No matter how conflicted the Empyrean Fairy was, or how suspicious the others were, if Yan Qingyi didn't reveal the truth, the others couldn't force her. They looked at her resentfully with mixed feelings.
Yan Qingyi looked at the Empyrean Fairy and said, "Don't worry, your father is still in my body. What's the point of worrying about the Gate of Heaven?"
The Empyrean Fairy looked at her in a daze, her gaze fluctuating. In the end, she had no choice but to give up.
Although her cultivation was high, there were times when she couldn't do anything.
Tang Zheng didn't have the intention to get to the bottom of the matter. Seeing both sides compromise, he was relieved.
The few of them returned along the original path. Looking at the messy pile of rocks, they couldn't help but think of the giant stone man.
Without a doubt, this was the effect of the pure Yin energy in the Gate of Heaven, just like the Sea of Death around them.
But when they returned to the disembarkation point, they found that the ship had been reduced to pieces, scattered all over the ground.
"Our ship!"
Yan Liuyun was the first to cry out in alarm. He rushed over in a big stride, only to see a scene of devastation.
"Where are the crew members?"
He cried out in alarm. The crew members were all elites that he had carefully selected. If they were sacrificed, he couldn't absolve himself from the blame.
The others' expressions changed greatly. If so many people died because of them, no one would feel good.
Without a doubt, all of this was done by Ji Wuxiang. He didn't manage to obtain the secret of the Gate of Heaven, but he did this to a group of innocent people. He was simply heartless.
"Young Master Yan."
Suddenly, a voice pulled everyone back from their anger. They saw a group of people walking out from behind the reef in the distance, trembling in fear.
"Captain!"
Yan Liuyun's pupils shrank. He was pleasantly surprised. He recognized the captain at the front at a glance, as well as the other familiar faces of the crew members.
The captain was scared. He patted his chest and said, "Young Master Yan, you're finally here. You really scared us to death."
Although he had already guessed it, Yan Liuyun couldn't help but ask, "What happened?"
The crew members tried to reconstruct the scene at that time. It turned out that after they left and entered the Divine Gate, the crew members stayed on the ship.
The dangers of Elysium were unpredictable. After the number of people increased, there were many unknowns. Moreover, the crew members were ordinary people. If they saw too many magical things, it would not do them any good. Instead, it would easily cause trouble.
In the end, they unanimously decided to leave the crew behind and wait for their return on the shore of the Divine Gate.
He never expected that the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Not long after they disembarked, Ji Wuxiang's ship arrived.
When the captain saw the ship from afar, he immediately realized that something was wrong. All the ships in the Sea of Death were evil. They didn't have the abilities of Tang Zheng and the rest, so they naturally didn't dare to face them head-on.
Therefore, the captain made a prompt decision and led the crew to abandon the ship and hide.
Fortunately, the captain was wise enough. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to escape from Ji Wuxiang's evil hands. When Ji Wuxiang reached the shore, he sent people to search the ship. When he didn't see anyone, he immediately destroyed the ship.
The crew members watched from afar. They were powerless and didn't dare to rush out to resist. They were all ordinary people. How could they be a match for this group of martial artists?
Hearing this series of events, the crowd was excited. Yan Liuyun patted the captain's shoulder and said, "You did well. Don't go head-to-head with that group of people. The key is to protect yourself."
"But our ship is destroyed. There's no way to go back." The captain blamed himself in shame.
Yan Liuyun sighed. He also knew the current predicament. Without a ship, it was a big problem for so many people to return.
He had no choice but to look at Tang Zheng and the rest.
Tang Zheng read his eyes and comforted him, "Everyone, don't worry. Although this is an isolated island and there are no ships, it won't be a problem for us."
Hearing this, the crew members were greatly encouraged. Their eyes bloomed with the light of hope.
Empyrean Fairy also didn't put this so-called problem in her eyes. She turned her head and looked in the direction of the Gate of Heaven. But there was nothing there.
However, there was still a problem. Without a ship, it wouldn't be easy for these dozens of people to leave safely.
Ye Dingdang asked in a low voice, "What should we do?"
"I'll go find a ship. I'll leave this sea area. I'll find a ship." Tang Zheng volunteered.
There was no other way. This was the only way.
"Then you have to be careful. Ji Wuxiang and those people are too cunning. Don't ambush us outside and wait for us to walk into their trap." Fang Shishi was very careful and warned.
Tang Zheng smiled and didn't take it to heart. He was about to wade into the water and leave when he heard a crew member cry out in alarm.
"It's high tide."
Pairs of eyes uniformly looked toward the shore. Sure enough, the sea level was rising, and it was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, it would reach their feet.
"What's going on?"
"Ah, is this island going to be submerged?"
They couldn't help but recall the previous scene. This island had rushed out from the bottom of the sea. It was definitely time for the island to sink again.
If that was the case, where would they have time to find a ship? By the time they found it, they would have already become ghosts under the water.
"Hurry up and think of a way. The island is about to sink." The crew members cried out in alarm, urging Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng frowned. He was certain that the island would definitely sink, and it would happen very quickly.
If he didn't think of a way, these people would really suffer.
Empyrean Fairy turned her head and looked at him, saying, "Your Sumeru World can accommodate them. What's there to be afraid of?"
Tang Zheng obviously knew this, but there were many secrets hidden in Sumeru World. One of them was the Shura.
"Forget it. In order to save people, this is the only way. Moreover, I've already divided Sumeru World into several regions that don't interfere with each other. Taking them in won't be too dangerous. "
Seeing the water rise faster and faster, Tang Zheng knew that he couldn't delay any longer. He hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I'll take you out of here safely."
With that, he waved his hand and a light flashed from his wrist. Sumeru World displayed its might and absorbed the crew into Sumeru World in the blink of an eye.
The others weren't surprised. On the contrary, they looked at his wrist expectantly. They also wanted to enter Sumeru World to investigate.
"Just in case, you guys go in as well." Tang Zheng said.
"I don't need it." Empyrean Fairy and Yan Qingyi said in unison.
Tang Zheng didn't force them. The others all agreed. Although Ye Dingdang was restless and wanted to stay outside, she was still rejected by Tang Zheng.
With a flash of light, the others disappeared. Only Tang Zheng, Empyrean Fairy and Yan Qingyi were left on the island.
Empyrean Fairy looked thoughtfully at Yan Qingyi. She really couldn't guess how she would get through this crisis.
"What are you going to do?" Tang Zheng directly asked.
Yan Qingyi didn't answer. She strolled into the sea. The sea water submerged the soles of her shoes, but it didn't continue to rise. She actually stopped steadily on the surface of the sea, like a leaf, floating lightly.
Tang Zheng and Empyrean Fairy looked at each other, full of suspicion.
Yan Qingyi didn't have inner strength or qi. How did she do this? How did she counteract her own gravity?
"How did you do it?" Tang Zheng asked in surprise.
Yan Qingyi said calmly, "The sea has its own Dao. If I follow the Dao, I will naturally be able to do this."
Tang Zheng and Empyrean Fairy frowned at the same time. These words were too mysterious. It was like the words of a charlatan.
"I think your gains from inheriting the ancestor's Dao are much lower than hers." Empyrean Fairy ridiculed.
Tang Zheng smiled bitterly and helplessly.
"Let's go quickly. The sea will soon submerge the island." Yan Qingyi urged.
Tang Zheng and Empyrean Fairy also walked into the sea. Like Yan Qingyi, the sea water couldn't submerge the soles of their shoes.
Rumble!
A loud sound came from the island. They looked over at the same time and saw the island sink quickly. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared without a trace.
Empyrean Fairy never thought that the Heaven's Gate would undergo such a huge change. She asked worriedly, "When will the Heaven's Gate resurface?"
"When the time is right, it will naturally reappear in the world." Yan Qingyi was tactful again.
Empyrean Fairy rolled her eyes helplessly. She couldn't be bothered to say anything. In any case, it was a waste of saliva.
Tang Zheng shook his head and smiled bitterly as he looked at the two of them. The person who obtained the greatest gains on this trip was probably Yan Qingyi. No wonder she insisted on going together.
Yan Qingyi had cooperated with Tang Zheng many times. She was also a member of the Yan family, so she was a friend and not a foe. Tang Zheng wasn't jealous. Instead, he was sincerely happy for her.
The three of them waded through the water as if they were walking on flat ground. There were no more ships on the sea, not even those mysterious ships.
They safely left the Sea of Death. The sun in the distance was very dazzling. Although it was only a step away from the sea, it gave off a completely different feeling. It was like another world, incomparably warm, completely different from the gloomy coldness of the Sea of Death.
"The Sea of Death is so mysterious. How will we find it in the future?" Tang Zheng asked worriedly.
The Sea of Death was erratic. Although many ships tried their best to avoid it, sometimes they would accidentally intrude.
For those who wanted to lock onto the Sea of Death, this characteristic was especially fatal. If they came again in the future, they might not be able to find it.
Yan Qingyi wasn't worried at all. She said confidently, "Although the Sea of Death is erratic, the core area of the Heaven's Gate is still there. It's just that other people don't know about it, so there's no need to worry."
Tang Zheng suddenly understood.
Empyrean Fairy glared at Yan Qingyi with mixed feelings and said, "Even without her, I can bring you to find the Heaven's Gate again."
Obviously, the two of them were fighting openly and covertly.
In Sumeru World, the sky was overcast and the surroundings were quiet. Many people were curiously sizing up their surroundings.
In particular, the crew looked as if they were looking at a zoetrope. However, they remembered Tang Zheng's instructions and didn't dare to move around carelessly.
In view of Tang Zheng's abilities, they were all in awe and didn't dare to act rashly.
