Chapter 729: Mysterious Disappearance!
White immediately closed his mouth, feeling terrified for having such thoughts.
For most people in the Western Regions, especially their eight royal dukes, the Angel Church was their faith.
Questioning one’s faith was equivalent to questioning one’s own existence.
The collapse of faith was an extremely dangerous and significant matter.
Therefore, White could completely understand why Draci had such a strong reaction.
“…Regardless of what the Archangel Bishop thinks, we must obey its orders,” White paused, then said, “I believe this matter will not end so easily… Fang Yu will certainly pay a heavy price.”
Draci nodded, his eyes dark and gloomy.
…
On the plane, Fang Yu fell asleep accidentally after finishing dinner.
He only woke up when the sound of engine roaring reached his ears.
“This is Huaibei Airport, you can leave now,” Violet came forward and said.
At this time, the cabin door was already open, and it was five o’clock in the morning.
“It seems the Angel Church didn’t catch up with us,” Fang Yu stood up and smiled.
“Yes… it’s strange,” Violet said.
By now, she had changed into more casual attire, no longer wearing her usual tight-fitting combat leather suit.
As for the wounds on her body, they seemed to have completely healed.
“Let’s go, this cooperation was fairly pleasant,” Fang Yu said as he walked toward the cabin door.
“That’s your personal opinion,” Violet said.
“I guess even with ten times the courage, you wouldn’t dare to stand against me again, would you?” Fang Yu turned his head and smiled.
Violet’s expression changed slightly, but she remained silent.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked out of the cabin door and returned to the ground.
“Lady Violet, where are we heading now?” a subordinate beside her asked.
“To the Jiangnan base,” Violet answered flatly, watching Fang Yu’s retreating figure.
…
The airport in Nandu, Huaibei, was not far from the apartment.
Fang Yu and Bai Ran walked all the way.
It was early morning, the sky was not yet bright, and there were almost no people on the street.
Fang Yu walked ahead, with Bai Ran following behind.
“Bai Ran, you haven’t spoken for a long time, are you feeling down?”
After walking for a while, Fang Yu turned and asked.
Bai Ran’s expression changed, then he lowered his head and said in a deep voice: “Yes… I’m disappointed in myself.”
Just as expected.
Fang Yu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he said: “This is actually unnecessary. It’s my problem, as I’ve recently provoked rather strong opponents.”
Bai Ran didn’t respond.
“I never deliberately lie. I can tell you clearly that although your strength is not top-tier, you definitely belong to the upper echelon in the current martial arts world,” Fang Yu said. “With your talent, if you work hard to cultivate for a while longer, breaking through to the Yuan Ying stage, or even the Hua Shen stage… shouldn’t be a big problem. There’s no need to lose confidence in yourself because of your current performance.”
In the past, Fang Yu rarely spoke so many comforting words to disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect.
If Bai Ran was still in a state of self-blame, then he had no other way to help.
At this moment, Bai Ran raised his head, looked at Fang Yu with determined eyes, and said: “Mr. Fang, I want to leave for a while.”
“Oh? Where to?” Fang Yu asked.
“I want to go into seclusion to cultivate for a period of time. Right now, staying by your side, I would only be a burden,” Bai Ran said. “When I feel my strength has improved significantly, I will definitely return to continue following you, Mr. Fang!”
“No problem,” Fang Yu said.
“Thank you, Mr. Fang!” After saying this, Bai Ran was about to kneel down again.
Fang Yu held him up and said: “That’s enough.”
Bai Ran bowed deeply, then turned to leave.
“Hey, you don’t need to be in such a hurry, do you?” Fang Yu put his hand on Bai Ran’s shoulder.
“Since I’m determined to cultivate vigorously, I should seize every minute and second, not wasting any time,” Bai Ran said.
“When I first met you, I really didn’t think you were such a hothead,” Fang Yu smiled bitterly.
“Does Mr. Fang have any other instructions?” Bai Ran asked.
“I will teach you a set of cultivation methods. When you have mastered it, come back to find me. At that time, I will teach you other practical techniques,” Fang Yu said.
“Thank you, Mr. Fang!” Bai Ran was overjoyed and cupped his hands.
“There’s no one around, so let’s sit down on this patch of grass,” Fang Yu pointed to the lawn by the roadside and said.
“Alright,” Bai Ran replied.
…
At seven in the morning, Fang Yu returned to the apartment alone.
After imparting the Ruyi Heart Method to Bai Ran, Bai Ran had left.
To master the Ruyi Heart Method would take at least five to ten years.
Fang Yu knew that during this time, he probably wouldn’t see Bai Ran.
Of course, Fang Yu supported this decision.
Fang Yu himself was a cultivation fanatic, so he only felt admiration for those obsessed with cultivation.
This was also why he was willing to teach the Ruyi Heart Method to Bai Ran.
There was no one else in the apartment.
Qin Yao and Jiang Ruolan had gone out, while Su Lengyun had returned to Frost Cold Palace, and the Spirit Ring that had absorbed a large amount of yin energy was placed on the desk in Fang Yu’s room.
Fang Yu put the ring on his finger and sat down to meditate.
Now, he needed to carefully investigate where the energy ball containing a vast amount of high-intensity spiritual energy, which had been swallowed by the little golden dragon, had gone.
Fang Yu closed his eyes and looked inward.
At the place where the dragon and phoenix merged, the little golden dragon and the little fire phoenix were rotating as usual.
As for the energy ball, Fang Yu couldn’t sense even a trace of its aura.
“Damn… it’s not really gone, is it? If so, wouldn’t my trip to the Western Regions have been for nothing?” Fang Yu’s heart trembled.
He tried to sense it again, but still got no result.
Looking at the circling little golden dragon, Fang Yu couldn’t think of any solution.
Both the little golden dragon and the little fire phoenix were essentially manifestations of his origin.
That is to say, they should not possess consciousness.
This was also why Fang Yu couldn’t communicate with them.
But now, Fang Yu had to make the little golden dragon spit out the energy ball!
So, Fang Yu opened his eyes, focused his mind, and activated the Divine Dragon Origin.
“Whoosh!”
Fang Yu’s body emitted a dazzling golden light.
The little golden dragon flew out from Fang Yu’s back, circled in the air a few times, then grew to the size of a python.
After that, it continued to circle around Fang Yu’s body without stopping.
Fang Yu tried to communicate with it using his divine consciousness, but received no response.
Then he activated the Divine Dragon Origin again, but this only made the aura around his body stronger.
“Boom…”
The room began to shake violently.
Fang Yu knew that if this continued, the entire apartment would collapse.
Fang Yu had to stop activating the Divine Dragon Origin.
“Spit out that energy ball,” Fang Yu said directly to the circling little golden dragon.
But the little golden dragon completely ignored Fang Yu and continued circling.
“Do you know what that energy ball means to me? Eight meridians! It could help me advance at least ten levels!” Fang Yu said with some excitement.
The little golden dragon still had no reaction.
“Now you’re inside my body, so I’m your master in a way. I trusted you, which is why I gave you the energy ball. And this is how you treat my trust?” Fang Yu questioned.
The little golden dragon still had no reaction, continuing to circle at the same speed.
Fang Yu sighed heavily.
He clearly knew that the little golden dragon probably didn’t possess consciousness.
It swallowed the energy ball, perhaps just treating it as some kind of food…
Although treating such a large amount of spiritual energy as food seemed impossible.
But the little golden dragon before him was, after all, a divine beast!
Divine beasts themselves were the greatest impossibility.
Therefore, anything a divine beast did was understandable.
But such a large energy ball, such a vast amount of spiritual energy, disappearing just like that, still made Fang Yu feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Sigh…”
Fang Yu sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the continuously circling little golden dragon, gritting his teeth in anger.
He reached out, wanting to grab the little golden dragon.
But when he touched the little golden dragon’s body, he could only feel a warm sensation, unable to touch a solid form.
After all, this was just a virtual image manifested from his origin.
Helplessly, Fang Yu could only stop activating the Divine Dragon Origin, letting the little golden dragon return to his body.
“Gone, my eight meridians…” Fang Yu hadn’t felt this kind of heartache for a long time.
If any living being tried to extort him in this way, there would only be two outcomes: maimed or dead.
