Qiu Fuping told Jiang Chen the story of what had happened to her . Her family had been struck by a misfortune . As a result, Qiu Fuping felt herself inferior to her rich friends . Fortunately, her friend, Nangong Wan, didn't think it a big deal, and she took the initiative to help Qiu Fuping and invite her to start a business with her .
It dawned on Jiang Chen then what she had meant by earning enough resources for the breakthrough to Venerable . She wasn't talking about the others on the ship . She was talking about herself only .
Jiang Chen sighed about her story . He didn't know what to say to comfort her .
Soon, the Thousand Mile airship entered the interior of Jing Prefecture .
Different from other places, the interior of Jing Prefecture wasn't more prosperous than the periphery . It was the opposite . This was because of the existence of the Desolate Forbidden Land . The periphery was more like port cities; it was certainly more developed and bustling .
By comparison, the central area was the dangerous part . From time to time, Jiang Chen saw dreadful fierce beasts down there roaring at the Thousand Mile . The most dangerous moment came when a fierce beast that looked like a lizard climbed onto a peak . It jumped when the Thousand Mile flew over, intending to grasp the airship .
However, the Thousand Mile made a U-turn, so that the fierce beast grasped at nothing when it jumped .
"Jiang Chen, can your airship do this?"
"Yeah . If we had used your ship, we would have died 1,000 times already . " The other two women on the ship said provocatively after coming up to him from behind . They seemed quite complacent .
Jiang Chen threw them a stern look . They stepped back involuntarily due to surprise .
"How narrow-minded you are . You are a typical man . "

"Can't we even speak to you? How arrogant this Spiritual Venerable is . "
They weren't intimidated . After stepping back until they felt less pressured, they started to speak in sarcastic tones .
"If you make any more noise, I'll restrict your state and throw you off the ship," Jiang Chen said in a cold tone .
The two women were struck dumb .
They glanced at Nangong Wan, not far away . After realizing that Jiang Chen's state was the highest among all of them, they walked away in disgrace .
"What a big deal . Even the handymen working for my family are Spiritual Venerables . " One of the women murmured .
Jiang Chen didn't feel angry . What he felt was sad . These people were born to aristocratic families . They had more advantages than others . However, it was also the reason that they had lost the qualities practitioners should have . Their backgrounds became their biggest obstacles .
Even Nangong Wan wasn't an exception . Although she didn't do anything inappropriate, she was obviously a very proud person . She had been pushing her way around in the air, not taking any risks because of the Thousand Mile's fantastic performance .
Jiang Chen's airship might not be able to make a U-turn at such high speed, but at least he wouldn't drive it into areas full of fierce beasts .
Before long, what Jiang Chen had been worrying about really happened . Many airships appeared ahead of them . Connected by iron chains, they formed a giant net . However, Nangong Wan wasn't affected . The Thousand Mile didn't slow down . On the contrary, it sped up .

Below the hulk, a fierce flame appeared due to friction against the air .
In an instant, Jiang Chen could see the panicked faces of the people on those airships .
Pah!
The Thousand Mile hit against the iron chains, but it didn't stop . Instead, it kept going, dragging the airships connected by iron chains . After being dragged for a while, those airships hit against each other and fell apart . The iron chains also came loose .
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, those idiots . "
"With the Thousand Mile, we don't need any escort at all . " This gave the two women an opportunity to attack Jiang Chen orally .
Jiang Chen didn't have the time to respond to them, because he had heard a series of odd sounds . Walking up to the prow in a hurry, he saw the loose iron chains hadn't fallen off the Thousand Mile yet due to its high speed .
The end of the iron chains was still hitting the hulk . However, this wasn't the most important part . The temperature of the iron chains soared . They became red very soon .
"Stop! Now!" Jiang Chen shouted .
Those complacent people were dumbfounded . Nangong Wan looked at him confusedly . She did not do what Jiang Chen had said . She was still waiting for his explanation . In this way, she missed the perfect time to stop .
The iron chains exploded one by one . The Thousand Mile, which had been driving steadily on, started to shake violently, as if a great earthquake had occurred . The passengers all fell on the ground . Standing on the prow, Jiang Chen felt a strong energy coming from under his feet . He was sent flying by this strong energy .

He managed to find his balance in time thanks to his strong divine body .
The Thousand Mile was tilting; it could crash at any minute .
However, something in the interior of the hulk was being switched on . The Thousand Mile was stabilizing slowly .
"Is everyone all right?!" Nangong Wan asked loudly after finding her balance . Then she started to check the Thousand Mile .
"Damn it!" Soon, she swore involuntarily .
The Thousand Mile couldn't fly anymore for the moment . Although it was auto-repairing, it would take some time .
"What's wrong with you? You are the escort . How come you didn't see it coming?!" The woman who had claimed the handymen in her family were Spiritual Venerables put the blame on Jiang Chen .
Qiu Fuping, who had been silent, could not stand her arrogance anymore . She said, "This is too much . You've never listened to Jiang Chen, but you are complaining about him when something comes up . "
Her reaction was quite surprising . Not only the woman she had scolded, but also Nangong Wan was surprised . "Qiu Fuping!"
The woman looked ferocious . She said in anger, "Bitch! Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me like this?!"
"Yeah . You think you are great just because you found a Spiritual Venerable? What took you so long? Maybe you slept with him in return for his help . " The other woman also joined in the quarrel .
Pah! Pah!
Jiang Chen flew past them like the wind, giving both of them a hard slap .
They were petrified by his slaps . Covering their cheeks, they looked toward Jiang Chen in shock . They could hardly believe what had happened .
"How dare you?!" As noble as they were, they certainly could not swallow that .
"I told you, if you made more noises, I would throw you off the ship . I haven't thrown you off because it's not a good time," Jiang Chen said in a cold tone .
As soon as he finished speaking, numerous people flew from distinct directions . They were the passengers of the airships that had been destroyed by the Thousand Mile .
There were several Spiritual Venerables among them . Two of them were Spiritual Venerables in the late stage . Nangong Wan and her companions all turned pale .
"I need an explanation . " A Spiritual Venerable in the late stage came forward . He said in anger, "Why did you destroy our ships for no reason?!"
"Why did you block the way?!" Nangong Wan answered his question with a question .
"You could have taken another way . We blocked the way there to hunt a fierce beast . It was none of your business . Does that place belong to you? Don't you know how to turn?" The Spiritual Venerable in the late stage said .
"Nonsense . You blocked the way to rob us . I've heard of the trick of pulling the iron chains across the sky . You are the Iron Blood Gang!" The woman who had accused Qiu Fuping of sleeping with Jiang Chen said .
Upon hearing her, Jiang Chen thought she was really stupid . Although he also would have liked to tell right from wrong, he was not a moron .
These people who had surrounded the Thousand Mile stayed silent for a few seconds . Then they gave a harsh laugh .
