From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

She slowly swung the long spear in her hand behind her, and the spear transformed into a streak of silver light that entered the silver wheel on her back. The weapons on the disk were once again complete, casting wave after wave of brilliance around.

Hum——

The silver wheel behind her soared into the sky again, turning into a huge heavenly disk that covered a five-mile radius.

She sent beams of silver radiance skyward from her body, ceaselessly infusing the huge heavenly disk with True Qi. Before long, white streams of light rained down from the sky above the entire area.

The streams of light fell to the earth, covering the school's streets, the small river, and the forests, extinguishing all the blue flames that were burning, unveiling a charred wasteland.

People who were shopping at a distance, unaware of the true situation, continued to take photos with their phones and post on social networks.

More than ten thousand people at the school's gates were still in a daze, watching the silver light falling from the sky. In their hearts, they were like souls in hell who had seen a savior angel descending.

"Nine Heavens Profound Girl… It really is Madame Xuan…"

A tutor, eyes filled with immense shock, looked towards the field, still bleeding profusely. Suddenly, their body went limp and they knelt in mid-air, the longsword used to protect the students falling from their grasp, a hint of moisture glistening at the corner of their eyes.

"Madame Xuan is not dead… It's her who saved us…"

"How could this be… Is this an illusion? How could Madame Xuan have been by our side all along?"

"It really is Madame Xuan! The Ten Thousand Instruments Spirit Phase! The Creation True Qi! It's truly her!"

"Was everything that just happened a dream… How could a Void beast have come here? How could they have died? And how could Madame Xuan possibly be alive…"

"Stop thinking about it, this is not a dream, what's important is… our entire city has finally been saved!"

...

After a long while, a girl in the crowd suddenly knelt down, crying and looking up to the sky in anguish: "Finally… I've finally survived! Wuu…"

Following this girl's tears, the nerves of the entire crowd were drawn back to reality, and the crowd descended into chaos once more.

"Xiao Rui! Xiao Rui!"

A boy immediately rushed out, turning back to search for his girlfriend, who had been separated from him in the turmoil.

Subsequently, more people rushed to the fallen bodies, searching for their closest friends and the ones they held dearest in their hearts.

After a short time, the school field was filled with the cries of students, some holding the bleeding corpses and howling to the sky, while others, upon seeing their most familiar faces gruesome and beyond recognition, knelt on the ground with their faces covered in their hands.

The huge celestial wheel in the sky returned behind Mu Hui, and the silver armor on her body converged into streams of silver light that retracted into her body.

She stood in place, looking at the campus littered with bodies and seas of fire, listening to the wails and sobs of her kin, her beautiful and captivating silver eyes filled with sorrow.

Just a few minutes before, every one of them was a vivid life thriving in happiness. In just a few short minutes, they had experienced hellish terror, losing their entitlement to the mortal world.

The scene was cruel, brutal, but the battlefield in Area One was a hundred times, even a thousand times more grievous.

Her True Qi surged, and she turned into a beam of light once more, returning to the crowd. Her silver pupils turned black, and she was dressed in a black school uniform, with her three thousand locks of white hair gently swaying in the breeze, her face showing only a fatigued expression.

Fang Ren was being supported by Li Xingwang Jing Haichuan, drenched in blood from head to toe, with his back and knees of his legs a gory mess, his expression covered in a layer of sorrowful ash, his sclera filled with blood vessels.

Looking at Mu Huanqing approaching him, his heart felt as if it was being constantly pricked by silver needles, causing an excruciating pain.

He had a lot of words he wanted to say and questions to ask, but when the words reached his throat, all he could do was clench his teeth tightly, feeling a choked sensation.

At this moment, he felt no pride or arrogance because his beloved was the Nine Heavens Profound Girl, whom billions revered. All he felt was sorrow and confusion.

He had never loved her for her high status or her superb Cultivation talent. He would rather she were just a mortal, with a lifespan of not more than a hundred years, with beauty that could age… so they could live a peaceful life together, without anyone trying to tear them apart.

Yes, he had a gift for alchemy, even capable of creating his own elixirs; yes, he was talented in crafting as well, even able to create the first Space Ring in human history…

But what were all these things in front of the stature of the Nine Heavens Profound Girl?

She was too powerful. For the sake of ensuring the continuation of powerful Cultivation genes, how could humanity possibly allow her to be with him?

What's the use of being strong in alchemy, what's the use of being strong in crafting, if his Cultivation ability couldn't reach the pinnacle among Earth's younger generation, the whole world would not agree to Mu Huanqing marrying him and having children!

"I'm sorry…"

Mu Huanqing, looking at Fang Ren with a complex expression, was also in turmoil, and what came out of her mouth turned into this simple apology.

Fang Ren turned his head away, unable to bear looking at her directly. After clenching his teeth for a few seconds, he finally spoke, "It's okay, I will… try very hard! Very! Hard!"

Mu Huanqing, seeing him like this, couldn't help her eyes from reddening again. She walked over and stretched out her arms to embrace him tightly, whispering in his ear, "We'll be together… We definitely will!"

The people nearby, witnessing this scene, were filled with all sorts of shock and surprise, unable to utter a single word.

Fang Ren… How had this ordinary medical student come to have such a connection with Madame Xuan, the Nine Heavens Profound Girl? They were supposed to be people from two different worlds.

They simply couldn't comprehend it.

"If you're Madame Xuan, why didn't you come to save everyone sooner!"

At that moment, not far away, a student cradling the body of his girlfriend yelled at Mu Huanqing with red-rimmed eyes.

After his shout, the whole scene fell into silence for a few seconds, expressions furrowed as people glanced at Mu Huanqing, then swiftly scattered away.

Just then, another female student knelt on the ground and cried out, "Yes! Aren't you the Xuan Nv of the Nine Heavens? Aren't you supposed to protect the human race? Why did you just watch them get killed one by one?

Why!"

The words that burst forth from these two people were like igniting a bomb buried in everyone's hearts. All eyes turned to Mu Huanqing, showing bafflement mixed with profound sorrow, yet no one spoke another word.

Mu Huanqing, faced with the incomprehension in the surrounding faces, suddenly felt very heartbroken.

"If only you had acted sooner, A-Ming wouldn't have died!" The girl holding her boyfriend's body sobbed, shouting at Mu Huanqing.

"Yes... why didn't you act sooner..."

"I really can't understand, it was almost like hell here just now, and you only acted at the very end..."

"What was Madame Xuan thinking..."

Hearing the low murmurs of the crowd behind him, and seeing the sorrowful expression on Mu Huanqing's face that seemed to carry an explanation she found difficult to voice, Fang Ren held back the pain in his body and turned his head, "Do you really think she wanted our classmates to die?

Do you think she didn't want to save people?"

The pressure of various troubles intertwined in his heart, making his voice incredibly agitated and angry.

Was Mu Huanqing really to blame? Shouldn't the person who unleashed the Void beast be the culprit? Why question her when students have died? If she could have saved people, she would have done so long ago!

But were things really that simple?

"Cough cough cough..."

No sooner had Fang Ren finished speaking than he began to cough up blood, feeling as if his chest might explode.

Mu Huanqing used her True Qi to relieve his pain, telling him to stop talking.

Once again, the scene returned to silence until, after a long while, a helicopter descended from the sky. Numerous police officers ran down—there were no battlefield warriors here, only public security police.

Several instructors immediately went forward to inform the police officers about the events that had taken place here. After a moment of surprise upon seeing Mu Huanqing, they approached her respectfully to offer greetings.

Fang Ren only felt darkness before his eyes, then he fainted.

------

Meanwhile, far away, Sha Baihe and others were fleeing at great speed, glancing back occasionally as they ran.

"Damn it! Why did Mu Huanqing suddenly regain her strength!" a man cursed in horror.

"It's good we were far enough away! There were also many cultivators present, otherwise we definitely would have been exposed! If that had happened, the entire Fang Family would be dragged into this mess!" another man said with lingering fear.

Sha Baihe's face was pale with fright. Mu Huanqing's sudden restoration to full strength, given her abilities, could surely detect their presence!

Thankfully, it was only because the situation had been too chaotic, and they had stood so far away without strong power. Even if perceived by Mu Huanqing, they would have been mistaken for city residents fleeing in panic.

Otherwise, as the other man had said, the whole Fang family would have been implicated—both the left and right factions!

Sha Baihe couldn't help feeling relieved at that moment, grateful that they had already dealt with Wang Cang father and son beforehand and that Sun Yan had been killed by the Void Beast. Otherwise, trying to take action now would be utterly impossible!

"What on earth has happened to Mu Huanqing! She should have died from the injuries she received on the battlefield! Not only is she not dead, but she has also regained her strength! This...

Is this good or bad for the right-wing faction of our Fang Family..."

Elsewhere in the city, atop a tall building, a woman dressed in black stood beside Liu Qianqian, both gazing toward the distant horizon.

Liu Qianqian's expression was filled with pain, while the woman in black had an ice-cold countenance.

"Is it that hard for you to save his life!" Liu Qianqian angrily confronted the woman next to her, her eyes bloodshot.

"Young Miss, his death will finally put an end to those thoughts of yours. It's a good thing for you," said the woman in black, her voice void of emotion.

"His death is a good thing?" Liu Qianqian's rage could no longer be contained. She roared, "Just because I love him? Just because I love him, does he deserve to die in your eyes!"

"Young Miss, I am considering the future of the Liu Family and the entire human race," said the woman in black. "Look, with his death, you will be able to marry Mr. Li Zhong in peace. The child born from that union will surely protect more people.

Thus, Fang Ren's life in exchange for many others is well worth it."

"Nonsense!" Liu Qianqian shouted. "How twisted can your thinking be! Can't you save his life? Will it not suffice if I don't like him?

Just save his life, and I will immediately return to the Liu Family to marry! I've made myself this clear, why do you persist with this nonsense, insisting that he must die!"

"His existence would only lead to emotional conflicts between you and Mr. Li Zhong. I believe his life is truly unnecessary," said the woman in black.

"Once I return to the Liu Family, you won't have it easy!" Liu Qianqian said through gritted teeth.

"For your loving relationship with Mr. Li Zhong, even death would be a sacrifice worth making," said the woman in black, bowing deeply.

"You're all insane!"

Liu Qianqian covered her face and began to cry.
