A God-tier Counter-damage Priest, I am the Master!

197: Liao Fan and Yan Xue are missing (Part 2)When Bai Tian and Jiang Yuebai arrived at the first line of defense where the military soldiers had retreated, several officers eagerly came forward, their eyes revealing admiration for the two of them.

”Greetings, Inspection Team Leaders!” they said in unison.

Jiang Yuebai politely returned their salute, then asked, ”During the time we’ve been inside, have you seen these two members of the Inspection Team come out?”

As he spoke, he took out photos of Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue and showed them to everyone.

After examining the photos carefully, the officers answered definitively, ”No, no one has left the line of defense during this period.”

Hearing this clear reply, Bai Tian’s heart sank a little further.

He turned to Jiang Yuebai and whispered, ”Moon White, go back to the Military Headquarters and check the situation.”

”I’ll go check the villa area.”

Bai Tian added, simultaneously speaking to Jiang Yuebai in a secretive tone, ”If we still can’t find them, perhaps we can try logging into [Nine Heavens] to search for their whereabouts.”

Bai Tian always had a premonition that the strange disappearance of Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue was likely related to the previous Black Hole and Blood Mist Incidents.

He guessed that clues regarding their whereabouts might be found within the game.

Jiang Yuebai nodded in agreement, and the two immediately split up.

Bai Tian quickly returned to the villa area, only to see that the previous villa had been reduced to ruins because of Liao Fan.

He owned several villas, some of which were provided for his and Liao Fan’s families to live in.

Bai Tian first went to the villa where Liao Fan’s family lived, but found no trace of Liao Fan.

He tried calling his younger sister to inquire, learning that Liao Fan had not contacted his family.

When Bai Tian approached the vicinity of his mother’s villa, still five hundred meters away, a sharp, youthful figure suddenly appeared.

This person was Ling Feng, the Grandmaster-level expert gifted to Bai Tian by the Undefeated Monarch.

Ling Feng was indeed worthy of being a Grandmaster-level figure; he immediately sensed Bai Tian’s arrival.

At the same time, he keenly felt that Bai Tian seemed different from when they last met.

Upon meeting this time, Ling Feng, relying on a Martial Artist’s innate perception, vaguely felt that Bai Tian’s strength had become unfathomable.

”Thank you for your hard work.”

Bai Tian nodded to Ling Feng, very satisfied with his performance.

To be able to detect his arrival when he was still five hundred meters away, Ling Feng’s strength was truly extraordinary.

Ling Feng shook his head slightly, his tone calm: ”This is my duty.”

Bai Tian lightly patted his shoulder.

Afterward, he went to his father’s villa and glanced at it from afar.

His parents had each started new families, and they hadn’t even realized that their move here was all carefully arranged by Bai Tian.

After confirming his parents were safe, Bai Tian quietly left and immediately called Jiang Yuebai.

However, the news he received was disappointing; there was still no trace of Liao Fan or Liu Yanxue.

But Jiang Yuebai informed him over the phone, ”I’m sending you a coordinate; go to that location.”

She explained, ”That is the new base I prepared for the four of us, equipped with four complete sets of [Nine Heavens] login devices.”

”The entry code is 58568. Log into the game first; I will follow shortly.”

He had to admire Jiang Yuebai’s foresight; after the villa was burned down by Liao Fan, she had already planned for what came next.

Following the address provided by Jiang Yuebai, Bai Tian quickly arrived at a house in an Urban Village with a quiet environment.

Although the exterior looked slightly old, the interior decoration was quite elegant.

After entering the electronic password, Bai Tian entered the house and walked straight to the room prepared for him.

Due to the tight schedule, the [Nine Heavens] Game Login Pod had not yet arrived, but the Game Login Helmet was ready.

Bai Tian quickly verified the information, put on the helmet, and began connecting to the game.

This was a brand new Game Login Helmet, equivalent to changing devices, so he went through another verification process.

After more than a minute of verification, Bai Tian finally logged in successfully.

—”(Ding-dong)”

The system prompt sounded.

”(Welcome back to [Nine Heavens]! Your new login device has been bound. We wish you a pleasant game!)”

The first thing Bai Tian did after logging in was open his friends list, and a look of joy immediately appeared on his face.

He found that Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue’s avatars showed they were online, meaning they were truly in the game.

However, the status of the two was quite strange; their icons showed their friends were in — ”Unknown Foreign Territory”!

Moreover, Liao Fan and Liu Yanxue had already sent him messages half an hour ago.

Bai Tian first opened the voice message sent by Liao Fan.

”Holy crap! Bai Tian, I f*cking stepped on a small Black Hole and entered the Otherworld Blood Domain.”

”Damn it! The System says I can’t return or log off temporarily; I need to find some new Spatial Node to get back.”

”The System also f*cking said that if I get killed by someone from the Blood Domain here, I will truly die.”

”This is bullshit! Bai Tian, find a way to save me.”

”Oh my god, the damn System says I’m in a Foreign Territory and can only send five messages every 48 hours to friends in a different domain...”

Sure enough, Liao Fan had only sent five voice messages and then went silent.

Bai Tian attempted to send a voice message to Liao Fan.

A system prompt immediately rang in his ear!

”(Your friend is not in the same Domain Boundary as you. Cross-domain Contact is limited to five opportunities every 48 hours.)”

Five opportunities?

Bai Tian was startled and immediately began organizing his words so as not to waste this precious opportunity.

”I have received your message. Don’t worry, your family is safe and well.”

He had originally wanted to include more content in a single message, but the System had a mandatory requirement: once a certain word count was reached, it counted as one message.

Bai Tian had to pause, carefully considering his words before speaking the next sentence, lest he waste this rare chance.

After all, if his guess was correct, this girl Liu Yanxue likely shared the same fate as Liao Fan.

He needed to save some opportunities to reply to her twice later.

Bai Tian continued, ”Yan Xue is likely trapped in the Blood Domain just like you. Moon White and I will do everything we can to find a way to help you return.”

After speaking, Bai Tian checked the message sent by Liu Yanxue.

”Wuwuwu... idol, I’m doomed. I accidentally entered the Otherworld Blood Domain.”

”I’m all alone here, and there are lots of high-level monsters running rampant. I’m so scared.”

”Wuwuwu... The System says dying here means dying for real. idol, you and Huahua, please hurry and save me.”

Sure enough, just like Liao Fan, Liu Yanxue had also gone to an Otherworld.

Although this was bad news, at least Bai Tian knew their whereabouts.

Bai Tian had three remaining opportunities to communicate with friends in the Foreign Territory.

After a brief pause, Bai Tian replied to Liu Yanxue: ”Liao Fan is also trapped in the Otherworld Blood Domain just like you. You must protect yourself and pay attention to your surroundings.”

”Try your best to find a way to meet up with Liao Fan so you two can look out for each other. Moon White and I will definitely do everything we can to help you return as soon as possible.”

After speaking, Bai Tian used his last opportunity to message Liao Fan: ”Can you contact Yan Xue? She is also in the Blood Domain. While ensuring your safety, try to meet up.”

Meanwhile, in the distant Otherworld Blood Domain, Liao Fan was hiding in the grass beside a Waterfall Lake, a sly smile on his face, his gaze revealing a hint of lewdness.

He cautiously peered ahead, where he saw three beautiful, charming Blood Domain Maidens playing freely in the clear lake water, their laughter echoing continuously.
