Chapter 2736 A Friend
Chapter 2736 A Friend
The surrounding members of the Shadow Alliance looked extremely respectful toward the woman. Upon seeing her, they all lowered their heads and bowed.
"Sir, it's that kid."
The woman lifted her head, looking at Fang Heng, who was in the midst of combat. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Huh?
Why him?
Tide of Death!
Not far away, more blood waves erupted!
Fang Heng continued to chase and cut his way through the Shadow Alliance members.
The blood imprint had already locked onto seven demons of approximately S-level strength.
None of them were going to escape!
Today, they would all die!
One of the high-tier demons, who had been marked, noticed something was wrong first. He couldn't care about his reputation anymore and was the first to flee. At that moment, he had already left the battlefield but still felt his aura being tightly locked from behind.
D*mn!
The persistent Holy Court!
The demon cursed in his mind, a sinister gleam appearing in his eyes. He quickly headed toward the rear team of the Shadow Alliance.
If he could lead Fang Heng there, using their strength, he might be able to stop him and escape.
"You! ...Get out of the way! Don't block me!"
The demon frowned, realizing that the team in front of him wasn't in the chaos he expected. Instead, they stood in his way, not moving an inch.
What was even more surprising was that the looks in their eyes were filled with disdain.
It felt like they were looking at a clown.
What's going on?
The next moment, the demon's heart skipped a beat.
"Bang!"
Before him, everything blurred, followed by a sharp pain in his abdomen. At an even greater speed, he was blasted to the right, crashing into the rock wall with a loud boom, creating a deep crater.
The demon had very strong defensive abilities, so the attack didn't cause significant damage. He quickly got up and looked at the one who had just attacked him, a look of fear appearing in his eyes, and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
"Sir, I didn't know it was you. I'm sorry, I..."
"Shut up."
The woman didn't even glance at the demon. Her eyes were fixed on Fang Heng, who was still fighting. A hint of contemplation appeared in her gaze as she murmured to herself.
"Fang Bai, I thought it was someone else, but it's you..."
It had been some time since they last met, and Fang Heng's strength had increased even more.
She felt a little displeased...
Although they had also been putting in a lot of effort to improve recently, it seemed that Fang Bai's strength had grown faster than theirs.
How did this kid cultivate?
Fang Heng, using the God's Punishment skill, always took more than ten seconds per use, which made his kill efficiency lower. After quickly eliminating a few enemies, he set his sights on the last demon.
When he saw the demon kneeling before the woman, he slowed his pace and walked toward her.
"Sir! Save me, Sir!!"
The demon was almost going mad.
The pressure Fang Heng brought was too great, and the only exit he could escape through was blocked by the woman.
In fact, he was more afraid of the woman before him than the unexpected appearance of Fang Heng.
The demon didn't dare to force his way out and could only kneel and beg for mercy.
Fang Heng walked up to the woman and glanced at the demon on the ground, "So, this is one of your people?"
Qiu Xiaoling smiled slightly, "Just a dog. Do whatever you want with him."
"Oh."
Whoosh!
Fang Heng quickly raised his hand and pressed it against the demon's forehead.
God's Punishment!
"Don't!"
The demon let out a scream, followed by a swift disintegration into ash under the divine light's attack.

Fang Heng clapped his hands with satisfaction, then turned to Qiu Xiaoling and asked, "What's going on? Why are you here? Where are the others?"
"Everyone's here. I heard that a Holy Court spy had infiltrated our team, so they sent me to take a look. I didn't expect to find you here," Qiu Xiaoling replied with a shrug and a light laugh. "It's great you're here; we really need some help. Come on, I'll take you to meet the others."
Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji exchanged glances, both with a look of suspicion in their eyes.
What's going on here?
Did they recognize each other? Old friends?
Qiu Xiaoling didn't ask Fang Heng about the conflict with the Shadow Alliance members. To her, all those people were just pawns to be used.
Their origins didn't matter.
"By the way, I brought two friends along. They're my two companions."
Fang Heng said, waving at Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji. The two immediately followed.
"Let's go, we're all friends here."
Under the surprised gazes of the Shadow Alliance members, Fang Heng walked out of the crowd and left with Qiu Xiaoling.
...
Fang Heng followed Qiu Xiaoling through the winding corridors of the trial cavern maze for nearly twenty minutes, until they reached a relatively spacious cavern area.
Many members of the Shadow Alliance had gathered here.
This...
Fang Heng noticed them drinking something and looked up towards the ceiling.
The people from the Shadow Alliance were constantly carving upward along the rock walls of the ceiling.
I see now.
Since the maze wasn't going anywhere, they were trying to forcibly dig a passage upward.
Ji Xiaobo glanced at Fang Heng.
It looked like something Mr. Fang would do.
Qiu Xiaoling stopped in front of a narrow cavern entrance and said, "Fang Heng, come with me. This is for our discussion only."
"Alright, wait for me here. I'll be out soon."
Fang Heng lightly nodded at Ji Xiaobo and Tang Chuji, signaling them to wait outside the cavern for now.
Once inside the cavern, Fang Heng saw Bai Mu and his group sitting on stone blocks.
In addition to the familiar Bai Mu and his companions, there were two more members in the team.
When Bai Mu saw Fang Heng, he immediately smiled.
"Fang Heng, we've been trying to contact you for the past few days. Unfortunately, we couldn't reach you, so we had no choice but to act on our own. But who would have thought we'd run into you here? I guess it's fate. The Holy Court's luck must be bad."
A few days ago, after receiving related news, Bai Mu immediately set out to find Fang Heng to join forces. However, at that time, Fang Heng had been in seclusion in the death realm.
Unable to find him and with time running short, Bai Mu and his team had no choice but to act first.
"So what's going on?" Fang Heng, still somewhat confused, asked. "So the Shadow Alliance was something you guys orchestrated?"
"The situation is a bit complicated. Let me start from the beginning."
Bai Mu nodded and began, "Since we parted ways last time, we've been searching for our imprisoned companions. It's been a bit of a twisted process, but the outcome has been good. Not only did we find some allies, but our personal strength has also significantly increased."
Fang Heng smirked.
The so-called personal strength increase was probably related to the absorption of the same-origin demonic seeds, wasn't it?
