Chapter 333: Chapter 328: Irreparable Guilt_1
"Everyone, come up; I'll take you to another place," Fang Ren beckoned to his classmates.
He had already used his Divine Sense to scan the vicinity of the Fang Family Estate and did not detect the presence of the snake's head, uncertain where that head had been taken.
The crowd did not hesitate to step onto the hundred-meter windboard, as no one wanted to remain at the Fang Family's place for long. Fang Ye's callousness and Fang Lizhong's sleaziness made everyone feel there was not a single trustworthy peer in the Fang Family.
Of course, Fang Ren and Fang Tong who had come to rescue them were the exceptions.
Just as Fang Ren was about to leave, he turned his head back to look at the girl named Xu Linlin.
She had already stopped crying, holding the Empty Ming Sword given to her by Fang Ren, and was moving it towards her own neck.
Fang Ren immediately turned the Empty Ming Sword into air, preventing Xu Linlin's suicide.
Xu Linlin stared at Fang Ren with a blank expression: "Why... My life is clearly meaningless now."
"Is your brother not alive anymore?" Fang Ren asked.
"..."
Hearing about her brother, Xu Linlin's expression became pained again.
Yes, if she died, what would happen to her brother? He was still so young, would she really just abandon him at the Fang Family?
"Young Master... can you take us with you?" Xu Linlin asked.
"Bring back your brother."
Hearing Fang Ren's words, Xu Linlin quickly wiped the tears off her face and dashed into the house.
"Ran'er..."
Seeing Fang Ren about to leave, Kong Yingshu felt an immense sense of reluctance. They had only just met for a few minutes, and they were already parting so soon.
She hadn't even had the chance to have a proper conversation with him.
Fang Ren slightly furrowed his brows and turned to look back at Fang Yuanhao: "It's time for you to fulfill your duties as the Family Head. I hope we won't become enemies."
After speaking, he saw Xu Linlin running onto the windboard with her brother, who looked about four years old. Fang Ren did not linger any longer and took everyone with him, flying in another direction towards Tianjiang.
Not until his figure disappeared did the tense atmosphere among the Fang Family members slightly relax.
Fang Yuanhao wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, understanding Fang Ren's final words. They were a warning to properly protect Kong Yingshu and Fang Tong.
If something happened to them at the Fang Family, Fang Ren would become his enemy.

At this very moment, the soldiers at sea had already inflicted considerable damage on the Giant Snake, but they still could not stop its movements.
"There's no choice left! If it advances, it will reach the edge of Tianjiang! Quickly activate the Tianjiang Coast barrier formation!" Bai Chaojin shouted.
"Although the barrier formation is sturdy, given the power of this Giant Snake, it's estimated that it will break in a few hours!" a General said.
"It's better than nothing! As long as we hold out, this beast will definitely die!" Xia Mo shouted, "Activate the coast barrier formation! Notify all major families in Tianjiang to evacuate immediately! This Giant Snake will crush a large area of Tianjiang within two hours!"
"Right! What about the Giant Snake's head? Has Fang Ren not come back yet?" Bai Chaojin asked.
"He's not been seen yet!" a soldier said, "But the beasts have not returned yet. Presumably, Young Master Fang has managed to hold them off."
...
At the edge of a forest by the Tianjiang Coast, Xia Fu Lan was hiding in a thicket with the enormous black snake's head, quietly observing everything before her.
"It seems they're going to use the coast barrier formation," Xia Fu Lan sneered, "Well, in that case, Mu Huanqing will surely protect the other soldiers and enter the formation first. When I transport the head underwater, Mu Huanqing will certainly die outside the formation!"
As the Giant Snake's body drew closer and closer to the barrier, a large number of soldiers in the sky began to retreat. Only the highest-ranking officers in the Xuanyang realm and above held the front line.
Seeing this, Xia Fu Lan immediately jumped into the seawater, flying towards the Giant Snake.
The moment the Giant Snake's head touched the water, the eight heads of the distant serpent attacked the soldiers frantically, as if they had gone mad.
"As expected, as long as it can sense the head, it will come this way," Xia Fu Lan thought, feeling the distant battle. She was elated, knowing she could now use the snake head to change the direction and control where the Giant Snake would go.
"As long as I keep the Giant Snake always chasing Mu Huanqing's position, then there's no fear that she can escape!"

Meanwhile, Fang Ren led the group to the skies above the Mu Family Manor.
The area was currently under attack by hordes of Void Beasts while the soldiers of the Mu Family, led by Mu Qing Mountain, fought against the beasts and rescued the wounded from outside.
Indeed, there was a stark contrast with the Fang Family.
"We're about to go into battle; it's time to let me go," Fang Ren gave Liu Qianqian's shoulder a pat.
"You almost left me to someone despicable!" Liu Qianqian exclaimed loudly.
She was still crying, from the moment she met Fang Ren up until now.
Fang Ren exhaled deeply, understanding she must have been terribly frightened by the previous events.
It was indeed true if Fang Lizhong hadn't died, he would have found a way to threaten her, regardless of whether she annulled the engagement or not.
"Isn't everything alright now?" Fang Ren said.
"It's not! You have to take responsibility for me!" Liu Qianqian insisted firmly.
"That thing... you know it's not possible," Fang Ren replied, at a loss for words. How was he supposed to take responsibility for something he never did? He and Hui Qing already had a child.
"If you don't want to take responsibility, then give me back my Spirit Embryo! No... even if you gave it back to me, you'd still have to take responsibility!" Liu Qianqian bit her lip, her temper flaring as she punched his shoulder hard, tears flowing nonstop.
Fang Ren really didn't understand what she was talking about; her Spirit Embryo was gone, but he hadn't done anything to her, so why was she acting as if he had wronged her in some way?
"What exactly happened to your Spirit Embryo?" Fang Ren was eager to know the details of the matter.
```
Without the Spirit Embryo, Liu Qianqian can only be an ordinary person from now on.
"I gave it to you!" Liu Qianqian cried.
Fang Ren sighed, he planned to wait until Liu Qianqian's emotions had calmed down before asking her about it.
"You are too tired, take a rest."
Fang Ren raised his hand, intending to knock her unconscious.
"I don't want to!"
Liu Qianqian buried her head in his shoulder again, her voice beginning to soften: "Don't knock me out, I don't want to wake up and not see you again..."
"Then get down."
"Understood."
Seeing that he was about to use force, Liu Qianqian could only comply.
But before getting down, she still fiercely kissed Fang Ren on the lips.
Fang Ren quickly dodged, and Liu Qianqian wiped her tears, looking like a little girl before she finally got off him.
Seeing that she finally got down, Fang Ren once again unleashed the sea of blood behind him, picked up the sickle and charged towards the Mu Family Manor.
Liu Qianqian had just landed on the air board when her female classmates immediately crowded around her.
"Hey, Qian Qian! Did you get knocked silly from fighting! He's even been in the same bed with Madame Xuan!"
"Exactly! Where's your usual poise! Why are you acting like you're desperately throwing your life away!"
"What exactly did he do to you! Must you take responsibility? You couldn't possibly have really done it with him, could you!?"
"Do you know, Madame Xuan really will kill you!"
...
The girls around her spoke one after another, but Liu Qianqian did not care much; she just watched Fang Ren below, saying nothing.
When she faced the moment near death, she decided to be reckless.
Would Mu Huanqing really kill her?
She didn't know, but she wasn't afraid either; although she had lost the Spirit Embryo, it had given her an unprecedented courage.
"The class president is screwed," Jing Haichuan sighed beside her: "Ranzi is probably screwed too, Madame Xuan will definitely go to Jing Style Shop to buy a small whip, and whip Ranzi non-stop every night."
"Damn, that image... Can Ranzi withstand it?" Li Xingwang couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.
The dense scent of death pervaded the sky, and soon Fang Ren had driven back the beast horde.
He had killed tens of thousands, but this number was still small compared to the vastness of the beast tide.
These Void beasts were very afraid of him; within half a minute of his entering the battlefield, the beasts had already begun to flee upon seeing him.
Watching the retreating beast horde, Mu Qing Mountain, covered in blood, breathed a sigh of relief.
He originally thought that the Mu Family Estate would be done for, but upon seeing the sudden descent of the red light from the sky, as if an invincible deity had come down to earth, he suddenly felt very emotional.
Initially, Fang Ren was just a boy who couldn't even cultivate, but now, with a wave of his hand, he had killed tens of thousands of creatures.
His growth had been too fast.
In fact, he should have known long ago, how could an ordinary person with no cultivation manage to shatter the Sun Stone just by testing his talent?
"Mu Family Grandfather, my classmates have no place to take refuge, I'd like to ask for your help," Fang Ren retracted his aura and spoke to Mu Qing Mountain.
Mu Qing Mountain retracted his True Qi, shook his head and smiled: "You saved tens of thousands of lives in my estate, how could I not agree to your request?"
"Thank you, please take good care of them," he said.
With that, Fang Ren let down a group of students from the sky.
"This is... the Mu Family Manor? The family of Madame Xuan?" Continue reading at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net
"My God! I never thought I'd see the day when I could come to the Mu Family Manor! It feels kind of dreamy!"
"Girls! Hold down the class president! Don't let her act impulsively again!" Teacher Huang immediately ordered.
This was the place where Mu Huanqing's elders lived, if Liu Qianqian did something out of line, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"You must have been to the central battlefield, right? How's the situation now?" Mu Qing Mountain asked.
"Gruesome," Fang Ren said: "But we have control over one of the serpent heads, I believe the situation is turning around."
Mu Qing Mountain sighed: "How are Qing'er and Tianyuan?"
"When I left, they were still temporarily out of danger," Fang Ren did not dare to guarantee their current situation.
"Then you better get back there." Mu Qing Mountain frowned: "I need to hurry and help the other families."
The situation was urgent, and Fang Ren did not linger any longer, turning towards the sky.
"Fang Ren!!" she shouted.
As he was leaving, he saw Liu Qianqian on the ground, held by several of her female classmates.
She was still crying, watching him, and continuously saying something.
But he was already far away, only hearing her shout his name.
That heartbreaking feeling, that reluctance... what was wrong with her?
She said the Spirit Embryo was inside his body...
Fang Ren couldn't help but reflect on the past events.
Suddenly, he stopped, standing there stunned.
Guilt!
An intense guilt, an unamendable sense of guilt!
It burst open in his heart.
