Chapter 445: Arrival!
"Ancestor, sothing terrible has happened..."
Shortly after Xiao Yi Xian and her companions left, an urgent voice echoed from the streets beyond the massive square.
Imdiately, an elderly figure rushed toward the center of the square.
"What's the matter, Wang Tao? Why are you in such a panic?"
Seeing the figure approach, Luo Cheng’s face darkened as he sternly reprimanded.
"Miss Xiao Yao... she... her body was shattered by three foreign won!" Wang Tao, the old man who had rushed over, stamred as he reported.
"What?"
"Xiao Yao was killed?"
"Three foreign won?"
Hearing Wang Tao’s report, Luo Cheng’s face turned ashen, grief plainly visible in his expression. He could not hide the sorrow in his eyes.
The next mont, Luo Cheng turned abruptly toward the pitch-black space tunnel, his eyes ablaze with fury.
"Boom!"
Driven by his anger, Luo Cheng slamd his palm forcefully toward the space tunnel.
However, the space seal previously placed by Xiao Yin prevented his attack from damaging the tunnel.
"Ah!"
Frustrated by his failed attempt, Luo Cheng gathered more Dou Qi and struck again at the distorted space seal.
"Luo, you need to calm down… Those three won are from a powerful Central Plains faction. Even if you destroy the space tunnel, it won’t affect them much; at most, it will slightly divert their destination. Have you thought about the consequences of your actions?" Feng Lao, standing nearby, tried to dissuade the enraged Luo Cheng.
"Your granddaughter isn’t the one who died! Of course, you can stay calm!" Luo Cheng roared as he continued channeling his Dou Qi to attack the seal.
"Luo, what’s the point of this? Even if you destroy the tunnel, you’ll provoke a grudge with those three. If they return one day, your Luo family might be wiped out from Tianya City," Feng Lao urged again.
Hearing Feng Lao’s words, Luo Cheng finally cald down, lowering his head in silence as he walked down from the stone platform.
At this mont, two middle-aged n approached him from below the platform. They flanked him on either side and sighed, saying, "Father, I’ve told you before—if Xiao Yao doesn’t change her ways, she’s bound to bring disaster upon herself soday!"
Although the death of the red-clad young woman enraged the Luo family, they ultimately chose compromise to avoid losing the space tunnel and provoking a force capable of destroying them.
…
After stepping into the space tunnel, Nalan Yanran found herself in a seemingly endless spatial corridor. The walls on either side of the passage were faintly silver, forming an intangible barrier. The corridor itself was about ten ters wide.
At the end of the corridor was a deep, impenetrable darkness. The upper and lower dinsions of the tunnel were similarly shrouded in a chilling darkness. Faint spatial fluctuations occasionally emanated from the void, making the entire passage feel eerily silent, devoid of any sound.
Thanks to their prior experiences in the void space, both Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran adapted imdiately to the spatial corridor without discomfort.
Moreover, this corridor was far safer than the void space. Even Nalan Yanran required no additional protection.
"Xiao Yin, take out the space ship!" Xiao Yi Xian suddenly broke the silence, addressing Xiao Yin.
Hearing this, Xiao Yin flicked her hand, and a small space ship appeared. As soon as the object erged, it expanded rapidly like a fish entering water. Within monts, it transford into a ship several ters long and wide. Silvery threads of spatial energy flowed across its surface, giving it a mysterious appearance.
"This thing is amazing!" Nalan Yanran exclaid in awe.
"Luckily, I’m used to gathering information and enjoy reading ancient texts. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have known about this marvel. Now, our journey won’t be too dull!" Xiao Yi Xian remarked with a hint of relief as she quickly boarded the ship.
Seeing this, Xiao Yin and Nalan Yanran quickly followed.
Previously, during their journey, Xiao Yin had been carrying them directly through the void space—a dark, oppressive environnt where even Xiao Yi Xian needed assistance. The constant strain left all three sowhat fatigued. This ti, however, traveling in the space ship within the stable spatial corridor, they could relax and focus on other activities. They could train, study alchemy, and practice Dou Techniques without worry.
Once Nalan Yanran and Xiao Yin boarded the space ship, Xiao Yi Xian channeled a surge of powerful Dou Qi into the energy input point of the ship.
Imdiately, the entire vessel trembled lightly. Then, with a burst of force from the rear, the ship shot forward like a silver streak, cutting through the dark void at lightning speed.
In the spatial corridor, the ship’s speed was astonishing—almost indescribable, akin to traversing the heavens in a single leap.
As the three sat aboard, they could only see the silvery spatial walls on both sides rushing past at dizzying speeds, blurring into streaks of light. The sheer velocity was srizing.
The silent, dark corridor was montarily illuminated as the silver streak of the space ship sped through, vanishing into the darkness almost as quickly as it appeared—like a solitary traveler in the void.
Spatial tunnels, as they were called, connected two distant spatial points, dramatically shortening the distance between them.
Uncertain how long the corridor extended or how much ti it would take to reach Central Plains, the group settled into the tranquility and imrsed themselves in cultivation.
…
Ti passed quietly in this stillness. After more than ten days, Xiao Yin, standing at the bow of the ship, suddenly brightened with excitent.
"Big Sister Xian, Big Sister Yanran, we’re nearing the exit!" Xiao Yin joyfully called out toward the cabin.
Hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran quickly erged. Their gazes followed Xiao Yin’s, and they spotted a silver ring of light in the distant darkness—the exit of the spatial corridor.
"Finally, we’re about to reach the Central Plains. I wonder where Master and Martial Aunt might be," Nalan Yanran said, her eyes filled with anticipation as she looked toward the silver ring.
Although both Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran carried two Void Jade Talismans each, gifted by Gu He, they refrained from using them recklessly. These talismans were life-saving treasures, and carelessly using them might invite Gu He's disapproval.
"Yanran, Master ntioned that once we’ve made a na for ourselves in the Central Plains, he would co to find us. I also suspect that Master can sense the location of the Void Jade Talismans," Xiao Yi Xian reasoned thoughtfully in response.
As Xiao Yi Xian and Nalan Yanran conversed, the space ship rapidly approached the end of the corridor. In an instant, it shot out from the tunnel and disappeared into the silver light.
