Cloud Bats were originally mutant beasts of the sea. They could enter the water and fly through the sky. Beneath their blue-gray fleshy wings were countless air holes, allowing them to command clouds and ride mist and rosy vapors.
After being captured and killed, their abdomens could be hollowed out and spell talismans refined into them, allowing them to carry people and goods through the sky and water.
The Cloud Bat Airship Chen Mu was riding had been purchased by Jilong Dao from the Qianji Sect at great expense.
The airship had three levels.
The lowest level stored cargo.
The middle level was divided by screens into small compartments, each containing two or three soft couches and accommodating seven or eight people.
The top level was exquisite and luxurious. Only those who had seen through falsehood and cultivated mana were qualified to ride there.
Woooo...
Accompanied by a long cry, a row of pitch-black air holes beneath the Cloud Bat's wings suddenly spewed white clouds of mist.
After a faint tremor, the enormous Cloud Bat Airship slowly rose into the air.
On the second level, inside a compartment by the window.
Chen Mu and Old Hao leaned against the round Fine Jade Window, watching the flat bluestone ground below grow ever more distant.
This was already the fourth day since they had left Tianhe Market.
The Cloud Bat Airship had arrived at Jilong Dao Upper Courtyard, supposedly to pick people up.
Before long, Shang Huan hurried into the compartment.
"I found out. They're picking up an Elder Sun."
"He also brought several hundred Upper Courtyard disciples aboard."
"Now our Supervisor Song won't get to be supervisor anymore." Shang Huan leaned close and whispered to the two of them.
"Who becomes supervisor has nothing to do with little people like us."
