"Everyone, do not panic, our Esteemed Deacon has already gone into the sea to arrange an Array Formation, we will soon be able to control the ship … …" Deacon Xing You, who had brought Ning Cheng aboard the ship, hurriedly stood at the bow of the ship and shouted.
Fortunately, Deacon still had some prestige among all the crew members. Hearing his shout, the crew members on the ship quickly quietened down. They all grabbed the railings and tried to stabilize their bodies.
Ning Cheng saw the woman called Zhuang Ya and another True Condensation Cultivator appear at the bow of the ship, while the two of them were constantly throwing out a variety of Array Flags.
Sure enough, as the two of them continued to throw out array flags, the rocking ship gradually stabilized. Finally, it came to a stop, with only some slight shaking.
Ning Cheng looked at the Array Flags that had been thrown out, and shook his head speechlessly. How was this an Array Formation? It was simply a random throw. But after these two people threw out the Array Flags, the three True Condensation Cultivators in the sea stopped shaking the ship, and climbed up from the sea.
As for the slight shaking of the boat, it was caused by someone placing an array disc at the bottom of the boat.
This ship was filled with food and the lowest level of materials, did Ning Cheng not know what these cultivators wanted to do? Not to mention that this ship wasn't worth robbing, even if they wanted to rob it, they didn't need to take off their pants and fart like this. With five True Condensation Cultivators, they could easily take away this ship.
At this time, the several Deacons and the person in charge of the ship had already arrived at the bow of the ship, even the three True Condensation Cultivators who had crawled up from the bottom of the sea also came to the bow of the ship, but at this time their faces looked a bit pale. The people on the ship all thought that they had used up too much energy to set up the formation. A few deacons and people in charge came forward to thank them.
A True Condensation 9th Level long haired man waved his hand, and spoke with a dignified expression on his face, "This is what we should do, but there is a tidal whirlpool here, although we arranged an Array Formation to temporarily control the ship, but it would not last for long. Once the Tidal Vortex breaks our formation, we'll be in danger … "
"What should we do?" one of the ship's attendants asked in a panic. They had encountered Tidal Whirlpools before. Once they encountered a tidal whirlpool, capsizing was a common occurrence.
The long-haired man also frowned and did not reply for a long time. Next to him was a slightly chubby man at the True Condensation 9th Level and spoke up, "This Array Formation can last for at least 48 hours, as long as we can obtain the materials needed to refine the Array Flags within these 48 hours, then we can reinforce this Array Formation, and we can then survive this tidal maelstrom."
The woman named Zhuang Ya also frowned and said, "This is the sea, where can we find the materials to refine the array flags?"
"I know that there is a small island in the vicinity, but I do not know if that island has the materials that Elder Brother Pang needs to refine the Array Flags." The one who spoke was the same as Zhuang Ya, the other True Condensation Cultivator.
"Yes, yes, I also remember that there is an island nearby, but …" One of the deacons clearly thought of the island nearby, but then he seemed to remember something extremely terrifying, and his expression changed slightly.
Xing You said with a worried look on his face, "Esteemed consecrators, I also know of that island. In the past, we have sailed by that island. But in the last year, that island has suddenly been covered with a thin layer of fog, there was a caravan that passed through that island, and even sent people up there … … "
Speaking till here, Xing You hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "The people who went up there did not come down, and afterwards no one went up there again."
The long haired True Condensation Cultivator waved his hand and said, "You can rest assured about this, there might be some low levelled Monstrous Beasts on the island, with the five of us going up there at the same time, even if it was a powerful Sea Demon, it would not be surprising. Since this matter is settled, Deacon Xing, you can find 50 people to come with us to the island to look for the materials needed to refine the Array Flags. We do not have much time, if we do not think of a way, then staying here would only result in capsizing and losing our lives. "
The other True Condensation Cultivators also nodded in agreement and said, "That is also true, we would only need at most two days to come and go, I think we should be able to make it in time."
After Xing You discussed with the several people in charge of the ship, he reluctantly agreed and said, "Then let's choose 50 crew members, I ask the esteemed consecrators … …"
The short and stout True Condensation Cultivator said with some impatience, "You can rest assured, with the five of us going up to the island, how could there be any accident?"
When Ning Cheng heard that they wanted to choose people, he immediately retreated, he guessed that there should be something on the island, which made these True Condensation Cultivators think of this method. Looking for people to go up to the island, perhaps it was to do hard labour. He had just come out from the Angry Axe Valley, as such the things that these True Condensation Cultivators were interested in, he really did not put them in his eyes, so he simply did not want to go up there, moreover he did not want to do hard labour.
"You are also one … …" What Ning Cheng did not expect was that he had just retreated a few steps, when that short and stout True Condensation Cultivator saw him, as he directly pointed at Ning Cheng and said.
Ning Cheng was helpless, and had to stand up.
The 50 people were quickly selected, together with the 5 True Condensation Cultivators, a total of 55 people boarded a small boat, and left the big ship. The few True Condensation Cultivators, while pretending to throw out some Array Flags on the ship. Ning Cheng was speechless, and simply closed his eyes to rest.
… …
The island was really not too far away, the small boat only took less than 2 hours to reach the edge of the island, Ning Cheng swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness. Unexpectedly he felt a strange life force being absorbed, the centre of the island was shrouded in mist, even his Spiritual Consciousness could not penetrate it.
The small boat stopped at the edge of the island, but the scene on the edge of the island, made the scalp of all the crew members on the boat tingle. The edge of the island was covered with all kinds of bones, it was a dense white, many of the bones were washed up by the waves on the island, forming piles of bones.
Ning Cheng's eyes swept over, these bones, in addition to some low levelled sea beasts and fish, there were also many human bones.
The 5 True Condensation Cultivators were already on the island, but the seafarers were timid and did not dare to go up. The short and stout True Condensation Cultivator suddenly bared his teeth and said, "If you follow the few of us cultivators to the island to look for materials, then you will certainly not have any problems, after we go up, there will be no one to protect you, if you stay here then there would be a problem."
Hearing the threat of the short and stout cultivator, the seafarers on the ship quickly rushed up to the island, finally only Ning Cheng stayed on the ship.
"You are not going up?" That short and stout cultivator stared at Ning Cheng and asked, he knew Ning Cheng, previously when they were on the ship, he had tried to slip away, but was forcibly pulled by him, and now he was the last one to hide.
Ning Cheng quickly stood up and said, "I am afraid that the ship would be swept away by the waves, and then when we go back there would not be a ship, so I plan to slip away from here and look after the ship."
The short and stout cultivator gave a sinister smile, and was just about to speak, when he heard the female cultivator called Zhuang Ya speak up, "If he does not want to go up then he will not go up, we also need someone to look after the ship. The number of people is almost enough. "
"Alright." The short and stout cultivator stared at Ning Cheng, then waved his hand, and quickly disappeared into the depths of the island with the rest of the people.
Ning Cheng left the ship at the edge of the island, and also set foot on the island alone. He slowly stretched out his Spiritual Consciousness, and could feel the life force binding him, it made him feel that this island was not simple at all. It was just that this island was so lacking in Spiritual Qi that he really could not think of anything good.
When he turned his Spiritual Consciousness back, he wanted to find the more than 50 people who had just left, but found that the more than 50 people seemed to have disappeared from this place, there was no trace of them at all.
Ning Cheng felt that something was wrong, he immediately followed the direction in which the people had disappeared. After the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng stopped in front of a rocky beach. There was an entrance in the middle of this rocky beach, and there were some Array Flags outside the entrance.
There really was someone who understood Array Formations, moreover his level of Array Formations was not low. When Ning Cheng saw these Array Flags, he knew that these Array Flags were definitely arranged by a person who was proficient in Array Formations.
As he walked through the entrance, a bloody smell immediately spread out, Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness immediately saw a corpse. He knew this corpse, it was the crew member who had just arrived on the island.
Ning Cheng first withdrew from the rocky beach entrance, and once again swept out with his Spiritual Consciousness, but soon his face turned cold.
This place turned out to be a Natural Killing Array, moreover the level was not low. When he had come here a moment ago, he could not even see it. Among these five True Condensation Cultivators, someone could recognize this Natural Killing Array, and could even use the Array Flags to open the entrance, this person was definitely an Array Formation Master who was even more powerful than him.
No wonder there were so many corpses on this island, it turned out that these people were killed by the Natural Killing Array.
It was not easy to find a Natural Killing Array, but to break this Natural Killing Array, it was even more difficult. But among these Evil Arrays, there was a straightforward way to break them, and that was the Blood Sacrifice Method.
The Blood Sacrifice Method to break the Natural Killing Array was an extremely cruel method, it was to leave behind a living person as a sacrifice to the Array Flags of the Natural Killing Array. That seafarer's corpse a moment ago, was obviously the first person to be sacrificed to the Array Flags.
The Killing Intent in Ning Cheng's heart soared, he simply could not stand this kind of thing. He had thought that these people brought these seafarers here to do hard labour to dig things up, but now it seems that this was not the case at all. If he had known that these people would be used as a sacrifice to the Array Flags, then Ning Cheng would have already secretly killed these five True Condensation Cultivators.
These seafarers were just some ordinary people, and had the same status as him, who relied on their hard work on the ship to earn some blood and sweat coins. But he did not think that in front of these cultivators, their small lives were nothing.
Ning Cheng sped up and rushed in, but he soon stopped, he had already seen 49 corpses, in other words, the Blood Sacrifice Method had already been completed.
Ning Cheng calmed down, his Spiritual Consciousness was once again blocked, at the same time he checked his position. This was a dark and damp reef passage under the island, the passage was full of twists and turns, and was deathly still. Those five True Condensation Cultivators simply could not even see their shadows. But Ning Cheng could feel that this passage was indeed opened because of the 49 seafarers' blood sacrifice method.
"Bang" A loud explosion came from the end of the passage, the next moment a huge, irregular natural rock hall appeared in the range of Ning Cheng's Spiritual Consciousness. Ning Cheng did not hesitate for even half a moment, as his body flashed and landed inside this natural rock hall.
