Chapter 218 Unknown Defenders?
Chapter 218 Unknown Defenders?
Whoop. Whoop. Whoop. Whoop~
The sounds of birds flapping filled the air as many travelers from beyond lay on their flying beasts, all headed in one direction.
Some recognized each other, while others didn't know who their neighbors were.
Who can blame them?
There were people from the Tah province and Bailong province here too.
One should know that though each province had its top sects, there were still over 50~100 smaller sects and groups that were to join in the competition, though their quotas were small in number.
Big Sects like profound Sect, could amass over 120 quotas.
However, some sects could only get 2~7.
If you want to retort, then grow your sect's strength and prove yourself to earn more quotas!
The world only bows to the wrong.
Again, these big sects also had the most populations of disciples, from 700,000 to millions.
But the smaller sects had but 5,000~100,000.
So who would give them more quotas?
Because of their current positions and lack of funds, their flying beasts were also not comparable to the big sects.
Some had left for Yanging province several weeks before the big sects left. Yet, the big sects had already arrived in Yanging, and they were still out here flying.
Of course, when around the big sects, royals, and powerful organizations, they would tuck their hands and stay humble.
But now, flying around sects similar in strength, many held proud prepositions, sitting with straightened backs and noses pointing to the skies.
Too cruel!
Many watched a particular group attack flying beasts carrying another sect's disciples up ahead.
"Out of our way! Are you deaf?!"
"You!--"
The disciples were furious, but their elders flying alongside them hold them back.
One of the elders cupped his hands and gave a slight bow to these arrogant people.
"Pardon us, nephew. Please, do not take offense. It's this villain's fault for blocking your path. We will steer clear now."
The elder apologized, masking his hatred. What can they do? They were weak against these unreasonable Bailong people.
It's a normal occurrence for the other provinces to always attack those from the Tah province when they have the chance.
Of course, there were still some powerful people from the Tah province around, but not as many compared to those from Bailong flying beside them.
If they were equal in number, they wouldn't be afraid for a fight to break out.
Hateful!
Those in Bailong could also reach Yanging from their borders. But some sects were far away from the region bordering Yanging and Bailong.
So they had to cross into the Tah province and enter Yanging via the Tah-Yanging borders.
If not for this, would they have to face these despicable villains in their own Tah province?
"Nephew, please pardon us."
"Pardon you?... Hmph! You're lucky we're in a good mood. So we won't waste time with you anymore." One of the arrogant Bailong core disciples retorted, waving his hands nonchalantly.
They enjoyed seeing the angered yet fearful and cautious looks these good-for-nothings gave them.
"Let's go."
Vmm!
Their flying beasts and birds took off, moving faster than those from the surrounding Tah Province.
Bam!
Their beasts rudely nudged the sides of several beasts, almost throwing the Tah disciples down. And when they were far ahead, they laughed crookedly at these people's fate.
"Pfft~... With this little strength, they dare to enter the competition?"
"That's right. If I meet any of them during any competition, I'll kill them all."
"Waste! Trash from the bottom gutters... Just seeing them has made my eyes unclean."
The elders escorting these arrogant disciples said nothing, only having smiles on their faces.
These Tah people can only blame themselves for being weak!
They looked at each other tactfully, seeing smiles in their eyes. But sadly, the feeling didn't last.
Bam!
Everyone felt a dangerous and strange force engulf their surroundings as their beasts yelled and sank from unknown attacks.
What???!
Hearts shipping, weapons at hand, they twisted and zoomed their eyes around to no avail.
Who shot at them?
Whoosh!!!
A strange wind flew too fast and vanished in a blink of an eye before the surroundings returned to its previous state.
The elders froze, not wanting to believe what they saw.
Hold on... Was that a ship?
Impossible. They must have seen it wrong.
It must be the bottom belly part of some unknown beast, right?
Well, whatever it was, it flew and vanished before they could have a second look at it.
And this was saying a lot, knowing in their group, there were powerful elders, who were even in the 11th Dan of the Spirit realm here!
You know, from the 13th, one ascends. So the 11th Dan was also good.
Their eyes could see things miles and miles away as though they were standing in front of them.
So imagine not being able to see whatever flew by after one blink?
This means it vanished out of their sight range with no difficulty.
A momentary silence filled the scene.
"From now on, we keep to ourselves." One of the lead elders commanded before narrowing his gaze at the disciples from his sect. "Don't provoke others again."
These Tah people might have powerful defenders riding whatever flew by above them.
Elders from the other Bailong sects also cautioned their disciples to keep low profiles.
They had their fun now. So no more, lest they anger a being they couldn't afford to offend.
Because of the attack, some of their beasts got injured, decreasing their flying speed.
Their hearts bled, watching the beasts swallow their healing elixirs and pills meant for the disciples during the competition.
Lowkey... Low key...
Many chanted the words like mantras, though a part of them also wanted to know what attacked them.
Could it be that it was really a flying ship?
(?~?)
.
Whoosh!
The magnificent ship sailed over yonder, far above the clouds.
[Approaching Yanging in 10 minutes.]
What? So soon?
Many quickly stormed out, standing outside the massive deck with wished eyes and smiles that couldn't stop, especially those who would be seeing Yanging for the first time.
They truly wanted to see this Yanging that earned the envy of all other provinces.
