Chapter 317: Chapter 312: The First Experimenter of Void Technology_1
Indeed, as she turned around, she saw at the edge of the central battle zone, Fang Ren, radiating red light, standing there watching her.
He was unharmed!
A great weight lifted from Mu Hui Qing\'s heart.
Bang—
With her spear, she broke the dark beam emitted by the Void Beast, and Mu Hui Qing immediately teleported next to Fang Ren, her expression cold and serious.
"This… Madame Xuan!"
Xu Feng was completely baffled. How did Brother Fang\'s sword bring Madame Xuan here? And judging from her expression, she seemed angry.
Xu Feng hastily spoke up, "Brother Fang has just arrived in the central battle zone and is not familiar with the situation. Please don\'t blame him!"
Of course, Mu Hui Qing wouldn\'t blame Fang Ren; she was just putting on an act to come and check on him. Don\'t miss chapters on m v l e m p y r
"The battlefield is very tense right now, and this Void Beast is extraordinarily formidable. Stay behind the Large Formation and do not act alone!" Mu Hui Qing said with a stern expression.
"Yes!" Xu Feng immediately nodded seriously.
"All right, Madame Xuan," Fang Ren nodded, but he couldn\'t help but let a smile slip through.
Seeing Fang Ren with a \'joking smile,\' Xu Feng quickly tried to explain, "Madame Xuan, Brother Fang is only…"
Before he could finish justifying for Fang Ren, Mu Hui Qing glared at Fang Ren, slightly resentful as she scolded, "You moron! Be careful and protect yourself."
Having said that, Mu Hui Qing returned to the battlefield, leaving Xu Feng with a bewildered face, looking at Fang Ren. The situation wasn\'t quite what he had imagined; instead, there seemed to be some banter laced with chastisement...
"Don\'t just stand there, let\'s go meet up with the others," Fang Ren patted Xu Feng.
Seeing Mu Hui Qing\'s demeanor, she must really be a bit angry. After all, his sudden intrusion into the battlefield must have worried her. Being scolded by his wife, Fang Ren had no choice but to accept it.
"Didn\'t Brother Fang mention he had something to do earlier?" Xu Feng was puzzled.
"It\'s already taken care of."
"Ah?" Xu Feng was somewhat confused.

In the submarine, the soldiers Liu Qianqian had knocked out were now waking up.
"Commander! Where is Fang Ren?"
As the crowd realized the test subject was missing, they all started to panic.
The female Commander sat in her chair with her fists clenched, gritting her teeth in anger, "He was snatched away by the Liu Family\'s young miss."
"Liu Qianqian? What does she want with Fang Ren?"
"The Liu Family\'s young miss..." A soldier suddenly spoke up, "There have been rumors in Tianjiang that Fang Ren and Liu Qianqian were in the same school, and they may have dated. Whether they are still together or not, it\'s unclear."
"What\'s this now! Is the Liu Family trying to revolt, fighting with the princess for a man?"
"Commander, what should we do now?"
"What a stupid question! Aren\'t you going to chase after him to the Liu Family! Have the Liu Family Head hand him over!" The Commander cursed.
"But during this time of war, we don\'t know where the Liu Family Head is..."
"For a second-tier family like the Liu family, their head wouldn\'t normally engage in battles. If the family head leaves the family, how will they defend against the invasion of the Void beasts?"
"Understood! Heading straight for the Liu Family in Tianjiang immediately!"
The soldiers promptly turned the submarine around and sped towards Tianjiang.
Suddenly a soldier rushed into the control room and spoke up, "Commander, Princess Bai Xi is about to awaken, and our drugs do not affect those in the Xuanyang realm."
The female Commander frowned, "If she awakes, let her. If not, once we get Fang Ren back, we can let them be awake to handle things."
"Ah? But both of them might be unwilling, and the princess, she likes Song Mobei..."
"What\'s the use of that Song guy! Can he let the princess take a nap and break through her realm like Fang Ren can?" the Commander said angrily.
"This… You\'d better explain it to the princess yourself."
Boom—
As everyone was talking, the submarine suddenly shook violently.
"What\'s happening!"
"It seems like we\'ve been hit by something, but there shouldn\'t be any dangerous reefs in this area."
The female officer frowned, "Check the external shadow of the submarine..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a dark figure suddenly flashed in front of her and grabbed her neck with both hands.
"Commander! The external imagery shows that we are already on the surface... Who are you!"
The soldier who had just checked the imagery turned his head back only to see an elderly man in a black robe with a gaunt face and a weird, sinister smile, holding the female officer by the neck.
"Indra Sky?" Fang Yun Zhong spoke up.
He had been tracking them underwater for half a day, the only submarine with the aura of his descendants; strangely, he had not seen Fang Ren there.
"Knowing that we are from Indra Sky, you dare to intrude here! Are you trying to rebel?" the soldier roared, circulating his True Qi.
Slap—
Fang Yun Zhong waved his hand casually, and that soldier\'s body turned into a skeleton, leaving behind a pool of fresh blood on the floor.
"It seems I\'ve found the right place, but why can\'t I see my dear great-grandson Ren?" Fang Yun Zhong looked at the female officer: "Where have you hidden him?"
Looking at the old man, the female officer felt a chill in her heart. She couldn\'t sense this old man\'s strength at all, unlike Liu Qianqian, at least she could roughly understand the latter\'s realm. The old man\'s presence was completely undetectable. Plus, the submarine had been deep underwater; how had this old man instantly brought the submarine to the surface without even triggering an alarm?
"Whoever you are, Fang Ren is not in my hands right now! If you want to find him, go to the Liu Family!" the female officer said.
Fang Yun Zhong threw the female officer aside, seated himself in a chair, and continued, "Has your experiment succeeded?"
The female officer hesitated for a moment, her expression becoming even more guarded: "You have the aura of the Void on you, have you also participated in experiments in Indra Sky?"
Hearing this, Fang Yun Zhong couldn\'t help but burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Kiddo, you\'re correct, I have indeed participated in experiments, and I was not only the first subject of Void Fusion but also the pioneer of the Void Fusion experiment."
"The Void Fusion experiment took place over a hundred years ago, the first batch of subjects have long since died, and the founder has always been the Commander. I don\'t remember there being a commanding officer like you," the female officer said with a frown.
"All that is what you\'ve been able to learn at your age," Fang Yun Zhong replied. "Tell me, if your experiment is successful, do you dare to reveal the truth to the people, saying how many of your own kind your experiment has killed?"
"..."
"The truth is only written by the winners, and that is what you like to enforce. But have you ever thought that what you hear now is all lies from the winners a hundred years ago?" Fang Yun Zhong said.
"A hundred years ago, humans were united, and there was no infighting."
"That\'s all you would understand at your age. You haven\'t seen the events of a hundred years ago; your grandfather was just a single cell back then," Fang Yun Zhong said.
The female officer had no response because her grandfather was indeed just a single cell at that time.
"Actually, my purpose in coming here is not for my great-grandson; I just want to undergo the Void Fusion experiment again. I heard that your organization\'s technology has matured," Fang Yun Zhong said. "How about taking pity on this old man, letting me break through my realm, and returning to the battlefield one more time?"
Frowning, the female officer replied, "You keep mentioning your great-grandson, but anyone knows that the Fang Family\'s great-grandfather has been dead for a long time. Aren\'t you afraid that the Fang Family will kill you for impersonating an ancestor once they find out?"
"Kiddo, you\'re funny. Do you think that someone like me, who survived after being experimented on and can sense where Fang Ren is through bloodline, could be anyone other than Fang Yun Zhong from those days?"
Facing this question, the female officer didn\'t know how to respond. As far as she knew, the previous generation\'s Indra Sky\'s experiments had all died due to immature technology—not to mention the original subjects from even earlier days when Indra Sky\'s technology was still exploratory; survivors among them were even less likely.
But judging by the old man\'s age, he must be a subject from several generations ago, and he was still alive with the aura of the Void on him. There was only one explanation: this old man truly was someone who had survived from the experiments long ago.
"You say you were the founder of the Void Fusion experiment, but why is it that I was informed it was an old man named Bai Weiguo who was its creator?" the female officer asked.
Fang Yun Zhong chuckled: "Kiddo, I can discuss these matters with you, but afterward, you must take me to your headquarters."
"I promise you," the female officer said.
However, the headquarters of Indra Sky had already been destroyed; she hadn\'t even considered taking the old man there.
She always felt that there was more to this old man than met the eye. Given how powerful he was to have survived experiments from generations ago, and since he wanted to experiment again, Indra Sky would surely do everything to accommodate him; he only had to speak to Commander Bai Chaojin to get approval.
But why did the old man choose to come here on the day of the Void beast invasion, and why didn\'t he seek out Commander Bai?
Seeing the female officer agree, Fang Yun Zhong decided to waste some more breath and continued, "Isn\'t there an organization called Nightfall on Earth now? They quite enjoy opposing you, and they perceive their actions as just. However, a hundred years ago, there was also an organization that enjoyed opposing me. It was called Indra Sky."
"What do you mean by that?" the female officer\'s brow furrowed deeper.
"Back then, the invasion of the Void was far more severe than now. Watching the suffering of countless lives, I suddenly discovered something significant: Though humanity was facing a catastrophe, we were also evolving. It was because of the invasion of the Void that humans gained the power of Cultivation, it was because of the arrival of the Void beasts that we learned to concoct elixirs...
I realized that the Void was not a catastrophe but a blessing bestowed upon humanity by the heavens. Before the Void descended upon Earth, we always advocated the belief that opposing nature leads to self-destruction. Since the Void appeared on Earth, it was meant to be a natural occurrence, so why should we resist it? Why not we integrate with the Void?
Later, I initiated the Void Fusion experiment; I wanted to rescue my kin from Earth, one by one, to live in harmony with the Void race... But my experiment was opposed by the founder of your organization, namely Bai Weiguo."
