Chapter 824: Chapter 824
The Dragon Maiden and the Linghu sisters were intent on pursuing the two, hoping to assist Fang Bai with their own strength, but they soon realized that they simply could not catch up with their combined abilities and had to give up.
"Mr. Fang won’t be in danger, will he?"
Linghu Baimei looked in the direction where Fang Bai and Gudela had disappeared, frowning as she asked.
"Judging from the skirmish just now, it seemed that Mr. Fang had the upper hand. Mr. Fang will definitely be able to defeat that Blood Clan powerhouse!"
Though Linghu Qianjiao said this, she also felt a bit worried inside.
Compared to the Linghu sisters, the Dragon Maiden had interacted with Fang Bai more and knew that he had a myriad of tricks up his sleeve, which is why she had great confidence in him and smilingly said, "Don’t worry, in this battle, Instructor Fang is bound to win! Let’s just wait patiently here!"
Upon hearing the Dragon Maiden say this, the Linghu sisters felt somewhat relieved and stood side by side with the Dragon Maiden on the balcony, facing the night breeze, their gazes stretched into the distance, waiting for Fang Bai’s return.
After Fang Bai and Gudela left, the guests who had been awakened by the noise of their fight each rubbed their eyes; some thought they had seen things, some believed they might have dreamt the whole ordeal, and soon went back to bed to continue resting.
One hour later, the Linghu sisters were the first to sense Fang Bai’s presence. Peering out, they saw Fang Bai briskly approaching from the distant street.
The Linghu sisters almost simultaneously exclaimed, their pretty faces showing joyful and excited expressions.
The Dragon Maiden, whose strength was much inferior to that of the sisters, only sensed Fang Bai’s familiar essence energy when he nearly reached the hotel under which they were staying, and her face also lit up with a smile.
The three women met Fang Bai downstairs at the hotel and, seeing him unharmed and safe, all felt an immense sense of relief.
"Instructor Fang, did you kill that Gudela?"
The Dragon Maiden asked.
The Dragon Maiden understood Fang Bai’s temperament, knowing that once he harbored the intent to kill, his opponent had slim chances of escaping. Now that Fang Bai had returned safely, it indicated that Gudela’s prospects were grim.
Fang Bai shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "That old fellow escaped! He excels at flying, whereas I can’t stay in the air for long. Although I managed to severely injure him, I could only watch helplessly as he flew away right under my nose!"
There was a look of regret on his face, thinking that if his Cultivation Level could reach the ’Feather Essence Realm,’ he could turn his Essence Energy into wings and fly in the sky for extended periods like a bird, at which point Gudela’s advantage in flight would have been completely negated, leaving him no chance to escape.
Regrettably, Fang Bai’s current Cultivation Level was only at the ’Absorbing Essence Realm,’ which was still a considerable distance from the ’Feather Essence Realm.’ However, Fang Bai was full of confidence in himself, thinking that at the rate he was progressing, it wouldn’t take too long to reach not only the ’Feather Essence Realm’ but also the ’Innate Realm’.
"He got away... It’s a pity..."
The Dragon Maiden murmured, a touch of worry in her eyes as she frowned and said, "The Blood Clan sustains itself on drinking blood. With Gudela’s escape, who knows how many people will fall victim to his predations..."
Fang Bai said, "That is also my concern! Gudela is immensely powerful, and should he go mad, I fear no one but me could possibly stand against him! Dragon Maiden, contact the leader immediately, and have him notify the other members of the ’Dragon Guard’ to keep a close watch on Gudela. If they find out his whereabouts, tell me at once so that I can deal with him!"
The Dragon Maiden nodded, took out her phone, and walked to the side, where she relayed Fang Bai’s instructions to Long Jingtian.
Long Jingtian, as the leader of the "Dragon Guard", was well-informed and knowledgeable, especially about the Blood Clan. Upon hearing that a Blood Clan Prince had actually come to Huaxia and even launched an attack on Fang Bai and others, he immediately took the matter very seriously. He mobilized all kinds of resources and forces of the "Dragon Guard" in Huaxia to track down Gudela’s whereabouts.
"Although Gudela has escaped, I chopped off one of his arms and inflicted several serious wounds on him. Despite the Blood Clan’s ability for limb regeneration and self-healing of injuries, it is impossible for him to fully recover in a short period of time. Perhaps he has been deterred by me and dared not stay in Huaxia, opting to flee straight back to Europa!"
Fang Bai saw the Dragon Maiden finish her call with Long Jingtian, her expression grave, and he said with a smile.
The Dragon Maiden nodded and said, "That’s possible, but we still can’t let down our guard."
After Gudela’s disturbance, none of the four felt like resting anymore, so Fang Bai simply gathered the three women in his room to explain Martial Dao and distribute some Essence Stones to them to aid in their cultivation.
After daybreak, the four of them left the hotel and took a direct flight to Yanjing.
As soon as they arrived in Yanjing and were walking off the plane, the Dragon Maiden received news from a "Dragon Guard" member in Donghai City that Neo and Zhao Shengshi had encountered a tragic car accident in the suburbs of Donghai City, resulting in both of their deaths.
As for whether the car accident was accidental or man-made, opinions varied.
However, those who knew Neo’s background were well aware that an ordinary car accident couldn’t possibly claim his life, so there was certainly something fishy about Neo’s death.
Neo had a close relationship with America’s "Statue of Liberty", and his death drew the attention of the "Statue of Liberty". Isabella sent many people to Huaxia to investigate but for some reason, later withdrew them, and the matter ultimately came to nothing.
In the whole world, only a handful of people knew that the deaths of Neo and Zhao Shengshi were due to offending someone they shouldn’t have.
After returning to Yanjing, Fang Bai, together with the Dragon Maiden, took Linghu Qianjiao and Linghu Baimei to the headquarters of the "Dragon Guard", where they met Long Jingtian, the leader of "Dragon Guard".
Long Jingtian was surprised to find that the leaders of "Wrathful Beauties" were two such young and beautiful women, and was even more shocked to sense that the Linghu sisters’ Cultivation Level had reached the Heaven Level Realm. Although it was a bit below his, it still astonished him greatly.
Upon learning that the Linghu sisters were able to ascend to the Heaven Level Realm thanks to Fang Bai’s guidance, Long Jingtian privately approached Fang Bai and said, "Instructor Fang, you can’t play favorites. You also need to take the time to train the Dragon Maiden into a Heaven Level Martial Artist."
Fang Bai, of course, readily and wholeheartedly agreed to Long Jingtian’s request.
After the Linghu sisters had met Long Jingtian and received the distinct identification of the "Dragon Guard", they officially joined the "Dragon Guard" as members.
As for the other members of "Wrathful Beauties", they naturally became peripheral members of the "Dragon Guard", though this was something the rest of the "Wrathful Beauties" members did not know. It would be up to Linghu sisters to inform them after they returned.
The next morning, the Linghu sisters temporarily left Yanjing to summon their subordinates from around the world.
After staying with the "Dragon Guard" for a day, Fang Bai also returned to his hometown of Zhongzhou City.
