stronger than the fact he was in the Indra Sky Laboratory Headquarters at the time.

What was it?

Fang Ren suddenly became bewildered.

"Young Master Fang, please lie down beside Princess Bai Xi," a researcher walked over very respectfully and said to Fang Ren.

Fang Ren was indifferent, not saying much, and went into the glass wall. He lay down on another experimental bed that was brought over by the research staff next to the bed where Bai Qi was lying.

He had understood from what these people said before that they wanted to use his abilities to suppress the Void Energy—something he was aware of; after all, when Jiang Ling was breaking through, it was he who suppressed the Void Energy.

The Spiritual Root within him had the capacity to clash head-on with the Void Energy.

"Young Master Fang, please hold the Princess's hand," another research staff member instructed.

Fang Ren frowned slightly, but without any objection, he gently grasped Bai Qi's stiff and cold hand.

The moment he grasped Bai Qi's hand, Fang Ren went blank. He could sense the aura of his own Spiritual Root coming from her, and at this moment, the feeling was noticeably strong, even more than when they had had more physical contact before.

Fang Ren turned to look at Bai Qi's abdomen. The energy within her was completely released without any form of protection.

Logically speaking, Practitioners who cultivate above the Cloud Layer realm should always keep their True Qi in a protective state. Yet, Bai Qi did not have any protection—an indication of true death.

Aside from this, observing the True Qi constantly circulating in Bai Qi's abdomen, she seemed like a living person. This state was too strange, no wonder these research staff referred to her as a "living dead."

And precisely because of this state, the Spiritual Root that had been transplanted from Fang Ren without any disguise, laid bare under Fang Ren's True Qi sense, hence the strong feeling.

"Confirming the transfer tubes are correct, equipment is verified accurate. The Void Energy calculation range is safe; Princess Bai Xi's body data is declining…"

"Proceed with the experiment quickly! Energy transfer, commence!"

"Young Master Fang, please transmit True Qi to the grey Spiritual Root inside Princess Bai Xi, or enhance the Spiritual Root within her if possible. If neither of these methods work, then please proceed with mouth-to-mouth contact."

...

"Mouth-to-mouth contact?"

Fang Ren was baffled. He could understand the first two methods of transferring energy, but what the hell was this mouth-to-mouth contact about?

What a joke!

Fortunately, Fang Ren was capable of both the aforementioned methods. It was better to opt for energy transfer.

Hum—

The roaring sound of the massive engine made Fang Ren frown. Shortly afterward, he began to transmit his True Qi through his hands into Bai Qi's body.

However, he couldn't transfer too much at once; he hadn't forgotten the incident that had previously taken place in the classroom...

Truly frightening.
