Good morning. No work today. Shall we go see that female soldier?

Tingyun Fox Ears twitched slightly as she sensed something and said, "Hmm. Sister has taken the day off today because it's the anniversary of that gentleman's death. I should also help prepare some offerings."

Bai Yan nodded without saying anything more: "Okay. Go ahead."

The so-called Three Tribulations period of the Immortal Ship will naturally not end after just one life tribulation.

The tribulation of life has passed; the tribulation of fire is about to arrive.

The bountiful civilization known as the Winged Ones is about to attack the Celestial Ship and seize the Jianmu Tree.

In the more distant past, it was Yun Jun from the Winged Creators civilization who inspired the ancient emperor, marking the beginning of the quest for medicine by the Immortal Ship.

Now that the elixir of immortality has been obtained, the Cloud Lords who incited the Immortal Ship to seek the elixir are also coming to snatch it.

Bai Yan waited in place for a moment.

The female warrior who had been with Tingyun for a century walked over with light steps.

This is an ordinary soldier whose name may be forgotten in the vast history of the Immortal Ship.

Tingyun, now a young woman, walked over with a smile. Based on her knowledge of the commercial street, she had already asked the florist to prepare the bouquets needed for the memorial service.

For the gentleman who saved my sister back then...

But perhaps Tingyun could prepare another bouquet of white flowers...

The female soldier put her hand on Tingyun's shoulder and smiled brightly: "Let's go, little guy."

"Sister, I'm already so big now."

"No matter how old you are, you will always be my little one. I will always protect you."

Chapter 116 Why Did She Take Up the Sword...?

The fox-girl and the female warrior were walking towards the flower shop in the commercial street, unaware that turmoil had already begun in the distant starry sky.

The Zhu Ming Xianzhou, not far from Luofu, recently observed the gravity of a massive celestial body, but they were unable to detect any light signals.

When the celestial ship got close enough, the stargazers witnessed that this enormous object was a tree-like world that devoured the stars, the homeland of the ancient enemies and the wing-makers [Qiongsang].

The behemoth ships that the Celestial Ships encountered during the Solitary Voyage era have now reappeared in the observers' field of vision.

During the era of solitary navigation, the sight of flesh once caused the destruction of a celestial ship called Daiyu.

Driven by the Wingers, the Visionaries have formed a symbiotic relationship. The behemoths that were not abandoned and are now driven by the Wingers are no weaker than those from the era of solitary navigation.

However, the Immortal Ship, which had developed rapidly during its golden age, would not be driven to the brink of despair by a mere sightless creature.

However, an entire interstellar civilization of immense wealth is approaching them.

As if drawn by the power emanating from the flourishing Jianmu tree atop Luofu, the branches of Qiongsang began to approach the Luofu Immortal Ship.

The long-standing internal strife of the Sheng Jie period, the renewed rebellion of the Jurchens, and the temporary suspension of the population migration plan...

Although the various celestial ships have been recuperating, their combat strength is naturally far less than before the calamity occurred.

Having just emerged from hardship and caught their breath, the immortal ships, like wounded soldiers who had just severed an arm, encountered the enemy's most valiant veterans, who were fully armed and clad in armor.

The result can be imagined.

"Wait……"

The female warrior's communication device suddenly rang while she was buying flowers with the fox-girl at the flower shop.

The female soldier pulled out her communication device, and an urgent notification from the military appeared before her eyes: An anomaly detected; Zhu Ming and Luo Fu are about to encounter the enemy. All soldiers stationed abroad must immediately return to their posts! Enter combat readiness!

The young girl, Tingyun, had already received the bouquet of white flowers for the memorial service: "Sister, let's go."

The female soldier put away her communication device, placed her hands on Tingyun's shoulders, and said seriously, "I have an urgent matter to attend to and need to return to the team. You go back first, and when I come back, we'll go together to present flowers to that gentleman."

The perceptive Tingyun sensed something was amiss; she had never seen this look on her sister's face before: "What happened?"

The female soldier concealed her serious expression and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, just a minor incident. You go home and stay there."

Then, the female soldier patted the girl Tingyun's head: "Little one, be a good girl and wait for your sister to come back."

The girl, Tingyun, took out a gift she had prepared a few days ago from her pocket—a hand-sewn pendant: "Um... this is a talisman for my sister. I hope she likes it."

The female soldier accepted the gift: "Yes, sister likes it very much. I have to go now. Goodbye."

As soon as she finished speaking, the female soldier clutched the amulet tightly in her hand and ran quickly out of the flower shop.

Tingyun had no choice but to take the white bouquet of flowers home temporarily.

On the way, they also encountered Bai Yan, who was walking his bird in a cage at his door, drinking tea and eating desserts.

The fox-girl, remembering what the female warrior had said about seeking refuge, made up a white lie: "Uncle Bai, I heard the weather bureau is going to send rain today, so go home and rest. It's a bit windy, so remember to close the doors and windows."

Bai Yan finished his tea and said, "Really? Then I'll head back later. You go ahead and do your thing."

"Okay. Take care, Uncle Bai."

Despite her worries, Tingyun obediently returned home as the female soldier had advised.

Soon after, disaster struck as expected.

Tingyun sat by the window, gazing at the distant scenery.

A tremor spread throughout the flagship, breaking the tranquility, and Tingyun's gaze was firmly drawn to the changes outside.

The protective shield surrounding the flagship rippled, a sight never before witnessed. Tingyun observed a line emerging from the shield, like the tentacles of a creature, tearing through it.

A massive branch of the giant tree [Qiong Sang] stretched out, like a ray of light hanging in the sky, bending and traversing the stars, tearing through the shields of the flagship, and touching the tip of the Jianmu tree.

A bridge leading to the interior of the Luofu Immortal Ship was thus erected, resembling a long-planned invasion.

The branches of the [Qiong Sang] play a leaping role.

From the cracks emerged countless winged enemies, clad in armor, their long wings as magnificent and deadly as peacocks.

They came rushing in, spreading their wings on the branches and falling onto the fairy boat. At first glance, they looked like gods descending to earth, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that they were demons crawling out of hell.

They are the warriors of the Wingers, the Guardians of the Sky. They came with the growth of the branches, intending to seize the miracle of the Jianmu and use all the resources of this mobile interstellar civilization for their own purposes.

They call themselves "Cloud Lords," and intelligent beings who lack the ability to fly are collectively referred to as "Dust People," who are only fit to be enslaved by the "Cloud Lords." The residents on the immortal ship are naturally no exception.

Unlike encountering enemies on the outside, the residents inside the city usually do not directly encounter enemies, but the Wingers went directly deep into the interior of Luofu.

Some of the more brutal Celestial Guardians broke out of the Jianmu range and, while scouting ahead, began to indiscriminately slaughter the Xianzhou citizens in the residential areas.

Houses without any protective equipment are nothing more than fragile foam, easily broken by their touch, and blood flows from under the rubble.

Disrupting the order in the rear and making it difficult for the enemy to attend to both ends is also one of their tasks.

The common people are nothing more than their slaves. Too few will cause trouble, but too many will consume more resources. It doesn't matter if some die.

"Quick! Get to safety!"

"Hiding in the house won't help, come with us!"

……

Tingyun heard a commotion outside, the loudest of which was the shouts of the soldiers leading people to safety.

Tingyun also came out of her house. The woman who had picked her up from the starry sky hadn't returned yet. Her aunt...

"Little guy, what are you standing there for! Let's go!"

Tingyun had just stepped outside when she heard a familiar voice. The female soldier had not been sent to the most brutal front lines, but had been assigned here to lead the people to safety.

A female warrior clad in silver armor raises her longsword as a marker, guiding people toward the designated refuge.

The other soldiers who accompanied her also joined in directing the evacuation efforts.

Their mission was to escort these residents to a designated location where they would receive comprehensive protection from the military and their flagship.

As this process unfolded, the shadows of darkness drew ever closer. The Sky-Defying scouts among the Wingers, carrying the threat of death, rapidly approached.

His gaze was fixed on the fleeing crowd, ready to launch a fatal attack at any moment.

"Captain, we've encountered an enemy at the six o'clock position!"

Upon hearing this, the female soldier immediately turned to face the enemy, gripped her weapon tightly, and shouted, "Everyone, take your positions! We will escort them to the refuge!"

Chapter 117 Don't stop! Keep going!

The tense atmosphere was conveyed through the residents' footsteps, and the female soldier's voice was like a solid bulwark.

Every soldier in the ranks responded quickly, gripping their weapons and engaging the Winged Sky Guardian scouts who were pursuing the refugee group from behind.

The troops advanced relentlessly under the command of the female general. Wei Tianzhong's scouts darted through the shadows, trying to find an opening to attack, but the soldiers' dense defense and the female general's resolute command made it difficult for him to make a move.

However, the protective technology of the Xianzhou, which had just experienced a golden age of rapid development, still had many shortcomings...

In a moment of carelessness, Wei Tianzhong's scouts suddenly accelerated and rushed straight to the team's weak point.

The crisis appeared in an instant. The female soldier's senses were exceptionally sharp. She immediately noticed the change and her figure flashed through the crowd like a silver lightning bolt, meeting the scout.

The sword left a deep gash in the opponent's armor, and her armor was similarly torn by the grappling hooks under the opponent's feet, neither of them could hold out for long.

"Protect them!" she shouted through gritted teeth. Swords and claws clashed fiercely, sparks flying as the female warriors and scouts exchanged blows.

The scouts' sharp claws tried to tear through the female warrior's armor, while she dodged and parried, buying as much time as possible to give the residents a chance to escape.

Just then, something unexpected happened—the female soldier's guard was slightly relaxed, and the scout seized the opportunity to strike her hard in the chest.

However, the female warrior was not easily subdued. At the crucial moment, she leaped backward, and the fatal blow narrowly escaped, causing only a superficial injury.

But suddenly another brutal winged being, the Heavenly Guardian, appeared high in the sky. Laughing wildly, it swooped down, seized the gap in the defense, and attacked the immortal boat people next to Tingyun.

The attack was so sudden that almost all the soldiers didn't have time to react.

The terrifying sound of wind being cut through the air came again.

This Celestial Scout was more powerful and ruthless. Compared to the previous scout, this enemy possessed stronger wings and sharper claws.

As the claws struck, the female warrior's figure once again flashed through the crowd like a silver lightning bolt, meeting the scouts head-on.

The blade left deep marks on her armor, but part of her protection had already cracked.
