Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Sudden Change (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch Qingfeng Wenxian, Zui Mingyue, and Huand Menghui)

After reflecting briefly, Fang Xing decided not to follow her and went straight back home.

For him, Bai Lianyi’s actions were of no concern to him, and he had no interest in other people’s private lives.

He had targeted Bai Lianyi last time only to help his best friend Liu Wei see through her true colors!

Now, it was unnecessary.

Anyway, he always acted upright and sat straight, fearing nothing.

His only goal now was to study hard, get into a top-tier university, and eventually join the Federation’s higher levels of reserve, then develop well, and he wouldn’t need to fear anything...

Beyond that, everything else was an illusion!

"Tsk, tsk... Holy Daughter, has your charm decreased? That Fang Xing has no interest in you..."

Inside a bridge arch, the damp ground was smeared with a copious amount of blood at some point, spreading to the walls like mahogany roots, sketching an eerie symbol of the ’Blood Gate.’

In front of this ’Blood Gate’ stood a person in a black robe, shrouded in darkness and indiscernible.

At this moment, the person in the black robe burst out into a hoarse laugh.

"Could it be... Liu Wei warned him?"

Bai Lianyi fiddled with the hem of her skirt, looking much like a timid neighborhood girl.

"I’ve never told that fool about the Divine Daughter..." the black-robed person said, unconcerned.

"He’s no fool, managing to connect with the Resistance Army and securing their acceptance, even fooling us along the way... If he’s the fool, then what are we? Brain-damaged?"

Bai Lianyi shook her head, "It seems... I’ll have to go myself, and when the time comes, I’ll need you to take care of cleaning up all the surrounding surveillance clues. That has always been your strength..."

Late at night.

Fang Xing ordered some takeout, prepared to spend the entire night gaming..., which was part of combining work and leisure.

His martial arts training was meant to elevate himself, to better enjoy life.

If he trained in martial arts just for the sake of training, wouldn’t he become just a fool or a rock?

’The Oiran in Qinglin Square has significantly dropped their prices...’

As he took off his holographic glasses, a thought flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

The next moment, he shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Suddenly, a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Didn’t my delivery already arrive?"

Fang Xing opened the door and saw Bai Lianyi in a white dress, looking pitiful: "Bai Classmate?"

"Ah Xing... help me..."

Bai Lianyi entered the room, as if recalling something terrifying, "Today while I was walking, I encountered it..."

She unzipped her backpack, revealing a strange gate inside.

"Hm? A gate?"

Fang Xing was startled and was about to act when Bai Lianyi suddenly grabbed his wrist.

His Dragon Scale Elephant Armor was already in motion, and he was about to retaliate when he realized he could not avert his eyes.

The gate, seemingly forged from bronze, every line on it appeared to interpret the fundamental truths of the world.

Merely looking at it made him feel liberated, blissful...

While entranced, Fang Xing’s limbs felt as if lead was poured into them, completely immobilizing him.

"Fang Student, it wasn’t easy to subdue you, alas... I’m not your match, but after worshipping my lord, it’s different..."

Bai Lianyi’s face bore a serene smile, "Come... join us... you have the potential to become a Divine Son..."

Fang Xing’s expression was wooden, frantically trying to move, but found it futile.

That bronze gate seemed to depict the true form of an Outer Realm Evil God and had been blessed!

Once opened, its mere aura almost rendered him motionless.

Fang Xing even doubted that if he hadn’t cultivated the Dragon Intent Realm and subdued the Tiger Realm and undergone twice Mud Pill Palace’s refinement, he might not even be able to think clearly.

"Don’t worry... it’ll be quick, just a few seconds."

Bai Lianyi looked incredibly devout, gripping Fang Xing tightly and comforting, then she began chanting an ancient and complicated spell, "We petition the Gate of Nothingness..."

She spoke in a language Fang Xing had never learned, but every note fell into his ears, and he understood the meaning instantly.

Crack!

Crack!

On that bronze gate, each line seemed to come alive, writhing...

Like gears turning, steam blaring...

The gate began to crack open, widening, seemingly about to fully open at any moment...

"After a few seconds... will I... be corrupted... by the Evil God?"

Feeling his thoughts slowing and sensing Bai Lianyi’s hands gripping him, Fang Xing had no other choice.

Three seconds later, a flash of silver.

Bai Lianyi’s vision blurred, and the scenery changed.

"Where is this? An illusion attack? Where’s my lord?"

She stared at the walls of a high-quality Cave Mansion in Qinglin Square, dazed.

But in the next instant, she felt what she grasped wasn’t a human form but a dragon elephant!

Roar Roar!

Once released from the control of the Evil God statue, Fang Xing instantly regained control of his body.

He circulated Qi throughout his body, causing a Dragon Roar and Tiger Roar to echo around him.

Dragon Intent Realm!

Tiger Subduing Realm!

Amid the void, dragons and tigers chaotically danced, and Fang Xing seized the moment.

On Bai Lianyi’s body, her originally pristine white dress suddenly transformed into a nano protective suit.

Her hands seemed like blooming lotuses, and her aura flowed continuously, unexpectedly breaking through to the Rough Jade Realm!

"So... this is your secret?"

Bai Lianyi, still shocked, looked around.

Then...

She saw Fang Xing raise his hand, summoning a Green Rainbow Sword into his palm with a vertical slash!

Second Rank Spirit Sword—Green Rainbow!

A green sword light, with an unmatched sharpness, abruptly swept across Bai Lianyi’s infinitely beautiful face.

This sword light was chillingly grim, yet amidst the sword’s hum, it seemed to carry all forms of human emotions, causing Bai Lianyi’s stunning face to lose focus momentarily, a teardrop slipping from the corner of her eye...

Then...

A blood line appeared on her forehead, white as jade, traveling across her delicate nose, her lips coated with shimmering pink lipstick, her smooth chin...

A loud crash!

Two halves of the body fell to the ground, immediately turned to ashes by Fang Xing tearing open a Fireball Talisman.

Anyone who knew his secret had to die!

"Turns out I inadvertently completed an experiment in transport..."

Fang Xing muttered to himself, approached the pile of ashes, pulled out several ’Soul-destroying Talismans’ and ’Evil-breaking Talismans’, infused them with Innate True Qi, and activated them one by one.

"Dare to harm me, have your soul scattered to the winds, not even fit to be ghosts..."

That scene had indeed been perilously fierce; Fang Xing didn’t wish to become a devotee of the Evil God, thus losing his self-consciousness, resembling a walking corpse.

Liu Wei might have escaped, possibly because he hadn’t been deeply immersed.

But considering Bai Lianyi’s regard for himself, it was unlikely she’d have another chance.

"Hmm?"

At that moment, Fang Xing noticed something unburned among Bai Lianyi’s ashes.

He cleared away some metal fragments and took out a piece of cloth.

This cloth, palm-sized and a dark golden color, seemed to be woven from some special material.

There was only a half-sun emblem on it.

Besides that, there were no signs of Evil God scriptures, Gates of Nothingness marks, and so forth...

"A token left by a devotee of the Evil God, what good can come of it? Moreover... it’s even incomplete."

Fang Xing thought for a moment, wrapped this half piece of cloth with Bai Lianyi’s ashes, and had a drone dispose them in the wilderness.

"Ah... to think they would come directly to the doorstep, another problem still..."

He sighed, returning to his home on Chuying Star.

"Eh?"

Fully armed, protected by a Golden Bell, holding the Green Rainbow Sword, Fang Xing saw his room was almost the same as when you left.

Only one table had turned to ashes, and there was a patch of tar-like substance on the floor.

As for the bronze gate sculpture, it seemed to have completely vanished.

"Could it be... due to the disappearance of Bai Lianyi, the priestess, that the ritual failed and backfired?"

Combining his own knowledge and snippets from his internship at the Prevention and Control Bureau, Fang Xing judged, and immediately began digging up the tar and the floorboards, sending them to Qinglin Square to destroy the evidence.

He then prepared a solution capable of erasing the aura of items associated with Evil Gods, giving his home a thorough cleaning...

By the time everything was done, it was already morning.

"Ah... what a hassle from the Gate Sect."

Fang Xing faced the sunrise, his face filled with gloom.

This time was different from the last, no matter what, he couldn’t clarify everything.

So he simply chose not to explain.

Yet, the subsequent retaliation from the Gate Sect, he had to bear alone...

’But then again, I was just attacked by Liu Wei... During this period, the Prevention and Control Bureau should be protecting me... To think Bai Lianyi attacked last night, the Prevention and Control Bureau is just useless.’

Fang Xing’s mood turned somewhat sour at this thought.

And several hours later, when he was in class, Jing Xia approached him, only worsening his mood.

Yucai High School.

"What? My classmate Liu Wei disappeared?"

Fang Xing looked at Jing Xia, frowning: "Even so, Liu Wei’s disappearance should be a matter for the Security Bureau, why is the Prevention and Control Bureau involved?"

"It seems you’ve guessed it; your friend is suspected of being linked to the Gate Sect..."

Jing Xia said, "Because you were good friends with him, I need you to assist with the investigation, answer a few questions..."

"Sure, but after our freshman year, our relationship gradually waned... He might have been a bit jealous and hostile towards me."

Fang Xing’s expression remained neutral as he began to distance himself.

"I understand..."

Jing Xia asked a few more questions, and Fang Xing answered each one truthfully.

He and Liu Wei had been friends, there was nothing he couldn’t speak of.

Moreover, everyone knew their relationship had been bad since their freshman year!

As long as the previous assassination attempt wasn’t exposed, there wouldn’t be any big issues.

’It seems... was Liu Wei also trying to distance himself from me before?’

For a moment, Fang Xing’s feelings were rather mixed.
