Chapter 1743: The Helpless Xin Lu

When Guan Ziqing severed the connection of the Star Ship and the Ark to attack Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar, they could only flee separately. After the ships left, Guan Ziqing joined hands with Yan Yu to attack Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar. They kept as far away from the battlefield of the Sages as possible.

However, the Spirit Tip World definitely anticipated their actions and sent True Immortals to search for the ships.

Although finding the ships in the chaotic streams was not easy, the Spirit Tip World wouldn’t give up the slightest opportunity, even though the best option was to wait for the battle between the 3 Sages to come to an end.

After all, it would be best if Yan Yu or Guan Ziqing took the lead to look for the ships.

As the Star Ship was controlled by the members of the institution and they frequently navigated the chaotic streams, they were extremely adept when it came to traveling through the void. They easily adapted to the environment and responded accordingly. Easily reestablishing their trajectory, they started to return to the Heaven Observation Field. No one from the Spirit Tip World discovered them and they remained at the edge of the Star Curtain, waiting for the Jiuyin Ark to join them and for news of Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar.

However, the Jiuyin Ark, mainly controlled by the survivors from the Spirit Lyric World, was not so fortunate.

Despite having Xin Lu, a Grand Stargazer, personally piloting the Ark, the members of the Spirit Lyric World barely left the ruins, let alone piloted such a massive and complex Ark. Even a high-level True Immortal like Gu Mingzheng was useless when it came to it.

When they were following Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar and the Tongyou Institution’s Star Ship, they encountered no problems. However, as soon as they were attacked, they were immediately thrown into a state of chaos. They were lucky Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar sent Xin Lu to help them and they were driven by a desperate desire to save themselves. With her help, they managed to distance themselves from the battlefield and started to use the chaotic streams to conceal their tracks.

But after losing the guidance of the lead starship and the protection of Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar, faced with unfamiliar and dangerous surroundings, the centuries of ease and accustomed protection left the Spirit Lyric World survivors in a state of panic. Even Gu Mingzheng appeared helpless.

When Xin Lu was trying to help take control of the situation, she was suddenly faced with a change in attitude from those of the Spirit Lyric World due to her cultivation at the Martial Dipper Realm.

"What do you know?"

"What use is someone at the Martial Dipper Realm?"

"Isn't your job just to monitor us? Now that we're all in the same boat, I don't see what there is to keep track of!"

And so on, various snide and disruptive comments unabashedly arose around her.

Xin Lu attempted to emphasize the significance and authority of her Grand Stargazer status, but soon realized perhaps she was being too naive, or more likely, these people were too arrogant and ignorant. Some were even discussing the possibility of using the ark to break away from the Spirit Luxuriant World.

Realizing their sad mindset, Xin Lu chose to say no more.

Especially considering the Ark beneath her feet, designed by Chu Jia and assisted by Shang Xia's Origin Star Avatar to compress the mini Spirit Lyric World that could collapse at any moment they wanted, she didn’t bother asserting her authority.

Because in front of a group of narrow-minded and ignorant people, whatever she said would not sway their decision. Arguing with them would only put her in grave danger, especially since their cultivation levels were higher than hers. It would be easy if they wanted to kill a Martial Dipper Realm cultivator like herself.

Thus, Xin Lu chose to remain silent, intentionally minimizing her presence among the upper echelons of those from the Spirit Lyric World. At the same time, she kept a Heaven Liberation Talisman close in her sleeves to be activated at any moment.

The second she used it, it could not only allow her to draw on a portion of Shang Xia’s strength to protect her in times of danger, but also to serve as a beacon for Shang Xia’s Origin Star Avatar to locate her.

However... She truly regretted being alone on the Ark.

Fortunately, Xin Lu's luck wasn't too bad. Before they could recall her status as a Grand Stargazer of the Spirit Luxuriant World, the Ark was discovered.

The person who found them came from the Spirit Tip World, and he led a team of other True Immortals on another mid-scale Star Ship. It was much smaller than the Jiuyin Ark, and it was led by a fourth tier True Immortal, Yang Cha.

The True Immortals of the Spirit Tip World seemed fearless. Upon discovering the Jiuyin Ark, they immediately launched an attack.

The sudden assault from the Spirit Tip World genuinely startled those from the Spirit Lyric World. However, it also abruptly ended their internal disputes, forcing them to unite against the external enemy.

Fortunately, although they were inexperienced and had pretty weak martial wills, their cultivation and strength were genuine. They also had the Ark's grand formation to help them. Lacking the ferocity for one-on-one combat, their defense, bolstered by the fortress-like Ark, was more than sufficient.

In the chaotic streams, the members of the Spirit Tip World were unable to immediately send out news and call for reinforcements. Otherwise, those from the Spirit Lyric World might have even surrendered without a fight.

However, it wasn’t a plan to continue that way. If the Spirit Tip World sent a True Immortal out of the chaotic streams to call for backup, it wouldn’t be long before the Jiuyin Ark would be surrounded.

Reluctantly, Xin Lu once again approached Gu Mingzheng. This time, she said bluntly, "I have a way to shake these people off, but you have to trust me!"

"Why should we trust you?" one of the first tier True Immortals who was still nursing some injuries, immediately challenged.

Xin Lu glanced at him, aware that he was the only survivor from the conflict in the mini Spirit Lyric World. When they entered, he was the first to express his desire to surrender to keep his pitiful life.

Faced with the scrutiny and the pressure coming from the many True Immortals on board, Xin Lu said calmly, "In ten breaths' time, a spatial current will emerge between the Jiuyin Ark and the Spirit Tip World's ship. We’ll be pushed away, and it will be our best chance to temporarily escape their pursuit, and it will also prove my capabilities."

The first tier True Immortal stared blankly at her before sneering, "And how does proving your capabilities help?"

Xin Lu, surprised, looked at him like he was the stupidest fuck she had seen in her life and snorted, “All of you have been arguing for so long... Have you even thought of how you should get out of the chaotic streams?”
