Chapter 4341
Kai felt a wave of disbelief wash over him as he processed Liu Bo’s declaration that he had dismantled the Piercing Cloud Sect. Meanwhile, Ji Yun couldn’t help but chuckle at Liu Bo’s bold words.
As Kai examined the map closely, he noticed that the designated route was unnecessarily convoluted. It was clear that if they flew directly, they could reach the East Domain Continent in no time at all.
“This is excessive! Even with a dirigible, this will take at least three days…”
Kai frowned as he spoke.
“It’s not a problem,” Liu Bo interjected quickly. “There are inhabited islands along the way where we can stop and rest the airship.”
“No need for that! Just fly straight! A direct route would take us only about a day. This winding path is a waste of time!”
Kai insisted, waving his hand dismissively.
“Absolutely not! If we go straight, we might inadvertently disturb a Mahayana realm cultivator who is in seclusion on one of those islands. That could lead to serious trouble,” Liu Bo replied, visibly alarmed by Kai’s suggestion to take the direct route.
Although Kai had reached the seventh level of the Transition Realm and was quite powerful, the thought of facing a Mahayana Realm expert was daunting.
After all, Liu Bo, Zhu Qingyue, and the others had never witnessed the full extent of Kai’s abilities. They believed the downfall of the Blood and Bone Sect was solely the result of Patriarch Jiang and the Palace Master of Guanghan Palace’s efforts.
Who would have imagined that a seventh-grade Transition Realm cultivator could single-handedly defeat a second-grade Mahayana Realm cultivator?
“Don’t worry! Our airship is fast and won’t be easily detected. You all were captured by the Blood and Bone Sect for quite some time, and we haven’t been able to contact our home. Don’t you think the people in Qi Jia Town might have already started causing trouble?”
Kai pointed out.
Liu Bo fell silent at this, recognizing the truth in Kai’s words. They had indeed been held captive for a considerable time, and without communication, it was quite possible that tensions between the Qi family town and Zhu family town had escalated.
After a thoughtful pause, Liu Bo finally nodded. “Alright, we’ll take the direct route. But if we encounter danger, you all should prioritize your safety and run away as fast as you can. I’ll hold them off and ensure Missy gets back safely!”
“Uncle Liu…” Zhu Qingyue looked at him, feeling a wave of shame wash over her.
She felt guilty for having selfishly fled while potentially putting the entire Zhu Family Town at risk. So many lives had been lost in the effort to find her, and here was Uncle Liu still willing to protect her.
“Don’t worry; everything will be fine,” Kai said with a gentle smile before turning to Ji Yun, urging him to accelerate the airship straight over the Dead Sea.
As the dirigible sped through the air, Kai closed his eyes to rest, while Liu Bo and Zhu Qingyue remained tense, their gazes fixed on the landscape outside.
More than half a day passed without incident, and everything seemed to be going smoothly. At this pace, they would reach the Eastern Continent in just a few hours, and crossing the Dead Sea would significantly enhance their safety!
Liu Bo and Zhu Qingyue sighed in relief, their anxiety lessening. But just then, the airship began to shake violently, jolting Kai awake.
“Mr. Chen, what’s happening?” Ji Yun asked hurriedly.
Before Kai could respond, he noticed that the Fire Qilin had unexpectedly burst out of the storage ring.
The fiery creature seemed exhilarated, repeatedly ramming against the walls of the airship, desperate to break free.
The sudden appearance of the Fire Qilin startled Liu Bo and Zhu Qingyue.
“What’s gotten into you, little one?” Kai exclaimed, attempting to return the Fire Qilin to its storage ring, but the creature resisted fiercely.
“Mr. Chen, it seems like this little guy senses something. Perhaps he’s found something interesting?” Ji Yun suggested.
Taking Ji Yun’s advice into account, Kai opened the door of the airship. The Fire Qilin darted out, heading straight for a small island below!
