Chapter 776 (2/2)

“Go back to the place we came out from…” Ye Lang ran back to the empty space where everyone had gathered.

“Ye Lang, what are you doing? Unless you want to send everyone into prison?” asked Li Yue. She had been here for ten years, she was the most familiar with this place. She knew there was only one entrance and exit.

If they did not want to die, they could actually hide in the Tiangongyue prison. Although they would be locked inside, at least they wouldn’t die.

“Do you all want to go there? It’s not a place where regular people can survive. Zhao Yarou and I could, but I can’t say the same for you all,” said Ye Lang.

“...We don’t want to go then! Tell us, do you have another way?” Li Yue understood upon hearing him that he must have another idea.

“Of course! Do you know why this place can send us to the prison cells? Because this is a teleportation alchemy formation. Its destination setting was just set to one place. All we need to do is change the destination and…” Ye Lang started to talk about technical procedures and only a few people understood him.

“Enough, enough! Just tell us what’s the use of that.” Li Yue’s face darkened, she wanted to punch him. How dare he talk so much during a moment like this?!

Ye Lang continued, “We can change the coordinates so that it’ll transport you all to somewhere nearby. Because we don’t have another teleportation formation outside and there are so many of us, we can only teleport a very short distance! Li Yue, tell us the direction and distance of the safest spot outside!”

“The best place should be three kilometers northeast of this place. Is that alright?” asked Li Yue.

“Should be fine! I’ll get Little Zero to wait for us at that spot. All of you, stand in the circle in front.” As he spoke, he also contacted Little Zero through Little Xin so Little Zero would head northeast.

“Let’s begin!”

When everyone went up, Ye Lang started to transport them by the batches. It probably required some time. But this should be faster than the emperor’s people collecting enough explosives.

“It’s all up to you now, sweetie!” Ye Lang carried the baby over, then pointed the markings on her forehead at an item. The formation had to be activated by the Tiangongyue’s special markings.

The baby did not understand anything, just waving her limbs happily. She seemed excited he was carrying her.

She cooed and yelled, “Papa… Papa…”

“Hey, call me Brother, don’t call me Papa, I’m not that old.” Ye Lang was very annoyed.

“Papa…” The baby slapped her hand across his face. Although it wasn’t a strong slap, everyone heard it loud and clear. It sounded painful. Also very odd.

“...”

At the same time, he had already activated the teleportation formation. The crowd disappeared in batches.

“Ye Lang, aren’t you coming with?”

“You all first. Zhao Yarou and I will go last. I need to stay here to work this thing,” said Ye Lang. At that point, he just mentioned Zhao Yarou out of habit. She could’ve left first but it was just a habit after ten years.

No one thought about it, it was all the same. Still, some volunteered to stay with him.

“Tigress, Fatty, hurry. Zhao Yarou, You go too. It’s the last batch!” Very soon, they were the only ones left.

“No, I want to be with you!” said Zhao Yarou. Everyone else paused.

“Why? I’ll go later, why do you want to go with me?” Ye Lang asked, puzzled.

“I’m worried you won’t have a way to come out after you send us out!” said Zhao Yarou. “I know about this formation, a person must stay behind to activate it.”

“Is that true? Master?” asked Tigress immediately.

“It is true…” said Ye Lang.

“Then I will stay with you!” said Tigress immediately. The few girls too.

“Ugh, what are you trying to do? I said I will go later! When have I ever lied?! Although someone needs to control this thing, there’s a lag! And that window is enough to send me over! Do you understand?” huffed Ye Lang without a hint of gratitude.

“Zhao Yarou, how could you forget? Didn’t you run inside ten years ago too? And that was after you activated it, no?”

“Hehe, I forgot. Sweetie, come to Mama first. Papa needs to travel fast later.” Zhao Yarou smiled and then reached to grab the baby. But the baby clung to Ye Lang and refused to let go.

“...Hmmph, all you do is cling to Papa…” Zhao Yarou understood she wasn’t going to get the baby off him. After they removed the seal on the baby, Ye Lang was the first person she saw. And Ye Lang was the person she liked most.

“It’s fine, she can follow me. I can still run with her,” shrugged Ye Lang.

“Alright!” Zhao Yarou nodded and went into the circle with the rest. It was a little crowded inside. When she noticed that the rest of the circles were empty, she ran over and gestured for Ye Lang to head to her circle later.

This formation wasn’t one circle but many small circles. They were all entrances to prison cells. Ye Lang had adjusted all their settings so they could be activated at the same time.

At this moment, Ye Lang did not notice Zhao Yarou leaving to another circle. Naturally, he did not see Zhao Yarou gesturing for him to get in with her.

“Alright, the teleportation begins!”

After activating it, he ran to the nearest circle. He didn't care who was inside. It was just a split-second decision.

Zaho Yarou did not hold any grudges as she understood why he did that.

Then, space contorted and everyone felt weightless for a second. In the next moment, they felt gravity once more and their surroundings had changed completely.

“Ye Lang, be careful!”

“??”

“Haha, do you all really think you can run from me? You all still fell into my trap in the end!”

Ye Lang looked around and they were completely surrounded by people from Soaring Sky. This wasn’t a safe location at all, more like a tiger’s jaws!

But Ye Lang did not really care.

“It must be because Little Zero was stupid enough to let them follow her!” Ye Lang pointed at the flying boat in the sky, putting the blame on her.

“...” Little Zero felt wronged. She wasn’t stupid, he was! Ye Lang was the one who gave the instruction for her to come to this spot. Wasn’t that a public announcement that everyone should pay attention to this place?

They thought Soaring Sky wouldn’t be able to react in time either but unfortunately, they were coincidentally heading in this direction too. Li Yue had forgotten that they also had to look for a safe spot to retreat to if they were going to blow up the ruins.

“Master, what do we do? Do we kill our way out?” said Tigress, clenching her teeth at the Soaring Sky Emperor.

“What’s the use of killing so many people? We just need to get on the flying boat. We don’t have many people here,” said Ye Lang. “Tigress, since when did you become so violent?”

“I’ve been at war a little too much, perhaps I became a little violent from that! I’ll be aware of it from now on!” said Tigress after cocking her head to a side to think.

“Get on the flying boat! Little Zero, activate the defense mechanisms, activate the recognition systems and land the boat!”

“Why descend? Ye Lang, won’t it make it easier for other people to shoot the boat?” Ye Lanyu and the rest thought it was safest for the boat to be high up in the air. If it descended, it would enter their range of attack.

“Don’t worry, they can’t break our defense systems. I spent too much time on it. If they still don’t get the hint, we can retaliate too,” said Ye Lang.

“But what if they get on the boat?” asked Ye Lanyu.

“They can’t, we’re the only ones that can enter,” said Ye Lang with a grin.

“??” Everyone was confused.

“Just wait and see!” Ye Lang smiled as he carried the baby. The baby shrieked happily as she pointed at the sky.

No one paid attention to her, they were busy digesting his words.

They soon understood. It was a very strange thing…

When the flying boat landed, Ye Lang’s camp entered very smoothly. They scrambled inside quickly, afraid Soaring Sky would catch up. Starting a battle now would be very inconvenient and put them at a disadvantage.

But just as everyone prepared to fight to their deaths, they realised no one from the other camp could get on the boat. Or more specifically, they could not approach the boat.

There was a recognition system. Anyone who did not pass the recognition test would not pass the defense system. They cannot get near the boat.

Ye Lang did not explain its mechanism in detail, filtering out a lot of information.

“Leaving already?” said the emperor. He felt fear the moment he witnessed Ye Lang’s magical abilities. If Ye Lang successfully left this place, he was going to lose the war.

What choice did he have? In terms of military power, the other side was more powerful. In terms of technology, the other side was possibly more advanced with Ye Lang there too.

“You think we’d wait for you to send us off?” said Ye Lang.

“Aren’t you missing someone?” asked the emperor.
