Encounter in Flight

They left Qinmeng using simple tools for a considerable period of time, but there was no group in human society stronger than the one they are in now.

Zhang Xuezhou was still more than 300 miles away from the strait between the two continents when the time for his voyage began.

According to normal procedures, he can safely return to the other world.

After several attempts, Zhang Xuezhou found it difficult to travel between the two locations. He was simply too far from the Scarlet Alliance State's Sinkhole No. 2, and it was impossible to travel between them anytime and anywhere as Donghua had when it was under control.

"This is too restrictive!"

Although it was expected, the reality still presented some inconveniences.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuezhou had conducted extreme time tests in the past and knew that he could only last for a maximum of ten days.

Even without using transportation to return to the Scarlet Alliance State, this amount of time would be enough for Zhang Xuezhou to fly back.

"What's wrong?"

"I need to get back to the sinkhole to lie down. We might need to speed things up!"

"Do you want to go back alone?"

Having learned about Zhang Xuezhou's situation over the past few days, Ren Anran knew very well that everyone needed to temporarily leave the Qinmeng Continent and wait for Qinmeng to stabilize before observing the situation again.

It's difficult for anyone to keep up with Zhang Xuezhou's pace right now, which is related to their respective strengths, but that doesn't mean everyone is useless. As long as Ren Anran understands the relevant information, she'll know how to lead the team.

Even without Zhang Xuezhou's command, Ren Anran knew what to do.

The needs may vary depending on the time period, such as providing rear support, launching attacks from multiple directions, or cooperating with Zhang Xuezhou to suppress key targets. However, the most important thing right now is to evacuate safely.

Watching the spider swarms migrate like returning to their nests, everyone knew that the spiders that had invaded the Aomeijia Alliance were constantly returning.

Although it is unclear whether the spider swarms will recur in the future, the current results are satisfactory, and everyone should take advantage of the opportunity to stay as far away as possible to avoid being attacked by the spider swarms.

"Don't worry about us. The worst-case scenario is that the Seven Spiders will ask us to go back!"

Zhang Xuezhou can deter the Seven Spiders within the group, thus ensuring everyone's safety. However, he also risks delaying the journey due to the delays caused by the time-wasting maneuver. In the event of unforeseen circumstances, further delays may occur.

Ren Anran suggested that Zhang Xuezhou return to China alone. Given Zhang Xuezhou's relationship with the Seven Spiders, the group would either return safely to the Aomeijia Alliance or be forced by the Seven Spiders to return to the Spider God Cave, thus restraining Zhang Xuezhou's cooperation as much as possible. There were almost no other options.

As long as safety can be maintained, Ren Anran feels she can accept the risks.

This might even allow them to access some of the changes in Qin Meng, thus avoiding the trouble of exploring again in the future.

"Alright!"

He lowered his head and continued to discuss with Ren Anran, and finally handed over the driving seat of the mountain bike to Ren Anran.

Zhang Xuezhou lowered his voice, and his body floated into the air before quickly rising into the sky.

With nearly half of his Law Power remaining, he could fly thousands of miles. If he could recite the "Treatise on Vast Righteous Qi" to guide his energy, he could recover one-third of his Law Power. Zhang Xuezhou would then be able to easily reach important cities in the Aomeijia Alliance, transfer to air transport, and finally take an Airbus from the Scarlet Alliance State back to Western Capital City.

The overall journey would take two to three days, but Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache. He felt that he needed to make some adjustments to the travel time, otherwise it would be difficult to cope with long-distance operations in Qinmeng in the future. However, the other world was not peaceful, and was even more risky than this world.

He and the new emperor had only just eliminated the high risks brought by Daojun, and had not yet defeated the Xiong State. Any carelessness could lead to disaster.

The situation left Zhang Xuezhou in a bit of a dilemma. He had never attempted to adjust the tree-chair transition time before, and he was unsure whether he had made the right adjustments and whether he could reverse the time adjustment in the future.

"Heaven and earth possess Vast Righteous Qi, which manifests in various forms, becoming rivers and mountains below, and the sun and stars above..."

While contemplating what he needed to do, Zhang Xuezhou chanted as he released the Cloud Soaring Technique, thus replenishing the Law Power within his body.

"I never expected the Devil Lord to have left!"

"That Old Devil has terrified us for centuries!"

"His departure makes us the strongest!"

"That's right, from now on we can roam freely across the world!"

Let's find some fun!

"How about sacrificing to a nation to extract some soul water to nourish the body?"

"Great idea!"

Something's up!

"A strange world is sending us coordinates, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

It's gone!

"Search over there in the void!"

Zhang Xuezhou had previously received fragments of spiritual fluctuations while reciting "The Vast Righteous Qi," and these fragments were like messages left behind in a special space, which he deciphered when he Jieyin.

He showed no surprise at receiving spiritual information again. It wasn't until a vague feeling of searching and being probed welled up in his mind that Zhang Xuezhou quickly became alert and severed the connection between the "Vast Righteous Qi" and the spiritual message.

Previously, it was residual information; now it's genuine communication, even an attempt to guide and locate Zhang Xuezhou.

Why didn't this kind of traction and positioning happen when they recited the scriptures in the Three Realms?

"Could it be that Hongjun used some kind of protective method?"

"To be honest, I've always wanted to seek guidance from Hongjun, but unfortunately, it's difficult to meet him. Yuanshi Tianzun has repeatedly failed to reach him at Zixiao Palace, so I'm afraid going there would be no difference!"

"Going there will cause me to forget the name Hongjun, making it difficult to recall many things. This is too troublesome!"

The strait passed quickly, and the desolation and ruin of the northern lands of the Aomeijia Alliance came into view.

Zhang Xuezhou glanced down and realized that the more he went up, the more things he encountered, many of which were beyond his control.

"Ancestor!"

As he continued to soar through the air towards major cities of the Aomeijia Alliance, Zhang Xuezhou heard the sound of mental turmoil echoing in his ears once again.

His heart skipped a beat, and then he quickly looked up at the sky.

"Ancestor, wait for me!"

It wasn't until the sound came from afar again that Zhang Xuezhou realized it didn't originate from any strange extraterrestrial being.

He looked at the blue light appearing in the distance, then at the distance closing in, and then at the snow-white longsword he was holding.

The knife was pure white, and when Zhang Xuezhou wielded it, it resembled a white streak of light across the sky, making it a fairly distinctive feature.

The other person didn't recognize him, but rather the knife in his hand.

Unfortunately, Zhang Xuezhou's speed in short-distance leaps was inferior to his opponent's.

He watched as Hu Yu's figure drew ever closer, finding it difficult to shake off. He felt overwhelmed by the many unpleasant things that had befallen him recently, even though he had escaped Qin Meng, he still encountered Qin Meng's fire meteor creature.

"Ancestor, what brings you here... it's you?"

"Um?"

Zhang Xuezhou slowed down his flight speed, intending to provoke Hu Yu and try to get him to unleash his wind, fire, thunder, Lightning Technique spells so he could counterattack as quickly as possible. Just then, Hu Yu exclaimed in surprise, as if he had recognized Zhang Xuezhou.

To be honest, Zhang Xuezhou had seen Hu Yu several times, but each time he had always sneaked away and never faced Hu Yu directly. He was quite curious about how Hu Yu had recognized him.

"Aren't you that useless... good-for-nothing guy on the bus?"

Hu Yu hesitated for a moment.

He had a good memory and still remembered Zhang Xuezhou's face. After all, Zhang Xuezhou was the person he had been investigating when he lost Dingkui, and the few clues he had obtained at that time made it hard for him to forget.

The difference is that last time Zhang Xuezhou was lying in the carriage and was so frightened by their presence that he fainted. This time, however, he is carrying the Wind and Thunder Blade, and his flying ability requires him to use all his strength to catch up.

For a moment, Hu Yu almost doubted that he had mistaken the person for someone else, but after sniffing them several times and identifying their scent, he realized that they were definitely the same person.

The transformation from a useless person to a powerful figure is something even Rao Huyu, with his boundless imagination, could hardly comprehend.

If he had to find a reason, Hu Yu thought it was because the elders in his Lineage had taken a liking to the seemingly useless person on the other side and thus used many precious treasures to transform him into a successful person.
