A group of more than a thousand people exited the city through the south gate. Then, they took out a flying magic treasure that looked like an airship.
This flying magic treasure was a high-grade divine artifact. After Guan Yiyuan took it out, it expanded in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it became a giant airship that was nearly a thousand feet long and more than two hundred feet wide.
"Everyone, come in."
Guan Yichuan took the lead and jumped into the airship. Then, he waved to everyone.
Under Guan Yichuan's supervision, more than a thousand Wildfire cultivators entered the airship one after another. Then, they each chose a seat and sat down.
Although more than a thousand people had entered the airship, it was still not crowded at all.
Not long after, Guan Yichuan led a few unfamiliar cultivators into the airship and said to everyone, "These people are here to help us complete the mission. In this mission, I hope that everyone will listen to the command and take care of each other."
Although they were here to help, Guan Yichuan didn't introduce them to Zhang Tie as usual. Instead, he sat with them at an obviously spacious and luxurious table in the front of the airship. There was even a table of food and drinks on the table.
The airship slowly rose into the air and then flew toward the east of Duhu City. It was getting faster and faster, like a meteor with a long tail.
No one knew what the mission was, but their expressions were still relaxed. After all, there were two Divine Monarchs on the airship.
When the airship stabilized, Guan Yichuan sat at the table and drank and chatted with the unfamiliar cultivators.
At this time, a transparent light curtain fell and separated Guan Yichuan and the others at the front of the airship. Ordinary mercenaries could see them but could not hear what they were saying.
"These people are the key to this mission. We have to escort them to Cloud State City," Miss Jing said in a low voice.
"Didn't Guan Yichuan just say that they were invited to help?" Zhang Hai asked, puzzled.
"Haha, that's just a cover. He was worried that someone in this mercenary group would leak the secret," Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"So it's just an escort mission. I thought we were going to hunt Divine King stage demon beasts," Zhang Hai said disinterestedly.
"Kid, is your brain filled with paste? Do you really think we can kill a God King Stage Demon Beast? "Xiong Meng scolded Zhang Hai.
Zhang Hai pouted and didn't say anything.
"Will there be any danger along the way?" Xiong Meng asked with concern.
If there was no danger and the journey was peaceful, Miss Jing wouldn't have had the chance to control Guan Yichuan.
"There should be. According to the information provided by the steward, these employers are members of a declining mid-tier family in Du Hu City. This time, they may have brought many parangons and their family's many years of collection with them. Their family originally had a very strong mercenary group, but during a mission, almost all of the experts had fallen, causing their family to gradually decline. Now, only a few of them were left. All of their family's treasures should be with these people. "
Miss Jing paused for a moment before she continued, "The reason they left the city is most likely because they've been targeted by some large clan or faction. Although this trip is very confidential, it's inevitable that we'll be discovered. It's very likely that we'll be attacked on the way. "
This airship was a high-grade divine artifact, so it was extremely fast. Ordinary flying demon beasts would have a hard time stopping it. It flew very smoothly and didn't feel the slightest bit of turbulence.
Gradually, the Wildfire cultivators in Du Hu City, who didn't know anything, looked very relaxed. They didn't know that they were already on a mission and could encounter danger at any time.
Guan Yichuan, who was sitting at the front of the airship, didn't look very nervous either. He had been drinking with his employers and replenishing the airship with parangons from time to time.
One day, two months after leaving Du Hu City, Guan Yichuan's relaxed expression turned slightly serious. This was because there were countless flying demon beasts in front of them. They gathered together like a black sea.
"Why are there so many flying demon beasts gathered here? This route should be relatively safe. There shouldn't be so many flying demon beasts here. "
Miss Jing also frowned. The appearance of these ferocious beasts surprised her.
"No matter what, everyone should be careful. The flocks of flying demon beasts will definitely not let our airship pass easily. There might be a fierce battle in a while," Xiong Meng reminded them in a deep voice.
Guan Yichuan naturally couldn't continue drinking and chatting. He passed through the light screen restriction in front of them and said to everyone, "Prepare for battle!"
Under Guan Yichuan's control, the airship first sank for a distance and then tried to fly over the heads of the flying demon beasts. However, no matter how the airship moved, it was blocked by the flying demon beasts.
What gave everyone a headache was that even if they wanted to retreat now, the flying demon beasts would follow closely behind.
The mission also had a time limit. If they couldn't reach Cloud State City within a certain time, the employers wouldn't pay the full commission. They might not even pay the commission at all.
Guan Yichuan hesitated for a moment and discussed it with the employers. Then, he decided to force his way through. After all, there were no Divine Lord level flying demon beasts. If there were only some Heavenly Deity and Great Deity level flying demon beasts, they wouldn't be able to stop the airship.
Under Guan Yichuan's control, the airship rushed towards the flock of flying demon beasts.
On both sides of the airship, there was a row of openings. Guan Yichuan had some late-stage Heavenly Deity mercenaries stand on both sides of the openings and bombard the flying demon beasts.
Although the airship itself was a standard flying divine artifact, it could not only release a defensive light screen but also shoot out beams of divine power to bombard the flying demon beasts. However, in this way, the airship's consumption of divine stones would increase greatly.
More than a thousand mercenaries stood in two rows and constantly bombarded the sides of the airship with their divine power. Because there were too many flying demon beasts around, they didn't need to aim at them at all. They didn't need to use their divine sense to lock onto them. Their casual attacks would fall into the flock of flying demon beasts and cause a large number of casualties.
The divine power beams shot out by the airship itself were even more terrifying. Each beam could penetrate the bodies of more than a hundred flying demon beasts.
Wherever the airship passed, the bodies of flying demon beasts fell from the sky like raindrops. The smell of blood drifting in the wind stimulated the bloodlust and bloodlust of the other flying demon beasts. They pounced from all directions, one after another, fearless of death.
In front of the airship, Guan Yichuan and the employers were busy filling the airship with divine stones. Everyone could see that hundreds and thousands of divine stones were filled into the grooves of the airship and almost instantly turned into nothingness.
But even so, under the attack of countless flying demon beasts, the airship couldn't raise its speed. There were still flying demon beasts that pounced on the airship, causing it to lose its balance.
The material and structure of the airship were not bad. The sharp claws of ordinary flying demon beasts could only leave white marks on it at most. Although it would take some time to rush out, there shouldn't be too much danger during this time.
But after nearly two hours, the real danger finally arrived. Four huge Monarch level flying demon beasts appeared around the airship.
The mercenaries next to the doorway felt the powerful aura of the four demon beasts. They were all afraid and secretly afraid.
They didn't come with good intentions. Guan Yichuan frowned. He calmly said to the mercenaries in the airship, "Calm down. The defense of this airship is impenetrable. These four flat-feathered beasts can't do anything to it. If they rush over in a while, focus your attacks on them … use your strongest means!"
Then, Guan Yichuan specially walked over to Xiao Lingyu and the others and said to Xiao Lingyu, "I hope Brother Xiao can lend me a hand in this dangerous situation."
Xiao Lingyu, on the other hand, nodded with a calm expression.
The four Divine Lord realm flying beasts didn't give Guan Yichuan too much time to prepare. They were like four flying fortresses, flying against the airship and the divine light that came from the doors, hurtling towards Guan Yichuan.
Xiao Lingyu and Guan Yichuan each stood in front of a doorway. In front of them was a Monarch level flying demon beast.
The employers at the front of the airship seemed to have seen a lot of things. They looked calm and collected as they kept filling the grooves of the airship with piles of parangons. It seemed that they would not participate in the battle.
In the direction where the other two Monarch level flying demon beasts were coming from, there were a large number of late Heavenly God level mercenaries in charge of defending them. In addition to the airship's defense and attack, there shouldn't be too much danger.
When the Monarch level flying demon beast in front of them was less than a thousand feet away, Xiao Lingyu sent out the Primal Chaos Seal that he had prepared.
When the flying demon beast felt the terrifying power of the Primal Chaos Seal, it immediately rose several hundred feet into the air, barely dodging the Primal Chaos Seal's attack.
The Primal Chaos Seal exploded behind the Monarch level flying demon beast, instantly clearing out all the flying demon beasts within a radius of three thousand feet. This power shocked the mercenaries who were facing them. They secretly thought that a Monarch level attack was extraordinary.
The Monarch level flying demon beast that was rushing over seemed to be afraid of this attack. It actually changed directions and attacked, and Xiao Lingyu moved with it.
Guan Yichuan wasn't weak either. His attack at this time was enough to deter the opponent, so the flying demon beast didn't dare to approach them easily.
The other two Monarch level flying demon beasts were pinned down by the late Heavenly God level mercenaries. However, the four of them attracted the firepower of almost all the mercenaries. The flying demon beasts below the Monarch level couldn't be stopped by the airship's defense and attack alone.
Under the leadership of the four Monarch level flying demon beasts, the group of flying demon beasts launched wave after wave of attacks that were even more ferocious than before.
The airship immediately seemed to have sunk into a swamp. Not only was it difficult to increase its speed, but it was also shaking violently.
However, as Guan Yichuan said, as long as the attacks of the Monarch level flying demon beasts were restricted, the Heavenly God level and Great God level flying demon beasts could at most slow down the airship a little.
