Chapter 669: Auspiciousness Descends from the Heavens (2/2)
The Song Zining of today didn’t just hold the status of a Song clan young master. He had long since gained his own agents and influence.
Presently, the young geniuses from back then were already capable of wielding great power on their own.
Zhao Jundu was publicly recognized as a person who could handle great responsibilities, and Song Zining had also revealed outstanding talents. He was already qualified, albeit barely, to manage the defense of several counties. Qianye wasn’t as famous, but judging from how he could slaughter a virtuous count, he was beyond qualified for the lieutenant-general rank. The only issue was that his origin power cultivation was still somewhat lacking.
Comparatively, the older Song Zicheng still needed to borrow his status as a Song clan young master to do everything, and he would likely need to continue doing this for many years to come.
Song Zining mobilized his information network without the slightest bit of hesitation, but Li Kuanglan had arrived much faster than anticipated.
At dusk, a slender and magnificent airship appeared over the horizon and flew rapidly toward Indomitable. Li Kuanglan stood as calm as an ancient well, her hands clasped behind her back as she gazed at the approaching city.
The tender maid standing behind her asked, “Just who here is worth traveling tens of thousands of kilometers for? You even set aside such important matters.”
Li Kuanglan replied, “You don’t understand, I must come.”
The maid pouted. “Even though I don’t understand war and statecraft, I can tell what’s good and bad. It must be those senseless fellows causing problems again.”
Li Kuanglan said with a laugh, “It is indeed related to those people, but this time, it is I who wanted to come and see a certain person.”
“Who is it that you have to rush over to see?”
“A dumb but interesting fellow.”
The maid’s eyes lit up as she cried out, “Oh ho ho, this is the first time I’ve heard you give such an evaluation. I really must see this person.”
Li Kuanglan’s expression instantly turned wooden. “Are you looking to die?”
The maid wasn’t afraid of her at all and only kept on giggling.
The airship sped forth at full speed and arrived above Indomitable. The other airships patrolling the airspace approached the vessel but returned to their routes after seeing a certain insignia, allowing the airship to fly right above the city.
Apparently sensing something, Li Kuanglan leapt head first off the airship and shot toward the city like a comet.
“Ah! Wait for me!” the maid cried out and actually followed suit. She made a couple of turns through the air and flew toward Indomitable.
In the courtyard, Qianye was feeling quite restless. He tried to cultivate several times, but he didn’t dare activate the Profound Combatant Formula in this state of mind. The reason for him losing control last night hadn’t been made clear yet, and he just couldn’t get that icy tide out of his mind.
Song Zining had told Qianye before that there were countless experts from both sides disrupting the heavenly mysteries of this floating continent. This rendered most divination arts ineffective, and even he himself couldn’t calculate anything. For ordinary warriors, it would affect their sensitivity to danger and cause their state of mind to fluctuate.
But that was for ordinary soldiers—how could it affect those with great willpower like Qianye, Zhao Jundu, or even Zhao Yuying and Wei Potian?
Yet for some reason, this abnormal problem had happened to Qianye. This made him restless and even unable to cultivate.
After several unfruitful attempts, Qianye had no choice but to leave the cultivation chamber in frustration. Not to mention the great war going on at the moment, the level of his own blood energy had far surpassed his daybreak origin power once again and was in urgent need of balancing. How could he not be frustrated after encountering problems at such a juncture?
Qianye returned to his room and produced a box of divination sticks. He quietly circulated his origin power as Song Zining had taught him and threw the tokens onto the table. With his skill in divination, there probably wouldn’t be any proper results. He wasn’t hoping for anything and was simply doing it to kill time.
The inscribed sticks fell onto the table and, quite surprisingly, formed an exceptionally clear symbol.
Qianye was startled—when had his divination skills become that impressive? Could it be that he had some talent in this field? He glanced over at the table and became somber almost immediately.
The meaning of the symbol was: “Calamity descends from the heavens.”
Even someone with firm willpower like Qianye felt rather upset after seeing such a result.
Qianye raised his hand and was just about to sweep the sticks off the table when a loud noise arose from the courtyard. Soon, the earth began to quake violently, the shockwave kicking up a tempest in the room which threw open all of the doors and windows.
Qianye released his origin power reflexively. This shielded an area several meters around him, effectively blocking out the incoming dust and gravel. After the dirt had settled, Qianye saw a slender silhouette standing in his courtyard, with hands clasped behind and a shallow pit beneath the feet. Apparently, this person had just fallen down from the sky.
He didn’t need to look clearly. Just from those blue robes and that temperament resembling an unsheathed sword, Qianye knew that Li Kuanglan had arrived. “So, it’s you!”
Li Kuanglan was baffled by his sudden words, but she soon noticed the divination symbol on the table.
As a highly intelligent person, she soon realized what was going on. Her face turned livid as she muttered through clenched teeth, “Are you saying I’m the calamity?”
