168: Chapter 168: Hijacking Terror 168: Chapter 168: Hijacking Terror Tang Yun saw the sharp dagger hidden in the woman’s sleeve, and with a loud cry, instinctively stepped back, almost losing her balance and falling over. But Ye Shikai, with quick reflexes, steadied her with a grasp. “Be careful, she has a knife in her hand.” Tang Yun shouted, and those seated as if awoken from a dream, all turned their attention to the woman. Under everyone’s gaze, a smile slowly appeared on the woman’s face. She pulled out a sharp dagger from her sleeve, and at the same time, the other cheerleaders also drew their blades promptly. Seeing that the situation was amiss, Ye Shikai immediately pulled Tang Yun behind him and shielded her with his body. Just then, two gunshots rang out from behind Tang Yun. If the unveiling of the daggers hadn’t frightened everyone, the two gunshots plunged the cabin into chaos with screaming, crying, and pleas for help mingling together. At that moment, Ye Shikai realized that this group of women were not cheerleaders, but hijackers. He wanted to use his Inner Strength to subdue the women right away, but when he saw two of the women, dressed as cheerleaders, holding handguns and moving down the aisle of the cabin, pointing at the passengers, Ye Shikai immediately dismissed the idea. With so many passengers in the cabin, any action he took could prompt the hijackers to start killing passengers. Ye Shikai knew he couldn’t protect everyone at once, so he could only wait for the right moment now. One of the hijackers carried a bag, walking into the cabin and tossing it in front of the women. Opening the bag, it was filled with weapons: pistols, submachine guns, and automatic rifles. The women loaded their weapons one by one. Ye Shikai counted, there were thirteen women in total. They ordered everyone to squat down and hold their heads. Ye Shikai squatted down as well, ensuring Tang Yun was protected behind him. “Good day, everyone. This is a hijacking. Now please move towards the tail of the plane. Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope you enjoy your last trip,” the woman’s voice held a trace of mockery as she finished speaking and pulled out a handgun, firing a shot at a man next to her. The bullet hit the man in the head, and his body fell straight to the floor. “Ah.” Upon seeing this, the passengers shrieked in unison, hurriedly moving towards the tail of the plane, afraid to be shot for being slow. Ye Shikai also moved with the crowd to the tail. Everyone squatted on the floor, their faces reflecting panic and despair. For many, hijacking was a once-in-a-lifetime, if ever, encounter. Ye Shikai kept Tang Yun behind him, huddled close together. Ye Shikai could feel Tang Yun trembling all over, she was extremely frightened. The scene was eerily similar to the time at the jewelry store. “Tang Yun, don’t be afraid, nothing will happen with me here,” Ye Shikai said, holding her hand for comfort while slowly channeling his Inner Strength into her body to calm her down. Gradually, Tang Yun also became calm, tightly gripping Ye Shikai’s hand, not wanting to let go. She knew Ye Shikai was a cultivator, but this was a plane hijacking, and to say that it was a matter of life and death was no exaggeration. “We are hijacking for money, we hope everyone cooperates, otherwise don’t blame us for being unkind,” the woman who had fired the gun said indifferently to everyone, then turned to look at a camera above the cabin. “Captain, I know you can see me and hear what I am saying. Please open the cockpit door immediately, otherwise I cannot guarantee these people’s safety,” the woman said with a gun to a female passenger’s temple, mockingly whispering, “Looks like you’re the one to be sacrificed.” “Don’t...” Before the female passenger could finish, a bullet went through her head, and another body lay before everyone. Seeing this, Ye Shikai clenched his fists. What he could not tolerate the most was the indiscriminate killing of the innocent. He had set rules in Netherworld Palace against the killing of the innocent, and now this group of vicious hijackers was blatantly challenging his bottom line. “Captain, look, a passenger died because of your hesitation. How about it, have you decided?” As the woman spoke, she pointed the gun at another passenger. “Don’t, I’m coming out now,” finally, a middle-aged man’s voice came from the cabin, sounding very distressed. Once the cockpit fell into the hijackers’ control, the entire plane would be hijacked, putting the passengers’ lives in serious danger. If the door remained closed, passengers would undoubtedly die one by one before the captain. From a personal standpoint, the captain and co-pilot could stay safe by avoiding letting the plane fall into the hijackers’ hands, as keeping the door closed wouldn’t affect them much. However, the captain and co-pilot on this plane didn’t choose this option, and for that, Ye Shikai respected them. With their hands raised, they slowly emerged from the cockpit. The co-pilot was a young man, likely from Huaxia, and the captain was a middle-aged foreign man. Both looked distraught, their eyes full of hatred when looking at the group of hijackers. “Gentlemen, take a look at this body in front of you, how unjust her death was,” the gun-wielding woman continued to laugh manically. “You devil,” the captain couldn’t help but roar in English, his body lunging forward, wanting to fight the woman, but was knocked down by another gun-wielding woman nearby. “You two, go pilot the plane, the rest of you, take control of the various parts of the aircraft,” the armed woman instructed her accomplices. Although uncertain where they planned to fly the plane, Ye Shikai was sure that the destination was likely their stronghold, and if they got there, the safety of the hostages on the plane was even less guaranteed. “Hey, beautiful,” Ye Shikai suddenly stood up and spoke to the armed woman. “Yo, handsome, we meet again,” indeed, this gun-wielding woman was the blonde who had accidentally bumped into Ye Shikai at the boarding gate. Had he known she was crazy back then, Ye Shikai would have taken her out on the spot. “Can I go to the restroom?” Ye Shikai said, pretending to need the restroom while feigning a look of urgency on his face. If she agreed, Ye Shikai could seize the opportunity to subdue her and confront the hijackers. That would provide a glimmer of hope. “Alright, since we’ve had a chance encounter, I’ll allow you to go to the restroom, but someone will follow you,” the woman said mockingly. Ye Shikai bet that it wasn’t for that reason she agreed; she was just totally crazy, acting on whims. “Thank you so much,” Ye Shikai hurried out, glancing back at Tang Yun to signal her, then headed to the restroom. Meanwhile, two women from behind the armed woman followed Ye Shikai all the way.
