Starry Sky Professional Directory 83

After a moment of reflection, Fang Xing showed no intention of following, and went straight home.

To him, whatever Bai Lianyi did was none of his business; he wasn’t interested in other people’s private lives.

The last time he targeted Bai Lianyi was to help his good brother, Liu Wei, see her true colors!

Now, it was unnecessary.

Anyway, he always acted upright and sat straight, so he wasn’t afraid of anything.

His only goal now was to study hard, get into a top-tier university, truly enter the Federation’s high-level reserve force, and develop well in the future, so he wouldn’t fear anything…

Besides that, everything was an illusion!

…

“Hee hee… Has the Saintess’s charm declined? That Fang Xing isn’t interested in you…”

In the bridge archway, a large amount of blood, staining the damp ground, looked like the roots of a red mulberry tree, spreading to the walls and depicting a bizarre symbol of a blood-red door.

Before this ‘blood gate’ stood a person in a black robe, whose figure and appearance were completely shrouded in a layer of black mist, making it impossible to discern.

At this moment, the black-robed person let out a hoarse laugh.

“Could it be… that Liu Wei gave him a warning?”

Bai Lianyi played with the hem of her skirt, looking like a timid girl next door.

“I never told that silly boy about the Goddess’s business…” the black-robed person said nonchalantly.

“He’s not a silly boy! He managed to contact the rebels, get their acceptance, and even managed to trick us… If he’s a fool, what are we? Idiots?”

Bai Lianyi shook her head: “It seems… I have to go to him myself. Then, you’ll be responsible for clearing all the surveillance clues nearby – that’s your forte…”

…

Late at night.

Fang Xing ordered takeout, preparing to stay up all night playing games… a combination of work and rest.

He practiced martial arts to become a superior person and enjoy life better.

If he practiced martial arts just for the sake of it, wouldn’t he become a martial arts nerd, like a stone?

‘The top courtesan at the Qinglinfang City’s Listening Rain Tower has drastically lowered her prices…’

As he took off his holographic glasses, a thought inexplicably flashed through Fang Xing’s mind.

The next moment, he shook his head, dismissing the thought.

Suddenly, a knock came at the door.

“Who is it? My takeout has arrived!”

Fang Xing opened the door to see Bai Lianyi in a white dress, looking pitiful: “Bai… classmate?”

“Axing… help me…”

Bai Lianyi entered the room, as if remembering something terrifying: “I met it on the way today…”

She opened her backpack, revealing a strange door.

“Hm? A door?”

Fang Xing was startled. Just as he was about to act, Bai Lianyi quickly grabbed his pulse point.

His Dragon Scale Elephant Armor activated, and he instinctively tried to counterattack, but suddenly found he couldn’t move his eyes.

That door, which seemed to be made of bronze, every line on it seemed to interpret the truth of the world.

Just by looking at the door, he felt as if he experienced the world’s great ease and supreme bliss…

While mentally intoxicated, Fang Xing’s limbs felt as heavy as lead, making it impossible for him to move.

“Fang Xing, it’s really not easy to subdue you. Unfortunately… I’m not your opponent, but after invoking our Lord, it’s a different story…”

A holy smile appeared on Bai Lianyi’s face: “Come… join us… You have the potential to become a divine son…”

Fang Xing’s expression was wooden, his mind frantically trying to move, but to no avail.

That bronze door sculpture was actually the true form of some extraterrestrial evil god, and it had been blessed!

Once unfolded, its mere aura made it almost impossible for him to move.

Fang Xing even suspected that if he hadn’t cultivated the Dragon’s Intent Realm and the Tiger Subduing Intent Realm, and his Niwan Palace hadn’t been refined twice, even his thoughts would have been suppressed.

“Don’t worry… it’ll be quick, just ten seconds.”

Bai Lianyi’s expression was devout, her hands firmly gripping Fang Xing’s, while she comforted him and began to chant an ancient and convoluted incantation: “We invoke the Void Gate…”

She spoke a language Fang Xing had never learned, but each note that entered his ears was automatically understood.

Click!

Click!

The lines on the bronze door seemed to come alive and began to writhe…

Like gears turning, steam roaring…

A crack appeared on the door, then grew larger, as if the bronze door would completely open the next moment…

“In ten seconds… I’ll be… corrupted by the evil god…?”

Feeling his thoughts begin to stagnate, and feeling Bai Lianyi restraining his hands, Fang Xing had no choice.

Three seconds later, a silver light flashed.

Bai Lianyi’s vision blurred, and her surroundings changed.

“Where… where is this? A illusion attack? Where is my Lord?”

She looked at the walls of a high-class subworld in Qinglinfang City, her eyes dull.

But the next moment, she felt that her hands were not gripping a human, but a dragon-elephant!

Roar! Roar!

After losing control of the evil god’s statue, Fang Xing immediately regained control of his body.

He instantly surged his Qi and Blood, causing dragon and tiger roars to echo around him.

Dragon’s Intent Realm!

Tiger Subduing Intent Realm!

Dragons and tigers danced in the void, and Fang Xing struck out.

On Bai Lianyi, the originally white dress instantly transformed into a nano protective suit.

Her hands were like lotuses, her aura continuous, and she had unknowingly broken through the Jadeite Level!

“So… this is your secret?”

Bai Lianyi looked around, her shock still evident.

Then…

She saw Fang Xing raise his hand, a green rainbow falling into his hand, and he slashed down with his sword!

Second-order spirit sword – Qinghong!

A green sword light, with unparalleled sharpness, suddenly swept across Bai Lianyi’s infinitely beautiful face.

The sword light was chilling, yet its sound seemed to contain the myriad aspects of life, causing Bai Lianyi’s stunning face to lose focus for a moment, a single tear rolling down her cheek…

Then…

A line of blood appeared on her jade-like forehead, running down her delicate nose, her lips painted with bright pink lipstick, and her smooth chin…

Whoosh!

The two halves of her body fell to the ground, then Fang Xing ignited a fire ball talisman, instantly turning them to ashes.

Anyone who knew his secret had to die!

“I unintentionally completed a human teleportation experiment…”

Fang Xing muttered, coming to the ashes, taking out several ‘Soul Annihilation Talismans’ and ‘Evil Breaking Talismans’, injecting innate True Qi, and activating them one by one.

“Dare to harm me, I’ll make you soul fly and scatter, not even becoming a ghost…”

The scene just now was extremely dangerous. Fang Xing didn’t want to become a follower of some evil god, losing his self-personality and becoming a living corpse.

Liu Wei might have escaped because he wasn’t deeply involved.

But given Bai Lianyi’s attention to him, there would likely be no more chances.

“Hm?”

At this time, Fang Xing discovered that among Bai Lianyi’s ashes, there were still unmelted objects.

He moved aside some metal lumps and took out a piece of cloth.

This cloth was only palm-sized, dark gold in color, and seemed to be woven from some special material.

On the cloth, there was only half a red sun.

Besides that, there were no evil god sacrificial texts or Void Gate marks…

“What good things can an evil god follower leave behind? And… it’s incomplete.”

Fang Xing thought for a moment, wrapped the half-piece of cloth with Bai Lianyi’s ashes, and let a drone dispose of it in the wilderness.

“Sigh… the Gate Sect really caused me trouble…”

He sighed and returned to his home on Aquila Star.

“Huh?”

Fully armed, wearing golden bell armor, and holding the Qinghong sword, Fang Xing saw that his room was basically the same as when he left.

Only the table had turned to ashes, and there was a pool of tar-like substance on the ground.

As for the bronze door sculpture, it seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

“Could it be… because Bai Lianyi, the sacrificer, disappeared, causing the ritual to fail and resulting in backlash?”

Combining his own knowledge and the bits and pieces he learned during his internship at the Prevention Bureau, Fang Xing made a judgment and immediately dug up the tar and the floor, taking them to Qinglinfang City for disposal.

He also prepared a solution that could eliminate the aura of evil god items and thoroughly cleaned his house…

By the time he was finished, it was already morning.

“Sigh… the Gate Sect really caused me trouble.”

Fang Xing greeted the rising sun, his face full of frustration.

This time was different from the last. There was no way to explain it.

So he wouldn’t explain it.

But this meant he had to bear the Gate Sect’s subsequent revenge…

‘But that’s not right, I was attacked by Liu Wei… the Prevention Bureau should protect me during this time… yet Bai Lianyi even came to my door last night, the Prevention Bureau is indeed a bunch of good-for-nothings.’

Thinking of this, Fang Xing felt unhappy.

And a few hours later, when Jing Xia came to him during class, he felt even more unhappy.

Yucai High School.

“What? My classmate Liu Wei is missing?”

Fang Xing looked at Jing Xia and frowned: “Even so, Liu Wei’s disappearance should be handled by the police station, why is it the Prevention Bureau?”

“It seems you’ve guessed it, your good brother is suspected of being related to the Gate Sect…”

Jing Xia said: “Because you are his good friend, I need your assistance in the investigation, to answer a few questions…”

“Okay, but our relationship became estranged after the end of our first year of high school… He might be a bit jealous and resentful of me.”

Fang Xing’s expression was calm, starting to cut ties.

“I know…”

Jing Xia asked a few more questions, and Fang Xing answered them truthfully.

He and Liu Wei were friends, and there was nothing he couldn’t say.

Besides, their relationship had been bad since their first year of high school, which was common knowledge!

As long as the previous assassination incident wasn’t exposed, there wouldn’t be any major problems.

‘So… Liu Wei intentionally distanced himself from me?’

For a moment, Fang Xing felt quite complicated.
