Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor
Chapter 2396: Fan Hua’s Sorrow
The cultivation level of Fan Hua and other immortals is much weaker than that of Fang Bai, so while Fang Bai can sense a lingering wisp of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s aura, they cannot detect it.
"Uncle, let’s quickly go find my father!"
Upon hearing that her father might still be alive, Fan Hua visibly breathed a sigh of relief and urged anxiously.
"Let’s wait a moment."
Fang Bai spread his Divine Sense, searching over Bamboo Island, and soon discovered a small Concealment Formation in the center of the island.
The small Concealment Formation was arranged with great skill, evidently the work of a highly skilled Array Master.
Ordinary immortals would not be able to detect the existence of this small Concealment Formation, but Fang Bai, who had been adept in the Array Path a thousand years ago and was a unique Array Master in the Immortal Realm, considered the Concealment Formation on Bamboo Island like child’s play.
Fang Bai led Xia Chenyu and other immortals to the small Concealment Formation, and easily broke it, revealing an entrance leading directly to the seabed, deep and bottomless, with Immortal Qi gushing out, clearly a treasury storing cultivation resources.
"Let’s go in and have a look!"
Fang Bai said, jumping into the entrance first, followed closely by Xia Chenyu and others, and they flew down.
After descending several hundred feet, their feet touched the ground, revealing a vast space filled with countless cultivation resources, and the rich Immortal Qi permeated the entire space.
"These cultivation resources are probably accumulated over thousands of years by the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island..."
Compared to the incredibly excited Xia Chenyu and other immortals, Fang Bai remained quite calm. After all, the amount of cultivation resources he had seen in his two lifetimes was unmatched by any other immortal.
Fang Bai said, "The Three Immortals of Bamboo Island destroyed Antarctica Island, which is unforgivable! Since we have discovered these cultivation resources, we will not leave them a single bit! You take as much as you can first, and I will take the rest!"
Xia Chenyu and the others naturally did not stand on ceremony. Fan Hua loathed the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island to the core and wished to take everything from Bamboo Island to compensate for her own Immortal Island’s loss. As soon as Fang Bai finished speaking, they began filling their Spatial Rings with as many cultivation resources as possible.
Once they had taken nearly everything, Fang Bai waved his large hand, collecting the remaining cultivation resources into his Five Elements Space Ring. The once fully stocked underground space now appeared empty.
"Let’s go. To find the Antarctica Immortal Emperor!"
To speed up the search, Fang Bai once again let Fan Hua and the others enter his Five Elements Space Ring, then left the underground space, summoned the Wind Roc, and soared into the sky, tracing the aura left behind by the Antarctica Immortal Emperor at high speed.
During the flight, Fang Bai carefully reviewed and organized his thoughts, feeling that the course of events might have been something like this:
The Antarctica Immortal Emperor and the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island, in the midst of fierce fighting, arrived at Bamboo Island, where they were attacked by a third party of immortals. In the end, it is uncertain whether they were captured or for other reasons, but they left Bamboo Island. However, since they could sense their aura, it indicated they had not fallen.
Of course, Fang Bai was merely speculating, and what exactly happened would only become clear once the Antarctica Immortal Emperor was found.
Fang Bai was most worried that the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s aura would suddenly break off, leaving no trail, which would be truly despairing.
He silently allowed his Divine Sense to seep into the Five Elements Space Ring, taking a glance at Fan Hua, who was meditating under the World Tree. He wondered if this young Female Immortal could bear the blow of losing her parents.
Although Fang Bai and the Antarctica Immortal Emperor were not sworn brothers, they were closer than ordinary friends. If something truly happened to the Antarctica Immortal Emperor and his wife, Fang Bai would certainly take care of Fan Hua, not allowing her to be bullied.
Fang Bai urged the Wind Roc, flying ceaselessly over the Antarctica Sea. It is unknown how long it took, but they finally saw a black line appear between the sky and the sea.
However, it was at this time that Fang Bai’s greatest fear came true.
The aura of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor grew faint and ambiguous, and by the time they flew over land, it had completely disappeared.
Although the disappearance of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor’s aura did not necessarily mean he had fallen, it was not good news at all, leaving Fang Bai feeling immeasurably heavy-hearted.
With no aura to follow, Fang Bai did not know where to fly. Left with no choice, he released Fan Hua and the others from the Five Elements Space again.
"Uncle, is there any news of my father?"
After Fan Hua came out, she raised her flawless face and asked, hope gleaming in her eyes.
Fang Bai did not have the heart to tell her the truth as he looked into her big, ocean-blue eyes, but he knew that further concealment would be equally unhelpful. He let out a soft sigh and said, "Your father’s aura... has disappeared..."
Fan Hua’s face turned pale instantly, her body wobbling as Xia Chenyu and Qin Yaorao hurriedly supported her.
"Dad... has he fallen?"
Fan Hua seemed to be speaking to herself or asking Fang Bai, her eyes already brimming with tears, evoking compassion.
Fang Bai chuckled bitterly and said, "It’s hard to say now. Usually, when an immortal’s aura disappears, there are only two reasons: one is that the immortal knows the art of concealment and has concealed their aura; the other... is that they have fallen!"
Fan Hua’s body trembled lightly, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
She knew her father, although knowing some concealment techniques, could not completely hide his aura. Moreover, given that he was fighting and flying with the Three Immortals of Bamboo Island, how could he deliberately use a concealment technique?
If Fang Bai’s words were true, then her father, the Antarctica Immortal Emperor, likely had a high probability of having fallen.
Fan Hua’s fragrant shoulders heaved as she closed her mouth tightly, trying not to cry out. But when Xia Chenyu gently embraced her, she completely broke down, wrapping her arms around Xia Chenyu and crying out loud.
Her father fallen, her mother nowhere to be found, and now she was a child without parents. Never having been apart from them, the thought deeply grieved and terrified Fan Hua, feeling as if her world was engulfed in darkness, and she cried even more miserably.
Fang Bai reached out and lightly tapped Fan Hua, causing her body to go limp and slowly fall into Xia Chenyu’s arms, losing consciousness.
"It’s harmful for her to continue grieving like this. Let her sleep a long sleep in the Five Elements Space Ring. Maybe she’ll feel better when she wakes up."
Fang Bai sighed as he spoke.
Fang Gang and Yang Mei deeply sympathized with Fan Hua’s plight. Once Fang Bai placed Fan Hua into the Five Elements Space Ring, they volunteered to enter the ring as well to accompany her, practicing under the World Tree in the meantime.
"Little brother, what do we do now?"
Fang Yun asked as she watched Fang Bai, who was frowning.
Fang Bai remained silent for a long while before finally exhaling and saying, "Although the aura of the Antarctica Immortal Emperor has disappeared, it doesn’t necessarily mean he’s fallen! Search... let’s continue searching... For some reason, I always feel that the events surrounding Antarctica Island and Bamboo Island are not so simple."
