Star Odyssey Chapter 497: Appearance

Chapter 497: Appearance

The activity among the s.p.a.cecraft in the sky drew even Mu Rong’s attention. Ling Que was the only one who was bullheadedly rus.h.i.+ng forward without thinking of anything else. He didn’t even raise his head to look at his surroundings.

“You guys, shut up.” Another fleet of vessels formed a message, this time from the Sword Sect. Apparently, they couldn’t stand looking at the scene any longer.

The Wen family and the Daynight clan were clearly fighting with the number of s.p.a.ces.h.i.+ps that they possessed. From the Sword Sect’s point of view, the other two major powers were making fools of themselves. All three of them were major organizations, so how could they accept this ridiculing act?

However, it seemed as though the Wen family had secured a decent head start. Over the next period of time, s.h.i.+ps continued to form words high in the sky to help guide Limiteers in the right directions and evade danger. The skies above Planet Pyrolyte became quite lively, but a large number of s.p.a.cecraft were consumed in the process.

Suddenly, Northcastle Weave, Frostwave Weave, and several other nearby weaves received a large number of orders for personal s.p.a.cecraft. Even the Great Yu Empire received orders for an astounding number.

Gavin, the finance minister of the Great Yu Empire, was delighted. The Great Yu Empire had numerous vessels whose models had long since become obsolete stored away, and Gavin quickly arranged for all of them to be sold to Northcastle Weave. He was prepared for a windfall.

One would expect that Planet Pyrolyte would soon become a graveyard for s.p.a.cecraft as countless s.h.i.+ps continued to crash down into it.

At this time, Wen Qichen had already ordered someone to take a s.p.a.cecraft and go after Ling Que. He was planning on stopping the Limiteer and telling him he was heading in the wrong direction. Wen Qian’er and the others had received a warning as well, so they had temporarily stopped moving towards Pyrolyte Lake. As long as Ling Que arrived at the lake, Pyrolyte Lake would belong to the Wen family.

Although Nightqueen Qiuyu kept sending more s.p.a.cecraft down and creating more confusing words and phrases, Wen Qian’er remained steadfast and did not act. This was because the Wen family’s reinforcements had already reached Planet Pyrolyte and enlightened her to the situation. Wen Qian’er was currently scolding Ling Que to death in her heart; their forces had almost fallen for a trap and been wiped out.

The Wen family had sent at least thirty people after Ling Que in hopes of stopping him.

Lu Yin watched this grand show take place, but he soon lost all interest. Someone had come up with a strange idea, and now, countless vessels were being used to form words in the sky.

A day later, Ling Que finally sensed that something wasn’t right and came to a stop. Why haven’t I haven’t arrived at Pyrolyte Lake?

There were dozens of people from the Wen family and the Daynight clan around him as they fought fiercely. The Daynight clan was afraid that Ling Que would be found and be guided to Pyrolyte Lake.

Ling Que activated his detector and tried to find some pyrolyte within the local vicinity. If there was pyrolyte, then there would definitely be people there as well. He then took off in a different direction. Though he still wasn’t running in the correct direction, at least he wasn’t running away from the lake anymore. More importantly, he was running towards some Wen family members. Also, Ling Que finally saw that there were s.p.a.cecraft in the sky spelling out words. What’s going on?

Wen Qichen heaved a heavy sigh of relief. Ling Que had finally realized that something was wrong. The Wen family elder felt incredibly tired, even more exhausted than if he had fought against Nightqueen Qiuyu.

Lu Yin and Hai Qiqi were now very close to Pyrolyte Mountain. They had searched for more than a day, but they still hadn’t found Zhuo Daynight. If they drew any closer to Pyrolyte Mountain, then there was a good chance that Mu Rong would discover them. However, Lu Yin wouldn’t give up. “Qiqi, keep going.”

“Okay—wait, what did you call me? Call me Sister Qi!” Hai Qiqi shouted back.

“Freedom, entertainment.” Lu Yin lightly spoke two words in response.

Hai Qiqi obediently continued to spread her forcefield out as she searched for Zhuo Daynight.

On Pyrolyte Mountain, Mu Rong suddenly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Hai Qiqi and Lu Yin. He stood up and took a single step before disappearing.

The many disciples of the Sword Sect were surprised since Mu Rong hadn’t left ever since he had helped them gain control of Pyrolyte Mountain.

Lu Yin’s eyes flickered. It turned out that they couldn’t avoid Mu Rong in the end.

Hai Qiqi’s forcefield continued spreading underground. Suddenly, her forcefield distorted, and she looked up with a yelp. She was shocked to see Mu Rong materialize right in front of her, and she immediately hid behind Lu Yin before looking at Mu Rong with cautious eyes.

Mu Rong stared at Lu Yin. “Who are you?”

“I’m not hostile. A friend of mine disappeared during the battle for Pyrolyte Mountain. I want to find out if they are hiding underground,” Lu Yin lightly answered.

Mu Rong looked calm. “No, there’s no one beneath Pyrolyte Mountain.”

Lu Yin was disappointed. Was she really not there?

“Why should we believe you?” Hai Qiqi poked her head out.

Mu Rong softly replied, “You can choose to believe my words or not, and you can search by yourself.”

After saying those words, he turned around and left. He had only wanted to confirm whether or not the intruder was an enemy, but it had turned out that the people were not hostile. However, after taking a few steps, he stopped and turned around. He carefully observed Lu Yin. “You seem very familiar.”

Lu Yin had used the Invisible Aura Technique and even changed his appearance, so even Hunters might not be aware of his ident.i.ty for a period of time. It was not surprising that Mu Rong had failed to see through his disguise.

“I have a common face,” Lu Yin nonchalantly replied.

Hai Qiqi nodded seriously.

My Rong’s eyes flashed. He stopped thinking about the matter as he returned to Pyrolyte Mountain.

Lu Yin had not expected Mu Rong to leave them be so easily, so he turned to Hai Qiqi and said, “Go ahead and use your full strength to search Pyrolyte Mountain.”

Hai Qiqi agreed and released the full power of her forcefield. This time, not only did Mu Rong sense her actions, but Liu Shaoqiu, who was even further away, did as well. It was a strong forcefield, but it wasn’t threatening. Liu Shaoqiu lifted his head, glanced at Mu Rong, and then did not pay much attention to the forcefield after that.

Since the two of them were protecting Pyrolyte Mountain, unless that person showed up, there was no Limiteer in the current universe who could threaten their control.

Soon, Hai Qiqi recalled her forcefield and shook her head. “There’s no one here.”

Lu Yin’s expression became complicated. If Zhuo Daynight really wasn’t at Pyrolyte Mountain, then where else could she be? Had she actually died in such a manner that not even her bones remained?

That was the only outcome that Lu Yin could think of. Given Zhuo Daynight’s power and her previous injuries, there was a strong possibility that she had died after being struck by the shockwaves from Mu Rong’s battle.

Lu Yin felt helpless, but he had already tried his best. Planet Pyrolyte was ma.s.sive, so he couldn’t search through it inch-by-inch. At the moment, he planned on going back, finding Zhanlong Daynight, and then asking him about the situation on Shenwu Continent. Afterwards, Lu Yin planned on returning to the Outerverse so that he could contact Nightking Yuanjing and ask the old man to step forward and order the Daynight clan members at Planet Pyrolyte to search for Zhou Daynight. Right, there were also the people from Northline Flowzone who could help him search.

As long as Zhuo Daynight wasn’t dead, she would definitely be found. For now, it was time to go to Pyrolyte Lake.

Lu Yin took Hai Qiqi back towards the lake.

In another place, Ling Que rapidly sped towards a distant pyrolyte mine. When he was only about halfway there, a member of the Wen family saw Ling Que and started ecstatically chasing after him while shouting.

Ling Que glanced at the man, but then he indifferently left.

In the sky, Wen Qichen almost crushed the s.p.a.cecraft to pieces.

This was what he had been the most worried about. No matter how many people were sent to find Ling Que, they might not be able to find him. And even if Ling Que was found, they might not be able to say a word to him. And furthermore, even if they did speak, he might not hear them. Being extremely fast wasn’t always a good thing.

In the end, that same Wen family cultivator managed to catch up Ling Que. The man was quite clever and had similarly detected the location of the nearby pyrolyte mine. The Wen family member managed to come face-to-face with Ling Que, and he told him the story of what happened in the sky for the past day, as well as what the s.p.a.cecraft writing meant.

Ling Que was stunned after hearing everything. He hadn’t expected the s.p.a.cecraft to write words across the sky because of him. He was at a loss as it turned out that he had actually gotten lost and ruined his own image in the process.

At this moment, the Wen family launched another batch of s.p.a.cecraft into the sky. This time, the s.p.a.cecraft all looked like older models. It appeared that the family had hurriedly gathered their s.h.i.+ps to arrange them in the words, “Lake Here.”

Ling Que pursed his lips, and his thoughts became even more complicated.

However, before he moved out, another group of s.p.a.cecraft appeared in the sky, also forming the words “Lake Here.” But this time, the words were pointed towards a different direction. Although both of the words were pointing towards the south, one of them was pointing to the southeast and the other the southwest.

Ling Que was stunned; which was the right direction?

Immediately afterwards, another batch of s.p.a.cecraft was sent out. This time, no words were formed. Instead, they formed an arrow pointing in one direction. Soon, batch after batch of vessels were sent out, each one forming a different arrow.

Ling Que blankly stared at the sky. There were more than a dozen arrows, so which one was the correct one?

He grabbed the cultivator from the Wen family. Ling Que had become a bit fl.u.s.tered, and he was about to fly into a rage from the humiliation. “Where exactly is Pyrolyte Lake?”

The Wen family cultivator was also taken aback. He actually didn’t know. He only knew that the lake was to the south, but he similarly couldn’t point out the exact location.

High above the sky, Wen Qichen was anxious. The Daynight clan was too despicable and shameless. They had gone to such lengths to muddle the messages’ meaning.

Mira was also helpless. Fortunately, at least Ling Que knew that he had been traveling in the wrong direction. At least he could look for the lake by moving towards the two directions.

Ling Que also thought of this, and he quickly carried out this plan. He covered his head and ran towards the south. He would make the Daynight clan pay the price for this embarra.s.sment.

Nightqueen Qiuyue was left helpless. She had tried her best, but Ling Que would definitely end up finding Pyrolyte Lake in the end. He wasn’t stupid, and a fierce battle was unavoidable.

Around Pyrolyte Lake, a desolate figure appeared with long fluttering black and white hair.

A Daynight clan member saw the person and immediately stepped towards her, “Zhuo Daynight, why have you only appeared now?”

This person was Zhuo Daynight. During the battle for Pyrolyte Mountain, she had been buried by the aftershocks of the battle, but luckily, she hadn’t been completely pummeled by the aftermath. She had finally emerged from underground after finding a place to recover. She had then headed for Pyrolyte Lake after seeing the words in the sky.

In fact, if Lu Yin had first gone to Pyrolyte Mountain and then simply gone a bit further south, he would have run into Zhuo Daynight. It was a pity that he had just missed her.

Zhuo Daynight glanced at the man and indifferently walked towards Pyrolyte Lake.

The man snorted coldly. Of the Daynight clan members who had come to Planet Pyrolyte, which of them didn’t know that Zhuo Daynight was a thorn in Nightqueen Yanqing’s side? One of them was a member of the Daynight clan while the other one was a Nightqueen. The clan members naturally knew whom to side with. Besides Zhanlong Daynight helping Zhuo Daynight by stopping an attack from Nightqueen Yanqing, everyone else was anxious for Zhuo Daynight to die. They had personally witnessed Zhuo Daynight being thrown underground, but not a single one of them had moved to rescue her.

Nightqueen Yanqing and Zhalong Daynight also saw that Zhuo Daynight had arrived at Pyrolyte Lake. Zhanlong Daynight did not pay her arrival any attention, but Nightqueen Yanqing laughed coldly; it was good that the girl had made it. It was impossible to avoid a battle with the Wen family, so Yanqing could just have Zhuo Daynight die at that time.

Zhuo Daynight stood beside Pyrolyte Lake and looked at her reflection in the lake. Perhaps she would never return. She raised her head, and her eyes seemed to see across the endless sky. She saw her parents, her clansmen, as well as the nightmare that she couldn’t shake off no matter what, the nightmare that caused her to be fearful for her entire life. Father, mother, I’m so tired. I’m sorry.

The battle for control over Pyrolyte Lake erupted a day later. Although the Daynight clan had continued to interfere with Ling Que’s sense of direction, Ling Que had still eventually found Pyrolyte Lake with a simple method; he had grabbed people and interrogated them. A large number of cultivators had ran away from Pyrolyte Lake after the Daynight clan arrived.

As for Wen Qian’er and the others, they didn’t move any closer to the lake. They were afraid of being wiped out by the Daynight clan, so they had actually started moving further and further away from Pyrolyte Lake.

Ling Que faced the entire Daynight clan on his own, just like when he had first arrived at Pyrolyte Mountain.

Nightqueen Yanqing stood in front of Ling Que, pretending to be wronged. “Brother Ling, are you really going to embarra.s.s this little sister? My Daynight clan has always been extremely respectful to Brother Ling and never rude.”

Ling Que looked at Nightqueen Yanqing’s enchanting face, alluring figure, and her stunning eyes, but his mood was very quickly ruined by the s.p.a.cecraft flying in the sky. “Your Daynight clan has really screwed around with me this time.”

Nightqueen Yanqing grudgingly replied, “This was all for the sake of Brother Ling. The elders in the clan don’t want to make things difficult for Brother Ling, which is why they disrupted you. Does Brother Ling really want to make things difficult for this little sister?”
