Chapter 704: 704
Ling Fan dashed swiftly, having just escaped the Bess Mountain Range when the phone on him rang again.
"Hmm?"
Ling Fan glanced at the caller ID, immediately stopped, and answered the phone.
"Beiming, I've been exposed!" Kuiler's voice came through at once.
"What happened?" Ling Fan's expression suddenly changed.
"Ed's dead, and I managed to escape by chance..." In the call, Kuiler went on to recount the events to Ling Fan.
"Could you recognize who the other party was?" Ling Fan frowned, his demeanor turning cold.
If it was because of him that Kuiler had been implicated and killed, he would forever bear the guilt in his heart!
"I couldn't recognize them, the other party never got out of the car, and I couldn't get close at all. Their weapons were quite peculiar!" Kuiler shook his head from the other end of the phone.
Ling Fan's brows furrowed deeply, Mech Warriors, blue lightning weapons, in the Underworld, he had never heard of such equipment.
"Beiming, I've taken Alice out with me; it's Ed's last wish. I can't let anything happen to her, but now I don't know where to hide that would be better!
It's inevitable that the Blood Clan will soon start a frantic hunt for me!" Kuiler said anxiously.
"There is no safer place than Huaxia. Take Alice to Zhongnan Academy in Huaxia, I'll give them a call right away!" Ling Fan instructed through the phone.
"Okay, Beiming, thank you!" Kuiler spoke.
"Hmm, you better leave quickly, I'll figure out the rest!" Ling Fan said indifferently, his eyes brimming with a killing intent.
Kuiler was a friend he had met by chance while venturing in the Underworld, a member of the Blood Clan who could walk in the sunlight.
He was also known as the Holy Spirit, the physique all Blood Clan dreamt of having; every member of the Blood Clan longs for sunlight, yet fears it immensely!
Once Kuiler's secret had been discovered, he became the subject of the Blood Clan's research, commonly referred to as a lab rat; today they'd draw some blood, tomorrow they'd cut some flesh, and the day after they'd make a tissue slice.
This live experiment was indeed a fate worse than death!
Later, by sheer luck, he escaped and encountered Ling Fan, who then arranged for him to stay with Ed!
After hanging up the phone, Ling Fan changed direction and headed straight for Laima Principality to check the situation.
In an ancient castle in England.
After finishing the call with Kern, Brook couldn't calm his mood for a long time.
"Lydia, pass my command, all members of the Blood Clan mobilize, search closely for Kuiler's whereabouts, this time, he must not get away!" Brook ordered gravely.
Decoding the mystery of the Holy Spirit, the ability to walk in sunlight, was filled with infinite temptation and longing for the Blood Clan.
"The Holy Spirit has appeared?" Lydia spoke indifferently.
She knew a bit about Kuiler and felt a trace of sympathy in her heart for him.
"Hmm, he is crucial to our Blood Clan. It might not be but once in several hundred years that a Holy Spirit bloodline appears. It's said that the Progenitor Cain feared no sunlight. I wonder what connection this Holy Spirit bloodline actually has with the Progenitor Cain!" Brook's gaze was intense.
On the African savannah, Ling Fan's figure flickered urgently, covering the distance of several meters in a single step.
"Wait a minute!" the voice of the Holy Princess suddenly resounded in his mind.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Ling Fan paused, taken aback.
"Holy Princess, what's wrong?"
"Look over there!" The Holy Princess whispered in his mind.
Ling Fan immediately followed the Holy Princess's hint and turned to look, only to see that miles away, two animals were fighting. One of them was the king of the grasslands, a male lion.
As for the other, Ling Fan couldn't help but crack a smile upon seeing it. It was the honey badger, also known as the fearless master of 'take it easy, if not, let's fight' attitude,
This animal, known as the most fearless in the world, is regularly featured in the Guinness World Records. Some joke that the chaos in Africa is decided by the honey badger!
At that moment, this honey badger was vigorously confronting the lion without showing any sign of weakness.
"Holy Princess, this little guy is quite interesting, what's up?" Ling Fan laughed and asked, puzzled.
"This little one is rather special, it doesn't exist in the depths of space, and I've never seen one before. You could take it under your wing; it might bring you some unexpected surprises in the future!" The Holy Princess mused.
"Um..." upon hearing this, Ling Fan suddenly felt as if a flock of crows was flying past his head.
This creature, can it be taken under his command? Damn it, can he even manage it well?
"In the Cang Ling Realm, go to the Treasure Pavilion I've sealed and take an Illusion Spirit Pill for it to consume!" The Holy Princess reminded him.
There was indeed a Treasure Pavilion in the Cang Ling Realm, always sealed by the Holy Princess, who had said that it was not yet his time to use the items within.
So, it had always been closed to him, but he hadn't expected to have the chance to glimpse it today.
Afterward, with the Holy Princess's guidance and assistance, Ling Fan took out a silver Elixir that shone with flowing light and color from the Treasure Pavilion.
"This Pill is a top-tier Elixir for the Shape Transformation of Spirit Beasts and demonic beasts. Embed your Divine Sense onto it, and then feed it to him. It will transform into a human form and automatically bind with you through a Soul Contract, so you don't have to worry about it betraying you!" The Holy Princess explained.
"This... this is amazing, wouldn't it be a waste?" Official Ling felt somewhat reluctant.
He had fantasized that one day he would leave Earth, venture deep into space, and get himself a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, a Qilin, a Fire Phoenix, or something as a mount—how cool would that be!
Now that the Holy Princess was suggesting he make this creature his mount, Official Ling was indeed quite resistant.
"Oh, right, you can also embed some knowledge and information from Earth into the Pill through an Array, allowing it to slowly absorb and digest the knowledge over time!" The Holy Princess reminded him again.
"That's possible?" Official Ling was reassured upon hearing this.
He thought that this little guy was stubborn and untamed. If he didn't find a way to properly guide it, it would definitely be a troublesome creature.
After much consideration, he had a sudden flash of inspiration. The five-thousand-year cultural history of Huaxia, classics like the Four Books and Five Classics, teachings of Daoism and Confucianism.
There could be nothing better than these for cultivating knowledge. So be it!
Right then, following the Holy Princess's instructions, Official Ling racked his brains, packing all the classical culture he had learned from his master Yan Bao and his own knowledge into the Pill.
By this time, the robust lion had been cowed by the fierce honey badger and turned tail to run.
Seeing no more adversaries, the little guy looked around and soon noticed Official Ling, who was watching from a distance. It immediately charged towards him, huffing and puffing.
It really had the guts, not caring who he was but ready to fight first.
After everything was ready, Ling Fan saw Flat-Head Bro baring its teeth and approaching. Trusting the Holy Princess, he gritted his teeth and finally decided.
He flicked his wrist, and the 'Illusion Spirit Pill' transformed into a beam of light that shot directly into Flat-Head Bro's mouth!
In an instant, there was a burst of light, and the small body of Flat-Head Bro was enveloped in a ball of white light, beginning to undergo an earth-shattering transformation into a human shape!
