In the sky.
The airship flew silently.
Libertas leaned against the window, looking at the dark land outside.
"After death, to be able to live in such a peaceful place is actually a blessing in disguise, don't you think?" he said emotionally.
"Fortunately, we didn't land in an area filled with sleepers." Liu Ping said.
He raised his head and glanced around.
Lines of identifiers appeared above the heads of the passengers.
[Normal people]
[Normal people]
[Rank 2 Professionist, Courier Association]
[Normal people]
[Rank 5 Professionist, believer of the Nine-Winged Fallen God]
[Rank 1 Professionist, believer of the Nine-Winged Fallen God]
[Normal people]
[Rank 2 Professionist, believer of the Nine-Winged Fallen God]
[…]
120 passengers.
18 believers.
The number of believers of the Evil God was rapidly increasing.
Perhaps this was because of the speech the Emperor made — —
If there was only one human settlement within a billion square kilometers, it would indeed cause despair in people's hearts.
And religion was the best form of sustenance.
"To be able to land in the Empire is indeed a blessing." Libertas spoke.
"Unfortunately, the youths of the class who died prematurely all died in battle while defending the city." Liu Ping said.
Libertas spoke again.
"I heard that the Empire originally had high hopes for our class …"
"Oh? Did you find out anything? "Liu Ping asked.
"Wanting to gather all of us youths into the Empire's territory isn't a simple matter, I heard that the War Sequence spent a lot of energy on this." Liebertas said.
He shrugged and sighed: "But only 5 people survived, one of them even became a believer of the monster."
Liu Ping nodded.
Seriously speaking, Hua Qingkong and Xiao Mengluo both had extraordinary talents, if they could grow up, they would definitely surpass other Professionists.
Libertas also had abilities that surpassed normal Professionists.
They were still in their teens.
If they were given time and helped to grow — — -
From the looks of it, the Empire actually did gain something.
Libertas stood up and said: "Let's go for a smoke?"
Liu Ping shook his head: "Go ahead."
Libertas turned around and left the cabin.
Liu Ping looked inside the cabin again.
Eighteen believers — —
Riding on the same airship was fate, and it could not be wasted.
He sat there without moving. Suddenly, a saber stretched out from his sleeve and gently slashed at the bottom of the table.
The invisible wind instantly flew out.
The eighteen passengers immediately fell asleep (unconscious).
In an instant, lines of burning words quickly appeared:
[You used Secret Blade – Spring Breeze Slash.]
[You've used 1 Soul Point.]
[As this Blade Technique contains the power Life-Saving Art, you are currently receiving Soul Points:]
[Soul Power + 1.]
[Soul Power + 3.]
[Soul Power + 4.]
[Soul Power + 1.]
[…]
Liu Ping nodded in satisfaction.
Mosquito meat was still meat. As long as there was profit coming in, how could he let it go?
Under his watchful eyes, his Soul Power was rapidly accumulating.
— — I only need one more Soul Point to level up.
At this moment, a soft broadcast sounded.
|"Dear passengers, we will arrive at the Imperial City in an hour."|
One hour.
Soon.
First, he would go to the headquarters and see if he could find a way to get some insect corpses.
While Liu Ping was thinking silently, without any warning —
The airship shook a bit.
Quite a few things fell from the tables and chairs on the ground. Those who were still standing all fell down.
A loud commotion followed.
Everyone was shouting.
From the broadcast, the soft voice sounded again.
|"Dear passengers, we have encountered strong turbulence, please remain seated and do not move."|
Strong turbulence?
Liu Ping scowled a bit.
That feeling just now, why did it feel like it was caused by energy fluctuations and not some kind of strong turbulence …
He casually turned on the screen on the table.
On the screen, the silhouette of the Imperial City appeared. A TV host was madly shouting:
|"Everyone, look, those two attackers are currently hovering above the Imperial City!"|
|"They want to assassinate the Emperor!"|
Deep in the sky behind the TV host, two small black dots silently hovered there.
A female voice resounded through the sky, allowing everyone to hear it clearly:
"Show yourself, esteemed Emperor of the Empire. You are definitely not human, I can sense that."
Nothing happened inside the Imperial City.
Around the Imperial City, more and more soldiers appeared out of thin air, standing in formation to face the enemy.
In the sky.
Another voice chuckled: "We have no ill intentions, we only want to meet you to confirm that you are not the target we are looking for."
Following his voice, countless tree branches appeared out of thin air and wrapped around every soldier.
No matter how much they struggled, they couldn't escape from the branches.
The female voice resounded again: "Come, meet us."
Still nothing happened inside the Imperial City.
After a while, the Emperor's voice slowly sounded:
"Sequence, turn off all communication and surveillance."
"I'll take care of these two guests of unknown origin."
The cold and emotionless voice of the War Sequence sounded: '[Understood!]'
The screen went black.
All communication was cut off.
Libertas hurriedly ran back and shouted: "Not good, Liu Ping!"
Liu Ping looked up.
Only to see Libertas holding a card in his hand.
A line of words was written on the card:
[Either die, or make a forced landing]
Liu Ping asked: "Is this your suggestion card?"
"Yes, it has only been 12 hours, I was a bit worried when the airship was shaking, so I drew one." Libertas breathed heavily.
Liu Ping abruptly stood up and shouted: "Go! To the cockpit! "
Libertas' suggestion card should be a Mystic-type.
This kind of divination ability shouldn't be underestimated in any power system.
— — -Within Evernight, the Mystic-type ability was the highest-ranking power!
Liu Ping quickly passed through the crowd, walked along the corridor, passed through three passenger cabins, and arrived at the cockpit.
Clang!
The cockpit was kicked open by him.
"Who's there!"
The guards and pilots all turned around.
Liu Ping spoke: "I'm from the Supervisory Council, from now on, this airship is under my control"
Next to him, a little girl silently appeared and whispered: "Don't resist."
An invisible aura was emitted from the little girl's body.
All the pilots and guards instantly went limp, unable to move at all.
Liu Ping quickly stepped forward, stood in front of the control panel and quickly pressed various buttons, then held the rudder and controlled the airship to quickly descend.
"You know how to pilot an airship?" Libertas was shocked.
"I've seen the operation manual in the library, this is my first time trying it out." Liu Ping replied.
Loud noises came from inside the airship.
— — -The airship was descending too quickly, causing quite a few people to panic.
"Andrea, guard the door."
Liu Ping said without turning his head.
The little girl nodded, walked to the door, and glanced outside.
"Everyone, please be quiet."
She said in a small voice.
Everyone instantly went limp in their seats, unable to move.
As a level 40 dragon, even against Professionists of the same level, she had a huge advantage, not to mention that most of the airship's passengers were normal people.
Time slowly passed.
The airship passed through the clouds, silently descended, and finally stopped in a field outside the royal city.
Then a shocking scene appeared — — -
Endless clouds of fire shot up to the sky.
The flames were like a raging tide, destroying the clouds, burning through the night sky, and projecting into the endless deep sky.
If the airship was still flying above the clouds, then the only outcome awaiting it would be crashing.
"Libertas, you saved everyone."
Liu Ping said.
Libertas wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, unable to say anything for a while.
Luckily, he looked at the suggestion card!
Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Andrea stared at the clouds of fire in the sky and muttered: "But what exactly is this flame? It's almost impossible for a human to master a destructive spell technique of this type... "
Liu Ping had his own guesses.
— — -This cloud of fire is most likely the aftermath of the battle between the Emperor and the Supervisory Council.
"Look!"
Andrea suddenly called out.
Liu Ping looked up, only to see the cloud of fire in the sky suddenly condensed into a single point, turning into a woman.
She didn't even look back as she flew into the deep sky, flashing a few times before disappearing completely.
There were two of them when they came.
One of them ran away.
Seems like the Supervisory Council suffered a loss this time.
— — -Will they come again?
Liu Ping shook his head, temporarily throwing this thought out of his mind.
The appearance of the Supervisory Council has already caused trouble for that monster. Whether it's interrogating the captives or searching for the other members of the Supervisory Council, it'll only distract the prisoner.
That's enough.
"We can't wait here any longer, let's go back to the royal city." Liu Ping said.
He quickly walked out of the airship and threw out a mount card.
Libertas also took out the mount card he just bought and threw it out as well.
Two consecutive noises.
Two horses appeared in front of them.
