Chapter 291: Chapter 386: Captured?_1
"Qianye, are you sure the location is correct?"
In the sky above a certain sea area, Fang Ren looked at an island a kilometer ahead, his brows tightly furrowed.
"No mistake, hey-ha!" Little Qianye shouted from Fang Ren's shoulder.
"So, Bai Qi is in the Central District..."
Fang Ren looked at the island thousands of miles away, feeling completely disoriented. The island ahead was known to be the gathering place for humanity's top military command, also commonly referred to as the Central District Command.
Little Qianye's sensing ability definitely couldn't be wrong. Bai Qi must be on that island, which meant that the largest laboratory of Indra Sky, under Bai Chaojin, was inside the Central District Command!
It never crossed Fang Ren's mind that Indra Sky's largest laboratory could be there. Didn't this suggest that the Indra Sky organization was accepted by the entire Central District?
Then, knowing how cruel the experiments were, wouldn't some of the rulers in the Central District be aware of it?
"Bai Chaojin... one of the fourteen commanders of a command, ranking fourth in strength. He must not be as simple as he appears on the surface..."
Fang Ren gritted his teeth, feeling as though the supreme decision-making power over all humanity was somehow being held in the palm of Bai Chaojin's hand.
He continued to fly forward for a while before stopping mid-air, since if he kept moving closer, the guards patrolling around the Central District would capture him.
If he wanted to rescue Bai Qi from their experiment, he would have to forcefully breach the Central District Command with Jiang Ling today.
"Why hasn't Jiang Ling arrived yet?"
Fang Ren scanned the skies around him. His current field of vision reached only a kilometer, and although within that span, he could see everything clearly, he couldn't, as normal eyes do, spot distant horizons in the vast sky.
If Jiang Ling had arrived but was beyond his kilometer range, he wouldn't be able to see her at all.
"If I just barge in like this, the entire Fang Family might be convicted. Even though I don't agree with that family, the thought of those disgusting looks on their faces really irks me."
Fang Ren touched the Night Walk Robe inside his storage ring. It belonged to the Nightfall Organization. He planned to wear it and go with Jiang Ling, anyways, letting Nightfall take the blame wasn't new to him, one more time wouldn't hurt.
After rescuing Bai Qi, he'd just take Jiang Ling to relive their youth as compensation, yes, that's what he'd do.
But where in the world had Jiang Ling gone? Logically, with her Xuanyang realm, she should be faster than Mu Huanqing. A Tianjiang shouldn't take more than a few minutes to cross, so why was it taking so long?
"She couldn't be fighting someone on the way, could she?"
As soon as this thought crossed Fang Ren's mind, he quickly took out his phone, looked up Jiang Ling's number, and dialed it once more.
Beep beep—
Just as the number was being dialed and the beeping began, at the edge of Fang Ren's detection range, two practitioners suddenly rushed towards him.
Seeing the pair move at speeds almost beyond his ability to track, Fang Ren was certain that the cultivation level of these two practitioners was definitely of the Xuanyang realm!
Because his Mind's Eye visual range was limited, everything beyond a kilometer around him was shrouded in darkness; he couldn't sense when they had arrived.
Hum—
In the blink of an eye, two figures arrived in front of Fang Ren, and only then could he clearly see that they were wearing the black armor of the Central Area Security Team.
This is the strongest security team in the world, primarily responsible for monitoring whether any suspicious individuals enter the Central Area and whether void beasts exploit vulnerabilities to damage the base.
Fang Ren was about to turn off the cellphone in his hand, which he was dialing, but with his current peak of the Azure Sky level and without the speed boost from the Nine Techniques of Lethal Combat, he was too slow in front of two Peak Xuanyang realm guards. His cellphone had already been snatched away by a man in black armor.
One of the men glanced at him, frowning slightly, "Fang Family, Fang Ren?"
Fang Ren's heart was in turmoil, but at that moment, he could only pretend to be calm and nodded, "Yes."
The man who took his cellphone looked at the device, which was dialing, and asked, "Who was the call to?"
Because during Jiang Ling's breakthrough earlier, his phone had broken, and this new phone didn't have any contacts labeled.
Fang Ren gave a wry smile, "It's to Jiang Ling, I just wanted to tell her to come and surrender quickly, perhaps she could still be spared ..."
Buzz—
Before he could finish his sentence, a blue ice blade suddenly appeared in one man's hand and was placed against his neck, the man's face cold as he said, "Tell the truth! What are you doing here, who is this call to, and what were you planning to say on the phone?"
Fang Ren looked at the still unconnected call and couldn't help breaking out into a cold sweat internally, thinking, Jiang Ling, oh Jiang Ling, don't answer this call, or no one will be left to bring back your youthful memories ...
"Ah? Wasn't it you who informed me to come here?"
Without a second thought, Fang Ren activated Oscar Actor Mode, feigned complete confusion, and continued, "You even told me that something had happened to Princess Bai Xi and only Old Master Bai could handle it. That's why I came."
After hearing this, the man holding the ice blade glanced at the man with the cellphone, and the ice blade in his hand dissipated into True Qi.
Although they were unsure about the truth in Fang Ren's words, Old Master Bai really had brought Princess Bai Xi here in the early morning.
As for what Fang Ren had just said about calling Jiang Ling to surrender, they didn't take it seriously at all, considering everyone knew about last night's incident; Jiang Ling had almost killed Fang Ren, so the idea of her making a call to him was nonsensical.
Seeing the man's blade disperse, Fang Ren finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he couldn't just barge into the Central District; Jiang Ling hadn't arrived, so he had to bluff his way in.
But what would he do once he had bluffed his way in?
He was also an important part of the Indra Sky experiment! Bai Chaojin wouldn't put him on an experimental table as well, would he?
Beep!
Just as he had let out a sigh of relief, the phone suddenly emitted the sound of a call connecting.
Oh crap!
"Fang Ren, I... don't want to go anymore."
As soon as the call connected, a woman's deep voice came through.
The man holding the cellphone immediately handed it to Fang Ren, giving him a cold glance.
Fang Ren took the phone and smiled, "Qian Qian, if you don't want to go shopping, then don't. I'm actually tied up with something and can't make it either. Let's make plans for another day."
As Fang Ren spoke, he was ready to hang up the call. Speaking any longer would definitely give Jiang Ling away. Pretending to have made plans to go shopping with Liu Qianqian was the most suitable cover for now.
After all, most of the high-ups had never even seen Liu Qianqian.
