Chapter 129 Riding the Wind
Outside the gate of the fasting place, on the cliff.
Lin Qiye and the others gazed at the boundless sea, lost in thought...
"You fatso, can you use [Yao Guang] to take us back to land?"
"Hey bro, have some common sense, okay? The rest of us are obviously overweight, you know?"
"By the way, don't you have any other prohibited flying items? Hand them over now, or I'll have to take action."
"Damn it, Cao Cao, I advise you to think carefully before you speak."
"........."
Looking at the noisy crowd, Li Jie couldn't help but chuckle.
This group of lively characters has reunited, but this time Shen Qingzhu is also joining them.
Based on this calculation, has the fifth reserve team met the conditions for establishment?
And... next, this kid can even snatch a wife from that godforsaken place.
Hmm... I just wonder if this kid will take so long to figure things out.
The deeper Li Jie thought about it, the more pronounced his smile became.
Standing next to him, Lin Qiye saw Li Jie with a smile on his face and asked a question.
"Brother, did you think of something happy?"
"I did think of some interesting things."
Seeing that Li Jie didn't intend to elaborate, he didn't press further, but hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Then... will you come with us?"
Upon hearing the question, Li Jie pursed his lips and shook his head.
"I'll go by myself. You'll probably be busy for a while after you get to land, so there's a bit of a time conflict."
"OK then......"
Finally, An Qingyu once again used her ice powers to create a small boat, carrying the five people out to sea, but...
The speed of traveling is almost the same as swimming back...
Seeing that the five people had left, Li Jie couldn't help but speak up.
"I just don't know if their first mission will also be in the North. If possible, it wouldn't be a bad idea to lend them a hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xian'er's graceful body floated out from his dantian.
"What, you even know their mission information?"
"I guess you know..."
"You're lying. I know what you're thinking."
"......"
Now it was Li Jie's turn to be silent. After a long while, he spoke gently.
"Xian'er, I know much more than this, so there are some things I can't avoid even if I want to."
So...do you regret it now?
Indeed, this is the drawback of the method for forging one's natal flying sword.
Once the host's natal flying sword develops sentience, it can communicate with its master's mind and travel thousands of miles with a vast and continuous aura.
Not to mention, Li Jie refined this Zhuxian Divine Sword, which had been imbued with countless spiritual beings through countless reincarnations, into his natal flying sword.
His thoughts and ideas were laid bare.
However, since Li Jie chose to believe her, he could not possibly hold anything back from Xian'er.
"What do you regret?"
"Actually, when I saw those memories in your mind, I had a pretty good idea of your identity."
"Whether you're an entrant or a disruptor."
"But what does that have to do with me?"
"If you're heading down a dead end, then let me plead for your survival."
"Do you remember what we said in that blessed land?"
Hearing this, Li Jie smiled slightly.
How could he possibly forget?
"Even in the netherworld, I will never leave your side. As long as the sword remains, so too will my soul. This vow is eternal, witnessed by heaven and earth."
After Li Jie finished speaking, his resounding vow echoed for a long time above the cliff.
"call........"
"We...should go too..."
After letting out a long sigh, Li Jie looked at the sea at sunset, his eyes gradually hardening.
Zheng! !
A resounding sword cry echoed through the heavens and earth, and the ancient Zhuxian Sword flew out from Li Jie's body, hovering above the fasting place.
He took Xian'er's hand and sped towards the edge of the cliff.
Then, with a light touch of his toes, he leaped into the air and plummeted straight towards the sea.
The wind howled in my ears, like thousands of sharp beasts charging forward, and the dark red cloak fluttered in the sea breeze.
At this moment, Li Jie and his companion were filled with longing for the distance. The true energy within his dantian surged wildly, and just as the fall intensified, the Zhuxian Sword arrived at his command.
In an instant, a burst of light erupted, a fierce gale arose from beneath the sword, and true energy surged forth, instantly transforming into a force that propelled them into the sky, hovering beneath his feet and carrying the two of them soaring into the heavens.
Amidst the crisscrossing sword energy, the isolated island on the sea has transformed into a miniature landscape, and the figures of Li Jie and his companion have gradually faded into the distance.
Soon, it transformed into a shooting star and fell into the distance.
Floating above the sea, Lin Qiye and the others felt the overwhelming sword intent coming from behind them and couldn't help but look up.
A hearty laugh came from mid-air.
"I will ride the wind and go forth; though the road ahead may be fraught with countless dangers, the enemy may go, and so may I!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice, the five little ones on the ice boat seemed to feel a surge of heroic spirit rising within them.
"That's Brother Lei, right?"
Baili Pangpang asked Lin Qiye with an excited expression.
The latter nodded slightly while standing on the ice boat, and then gave instructions to Baili Pangpang and Shen Qingzhu, who were standing at the stern.
"We need to speed up, or Brother Li will leave us in the dust!"
Upon hearing this, everyone on the boat smiled and used various methods to increase the speed of the ice boat, slowly heading towards the shore.
..........
The Northern Territory, the Night Watch's residence in Taunge City.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Li Jie finally got the so-called "better satellite phone with longer battery life" that Commander Ye had arranged for him.
Actually, it was just a mobile phone. Commander Ye even thoughtfully prepared more than a dozen spare batteries for Li Jie.
Li Jie stared at the phone in his hand, which felt as hard as a rock, and fell into deep thought.
Are all Night Watchmen really that poor?
Actually, this wasn't Ye Fan's original intention. Even if he were stingy, it wouldn't have been a problem to prepare a slightly smarter phone for Li Jie.
The problem is... their power supplies are basically soldered on, making frequent battery replacements impossible.
So... what was handed to Li Jie was this product of the old era.
However, he's not very picky; he just wants someone who can play a crucial role in critical moments.
"Take care, Commissioner Li! Come visit again sometime!"
You know what, the Night's Watchmen in the northern outpost were way too enthusiastic.
They not only provided him with communication equipment, but also bought him a lot of cotton-padded clothes.
This gave him a sense of warmth in this city that is covered in ice and snow all year round.
