Chapter 504: Chapter 466: Arrangement, Return, Visitor

Terrifying black smoke billowed out in all directions.

Watching the black smoke rapidly sweep toward him, alarm bells screamed in Li Qian’s mind.

’This stuff looks incredibly dangerous. I can’t let even a trace of it touch me.’

He immediately ordered his Tidal Sea Spirit and Six-tailed Cat to unleash their Defense Skills at full power.

Water Curtain Celestial Splendor and Spirit Barrier rose in succession, ready to block the aggressively advancing black smoke.

At that critical moment, a translucent ice dome suddenly materialized out of thin air, enveloping him completely.

Li Qian looked at the translucent ice dome that had appeared from nowhere and felt a great sense of relief.

’This must be a Defense Skill from Dean Pan.’

He was clearly helping Li Qian defend against the encroaching black smoke.

After all, this black smoke was the result of a Holy Spirit-level Pet Beast self-destructing.

With Li Qian’s strength alone, there was no guarantee he could have withstood it.

Amidst the billowing black smoke, a small robot with rocket boosters on its feet shot into the sky at extreme speed.

"Pan Bing, I’ll remember this! Our paths will cross again!" a resonant voice boomed from inside the small robot.

The speaker was none other than Lu Yuansong.

His voice was arrogant and defiant.

Dean Pan looked up at the sky, a faint smile touching his lips. ’Our paths will cross again? I don’t think so. We won’t be seeing each other ever again.’

Just as he muttered to himself, several missiles trailing long tongues of fire streaked through the air at a speed nearly invisible to the naked eye, striking the small robot with unerring accuracy.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The small robot was struck by the missiles, and explosions ripped through the air nonstop.

In an instant, the small robot blew apart in mid-air, blooming into a brilliant firework.

As for Lu Yuansong, who had been hiding inside, he couldn’t have been more dead.

"Heh. Did he really think I was completely unprepared?" Dean Pan chuckled. The moment he finished speaking, a massive figure materialized in the sky.

"Master!" The massive figure in the sky spoke in a deep, rumbling voice. As it descended, its true form became clear: it was a giant robot.

Seeing the giant robot, Li Qian had a sudden realization. ’This enormous robot must be Haofang’s true body.’

Haofang’s true body was a Saint Spirit-level Mechanical Pet Beast, so it was only natural for it to possess such power and presence.

"Master, I can no longer detect any other life signs within a one-kilometer radius," the giant robot rumbled as it landed.

"Good work. Go support the fighting elsewhere." Dean Pan smiled and waved his hand. Haofang took to the sky once more, disappearing over the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"Dean Pan, thank you," Li Qian said, walking over to him and offering his heartfelt gratitude.

"What are you thanking me for? If anything, I should be the one thanking you." Dean Pan looked at Li Qian, his eyes full of approval.

"If you hadn’t acted as bait, we never would have caught a big fish like Lu Yuansong." Dean Pan laughed heartily. "After losing an elder like him, the Black Divine Teachings will probably have to lay low for a while."

"Let’s go. Our work here is done. Time to head back to Lingshui City," Dean Pan continued.

The whole reason they had taken an express medical Flying Ship toward Yunlan City was to lure the snake from its hole. Now that the snake was dead, there was no longer any need to waste time on the trip.

With the decision made, it wasn’t long before the Flying Ship integrated with Haofang’s sub-body came rumbling over.

The Flying Ship hovered before them, and they boarded without hesitation.

Inside the Flying Ship, Dean Pan immediately asked, "Haofang, did you manage to find that Cultist who was hiding in the shadows?"

He was referring to the Cultist behind the Mutated Ten Thousand Vines Demon. As for the demon itself, it had surely been annihilated by Haofang’s Sub-Body Robot.

"That person isn’t nearby. They were controlling the Mutated Ten Thousand Vines Demon remotely," Haofang’s Sub-Body Robot reported from within the Flying Ship’s cabin.

"Nothing to be done, then. We’ll just have to see if Director Zhong’s side had any luck." Dean Pan shook his head, a little resigned.

He would have preferred to deal with all the enemies, of course, but that was just the ideal scenario.

With such a large-scale encirclement, it was inevitable that a few would slip through the net.

Piloted by Haofang’s Sub-Body Robot, the Flying Ship wasn’t moving particularly fast. It flew back to Lingshui City at an unhurried pace and landed directly at the Jiaoyang Cultivation Base.

By the time the Flying Ship returned to Lingshui City, the glow of dawn on the horizon was like a fine golden rain, gently showering the land.

Breathing in the crisp morning air as he faced the dawn, Li Qian felt his spirits lift considerably.

When they returned to the base, his father, Li Chengyang, had already arranged for them to enjoy a good breakfast after their long night.

In truth, his father, Li Chengyang, and the other staff members at the base had all been worried about Li Qian going out overnight on the hunt.

Even with Dean Pan accompanying him, they couldn’t help but worry. Now, seeing Li Qian and the Dean return safe and sound, Li Chengyang could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
