Chapter 1064: Chapter 1033: Just Disappeared Like That......

The assassin targeted He Tiantian specifically, someone sought revenge against He Tiantian—it was a human action, not hard to understand.

But now, from within that stormy fury, a portion jutting out was chasing He Tiantian, attempting to devour her as if harboring some vendetta against her.

This was a natural phenomenon, and it left them utterly perplexed.

Even though Cui Ying had learned some spellcraft, she couldn’t figure out what was going on.

She was extremely anxious.

In midair, Wei Yuanyuan didn’t have the time to get to He Tiantian. It was Cui Ying who, pulling out a dagger strapped to her leg, cut the parachute cords, summoned her power, and sprinted towards He Tiantian.

At this moment, she could no longer afford to hide her abilities.

It wasn’t just about saving He Tiantian, her good friend, but also about salvaging her family legacy, her sect.

Cui Ying understood that she was accompanying He Tiantian because of Huo Yingjie’s request.

Having received the techniques bestowed upon her family by Huo Yingjie, Cui Ying had to protect He Tiantian at all costs.

If anything happened to He Tiantian, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Huo Yingjie.

Huo Yingjie, while appearing gentlemanly on the surface, was acutely aware of He Tiantian’s importance to him. He was a very dangerous man, and He Tiantian was his weakness.

Should anything befall He Tiantian, Huo Yingjie might commit acts so shocking and terrifying.

He would stop at nothing, devastating everything in his path.

In Wei Yuanyuan’s astonishment, Cui Ying had already swiftly flown towards He Tiantian.

However, she was still a step too late.

The dark clouds, the tempest, it gradually enveloped He Tiantian.

Just as Cui Ying and Wei Yuanyuan were in shock, He Tiantian’s body seemed to become transparent, fading little by little, until she disappeared.

In broad daylight, before the two of them, a supernatural event unfolded.

Suddenly, all around, there was silence.

The dark clouds were gone.

The storm had stopped.

The sun had come out.

The sky was a clear azure blue, echoing the deep blue of the sea.

Over the sea surface, birds occasionally skimmed by, now and then swooping down to catch small fish that surfaced before soaring up into the sky.

Yet none of this brought joy to Wei Yuanyuan or Cui Ying.

"Where is Tiantian?" Cui Ying had reached the spot where He Tiantian had just vanished, reaching out to grab her, but she touched nothing, only the gentle sea breeze.

Wei Yuanyuan also widened her eyes and shook her head, saying, "She’s disappeared."

It wasn’t death, nor falling into the sea; she had vanished right before their eyes.

Cui Ying had no foothold beneath her and struggled to maintain balance, holding onto Wei Yuanyuan’s arm.

Wei Yuanyuan was curious about Cui Ying’s abilities. But now, she was even more worried about He Tiantian’s whereabouts.

"What do we do now?" Cui Ying asked anxiously, "We have to find Tiantian..."

Wei Yuanyuan was also very anxious, but in the vast sea, she was helpless.

Especially since He Tiantian had disappeared in such a bizarre manner.

"Cui Ying, who are you really?" Wei Yuanyuan always thought of Cui Ying as a formidable person, but she had never imagined that she possessed such skill, even the ability to fly in the air.

With a wry smile, Cui Ying replied, "I won’t hide it from you anymore, I am a cultivator. However, there are very few cultivators in the world, and since we’re now in the Age of Dharma Decline, cultivation is extremely difficult, so I haven’t achieved much."

My god, isn’t being able to fly in the sky already a great achievement?

"You’re already very impressive, I can’t compare to you," Wei Yuanyuan sighed, she couldn’t do the same despite all the training she had undergone.

Cui Ying gave a bitter smile and said, "Let’s not talk about this anymore, I will tell you about it when we have a chance in the future. Right now, we need to think about how to find Tiantian? How do we contact the outside world?"

As Cui Ying spoke, her other hand took out a compass from her bosom.

Upon looking at it, the compass needle was frantically jumping around as if it were breakdancing.

Obviously, it was being interfered with.

Unable to figure out what was happening as it was beyond her understanding, Cui Ying was desperate to contact the outside world and have her father, her uncle, or even Huo Yingjie come to find He Tiantian.

Huo Yingjie was so capable, surely he could find He Tiantian.

Wei Yuanyuan’s eyebrows furrowed as she said, "I’ve already sent out a distress signal, and our department’s unique distress signal too. I estimate we will be rescued very soon."

"That’s good," Cui Ying nodded, if that was the case, perhaps Huo Yingjie could receive the message in the shortest possible time, "So what do we do now? Just float in the water if we fall in later?"

"No need, I brought an inflatable life raft, big enough for three of us. Now..." Wei Yuanyuan felt somewhat sad and disheartened, the mission had failed.

If something had really happened to He Tiantian, she would definitely feel guilty.

Hearing this, Cui Ying was slightly relieved, no need to soak in the water the whole time.

Soon after, Cui Ying and Wei Yuanyuan hit the water’s surface.

Wei Yuanyuan took out the raft from the backpack behind her, quickly inflated it, and an inflatable life raft appeared before them.

Wei Yuanyuan and Cui Ying climbed on, gasping for breath heavily.

They could now rest for a while, hoping there would be no strong winds or rain.

The two of them just silently gazed at the sky, hoping for He Tiantian to miraculously appear before their eyes.

The day was hot, the sun scorching the two people on the life raft.

However, both of them dared not be careless, remaining vigilant of their surroundings.

Anxiously waiting.

Where on earth could He Tiantian have gone?

Cui Ying had seen some spell formations before, but those were all illusions, and it was impossible for a living person to just vanish from sight.

The sun gradually set, and although it took away the heat, it also took away the light, and it became dark.

Wei Yuanyuan and Cui Ying prayed there wouldn’t be any large fish around.

Hungry, they ate two pieces of biscuit and took a few sips of water, not daring to eat or drink too much.

They didn’t know how long they would have to stay at sea, so they needed to conserve.

Meanwhile, the pilot, before being killed by the hijackers, had managed to send out a distress signal, and Wei Yuanyuan had sent one too; they were now outside of Chinese waters.

They hoped a nearby ship would rescue them.

Upon receiving the distress signal, the authorities quickly locked onto the coordinates of the accident, and particularly upon discovering it was the private plane of the American-Chinese tycoon Bai Qiongyu, they immediately contacted nearby ships to aid in the rescue.

Once Bai Qiongyu received the information, with a reward of ten million US dollars for rescuing anyone, people were willing to come.

The Chinese government also received Wei Yuanyuan’s distress signal and urgently initiated a search and rescue operation.

As for the signal Cui Ying sent to China through special channels, it wasn’t provided by the state, which with its current capabilities, couldn’t achieve this yet.

It was a Jade Pendant given to her by Huo Yingjie.

At the time, Huo Yingjie had told her earnestly that in times of crisis, she could use it to notify him.

So when Cui Ying crushed the Jade Pendant, Huo Yingjie, who was conducting experiments in the Yanjing Materials Research Institute, felt dizzy and as if his brain were being pricked by needles.

Huo Yingjie closed his eyes, and an image that made his heartbeat race appeared in his mind—below the thunderous and lightning-filled storm clouds, He Tiantian was gone.
