Chapter 435: The Catastrophe of Chiyu
In the Yuanming Inn, Shi Xuan and Zhou Xuanyong were sitting cross-legged and practicing with their eyes closed. Heavy footsteps sounded outside and the door creaked open.
The two of them opened their eyes and were startled when they saw the person coming. Then their expressions changed slightly: "Fellow Daoist Peng, what's wrong with you?"
I saw that Peng Wanli was extremely pale, with traces of blood on his clothes, his bun was slightly loose, he was panting slightly, and he looked very embarrassed.
Peng Wanli shook his head: "It's a disaster. We settled in a mountain forest, but we didn't expect several warships to pass by and attack each other. I led my disciples to escape, but the warships were in the same direction as our escape. I was affected by their attacks.
Suffered some injuries.”
When Shi Xuan and Zhou Xuanyong heard this, their expressions changed slightly, and even Peng Wanli became like this. You can imagine the plight of the remaining disciples.
The people brought out this time were all elite disciples of the sect. The original intention was to let them see the world and understand the situation on the Qinghai Islands.
Who would have thought that first they would be plundered by a skeleton ship, and then hit by gunfire from a warship? It would be a disaster that never comes singly.
If these disciples suffered heavy casualties, it would be difficult for them to return to the sect.
The two people quickly asked: "How are the other disciples?"
Peng Wanli shook his head: "At that time, there were more than ten warships and chariots. Everything they passed was annihilated, and they were rushing towards our direction. In a hurry, I didn't pay that much attention, and flew all the way.
Escape, everyone else is behind me."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was only a roaring sound. The three of them looked at each other with horror. This is the headquarters of the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce. Could it be that those warships came over without any scruples?
The three people hurriedly left the room and saw a bustling crowd of people standing outside Yuanming Inn and on the entire Chamber of Commerce Street. They all looked shocked and stared out of the light curtain in shock.
At this moment, the entire castle was enveloped by a huge blue light curtain. Outside the light curtain, more than ten warships were chasing each other, the sun was shining brightly, and cannonballs were flying.
The huge light curtain was affected by it, like water ripples, and the runes flowing on the light curtain bloomed with light.
Inside the castle, the escaping light flickered, and a large number of chamber of commerce personnel were running back and forth with solemn expressions.
The city wall was lined with Guanjia Chamber of Commerce personnel, and on the streets, chariots took off from the arsenal, loaded with hundreds of feet of magnetic cannon, and headed towards the city wall.
These chariots are obviously not as good as the warships chased outside. They are much smaller in size. The warships traveling outside are all thousands-foot wind spirit ships.
The chariot in the Chamber of Commerce is only three to four hundred feet in size.
There was a lot of murmurs and shouts in the castle.
Several rays of light passed by and landed on the east city wall, revealing the figures of several men and women. The leader was a man with a Chinese character face, a tall figure and bright eyes.
Everyone on the city wall bowed and saluted.
"What's going on?" the man asked, looking at the huge warship outside.
"It's the warships of the Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect. They got into a fight for some reason." The old man with white beard and hair replied.
A beautiful woman behind the man frowned and said, "Why are the Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and Kuiyuan Sect here?"
The man said: "Go on, no one can rush back without my order."
"Yes." A person next to him responded, and with a flash of light, he went to the left and right sides of the city wall and delivered the orders one by one.
"The Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect are far away in the interior of Qingzhou. How did they come here?"
"Looking at this posture, with both hands raised, there will definitely be a lot of casualties. I wonder how the merchant alliance will handle this matter? I'm afraid it won't end well?"
"Why are they fighting? The Yuhua Chamber of Commerce and the Kuiyuan Sect are not in the same sphere, so there should be no serious conflict of interest!"
"I don't think it's as simple as a conflict of interest. It's just the entanglement of interests that doesn't lead to such a big fight. There must be other deep-seated reasons."
Everyone behind the man on the city wall started talking.
The light curtain was slightly distorted, and the rune's light was greatly reduced, but fortunately it was not hit by direct artillery fire, so it was able to withstand it. The warships and chariots in the high altitude gradually moved away, heading west, until they disappeared.
………………………
The waves receded and everything returned to calm. Under the river, a figure drifted with the waves. The broken bones of its body recovered bit by bit. The sunken chest and blurred flesh and blood fell off piece by piece. The bone meridians were reconnecting and the flesh and blood were slowly growing.
.
………………
It was getting late and the moon was rising in the east. In the Yuanming Inn, Zhou Xuanyong pushed the door open and saw Shi Xuan. Peng Wanli cast a questioning look on him. He shook his head slightly: "I searched again and couldn't find their whereabouts."
, think about it already..."
After saying that, they sighed and the three of them fell silent.
After the warships outside the Chamber of Commerce's formation sailed away, the disciples returned to the inn one after another, with only five of them not returning.
The three of them went out to search, but in the end they only found three bloody corpses. The whereabouts of two others were unknown, namely Qian Yizong Tang Ning and Shui Yun Zong Su Yanluo.
It had been a full day and the two of them had not returned yet. It was obvious that an accident had occurred. As for the body not being found, this was normal. Under the influence of the power of this level of spiritual weapon, anyone who came even slightly closer would be crushed into powder.
The three of them knew it well, but they did not reveal it. They still looked for it again with a sense of luck, but found nothing.
……………………
Tang Ning slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a clear blue sky with floating white clouds.
He felt weak all over and dizzy. He didn't even have the strength to move his fingers. The sound of water rushing around him was all around him.
He drifted with the water waves, his body was very tired and sleepy, and he slowly closed his eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, he opened his eyes again and found himself in a dark room.
Surrounded by crumbling walls, he was lying on a wooden bed, with a burning stove under the bed.
Footsteps sounded outside the house, the door opened, and the sun shone in, making him feel very dazzling.
A wrinkled and kind-hearted old lady came in carrying a bowl of dark potion. Seeing Tangning open her eyes, she said happily, "Brother, you finally woke up."
It seemed that she had pulled herself out of the current. Tangning still remembered the previous incident. She was drifting in the raging river, but now she was in a house. Apparently, someone had rescued her.
"Old man, where is this?" Tang Ning asked, her voice was extremely hoarse.
The old lady said: "This is my home. When I was washing clothes by the river, I saw you floating in the water, so I called my old man and fished you out of the river. Seeing that you had been unconscious, I placed you here.
.You are finally awake."
Tangning nodded and said, "Thank you very much. How many days have I been in coma?"
"It's been more than ten days. If you weren't still alive, we would have thought you were dead! Let's not talk about this for now. Just drink this medicine! My old man went up to the mountain to collect it. He said you were in the water.
I soaked in it for too long and got dampness and cold syndrome." The old lady said and handed him the decoction in her hand.
Tangning couldn't refuse the two old men's wishes and drank the soup in one gulp. He was still very weak and his limbs were weak. However, this was not due to his body, but due to the depletion of spiritual energy in his body.
After he finished drinking the decoction, he was about to ask questions when a gray-haired old man walked in from outside and said happily: "I heard someone talking inside. I guess my brother finally woke up. How is your health? Are you okay?"
Tang Ning said: "Thank you two old people for helping me. I won't thank you enough for your kindness. I hope you can repay me in the future."
The old man said: "Brother, you don't have to be polite. We just happened to meet each other, and I have great blessings. If anyone else had been wandering in the water for so long, I'm afraid they would have died long ago."
Tang Ning said: "I don't know where this is and when is it now?"
The old lady replied: "We are in Nanyue Kingdom, and today is the eighth day of October."
On the eighth day of October, he had been in a coma for two months. Tang Ning thought to himself, as for the Nanyue Kingdom, he did not go into details. It must be a secular kingdom on Tianfu Island. If he could rush back to the Yuanming Chamber of Commerce as soon as possible,
Peng Wanli and the others may not have left yet.
As soon as he thought of this, he wanted to start immediately. Just as he was about to get up, he found that his body was out of control and he couldn't get up.
Seeing him struggling to get up, the two old men quickly held him down and said, "Brother has just woken up. It's better to rest for a while. If there is anything urgent, it won't be at this moment. The body is the most important thing. If the root of the disease is left, it will be fine."
Oh no."
Tang Ning was pushed lightly by the two men and was unable to move. She couldn't help laughing at herself and asked, "Do you two old people know where the Yuan Ming Chamber of Commerce is?"
"What's going on?" the old lady asked in confusion.
Tang Ning smiled. She was really confused. These two old people were obviously ordinary people. How could they know the location of the Yuan-Ming Chamber of Commerce? So she said, "It's nothing. I said something wrong."
The old man said: "If I have anything to worry about, I can help you find out."
Tangning shook her head and said, "Thank you both for being nice. I'm a little tired and want to take a rest."
"Okay then! Brother, have a good rest and we won't disturb you. If you are thirsty or hungry, just call out." The old man said, and the two of them left the house.
Tang Ning lay down for a while and felt her strength gradually returning, so she stood up and sat cross-legged, and began to breathe in and out, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Invisible and intangible spiritual energy from all around surged toward his body. After about an hour or two, the spiritual energy in his body recovered a little. Except for his face being slightly pale, his whole person was full of energy.
He untied the spirit beast bag around his waist and took a look with his spiritual consciousness. He saw that within a small area, the little white snake's body was curled up into a ball. It was covered with bruises and blood, but fortunately it was still breathing. The little white snake seemed to have entered a kind of state.
It is in a deep sleep state. It is unknown whether he has lost consciousness and passed out or is seriously injured and is actively sleeping.
When Tangning saw this, she was both happy and distressed.
He had already expected that something happened to the little white snake. Otherwise, if he had been wandering for more than two months, the little white snake would have come out of the spirit animal bag to protect him. How could it be picked up by the old couple? It must have been affected as well.
At this moment, seeing his scars and bloody appearance, I felt indescribably uncomfortable.
The little white snake has been raised by him since he was a child. In his heart, he not only regards it as a spiritual beast, but also his most loyal friend and partner in fighting side by side. However, this time he suffered this unreasonable disaster with him.
