The Ancient Gods' Whisper-Chapter 1032 - 486: Prelude

"Ladies and gentlemen, the plane has landed at Modu Hongqiao International Airport. The outside temperature is 33 degrees Celsius. The aircraft is taxiing. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the overhead compartments until the aircraft..." The gentle voice of the flight attendant echoed in the cabin, accompanied by the severe turbulence sensation.

Xia Zhi turned off the broadcast, took up a wet wipe to clean the cold sweat off her forehead, and let out a long breath.

As a student of the Central Spirit Core Institute, she had just entered her internship period. Due to her average test scores but pleasing appearance, she was assigned to work for an airline and became a flight attendant.

This job seemed to have little to do with the transcendent realm, yet, it was actually an indispensable basic position.

Because the Ether Association’s headquarters was located in Modu, with daily passenger flow of at least two million people, who knew how many Ascenders were among them. It was an extraordinary time, and the control over transportation was very strict. The current President stated that every basic position must have extraordinary powers stationed.

The aviation domain, in particular, was on high alert.

Today’s luck was not good. As soon as the plane took off, it encountered elemental turbulence. She had to comfort ordinary passengers, conceal the existence of extraordinary powers, and constantly guard against potential terrorist attacks.

Fortunately, the plane landed safely in the end. The few hours of delay weren’t a big deal.

Unfortunately, the passengers on this flight mostly thought they had encountered an air disaster. Now surviving, they cried with relief, and some even fainted on the spot and would need assistance later.

Throughout the airport, only two people remained exceptionally calm.

Xia Zhi secretly opened the curtain and observed two passengers in the front row of first class.

Huai Yin slowly got up from the front row business seat, glanced at the old watch on his wrist, and realized it was already five in the afternoon. He said with some annoyance, "I told you not to take a plane, we were discovered anyway."

His voice was not loud, yet only the person next to him could hear.

"Aren’t we here to declare war brazenly?"

Jiang Yanli shrugged, "The Central Spirit Core Institute must have set time-space barriers; there’s no way to transport directly there."

Huai Yin thought that was true, looked at the dim sky, and said casually, "I’m curious, how did we encounter elemental turbulence on the way? Could it be that an Ancient God showed up?"

The elemental turbulence they encountered earlier indeed made both of them sweat.

The two old rogues almost used extraordinary abilities to teleport off the plane.

Clearly, the elemental turbulence targeted the two of them.

Someone didn’t want them to reach Modu, but ultimately did not stop them.

"If it were the Kua Fu Ancestor, they most likely wouldn’t have stopped."

Jiang Yanli curled his lips, "The Bai Ze Clan can be ruled out, the Candle Dragon Clan is fighting internally, so they wouldn’t come either."

"The Qilin Clan has almost been wiped out by their Supreme, and the Xuanming Clan is still asleep in the Returning Ruins."

Huai Yin grinned, "Only the Vermilion Bird Clan remains, huh?"

Outside the porthole, the dim sea of clouds was disrupted by the hurricane, like shattered willow fluff, or bizarre corals, with a rift torn in the mist, resembling a bird spreading its wings.

Or perhaps a terrifyingly sinister face.

The two old rogues exchanged a smile, "For the Heavenly Person’s Wedge?"

The Vermilion Bird Clan had hidden so deeply, yet now they couldn’t hold back and wanted to surface.

As for why they didn’t make a move, it was easy to understand.

Because apart from them, another more captivating figure had also arrived in Modu.

"Your student is really useful."

Jiang Yanli remarked, "If possible, the Vermilion Bird Clan would definitely want to bypass the two of us, eliminate your student at some secret moment, and take the Colorless Jade."

Huai Yin also smiled, "Indeed useful."

Xia Zhi suspected these two passengers were Ascenders, but unfortunately, she had no evidence.

That old man was indeed of age, yet carried an inexplicable charm; he must have been a handsome man in his youth, especially with those deep eyes, imbued with the vicissitudes of life as if reflecting the joys and sorrows of the entire world. Even the most ordinary shirt and pants seemed to exude an indescribable story when worn by him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

As for the white-haired youth, his smile was as bright and warm as the sun. Throughout the journey, he chatted with the flight attendants, his wide range of knowledge astonishing people, as if he knew everything from astronomy to geography, speaking eloquently and endlessly.

Yet you didn’t find him annoying at all, as his smile and voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made you unconsciously fascinated.

A sudden urgent voice came from the headphone communication channel.

"Peak Sky International flight MH214, please be aware, it has been detected that there is a terrorist presence in the cabin, do not open the cabin door, shut down all power facilities, open the weapon storage..."

Accompanied by the noisy sound of electric current, Xia Zhi was shocked, her delicate face turning pale.

She didn’t expect that in just her first month of internship, she’d encounter such a situation.

She was a Fourth Rank Heavenly Master, lacking strong perceptual ability, unable to discern who the terrorists were in the vast cabin. She quickly followed instructions to lock the cabin door, shutting down the power facilities.

Her colleagues were all ordinary people, completely unaware of the impending danger.

Xia Zhi tied her smooth black hair, encouraged herself in front of the mirror, and her gaze became calm.
