Chapter 57: Falling Together (1/2)

Bai Zhou arrived!

Her speed was so fast that her figure was almost unrecognizable, and even a streak of golden light mixed with the white glow!

Even though Yao Xin was a Core Formation realm cultivator, it was difficult to react, and she was struck hard in the back by Bai Zhou!

Bai Zhou’s injuries had just healed, and in order to avoid attracting human attention, she suppressed her bloodline.

However, even so, with her strong bloodline and Constitution, she could still clash with a Core Formation realm cultivator!

Yao Xin’s eyes widened in shock, and her body uncontrollably lunged forward, a sweet taste filling her mouth as she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood!

In front of her was Ning Wuxie, who held a star and was charging a punch filled with spiritual power!

Bang!

In a combination attack, Yao Xin, already heavily injured, had no time to defend and was immediately sent tumbling through the air, crashing to the ground.

Ning Wuxie showed no hesitation; after throwing the punch, the flying sword instantly returned to her hand, and she raised the sword to stab down!

But just as the sword tip was about to strike, Yao Xin suddenly threw out a pill from her arms.

The pill collided with the blade of Ning Wuxie’s sword, instantly being cut in half, but then, a chain of lightning suddenly appeared between the two halves of the pill, slicing towards Ning Wuxie’s neck!

Ning Wuxie was startled and could only throw away the sword, raising her hand to swipe it away. This small hidden weapon was merely concealed, and blocking it was still simple.

But in that instant, Yao Xin, who had been lying on the ground, had already vanished without a trace.

“The mission isn’t complete; you can’t escape, kid!”

A voice filled with anger and resentment echoed from outside the door.

Yao Xin actually escaped!

Yet Bai Zhou stood at the door, allowing Yao Xin to slip away in that brief moment without making a move to chase.

“Bai Zhou, what are you waiting for? Go chase her!”

“Chase your grandpa! The Flying Boat is about to crash!” Bai Zhou remained unmoved and shouted instead.

“Ah?!” Ning Wuxie was taken aback.

The Flying Boat was about to crash?!

“Otherwise, why do you think that old man who loves to meddle isn’t coming?!”

“That assassin destroyed the Flying Boat’s power system and came to assassinate us! That old man is currently working with all the Confucian Sect disciples to maintain the Flying Boat’s operation; otherwise, if the Flying Boat crashes, those low-grade cultivators without flying celestial treasures will all die!”

Ning Wuxie’s eyes widened in shock.

Low-grade cultivators without flying celestial treasures—wasn’t that himself?!

After obtaining spirit stones, it was thought that there would be no need to venture far alone, and thus, no flying celestial treasures were bought immediately.

Who would have expected to encounter such a situation at this moment?!

“What about them? They should be able to stabilize it, right?!”

“They should still be fine. With so many Confucian Sect disciples and that old man around, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Bai Zhou nodded and said.

Ning Wuxie listened and was about to breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, a loud explosion echoed from the direction of the Flying Boat’s deck!

“…It should be quite critical now.”

Ning Wuxie picked up Xuan’er and rushed onto the deck, where cultivators were continuously using flying celestial treasures to operate the Flying Boat, while others crowded on the deck, panicking and screaming.

Some humans even fought fiercely, just to seize another human’s flying celestial treasures!

It was no joke; this was thousands of meters in the air, and unless one was a celestial realm cultivator, falling from here would mean certain death!

Yao Xin had taken advantage of the chaos to trigger an explosion at the front of the Flying Boat and then flew away!

The entire Flying Boat began to tilt gradually, with thick black smoke billowing from the tail, and it looked like it was about to explode completely!

The scene on the deck turned into a hell on earth, with cultivators fighting over celestial treasures or huddling in corners, crying uncontrollably.

“Bai Zhou, can you fly?” Ning Wuxie steadied herself and slowly asked.

“I can, but I can’t carry both of you humans.”

“You must be able to carry us! If Brother doesn’t make it, I… I…”

Xuan’er hurriedly shouted, her voice trembling, and tears already welled up in her eyes.

When Ning Wuxie asked this question, a bad feeling arose in her heart.

This time, it might really be dangerous.

“Miss… then I will do my best.” Bai Zhou said, showing a hint of difficulty.

“It’s not that I don’t want to save him, but I am still in my juvenile phase and can only fly myself; I really can’t carry both of you…”

She whispered in distress, but seeing Xuan’er’s terrified and sorrowful expression, she didn’t dare to say more.

“No worries, no worries.”

Ning Wuxie patted Xuan’er’s head, bent down to let her hug her, and turned to the edge of the Flying Boat to jump off.
