Elder Fu flicked his sleeve, and a green ball the size of a human head flew out. Amidst the flashes of light, protrusions appeared on the green ball, and they quickly expanded with a cracking sound.
After a few breaths, a huge dark green flying boat appeared in the hall. It was about two to three hundred feet long. Unlike Yan Wushi's flying boat, this flying boat looked like a huge crab. It had eight long crab legs at the front and back, but they were all curled up.
Everyone boarded the crab flying boat. The boat was very spacious, and it didn't feel crowded at all even with so many people standing on it.
"Shen Daoyou, please tell us which direction to go," Elder Fu looked at Shen Luo and said.
Shen Luo closed his eyes and sensed the location of the mark. Suddenly, he made a sound of surprise.
"What happened?" Elder Fu asked hurriedly. Little Master and the rest also looked over nervously.
"Nothing. It's just that the position of the City of Dolls has changed a lot. It moved a long distance to the north," Shen Luo said after some thought.
"It's good that the mark is still there." Elder Fu heaved a sigh of relief. A green light flashed under his feet.
A bright green light appeared on the entire flying boat, and it slowly floated up. Then, with a whoosh, it flew toward the north. In a few breaths, it reached the restriction at the edge of Tianji City. Its speed was even faster than Yan Wushi's flying boat.
Elder Fu opened his mouth and spat out a ball of green light. It hit the bow of the boat in a flash.
A layer of net-like green spirit patterns suddenly bloomed on the bow of the crab flying boat. It quickly spread backward, and soon, the entire boat was covered with green spirit patterns. In a flash, it passed through the restriction near Tianji City and came to the boundless sea of sand outside. It continued to fly toward the north.
"Elder Fu, push the speed of the Spirit Crab Flying Boat to the maximum. Don't worry about consumption. The most important thing now is to get to Gui Yan as soon as possible," Little Master said. There was a faint murderous aura on his face, and Shen Luo was secretly shocked.
Elder Fu muttered an incantation, and a crystal light flashed between his eyebrows. The crab-shaped flying boat stretched out its eight crab-legs, which were also engraved with countless green spirit patterns. With a puff, it grabbed the void, and as if it was walking on the ground, the eight crab-legs moved quickly and rhythmically.
The speed of the Spirit-Crab Flying Ship increased greatly again, almost doubling its original speed. It flew forward as fast as lightning.
When Shen Luo saw this scene, he sighed inwardly. Heaven Secrets City's mechanical arts were indeed top-notch in the Three Realms for them to be able to create a large flying boat of such speed.
"Shen Daoyou, according to the speed of the Spirit Crab Flying Boat, how long will it take to reach the City of Dolls?" Young Master looked over.
"It will take about half a day," Shen Luo estimated and said.
Young Master nodded and called Elder Fu, Elder Mei, and Mo Wang to a sealed room at the front of the Spirit Crab Flying Ship. They seemed to be discussing something.
Seeing that Young Master and the three elders had left, the disciples of Heaven Secrets City relaxed slightly. They each found a place to sit down and recharge their energy.
Shen Luo also walked to a corner of the flying boat and sat down cross-legged. Just as he was about to close his eyes and focus on sacrificial refining the Soft Smoke Silk Robe and Yellow Unifying Rod, a person walked over. It was Yan Wushi.
His gaze moved, and he wondered why this person came over. Could it be that Yan Wushi was unhappy that he hid Gui Yan and the City of Dolls from him, so he came over to denounce him?
Shen Luo considered his words carefully, trying to explain this matter without offending Yan Wushi.
Yan Wushi's status in Heaven Secrets City was not low. He still had to ask Young Master to repair the jade pillow, so it was best not to offend this person.
Out of Shen Luo's expectations, Yan Wushi stood three feet away and bowed. "Shen Daoyou, previously I suspected that you were a spy sent by an enemy force to infiltrate Heaven Secrets City. I was a little suspicious of you, so please forgive me, Shen Daoyou."
Shen Luo heard this and was stunned for a moment. It took him two to three breaths to react, and his expression became a little strange.
This Yan Wushi actually came over to apologize so seriously for such a small matter. Was it because this person was unusually upright? Or did he have other motives?
"Daoist Yan, you are too serious. When we first met, I was also an outsider. It is natural for you to suspect me," he thought and said.
"Previously, I, Yan Wushi, had speculated about Daoist Shen out of selfishness and went against Tianji City's rules of making friends with Righteous Dao friends out of goodwill. After this mission, when I return to Tianji City, I will go to the Discipline Hall to receive my punishment and give Daoist Shen an explanation."
"Daoist Yan is too serious. Such a small matter is not worth mentioning." Shen Luo saw Yan Wushi's expression and was half sure that this person was an inflexible fool. His dissatisfaction from being suspected by him dissipated by a lot.
"Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. Heaven Secrets City is a sect formed by the various Yanshis of the Three Realms. All the rules are especially important. Any rule must be strictly followed," Yan Wushi said expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Shen Luo shrugged and didn't argue with him anymore. He changed the topic and asked another question.
"Daoist Yan, did you suspect that I was a spy from an enemy force? Heaven Secrets City is located in the Boundless Desert Sea and there are no signs of human habitation around. Could it be that there is an enemy force here? "
"Although the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi in this Boundless Sea of Sand is thin, there are still some special spiritual items. There are also some small sects that are stationed here. Their relationship with our Heaven's Secrets City isn't all friendly. Furthermore, our Armor Folding Art and Artifact Refining Art are the best in the Three Realms. Naturally, there are many people with evil intentions. There are also quite a number of cultivators who are hiding in the Boundless Sea of Sand to spy on our city."
"Other than your city, what other sects are there in the Boundless Desert Sea?" Shen Luo continued asking.
"There are about ten of them. The biggest one is called Yellow Sand Sect. The others are Divine Tortoise Sect, Deep Earth Sect, Imperial Beast Sect …" Yan Wushi listed out more than ten sects.
"What are these sects good at?" Shen Luo continued asking.
"The Yellow Sand Sect, as its name suggests, is proficient in controlling sand. The Black Tortoise Sect is a tomb raiding sect that specializes in geomancy and the art of searching for dragon acupoints. The Deep Earth Sect's earth-attribute spells are quite unique, and the Beast Control Sect is proficient in controlling all kinds of spirit insects and spirit beasts …" Yan Wushi answered Shen Luo's questions in detail, perhaps because he felt sorry for Shen Luo.
"Shen Daoyou, why are you asking about this?" He asked curiously at the end.
"Nothing, I was just asking." Shen Luo smiled.
Yan Wushi nodded and didn't think too much. Seeing that Shen Luo didn't have any other questions, he sat down not far away.
Shen Luo looked at the bottom of the cabin and his eyes flashed. He didn't ask Yan Wushi those questions casually. It was because he suddenly thought of something.
The City of Dolls was stolen by Gui Yan from Tianji City. Tianji City was also constantly looking for its whereabouts. Gui Yan would definitely be very careful. Then how did he and Fu Donglai get there so easily?
He thought it was a coincidence before, but now that he thought about it, it might not be the case. He couldn't rule out the possibility that someone did it on purpose.
If there was really such a person or a group of people, their goal was obvious. They wanted to use him to tell Tianji City about Gui Yan's whereabouts. As for what the other party's real goal was, he knew too little about Tianji City and the Boundless Desert Sea. He couldn't guess.
However, with so many people hiding in the dark, this hunt for Gui Yan wouldn't end so easily.
