238 Chapter 238 (2/2)

”Young lady, we need to be careful, that senior looks benevolent but it might be a trick!”

One of the maids said while the other nodded with approval.

Fang Meili moved toward one of the tables. There was a juicy looking apple just there, she took it into her hand and then took a large bite out of the fruit.

”You two are worrying too much, not like we can do anything about it. I've promised grandfather that I would follow … my Uncle to his sect…”

She paused before referring to Zhang Dong as an uncle. Everything was still surreal and she was still digesting this whole situation.

”Not like we could do anything about it… you've seen it... ”

Fang Meili dropped down onto the largest bed and looked up at the ceiling. Her maids moved closer but knew what their young missy meant. Not like they could run away, even if they got outside this ship there was no place for them to go.

The other sects had already figured out that their Divine Fist Sect was weakened. If it wasn't for Zhang Dong, Fang Meili would already be dead.

”I owe that man… uncle Dong my life… I will wait and see… he said that I shouldn't worry and that I will meet my grandfather again…someone with such a pure divine aura shouldn't be a bad person...”

The two maids also nodded at that point. That senior did have an unusual divine source to himself. It was above anything that these three women had ever seen, far above any elder from their own sect that they knew.

Before the three could get comfortable a red light started flashing in their room and they could feel that the ship started to move.

”Code red, Code red… Everyone is to proceed to the battle stations.'

The announcement was loud and the whole flying ship started shaking violently. The girls looked at each other in surprise. They didn't have time to even fully sit down and now there was some kind of problem.

All of them moved towards one of the windows that let them see the outside. They could see three large more traditional looking ships flying their way.

”Is that the Limitless Sword Society emblem?”

”Those bastards want to attack us!”

The two maids cried out in fright. They were very much scared of that bloodthirsty sect. From what they knew it was one of the more ruthless ones. The people from that faction were known for their love for battle. They always liked to make their swords do the talking instead of bargaining or going for a compromise. They along with the Yggdrasil Sect were their biggest enemies.

”Calm down you two, look at that…”

Fang Meili pointed towards the three ships coming their way. They weren't getting closer instead it looked like they were slowly getting left behind. This ship that they were flying in was slowly picking up the pace and leaving those smaller ones behind.

”How fast are we going?”

”Was it always that easy to run away?”

From what the girls knew flying ships of that size weren't the fastest. Even as a heaven graded item the sheer size made the whole vessel slower.

But there they were, leaving the other flying ships in the dust. The trio continued to look outside the window and they could see more ships appearing. They continued their chase but it didn't look like they would be catching up anytime soon. It really looked like their group would be making a clean getaway. That was before they felt a rumble and then saw the protective barrier flickering.

The girl's cabin was in the back of the ship so they couldn't see what was happening in the front. They could see the shield flickering multiple times which probably meant that they were getting attacked by something. The ships that were left in the dust also started catching up.

The alarm kept ringing and it looked like the members from the United Element Sect would be getting involved in the fight.

Fang Meili couldn't just sit around in this room without any information. She decided to peek outside and luckily the door to her cabin remained open. There were also no guards around to push her back in.

”Young lady you mustn't! We were told to stay here, it might be dangerous outside!”

The maids ran after their young miss that decided to go outside. She remembered from where they arrived and it didn't take her long to reach the area outside. The ship crew was far too busy with their own assignments so there was no one to stop this trio from snooping around.

The moment she was outside she could see it. There were multiple burning flying ships around them along with cultivators on swords. There was a full-blown aerial battle taking place and explosions were happening everywhere.

”Face me, Zhang Dong!”

A booming voice was heard by her and brought her attention to the sky.

”You are even dumber than I had anticipated!”

She saw the man that brought her here. He was floating directly above the flying ship with a sword in hand. His opponent was the sect leader from the Limitless Sword Society. With him there were two more nascent soul elders, it looked like her savior was outnumbered.
