The rain did not weaken in the slightest, but the aircraft carrying the soldiers from the Qinling Mountains had no choice but to take off for Xiamen amid the fierce wind and heavy rain. The aircraft almost lost its balance while it was lifting off into the sky and heading for the stratosphere.

The military aircraft was capable of flying at a higher altitude, around fifteen thousand meters. However, one of the reasons why these tropical storms were so terrifying was because they could reach an altitude of almost ten thousand meters, which was pretty rare for a storm.

The black stormy clouds were currently around three thousand meters below the aircraft. It was absolutely terrifying to look down from the plane. Fear immediately arose from one’s deepest heart, sending chills down their spines and then their whole body.

The clouds resembled a bottomless black ocean, a great hole that was spinning slowly. Even though the aircraft and the storm were almost five thousand meters apart, the people still had a feeling that the tiny aircraft was being dragged into the storm. The slashing wind, roaring thunder, and ferocious rain had combined into the darkest and scariest nest of devils, and this thing was currently looming over a city along the shore!

Zhang Xiaohou went up to Mo Fan and Zhao Manyan and said with a stern face, “The plane won’t be able to land, we’ll have to jump!”

“You’re kidding me, we are fifteen thousand meters up!…” The expression on Bai Hongfei’s face, who happened to be tagging along, stiffened.

“The city is right below us, dropping from the sky is our only way to enter Xiamen,” Zhang Xiaohou went on.

The aircraft had no chance of descending through the storm; it would obviously be destroyed. It could only fly over Xiamen and drop them from a height the storm could not reach.

Everyone on the aircraft was prepared for a tough drop. There was no other choice!

“Someone might die if we are dropping from here,” Mo Fan glanced at the rest of the Battlemages in their military outfits.

Their cultivations were not particularly outstanding. If they happened to be caught by a fierce wind during the fall, they might not even land in one piece, let alone being able to land safely on the ground!

“There’s no other choice. It’s an order from the high command. I’ll jump first, the rest of you will follow me!” Zhang Xiaohou said. He was referring to the elite Mages he had brought with him.

“Affirmative!”

There were two troops on the plane. One was from the Qinling Division led by Zhang Xiaohou, and the other was from the Hongling Division, which was much larger in terms of men and material. They were also summoned to Xiamen, but their captain was someone different this time.

“Jump!”

“Jump!”

Zhang Xiaohou stood at the exit. He put on a pair of goggles and dove towards the sea of black clouds.

Mo Fan, Mu Bai, Bai Hongfei, Jiang Shaoxu, and Lingling jumped at the same time as Zhang Xiaohou, followed by the hundred elite Mages from the Qinling Division.

The soldiers of the Hongling Division dropped rapidly out the other side too. Over two hundred tiny dots were now scattered across the sky, diving rapidly into the sea of black clouds below.
