Chapter 304: Chapter 399: The Patriarch of Fang Family Comes Out of Retirement_1
"What? Where's Liu Qianqian?"
Teacher Huang scanned the class of over fifty students. With the overwhelming number and the urgency of the crisis, he had failed to notice that apart from Bai Qi and Fang Ren, Liu Qianqian was also missing.
"I don't know, she just left this morning without saying anything," Li Xinyue frowned.
"Teacher! Jian Qi'er is also missing!" suddenly, a female student shouted.
After hearing this, Teacher Huang felt like he had been struck a heavy blow. In a city infested with Void beasts, most missing students were presumed to have met with misfortune. How would he explain to the parents of these missing students?
Seeing that a Void beast was about to crash to the ground, Teacher Huang couldn't think anymore. He immediately activated his mediocre True Qi and dashed toward the Nightfall Member lying on the ground.
"It's over..."
Jian Qi'er lay on the ground, feeble and numb. She couldn't muster any strength to move and, watching the Fifth-order Void Beast with its gaping maw coming at her from the sky, she felt for the first time that her life was at its end.
"Yuan Yan!"
Just as Teacher Huang was too late to save her and Jian Qi'er had given up hope, a resounding voice suddenly exploded in the sky.
Whir!
In an instant, the sky, which had been stained red with blood mist, became bright, and the temperature around started to soar rapidly.
The students hiding in the ruined building stared at the enormous fireball in the sky with a blank gaze. Then, as they saw a figure swiftly approaching the fireball, they were jolted from their stupor with a shock.
"Class president!"
Boom—
With a loud explosion in the air, Liu Qianqian, dressed in Yangming University's medical department uniform, appeared next to the giant fireball. Her body was enveloped by turbulent air, and the fireball behind her was not like a regular flame; it bore a color much deeper than that of ordinary flames—a blood red.
With not a trace of hesitation, Liu Qianqian's slender arm drew the huge fireball behind her, and with the speed of lightning, she flew toward the neck of the Void beast.
Whir—
The massive red fireball smashed heavily onto the body of the Void beast; the fireball shattered instantly. Streams of blood-red magma flowed out, causing the Void beast to wail in agony and abandon its attack on Jian Qi'er, turning to howl in mid-air instead.
It flapped its wings frantically trying to get the magma off its neck, but it could not extinguish it. The Void Energy within began to erupt, yet it still couldn't shake off the magma covering its body.
As the Void beast thrashed its body, the magma began to scatter in the air. The buildings that came into contact with this red magma were instantly melted by the high temperature.
Liu Qianqian's figure flew past Jian Qi'er, bringing her over to Teacher Huang's side, then turned back and charged toward the struggling Void beast in the sky.
Whir—
A buzzing sounded as Liu Qianqian rapidly threw two visible air spheres from her hands.
As the spheres made contact with the Void beast, the space around it suddenly distorted. The Void beast, which had been raging from the burns, was instantly immobilized by the twisted space, unable to move at all.
Whoosh—
When the space twisted to a certain extent, the body of the Void beast suddenly exploded, its flesh spraying in all directions.
The people hiding in the school building were stunned. Who would have thought that the one to kill this Fifth-order Void beast would be the usually gentle and dignified Liu Qianqian?
The most shocked was Jian Qi'er. This was a Fifth-order Void beast—how could Liu Qianqian have the power to kill it? Wasn't she just an ordinary person?
"Quick, let's get out of here!"
Without any delay, Liu Qianqian immediately blew open a path and led her classmates towards the city outskirts at full speed.

Skies of the Northern Sea of Tianjiang.
Tens of thousands of human soldiers were locked in battle with a sky-full of Void beasts, the entire sky obscured from view, while on the ground below, all living creatures were suffering, bodies piled into mountains.
Directly beneath this battlefield, there was a black fog more than a hundred meters wide, moving rapidly toward the North Sea.
"Die!"
A group of soldiers charged at the black fog, activating their most powerful cultivation techniques, but before they could unleash their techniques, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared within the fog.
Hiss—
The sound of a snake hissing arose, and those blood-colored eyes instantly transformed into a massive black snake head that burst out of the fog, swallowing a whole squad of soldiers, gear and all, in its gaping maw.
Seeing this, nearby squads of soldiers immediately intensified their attacks, countless streaks of light bombarding the black fog, which showed no sign of reaction, nor any slowing in its speed.

"Damn it! What the hell is this thing! Doesn't it get injured?" a general gasped in anger from the sky.
They had been attacking this mass of black fog for over an hour, yet it seemed completely unaffected by the damage, instead continuously devouring nearby cultivators and accelerating its movement.
"If this keeps up, even if we manage to lure it to the center of the sea, we won't be able to do a thing against it!"
"Not necessarily! As long as we can hold it back, Madame Xuan over there will be able to create a formation to annihilate it!"
"But… can this thing really be killed… We've lost over a hundred generals and haven't caused it the slightest injury!"
"Stop spouting nonsense! Just keep firing!"
...
Meanwhile, in the skies above the central area of the Northern Sea, Mu Huanqing's body was flickering with blue light, the patterns forming beneath her feet spreading into the surrounding sky, condensing into a massive circular formation.
A group of female soldiers from the Nine Heavens Corps were shielding her within, while outside, an overwhelming number of Void beasts roared, with blood still scattering ceaselessly, all resembling the end of the world.
...
The back mountain of the Fang Family estate.
Fang Ye, covered in wounds, dashed frantically into the protective barrier escaping from encircling Void beasts.
"Grandfather! Grandfather!"
Fang Ye, at over 40 years old, was shouting incessantly in the back mountain, his expression frantic like that of a child bullied outside.
Whizz—
A black shadow flew in, transforming into a gaunt old man in black robes who appeared in front of Fang Ye: "How did it go? That kid Bai Chaojin is really playing big, eh?"
"Grandfather, you were spot on! I just went to the Central Area and found out Jiang Ling from the Nightfall Organization and the Commander-in-Chief are fighting! It must be because of Fang Ren," said Fang Ye.
"Jiang Ling? The girl with the high potential from back then?" the old man frowned slightly.
"Yes, that's her! But Grandfather, we got one thing wrong, the person who advanced to the Xuan Ye realm wasn't Mu Hui, rather it was Jiang Ling!" said Fang Ye: "Which means, the person you sensed with Fang Ren that night was Jiang Ling! They have a connection! However, now that Jiang Ling has barged into the Central Area, this also indicates that Bai Chaojin has started experimenting with Fang Ren!
And with the chaos in Tianjiang right now, it's the perfect opportunity for us to seize the secrets of Indra Sky!"
Upon hearing this, a smile crept onto the old man's withered face: "That kid Bai Chaojin dares to use the younger generation of my Fang Family for experiments, he's tired of living!"
Whizz—
With that, the old man turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the back mountain.
Fang Ye, left alone, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. Compared to the results of the Indra Sky experiments, what did Fang Ren's life matter?
Shaking his head, Fang Ye immediately followed, leaving the back mountain to chase the old man's footsteps.
The thought that the Indra Sky would soon be under control of the Fang Family, that the entire Human Race would soon be dictated by the Fang Family, excited Fang Ye uncontrollably.
