Chapter 272: 367 Chapter: Scapegoat Under the Nightfall_1
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.
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.
