Chapter 288: Chapter 383: Bai Qi is Captured_1
On the morning of the next day, Fang Ren awoke from his cultivation practice, noticing almost no change in his realm. It was as if he had reached a bottleneck, stuck at the Peak of Azure Sky, unable to advance further.
With a somewhat depressed mood, Fang Ren opened the window and looked out at the sky, observing the sun that had not long since risen. By this time, the number of Tianjiang City's patrolling soldiers had decreased significantly, probably having combed through Tianjiang City the previous night without spotting any suspicious characters.
Fang Ren then turned to glance at the Void Hole in the sky and yanked little Qianye over, saying, "Qianye, sense again. Have those Void beasts up there left?"
Little Qianye blinked and replied, "The number increased by three thousand, hee-hah."
"Increased?" Fang Ren was startled. "Are you sure you're not mistaken, kiddo? It's over three hundred thousand! And it's still increasing?"
"No mistake, hee-hah," little Qianye nodded and said.
"Then can you sense when that Ninth-order Void Beast they're waiting for will appear?"
"Cannot, hee-hah."
Fang Ren felt helpless; this little guy was only able to inform him when trouble was brewing but offered no solutions to get them out of it, leaving him to fret on his own.
"Forget it, for now, the most urgent task is to quickly go and inform Hui Qing so she can set up the Formation. I reckon by the time the Bai Family starts trouble with me, these Void beasts will be picking a fight with everyone."
With that thought, Fang Ren grabbed little Qianye and stuffed him into his pocket, then flew straight out of the hotel window.
There was about an hour left before the start of the Elixir Competition, and by all logic, Bai Qi should have already awakened early and bombarded Fang Ren's phone, urging him to take her out for a meal.
But today was a bit odd. Not to mention that he had encountered an assassination attempt last night, according to Bai Qi's personality, she should have called him. Even the morning call to hasten him for breakfast was strangely missing; not a single message from that girl had been received on his phone.
Had she overslept?
However, what he couldn't understand was why Bai Chaojin would suddenly hand over Bai Qi to Indra Sky. Had Indra Sky's technology made a new breakthrough? Fang Ren felt this was very likely.
"Shit! It seems that the Fifth-order Void Beast from before was the last step of the experiment for Bai Qi by Indra Sky! If I could have killed that Void Beast back then, there wouldn't have been so much trouble!"
As Fang Ren hastened on his way, he took out his mobile phone and dialed Jiang Ling's number. The call connected within a few seconds after the number was dialed.
"What, only now you remember to call and thank me?" Jiang Ling's voice came from the other end, laughing.
"Leader Jiang! I have an urgent matter! Last night, Bai Qi was taken away by Indra Sky!" Fang Ren said excitedly.
There was silence for a second on the phone before Jiang Ling's voice became instantly serious, "What! Last night? Wasn't she taken away by soldiers?"
Just last night, Jiang Ling clearly remembered battling in the sky, spotting Bai Qi, whose cultivation level was still restricted. She had thought about taking Bai Qi away to prevent Indra Sky's next move, but regrettably, Tianjiang had deployed too many soldiers, leaving her no opportunity to do so.
Moreover, when Mu Hui helped her break through, she still had no chance to capture Bai Qi. After all, though Mu Hui was indeed helping her break out, if she took Bai Qi, Mu Hui probably wouldn't continue to help her.
"There's no time to explain now! Leader Jiang! I'm sending you live location updates; hurry over!" shouted Fang Ren, then he hung up.
In the sky above a certain city outside Tianjiang, Jiang Ling was dressed in a red robe, her face covered with a mask of black aura, one hand holding a black long sword, the other holding a mobile phone.
In that moment, she didn't immediately fly towards Fang Ren's location but hovered mid-air, immersed in her personal dilemma.
The experiments on Bai Qi were originally intended to create a being capable of shattering the Void, but because Indra Sky had killed who knows how many people to achieve this goal, the Nightfall Organization had become their enemy.
But now that Bai Qi's experiment had started, it meant Indra Sky's plan was nearing its end. If Bai Qi's experiment succeeded, then Indra Sky wouldn't have to capture innocent practitioners anymore, and it would create an unparalleled entity for Earth.
Before, they wanted to capture Bai Qi to prevent Indra Sky from creating the Ultimate Body, forcing them to stop experimenting on practitioners, but with things having reached this point... was there still a need to capture Bai Qi?
And was there still a need to stop Indra Sky?
