Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Boom boom!!

A series of booming sounds rang out as Old Master Nie’s spirit energy ship set off once again. However, this time, the ship was filled with cultivators.

Each of them was emitting a powerful aura. Each of them carried heroic and resolute morale as they flew towards the junction between the northern region and the Central Plains.

On the bow of the ship, the elders gathered again, but there were two less people now.

“Why didn’t Old Ghost Xuan and Old Ghost Tang come?”

Ji Tongtian had sent out a notice to the entire great desolate region. Logically speaking, those people would have more or less brought people here if they knew the cause of the matter.

Why did they disappear completely this time?

Who knew that Ji Tongtian’s expression was a little gloomy as he slowly opened his mouth to speak.

“The Sword Pavilion’s leader, Xuan Mingzi, had lost contact with us a few days ago. I’ve sent people to the Sword Pavilion in the southern region to inquire about it, but I didn’t receive any reply. Furthermore, the Sword Pavilion is a little desolate now. Many disciples of the Sword Pavilion have left the place.”

“Damn it! Only that old fool Xuan Mingzi would do such a thing!” Xu Que said angrily.

He had come here with the spirit of sacrificing his life for justice. When he heard the disappearance of Xuan Mingzi from the sword pavilion, Xu Que suddenly thought of something.

Seeing Xu Que’s look, the elders looked at him and elder Nie asked.

“Old Man Yu, do you know something?”

“Yes.”

Xu Que replied indignantly. Then, Xu Que started to talk about the secrets of the aristocratic families.

“Among the families and sects in the central sky region, they all have a way to escape when things get messy. I think Xuan Mingzi went to the central sky region through this secret way out. In other words, he abandoned the great desolate region.”

At this point, Xu Que’s chest heaved up and down. He was not a good-tempered person. Hearing that someone had escaped, it was normal for him to be angry. However, he could not blame others. After all, this was a matter of personal character.

In the cultivation world, there were still many cultivators with trash character.

When some elders who did not have any faction backing them heard this, they all nodded their heads. So there was actually such a way out.

At this point, Old Man Nie spoke to Xu Que in a mocking tone.

“Old geezer, I remember that the faction backing your Xu family is at the central sky region. It’s not small, right? Why? You don’t have a way out as well?”

“Get lost! Old Nie, are you making fun of me? I, Xu Que, am not the kind of person who is afraid of death. Although I am a bit dim-witted, I still know the importance of justice.”

Xu Que waved his hand and could not be bothered with Old Nie’s sarcasm. He replied with a serious face.

Seeing Xu Que’s sarcasm, all the elders smiled. The heavy atmosphere became much more lively.

The flying ship passed through the layers of clouds and sailed quickly. The huge spell covered the entire ship and it was operating at a high speed.

After a while, they finally left the territory of the Central Plains and entered the border of the northern region.

Under the flying ship was a desolate place. The mountain range was endless like a natural barrier. However, everyone knew that.

With the strength of the demon beasts, it would only take half a day to cross such a mountain range. At this time, they could see the movement on the ground from afar.

“F*ck, everyone! Look at the sky full of dust!” A cultivator pointed to the ground and shouted.

In the direction that the cultivator pointed to, on a desolate mountain range, yellow dust soared into the sky, making it impossible to see what was happening. However, everyone knew that it was the scene of the beast tide.

The demon beast tide was like a swarm of locusts, everywhere it went was a mess. Under the dust, there was only the churning up of the desolate land, the so-called trees, grass, plants… It all turned into a mess under the claws of the demon beast.

“Is it coming…”

Old Master Nie stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the incoming Beast Tide with narrowed eyes. He did not see the venerable single dragon in the air. Could it be that the venerable single dragon was on the ground?

Hence, he turned around and shouted at the cultivators.

“Everyone, the flying ship will descend to a certain height. You can go down and kill the beast tide. If you are not strong enough, quickly return to the ship to recuperate. We will accompany these demon beasts to have fun in this mountain range.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Old Master Nie meant. This was guerilla warfare.

The strength of their cultivators was much stronger than that of demon beasts of the same realm. At the very least, they would be able to fight ten demon beasts with their full strength.

After the eruption, they returned to the spirit energy ship to recuperate and rest. After they recovered, another wave of explosions occurred.

This way, not only would they be able to stop the advancing speed of the Beast Tide, but they would also be able to continuously eliminate the demon beasts in a relatively safe situation. However, this was only a relatively long battle.

With the spirit energy ship as their aerial advantage, what the cultivators needed to consider were spirit stones, medicinal pills, and such supplies. They would be in an invincible position.

Right at this moment, grandfather Nie looked at the other elders and nodded. The other elders understood and knew what they should do.

The Lu clan elder waved his hand and spoke with a high voice, “come over a dozen experts! Follow me to battle the beast tide!”

“Okay!”

As soon as he finished his words, more than ten cultivators stood up and followed the old man from the Lu family who had descended to a height of 20 to 30 meters above the ground.

At the same time, the old men from the other aristocratic families also led some cultivators to jump off the flying ship and prepare to welcome the beast tide.

Finally, on the spirit energy flying ship, only Old Man Nie, Xu Que, Ji Tongtian, Lin Yan, and Su Yi were on it.

Patriarch Nie called Ji Tongtian over and handed over the control of the flying ship to Ji Tongtian. For others, the most trustworthy person was City Lord Ji.

After all, the position of city lord was determined by heaven. If something happened in the great desolate, Ji Tongtian would not be able to survive.

“City Lord Ji, this flying ship is in your hands. We will leave now.”

Hearing this, Ji Tongtian nodded his head heavily, showing great respect to the elders in his eyes.

He knew that the other party was going to deal with the Venerable Lone Dragon of the demon race, and it was very likely that he would never return.

“Seniors, take care!”

Ji Tongtian’s words were very solemn. Then, Ji Tongtian looked at Su Yi by the side, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes.

Who would have thought that the kid, who was not even as strong as him back then, would be able to stand on equal footing with these old seniors in the blink of an eye?

“Su Yi, you take care too.”

City Lord Ji said in a low voice. When Su Yi heard that, he looked at City Lord Ji with a faint smile and did not say anything.

“Let’s go, Su Yi. Let’s go meet that Lone Dragon again.”

Old Master Nie’s entire body was emitting terrifying fluctuations. His entire body was covered with top-grade magic treasures. Similarly, Lin Yan and Xu Que were also wearing these top-grade magic treasures.

Only in this way would they be able to pull in the strength of the Venerable Lone Dragon.

As for what would happen if the other party could fly, that would be left to Su Yi. His strange movement techniques could make up for the reason why they could not fight in the air.

In the beast tide, the Venerable Lone Dragon sat on a huge rhinoceros demon beast, crossing his legs and looking at the flying ship that had landed in the air from afar.

A trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth as he said with a sinister tone.

“Spirit energy ship, huh, interesting.”
