The air around the crack was distorted and deformed, as if something was struggling, howling, and roaring within the crack.
That is the void passage that leads to the secret realm.
Wu Yuan stood at the bow of the ship, staring at the crack, fiery light radiating from his golden-red eyes.
“Mr. Chen, that is an empty passage.”
His voice was filled with unstoppable excitement, “The Void Merchant Guild has tried many times but always failed. Today, everything depends on Master Chen.”
David nodded, his purple eyes fixed on the crack, feeling the spatial power flowing from it.
The power was immense, chaotic, and filled with an aura of destruction.
If a cultivator below the third rank of the Golden Immortal realm entered the region, they would indeed be torn apart.
However, the chaotic power it possessed could suppress all elements, including spatial power.
It shouldn’t be difficult for him to get through this gap.
The airship stopped dozens of miles away from the pass.
That doesn’t mean we can’t get closer, but we can’t get any closer.
The space around the gap was extremely unstable. If the spaceship approached, it would be swept into the gap by the spatial turbulence, and everyone on board would die.
“Mr. Chen, you have to rely on yourself for the rest of your life.”
Wu Yuan turned to David, a complex expression flashing in his golden red eyes. “I will wait here for the good news from Mr. Chen.”
David nodded and was about to jump off the airplane when suddenly he heard Su Jingqiu’s voice.
“President, someone is stalking us.”
Wu Yuan’s face immediately turned cold.
He turned around suddenly, his gaze sharp as lightning, sweeping towards the rear of the airship.
Hundreds of miles away, several black seaplanes emerged from the clouds and flew towards them.
There were no markings on the airship, but runes of golden holy light flowed on its hull—the mark of the gods.
People of the gods.
A deadly glint flashed across Wu Yuan’s eyes as he gently rubbed the whisk, producing a soft creaking sound.
“How many people?” His voice was ice cold.
Su Jingqiu closed his eyes, spread out his divine consciousness, and opened them a moment later, his expression somewhat gloomy.
“Five flying boats, each carrying about fifty people. The highest cultivation level is Gold Immortal Tier 4, two of them are Gold Immortal Tier 3, and the rest are Gold Immortal Tier 1 and 2.”
Wu Yuan’s lips curled into a cold smile.
“The gods don’t want us to live life easily.”
His voice was soft, but every word was like a knife cutting through the air: “How did they know we would come here?”
No one can answer that.
But everyone knew the answer: there was a spy in the Void Merchant Guild.
Wu Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and turned to look at Su Jingqiu.
“Jingqiu, lead the team and intercept them.”
Su Jingqiu’s body was slightly stiff, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Of the fifty people, the highest cultivation level was the fourth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, two people were at the third rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, and the rest were at the first and second ranks of the Golden Immortal Realm.
The group he led, including himself, only consisted of around a dozen people, with him being the strongest among them, a level three Gold Immortal.
This wasn’t an ambush; this is suicide.
But he didn’t refuse.
He was the vice president of the Void Merchant Guild, and his job was to carry out the president’s orders.
“Yes.” Su Jingqiu’s voice was very calm, so calm that no emotions could be detected.
He turned towards the dozen or so Void Merchant Guild cultivators behind him, “Follow me.”
More than a dozen people jumped off the seaplane simultaneously, their silver-white armor glinting dazzlingly under the sunlight.
They formed a battle formation in the air and flew towards the black airship.
As Wu Yuan watched Su Jingqiu’s retreating figure, a complex expression flashed across his golden red eyes.
But in an instant, he returned to calm.
He turned to David, a smile returned to his face, as if nothing had happened.
“Mr. Chen, there are some minor matters that Jingqiu can handle. Let’s settle these matters first.”
David watched Su Jingqiu’s leaving figure, a glimmer of emotion flashed in his purple eyes.
A dozen or so people against fifty.
The highest cultivation level was only at the third rank of the Golden Immortal Realm, while the opponent was at the fourth rank of the Golden Immortal Realm.
How do we fight this?
But he didn’t say anything.
This was the Void Merchant Guild’s business, not his.
He jumped off the flying boat and flew towards the void crack.
Chaotic purple energy swirled around him, shrouding him in purple light.
Spatial turbulence raged around him, but it was all neutralized by the power of chaos and could not harm him.
He flew towards the gap, stopping, or rather, stopping in mid-air.
The spatial power radiating from the crack was several times stronger than that which could be felt from the outside. Black spatial turbulence churned wildly within the rift, like an angry black dragon roaring, tearing, and trying to crush the intruder into pieces.
David took a deep breath and stepped into the gap.
Behind him, on the seaplane, Wu Yuan watched David’s figure disappear into the gap, a flash of light radiating from his golden red eyes.
“David, I hope you can survive.”
He muttered to himself, his smile growing wider, “You’re only valuable if you survive. If you die then you have nothing.”
His gaze shifted from the crack to the distance.
There, Su Jingqiu led a dozen people towards the five Divine Race flying ships.
The silver-white armor and golden holy light collided in the air, producing a deafening roar.
Wu Yuan watched the battle he was destined to lose, his eyes were emotionless, as if he was watching a battle that had nothing to do with him.
“Jingqiu, don’t blame me.” Her voice was very soft, so soft that only he could hear it. “The interests of the Void Merchant Guild are paramount.”
