Sword Sovereign of the Celestial Emperor-Chapter 149, The Spaceship Arrives

Just as Chu Ming was resting in the inn, news of the Skull Society being annihilated had already spread outside. According to eyewitnesses, a young man in white clothes had taken members of the Skull Society into their stronghold, followed by complete silence.

The largest force that had entrenched itself in the town for more than ten years was wiped out in a single day, naturally drawing the attention of many martial artists. Even people’s conversations during tea and after meals inevitably revolved around this matter, constantly guessing who that young man was, daring to kill under the eyes of the Black Water Sect.

Chu Ming’s face was not hidden during the fight at the Fulai Inn that day and was seen by many martial artists. Before long, Chu Ming’s face was widely known.

For two consecutive days, Chu Ming quietly cultivated in the inn. He had obtained a large amount of ill-gotten wealth from the Skull Society, causing his assets to skyrocket. After all, it was the accumulation of over ten years by the Skull Society.

Just like that, two days passed quietly. The ships of the Black Water Sect and the Beihua Sect were to arrive today. Chu Ming finished his breakfast early in the inn and headed towards the direction of the Beihua Sect’s ship.

The docking area for the Beihua Sect and Black Water Sect ships usually had several martial artists from both sects stationed there to provide assistance to the arriving and departing ships. Although their strength was not strong, due to the power of the two sects, few dared to provoke them.

Just as Chu Ming left the inn, the inn’s shop servant glanced in Chu Ming’s departing direction and then headed towards the Black Water Sect’s stationed area, the purpose of his move self-evident.

Bang!

As Chu Ming walked on the street, it sounded as if thunder exploded in the sky. Suddenly, a violent roar echoed, causing Chu Ming to look up, and his expression changed.

Not far from the town in the sky, a cyan-colored airship suddenly appeared, moving at an extremely high speed, weaving through the clouds. As it advanced, the clouds were shattered and scattered in all directions. The ship’s momentum was immense. Chu Ming witnessed a Sixth Level Demon Beast that didn’t dodge in time get crushed to smithereens.

"Tsk tsk tsk, the Black Water Sect’s airship has arrived!"

Everyone in the town at this moment looked up at the airship in the sky. Although they had seen it many times, each time their hearts remained inexplicably shocked.

The Black Water Sect’s airship wasn’t large, merely about a hundred meters long and fifty meters wide, which was far smaller than the Cyan Yang Battleship of the Cyan Yang Sect. However, in terms of materials used for manufacturing, the Black Water Sect’s airship used evidently more advanced materials.

Bang!

Simultaneously, a red-colored airship also flew from the horizon, appearing almost at the same time as the cyan-colored airship. The red airship emitted scorching heat, with waves of heat spreading in all directions and spiritual power beginning to boil madly.

"The Beihua Sect’s airship is here too!"

Amid the crowd, someone spoke. The two sects’ airships were made at great cost by master craftsmen from the Black Rock Empire. Generally, attacks from True Dao martial artists would leave no mark on them.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Black Water Sect’s stationed area was in the west of the town, near the Life and Death Gorge, while the Beihua Sect’s stationed area was in the east of the town. Their airships would stay at the docking area for one hour, during which martial artists wanting to cross the Life and Death Gorge could buy a ticket and board the ship.

Chu Ming glanced to his side and saw the martial artist from the Fulai Inn wearing a black hat also heading towards the east of the town.

Most martial artists would choose the Black Water Sect’s ship, but that was not absolute. Several martial artists would also choose the Beihua Sect’s ship because the Beihua Sect’s ticket only cost thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

After an incense stick’s worth of time, Chu Ming arrived at a wide area on the east side of the town. In front, a gigantic airship was docked, exuding an eerie atmosphere. The ship was divided into numerous small rooms, about one hundred in total. At the top of the ship, a flag fluttered with an embroidered eagle, the emblem of the Beihua Sect.

When Chu Ming arrived at the Beihua Sect’s station, many martial artists were already there queuing up to buy tickets. Among those in line was the person wearing a black hat.

Chu Ming stood at the end of the line. But as time passed, more and more martial artists arrived, lining up behind Chu Ming.

After about half a stick of incense, it was finally Chu Ming’s turn. He took out thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring, and the Beihua Sect steward beside him handed him a white Jade Token.

The front of the Jade Token was carved with flowers, fish, birds, and beasts, all appearing lively and vigorous. On the back was a single character, "Bei," symbolizing the Beihua Sect. The arrays inscribed in each Jade Token were created by dedicated Array Masters, making them impossible to forge.

Bang!

Just as Chu Ming was about to board the ship, a black figure suddenly descended from the sky, menacingly releasing an oppressive aura. The aura of True Dao extremity instantly enveloped everyone present.

"What wind brings you here today!"

As the black figure appeared, a venerable voice echoed from a room at the top of the airship, carrying a sense of fading years. Simultaneously, an elder dressed in gray flew out from the ship, his gaze sharp as sword aura.

"I am here only to find someone!"

The black figure revealed itself to be an aged elder as well. His lips were thin, and his eyes occasionally flashed with hawk-like sharpness. Behind him hung a blood-red longsword, shrouded in blood qi like a beast.

"I didn’t expect the Third Elder of the Black Water Sect to come!"

"I wonder what it’s for, but it surely isn’t anything good."

"The Third Elder of the Beihua Sect is also here. If they fight, it will be something to watch."

Two martial artists behind Chu Ming whispered to each other, making Chu Ming’s eyes narrow as a bad premonition arose in his heart.

"Looking for someone? You shouldn’t be here; everyone here belongs to the Beihua Sect, no one you’re looking for!"

The gray-clad elder’s robes fluttered as he spoke indifferently.

"Is that so?"

The black-clad elder murmured, his eyes like two falling suns scanning the crowd. All who met his gaze trembled. Finally, his eyes fixed on Chu Ming.

"It’s him!"

Whoosh!

The black-clad elder’s right hand clawed towards Chu Ming, sending out a terrifying suction force. The sky darkened instantly, and clouds swirled wildly around. Countless clouds flowed through the sky.

Chu Ming’s body tightened, his face changed; the black-clad elder’s strength was too formidable, having reached True Dao extremity. The mere suction force from afar gave him the sensation of being lifted off the ground.
