We're Going Back!

The light overhead suddenly dimmed, and everyone quickly realized that the airship had completely entered the temporary tunnel.

Ji Fucang tossed a Spirit Crystal into the drive array of the flying boat's cockpit, and the flying boat's speed immediately doubled, but it also became more stable.

He stepped out of the cockpit and looked at his fellow disciples. "Don't worry, I've already set the flight path. This flying boat is even sturdier and easier to use than the one we brought here. I estimate we'll be back in the Immortal Spirit Realm in less than two days."

Hearing their words, the person the old man had specially arranged to drive their flying boat also chimed in, "Please rest assured, everyone. My master's flying boat is fast; it will definitely get you back safely."

Upon hearing this, Dong Fuzhu smiled and said, "Then thank you very much for your help, senior."

The male cultivator waved his hand. "I'm hardly a senior; I'm merely the captain of the Grand Elder's ship. Please be seated; I need to speed things up."

His reminder prompted the others to quickly grab onto whatever was beside them. As soon as they were ready, a powerful thrust came from the airship. Without even needing to compare, everyone could feel that the speed was much faster than before.

"No wonder it's a wonderful item from Half-Step Human Immortal being. When will I ever be able to own a flying boat like this?" Dong Fuzhu leaned against Sang Ying and couldn't help but sigh.

Sang Ying patted her head. "Then you'd better work hard, so your senior sister can benefit from your success."

Dong Fuzhu chuckled and patted her chest vigorously, "Don't worry, senior sister, I'll definitely work hard to let you benefit from this!"

The transboundary airship wasn't very large, but it was more than enough to accommodate their group.

There were many cabins in the ship's cabin, all of which had already been assigned to the group. Fang Chi and the others were currently packing their belongings in one of the cabins.

They left in a hurry, but they took quite a lot with them.

Because word later spread that everyone had come to help the Black Tortoise Realm, in the days before they left, cultivators and mortals from Crane Islet City kept coming to give them gifts.

Sang Ying and the others naturally refused to accept the items, but those people simply left them at the door and left, leaving them unsure of who to return them to. In the end, they could only accept some of the less valuable items and leave the rest with the city lord of Crane Islet City, asking him to help find their owners.

Even so, the nice things others sent still took up several of their Storage Bag.

Fang Chi and Hai Tingzhou were busy organizing the things in their Storage Bag and didn't come up to the deck to look at the unchanging scenery in the temporary tunnel.

However, not long after the airship sailed smoothly away, Fang Chi ran out of the cabin, his face pale. "Sang Ying, Sang Ying! Something terrible has happened! Something has occurred in the Twin Orchid Realm!"

Along with Fang Chi, a communication talisman suddenly lit up on Sang Ying's waist.

She didn't even have time to check the message on the communication talisman. She rushed forward and helped the flustered Fang Chi up, asking gently, "What happened? Tell me slowly, don't rush."

"My communication talisman suddenly lit up. I picked it up and saw it was a message from my master. She told me that the Twin Orchid Realm is currently under siege by Devil Race, Layered Heavens Palace has decided to perish together with the invading Devil Race. She told me not to go back." Fang Chi gripped Sang Ying's arm tightly, his lips deathly pale. "Sang Ying, what should we do? Is the Twin Orchid Realm really going to be destroyed?"

"Don't panic. This might be a trap set by someone. There are many powerful figures in the Twin Orchid Realm. Fan Nanjun alone shouldn't be able to fight against all the righteous cultivators in the Twin Orchid Realm." Sang Ying suppressed her panic and said softly to Fang Chi.

But before she could finish speaking, Hai Tingzhou, who had followed Fang Chi out, said with difficulty, "One Fan Nanjun won't do, but one Fusheng will."

The two women turned sharply to look at him. Noticing their gazes, Hai Tingzhou gripped the communication talisman even tighter. "I just received a message from my father. He said the new Demon Lord Fusheng and, leading his demon army, has driven our Hai Household to the brink of destruction!"

As if struck by a sudden thought, Sang Ying abruptly grabbed her communication talisman, lightly touched it, and a familiar yet urgent voice immediately came from within:

"Sang Ying, my dear daughter. The Twin Orchid Realm is facing a great calamity. Although the Flowing Light Sword Sect has wronged our entire family, the other beings in the Twin Orchid Realm are truly innocent. Please forgive us for not being able to go to the Black Tortoise Realm to rescue you. We have decided to go to the Twin Orchid Realm to fight against the Devil Race. Jiulian has already led people to the Black Tortoise Realm to rescue you. I believe he will definitely bring you back safely. Sang Ying, remember to take care of yourself. Your father and mother are waiting for the day we can reunite."

From that point on, the voice in the message talisman completely disappeared.

Instead, Ji Fucang shouted from the forward deck, "Junior brothers and sisters, come quick! We've encountered Ten Thousand Daos Born's flying boat! Elder Jiulian has come to pick us up!"

"Our flying boat? It's Elder Jiulian! It really is Elder Jiulian!"

"Senior Sister, come quick! Elder Jiulian is waving at us!"

Amidst the murmurs, Sang Ying silently hung the communication talisman back on her waist.

"What should we do, Sang Ying? What should we do?" Fang Chi's voice was full of helplessness.

Hai Tingzhou also asked in bewilderment, "Sang Ying, is our Twin Orchid Realm really going to disappear?"

"No, that won't happen." They heard Sang Ying's unwavering reply.

"No, it won't," she said again. "The Twin Orchid Realm won't fall into the hands of the Devil Race. We won't go to the Immortal Spirit Realm; we'll go back."

Sang Ying raised her head again, and the burning light in her eyes startled Jiang Zhuoxue, who was standing beside her.

"Let's go back!"

Song Jiaojiao sprinkled the last bit of powder from the medicine bottle, and the bleeding from the female cultivator's wound immediately stopped. However, this also meant that the fellow disciples behind her had no more medicine to use.

She was about to turn her head to ask the female cultivator beside her for some when she met Chen Xiu's gloomy face.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Chen Xiu asked in an unfriendly tone, but her hands didn't dare to stop moving for a moment.

Song Jiaojiao knew Chen Xiu; she was originally an outer disciple and had a good relationship with Su Fuyun. In the past, whenever she bumped into Chen Xiu, he was always arrogant and looked down on other outer disciples because of his senior sister Jiang Yan's good abilities.

But now, this female cultivator, who has always been arrogant, is patiently bandaging the wounds of an outer disciple. Even though her expression is not pleasant, her movements are gentle and tender.

"No, it's nothing." Song Jiaojiao shook her head and didn't say anything more.

But Chen Xiu seemed to have noticed something, and pulled Xiao Yao from his waist and tossed it to her. "Take this and use it. There are still many injured people, don't dawdle here!"

After she finished speaking, she greeted the second injured person.

Song Jiaojiao pursed her lips and reached for the medicine bottle.

Just as she remembered Chen Xiu, she also remembered Jiang Yan. Only that beautiful and gentle female cultivator had perished in the battle against the Devil Race the day before...
