Chen Yang's airship was decent enough, but for Zhao Yanwu, it was completely subpar. The difference in materials and craftsmanship was glaring.
However, the two had entirely different identities and backgrounds. For Chen Yang to possess such an airship was already commendable, especially given the current circumstances; it was better than nothing.
The airship's speed was passable. Compared to the previous one, it fell short in many ways, but it was still much faster than the three of them running without any cover.
Zuo Dao employed the same trick again, setting up dozens of formations both inside and outside the airship. Some of these formations were even beyond Zhao Yanwu's understanding. With this barely adequate airship, the three continued on their journey.
At this moment, Xing realized that some things couldn't be hidden. While tracking them, he reported the recent events through various means. Even if he didn't report it, those above would eventually learn everything that had just transpired.
As a captain of the Dark Realm Execution Squad, he had never suffered such a significant loss before. With team members dead or injured, he could always recruit more later, but the loss of the Fire Extinguishing Strike weighed heavily on his heart.
He wanted revenge.
No matter what methods he had to use, he needed to kill those three. And they couldn't be allowed to die easily.
Yet Zuo Dao had no interest in what he was thinking.
"Chen Yang, look at this piece of junk! When do you think we can reach Fengming Town? My time is worth millions every minute!"
"Boss, do you think I have money to waste on this? I only got it after robbing some fool! If it weren't for the trouble involved, do you think I'd want to carry this money pit?" Chen Yang replied with a hint of grievance.
"That's true. This ship is not only terrible but also a glutton! In such a short time, it's cost me over ten Celestial Stones. Sigh, next time you make a move, at least have some taste!" Zuo Dao said with an expression of frustration and disappointment.
"Smack!"
Zhao Yanwu's hand came down again on Zuo Dao's head.
"What do you mean 'your Celestial Stones'? They were all thrown in by me! Why don't you pull out a Celestial Stone from your own stash for me to see?"
"Damn it, lady! How many times is this now? Stop hitting my head; if I get dumb from it, people will laugh at you!" Zuo Dao retorted without a hint of embarrassment, countering with indignation.
"Why are you laughing at me? You're the one who's foolish, not me." Zhao Yanwu glared at Zuo Dao's back, suppressing the urge to strike again.
"Alright, if you have the guts, keep hitting me. Let's see how you introduce me to others later." Zuo Dao stretched his neck, bringing his head close to Zhao Yanwu's, almost touching her delicate face.
Zhao Yanwu felt a rush from Zuo Dao's proximity, her cheeks flushing a lovely shade of red.
"You should know, I'm your grandfather's chosen son-in-law." Before Zhao Yanwu could respond, Zuo Dao pulled back.
"Am I really that forgettable?" Watching the two banter, Chen Yang finally couldn't help but murmur.
"What does it have to do with you? Mind your own business!" The voices of Zuo Dao and Zhao Yanwu rang out in unison, both turning their ire towards Chen Yang.
Seeing their perfect synchronization left Chen Yang speechless. If there was no secret relationship between them, he wouldn't believe it even if someone beat him to death.
"What kind of look is that? Do you have a problem?" Zhao Yanwu hadn't expected Zuo Dao to be so in sync with her and redirected her frustration towards Chen Yang.
"Alright, stop picking on him. Yoko hasn't done anything wrong. Even if there's a misunderstanding, that's not a fault." Zuo Dao's shameless defense only served to infuriate Zhao Yanwu further.
Just as Zhao Yanwu was about to explode with anger, her expression suddenly shifted.
"Daozi, stop. We need to go outside."
Zuo Dao glanced at her but said nothing; he simply followed her instructions and found a spot for the Airship to land. Soon after, the three of them exited the vessel.
"Is someone coming?" Zuo Dao asked as he noticed an object in Zhao Yanwu's hand.
"The support from the Dark Realm has arrived, but they need my cooperation." She knew she couldn't hide it from Zuo Dao; the moment he looked at the object in her hand, she understood he would figure it out.
Zuo Dao fell silent upon hearing this and simply pulled Chen Yang aside to make room.
Zhao Yanwu glanced at Zuo Dao, then took out a strange device from her belongings. She inserted the object into a pre-prepared slot on the Formation and attached several Celestial Stones as a power source. After that, she walked over to Zuo Dao's side.
"Can this take us to Flowing Immortal City?" Zuo Dao asked, lightly touching Zhao Yanwu.
Zhao Yanwu gave him a look of disbelief, not uttering a single word in response. Zuo Dao could only stand quietly beside her, realizing he had asked a foolish question. If it could go directly to Liu Yue City, there would be no need for this Teleportation Array.
The visitors from the Dark Realm were a team, and the leader seemed to be familiar with Zhao Yanwu. As soon as they emerged from the Teleportation Array, he rushed over.
"Fairy Yanwu, I apologize for startling you," he said, his tone laced with admiration.
"Thank you, Yan Captain, for coming to our aid. Do you have any clarity on what happened this time?" Zhao Yanwu was not in the mood to reciprocate his affections.
"We're investigating it, but it seems there’s been some issue," Yan Sui Fa, the captain of a squad from the Dark Realm, replied. He had been temporarily dispatched due to his proximity to Zhao Yanwu when he heard she was in trouble.
Upon learning that Zhao Yanwu was involved, he wasted no time and led his team over.
"What kind of issue could there be?" Zhao Yanwu knew there were definitely problems within the Dark Realm, but she still needed to ask; given Yan Sui Fa's position, he likely wouldn't know much.
"I don't know," Yan Sui Fa said, his face reddening slightly, clearly embarrassed by his lack of rank. "By the way, who are these two?"
"My husband and his subordinate," Zhao Yanwu replied dismissively. If it weren't for the fact that he was there to help her, she would have already snapped at him.
"Thank you for coming, Yan Captain. Wu has this temperament; please don't take offense," Zuo Dao interjected, understanding the situation. While he didn't mind being used as a pawn, he could see that Yan Sui Fa was an earnest person and didn't want him to lose face.
Indeed, after Zhao Yanwu's remark, Yan Sui Fa's expression changed; he looked somewhat dejected and disappointed but quickly composed himself.
"Congratulations to you, Fairy Yanwu."
Zhao Yanwu observed everything silently and felt a twinge of guilt. It was no secret in Eastern Immortal City that Yan Sui Fa had feelings for her; she just never felt the same way about him. Given his good character, she couldn't think of a way to address it until Zuo Dao was present to clarify things.
"Thank you, Yan Team. Alright, let's put that aside for now; there's an Execution Squad from Dark Realm coming up next," Zhao Yanwu quickly changed the subject.
"Dark Realm is asking for trouble. When did their people become bold enough to take action?" As expected, upon hearing Zhao Yanwu's words, Yan Sui Fa became furious.
"They even used that so-called Fire Extinguishing Strike. If it weren't for our good luck, Yan Team would probably be too late to even collect the bodies," Zuo Dao chimed in.
"Fire Extinguishing Strike!" Yan Sui Fa's gaze grew colder. "Fairy Yanwu, you all should leave first. We'll handle the rest; the Squad from Dark Realm will arrive shortly."
Zhao Yanwu's earlier words had already left him disheartened, and hearing about Dark Realm's tactics only fueled his anger further.
"Yan Team, we'll be waiting for you in Eastern Immortal City," Zhao Yanwu hesitated for a moment but still managed to say it.
Zuo Dao scoffed beside her; this was just hitting someone and then offering them a carrot!
Yan Sui Fa seemed to appreciate it, but his gaze towards Zhao Yanwu remained complex yet crystal clear.
The three of them were in a hurry and didn't linger much longer; they turned and boarded the Airship to continue their journey. However, before leaving, Zuo Dao handed something to Yan Sui Fa while whispering.
"This is from Maiko. Make sure to help her get revenge."
Without waiting for any reaction from Yan Sui Fa, she left swiftly.
Holding the Formation in his hand, Yan Sui Fa remained motionless for a long time. Once Dark Realm's people caught up, he intended to give them a bloody lesson.
"You really are something else," Zhao Yanwu remarked, though she didn't know what Zuo Dao had done with the other party, she had seen the Formation with her own eyes.
"After all, he's a good person and has an interest in you. He deserves some reward; otherwise, he'll think I'm angry," Zuo Dao laughed.
"I hope he won't have to use that thing; otherwise, all I can do is wish him good luck."
Xing's speed was impressive as he rushed forward. However, due to the delay caused by Zuo Dao, the first direct confrontation between Dark Realm and Dark Realm unfolded between him and Yan Sui Fa.
Xing never expected to engage with someone from Dark Realm. As soon as they appeared, they were met with a frenzied assault from Yan Sui Fa's Squad.
"Frenzied" barely described Yan Sui Fa's combat style; even mortal enemies paled in comparison.
From the moment they clashed, Xing suffered a setback. Although he knew his target might be a member of Dark Realm, he never anticipated that it would escalate to the point where a Dark Realm Squad would be dispatched to this Realm.
If he had known that several other Dark Realm Squads were also rushing here due to Zhao Yanwu, he couldn't imagine what he would have thought.
Dark Realm was divided into internal and external factions, with Yan Sui Fa belonging to the internal group. Similar to Dark Realm's Execution Squad, most members were at the level of Celestial General or Celestial Sovereign. If strength was the measure, Dark Realm's Execution Squad had more Celestial Sovereigns than the internal faction.
However, during their previous ambush on Zuo Dao and others, the Execution Squad had suffered significant losses. Now, they were caught off guard by Yan Sui Fa's surprise attack. Upon contact, several members were quickly eliminated.
The situation on the battlefield spiraled out of control as Dark Realm pressed their advantage against Dark Realm's Squad. Yan Sui Fa had already decided not to let a single member of this Squad escape.
Those who dared to strike at Zhao Yanwu should be prepared for death.
"Kill!" Yan Sui Fa shouted fiercely, launching relentless attacks without regard for his own safety as he crazily slaughtered members of the Execution Squad.
Xing watched in horror as blood seeped from his eyes, helplessly entangled by several members of Dark Realm around him. He could only watch as Yan Sui Fa continued his rampage.
