From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

"Speaking of which, why would your organization send such a popular star like you on an undercover mission? What were they thinking?" Fang Ren asked, frowning. "Wouldn't it be better to send someone else for this kind of task?"

"It wouldn't work, I was the only one in the organization who had just graduated from high school, and the main tasks I was responsible for in the organization were all covert in nature," Jian Qi'er explained. "After all, I'm very good at acting, and I think there's nothing inappropriate about sending me for this kind of job."

"It sounds like something a spy would do," Fang Ren said.

After thinking for a moment, Jian Qi'er began, "I'm responsible for many things. I often use my celebrity status to interact with high-ranking individuals in society to gather intelligence and obtain useful information. Besides, I also carry out assassinations against those who frequently do evil. If necessary, I use my beauty to seduce men, which is why I value my face and figure so much...

It's not much different from being a secret agent."

"Using beauty to seduce..."

"Hey! Don't get the wrong idea! I don't sleep with anyone!"

"I didn't say that, you did," Fang Ren replied.

"You were obviously implying it!"

"Was I?" Fang Ren said.

Jian Qi'er frowned, let out a sigh, and used the Space Ring to store her backpack and other clothes, then said, "Let's not talk about this. Didn't you ask why I haven't been to school these past few days? It's because there has been a development in the organization, and we're all pretty busy."

"Then why did you suddenly come back today?" Fang Ren asked.

"After tracking for several days, the leads broke again," Jian Qi'er looked at him and continued, "Additionally, our organization really hopes you would join us, but it's not mandatory if you don't."

"Give me some more time to think about it, I still don't fully understand the situation," Fang Ren said.

"Actually, even if you don't join, you can still cooperate with us. You can trust our organization completely because our leader doesn't want to see Xuan Nv unable to be with the person she loves," Jian Qi'er mentioned.

"Your leader is concerned about that?" Fang Ren appeared somewhat surprised.

Jian Qi'er nodded, "Yes, she doesn't want anyone to follow in her footsteps."

"You mean to say..."

"Have you heard of the name Jiang Ling?"

"Jiang Ling?" Fang Ren suddenly furrowed his brows. "Isn't that the powerful individual who disappeared from Earth twenty years ago?"

"Right, our leader is her," Jian Qi'er nodded.

"I heard that twenty years ago, she was one of the four strongest young female practitioners on Earth, but for some reason, she just vanished without a trace. How did she suddenly become the leader of the Nightfall Organization?" Fang Ren was astonished.

"Our leader has some very painful memories from that time," Jian Qi'er said. "If Xuan Nv insists on being with you, then she has a high risk of encountering the same predicament as our leader. So, you can probably guess what our leader went through, right?"

Fang Ren frowned after hearing this, "Your leader... was she forced into a marriage with a man she didn't like by the people from the Central Area and then compelled to have a child?"

"Exactly," Jian Qi'er said with a low spirit, gritting her teeth, "Our leader and her lover were childhood sweethearts, about to get married, but then the Central Area took her away by force to marry her off to a man with a matching talent. How could she agree to marry someone she did not love? Alas, she resisted, but it ended tragically.

The Central District Command threatened her with the life of her lover, coercing her to marry another man and have his child. She had no choice but to deceive her lover by claiming she didn't love him anymore, that she didn't want to be with him—she simply wanted to save his life.

After being wed to another man, on that very day, her lover died from grief and despair upon witnessing her with someone else. In the end, seeing her lover dead because of her nearly drove her to insanity. However, she couldn't fight back due to the military power of the Central Area; she couldn't even take her own life and was forced to bear the child."

With a heavy sigh, Jian Qi'er continued, "In the end, once she gave birth and had a moment of freedom, nobody expected her to completely lose her sanity. She killed the man who had fathered her child, she even killed that man and her own child, and then she fled from Tianjiang, wanting to take revenge on the Central Area wildly.

But she lacked the power to do so, so she chose to build her own force to crush the dogma of the Central Area. After a long period of settling down, she no longer acted as crazily as before. Now, she has no grandiose dreams of killing everyone from the Central District Command; she only hopes the world will no longer produce people with her experiences.

Hence, the goal of our Nightfall Organization is to shatter the ideology that the Central Area has instilled in people, to expose their inhuman acts to the world."

After listening to Jian Qi'er, Fang Ren became silent.

Everything made sense now: why the Central Area's elders smeared the Nightfall Organization, why they wanted to kill on sight any member of the Nightfall Organization—it was all because its leader was a victim of their past sins.

They wanted to erase their atrocities.

Thus, Jian Qi'er's claim that Jiang Ling did not want Mu Huanqing to follow in her footsteps was inevitable. After such brutal experiences, Jiang Ling would never want anyone else to become another version of herself.

"How dark has the world truly become?" Fang Ren broke the silence.

He suddenly remembered the words Jian Qi'er had said during the trip outside; she mentioned that maybe Nightfall Organization only kills the bad people, and maybe the officials from the Central Area are bad people too...

It turns out to be true.

"I can take you to meet them," Jian Qi'er offered.

"I thought that just by crushing their views and proving myself while doing things that subvert their thinking would be enough. I never imagined that people like me who held such thoughts would be slandered and hunted down," Fang Ren sighed.

Jian Qi'er laughed, "Are you scared?"

Fang Ren glanced at her and then shook his head.

She shouldn't have asked him that question; he didn't even know how many times he'd died before.

Seeing him shake his head, Jian Qi'er said, "Good, from now on our organization will give you the greatest assistance. I hope you can also help us. Of course, if you decide to join us after considering it, that would be even better."

"Are you sure the Indra Sky organization is around here?" asked Fang Ren.

"It's certain, but the location of that large hidden lab has not been pinpointed yet, we only have some unstable leads," Jian Qi'er replied.

"Very good."

"Why, do you have designs on Indra Sky?"

"I just so happen to need some people to kill," Fang Ren said.

The first layer of the Asura Path ultimately needs slaughter, and this Indra Sky organization seems perfectly suited, making him genuinely want to kill them.

"With your cultivation level..."

Jian Qi'er looked at him and said with a frown, "But the last time I saw you fleeing in the school, you looked like a rookie who hadn't even broken through the Qi-gathering realm. How can you kill anyone? Better just stick to alchemy, and leave the killing to us."

"I have the capability, don't worry," he assured her.

"What, you've broken through the Qi-gathering realm?" Jian Qi'er asked with a smile.

Fang Ren nodded, "In a manner of speaking, yes."

Jian Qi'er slapped her forehead and said with a helpless smile, "My Alchemy Master, your level of cultivation isn't even enough to fight a slightly stronger ordinary person, let alone talk about killing people from Indra Sky."

Whirr—

True Qi burst out from Fang Ren in an instant, instantly wrapping his body in a layer of gray vital energy.

Thud—

Jian Qi'er immediately jumped up from the table, her gaze fixed on Fang Ren, now enveloped in gray vital energy. The helpless smile on her face transformed into a look of astoundment.

"Yuanxin... Yuanxin Realm Peak!?"

Jian Qi'er was stunned. The last time Fang Ren was chased by the Void beast, he was just a rookie who hadn't even broken through the Qi-gathering realm. At that critical moment, with his life threatened, Fang Ren had no reason to hide his realm; he must have been just a rookie!

But... just a few days had passed? He went straight from a rookie who hadn't even entered the Qi-gathering realm to a practitioner at the peak of the Yuanxin Realm!

"Hey... is this for real?"

Disbelief still hung on Jian Qi'er's face. If these realms had been broken through in just a few days, then the cultivation talent of this person in front of her would have far surpassed that of Xuan Nv!

"Speaking of which, what is your cultivation level approximately?" Fang Ren asked.

Jian Qi'er, still wearing a stunned expression, shook her head and said in shock, "Forget about my realm, first ask yourself what kind of monster you are..."

Fang Ren clenched his fists and said, "I'm quite curious. How about, you try to strike at me one more time? It was too sudden before, and I wasn't really focused."

After pausing to recover from her shock, Jian Qi'er spoke, "Although your breakthrough speed is frightening, the Yuanxin Realm Peak is really weak in front of me. Even if I struck again, you wouldn't be able to react."

"Then let's try it again."

Whirr—

As Fang Ren spoke, he activated the first of the Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat, and his whole body began to emit a red aura that covered the gray vital energy.

As the red aura emanated, Jian Qi'er felt a wave of heat surge towards her, incredibly intense.

Then she felt an invisible aura of bloodthirst invade her consciousness. She had just made eye contact with Fang Ren when her pupils suddenly contracted, and she involuntarily took half a step back.

"This is..."
