Chapter 451 There really is a traitor
As Wang Erzhu pondered, he felt that things were becoming increasingly unpredictable.
Surely Yuchi Zhi couldn't have come here specifically for the academy's cultivators.
Academy monks...
Wang Erzhu kept repeating it to himself, and suddenly some fragments flashed through his mind.
The imperial rebels are determined to destroy this country, and if there is anything that forms the foundation of a nation, then the answer must be its people.
As Wang Erzhu continued his thought process, a chill ran down his spine. So many starships... what if they all killed them all?
At present, it will not cause much loss to the Myriad Spirits Empire, but in terms of long-term losses, some of these cultivators may enter a sect and become its pillars in the future, or they may become powerful figures with influence as their cultivation improves.
Killing these students is tantamount to killing the future of the empire.
Yu Chizhi and his group of rebels are truly ruthless.
Thinking of this, Wang Erzhu couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
If they were to actually do that, they would be practically trying to destroy the country.
There are still people stationed at Black Nest. In addition to soldiers, the monks from these academies will be the ones rotating in from now on.
For prioritizing a single interest while disregarding the well-being of the people, Wang Erzhu was at a loss for words.
It was the right thing to not join the rebels; if they keep going like this, they'll eventually crash and burn.

"Captain, Squad 06 has been completely wiped out..."
On the starship, the soldier speaking had a somber expression, while the monk Moga standing opposite him did not sigh; his expression was resolute.
"I'll lead a small team to scout ahead. You keep an eye on the flight path. If anything seems off, put on your life jacket and get out of here in a small starship."
"Yes!"
After the conversation ended, another team left the starship.
Immediately afterwards, a violent shaking sensation struck.
The starship was under attack and was shaking violently.
The monks in the lounge were still unaware of what was happening outside, but they knew clearly that if the starship was attacked, it meant that all of them would be in danger.
The purple-clad man in the crowd moved swiftly; he raised his hand and instantly killed a cultivator beside him, then grabbed two students by the neck with both hands simultaneously.
"Let me leave. We don't have much time left. We're all going to die here."
The purple-robed man's voice trembled; although he was at the Nascent Soul stage, his face was filled with fear.
Jiang He looked at the unexpected change in the crowd.
She always hated to admit it, but it turned out she was right again.
Among them were people who colluded with the attackers, and it was clear that the monk had received other information from them.
Cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are difficult to defeat.
The sudden outburst of the purple-robed man caused some panic among the cultivators in the rest room.
Cheng Yu looked at the man in purple with even more confusion:
"Ming Shuang, what are you talking about? Killing people here? I think you're the one who's courting death."
Cheng Yu wanted to step forward to offer some advice, but was quickly stopped by Li Ling.
Anyone with eyes could see that something was wrong with the man in purple, yet he kept getting closer. For the first time, Li Ling felt like her aversion to stupidity was acting up.
Ming Shuang forced the two cultivators to walk out, while Jiang He did not act rashly and looked towards the end of the corridor.
There's a fluctuation of spiritual energy here; the soldiers on the ship must have noticed it.
Ming Shuang had great strength; the cultivators on her left and right hands had blood pooling around their necks, and she practically dragged them away.
Seeing the spiritual energy leaking out from afar, Jiang He immediately looked towards Long Aotian.
The two simultaneously drew their swords from their scabbards, pointing the tips at Ming Shuang.
Ming Shuang sensed an attack from behind. He swiftly killed the hostage in his hands and then turned around.
A purple flame swiftly attacked Jiang He and Long Aotian.
Jiang He dodged the attack and did not continue to attack. She and Long Aotian jogged a few steps back to the lounge and immediately closed the door.
The gate blocked Jiang He and Ming Shuang's view.
Just as Ming Shuang was hesitating between breaking down the door and killing Jiang He and the others or fleeing for his life, a sword flew toward his forehead.
Lan Geng, a cultivator under the Fifth Army, charged towards Ming Shuang, her sword radiating a chilling aura.
A face full of icy mist obscured Ming Shuang's vision, and he kept his head down, wary of his surroundings.
A long sword emerged from above, and before it even got close, Ming Shuang felt a bone-chilling cold once again, and he bent over and retreated.
-
"Has Mingshuang betrayed us?" Cheng Yu belatedly looked at the tightly closed door.
The people around him remained silent, so he turned to Jiang He and asked:
"You just let him escape like that?"
Li Ling couldn't stand it any longer, so she slammed the person to the ground with her hammer:
"Don't force me to beat you up. Don't you understand? This guy is a traitor, and he's only at the Nascent Soul stage. With your cultivation level, he could kill you in a minute. The door was closed to prevent you, an idiot, from going to your death, understand?"
Jiang He and Long Aotian deliberately attacked in order to attract Ming Shuang's attention.
When the two sensed different spiritual energy fluctuations in the distance, they decisively launched an attack, fought a wave, and then retreated, leaving the battlefield to the military to prevent more cultivators from dying.
-
The misty air obscured his vision. When Ming Shuang opened his eyes again, perhaps sensing something, he looked up and saw a sword piercing straight through the top of his head.
The moment the brain was pierced, the condensed cold air froze it.
Lan Geng drew her sword again, pulling out the congealed blood clots. She looked at the fallen corpse, her eyes filled with unyielding sorrow.
The door was opened by Lan Gengzhong using his authority, and the cultivators in the rest room gradually shifted their gazes from the dead Ming Shuang to Lan Gengzhong's body.
Lan Gengzhong was covered in blood, clearly a sign of a fight.
Jiang He's eyes darkened; things were worse than she had imagined.
It's likely that the problem wasn't limited to them; the Fifth Army may have encountered problems as well.
"Team Leader Lan, is there anything we can do for you?"
Cheng Yu couldn't wait to step forward.
Lan Geng pushed Cheng Yu aside and looked at all the cultivators:
"The cockpit has been attacked, and the AI navigation has failed. Everyone, prepare to escape in the small starship."
"how come……"
Before some people could even react to this sudden turn of events, Lan Gengzhong had already started walking forward.
After her conversation with Moga ended, a traitor appeared among the logistics soldiers in the army. They self-destructed, blowing open the cockpit and killing all three pilots.
She has a slight understanding of driving, but is limited to the AI-assisted stage. At present, the starship is out of control, and the only way to survive is to leave. Otherwise, if the starship collides with interstellar debris or asteroids, the probability of death is 100%.
After Lan Geng finished speaking, everyone was in a bad mood.
Jiang He recalled the star field trajectory she had seen and silently looked at Bai Zhizhou.
Perhaps Bai Zhizhou can pilot a starship...
Lan Geng walked quickly, and by the time Jiang He caught up, someone was already adjusting the values of the small starship.
“Team Leader Lan, I have a friend who has piloting experience. Perhaps we could let him try piloting a starship.”
Jiang He was dressed in a blue robe and wore the school badge of Wanjue Academy.
When Lan Gengzhong first heard this, he thought he had misheard. After all, the person standing next to her was just a student from the academy. Even if she had friends with driving experience, they could only drive spirit swords or flying cars at most.
How could they possibly pilot a starship?
