Chapter 1419 The Birds of That Time
One of the bystanders, Tang Yusheng, turned to look at Li Qingqiang, his gaze seemingly asking whether they should stop the driver from continuing.
Now that Lin Qiye and the others were still under house arrest, letting them know too much about the outside world would only bring more variables.
To his surprise, Li Qingqiang just stood quietly to the side, showing no intention of interrupting.
“The Temple of Gods invaded?! How’s the situation over there?!” Lin Qiye asked gravely.
“…Very bad,” the driver said bitterly. “At first, many Xia Gods sacrificed their lives to delay the gods from the Temple… Yellow Dragon Immortal has fallen, Yang Jian is near death, Sun Wukong severely injured, Nezha severely injured, and more than ten Xia Gods, big and small, have died or been wounded.
Now the main force of Xia Gods has basically assembled at Chennan Pass, and the Heavenly Court has also moved there. The Supreme Virtue Emperor has taken action, and the two mythical forces are locked in a fierce battle, but… the initial casualties and power consumption of the Xia Gods were too severe. Plus, some deities still need to guard other passes to prevent the Olympian gods from taking advantage, so they’re still shorthanded and currently at a disadvantage.”
His words struck Lin Qiye’s mind like lightning, leaving his thoughts suddenly blank.
“Ajin…” Lin Qiye murmured.
Everyone’s brows furrowed. After a moment of silence, An Qingyu pointed to the damaged helicopter behind them.
“What exactly did Commander Zuo ask you to transport?”
Hearing this, the driver suddenly came to his senses and rushed into the smoke-filled cabin, forcefully dragging out a heavy coffin.
“Quick! Give me a hand!”
At his call for help, everyone quickly moved all the coffins out of the cabin—seven in total—laying them quietly on the beach.
Seeing these seven coffins, Baili Pangpang’s eyes were filled with confusion:
“Who are the people in these coffins?”
Just as the driver was about to speak, a hoarse voice came from behind him.
“…They are the [Mediums].”
Lin Qiye slowly walked to one of the black coffins, his fingertips rubbing against the heavy coffin lid, his lips pressed together.
In his spiritual perception, Buli’s pale corpse lay quietly inside this coffin… his black cloak now completely tattered.
“[Mediums]…” In everyone’s minds, they immediately recalled those seven mysterious figures draped in black cloaks, controlling giant lightning pillars as they moved through the air.
“That’s right,” the driver nodded repeatedly. “Commander Zuo gave strict orders that we must deliver their bodies to the Fasting Place within 48 hours… to a man called Wu Tongxuan.”
Old Dog Wu?
Lin Qiye immediately remembered the disheveled man in hospital clothes who was chatting with Xiaocao at the Fasting Place.
“The battle at Chennan Pass is too intense… there are large-scale divine battles everywhere, plus massive beast hordes attacking. The mobile transport team had six planes escorting us through the battlefield, but in the end only we managed to break through, and even then a bug still crawled onto our aircraft.” The driver’s eyes were full of self-blame and anger.
“The plane is destroyed… our mission will most likely fail.”
Lin Qiye looked at the seven silent coffins before him, his fists tightly clenched…
“Qingyu,” he said in a deep voice.
An Qingyu quickly understood Lin Qiye’s meaning and without a word, brought out a pile of tools from the air raid shelter.
“Give me ten minutes,” An Qingyu looked at the sky. “In ten minutes, I guarantee you can take off with them to the Fasting Place without much delay.”
Under the astonished gaze of the two pilots, four additional arms sprouted from An Qingyu’s back as he began to rapidly repair the transport helicopter that was already half destroyed!
During the flight, many parts of the transport aircraft had been eaten by bugs and lost to the sea, but such material deficiencies were no challenge for An Qingyu. Silver spider silk emerged from his palms, covering the gaps in the fuselage like liquid before quickly solidifying. Whether in hardness or heat resistance, it was no less effective than the original special materials.
His six arms worked at lightning speed, striking and repairing the fuselage, reshaping the tail fins. As time passed minute by minute, the damaged transport helicopter gradually regained its proper form before everyone’s eyes.
“Done,” An Qingyu dusted off his hands and calmly said, “It may look a bit ugly, but it will definitely get you to the Fasting Place without any problems.”
Pilots: !!!
Lin Qiye and the others helped them load the coffins into the cabin. The two men returned to the cockpit to operate the controls, and this strangely shaped helicopter steadily rose into the air without any signs of falling apart!
One of the pilots gave a thumbs-up to the [Nightfall] members below, quickly changed direction, and sped toward the Fasting Place.
After the plane disappeared into the horizon as a tiny dot, Lin Qiye took a deep breath and turned around. By now, all the commanders had vanished, leaving only Lin Qiye and his team standing alone on the island at dawn.
“Qiye…” An Qingyu looked at Lin Qiye’s knuckles, white from clenching so hard, his expression incredibly complex. “Give the order, Qiye.”
“Yes, Qiye, just say the word and we’ll break out of this place immediately!” Cao Yuan said gravely. “Whether Commander Zuo punishes us or we face disciplinary action, with things so bad outside, how could we possibly stay here with peace of mind…”
“I’m ready too!” Ghost Jiang Er nodded solemnly.
Baili Pangpang looked at Lin Qiye in silence, also waiting for his answer.
Lin Qiye’s gaze swept over everyone, slightly moved. He sighed softly: “This scene feels somewhat familiar…”
“What?” Cao Yuan asked in confusion.
“Remember when we broke out of the Fasting Place?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and smiled.
Lin Qiye, Cao Yuan, Baili Pangpang, An Qingyu.
Except for Jiang Er in the black coffin, they had all escaped from what was claimed to be the most secure prison in Great Xia. They were just youths then, and that leap over the high wall gave birth to the current [Nightfall] team.
Fate seemed to come full circle, and unknowingly, they had returned to their starting point.
“Of course I remember,” Baili Pangpang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up with a nostalgic smile on his face. “Back then, we were like fearless birds—no wall was high enough to confine us…”
“The walls back then couldn’t stop us from spreading our wings and flying high. This time… it will be the same.” Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination!
He turned his head, looking at the rising sun on the horizon, and slowly said:
“Everyone, please follow me… let’s break through once more!”
