Chapter 165 Chapter 165 - Can't Fly
As Aiden and Wu Lan got out of their house, they could see the four generals waiting for them and behind were at least two hundred cultivators waiting for their orders.
Before Aiden could say anything, Wu Lan who was right beside him acted first.
"Why are you standing? Bow down," she shouted angrily, not happy that no one here was showing any kind of respect toward Li Fend, their Sect Leader.
As she said everyone started to bow down as fast as they could since they were all scared of the possible acts against them.
However, Aiden who was right beside her, didn't think that it mattered all that much, but he still let her do as she wished as he was still playing his role as an indifferent leader.
Then, it seemed that Wu Lan wasn't finished as she would be announcing her plan to all of them at the same time.
It was a plan that she had thought of earlier today when Li Feng had asked for her help, so she simply couldn't refuse and immediately went to work.
"Alright, now everyone listens to me!" she shouted as loudly as she could.
Everyone who was looking at the ground only nodded when hearing her voice, showing that they were all listening to her.
"We will ambush them tonight, they were probably thinking that we wouldn't do so as we have never done it before. This is our chance to overwhelm the enemy, let's show them how much better we are," said Wu Lan, finishing her speech.
Aiden, who listened to her, nodded agreeing with everything that she had said, he also trusted her judgement as he couldn't say anything to contradict as he knew a lot less than her.
"Everyone stand up and fly to the east, we will kill right there," shouted Wu Lan, as she started flying in the air first.
Aiden who just heard that they were going there by flying was panicking a little as it seemed that flying was a normal skill for everyone in this world.
So, why could he, who was in the body of the strongest cultivator, not able to fly?
What was he missing in particular?
Aiden had no idea, but this time he wouldn't be able to make everyone walk. He needed to find out how to fly and fast.
When he saw that everyone in front of him had started flying, he looked at the actions that they were doing as he needed to figure it out without asking how anyone.
Maybe he should have asked Wu Lan about how to earlier, but it was too late for that.
Aiden was also sure that Wu Lan would have told him without thinking about the reasons for him to do so.
But now this was actually a crucial moment as the Sect Leader was supposed to know how to fly and if everyone else could do it, then why couldn't he?
So, he concentrated on the movement of those who just started flying up.
He noticed that they weren't trying to jump up, but instead, they did the complete opposite as they seemed to take support from the ground slowly crouching and then by pure magic they started flying.
Aiden started to do the same exact as them, as he bent his knees a little and then he waited... but nothing happened.
He was now not moving and if one were to look at him right now, they would think that he was currently shitting himself.
Wu Lan who was in the air saw this and couldn't understand what was happening. Why was her husband not able to fly?
She didn't know what happened to him, but it's true that she had found him weird today. However, she didn't question because of his performance in bed which had convinced her that this wasn't an impostor at all.
So, the first thought that went to her mind was that he was hurt. It had been the reason why he wasn't able to.
Landing right beside him, she whispered to him.
"Are you okay? Do you need help?"
'Why are you asking me that, of course, I need help,' thought Aiden, as he thought that it was quite obvious that he needed help.
"Yes, how can I fly?" whispered back Aiden.
He wondered if she would be questioning his identity or something similar, but she didn't do any of that as she simply told him how.
"Circulate your Qi in your feet and then explode upwards, then maintain it under your feet," explained Wu Lan using words that Aiden had no idea the meaning of.
'What even is this Qi that she's talking about?' thought Aiden, however, he didn't ask what it was as he tried as much as he could concentrate inside of him, trying to find a new energy inside his.
Even if he was impersonating Li Feng, when he concentrated, he once again saw the chains that were inside him, waiting to be fully unlocked.
There were many things inside those chains and one gray energy seemed to want to out. Aiden concentrated on it and tried to use it or guide it out of those chains.
But, the gray seemed stuck behind those chains, there seem to be no way of unlocking it.
Then, out of nowhere, he felt small hits on his back in certain spots which were coming from Wu Lan, which this time had an expression of confusion.
'Why were his pores all locked?' she thought, not understanding how that was possible.
He was supposed to be the strongest cultivator here, so why were his pores that circulate Qi blocked?
That was why she had hit on his back in certain spots as she wanted to unlock his Qi pathway.
However, even after unlocking them, there was still no Qi that was going through it. They were empty it seemed.
Aiden who was fully concentrating on that gray energy inside his body started seeing it budge a little, it seemed that something had changed.
