Chapter 790: Chapter 790
The hotel where Fang Bai stayed was a seaside hotel with a view of the ocean; at night, opening the window of his room and facing the sea, he could enjoy the enchanting night scene. A warm sea breeze blew from the ocean, refreshing the mind and uplifting the spirit.
After having some food in the hotel restaurant and returning to his room, Fang Bai went out to the balcony, sat down cross-legged, and began to circulate his cultivation technique, drawing in the Water Element Qi and Wind Essence Qi from the sea, as well as the Fire Primordial Qi.
The Water Element Qi and the Wind Essence Qi both came from above the sea surface; however, the Fire Primordial Qi was from Hawaii Island.
Before coming to Hawaii, Fang Bai had learned about this beautiful archipelago and knew that the volcano about to erupt was called Mauna Loa, the largest active volcano on the islands.
It was said that before each eruption of the Mauna Loa Volcano, certain signs would appear. First, a huge heat wave would loom over the volcano, followed by rolling dark clouds, then thunder and lightning along with torrential rain.
The direction Fang Bai faced was none other than the Mauna Loa Volcano. A vast amount of Fire Primordial Qi was continuously emanating from there, indicating that heatwaves had formed in the area, signifying that this world-famous volcano was on the brink of erupting.
At midnight, while in a state of cultivation, Fang Bai suddenly sensed a familiar Essence Energy fluctuation.
That fluctuation in energy was from Linghu Baimei, the sister of the Right Saintess of "Wrathful Beauties," Linghu Qian Jiao.
"This woman really made it to Hawaii! I wonder if her sister has found her yet," Fang Bai murmured to himself.
Linghu Baimei, under Fang Bai’s Divine Sense surveillance, was darting toward a distant villa under the cover of night, accompanied by several female martial artists. All of them had Earth Level cultivation levels and were likely assassins from "Wrathful Beauties."
"Seeing how they are in such a rush, I wonder what they are up to. Could they be off to commit murder again?" Fang Bai thought with a stir in his heart, standing up and leaping down from the balcony.
On this quiet night with hardly anyone on the streets, Fang Bai landed and, with a light tap of his toes on the ground, turned into a fleeting shadow and darted out, pursuing Linghu Baimei and the others.
As Linghu Baimei and her close followers sped forward, believing themselves unseen by gods and unnoticed by ghosts, they were oblivious that their tracks were already being monitored by Fang Bai’s Divine Sense.
When they were still a kilometer away from the villa, a dark figure silently flashed out from a secluded alley beside the street and approached Linghu Baimei and her group.
She was a young female martial artist dressed just like Linghu Baimei and her companions, seemingly another member of "Wrathful Beauties."
"Xiao Ru, any new discoveries?" Linghu Baimei stopped and asked as she saw the female martial artist.
"Miss Linghu, Huo Niao arrived in Hawaii and has been staying in this villa. He has brought four helpers with him, all of whom are at the early stage of the Earth Level realm!" the female martial artist reported solemnly.
"Very good!" Linghu Baimei nodded with a hint of a smile on her lips.
Her smile blossomed like a hundred flowers in full bloom, brimming with charm, enough to captivate the soul—sadly, apart from Fang Bai, there was no one else to appreciate it.
"Tell the sisters that at one in the morning, we proceed with the plan! I will distract Huo Niao, while the others will join forces to kill Huo Niao’s two aides. Then, we’ll attack Huo Niao together, aiming to eliminate this most capable lieutenant under the Statue of Liberty’s leader Isabella!"
Linghu Baimei spoke with a hint of excitement, adding, "The Russian Federation’s Blizzard is offering a five hundred million US Dollar bounty to eliminate Huo Niao and sever Isabella’s left and right arms. If we succeed, the reputation of Wrathful Beauties will soar even higher! Tell the sisters to brace themselves. In this battle, failure is not an option!"
The female martial artist responded and vanished once more into the darkness.
Linghu Baimei checked the time on her watch and, along with a few aides, concealed herself in the darkness hundreds of meters away from the villa, patiently waiting for the designated time to arrive.
"This woman actually wants to kill Huo Niao; how audacious! Isn’t she afraid of provoking the rage of the Statue of Liberty’s leader, Isabella? Her sister will surely do everything to stop her once she learns of this," Fang Bai pondered.
Fang Bai’s Divine Sense enveloped Linghu Baimei and her allies, clearly capturing every detail of their conversation.
Previously, Fang Bai had been eager to eliminate Wrathful Beauties, but after getting to know Linghu Qianjiao, he learned that even within this organization, there were good and bad members, which made him change his mind.
As for those members of Wrathful Beauties who sought to assassinate him, except for Linghu Baimei, Fang Bai remained merciless—no matter how many came, he would slay them all.
And as for Linghu Baimei, should she dare to attempt to kill him again, Fang Bai would take measures to severely discipline her. If she refused to turn back from her misguided ways, he would simply cripple her cultivation level, stripping her of the capability to do harm.
After pondering for a moment, Fang Bai decided to inform Linghu Qianjiao of Linghu Baimei’s whereabouts as a way to lend a hand, saving her the burden of searching for her sister everywhere.
Having each other’s mobile phone numbers made it easy to contact Linghu Qianjiao, and Fang Bai quickly relayed the situation to her.
"My sister is getting crazier by the minute! Isabella, the leader of the Statue of Liberty, is a powerhouse on the same level as our master. Killing her most capable subordinate is tantamount to offending her to death, which will surely provoke her boundless fury, and then Wrathful Beauties will find no peace!"
Upon hearing the news from Fang Bai, Linghu Qianjiao was extremely anxious and said to Fang Bai, "Mr. Fang, I’ll rush over there right now. If I can’t make it in time, please do all you can to stop my sister... And if you really can’t stop her, please look after her and ensure she isn’t harmed... I implore you!"
Unable to refuse Linghu Qianjiao’s pleading, Fang Bai sighed, "Alright, I’ll do my best!"
After hanging up the phone, Fang Bai moved closer to the villa where Huo Niao resided, and then extended his Divine Sense into the building.
"Ha, Linghu Baimei seeking to kill Huo Niao is likely going to result in a world of pain! Hmm, letting her suffer a bit might be good for her..." Fang Bai thought to himself.
Moments later, Fang Bai withdrew his Divine Sense, a trace of amusement in his eyes.
The Wrathful Beauties’ female martial artist had only detected Huo Niao and his four aides in the villa, but when Fang Bai used his Divine Sense to investigate, he discovered that Isabella, the leader of the Statue of Liberty, was also present.
What surprised Fang Bai was that Europa’s Holy Temple leader Sardin, along with several Earth Level strong practitioners from the Holy Temple, were also inside the villa, seemingly discussing some secretive matters.
With Isabella and Sardin both having the strength of Heaven Level Martial Artists, just the two of them were more than enough to overpower Linghu Baimei and her underlings. If Linghu Baimei and her followers blindly stormed into the villa to assassinate Huo Niao, it would be nothing short of a death wish.
