Chapter 296 Unbelievable

Flames continued to blaze as the Violet Hero Battleship rocked and crumbled apart.

However, it didnt fall or collapse in the end. Instead, it turned around and disappeared into the distance while swaying like a drunken man.

Lin Xun sighed inwardly and put away the No-Nonsense Bow.

He could only blame himself for designing the Violet Hero Battleship to be that powerful. As long as the aeth engine wasnt fatally damaged, the ship would never collapse.

Given Lin Xuns current ability, he couldnt find an opportunity to strike the Violet Hero Battleships aeth engine.

Then again, if the Violet Hero battleship was easily destroyed, it would be due to Lin Xuns poor design.

He felt helpless. I was the one who designed the outstanding little battleship but it is now being used against me. Even the thought of it is absurd.

MotherMother

Suddenly, the little girl yelled out faintly, which snapped Lin Xun out of his thoughts. He glanced around and quickly chose a path to head down the mountain.

He had fought off the enemy for now and it was best to use the time to tend to his injuries. As for the little girl Luoluo

He would never leave her!

The Forbidden City.

Cheerful chatter echoed in the old mansion.

Well, once this mission is over, Im going to get drunk at the Thousand Gold Smile. Many women are waiting for me there, hahaha.

Whats so fun about brothel women? I have asked someone to pick up a group of Magi Brute Race women from the slave market a while ago. At that time, we can try what foreign women taste like.

You guys only care about women. But Im different from you guys. The clan has already arranged a top-secret realm for me to train in. I will go into closed-door cultivation once we complete this mission and prepare to attack the Spirit Sea Stage.

The youngsters beamed and laughed as they chatted about their plans after the mission. Even their conversations were full of competitive spirit.

This was the style of most wealthy children. They had to compete with each other whether it was in eating, drinking or cultivation.

Everyone, no matter what you all are going to do, dont forget that there is a celebration feast. If someone doesnt come, dont blame me for unfriending them. Chi Cangmei seemed to be in a very good mood. It was rare to see her make a joke and make everyone laugh.

Bang!

Suddenly, the door slammed open and a guard sped in, yelling, This is bad! A message from the front line says the target isnt dead!

What?

The joyous atmosphere abruptly turned heavy and depressing. They all looked at each other in dismay, finding it hard to believe what they had just heard.

That guy survived the bombardment from a Violet Hero Battleship?

How is that possible!?

What the hell is going on?

Chi Cangmeis face was as cold as ice and her clear eyes as sharp as knives.

The guard shuddered, gulped, and was about to say something when another guard rushed over in a panic and almost ran into Chi Cangmei.

Look at you, why are you panicking? Chi Cangmei scolded.

The guard cried, Miss, its bad. The battleship, Violet Hero Battleship, that was dispatched to the Maple Night Mountain Range has been severely damaged and almost destroyed!

Everyone looked dumbstruck and froze like lightning had struck them. Even the Violet Hero Battleship is damaged? Howis that possible!?

Every one of them was terror-stricken and was in no mood to talk or joke around anymore.

Is there a written account? Chi Cangmei asked with a deep frown. She took a deep breath, suppressing her unease and bewilderment.

The guard swiftly took out the Wind Shadow Sparrowhawk and pinched its throat. It quickly spat out a glistening bead.

The bead spun in mid-air, casting a light screen in the air. The screen started to flash with images showing Lin Xun slaughtering a group of cultivators while carrying a little girl on his back.

He isnt dead!

The faces of the assistants became overcast.

Even Chi Cangmeis face clouded over. She was certain that their mission would succeed after the Violet Hero Battleship was dispatched, but who would have thought that their target would miraculously survive the battleships attack!?

Soon, the light screen showed the explosion of the Violet Hero Battleship. Even just watching what happened from the light screen made the assistants jump up in fear and their eyes widened with disbelief.

Thats the Violet Hero Battleship. How could a Human Dipper cultivator damage it?

The light screen didnt show how Lin Xun achieved that, but Chi Cangmei and the others were certain that the Violet Hero Battleship had sustained heavy damage!

When the light screen faded, the atmosphere had turned deathly still and suffocating in the room.

They had exploded a rune shuttle but failed to kill their target. Instead, they allowed their target the opportunity to heavily damage their Violet Hero Battleship. Everything that had happened was too absurd and unimaginable.

However, it was the truth!

Could their target be an invincible monster?

Damn it, damn it someone fumed.

How could that happen? That guy isnt a Spirit Sea cultivator, how can he be that strong?

Could someone have secretly helped him? someone speculated.

But Chi Cangmei immediately disagreed, Impossible!

However, she didnt explain the reason.

But what the hell is going on? Many people looked glum.

Now is not the time to think about that. Instead, we need to plan what to do next! Chi Cangmei said coldly.

We have almost lost two hundred elite cultivators in total and a Violet Hero Battleship. The loss isnt particularly serious, but the target is very strong so we have to treat him seriously.

Princess Mei, what do you think we should do? All assistants turned to look at Chi Cangmei.

Chi Cangmei pondered for a moment but she looked more and more troubled. Inexplicably, she thought of Xu Qianjing, and she couldnt help but regret letting Xu Qianjing leave so easily

However, Chi Cangmei felt no guilt for sending Xu Qianjing away.

She knew very well that someone like Xu Qianjing only helped her to repay a favor. Even if he were to stay, she couldnt possibly control him.

Chi Cangmei suddenly remembered something and asked aloud, By the way, did Xu Qianjing make any arrangements or preparations regarding the targets plan to cross the Maple Night Mountain Range?

The assistants exchanged awkward glances with one another. They had been very displeased with Xu Qianjing for a long time. They had only ridiculed him and had never thought to ask Xu Qianjing about his plans and arrangements.

Seeing this, Chi Cangmei couldnt stop her temper from rising, but she managed to suppress her anger in the end. From now on, you all will do your best to help me collect intelligence and formulate tactics. Whereas, I will issue orders.

After a pause, she restored tranquility to her face and said indifferently, Unless the target is dead, no one is allowed to leave here without authorization!

Everyone trembled inwardly and stayed silent.

In a remote and cramped cave in Maple Night Mountain Range.

A fire was about to burn itself out while the smell of barbecue lingered in the air.

Lin Xun sat cross-legged on one side, watching the little girl Luoluo sleep on a soft animal skin. He breathed a sigh of relief.

The moment the little girl woke up, she cried for her mother and Lin Xun did everything to soothe her. He ate barbecued meat with her and then put her to bed.

Luoluos mother was very unlikely to have survived. Lin Xun felt incredibly guilty about her mothers death but also doted on Luoluo. How would he not take good care of her?

However, Lin Xun felt a headache coming on at the thought of the many dangers he would face along the way because he didnt know how to settle Luoluo.

He didnt want a four-year-old little girl to face danger with him.

After giving it a long and hard thought, Lin Xun still couldnt think of a way. In the end, he shook his head and decided to forget it for the time being.

After extinguishing the fire, Lin Xun activated the alarm device, placed it at the entrance of the cave, and set up a rune formation to conceal their auras. Only then could he relax and tend to his injuries.

He had many kinds of pills and medicine on him. If he made good use of time, he estimated that he could heal in around five or six days.

As a result, Lin Xun stayed in the Maple Night Mountain Range to rest and recover. In addition to recovering, he took care of Luoluo every day.

A three to four-year-old child needed company the most, but Luoluo had to suffer from disasters and lose her mother. She was no doubt emotionally vulnerable.

To prevent Luoluo from being too heartbroken, Lin Xun summoned Jiujiu, who was in deep slumber, to his palm and let Luoluo play with it.

Unexpectedly, it had a miraculous effect. Luoluos eyes lit up when she saw Jiujius soft and round body and cute and silly face.

After Lin Xun had urged, ordered, and told Jiujiu to play with Luoluo, it had a lot of fun.

Lin Xun was overjoyed. He could concentrate on recuperating with Jiujiu taking care of Luoluo.

After seven days, Lin Xuns injuries had completely recovered. He immediately left the area with Luoluo.

Luoluo, can you promise me one thing?

Huh? Big Brother, what is it?

If we run into bad people on the way, you must close your eyes. Otherwise, you will be frightened.

Okay! Ill do whatever Big Brother says!

Luoluo is such a good girl. Big brother will buy you a lot of toys in the future.

I dont want it. I just need Jiujiu with me.

Uhsure.

Lin Xun carried Luoluo across the rugged and steep mountain path of Maple Night Mountain Range. Along the way, he inadvertently thought of Xia Zhi as he talked to Luoluo. I wonder if she is doing well?
