Chapter 128 Meeting is Fate
Inside the wheelhouse, the original captain and first mate lay slumped in a corner, their fates unknown. Sitting in the helm was the middle-aged man who had been hit by Tong Yunqi earlier.
Hearing someone enter, he turned around and grinned menacingly. The airship, which he had seized control of, immediately moved at his command. After a few vibrations, all the weapons on board were aimed at the interior, and the weapons in the cockpit were also aimed at the outsiders at the door. At the same time, a light blue protective shield appeared near the pilot's seat.
This equipment was originally intended to deal with invading foreign enemies, but now that it's in enemy hands, the situation has reversed.
"Don't move around, or you'll get blown to pieces and won't be good for making materials," the fake captain threatened with a confident, sinister grin.
The weapons carried on the flying boat are usually puppets and cannon-shaped magical artifacts that are powered by spirit stones. These cannons are similar to the cannons used in the mortal kingdoms of the lower spirit realm, but they fire compressed spiritual energy balls with explosive effects.
In the blink of an eye, Su Yao did not move, but instead released a large amount of her divine sense to begin seizing control of the flying boat.
She has lived two lives, and her spiritual awareness is several times stronger than that of ordinary people.
The weapons in the cockpit gradually began to turn around and face the fake captain.
The two girls behind her exchanged a glance, then jogged over to the captain and first mate in the corner. One of them dragged the person outside, and once they confirmed that she was still breathing, they began to perform first aid.
Cold sweat slowly broke out on the fake captain's back. He felt as if an unseen behemoth was fiercely pulling at him from the other side of control, even using only one claw to playfully watch him struggle to relinquish control.
No, how could that be?
He took a secret medicine before coming on this mission, so his spiritual strength should have reached the Void Refinement stage! Even if the academy's instructors came, he could still control the flying boat!
The fake captain cursed his accomplices inwardly.
He's already flown the airship into the encirclement, how come he hasn't taken it down yet? He's about to lose control!
In that instant when he was distracted, Su Yao released her divine sense and seized control completely. Then, almost teleporting, she stepped forward and used the back of her sword to knock the fake captain unconscious.
This life will be spared for now; further interrogation is needed.
So when a mentor rushed over in a panic, he saw Su Yao, a promising student from their academy, with a cold face, stepping on the prisoner's back and yanking hard on the specially made rope in her hand.
Professor Li was only a junior tutor in charge of student life, and seeing this situation, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He turned his head and glanced at the famously gentle You Fujun.
After You Fujun healed the captain's injuries, she smiled and propped her chin on her hand, looking at Su Yao in the cockpit. Her beautiful eyes were full of admiration, and she thought, "She truly is my proud A Yao."
Professor Li paused for a moment, then turned back to her and tentatively asked, "Um, Su Yao?"
Su Yao made sure the straps were secure, then turned around and asked expressionlessly, "Hello, Instructor Li, is there something you need?"
Well, thankfully, Professor Li thought. Their core prospect has always been a polite and well-behaved child, just a little too fierce when facing enemies. It's no big deal.
So he said, "Professor Pan and the others have started leading the students to fight back. Another professor and I are checking the numbers. I'm glad you're all okay. There's a fight going on on the deck now."
Su Yao nodded: "Understood, we'll go provide support. You can keep an eye on this prisoner."
"Xiao Jun, A Mo, let's go!"
After saying that, Su Yao returned the control she had regained to the captain, who had already woken up, and then headed to the main battlefield on the deck with the other two.
Chang Zhi and Yue Minghe's previous measures were only a temporary delay, allowing their mentors and classmates to quickly prepare for battle. If a real fight were to break out, it would be better to fight on the deck, where the open space would make it easier to unleash their full potential.
On the deck, a disciple was forced into a corner, and the black-robed evil cultivator's strange silver needle magic weapon was about to pierce the back of his neck in the next instant.
This disciple was already exhausted, and his fellow disciples and mentors around him each had their own formidable opponents, so they probably couldn't spare a move...
His close fellow disciples called out his name, but were unable to come and stop him.
A hint of despair flickered in his eyes, but the fact that he had died in battle made him feel somewhat at peace.
A crimson streak of light came from the horizon, pierced through the wrist of the evil cultivator holding the silver needle, and continued forward, dragging the evil cultivator and pinning him to the wooden railing surrounding the deck of the flying boat.
Upon closer inspection, everyone realized that the streak of light was actually an arrow, the tail of which was still trembling.
A third party has appeared. Who is it?
Su Yao, who rushed from the exit to the deck, reacted quickly, dragging the disciple who seemed to have not yet come to his senses into the cabin first, and then quickly joined the battle. Although she was still showing the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, Su Yao was already skilled at secretly using her super-strong divine sense to launch mental attacks.
With the arrival of Su Yao and the others, the battlefield, which had become somewhat stagnant due to the appearance of a third party, started moving again. It seemed that the person shooting arrows in the shadows had come to help Nan Du Academy.
Because a continuous stream of arrows continued to fly in, hitting none of the evil cultivators, and even restraining several of their peak Nascent Soul stage leaders, giving their mentors time to help their disciples.
With help, the pressure on all the instructors and disciples of Nandu Academy was greatly reduced, as the mysterious person would always step in to help when some of the weaker disciples were in mortal danger.
What follows is almost certainly a high-risk ordeal.
The instructors exchanged glances and, with the help of the mysterious man, tacitly restrained the leaders at the Nascent Soul stage and pulled them away from the deck, leaving the remaining Nascent Soul evil cultivators, whose strength was similar to that of their disciples, behind for training.
This is because they didn't know that there was a fake Nascent Soul cultivator, Su Yao, among their disciples. Similarly, those evil cultivator leaders were also unaware that there was a Nascent Soul cultivator hidden among the Southern Crossing disciples. They were so confident that after they held their mentor back, their underlings would be able to capture a few Southern Crossing disciples of sufficient quality to refine pills.
But their dream was destined to be shattered.
That mysterious person was at least at the Nascent Soul stage; not only did he act as a safety net for the archers on the deck, but also…
Damn, that guy has a flying boat and he's firing at them!
Most of the heretical practitioners were silenced, with only a few left alive for interrogation. One of the instructors took them back to the Nandu Academy.
Led by their mentors, the disciples began to clean up the mess, removing bloodstains from the deck and rescuing their injured fellow disciples.
Professor Pan Rui stood on the deck and called out to the other side, "Thank you for your help. I am Pan Rui from Nandu Academy. Would you be willing to come and have a chat with me?"
A small airship slowly emerged from the distant clouds, and a clear male voice drifted over from afar: "You're too kind, sir. But since we've met, let's get together."
