Chapter 383 He is the head of the Donglan family
Wen Yangxiu opened his mouth to curse the cloud chariot flying dragon that had once again encircled him. In his frantic operation, he suddenly saw the cloud chariot flying dragon, which was about to intercept him, explode. The raging fire and shockwave were even worse than what they had experienced before.
The curse that was about to come out of Wen Yangxiu's mouth was swallowed back down. He stared in disbelief at the burning cloud chariot and asked, "Who did this?"
Zhong Lishan held the unsheathed Shuofeng Sword in front of him, looking out the window with a furrowed brow: "I don't know."
"Where's Meimei?" Wen Yangxiu asked again.
“It’s still ahead.” Zhong Lishan turned his gaze back to Mei Liangyu, who was standing in the passageway ahead.
"Then let's ignore them and get them out of here first." Wen Yangxiu withdrew his gaze and continued to maneuver the cloud chariot forward, but he quickly frowned again, took a deep breath and shouted to the back, "Meimei! We're about to enter the Endless Sea Thunderstorm Zone. If you don't fix the cloud chariot, you won't be able to maintain your balance later. You guys hold on tight!"
"Also, someone just got on the cloud vehicle, be careful not to let them come here!"
"Most of the blessings from famous masters and the techniques from all walks of life on the cloud chariot have been removed, such as the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Official."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Lishan threw his Shuofeng Sword in front of Cang Shu and Shi Yuezhen, unleashing a golden light sword barrier. (Cantonese song)
"Gu Gan?" Xing Chun turned to look at Xun Zhiya, who was still bound by spider silk, and his eyes twitched slightly.
Xun Zhiya seemed to have been knocked unconscious by the shockwave, lying in the corner covered in blood, looking pitiful.
Cang Shu glanced at Shi Yuezhen, who had also fainted, and flicked the Shuofeng Sword back to Zhongli Shan's side: "Just take care of yourself. Don't worry about me and Yuezhen when it matters."
Xing Chun was furious: "How could you say such things?!"
Cang Shu picked up Shi Yuezhen and prepared to walk into the next carriage. He said, "If Xun Zhiya really knows anything, I will torture her in every way and then kill her."
"You shouldn't have attacked the Holy Maiden of Nanjing."
Xing Chun was taken aback and silently watched as Cang Shu led Shi Yuezhen into the car.
They spent too long in Taiyi and gradually forgot the difference in status they had outside.
The rules of Taiyi Academy weaken their status and power, but once they leave Taiyi Academy, they must abide by the stricter rules between the six countries.
Zhonglishan fell silent. Cang Shu was because of Xun Zhiya, but what was Mei Liangyu's reason?
Cang Shu went to the compartment inside the car, placed Shi Yuezhen on the bed, and then cut open his left palm, feeding the flowing blood to Shi Yuezhen.
He used the flesh and blood, which were embodied by the five elements, to transform into golden light and illuminate Shi Yuezhen's eyes. By feeding Shi Yuezhen in this way, he was essentially using his own lifespan to extend another person's life.
The blood of the hundred insects in Cangshu nourished Shi Yuezhen day after day, year after year; otherwise, the little girl would have died in that avalanche long ago.
As the golden light gathered within Shi Yuezhen's body grew brighter, Cang Shu's face became increasingly pale. At this moment, when his snow-white skin was cut open, there seemed to be no blood flowing through it.
Exhausted, Cang Shu knelt down by the bed, using the last of his strength to grip the edge of the bed. Dizziness blurred his vision, and he groped for Shi Yuezhen's cold hand before losing consciousness.
...
Mei Liangyu intercepted Shi Yuezhen and Cang Shu in his cloud-carrying flying dragon, and also killed a disciple of the academy, Qian Ying. When this news reached Jiang Shulan's ears, the old woman was shocked and grief appeared in her eyes.
Jiang Shulan wanted to personally go and capture Shi Yuezhen, Mei Liangyu, and others.
Wan Guiyue covered her mouth and coughed, saying, "Dean Jiang, according to the rules, even a Saint is not allowed to use the power of the Earth's core on the disciples of the academy. If you want to capture someone, you can only use the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon."
Leng Rouyin frowned and said, "The Taiyi Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon has stopped today. The Mechanists said it's under maintenance."
"The one at the port is grounded for maintenance, so the one Mei Liangyu drove away doesn't need maintenance?" Kuang Chu sneered. "Aren't you just telling Dean Jiang to learn from Mei Liangyu and steal the cloud vehicle from the government agency?"
Leng Rouyin said expressionlessly, "What I mean is that the mechanical family is protecting Mei Liangyu, so they used the excuse that the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon needs maintenance and is taking a break from flying."
“Let me talk to the people from the government.” Jiang Shulan looked at Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng looked stern. He also believed that Shi Yuezhen had committed such a serious mistake that she must be brought back and punished. So he sent a message to the head of the organization and handed it over to Jiang Shulan.
The other saints all turned their heads to look over.
Jiang Shulan said, "I am Jiang Shulan."
"Dean Jiang," came the cold voice of Situ's grandmother from the wind-blown ruler, "What is it?"
Jiang Shulan said, "The authorities should have also received the wanted notice issued by the college."
Situ's grandmother said, "It is the responsibility of Taiyi Academy to arrest the offending disciples."
Jiang Shulan looked reluctant, but still spoke up: "Mei Liangyu obtained the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon from the mechanical house, took away the student who committed the crime, and also killed another student."
Situ's grandmother continued, "As far as I know, Taiyi Academy is currently in the midst of the Hundred Families Night Trial, where disciples live and die without regard for each other. How can there be any talk of killing?"
Jiang Shulan hesitated, and Yu Sheng spoke up: "He assisted the wanted disciple who was expelled from the academy."
Situ's grandmother: "So Mei Liangyu was also expelled from the academy?"
A brief silence fell over the room of saints. Finally, Wan Guiyue spoke softly, "Yes, he should be expelled from the academy."
Zou Qian raised her eyelids to look at her, but Wan Guiyue coughed and lowered her eyes.
"Why don't we vote on whether Mei Liangyu should be expelled from the academy?" Zou Qian said lazily. "Even if he is Elder Chang's disciple, he shouldn't receive such preferential treatment."
Kuang Chu raised his hand and said, "I vote to be expelled from the academy."
Leng Rouyin said calmly, "Me too."
Wan Guiyue gently raised her hand.
Yin Ziwu and Zou Qian also raised their hands and looked at Jiang Shulan.
Jiang Shulan then looked at Yu Sheng, who nodded. Jiang Shulan then said to Grandmother Situ, "Mei Liangyu has just been expelled from Taiyi and is no longer a disciple of the academy. Therefore, I will immediately go to the Endless Sea to bring back the wanted disciple. I request that Patriarch Situ lift the ban on cloud chariots."
"Dean Jiang, since Mei Liangyu is no longer Taiyi's student, from now on he will be the head of the Donglan family."
Situ's grandmother's voice traveled through the Wind Listening Ruler to everyone present: "According to our agreement with Taiyi, the territory under the jurisdiction of the Twenty-Four Saints does not include Mechanical Island, nor does it include the Mechanical Family. The actions of the Donglan Family Head at this moment are naturally not under the control of the Saints, so I am sorry that I cannot accept your request."
After the telepathic message ended, Jiang Shulan stared blankly at the extinguished ruler.
The other saints in the room had different expressions.
After Mei Liangyu regained her memory, the mechanical experts, who had been quiet for many years, finally seemed to break their silence.
As soon as Grandmother Situ hung up the telepathic message, she saw another cloud-carrying dragon take off from the mechanical island, even faster than the first one.
"Master, a cloud chariot belonging to the Nangong family has been driven away from the outer city," a subordinate reported. "The cloud chariot that just took off was led by Murong Quan..."
Situ's grandmother said, "Let him go."
"yes."
Murong Quan secretly led Gongsun Qi into the Situ family's flying cloud chariot, intending to hijack one and fly away, but they were caught red-handed by Situ Jin. Situ Jin was about to fight with Quan when he sent him back to drive the Murong family's flying cloud chariot around recklessly.
Gongsun Qi, standing beside him, placed one hand on the hilt of his sword. The sword was not drawn, yet it emitted a clear and melodious sound.
The two who were arguing were startled at the same time, and subconsciously began to operate the control panel in unison, making the cloud car take off and into the air.
"Is this the only speed we can go?" Gongsun Qi asked, standing by the control panel.
"Brother, this is the fastest we can go!" A-Quan said with a bitter face, "We've lifted all the restrictions."
Gongsun Qi asked, "How long will it take to catch up with them?"
Ah Quan estimated and said, "About fifteen minutes!"
Situ Jin said, "If they are intercepted and attacked by Gu Gan first, it might be even faster."
"Gu Gan?" A-Quan asked, puzzled.
Situ Jin said, "You don't know? The Nangong family hijacked a cloud carriage for him in the outer city to chase after him..."
Gongsun Qi suddenly asked, "Is Gu Gan Nangong Ming's son?"
“No, but I heard that Nangong Ming treats him no differently than his own son.” Situ Jin said cautiously, “That’s why his real son, Sheng Fei, is at odds with Gu Gan.”
Gongsun Qi looked thoughtful, while Aquan was already rubbing his hands together, eager to help: "We have to hurry and chase after them to help! The Nangong family actually dared to hijack our cloud chariot in the outer city!"
Before he finished speaking, Gongsun Qi had already drawn his sword and looked behind him, saying, "If there were fewer cumbersome parts, it would be faster."
Before A-Quan and Situ Jin could react, Gongsun Qi's sword had already struck out, and the nearly hundreds-of-meters-long cloud chariot dragon suddenly sank, the stunning sword energy cutting off half of the dragon's body.
The cloud-carrying dragon, with its tail severed, sped forward at breakneck speed.
...
Wen Yangxiu was falling down because Gu Gan used the Divine Mechanism Heavenly Official to eliminate the Nine Streams Technique, and the Yang Fish's explosion destroyed the Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon. However, not long after, Mei Liangyu used the Heart of a Thousand Machines to forcibly and quickly repair the Cloud Chariot and restore its blessing, which allowed the Cloud Chariot to maintain its balance and fly back into the sky.
The Nangong family's Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon was about to surround Wen Yangxiu and the others and was about to stop them when Yu Sui used the Five Elements Light Core to explode, causing everyone at the control panel to be thrown off. The Cloud Chariot Flying Dragon, out of control, suddenly plummeted.
The cloud chariot fell very fast because the impact of the explosive combustion of the five elements was too great, putting pressure on it in the opposite direction.
As the rapidly falling cloud chariot approached the sea surface, it burst into golden light, revealing the incantations hidden within its body. This forced the chariot to a stop, hovering above the sea and slowing its speed.
Yu Sui ignored Nian Qiuyan, who was hiding. She came to the control panel in the firelight and waited for the cloud chariot to trigger the blessing of the masters before moving the control lever on the control panel again. Based on the operation she had glimpsed from the Five Elements Light Core, she wanted the cloud chariot to fly upward.
But for some reason, the cloud vehicle remained suspended on the endless sea without moving.
Yu Sui glanced at the coachman who was gradually waking up on the ground, then tapped the table with her finger, making a crisp sound that instantly sobered the coachman up. He stood up tremblingly, clutching his bleeding head.
“Go up,” Yu Sui said to him, her voice altered by some kind of magic, making it difficult to tell if she was male or female.
Under her threats, the driver forced himself to go to the control panel and start operating it.
Yu Sui stepped back and watched quietly.
The control room was ravaged by casualties, mostly from the Nangong Second Division.
Commander Chen was jolted awake by the crackling sound of flames burning, but then fell into a prolonged state of tinnitus.
He saw a dark figure standing by the control panel with his back to him. While he was on guard, he also witnessed Yu Sui threatening the driver.
Commander Chen could not hear his own breathing, but he could see his men who had died not far away. Some were seriously injured and unconscious, while others died with their eyes wide open, all bearing the marks of fire.
He curled his bleeding fingers, took a deep breath, and was about to make a move when a golden butterfly flew past his eyes, instantly transforming into a sharp scimitar that slashed a bloody gash across his neck.
Commander Chen, who had just raised his head, fell heavily back down.
Yu Sui didn't turn her head, but simply stretched out her hand, the golden curved blade with a few traces of blood hanging on her slender fingers.
The coachman was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. He dared not guess the identity of the man in black. He quickened his pace and once again propelled the cloud chariot into the sky.
Yu Sui looked outside the cloud chariot, and only after it flew back into the clouds did she see the figure of another cloud chariot, the Flying Dragon.
"We're about to enter the thunderstorm area," the driver said in a trembling voice. "We can't go too fast. Given the condition of this cloud chariot, we can't fight the sea of thunder head-on."
Yu Sui asked, "What do you think of the condition of that cloud vehicle in front?"
"They're about on par with us," the driver said. "Do you...do you want to chase after them?"
"Chase after them," Yu Sui said, "regardless of whether we have to fight Lei Hai head-on."
The coachman glanced at the golden scimitar hanging on Yu Sui's fingertip out of the corner of his eye, but dared not think too much about it. He did as she said and dragged the broken cloud chariot flying dragon forward at full speed again.
Yu Sui's cloud chariot, Flying Dragon, did not fly very high. The driver used the sea air to accelerate and occasionally looked up to see if there was another cloud chariot flying dragon in the clouds above. Once he was sure that the distance was close, the cloud chariot, which had been moving parallel to the sky, suddenly raised its head and rushed into the sky.
Therefore, Yu Sui failed to see the blood-red figure falling from the cloud chariot opposite.
