Rules of Heaven - C97

Peng Yue was taken aback. “How do you know my parents’ names?”

When Chu Ran heard this, his expression changed. After hesitating for a long time, he finally said, “It’s best if you don’t use the name Peng Yue again!”

Peng Yue could tell that something was not right, he frowned and asked, “What’s going on?”

Chu Ran said, “Can your parents tell you about their background?”

Peng Yue shook his head.

Chu Ran said, “Your mother was originally the daughter of an elder of the Pan Clan, and your father was an unknown commoner! That’s not important, what’s important is that your parents are both heaven defying people with mechanical arts! They secretly conceived a very terrifying flying ship. A few years ago, it was precisely for this reason that your parents were forcibly recruited! ”

Peng Yue could not help but open his eyes wide. “What!?” He had never heard of such rumors, but he had never expected that his parents would have such abilities. At the same time he was pleasantly surprised, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Then what about them …”

Chu Ran shook his head and said, “I only know that they were forcefully recruited to study some things. I don’t know where, but it should be near the Stone Tower.”

Peng Yue suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. Originally, when Ding Hong forced him to go to the Stone Tower, he was a little hesitant, but now that he knew about his parents, he decided to go to the tower as well. Peng Yue felt his entire body brimming with energy. There was nothing that could stop him from assembling this gigantic object …

Peng Yue suddenly turned around and shouted at Ding Hong, “Brother Ding, I’ll follow you from now on!”

Ding Hong was standing to the side when the two of them started. He suddenly saw Peng’s mood change in the blink of an eye and couldn’t help but rub his chin, saying: “What are you following me for? I just want you to take me to a stone tower.”

Peng Yue’s eyes flashed with a shrewd light. He chuckled and said, “Anyways, I’m already quite bothered with the area around the Free Towers of Life. It’s also good to follow Big Brother Ding around!”

Ding Hong had naturally heard Chu Ran’s words just now. It was likely that Peng Yue wanted to see his mother regularly at this time, so he didn’t say much about it.

Although Chu Ran’s words were all over the place, Peng Yue didn’t agree because he was the one who had completed most of the airship. He was the one who was most clear on its structure, so he guessed that the airship that his parents had left behind was not the most complete one. Peng Yue’s heart was filled with anticipation. He really wanted to know just what kind of ability that top-secret flying machine that was being piloted by his parents had.

Peng Yue had been building this aircraft for many years, so it was almost completed. However, there were a few key components that he couldn’t purchase, which was why it was left empty today. Now, with the help of Ding Hong, he had successfully installed the last few important areas and was only waiting to be tested.

After the airship was assembled, it was already night time. The sky was filled with twinkling stars. The Milky Way was drifting, and the cool breeze from the dittos blew past. It was a refreshing sight to behold. However, this was only for Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian.

Ding Hong suddenly recalled his threats to Peng Yue this morning. He felt apologetic and said, “Little brother, I was reckless this morning. Please forgive me.”

Peng Yue laughed and said, “Brother Ding is too serious. I should be the one thanking you instead!”

Ding Hong curiously asked, “Oh?” “What do you mean?”

Peng Yue sighed and said, “If it weren’t for your support today, I don’t know when this airship would have been assembled! I’ve always wanted to fly around in this aircraft! ”

Ding Hong pondered for a moment before asking, “Then, are you afraid of the Pan Clan’s blockade? If it’s true, then this trade is extremely dangerous! ” In his heart, he was slightly regretful about pulling Peng Yue in. Originally, this was only a matter between him and Duan Ling Tian, but now so many innocent people had come in. He immediately felt apologetic in his heart.

Peng Yue seemed to be able to read his thoughts. He smiled, looked at the stars in the sky, and said, “Brother Ding, even if you didn’t say that today, I would still have gone there! “Because you gave me enough money so that I wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life. That way, I would be able to fly freely in the sky without any worries.” He looked up at the sky with eyes full of yearning. He could clearly tell that this youth’s heart was filled with a dream that no one knew about.

Looking at his expression, Ding Hong felt relieved in his heart. He also raised his head to look at the stars in the sky and remained silent.

Chu Ran stood alone on the side. He would occasionally look at the two of them and mutter to himself in a low voice, “Sister …”

Duan Ling Tian could see the three people sitting on the mountaintop with a glance from his room’s window, but her eyes only looked at Ding Hong. An inexplicable feeling surged in her heart, causing her to be extremely puzzled.

The night passed in silence, and on the second day, Peng Yue flew the newly constructed aircraft on the mountaintop. This airship was like a shuttle, with a pair of wings that were raised high above its tail. It looked like an enlarged version of a shark.

After Peng Yue entered the aircraft, he raised his hand and took out a pendant that had a strange shaped crystal hanging from it’s neck. He then placed the pendant into the energy slot. During this time, Chu Ran volunteered to fly together with Peng Yue. He saw all of this clearly and looked at Peng Yue’s pendant with a strange expression. He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.

On this day, the heavens themselves had also grown up to be beautiful. There wasn’t any great storm. The drone flipped and shifted in the air. It was much more nimble than the battleship in the sky. The drone was like an enlarged shark treading on water without fear, looking extremely comfortable.

Peng Yue wanted to test out the flying machine, so only Master Pan knew about the people in this small valley. He had long since moved a chair and sat on the mountainside, crossed his legs, and watched with squinted eyes, constantly praising them.

Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian on the other hand stood atop the mountain and watched as the test flight was rather smooth. Just as Ding Hong turned around and was about to speak to Duan Ling Tian, he suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound. The sound was like a piece of metal scraping against an old rock. It gave people goosebumps. It was extremely uncomfortable.

Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but let out a surprised cry.

Ding Hong’s heart trembled. He turned his head to the side and immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He saw that high up in the sky, the airship was swaying up and down for some reason. It was like a bug that had lost its wings, struggling in the air. Just as the drone was about to land on the ground after a few rounds, a few rays of cold white light shot out from both sides of the drone. The white light was only fifty to sixty feet long, and after it appeared, it turned into six dragonfly-like wings that flapped up and down. The flying shuttle also returned to normal. After circling a few times in the air, it turned around and glided to the top of the mountain before stopping.

The moment Aeroplane Chess stopped, the dragonfly-like wings turned into specks of broken light balls in the blink of an eye and returned back into the aircraft.

Duan Ling Tian and Ding Hong glanced at each other before hurriedly arriving at the side of the airship. Peng Yue and Chu Ran walked out of the cabin with pale faces. There was a lingering fear in their hearts.

Ding Hong asked, “What just happened?”

Peng Yue wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead and said, “I’m not too sure either. Just now, there was a very strange energy rampaging about inside the aircraft, cutting off its original ability. This caused it to suddenly lose energy support midway.” He took out a pendant from his neck and examined it closely, not understanding what was going on.

Chu Ran looked at his pendant as if he had some sort of plan in mind before he glanced at the interior of the aircraft. He secretly frowned and lowered his head in silence.

Ding Hong naturally noticed Chu Ran’s abnormality. Light flickered in his eyes as he arrived beside Chu Ran and asked, “You just discovered something, right?”

Chu Ran’s body jolted as he raised his head, panicking slightly.

Upon hearing that, Peng Yue’s eyes lit up, exclaiming, “That’s right! Since you know of my parents’ secretive news, you should know what’s so special about this airship! ”

Chu Ran’s eyes were somewhat lifeless as he bickered bitterly, “That is the secret of the Pan Clan. If I were to reveal it, there will be no chance of survival in the future.”

“Hmph!”

It was Duan Ling Tian who snorted coldly as he stood in the distance and said, “If you don’t speak, then you won’t have a chance to live anymore.”

After a long while, he gritted his teeth and said, “A few years ago, his parents proposed a bold bill, which was to use the blood of the Sky Region’s monk as a fake body of energy and use it to absorb the surrounding spirit energy to automatically replenish the energy. That way, it would save him almost 80% of his energy consumption! Your aircraft must have contained the energy of your parents’ first generation solution, so it just came into conflict with your energy body. ”

Peng Yue was stunned for a moment. Then, he understood and rejoiced. For those of them who were familiar with mechanism techniques, if the mechanism body did not have energy, they would not be able to move it. However, the idea that Chu Ran mentioned before, did it not have an inexhaustible energy body?

Ding Hong and Duan Ling Tian were slightly baffled when they heard this. They had never heard of what exactly those energy balls and energy bodies were. The Mo family and the male loser also wanted to be extremely secretive of the two great mechanisms and techniques in the Sky Region. They would never leak anything out to the outside world.

Chu Ran didn’t finish his sentence. After a while, he continued, “The reason why the Elders Guild wanted the Wind Crystal not long ago was because of this theory. Some people in the tower found that wind crystals could absorb the surrounding energy on their own, and then absorb it as needed. A hundred years ago, there were people who discovered this principle, but no one paid much attention to it. It was only a few years ago when Peng Rui and Liu Yunxin came up with this theory using the Pan Family’s best organ that was able to convince the elders. ”

When Peng Yue heard these words, he immediately admired his parents to the extreme. Before this, he only thought that his parents were ordinary people, but he didn’t expect them to be the Pan Family’s most brilliant clan! Delight filled his heart and he couldn’t help but smile as he looked at Chu Ran in a daze.

Ding Hong did not pay much attention to these matters. He asked, “In your opinion, how can this airship fly normally?”

Chu Ran was the most outstanding organ of the younger generation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been brought out as a group of trusted aides. After hearing Ding Hong’s question, a surge of pride involuntarily arose in his heart. After pondering for a moment, he said, “Even though this is the case, there is a fatal hurdle that makes one have a difficult choice.

Peng Yue came back to his senses and curiously asked, “What checkpoint?”

Chu Ran looked at Peng Yue. After a moment of silence, he said, “After your parents came up with this theory, they insisted that it was far from difficult. They didn’t understand it well and refused to do it.

Peng Yue was taken aback, and couldn’t help but ask, “You mean to say, that energy body within my flying shuttle might be the only one?”

Chu Ran nodded.

Duan Ling Tian, who was standing at the side, slightly frowned. Seeing that they didn’t say anything, he coldly said to Chu Ran, “I’m asking if you can make this thing better, so it won’t be like before.”

Chu Ran had complicated feelings in his heart. After hearing her words, his heartbeat quickened as he said, “I guess that this airship doesn’t need to be infused with any other ability balls to fly. It can be controlled by itself.”

Duan Ling Tian harrumphed. Looking at his expression and attitude, he felt slightly uncomfortable, and couldn’t be bothered to pay attention to her.

When Chu Ran saw her expression, his heart sank.

Peng Yue was young, so he couldn’t understand Chu Ran’s expression. He thought that Chu Ran was being threatened by two other people and felt bitter in his heart. However, when he remembered what Chu Ran had said, he couldn’t help but cheer as he boarded the airplane. After a series of somersault, the airship let out a strange buzzing sound. The six white wings appeared once again, and with a flutter, the airship soared into the sky, becoming several times more nimble than before.

Chu Ran had also gotten rid of his earlier mood as he stared at the flying shuttle. He felt a bit excited as he watched the legendary energy body. Peng Yue once again tried to fly, but was unable to do so due to his extreme excitement. After landing on the ground, he modified the shape of the aircraft so that the two long wings on both sides were only three meters long. This greatly enhanced the power of the wings.

Peng Yue and Chu Ran then discussed for a while and felt that there were no problems with the airship. It could take off safely and travel to the tower at any time. However, what made Peng Yue a bit regretful was that there weren’t any weapons inside the airship.

After discussing it with Duan Ling Tian, he decided to rest for another day and head to the Stone Tower on the third day. Naturally, Peng Yue and Chu Ran would not object.

The next day, Peng Yue packed some food in the small shop and quietly discussed it with old man Pan for a while. On the third day, they all flew towards the tower on the flying ship.

The wind and sand filled the air. The sunlight was hazy under the sand. Sometimes, there was a dense smile on his face, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by a thick sand mist. As a live map, Chu Ran didn’t complain about the weather. On the contrary, he was rather happy about the weather.

According to Peng Yue, the Pan Family elders seemed to have reached an agreement with the Great Black God. The sky had long been sealed off, and if they were to meet the Pan Family’s Sky Battleship patrol, the only path left for them was death. This kind of sandstorm was perfect for them to hide in, it would save them a lot of trouble if they didn’t let the sky battleships patrolling the area.

Peng Yue was extremely excited as he piloted the aircraft. He was only willing to let Chu Ran pilot until his body went limp.

The cabin of this flying ship was very wide; it was around seven to eight Zhang long and three to four Zhang wide. It was not very crowded with only a few people living inside. Duan Ling Tian sat at the furthest corner by himself and concentrated on reading something. It sounded extremely difficult to understand, so he must be cultivating some sort of cultivation technique. Ding Hong was bored to death, so he could only step into the cockpit and gaze outside.

Ding Hong asked, “How long will it take to reach the Stone Tower?”

Chu Ran was currently piloting the airship as he said, “If nothing goes wrong, we should be able to arrive there in a day and a night.”

Ding Hong was astounded. “The Stone Tower and the Free Life Tower are separated by such a great distance?” He naturally knew the speed of this flying machine. In just a blink of an eye, it had already flown seven to eight hundred feet. If that was the case, then wasn’t this stone tower a little too far from the Free Life Tower?

Chu Ran seemed to know the doubts in his heart as he said, “Because the Boundless Ocean is too vast, in order to control all of the Pan Family elders, they built a Sky Tower in the East, West, South, North, and Middle parts of the Endless Sea. The Stone Tower and the Free Life Tower are said to be far apart, but the scope of the Endless Sea is rather terrifying.”

Ding Hong thought that this was indeed good.

It was already dark, and the sky was still filled with yellow sand. He couldn’t tell north from south, but Chu Ran had used some kind of method to determine the right direction.

Just as the drone was searching for a few tall rocks, it suddenly felt the airflow shake. Although the wings were not affected by the airflow, the airflow fluctuated too much, causing the cabin of the airship to shake.

Chu Ran was shocked as he didn’t know what was going on. At that moment, a bright yellow light fell from the sky and shone on the flying vehicle.

A vague voice could be heard from the sky, “The Pan Clan is patrolling the sky’s battleships. They request for you to stop and be inspected.”

After Chu Ran heard this, his whole body shook. He never thought that after going around in such a huge circle, he would still meet the battleship patrolling the sky. He bitterly smiled and looked towards Ding Hong.

Peng Yue had also been woken up by the violent tremor just now. After hearing the sound, he hastily ran to the cockpit. Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, slightly frowned as he walked closer to them, but he was still ten meters away.

Ding Hong thought for a moment, then asked, “What kind of offensive weapons do the sky patrol ships have?”

Chu Ran calculated in his mind and said, “There are twenty cannons and twenty crossbows.”

Ding Hongqi said, “Rocket crossbow?”

Chu Ran said, “This rocket is ten times angrier than normal crossbows. There are also firestone rockets on it. Once it is ignited, it will move like lightning and be extremely powerful.” As he spoke, his entire body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Ding Hong rubbed his chin, glanced at Chu Ran, then turned to Peng Yue and asked, “Can you still drive?”

Peng Yue loved excitement. When he saw Ding Hong’s bright eyes on him, he immediately understood that Ding Hong’s words contained a hint of excitement. He laughed and said, “Driving it for a few more days and nights won’t be a problem!”

Peng Rui’s temperament surprised Ding Hong a little. He burst with pride and said with a smile, “Then let’s see if we can fly faster than his rocket crossbow!”

Seeing Ding Hong’s expression, Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but be slightly dazed. After noticing this expression, he hurriedly turned his face away, his face revealing a rosy red. Ding Hong naturally did not notice her expression. He glanced at Chu Ran and did not say anything.

Peng Yue jumped onto the driver’s seat in high spirits. As his fingers flew through the air, the aircraft gave out a gradually increasing flutter of wings. The cabin shook, and a sudden force pulled everyone back. Chu Ran regained his senses as well. His face was pale as he pointed towards the direction of Peng Yue with his trembling hands.

Above them was a floating sky ship that was much smaller than the Masked Sky Battleship. One of the people on the ship was holding a pipe that was connected to the bottom of the deck, but halfway through his words, he saw the aircraft under the ground turn into a white light and fly forward. This was the first time he saw such a scene. “Quickly chase, quickly chase!” As he spoke, he did not take the tube away. With the patrol ship as the center, the area of five to six hundred feet around him was filled with this person’s screams.

The moment the patrol ship heard this sound, it received an order. Its body suddenly swelled up, and one giant feather-like wings after another extended from the center. With one flap, the patrol ship suddenly accelerated, chasing after the battleship in the sky that had just escaped. In less than a breath’s time, a burst of light rotated in the distance as another five or six cruisers patrolled across the sky, chasing after Ding Hong and Peng Yue’s aircraft.

The wind whistled as its wings flapped. The sky that was originally filled with dancing yellow sand was suddenly filled with sand, exploding as the air currents left behind by the cruisers that patrolled the sky.

After the clump of sand exploded, it turned into colourless fireworks that scattered in all directions. Suddenly, a speck of bright yellow light slowly walked out of the sand mist. The surrounding area was filled with wild wind, but as soon as they drew near the light, they immediately became gentle. The dot of light slowly moved forward, finally revealing the figure of a middle-aged man who was carrying a lantern. This middle-aged man looked extremely amiable and had a warm smile on his face.

The middle-aged man suddenly stopped as he was walking. He raised his lantern and looked in the direction the flying ship had come from with a hazy gaze. He smiled to himself and said, “This child really likes to cause trouble.”

The lantern was held high, emitting a flickering light. The word “shen” on the lantern flickered.

Peng Yue was only able to move half of the maximum speed. He didn’t dare to move the other half because he had discovered a few days ago during the test that something unexpected would happen if he were to move the other half. If there was a super energy circulation, it would immediately explode.

Chu Ran was carefully observing his surroundings at all times and he secretly let out a breath of relief when he discovered that no one was chasing after him. However, before he could finish breathing, a bright light flashed outside the window. However, just as he heard the voice, he couldn’t hear it anymore, and the fire was left far behind.

Chu Ran was frightened and screamed, “They caught up! We’re all going to die, all of us! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die! ”

When Ding Hong saw a man screaming like that, a look of impatience appeared on his face. He swung his fist and ruthlessly punched him in the face. He coldly said, “A dignified seven foot man, how can he be so afraid of death?!”

Although Peng Yue was young, he was still frightened by the fire, but for some reason, that feeling passed in an instant and was replaced with a hundred thousand feet of pride. Just as he was about to laugh out loud, he heard Chu Ran’s ghostly howl, and his heart began to look down on him. Seeing Ding Hong slap him in such a manner, even though his face was filled with sympathy, he couldn’t help but want to punch him.

After Chu Ran was punched, his mind gradually cleared up. Thinking back to how he acted cowardly just now, even though he was panic-stricken, he did not dare to yell again.

Suddenly, there were several flashes of light and one of them just happened to graze the flank of the airship. A ball of fire shot up from the side of their body, creating a loud rumble. It had actually been blown out.

As soon as the opening appeared, strong gales rushed in from the outside. After circling the cabin, the gale flew out again. An enormous suction force formed within the hole.

Duan Ling Tian was originally standing at the back of the group, and the place where the cave entrance appeared was only a few meters away from him. He only heard a surprised cry from her before she was instantly sucked out by the suction force.

Just as she was about to fly out, Ding Hong suddenly flipped over. With one hand tightly holding onto an iron pipe, the other hand tightly grabbing onto Duan Ling Tian’s wrist.

Outside the cabin, the fierce wind howled, and Duan Ling Wan’s hair instantly scattered in all directions. A trace of fear that she had never seen before was revealed in her eyes, and her entire body unconsciously trembled. At this moment, the wind seemed to have turned into a sharp blade, slicing through her body piece by piece. In just a few seconds, her body was covered with tiny, long cuts. Duan Ling Tian didn’t scream like Chu Ran. He only clenched his teeth and silently endured the inhuman pain.

With a ripping sound, Duan Ling Tian’s clothes on her right shoulder were pierced by the wind, and following a few more sounds, half of her clothes were torn apart by the wind. She was wearing very little to begin with. When half of her clothes were torn apart, half of her body would be exposed. A towering jade hill stood tall outside, swaying along with the wind. Even though Ding Hong was skilled at calmness, upon seeing this scene, his mind was in turmoil, and a surge of hot blood gushed into his abdomen. His expression was agitated and he almost let go.

When Duan Ling Tian saw Li Fei’s eyes fixedly staring at his exposed chest, he was instantly extremely embarrassed and had a thought arise in his mind. Her exposed breasts were covered in her left hand. Ding Hong grabbed her right hand and shook it vigorously, trying to escape from his grasp and fall from the plane.

Ding Hong was shocked and quickly regained his senses. Recalling his previous shameful thoughts, he cursed himself in his heart. He concentrated and pulled Duan Ling Tian’s arm, which was on her wrist, and suddenly felt the muscles in his arm twirl. He actually activated the Heavenly Talisman, and with a loud shout, he withstood the pressure of the gale and pulled her in with all his might.

Duan Ling Tian’s eyes were bloodshot. The instant he was embraced by Ding Hong, a dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed it in without hesitation. Ding Hong’s expression changed. He could not help but let out a “hmm”. His eyebrows raised, but he did not say anything. Duan Ling Tian couldn’t help but feel regret when he saw her acting this way.

As soon as Ding Hong thought of it, he knew that she was infuriated by what happened just now. He could only smile bitterly. After he arranged the clothes for Duan Ling Tian, he flipped his hands and pushed her into the front cabin. He then took out the medicine gourd and poured a few pills into it, secretly using the Heavenly Talisman to heal the wound.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had already returned to his senses. When he thought about his previous actions, he felt slightly regretful. Feeling nervous, he hastily looked at Ding Hong. He happened to see him take a pill, and the wound on his chest closed up in an instant. Seeing the miraculous effects of the pill, and believing it to be true, his heart held more respect for the ability of Doctor Xie.

Ding Hong, who was inspecting himself to see if there were any major injuries on his body, noticed Duan Ling Tian’s gaze and raised his head to look at her. After smiling embarrassedly, he went to the front cabin as well. Duan Ling Tian was slightly baffled in his heart when he thought of what happened just now, but he couldn’t describe the feeling of numbness on his face. However, when he saw Ding Hong looking over, his expression was still ice-cold, and after sweeping a glance at him, he stood at the side in silence.

Peng Yue and Chu Ran naturally didn’t see what happened just now. Seeing that the two of them were safe, Peng Yue’s hanging heart finally relaxed. Chu Ran’s pupils constricted and his body couldn’t help but tremble. Suddenly, he jumped up and shouted, “It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault! Why did you come to the Boundless Ocean? Why?! “If …”

Suddenly, the flying shuttle shook violently. Chu Ran, who was standing on the other side and couldn’t hold on to any handrail, was thrown to the opposite side of the airship. Coincidentally, Chu Ran’s head hit the ground, and with a groan, he fell to the ground.

Ding Hong was silent. What Chu Ran said just now was not wrong. If he hadn’t come to the Boundless Ocean, then so many things wouldn’t have happened to Chu Ran. However, there was nothing he could do about it. He touched Chu Ran’s neck and discovered that he was still breathing. He grabbed Chu Ran’s neck and threw him into a bag. When he thought about the violent shaking just now, he had a bad premonition. He asked Peng Yue, “What happened just now?”
