Chapter 253 -253: Defying the Heavens
As the cabin grew increasingly chaotic, Zhong Nianyao’s face became even more troubled.
Standing beside her, Lu Yichen, without hesitation, picked up the gun he had just snatched from the terrorist and shot the person trying to rob another’s parachute.
Of course, he did not intend to kill the man, so he only shot him in the arm.
The sudden sound of gunfire immediately quieted the noisy cabin, leaving only the injured man clutching his arm and continuously crying out in pain.
Even though the plane was still shaking and everyone was unsteady on their feet, no one dared to make any noise, fearing that before the plane crashed, Lu Yichen would shoot them dead.
“Everyone, quiet down,” Zhong Nianyao coldly said, looking at the people in the cabin, “the plane is about to crash, and you still have the mind to fight each other, are you not afraid of dying quickly?”
Her words did not seem to affect many of the people present.
“You speak as though it’s easy,” a young woman couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, “we’re about to face death, don’t we have the right to fight for a sliver of vitality?”
“Do you really think,” Zhong Nianyao sneered a few times before continuing, “that by causing trouble here, you can secure that vitality for yourselves? By doing this, you are only hastening your own death. Do you have any idea what it’s like below us? If you jump blindly and it’s the ocean below, there’s no escape.”
Moreover, whether there were enough parachutes or any that were damaged was still an unknown.

“I don’t want to die!”
One middle-aged woman collapsed onto the floor, breaking into desperate sobs, “I can’t die! I have two children, one only five and the other just three years old. Their father died two years ago. What will happen to them if I die?”
Suddenly, the cabin was like a switch had been flicked, many people began painfully sharing their hardships.
A mournful atmosphere filled the cabin as many wept softly, while those who were not crying still had expressions of grief on their faces.
Lu Yichen’s face was expressionless, unaffected by the scene before him.
However, Zhong Nianyao, though usually tough-hearted, couldn’t help being moved by the plight of so many lives.
She couldn’t just watch so many people perish. At last, she gritted her teeth, a look of resolution flickering in her eyes, as if she had made an important decision.
She turned to Lu Yichen and suddenly asked, “Lu Yichen, would you say we are friends?”
Surprised by Zhong Nianyao’s words, Lu Yichen frowned, a fleeting thought quickly passing through his mind before vanishing, “What’s wrong? Why would you suddenly ask such a question?”
Even if something were to happen to this airplane, neither of them would be harmed. He was sure of that, so Zhong Nianyao’s sudden question puzzled him.
“Just thinking,” Zhong Nianyao glanced at the people in the cabin, “if something happens to me today, could you look after my grandparents for me?”
“We won’t have any issues,” Lu Yichen asserted confidently.
Zhong Nianyao gave a slight smile, then turned her head and began to rapidly form seals with her hands, a difficult spell spilling from her lips.
“What are you doing?” Lu Yichen was alarmed.
He wanted to stop Zhong Nianyao, but it was too late; he could only watch helplessly as she continued forming seals and chanting. Although he didn’t understand the complex spell, he knew she was trying to save everyone on the plane.
Everyone on the plane was supposed to die today. If Zhong Nianyao saved all these people, she was defying the heavens. The cost of defying the heavens was immense, and nobody could clearly say what it was. In severe cases, even her soul could vanish between heaven and earth.
Lu Yichen couldn’t just watch Zhong Nianyao put herself in danger without hesitation, he intervened. However, he quickly discovered that the spiritual energy and evil Qi emanating from his body were being repelled.
Worried, yet unable to do anything, he could only watch as Zhong Nianyao’s face grew paler.
At that moment, Zhong Nianyao was fully focused on her hand movements and the chant; she couldn’t notice Lu Yichen’s actions or anything else around her. She was engaging in a very difficult magic technique.
This technique, taught to her by the Ghost Valley Master, was one of the most secret and seldom-used magics of their sect.
The Master once said during her training, “Xiao Yao, today I teach you our sect’s most difficult and supreme technique, named the Heavenly Reversal Technique. As the name suggests, it defies the heavens. This technique can save thousands of people who are supposed to die.”
“But you should be clear, the will of heaven cannot be defied. The cost of defying the heavens with this technique is unknown. This technique has been passed down in our sect for many years, yet very few have ever used it because the price to pay might be one’s own life, even the soul.”
“This Heavenly Reversal Technique is not something just anyone can learn, but I know with your talent, you can master it. However, I still hope you never have to use it in your lifetime.”
“Also, one more thing, I must make clear to you today. Our sect values the law of cause and effect, so most things should comply with fate. So, in times of crisis, I hope you can think clearly, whether you should really defy the heavens.”
Back then, when she heard the Master’s words, she was somewhat puzzled. However, she took the lessons seriously and finally mastered the technique.
She didn’t forget, at that moment when she had mastered it, the Master looked at her with complex eyes.
Today, she finally understood what the Master meant. But, she had decided to use the Heavenly Reversal Technique because she couldn’t bear to watch so many people lose their lives.
