Chapter 504 - The border lands of the capital of Er kingdom

Chapter 497

/*unedited*/

It was the next day when a large floating warship slows down and descended from the skies towards a tall platform. Along with this ordinary-looking warship are many other floating sh.i.p.s of different sizes and kinds also trying to dock at the platform on the wall.

Some of the sh.i.p.s are twice as big as the warship's size hence, the huge warship was not that conspicuous.

As it lowers its altitude the people inside the ship can now see a long and almost endless black wall which is the borders of the capital city of Er. At the top of these walls are a line of long mounted cannons and many soldiers patrolling roundabout.

"We have arrived this quickly!" Song Xie happily exclaimed as she looks at the horizon.

"My prince, I think it's better if you go inside and let us take care of everything." One of the soldiers said.

The soldier's words made Song Xie frowns as she once again remembers the background of her longtime friend in school. Although Deming Er has already asked for her forgiveness, and she sad that she is not angry anymore, but being reminded that she has been lied to for a very long time, she felt a bit displeased.

Seeing the woman he likes suddenly frowning. Deming Er glared at that guard trying to scold him in his mind. The guard seems to have detected the glare of the prince and showed a sheepish smile on his face. The captain on the side also glared at him for not being careful.

Everyone saw how the prince tried to coax the beauty just to forgive him for hiding his identity, and after almost a day of coaxing and pestering did she gave up and forgave him. Hence the friendship between the two was mended. However, now it seems that beauty once again remembers everything.

"Song Xie… it's…" Deming Er wanted to explain, but saw that Song Xie's expression changed.

"It's okay, I already forgave you, right? Let's just forget about it. Just don't hide anything from me from now on, alright?" she said with a gentle voice.

Hearing her words, the heart of Deming Er felt like melting into a puddle. He was truly touched that his Song Xie would forgive him. Hence he immediately felt elated seemingly forgetting what he has planned to do to the guard who is now hiding with the crowd.

Meanwhile, a beautiful woman slowly walks out to the deck wearing a thin white silky gown which made her look like an immortal from the heavens.

When Sog Xie saw the gorgeous woman, she felt elated and immediately ran towards her.

"Master! We've arrived…" Song Xie said with excitement in her tone.

"Where is Master Ji?" Yao Mai immediately asked while her eyes are already roaming the ship's deck.

In truth, she has tried to use her spiritual sense, but she found that she can't. As she has forcefully used her domain she is still suffering from its heavy backlash. Hence she didn't have a choice but to go out and look for him.

She didn't know why she wanted to see the guy, or why she is looking for him, it was just her reaction or somewhat expectation.

"Master, why are you looking for Master Ji?" Song Xie asked with a glint of cleverness in her eyes.

Back then when she arrived in her master's room, she discovers that her master is talking with Master Ji passionately. She has never seen her master showing a happy expression while explaining ever since she became her disciple. Plus her master would almost always show a serious expression whenever she is with a man. Hence it was her first time seeing her like that.

Hence she is thinking that her master, at last, reached the part where it's time for her to blossom like a flower. Though her master is not old, she is not that young either, so maybe it is time for her to find someone to share her long life with.

Yao Mai turned silent and felt a little flushed when she saw the teasing expression on her disciple's eyes. This made her unable to say anything and just silently ignored the playful little girl and walks towards the port of the ship.

However, a guard suddenly ran towards them.

"Prince there is huge trouble approaching!…" shouted the guard as he pointed at the starboard side of the ship.

When all of the people followed his gaze they all saw a huge number of the flying beast coming towards the sh.i.p.s docking at the wall.

"All hands on deck prepare for battle!" shouted the guard captain.

The prince and the two women behind him also prepare and took out their weapons. However, once Yao Mai wanted to use her spiritual Qi to access her spatial tool, she felt a pang of pain in her head and almost fell down.

Luckily Song Xie caught her and supported her.

"Master, you're still not well, you have to go inside. We will take care of everything here."

"Yes, teacher Mai. I promise to protect Song, so don't worry too much."

Yao Mai didn't want to go inside the ship, but she also didn't want to be a burden to the people, hence she didn't have any choice but to go inside.

In truth, these kinds of events is already a normal occurrence in these parts of the land, hence the people here have mixed emotion when this happens. Some are excited, and some are scared, while others just wanted to be onlookers.

Meanwhile, inside one of the rooms in the ship, Shin Jiao is still sitting in a lotus position and concentrating on trying to condense his absolute sense.

It has already taken him many hours, but still, he is unsuccessful in doing so. But of course, he didn't give up. What he discovered at this time is that, wherever he condenses his absolute sense, he can feel a seemingly tangible force all around his body.

It was as if air, but not air… water, but not water… it's a soft feeling that he almost could not describe which seems to make his body feel warm and cold at the same time.

This interesting phenomenon made Shin Jiao feel an excited shiver run down his spine making him smile with contentment.

After so many hours, he still didn't stop.

"Okay, that's it… if just have to persevere and be patient." He muttered as he once again tried to spread his absolute sense.

However, something happened this time, something that he never expected to happen.

His spiritual sense woke up.

It was as if, the act of compressing and extending his absolute sense triggered something deep in his consciousness and made his spiritual sense suddenly activates.

And this incident made Shin Jiao immediately felt a sharp pain in his head and body as his spiritual sense forcefully spreads forth in a wide area. It was as if a wave of explosion happened in the middle that pushes everything outwards.

100 meters… 500 meters… 1 kilometer… 5 kilometers… 10 kilometers… 20 kilometers…

The further his spiritual sense spreads the greater the pain he felt in his consciousness. Shin Jiao immediately fell to the ground as he desperately struggles to find his bearing. He knew that if his spiritual sense spreading didn't stop, his mind will blow up and he would be turned into a fool or worst, a vegetable.

In his desperation and in pain, Shin Jiao began controlling his spiritual sense and tries to compress it little by little. Beads of sweat began forming on his forehead and the floor which he is currently laying is now slowly forming a puddle of water from his sweat.

Shin Jiao didn't give up and worked hard and struggle through the pain of his consciousness being torn and mended at the same time. The torture almost made Shin Jiao fell unconscious, but he didn't dare give up. He knew what would happen if he became unconscious…

Meanwhile, outside the ship, thousands of flying beast has now reached the area and began attacking the slowly docking sh.i.p.s on the wall.

Hundreds of Qi cannons have been fired but it seems that they are unable to thin the number of beasts that are currently attacking a wider portion of the wall.

Boom!!!

Roar!!!

Aahh!!!

The sound of the explosion, beast roar, and human cries blended in the air turning everything chaotic.

Many sh.i.p.s with low-grade array as a shield barrier didn't last and were immediately pounced upon by the flying beast. As they break through the deck and destroy the ship's hull while attacking the cultivators inside.

Luckily for Shin Jiao's warship, it has a very strong protective barrier which made it hard for the beast to penetrate. All those who flew near it would be obliterated by its cannon, and those that escaped this would helplessly ram through the sturdy barrier.

However, the beast didn't want to give up and the scene where a single huge warship is being surrounded and attacked by hundreds of beast can be seen and has attracted the attention of the rest of the sh.i.p.s.

Some felt worrier and some felt pity. While others sneered as they saw how strong the barrier of the warship is. Deep in their hearts, they felt jealousy brewing.

However, they soon found out, that no matter how many beasts clings to the warship, it was all in vain. With its sturdy and almost impenetrable barrier, those beasts just died in vain.

But soon the chaotic scene suddenly turned more deadly as high up in the sky a large creature is slowly descending towards the area. Its large eyes are directed towards Shin Jiao's warship. The size of the beast is twice the size of the warship and it looks like one of the huge dragons of the Dragon's Ridge in the Si kingdom.

"This is bad… this is really bad… you must get inside your highness." The captain of the guard upon seeing the huge beast said as he drags the prince and the young woman towards the lower decks.
