Chapter 1849: Chapter 1846: Meteorite Belt
Ling Feng was shocked: "Heavy casualties, is the opponent really that powerful?"
"There are at least thirty experts at the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm!" Master Chen said solemnly, "But to gather thirty experts at the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm in just two days, other than the Storm Sect and the Ximen Family, I canât think of any other powers, of course, it might be a coalition of several forces. In any case, this could be dangerous for us!"
It was Ling Fengâs first time seeing Master Chen with such a tense expression: "Uncle Cheng, what should we do now?"
"You must take Xiaoxue and leave first!" Master Chen said gravely, "With Xiaoxue here, it will only put her in danger!"
Ling Feng frowned: "Has the situation become so urgent?"
Master Chen sighed and said, "They have exposed themselves entirely, determined to obtain the Wordless Heavenly Scripture! And now that the Wordless Heavenly Scripture has entered Xiaoxueâs body, since we canât produce it, theyâre sure to capture Xiaoxue!"

"If this airship were full of Cheng Family members, we would surely resist to the death, but..." Master Chen shook his head, "Though weâre all part of the same guild, they certainly wouldnât risk everything for the Cheng Family!"
Ling Feng exhaled: "If thatâs the case, Iâll take Xiaoxue away! But what about your safety? And will Xiaoxue agree?"
Master Chen took a deep breath: "Ling Feng, havenât you seen Xiaoxue these past two days?"
Ling Feng nodded.
"Thatâs because Xiaoxue is currently in a deep sleep!" Master Chen said, "Ever since she got onto the airship, Xiaoxue said the Wordless Heavenly Scripture emitted a ray of light inside her, and then she fell into a deep sleep, presumably entering the world of the Wordless Heavenly Scripture to understand it!"
Ling Feng realized, so thatâs why Xiaoxue has been missing these days.
"Originally, Xiaoxue didnât want me to tell you about this, but given the situation now, I have no choice but to entrust this to you!" Master Chen said, "I will arrange for your secret departure shortly, head towards the direction of the Cheng Family once you leave, donât worry about us here, as long as Xiaoxue is safe, they canât threaten me!"
Ling Feng took a deep breath and nodded: "Alright!"
Following Master Chen, they arrived at Xiaoxueâs room, where Ling Feng saw Cheng Minxue lying in bed!
At this moment, Cheng Minxue was enveloped in a soft white light, giving off a very peaceful feeling, and the light seemed to carry a peculiar energy, conveying a sense of purity.
However, Ling Feng could sense that Cheng Minxue was not in any danger, but rather in a profound state of mind.
"Ling Feng, I entrust Xiaoxue to you!" Master Chen said solemnly, looking at Ling Feng.
Ling Feng could feel the force behind Master Chenâs words, he nodded: "Alright, I will protect Xiaoxue, unless I die, I wonât let her be harmed at all!"
"I trust you!" Master Chen said, "Take Xiaoxue, letâs go, I have arranged for your immediate departure, time is of the essence!"
Ling Feng nodded, then picked Cheng Minxue up, and in Master Chenâs gaze, Cheng Minxue vanished.
"Space Artifact?" Master Chen naturally sensed the subtle spatial fluctuations and asked in surprise.
Ling Feng nodded: "My Spatial Cave Mansion, I think Xiaoxue should be safe inside! Do we still need to leave?"
"Leave, ensure safety!" Master Chen looked relieved, with the Spatial Cave Mansion, both Ling Feng and Cheng Minxueâs safety index increased significantly.
Just as Master Chen was taking Ling Feng to the exit, they encountered Dao Chengzi leading representatives from the Zuo Family and other families.
"Master Chen, what a coincidence, we were just about to find you!" Dao Chengzi said with a smile, "I have something to discuss with you!"
Master Chen felt anxious inside, but his face remained composed: "What is it? Can it wait a moment? I have some urgent matters to attend to!"
Dao Chengzi paused: "Whatâs so urgent?"
"Yes, canât it wait?" Patriarch Zuo smiled and said, "Brother Cheng wouldnât leave us all hanging here, would he?"
Master Chen frowned, just as he was about to speak, a warning alarm suddenly sounded in the airship.
"Whatâs happening? Why is there an alarm? Did something dangerous happen?"
"I donât know, letâs go check the control room!"
...
Master Chenâs expression changed slightly, could the opponent have arrived already, and this quickly? Wasnât it supposed to take an hour, yet barely a quarter of an hour has passed!
Master Chen was feeling a bit unsettled, he glanced at Ling Feng, who quietly said, "Uncle Cheng, donât worry, it hasnât reached the worst yet."
Master Chen took a deep breath, calming his mind, "Letâs go see whatâs happening!"
When they reached the control room, they found no enemies but a meteorite cluster rapidly moving ahead of the airship.
"How can there be a meteorite cluster on this route?" Patriarch Zuo said in surprise, "There wasnât one before!"
Dao Chengzi frowned: "Indeed, but these meteorite clusters donât seem man-made; perhaps thereâs been a change on this route? If we continue forward and get hit by a meteorite, it could be disastrous!"
A swiftly moving meteoriteâs power is comparable to a Pinnacle Master of the Azure Sky Realmâs full-force strike! Even though the airship has a barrier, it canât withstand too many attacks.
"What if we reroute?" Patriarch Zuo asked, "This meteorite belt shouldnât be too large, rerouting would be safer!"
Dao Chengzi nodded: "Alright, letâs reroute, safety first!"
At this moment, Ling Fengâs eyes lit up as he suddenly said, "Uncle Cheng, Iâd like to check out the meteorite belt, why donât you go ahead while I investigate?"
"Wouldnât that be too dangerous?" Master Chen was pleased but feigned hesitation.
Ling Feng smiled and said, "Itâs fine, the airship is dangerous because itâs a big target and moves slowly; Iâm agile! Plus, rerouting would take at least half a day, I can just cross the meteorite belt; I might reach you first! Iâm very curious about the meteorites; they reportedly contain many magical things, let me visit on my own!"
Master Chen looked at Dao Chengzi, "Guild President, why donât you arrange a small airship for Ling Feng to satisfy his curiosity about the meteorite belt?"
