"Fuck!"
The middle-aged man cursed inwardly.
Without the slightest hesitation, he released the young girl from his grasp and tossed her back toward the magic ship.
The unconscious disciple tumbled through the air before landing safely upon the deck.
The moment he let go of her, the middle-aged man's figure shot into the distance.
His body transformed into a streak of light as he fled across the sky.
As a peak Spirit Core Formation expert, there were very few people capable of catching up to him.
Unfortunately for him, the middle-aged woman behind him was one of those people.
Not only was she also at the peak of the Spirit Core Formation Realm, but she had already reached the threshold of the next realm.
She was only a single step away from entering the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm.
That seemingly insignificant step was all that separated mortals from legends.
Seeing her unconscious disciple being thrown back toward the ship, the woman's eyes narrowed dangerously.
