Chapter 2280  Arrival Of The Flourishing Flower Sword Sect

Millions of pairs of eyes watched the sky, as the Illusory Cannons glowed, showing that they were ready to shoot at any moment.

Most of the guards and soldiers had not seen these cannons in action before, but they had certainly heard of their history.

”Star Breaker Cannon Arrays are charged and ready to shoot!” In the formation hall, the Formation masters announced.

”Hold.” Head Formation Master Suzi said as beads of sweat dripped down everyoneʼs faces.

They all knew how sensitive this situation was and the slightest lapse of judgment could lead to grave consequences. They all held their breaths as the Fifteen Immortal ships got closer.

It wasnʼt until the ships were near the outer border of the Rust Sky Worldʼs Atmosphere did they let out their breaths.

”Itʼs the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect!” they said out loud.

”Disengage! I repeat, Disengage!” Head Formation Master Suzi immediately ordered.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

As soon as the command was given out, the formation master got to work and the array in the sky changed once more. The Star Breaker Cannon Arrays dimmed down, as the illusory cannons disappeared. ~huu~

With the deactivation of the cannons, all the soldiers and guards in the city below took breaths of relief.

But this didnʼt mean that they could relax just yet. There was still a lot more to go. At the very least, today was not going to be an easy day for them.

The formation masters watched as the Fifteen Immortal flying ships of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect came to a stop hundreds of kilometer above the Dao Wind Empire. They were close enough that the ships could be clearly observed on the formation screens.

In lead was the flagship that carried the emblem of the Flourishing Flower Sword sect.

It was that of a mountain on which a pink flower was painted. And on top of this mountain, a sword was embedded. The flagship was the largest among the fifteen ships and had six masts, all of which were painted with thousands upon thousands of runes. The flagship was easily over a thousand meters long and two hundred meters tall.

The two ships on its either side were about a third smaller than it being six hundred meters long, and had four masts each.

These were the commander ships and the rest of the ships were just the standard Immortal Flying Ships of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect, having three masts each and being a hundred meters long.

It was impossible to tell how many people were present in the Immortal Flying Ships, but considering their size, they could easily carry at least a quarter million people in total. It was a significant number of people, and if all of these were filled with immortals it could easily be considered as an army!

Depending on the cultivation base of the Immortals, it was a number big enough to pose a great threat to the Dao Wind Empire. As such, the precautions taken by them seemed to be rather necessary.

Head Formation Master Suzi watched the formation screens with his sharp eyes and waited until a message finally appeared on it.

”The Flourishing Flower Sword Sect is asking permission to approach.” The formation masters stated.

In response, Head Formation Master Suzi took out a communication jade slip and held it. A message was sent out and a response was received within a minute.

”The Emperor has permitted it!” Head Formation Master Suzi ordered.

~HUALA~

Upon his order, the formation masters got working and a massive change happened above the sky of the Dao Wind Empire.

Layer after layer became visible in the sky, each being thicker than the previous one. It was not hard to tell that all these were barriers!

If the empire didnʼt permit anyone to approach, they would simply be unable to proceed through the barriers that protected the empire from any attacks that came from the sky. It was a testament to the defenses of the Dao Wind Empire and had been protecting it for thousands of years.

~SHUA~

A circular gate opened up in all of the barriers, as a tunnel was formed. It gave the ships a path to enter through, but it was only big enough for one ship to pass through it at a time. As such, the ships of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect all stood in a single file and entered the tunnel.

During this entire process, they were being closely observed but nothing out of the ordinary happened. And when they finally left the tunnel the ships could now be seen by everyone with their naked eyes.

They were close enough that even the commoners could see them by simply peeking out through their windows!

It was certainly not their first time seeing an Immortal Flying Ship, as many such ships arrived in the Capital City every day, but the ships that had arrived today were clearly a cut above them.

Especially considering the security measures that had been taken to ensure that nothing problematic happened during their arrival.

The soldiers and the guards watched it all too and finally saw the ships come to a halt about five hundred meters above the city.

~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~

Thousands of individuals appeared on the ship decks and almost all of them seemed to be dressed in similar styled robes, along with a sword strapped to their backs. Their robes all had the emblem of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect on their chest, with a few more patterns added to it depending on the ranking of each individual.

The most eye catching among them was a middle aged man. A thin mustache and a beard was present on his face but not a single hair of his was greying. He carried a single edged sword on his back that was unsheathed and was freely emanating a sharp aura.

His demeanor was firm yet sharp and he looked down at the City below in an expressionless manner. ”The Patriarch of the Flourishing Flower Sword Sect has arrived!”
