Just as the entire steel ship was engulfed in gloom and despair, the voice of a young man rang out.
"Leave this ship to me."
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a crippled youth sitting in a wheelchair under the long mast. His expression was very natural, as if he was simply asking for a cup of water.
The entire ship was filled with Spirit Stream experts, yet this crippled youth of the Spirit Spring stage actually proposed to leave the fate of the steel ship to him?
What kind of joke was this?
Could it be that this brat was too scared and started to talk nonsense?
The crowd of cultivators looked at Chu Chen with strange gazes. Only Elder Lingxin looked at Chu Chen with her beautiful eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly. "Leave the ship to you, does that mean that the control of the entire ship will be given to you?"
"Yes."
Chu Chen nodded. He was so serious that it did not seem like he was joking.
"But … do you know how to sail the ship?"
Although Elder Lingxin had an inexplicable confidence in this youth called "Tong Hu", she still asked the key question rationally.
Chu Chen smiled honestly and shook his head. "No, I have never sailed a ship before."
"You don't know?"
Chu Chen's straightforward answer made Elder Lingxin speechless. "If you don't know how to sail the ship, then how can we leave this ship to you?"
Elder Lingxin frowned slightly, while the other cultivators on the deck looked at Chu Chen as if he was a lunatic instead of a weirdo.
The crowd of cultivators shook their heads. When they heard this kid confidently say that he would leave the ship to him, some of them still had a sliver of hope. They thought that if there was a miracle, he would have some way to bring everyone away.
In the end, this guy did not even know how to sail the ship. Was he going to play around in this sea of blood??
It seemed that the pressure brought by the blood fog was too strong. This kid had most likely gone crazy …
Some female cultivators began to secretly shake their heads and sigh. They looked at Chu Chen with eyes full of pity. If this continued, more and more lunatics would appear on the ship that was trapped by the blood fog.
Chu Chen scratched his head and explained to Elder Lingxin with an honest smile.
"Actually, I went out to sea with my father many times when I was young, and I also got lost in the sea. However, there was one time when we were lost and everyone was in a desperate situation. My father accidentally discovered that I was born with the ability to pilot. No matter where we were, whether it was fog, snow, or a storm, I could accurately find the direction and exit. From then on, as long as I led the way, no matter how dangerous the situation was, our ship would always return safely … "
Chu Chen spoke with fervor and assurance. His manner of speaking was very convincing.
However, many cultivators felt that this kid was spouting nonsense. His lies were a mess, and their faces darkened.
Before he finished speaking, the fat cultivator who had always disliked him coldly snorted and reprimanded him with righteous words.
"Bullshit! Let's not talk about whether or not your innate piloting ability is a lie. Even if it is true, what level of cultivator is your father? He was probably just a mortal from the secular world! How big can your family's boat be? Can it seat ten people? How far can a mortal from the secular world sail a small wooden boat out to sea? Can the fog we encountered there be compared to the blood fog we're seeing now? Have the people of the secular world ever seen such a rare blood sea phenomenon that only appears once in a thousand years? "
An old cultivator with white eyebrows also became angry.
"Kid, don't talk nonsense here. Be careful or this old man won't be polite to you! It seems that not only is your leg broken, even your brain is broken! Everyone is looking for a way to survive, but you're causing trouble here. "
For a moment, the crowd was agitated and angry. Many cultivators felt that if it weren't for the fact that Chu Chen was a disabled person, they would've already taught him a lesson.
Fang Rentang, who was in the crowd, frowned and scolded, "Nonsense! Even if we're in a desperate situation, we can't throw the lives of everyone on this boat to you. Do you think this is as simple as a child playing house? "
"I said that if you give the boat to me, I can save everyone."
Chu Chen said word by word as a sharp light flashed in his eyes. "Don't forget, Elder Yu won't be able to hold on for much longer. All of you are helpless, but I have a way to save everyone's lives."
"Wishful thinking!"
Fang Rentang snorted. His resolute face revealed a tough attitude, "Don't think that with Lingxin protecting you, you can do whatever you want. If you continue to be so unreasonable, I'll directly throw you off the boat!"
Once Fang Rentang said this, many cultivators cheered in unison.
"Oh? Directly throw him off? Sect Leader Fang is so arrogant! "
Before Chu Chen could speak, Elder Lingxin had already frowned. Her face instantly became as cold as ice.
"You clearly know that he is protected by Lingxin, yet you dare to touch him? Why don't you try and see if you can throw him off! If you dare to touch him, you'll be my enemy! Believe it or not, as long as I have the intention, I can make your Pure Sun Sect lose its foothold in the entire Eastern Ancient Region! "
Hearing this, Fang Rentang's face suddenly changed. He deeply understood how great Elder Lingxin's influence was.
Biquan Xianzong, Huayang Sect, Supreme Sword Sect, and other major sects, Demon Moon Shen Family, Ancient Sword Li Family, Zither Master Zhao Family, and other major families were inextricably linked to her.
In the Eastern Ancient Region, Elder Lingxin was known as the number one pharmacist in the world outside of the Medicine Palace!
If she really wanted to deal with a sect, with her influence, she could really make the Pure Sun Sect lose its foothold!
Seeing that Elder Lingxin had even said such harsh words, although Fang Rentang was still unconvinced, he dared not say anything more.
Although everyone was now trapped in the strange Blood Sea and their lives were uncertain, there was a chance that they could escape from here. Offending Elder Lingxin for such a useless young man was obviously the most unwise thing to do.
Just when the entire deck was in an awkward situation because of Elder Lingxin's angry rebuke, the cabin door suddenly opened. A young man with a strong body like a bear and a strong aura walked out. It was the leader of the servants who carried Elder Lingxin's coffin.
Elder Lingxin's servants would not easily leave him. Every time they left, there was always a big matter.
Everyone looked at the tall cultivator nervously.
He stood in front of everyone with an old-fashioned and serious face. "Pass on Elder Lingxin's words. Let this young man try."
None of the cultivators expected Elder Lingxin's servants to come out and say such a thing.
Everyone was dead silent. Was Elder Lingxin's old age muddle-headed? Was he really going to hand the ship over to this crippled young man?
