From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

He needed this Red Grass to restore Qianye. Now, whether the identity of Master Qing'an was exposed or not, he no longer cared; even if it weren't revealed today, he would announce it himself during the final competition the day after tomorrow.

His greatest enemy was the Central Area, but his identity would make the entire Central Area his protective umbrella. Although Mu Huanqing now possessed strong formation abilities, there was still a mysterious Xuan Ye Realm powerhouse hidden within Tianjiang, even stronger than Jiang Ling.

He needed to set up his own protective umbrella.

After posting the information, Fang Ren pushed open the window, suddenly feeling an inexplicable sense of anxiety. This feeling was not strong, but he couldn't understand why such an emotion would arise in his heart.

Even though he had now ascended to an unprecedented level in the history of human cultivation, reaching dual excellence in medicine and martial arts, why did he feel more adrift the more powerful he became?

Something was tugging at a string in his heart...

This thing was inexplicable; he couldn't explore it, so he could only let this inexplicable thing lead to his anxiety.

Whoosh—

A gust of wind suddenly blew through the room, and Fang Ren immediately closed the window. Just as he was taken aback for a moment, someone had already entered his room through the window.

"Qing'er."

Fang Ren turned around to embrace the person who had just flown into the room, but as he opened his arms to hug her, he suddenly froze.

"Jiang... Leader Jiang?"

Fang Ren quickly lowered his open arms, his face a picture of embarrassment. Standing behind him was not Mu Huanqing but Jiang Ling, dressed in a red dress and having regained her 20-year-old appearance.

Luckily, he was alert enough to see behind him; otherwise, he would have probably embraced her the moment he turned around without seeing who it was.

"Yo, it seems Lady Xuan has been sneaking over frequently these days." Jiang Ling smiled, holding a cup of coconut milk tea as she unceremoniously sat on the bed.

"Leader Jiang, why have you come over so late at night..."

Fang Ren slapped his own face, not knowing what to say for a moment. What would he do if Mu Huanqing also came later?

"You were surrounded by people as soon as you left the venue. I couldn't just go over there and find you, could I?" said Jiang Ling.

"What's the matter? You seem in a hurry?"

"I was just planning to come over and congratulate you, but I encountered a major incident on the way here. It's actually related to you so I thought I'd mention it."

"Is it about Indra Sky?" Fang Ren frowned.

Jiang Ling smiled, "It's not that. I only know they've taken Song Mobei away from Indra Sky; probably because of the Void beast matter. But what I'm about to say isn't about that, it's about your Fang Family."

"The Fang Family? What could possibly be trickier than the situation with Indra Sky right now?" Fang Ren was even more puzzled.

"On my way here, that hidden Xuan Ye Realm powerhouse from Tianjiang began probing me again. However, this time I didn't choose to conceal my aura, wanting to test the other party's intentions. To my surprise, the person turns out to be in your Fang Family's back mountain, not moving an inch," said Jiang Ling.

"What? That Xuan Ye Realm powerhouse is from the Fang Family?" Fang Ren was stunned.

If the Fang Family had such a powerhouse, then Old Master of the Fang Family Fang Zheng, who is his biological father, should be well aware of it, and Shang Han and Fang Zheng have an extremely close relationship.

Shang Han couldn't possibly be unaware of this.

Moreover, if the Fang Family really had such a powerhouse, Second Young Master Fang Fang Ye's move to incite infighting in the hope of surpassing the Bai Family to dominate Tianjiang would be utterly impossible because with a Xuan Ye Realm powerhouse, the Fang Family's position would be firmly at the top of Tianjiang. What need would there be for any infighting?

"Are you certain that person is from the Fang Family?" Fang Ren asked again.

"There's no mistake. I was almost at the front gate of the Fang Family, but the person still made no move, continuously within a formation in the back mountain. I don't know whether he can't come out or he doesn't want to," said Jiang Ling. "But one thing's for sure, he holds no hostility towards me, and doesn't seem to know who I am."

"The back mountain of the Fang Family?"

Fang Ren was once again confused. Though he hadn't grown up in the family, after learning he was the eldest young master of the Fang Family, he had researched extensively online, seen aerial photos of the entire family estate, and knew what the back mountain was.

It was the burial ground of the Patriarch of the Fang Family!

Ordinary people had no access to it except for important figures in the Fang Family, like Fang Yuanhao, Fang Zheng, Fang Ye, and others. All other people, including daughters who married out of the Fang Family, were not qualified to enter on their own and had to be led by the Family Head.

Such a forbidden place definitely wouldn't allow outsiders, which means this Xuan Ye Realm mighty one must be one of the important figures of the Fang Family!

But Fang Yuanhao, the elder of the Fang family, was only a mid-stage Practitioner in the Xuanyang realm, and the capabilities of the Old Master and the Second Young Master of the family were early Xuanyang realm and peak of the Yingyue realm, respectively; it was impossible for this Xuan Ye Realm powerhouse to be among them.

Who could this person be?

Fang Ren couldn't figure out the answer at the moment.

"Have you thought of something?" Jiang Ling asked.

Fang Ren furrowed his brow and shook his head, "The back mountain of the Fang Family is a restricted area. Outsiders can't enter. This person must be from the Fang Family, but it's not anyone known to people nowadays."

Jiang Ling slightly frowned, "Are you saying that your family has been hiding someone for a very long time? Someone who has now reached the Xuan Ye Realm without ever showing themselves?"

"But… how many years does it take to reach the Xuan Ye Realm in hiding?"

Jiang Ling was at a loss for an answer. Her initial thoughts aligned with Fang Ren: if the Fang Family had such a strong figure, why would Fang Ye be able to cause a family conflict with the goal of ruling over Tianjiang?

It was incredibly abnormal.

"Do you think this matter is related to Fang Ye?" Jiang Ling said.

"It can't be determined, but it's impossible for him not to know about this person," Fang Ren replied.

Jiang Ling nodded, "But speaking of which, if the Fang Family hides this powerful figure without sending him to the battlefield or revealing his existence, then what's the purpose? I think Fang Ye's goal of unifying Tianjiang probably aligns with this hidden powerhouse. Your Fang Family, I reckon, has big plans for Tianjiang."
