Li Yunji, the president of the Supreme Court of Taixia Country, knew that Jinwu Palace and Iron-Dragon Sect were not to be trifled with. As he was the vanguard of Iron-Dragon Sect, what he did was to stir up a hornet's nest. After Black Face Cheng turned the contradiction between the Supreme Court and Iron-Dragon Sect into that between the Supreme Court and Northeast Military Region, Li Yunji immediately left Youzhou Province by airboat for Xuanyuan Hill.
According to the current situation, if he couldn't take down Cheng Honglie, he couldn't carry out the following plan even if he rolled up his sleeves and did it himself.
After contacting the person who told him to come to Youzhou Province, the person behind him soon made a decision — — now that Cheng Honglie didn't know what was good for him and wanted to cooperate with Jinwu Palace to the end, I will take this opportunity to take down Cheng Honglie first and cut off the wings of Jinwu Palace in Northeast Military Region. After that, I will carry out everything according to the plan. Without Cheng Honglie, it would be easier for me to deal with Jinwu Palace later on.
When Li Yunji left Youzhou Province by airboat, those imperial officers who came here with Li Yunji had already started to write memorials to impeach Cheng Honglie for being domineering and ignoring the laws. Their memorials arrived at the Censorate of Xuanyuan Hill earlier than the airboat through remote-sensing crystals. They started to arouse public opinions in Xuanyuan Hill so as to prepare for taking down Cheng Honglie.
Li Yunji knew that Jinwu Palace would never resign to their doom. Therefore, he had ordered all the provincial courts to dispatch forces to escort them on the way in case of any accident. However, he could never imagine that the moment he entered the territory of Gaozhou Province after leaving Youzhou Province and Yanzhou Province by airboat with those imperial officers, the accident had already happened.
It was the next morning. When Li Yunji was cultivating in his berth cabin, all of a sudden, he felt that the airboat slowed down. Before he had someone ask about the reason, with a loud sound "boom", Li Yunji, who was sitting cross-legged, had been thrown off the soft bed by the great shock from the airboat almost at the same time.
However, as a shadow knight, when Li Yunji sprung up, he floated in the air without any accident. When he changed his face greatly, the airboat carrying them had already landed rapidly.
Li Yunji rushed out of the room and saw a Supervisory Censor lying on the ground in the corridor outside. His head was swollen with a fist-sized bump. He was screaming in pain and could not get up. Li Yunji didn't know what to say.
These imperial censors were not knights. Most of them were frail scholars. Very few of them were above LV 9. As for these imperial censors, the great shock was like being hit by a car. Therefore, many people in the airboat didn't feel good at all.
"What's going on … What's going on … What just happened …" The cabin doors on both sides of the corridor opened one after another. One by one, the inspectors, who looked battered and battered, opened the cabin doors. They looked outside in fear and asked each other.
Li Yunji ignored these imperial censors; instead, he rushed into the command module of the airboat as fast as he could as he roared, "What's going on?"
"Lord, did we … collide with an airboat just now?" A person in charge of the command module told Li Yunji with a gloomy look, "The hull and flight system of the airboat have been damaged. It couldn't fly normally anymore. The airboat is making an emergency landing …"
"How could our airboat collide with another airboat in the sky?" Li Yunji asked.
Airboats had to follow a set of complex flight rules in the sky. The simplest point was that airboats in different directions would fly at different altitudes. Even airboats in the same direction would follow perfect dodging and intersection rules in the sky. Under this set of rules, the so-called collision between airboats could barely happen. It might not happen even once in dozens of years. However, such a thing happened in front of Li Yunji.
"We don't know either. Just now, we found that the airboat was flying towards us from the side at the same height. It intruded into our waterway. We sent a signal to let it avoid; however, it ignored us. When it was going to collide with the airboat, we hurriedly slowed down to avoid it; however, we still collided with it …"
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem From the perspective of the command module, Li Yunji couldn't see the look of the airboat colliding with his own airboat. After hearing such a reply, Li Yunji directly flew out of an exit beside the command module with some knight-level powerhouses of the Supreme Court.
The place where the two airboats collided was a wilderness and woods in the territory of Gaozhou Province. The airboat that collided with the airboat of the Supreme Court was thousands of meters away and was also slowly descending. The hulls of the two airboats were both damaged to different extents. The part from the middle to the stern of the Supreme Court's airboat had been deformed and damaged. Perhaps, the water pipes inside the airboat had been damaged. Right on those damaged parts, the water stored in the airboat was constantly flowing down from the sky.
By contrast, the part from the side to the middle of the bow of the Supreme Court was a bit damaged and deformed; however, it didn't look as severe as that of the Supreme Court.
At the sight of the airboat colliding with the airboat of the Supreme Court, Li Yunji's face turned completely gloomy. Given its grey paint and style, it was a purple-cloud level airboat of the military of Taixia Country. The mark on the airboat indicated that it belonged to God's Will Army, one of the top four armies of Taixia Country.
The airboat of God's Will Army had already parked on the ground.
Li Yunji then flew over there with the powerhouses of the Supreme Court. When the hatch door of the airboat of God's Will Army was opened, an armored major of God's Will Army walked out of it. Watching those knights flying towards him, the major didn't show any fear at all. Instead, he just put his hands on his waist and stood on the ground. Before Li Yunji and his subordinates uttered any words, he had raised his head and berated them, "Who're you? Which sect are you from? How dare you block the waterway, disturb the military affairs and damage the airboat of God's Will Army? How dare you!"
Li Yunji was so furious that his nose almost became crooked.
"Presumptuous! This is Lord Li Yunji, the president of Supreme Court. Why did you crash Lord Li's airboat just now?" A knight on Li Yunji's side hurriedly reproached them.
"Don't fool me with the name of Lord Li in Xuanyuan Hill. This father has not seen Lord Li; neither do I know him. Don't think that you could disguise as members of the Supreme Court in official uniforms. Who's Lord Li? Tell him to show me his official seal!" The major said fearlessly.
Of course, Li Yunji wouldn't show his official seal to prove his identity to a major of God's Will Army. Not until a knight on his side showed the waist plate of the Supreme Court did the major of God's Will Army believe in their identities. However, even though he believed it, he still didn't want to give it up. "In order to prevent demons and Heavens Reaching Church from raiding us, our God's Will Army has already declared that the air zone of Gaozhou Province will be under temporary control this morning. We have to transport military assets to the frontline from Gaozhou Province. How dare your airboat ignore the military order and enter the air zone under military control? I will report it to my superior honestly. You will bear all the responsibilities!"
This was a typical method of using inferior horses to deal with superior horses. Even though Li Yunji was one of the 9 ministers, he couldn't intervene in the military affairs of the top four armies at this moment. Additionally, even if he killed this major, he would not be able to solve the problem; instead, he would bring endless troubles to himself. Of course, it was a bit shameful for the president of the Supreme Court to fight with this major.
Li Yunji's face turned completely gloomy as his eyes flickered. Closely after that, he left an order to a knight on his side using battle qi. Without saying anything to that major, he directly turned around and returned to his own airboat, leaving his subordinates to deal with this matter.
After returning to the airboat of the Supreme Court, Li Yunji directly called the person in charge of the airboat.
"Can our airboat continue to fly?"
"Lord, the airboat could still fly; however, its speed is at most 1/10 of that before. Additionally, due to the great loss of fresh water on the airboat, the water on the airboat needs to be controlled!"
"Can it be repaired?"
"It can be repaired; however, it can't be repaired in the wilderness. Only in Class A cities could it be repaired. Additionally, it would take at least 10 days to half a month to repair it!"
Li Yunji gritted his teeth as he waved his hand to let the person off. Closely after that, he contacted the Supreme Court of Gaozhou Province by remote-sensing crystal and had the Supreme Court dispatch an airboat to pick him up. However, according to the message from the Supreme Court of Gaozhou Province, they didn't have any airboat anymore. The airboat of the Supreme Court had been temporarily requisitioned by the provincial governor of Gaozhou Province yesterday to transport important materials to the frontline together with the God's Will Army. Not only the Supreme Court of Gaozhou Province, all the airboats of the Supreme Court of Northeast Military Region had been requisitioned by the Northeast Military Region or the provincial governor's mansion last night or this morning …
In the end, the Supreme Court of Gaozhou Province even asked Li Yunji out of consideration, 'Lord, do you need the Supreme Court to dispatch an airboat here?'
'Airboat? F * ck your airboat …'
'If I really arrived at Xuanyuan Hill by airboat, it would take me years instead of days.'
Li Yunji was infuriated as he smashed the table in front of him into pieces.
However, there were other major clans and sects in Northeast Military Region, many of which were related to the Supreme Court more or less. Some major clans and sects would almost come to Xuanyuan Hill to make offerings to the Supreme Court every year. Take Mo Clan of Fraternity Palace in Mozhou Province as an instance. Mo Clan's machinery and instruments were extremely delicate; especially some special items which were especially suitable for the needs of the ministers of the Supreme Court across Xuanyuan Hill. Therefore, the Supreme Court would purchase a lot of such items from Mo Clan every year. Therefore, the relationship between Mo Clan and Mo Clan was always good.
Li Yunji told his subordinate to contact the Supreme Court of Xuanyuan Hill. After that, he told the Supreme Court of Xuanyuan Hill to contact Mo Clan and have Mo Clan dispatch an airboat here.
Mo Clan's response was … no response …
After struggling for a few hours, the Supreme Court finally found an airboat which was closest to the president of Taixia Country. However, that airboat was in Quzhou Province. As it was over 60,000 miles from Quzhou Province to Gaozhou Province, that airboat might not arrive there in 2 days …
As one of the 9 ministers of Taixia Country, he fell into the dilemma of being isolated in Taixia Country. Not knowing since when did it become so difficult for him to maneuver an airboat.
On the airboat of the Supreme Court, all the people who knew what was happening felt a chill in their hearts. Even those imperial officers didn't clamor anymore.
Yuan Hua, the most respectable one among the imperial officers, was thrown onto the ceiling of his room and fell down after breaking one of his legs …
'We've only left Youzhou Province for one day. If so, I don't know what's waiting for me on the way back from Xuanyuan Hill.'
…
After enjoying the northwest wind in the wilderness of Gaozhou Province for 2 days, the airboat that was transferred from the Provincial Court of Quzhou Province finally arrived at the side of Li Yunji's group.
Only after 2 days, two grand elders of Heavens Fortune Sect and 300 knights of Heavens Fortune Sect had also arrived at Iron-Dragon Sect, followed by knights of Demons-kill Valley.
On one side were Heavens Fortune Sect and Demons-kill Valley; on the other side were Taiyi Fantasy Sect, Heavens Holding Pavilion and Qionglou Pavilion. The air in Youzhou Province grew increasingly hot while the smell of gunpowder grew increasingly intense.
…
After boarding the airboat that was transferred from the Supreme Court of Qu Province and watching the airboat sailing towards Xuanyuan Hill, Li Yunji's gloomy mood became a bit better. However, this good mood only lasted for less than half a day.
In the evening, when Li Yunji returned to his room in the airboat and was going to lie down, he found that there was something under his pillow. He reached out his hand and took out a letter. Although there was nothing written on the envelope, Li Yunji knew that there was a piece of letter paper in the envelope.
Li Yunji opened the envelope and took out the letter. There was only one sentence on the letter.
— — Demons are everywhere in Taixia Country. Crown Prince Changying was assassinated in Jinzhou Province which was only one step away from Xuanyuan Hill. It's a long way from Youzhou Province to Xuanyuan Hill. As an important minister of Taixia Country, take care!
Reading the average words on the letter, the hands of the chief justice of Taixia Country started to quiver slowly …
