Chapter 32 Airship Accident

Just as Yan Shi was pondering, Liu Guang had already condensed a fire spell, completely disregarding the people around him, and launched a devastating attack on Shu Zhijing.

The fire magic exploded in the center of the restaurant with intense heat.

Yan Shi took a few steps back, just about to cast a spell, when he realized something was wrong.

She seemed completely oblivious to the intense heat of the flames...?

The spell that was very close to her, which looked fierce, gave her a warm and gentle feeling.

She lowered her brows and looked at the blazing sun crown on her wrist, but the crown remained motionless.

Shu Zhijing then cleaved the flames with his sword.

As the target of the radiant spell, she faced it head-on without retreating.

After cleaving through the flame magic with a single sword strike, she quickly formed an array, her cold sword blade slashing towards the flowing light.

With his left hand, Liu Guang conjured a shield of flames, while with his right hand, after making several complex hand gestures, he summoned a dense barrage of rockets that shot towards Shu Zhijing.

Shu Zhijing's swordsmanship should be characterized by its wide and sweeping movements. Under this dense barrage of fire arrows, she leaped up with her hind legs and slashed down with her sword, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

There were no fancy sword moves, just a simple horizontal slash.

As the most outstanding disciple of Kunlun's generation, Shu Zhijing's basic skills were undoubtedly solid. With that sword strike, the giant wave of flames was directly flattened and then rolled back towards the flowing light.

One force can overcome ten techniques; one sword can break through ten thousand formations.

Liu Guang let out a "Huh," her fighting spirit growing stronger. The flames that had been knocked back were condensed into a fire dragon, roaring as it devoured Shu Zhijing once more.

The fire dragon and the sword clashed, creating a deafening roar, while sparks and fragments of the sword struck the restaurant tables and decorations.

The restaurant was a mess, and the airship shook violently.

Shu Zhijing and Liu Guang fought quickly, and the crowd in the restaurant scattered in all directions.

Yan Shi moved even closer to the door, the splashing flames shielding her from Shu Zhijing's sword intent.

She looked at Wei Ning, who had just stood up after clapping.

Wei Ning remained expressionless, and at some point produced a staff. She walked slowly toward Yan Shi.

"Should I take it myself, or will you give it to me?" She stopped a few steps away from Yan Shi. "I just thought about it, and it's well past the transaction time. Since the contraband has already been taken out of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, who ends up with it is up to us."

Before she could finish speaking, she had already summoned several water ropes from her staff, attempting to bind Yan Shi's limbs.

They were, after all, a smuggling ring.

Yan Shi had anticipated that Wei Ning wouldn't be as kind and easy to talk to as she seemed on the surface, but he didn't expect her to tear off the mask so quickly.

The water rope approached Yan Shi, sweeping around him. Without thinking, Yan Shi immediately chanted a spell, "God said, water rope break!"

The water rope instantly detached.

Wei Ning raised an eyebrow and waved her staff again. The tip of the staff shimmered with crystal-clear water light, and a large amount of water spirits formed an ice-blue sea of ​​spiritual energy around the staff, roaring and surging towards Yan Shi again, trying to completely submerge her.

Wei Ning's eyes held only indifference. "No matter how powerful your Word of Power is, it shouldn't be endless, right?"

"Then let me see whether it's the person you're using your curse to be more lenient with you, or whether there's more water elemental energy in this air."

In fact, Yan Shi could no longer summon any more spells. She could feel that after the spell that cut the water rope earlier was used, the last bit of fairness she had managed to obtain had also disappeared.

Damn it, she's been sitting in an office for almost half a year, how come she never thought of cultivating her spiritual power? Or did she not realize that the spell would fail, and that she relied too much on the power of words?

I really want to control Shui Ling.

Just as the icy blue sea of ​​spiritual energy was about to touch Yan Shi and engulf her, she once again felt the warmth and gentleness of the water spirit nearby.

No, to be precise, it's different from fire elemental power; it's obedience derived from water elemental power.

She instinctively reached out and shook it.

The water, which rushed towards her, rolled up like a blue cloth, and as she grasped it, it slowly tightened.

It was then kneaded into an ice-blue staff made entirely of water spirits.

"Elemental counters?" Wei Ning exclaimed in disbelief, "You're a Grand Magister!"

Yan Shi gripped the water-made staff she had just acquired, and with her will, a massive wave of water elements swept back towards Wei Ning.

Wei Ning couldn't control the overwhelming water elements rushing towards her. "Flowing Light!" she shouted sharply.

Liu Guang, who was still fighting with Shu Zhijing, turned around and her pupils contracted when she saw this scene. She didn't have time to think, and the raging flames that were entangling Shu Zhijing instantly passed over Shu Zhijing and blocked the overwhelming water elemental attack that Yan Shi had launched.

The two elements collided, and at the point of impact, the immense spiritual energy caused a distortion in spacetime. As this distortion occurred, the entire area fell silent.

Then, centered on the collision of spiritual energy, the aftershocks of the explosion spread outwards. The entire airship first made a slight cracking sound, and then slowly cracked open from the dome in the center of the restaurant.

"So strong..." Lin Cai was dumbfounded. When the fight just started, she had already quickly run to Gui Ge Mu and Yu Jun Xun's side so that she could be protected if she was caught in the crossfire.

Yu Junxun slowly looked up at the restaurant's dome and murmured to himself, "I have a bad feeling."

Seizing the opportunity, Shu Zhijing once again swung his sword behind Liuguang.

The surging sword intent, combined with the elemental collisions filling the sky, became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

The cracks in the restaurant's dome widened and then burst open, turning the airship into pieces and taking all the creatures that had fought on it with it as it plummeted to the ground.

Lin Cai: "Director Yu, your bad premonition has come true! Help! Aa ...

Gui Gemu: "Shut up!" She quickly took out a small square piece of paper from her pocket and unfolded it.

After being unfolded, the array paper quickly grew larger, becoming a magical artifact similar to a flying carpet, which caught Lin Cai, Gui Gemu, and Yu Junxun.

At the same time, Yu Junxun seemed to have been triggered by the elements in the sky, and protective arrays began to light up on his body one after another.

"A useless disciple from a powerful family," Gui Gemu said mockingly, glancing at him.

Yu Junxun took out another oil-paper umbrella from his storage bag, opened it, and cast a protective shield.

"Director Gui," he smiled politely, "you also come from a prominent family."

Gui Gemu scoffed, "I have no connection with the family."

After settling in, Lin Cai anxiously peeked out from behind the array paper to check on Yan Lan's current situation.

After the airship exploded, Yan Shi subconsciously waved her staff again, and the obedient Shui Ling caught her and floated with her in the air.

Yan Shi looked back at the airship that had been blown to pieces in shock: Was she really that strong?

Shu Zhijing flew through the air on her sword.

Wei Ning was then received by Liu Guang and suspended by a small sprayer.

There were clearly many people on the airship, and they were all using their unique abilities to either hover in mid-air or carefully land.

Wei Ning's expression was beyond ugly as she watched the rapidly falling debris of the airship.

“Let’s make this clear beforehand,” Yan Shi said, standing not far from them, “I wanted to take the airship to Emerald City in peace. You started it by breaking the airship; it has nothing to do with me.”

This airship looks very expensive. If Wei Ning wants to compensate her, she will have to work for another ten years to afford it.

The execution team, as expected of the elites of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, had adapted and adjusted, and lined up neatly behind Shu Zhijing.

“It’s good that the airship is cracked,” Shu Zhijing said in a deep voice. “The Bureau of Extraterritorial Affairs’ enforcement team is now pursuing the smuggling syndicate. No one is allowed to move!”

Wei Ning glanced at Shu Zhijing and then looked at Yan Shi again, "Are you from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs?"

Yan Shi: ...!

No, no, no, you can't admit to that.

Based on her actions over the past two days, if she admits that she is Yan Shi, what's the difference between that and admitting that she knowingly broke the law?

He'll rot in jail!

"Me? The Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs?" Yan Shi feigned composure, then suddenly remembered that he had a twin sister. "I'm not from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs."

Shu Zhijing looked at Yan Shi: "Director Yan is looking for you."

She had also heard Wei Ning's exasperated question. Yan Lan was different from what she had imagined. He wasn't just an ordinary person who relied on his sister's curse; he was actually a water-elemental archmage.

Moreover, Yanlan seems to do everything purely based on her own personality. Now she just hopes to bring up the director so that Yanlan will stop adding fuel to the fire in their pursuit of the smuggling gang.

What is this? When did she start looking for me? Yan Shi was even more confused, but that didn't stop her from using this to distance herself from the bureau chief.

"Then let her look for it. She can't possibly show up right now." Yan Shi slowly twirled his staff. "I think you two are having a lot of fun. Let's continue."

Liu Guang was somewhat surprised: "She knows your bureau chief, so why is she asking our smuggling group to reissue her identity code?"

"Reissue the identity code?" Lin Cai's heart tightened, feeling that her guess that Yan Lan had become an unregistered person in the underworld after her grandmother's death had truly come true.

She clenched her fists.

Stop! Yan Shi didn't want the news that she needed to reissue her ID code to become common knowledge in both the inner and outer worlds, so she interrupted, "Although we had a fight, I think, Commander Wei Ning, our deal can still continue, right?"

“Of course.” Wei Ning, as expected of the leader of the Mithril Merchant Guild, was flexible and adaptable. After Yan Lan’s strength was demonstrated, Yan Lan became a trading partner who could be on equal footing with her.

Yan Shi: "But it doesn't seem very convenient right now."

Shu Zhijing had already guessed the details of the deal between Yanlan and the smuggling gang, and she stopped her, saying, "Yanlan, aren't you our director's sister? How can you do business with the smuggling gang? You're ruining your sister's job."

"The sister of the head of the Bureau of Extraordinary Management?" Liu Guang couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. "Your Bureau of Extraordinary Management is quite interesting. The head's sister is actually a criminal who dismantles a branch of the Bureau of Extraordinary Management."

“Although we are a smuggling ring, we don’t dismantle the Bureau of Management. So we are quite law-abiding.”

This isn't going to be resolved, is it...?

Yan Shi had a headache.

During their conversation, the members of the Mithril Merchant Guild quickly gathered up the scattered goods and left, leaving only Wei Ning, Liu Guang, and a small number of combatants on the field.

Yan Shi glanced distractedly in the direction they had left.

It is Emerald City.

They were almost at Emerald City when Gui Gemu became increasingly worried about Sheng Chunqiu's safety. She sent a telepathic message to Shu Zhijing, "We also have urgent transfer orders. Let's complete the director's urgent transfer order first."

“You definitely can’t catch them right now. It’s better to wait until Sheng Chunqiu is rescued, then you can go to Emerald City together to catch them,” Gui Gemu analyzed. “Judging from the current situation, there should be a black market in Emerald City. We can catch them all in one fell swoop then.”

Shu Zhijing glanced at Wei Ning and Liu Guang again, knowing that there was no point in getting entangled with them in mid-air, and nodded.

Gui Gemu took out the small flying device that Duan Yunchen had given her from her spatial bracelet.

Shu Zhijing: "Let's go."

All the members of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs entered the small aircraft in an orderly fashion and flew towards Emerald City in the distance.

“Everyone’s gone, now it’s convenient for us to discuss our deal.” Wei Ning looked at Yan Shi.

Yan Shi had already shifted into a comfortable semi-reclined position in the air, with Shui Ling thoughtfully cushioning her back.

"How do you want to talk?" Yan Shi tapped his palm lightly with his staff.

Wei Ning: "It mainly depends on you. After all, the law seems to only bind me, not you. Is your name really Yanlan?"

During the fight, she instantly understood why the law's agreement had no effect on Yan Lan.

The rule only identifies the two parties to the agreement and the content of the agreement, but if Yanlan tells her a wrong name, then the rule will naturally not be able to bind Yanlan.

“Of course my name is Yanlan.” Yan Shi’s eyes widened. “After all, I’m the sister of the director of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs. My sister’s subordinates couldn’t possibly call me by the wrong name, could they?”

Wei Ning didn't respond, but just looked at Yan Shi for a while longer. At this point, it was obvious whose spell Yan Shi had borrowed earlier was.

The head of the Bureau of Disorder seems to have an extremely high tolerance for this younger sister.

Moreover, this current head of the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs is said to have the power of laws, so it seems possible that her sister Yanlan is not bound by the laws.

She stopped trying to figure out if it was true or false. "If you really want to do a deal, then let's do it now, cash on delivery."

"So you told me before that your Mithril Merchant Guild couldn't come up with such a large amount of liquid funds all at once, you were lying to me." Yan Shi pretended to be slightly sad, then changed the subject and said, "I really like a few of these items and want to keep them for myself. Maybe I should think about which ones I should trade with you."
