Chapter 313 : 308: Main Force Warrior, All Members Enter_1
Although the advancement in realm was a cause for great joy, Fang Ren just couldn't seem to feel happy at the moment. He didn't know how to face Mu Hui Qing, let alone bring up this embarrassing matter.
But he didn't have much time to dwell on it at the moment; all he wanted was to quickly find Mu Hui Qing and ensure her safety.
As he got closer to the central battlefield, Fang Ren realized just how fierce the battle was. He couldn't even guarantee that he would survive to find Mu Hui Qing.
"Qianye."
He softly called out to his Spirit Form, thinking that he should wake Qianye up before charging in, as he didn't know what difficulties he might face. It was better to be safe than sorry.
Moreover, with his recent realm breakthrough, Qianye should take him to the great tree to pick a fruit.
But as his voice fell, there was no response from Qianye.
"Qianye?"
Again he called out, but still received no response.
Fang Ren then used his Divine Sense to probe into his Spiritual Root, checking on the condition of his Spirit Form.
When his Divine Sense passed through the Spiritual Root and came to the giant tree in the darkness, he found that Qianye was actually lying inside a purple orb, asleep.
Fang Ren tried to touch the purple orb but discovered that he could not penetrate it; he could only try to wake Qianye up with his voice.
After several attempts, the result was the same; Qianye remained asleep, completely oblivious to his calls.
As for the purple orb, Fang Ren had initially thought to forcefully open it, but after observing for a while, he realized that the orb was continuously nourishing Qianye, seemingly beneficial and harmless to him.
This was probably the result of his dual cultivation with Bai Qi.
He shook his head, trying not to think further; the more he thought, the more muddled his mind became.
Fang Ren withdrew his Divine Sense from within the Spirit Form and continued towards the central battlefield.
"Buzz—"
Just as Fang Ren was rushing towards the battlefield, suddenly a black beam of light streaked across the sky not far from him.
The speed of the light was incredibly strange. He had seen Mu Hui Qing fly at full speed, which could accurately be described as covering half a mile in a single step, but this beam was clearly faster, comparable to Jiang Ling at full speed after breaking through to the Xuan Ye Realm.
Could it be Jiang Ling?
He quickly dismissed this idea; although Jiang Ling's True Qi was also black, this beam did not carry Jiang Ling's aura. Instead, it had a hint of the Void's scent.
A Void beast?
But when did Void beasts become so small?
In a moment of bewilderment, Fang Ren remembered something Jiang Ling had once told him; in the mountains behind the Fang Family in Tianjiang, there hid an expert of the Xuan Ye Realm whose identity was unknown to everyone publicly.
Another piece of information was that this Xuan Ye Realm expert had connections with Fang Family's right faction and Fang Ye.
Watching the black beam disappear into the horizon, Fang Ren put his thoughts aside and continued his rush toward the central battlefield, only caring about finding Mu Hui Qing, everything else was trivial.
In terms of pills, her storage ring contained over a dozen fifth-order recovery type pills given to her by Fang Ren, but she dared not take them just yet. She feared that if she used up all the pills and still failed to defeat the Giant Snake, it would be a waste. So she wanted to replenish her pills only when she was extremely weak; otherwise, it would be squandered.
Although the alchemists in the Central Area could produce many pills daily, when distributed among the various battle zones, each general could only have at most two fifth-order pills, and some had even run out.
"Silly girl! If you don't take it, you're going to die!" Mu Tianyuan couldn't help but chide her.
"It's okay, I know my own limits."
As she spoke, Mu Huanqing took out a few pills that emitted golden light from her storage ring and placed them in Mu Tianyuan's hand, continuing, "These are True Essence Pills; they can restore a large amount of True Qi in a short time. You keep them, I still have a lot here."
Mu Tianyuan looked at the pills in her hand, and then at Mu Huanqing's ring, her face devoid of any relief, instead becoming serious, "How has that boy treated you?"
When Mu Huanqing had lost her cultivation level, Mu Tianyuan saw her silent and thought she might have suicidal tendencies, which is why she sought out Shang Han to bring Fang Ren and Mu Huanqing together. After all, a hidden boy from the Fang family and a girl from the Mu family, who was considered dead by everyone, seemed like the most suitable match in Mu Tianyuan's view.
But now, what Mu Tianyuan was most worried about was how Fang Ren treated her daughter, for she had only Mu Huanqing as her daughter.
"Ah Ran?" Taking her mother's question, a smile inevitably surfaced on Mu Huanqing's face, "He treasures me like his life, Mother needn't worry."
Seeing Mu Huanqing's expression and hearing her words, Mu Tianyuan was stunned for a moment. In her memory, her daughter rarely smiled and was always very meticulous with her words. If Mu Huanqing could say this, then the boy from the Fang family must truly cherish her daughter.
"Then I'm at ease."
Having said that, Mu Tianyuan turned to rush towards the edge of the large formation, but the sudden appearance of a figure made her stop in her tracks.
"Qing'er!"
Shang Han, carrying old wounds, still joined the central battlefield along with a legion of generals, but having previously unleashed a forbidden art, his realm had plummeted, and reaching here was almost a desperate struggle at the cost of his life.
"Father..."
Seeing Shang Han's arrival, Mu Huanqing froze, then immediately became frantic, "Xiao Xuan didn't go to find you?!"
Xiao Xuan was the name of the female soldier entrusted with Mu Huanqing's child.
"Don't worry, the child is fine, Xiao Xuan stayed behind to take care of her in the military district," Shang Han said as he came closer, assuring Mu Huanqing about her child's safety.
"That's good, that's good..." A weight lifted off Mu Huanqing's heart as she learned her child was safe.
"Child? What child?"
Upon hearing the words "child," Mu Tianyuan became unsettled and immediately grabbed Shang Han's ear, loudly demanding an explanation.
Shang Han winced with his ears gripped by his wife, thinking that he, a District Chief of the Ninth District, was losing face during this great battle.
"You're going to be a grandmother, and you're still so violent!" Shang Han slapped Mu Tianyuan's hand and whispered.
"What did you say!?"
Mu Tianyuan was thunderstruck, "Grandmother!?"
Seeing her stunned, Shang Han quickly withdrew from her grasp and earnestly said, "Stop dwelling on it! How can we be concerned with affairs of children in the face of a great battle?"
With that, he rushed towards the edge of the large formation to join the generals in bracing the Formation against the onslaught.
Thankfully, his reflexes were quick, and hopefully, no one saw him being tugged by the ear by his wife...
