Dark Blade’s spiritual power was dark and cold, its aura fierce and sharp, and surrounded by murderous energy. He is adept at melee attacks, assassinations, and penetrating defenses. His killing methods were merciless and cruel.
The moon’s spiritual power is warm, gentle, calm, and long-lasting, with calm and controlled fluctuations. This power tends towards defense, formation, and healing, and is both offensive and defensive.
The two, one offensive and one supportive, one firm and one gentle, worked together perfectly, according to the information previously provided by Wu Heng.
After a brief stalemate, Dark Blade was the first to break the silence.
His thin lips were slightly parted, his voice was cold and flat, without the slightest change in emotion, like a grain of ice hitting a cold stone, emitting a bone-chilling chill.
Let’s go.
After saying that word, he said no more, and did not wait. He turned around and stepped out of the stone tower.
His footsteps were steady and quick, his black silhouette blending into the white morning mist, firm and indifferent.
Lingyue pursed her lips slightly and nodded gently to Guiyuanzi, her movements were gentle and smooth, without saying a word.
His slender, pale fingers gently grasped the egg beater hanging limply by his side. He followed An Dao closely, walking slowly forward. Her pure white skirt swept away the light mist on the ground, without leaving behind a single speck of dust.
Gui Yuanzi stood still, watching the two figures walk away from each other. With the jade bottle pressed against his chest, he could clearly feel the faint and warm divine soul aura within.
He slowly exhaled an overflowing breath of relief, suppressed the wariness and anxiety surging in his heart, concealed the complex emotions in his eyes, and then stepped out following the two.
The three remained silent throughout the journey, not exchanging a single word.
The morning mist enveloped three figures—one in black, one in white, and one in blue—their colors were different, creating a gloomy and eerie atmosphere. The bluestone pavement beneath their feet felt cold and damp; their footsteps were soft and slow, dissolving into the stillness of the morning.
The three of them walked along the long empty road, heading towards the city gate in the south of Tianque City.
Arriving at the gate of the stone tower, a beautiful flying artifact was already waiting on the empty stone platform.
It was a flying boat pulled by spirit birds, made entirely of thousand-year-old spirit wood, with an exterior that was pure white like jade. The boat’s hull was smooth and simple, without any complicated carvings, and the surface was engraved with dense silver runes.
The runes were hidden within the wood grain, their spiritual light restrained, and they emitted a faint, shimmering white spiritual energy.
Two snow-white long-winged cloud-feathered spirit birds were tied to the front of the flying boat. Those spirit birds had clear eyes and were full of spirituality. They were surrounded by a thin wind elemental spiritual power and were the key to controlling the flying boat and hovering in the air.
This aircraft flies very fast and rides smoothly, and is able to withstand strong winds at high altitudes, making it a superior flying tool for long-distance travel.
An Dao was the first to jump onto the seaplane, landing as silently and steady as a rock.
He walked straight to the control position at the bow of the ship, sat down cross-legged, and quickly formed hand seals with his fingertips, channeling his spiritual power into the flying ship’s runes.
Lingyue followed closely, her figure light and graceful, like a falling flower landing in a corner behind the flying boat. He sat quietly, his whisk resting lightly on his knees, his eyes closed gently, calming his mind and focusing his spirit.
Gui Yuanzi finally boarded the flying boat, his blue Daoist robe fluttering slightly in the morning breeze.
He deliberately chose to sit on the edge of the boat, leaning against the cold railing, his gaze fixed on the faint outline of the city in the distance. The jade bottle in his heart remained warm, constantly reminding him of the mission he carried out on this journey.
A moment later, a faint white light radiated from the runes on the flying boat, and gentle spiritual energy lifted the boat, slowly lifting it off the ground.
Two cloud-feathered spirit birds flapped their wings and flew, emitting two clear bird chirping sounds. Then, they pulled the flying boat and flew steadily towards the gate of Tianque City.
The seaplane passed through the tall city gate, completely leaving Tianque City’s jurisdiction.
Outside the city, the wilderness was covered in frost, white mist filled the air, and few people could be seen.
An Dao’s eyes turned cold, his fingertips suddenly changed hand seals, and his spiritual power increased drastically.
Buzzing-
The runes on the hull suddenly shone brightly, and a dazzling silver light flashed and then disappeared.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the seaplane broke through the white mist and penetrated the high-altitude air currents, speeding towards the vast mountains in the eastern part of the Northern Region.
The sound of something breaking through the air was low and short, and was instantly dissipated by the strong wind at high altitude.
In the high sky, piercing winds howled and clouds swirled.
The airplane headed east, passing through layers of clouds.
The mountains and rivers below disappeared quickly, the verdant peaks, meandering rivers, villages and towns all turned into blurry blocks of color, flashing by quickly.
The airflow hissed and hit the hull, but it was completely blocked by the spiritual energy barrier on the surface, and the interior of the ship remained calm and undisturbed.
The atmosphere on the ship remained dead silent and tense; no one spoke.
