I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1258 - 1252: Weld the Door Shut for Me

Chapter 1258: Chapter 1252: Weld the Door Shut for Me
At night, under the City Lord’s warm hospitality, Zhang Menglong once again had a night of drinking until he couldn’t drink anymore. Although the father of Mo Bian City was a martial artist at the Void Transformation Realm eight stage, Zhang Menglong, just with those two puppets alone, had enough qualifications to converse with him as equals.
Moreover, Zhang Menglong had given so many precious Starstones to Mo Bian City, raising great hopes for his father to break through the Void Transformation Realm and aspire to the Wheel Mystery Realm. Naturally, they treated him as an honored guest.
During the banquet, they happened to talk about the matter of the Hand of God. It was then that the people at the City Lord’s Mansion realized that the recent destruction of the Hand of God’s secret base was also Zhang Menglong’s doing.
The next day, the City Lord’s family personally escorted Zhang Menglong to the Teleportation Array. In their Moyun Empire, there are a total of three Teleportation Arrays, one of which is in their Tiege City, saving Zhang Menglong quite a bit of travel effort.
"Mr. Zhang, this is the Teleportation Array of our Tiege City," City Lord Mo Yan pointed at the ancient bronze passage ahead, resembling a portal to the stars, "This was opened at a great cost by inviting a Saint, and the annual maintenance alone is astronomical."
"But the usage fee isn’t cheap either, right?" Zhang Menglong laughed, thinking only a fool would do business at a loss.
"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, this is a business that guarantees profits without risk. I’ve already recouped my investment long ago, and now the annual returns exceed 300%," Mo Yan laughed, "Of course, for you, who are our esteemed friend, there will be no charge whenever you use this Teleportation Array in the future."
"Thank you very much!" Zhang Menglong cupped his hands towards the people of Mo Bian City, "I’ll be off then. Until we meet again!"
After finishing his words, Zhang Menglong directly stepped into the entrance of the portal that looked like a Starry Sky door.
"What the... why is this a spaceship?" Zhang Menglong initially thought he would be pulled over directly by a force like before upon entering the Teleportation Array, but he unexpectedly found himself in a sleek spaceship instead.
"Kid, you just don’t get it, do you?" Little Bai said, "The jumping space of our Stigma Continent is extremely dangerous. If it directly teleports a human body, it would be torn apart by the power of space-time during the process. You need something sturdy enough and specially treated to withstand the tearing of this power of space-time. The cost of this spaceship even surpasses that of a Teleportation Array due to its materials, which are sufficient to forge desolate-grade weapons."
"Sounds pretty impressive."
"But even with this, there’s no guarantee of a hundred percent safety," Little Bai said, "In the region ravaged by this power of space-time, storm blades formed by concentrated space-time energy occasionally occur. If hit, you’ll be done for. However, such incidents are extremely rare, occurring only once or twice in millions of voyages. We shouldn’t be that unlucky."
"Have you heard of Murphy’s Law?" Zhang Menglong joked, "The more you don’t want something to happen, the more likely it will. We’re going to the Thunder Empire this time, and even with this space-time travel, it will take about three days. Who knows if we’ll be that unlucky?"
"Pah, pah, pah!" Little Bai quickly told Zhang Menglong to shut up, "I still need to restore my physical body; I can’t perish in this dreadful place. We will have a smooth journey. Now, close that trap of yours."
Zhang Menglong walked into the spaceship’s interior. Although the spaceship looked like the size of a fighter jet from outside, it used space compression technology inside, making it larger than the interior of a luxury yacht. The staff told him that this voyage would pass through 12 kingdoms and there would be over ten thousand passengers.
With the arrangements made by the City Lord’s Mansion, Zhang Menglong naturally got a free first-class seat. Almost everyone here was a strong practitioner above the Void Transformation Realm, as the seats cost over millions of Sacred Gold and provided top-level services, which ordinary people couldn’t afford.
Zhang Menglong entered the cabin, received a glance from nearby martial artists, and then their gaze shifted away. A mere martial artist at the Peak of God-breaking wasn’t worth much attention.
Unbothered, Zhang Menglong ordered some food and drinks from the serving attendant and began playing single-player games.
With a slight vibration and a sense of being pushed back, Zhang Menglong realized the spaceship had started. Through the glass-like transparent material beside him, the surrounding environment had turned into a colorful display, as if entering a mysterious tunnel, presenting a wondrous feeling.
...
The three days were indeed very boring. Although everyone had separate spaces and could cultivate within, for Zhang Menglong, who wasn’t one to diligently practice, spending days playing games and watching movies made time pass slowly.
"Whoa, Teacher Tao Nan Mu released a new work, hehe..." (500 words omitted here)
"Boom!" The just-immersed-in-Saint-mode Zhang Menglong was about to unwind when a violent shake nearly scared him to death.
"What’s going on?" Zhang Menglong cursed as he walked out of his room, seeing other martial artists in the first-class cabin poking their heads out from their rooms as well.
"Dear passengers... we’re in some trouble!" The expression on the stewardess’s face was very grave, with even a hint of despair.
"What’s going on exactly?" A martial artist with a short fuse enveloped the stewardess in his aura. He was a martial artist at the Void Transformation Realm, while the stewardess wasn’t even at the Heaven-breaking Realm, and she was nearly suffocated by this aura.
"How can she talk like this?" Another martial artist slapped him to the side, "Don’t be nervous. What’s going on? Take your time and tell us."
"M...Master, I think we’ve encountered some space-time turbulence."
"What did you say?" In an instant, everyone’s expression changed.
"We just encountered turbulence, and thanks to the captain’s timely evasive maneuvers, we managed to avoid it. But as you should know, space-time storms either don’t appear or appear in patches. We might enter the turbulence of a space-time storm at any moment, and if we get hit once..."
"Damn it! Why are we so unlucky?"
"Crap! If I hadn’t missed the previous spaceship, I wouldn’t have encountered this mess!"
"It’s all over, all your fault you jinx!" Even Little Bai, who usually stayed calm, showed a desperate face.
"Isn’t there any way out?" Someone tentatively asked.
"Only theoretically," the stewardess said, "Unless someone has miraculous piloting skills, precisely dodging all space-time blades. But our flying speed is so fast, and given the density of the space-time blades, it’s nearly impossible. Plus, spaceship operations are extremely difficult..."
"So if the piloting skill is good, there’s still a chance to get through safely, right?" A young voice sounded from the crowd, "How about letting me try?"
All eyes turned to Zhang Menglong.
"You? Can you fly a spaceship?" Everyone looked at him with suspicion.
"Yeah, can you do it?" a female martial artist echoed.
"Of course, I am proficient in 17,392 types of spacecraft, aced the driving tests one, two, and three in one go, known as the Jiangnan Takumi Fujiwara!"
"Besides, miss, never ask a man if he can do it!"
"??? What do you mean?"
"There’s no time to explain, weld the door shut; nobody’s getting off today!"
