Inside the ghost palanquin, many figures were sitting quietly. Some were alone, some were in groups of two or three. They were communicating with each other using their Divine Sense.
Including Lu Ye, there were nine people with different auras.
Among them, there were two women and six men. There was one whose gender could not be determined. This person was called Phantom. He was a shadow that was constantly changing. Not only was it impossible to tell whether he was a man or a woman, but it was also difficult to tell whether he was a man or a woman from his voice.
But after Jiu Yan's introduction, Lu Ye knew that this Phantom was the current leader of the ghost race!
Among these nine people, only Lu Ye was at the early stage of the Sunshine realm. He was very unique among this group of strong cultivators.
Because there were only two women, besides Jiu Yan, the other female cultivator called Su Wan was very close to Jiu Yan.
This Su Wan was the fifth person to be captured. She gave off a very clean feeling. Her beauty was also quite outstanding, and her body was curvaceous.
But unlike her clean temperament, her body seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog. Even though there were so many experts present, not a single one of them knew of her background. She was a top expert who shouldn't be unknown, but it was as if she had suddenly popped out from some corner of the world.
Jiu Yan also secretly warned Lu Ye to be careful of this Su Wan. She obviously felt that this woman was not simple.
On this day, Lu Ye had nothing to do, so he was chatting with one of the strong cultivators. The reason they could talk was mainly because this strong cultivator was from the Five Color Domain. He was a strong cultivator from the Stone Clan, called Zhongyue.
On the Vientiane Sea, the Three World Island had a good relationship with the Five Color Island. It was no secret that Lu Ye and Suan Ni were friends. Over the years, the Five Color Merchant Guild had made a fortune on the Vientiane Sea, and the Three World Island played a part in it.
Naturally, the strong cultivators of the Five Color Domain had long heard of Lu Ye, the master of the Wanxiang Sea. There was also a Sunshine from the Five Color Domain who came to visit Lu Ye to express his gratitude.
With such a natural relationship, Lu Ye and Zhongyue could naturally talk about it.
As they were talking, Zhongyue suddenly turned his head and looked at the door of the ghost palanquin. He raised his eyebrows, "Oh? Is there another newcomer? "
He was the seventh person to be captured in the ghost palanquin. He naturally knew what it meant when the ghost palanquin opened. he had seen this scene twice.
Initially, he wanted to use this opportunity to leave the ghost palanquin, but after knowing what happened to Chen Li, he gave up.
Since the Ghost Palanquin had captured them, it was clear that it would not let them go easily.
The others also noticed the abnormality of the sedan door and turned their heads to look. They saw a red silk ribbon appear out of thin air and retract. A figure fell into the sedan and rolled on the ground awkwardly. He hurriedly stood up and looked around vigilantly.
Then, he froze …
This was an awkward situation that all the newcomers had to face. The interior of the palanquin was not large to begin with. With so many experts gathered in such a short period of time, the newcomers would be frightened out of their wits, thinking that they had fallen into a tiger's den, no matter how strong their cultivation was.
"Aiya, another sister has finally arrived." It was the mysterious Su Wan. She was sitting not far from Jiu Yan. When she got up, she enthusiastically waved at the new cultivator. "Sister, come over here. Don't be afraid, you can't fight here."
The newcomer was a female cultivator. Her temperament was extremely delicate, like a flower that had been ravaged by a storm. Anyone who saw her would inevitably feel pity for her.
Feeling Su Wan's enthusiasm, she looked around and found that although there were many experts here, they were all sizing her up. No one had any ill intentions. She immediately understood that Su Wan did not lie to her.
Just as she was about to walk toward Su Wan, a voice came from the corner. "Is it Daoist Water Immortal from the Infinite Realm?"
The person who spoke was called Sheng Yuanzi. Judging from his posture, he obviously knew this newcomer called Water Immortal.
Water Immortal looked toward the voice and was delighted. "Daoist Sheng Yuanzi?" She hurriedly walked over. Anyone would be at a loss if they suddenly appeared in such a place. Since she met someone she knew, she naturally had to go over and inquire about the situation.
Soon, Water Immortal came to Sheng Yuanzi's side. Their divine senses surged as they communicated.
"What a pity." Su Wan smiled and shook her head. There were not many female cultivators here. It was rare for one to come, so she wanted to get closer to her.
However, Lu Ye's expression changed.
Water Immortal from the Infinite Realm …
If he wasn't mistaken, wasn't this Su Yuqing's close friend?
Back then, when he set off for the Asura Field from Mount Fangcun, Su Yuqing had given him a jade token, saying that it was something that belonged to Water Immortal from the Infinite Realm. Because Water Immortal was in the Asura Field, Su Yuqing had told him that if he encountered any trouble in the Asura Field, he could ask Water Immortal for help.
However, on that trip to the Asura Field, Lu Ye did not see Water Immortal and did not know how to contact her, so he had given up.
Was this Water Immortal that Water Immortal?
Lu Ye was puzzled. Logically speaking, there should only be one Water Immortal from the Infinite Realm. There shouldn't be so many names, especially with her cultivation.
Thinking about it, he rummaged through his storage ring and quickly found the jade token that Su Yuqing had given him back then.
Water Immortal, who was talking to Sheng Yuanzi, suddenly turned to look at him.
Sheng Yuanzi also said, "The two over there, one is the Lord of the Myriad Elephant Sea, Lu Yiye, and the other is the Dao Master of the Myriad Elephant Island, Jiu Yan. You may have heard of them, but they are the ones who know the most about the ghost palanquin because the cause of the incident was in the Myriad Elephant Sea. The two of them were also the first to arrive here. If Fellow Daoist wants to know more, you might as well ask them."
"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist." Water Immortal stood up and bowed. "Then I'll go ask them."
"Go ahead." Sheng Yuanzi nodded.
Narcissus then walked straight towards Lu Ye.
When she got close, Water Immortal bowed first and said in a soft voice, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Lu Ye nodded. At this moment, he was certain that Water Immortal in front of him was Su Yuqing's friend because her aura was exactly the same as the aura left in the jade token.
Water Immortal looked at the jade token in his hand and understood. "Did Big Sister Yuqing give this to you?"
She had only given this jade token to Su Yuqing. Now that it had appeared in Lu Ye's hands, the situation was naturally very clear.
"Yes. Back then, I went to the Asura Field. Before I left, Senior Sister Su gave this to me and told me that if I needed help, I could ask you to take care of me!"
Water Immortal asked, "May I ask … what is your relationship with Big Sister Yuqing?"
If they weren't close, Su Yuqing wouldn't have given her jade token to others. However, the last time she met Su Yuqing was many years ago, and she hadn't heard Su Yuqing mention Lu Ye.
Lu Ye blinked. "Dao companion."
This wasn't a secret in the Vientiane Sea.
Jiu Yan was originally looking at Water Immortal curiously, but when she heard this, she immediately stared at Lu Ye.
Su Wan noticed this and looked at Jiu Yan, then at Lu Ye. As if she had discovered something interesting, her eyes brightened.
"Ah?" Water Immortal couldn't help but cover her red lips. "Big Sister actually found a Dao companion?"
She couldn't help but look at Lu Ye from head to toe, wanting to see what was so special about him that he could actually make Su Yuqing fall in love with him. However, no matter how she looked, she couldn't tell much. She couldn't help but recall Sheng Yuanzi's introduction just now.
The master of the Vientiane Sea, this wasn't a light title! Water Immortal had been cultivating in seclusion in the Infinite Realm for so many years, so she really didn't know anything about the changes in the Vientiane Sea. No one had ever mentioned this to her before. After all, it wasn't convenient for the Infinite Realm to communicate with the Vientiane Sea, and there weren't many direct interests involved.
"It's the truth." Lu Ye nodded. "Senior-apprentice Sister Water Immortal, please forgive me. I was punished by the ghost palanquin and couldn't get up. I apologize for my rudeness."
Water Immortal was suddenly enlightened. No wonder Lu Ye had been sitting here so casually. So there was a reason for this.
"Ghost palanquin … is it that strange bridal palanquin?" Water Immortal asked. Before she was captured, she had clearly seen the ghost palanquin.
"Yes." Lu Ye nodded.
Water Immortal frowned for a moment. She simply sat down in front of Lu Ye. "This matter is far too bizarre. There are many things I don't understand. Can junior-apprentice brother dispel some of my doubts?" Her temperament was far too delicate. As she frowned, boundless pity appeared. Let alone Lu Ye, even a female cultivator like Su Wan felt her heart tremble.
"Of course."
After a moment, Water Immortal finally understood everything.
"So, you're saying that the ghost palanquin will eventually bring us to a place called Star Abyss. And that place will allow us to forge our own Dao foundation?" Water Immortal asked.
Before Lu Ye could finish, Su Wan continued, "That's right. Otherwise, why do you think everyone is waiting here quietly? Sister Water Immortal, it's good that you're here. This way, we'll have three female cultivators. We should get closer to each other in the future."
Water Immortal smiled kindly at her, then looked at Lu Ye. "This deduction makes sense, but it doesn't seem to have any concrete evidence."
When others asked, Lu Ye naturally wouldn't say too much. But since Water Immortal was Su Yuqing's good friend, there was no harm in saying more.
"If it was said that it didn't have any evidence at first, then it does now."
"What do you mean?"
"Those captured by the ghost palanquin are all at the peak of the Sunshine Realm. They're also the strongest cultivators in their respective regions." Seeing Water Immortal looking at her in confusion, Lu Ye explained, "My region is an exception. It's not included."
Jiu Yan sighed. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she was sure that Lu Ye must have done something after she was captured by the ghost palanquin. That's why she was dragged in as well. Speaking of which, she had implicated Lu Ye.
"Actually, after Daoist Chen Li, there was another person called Changfeng who was captured. At that time, he was being chased by an even stronger cultivator. But the ghost palanquin only captured him and ignored the other stronger cultivator."
"Why is that?" Water Immortal was confused. "According to Junior Brother, shouldn't the ghost palanquin choose the stronger cultivator to capture?"
"That's right." Lu Ye nodded. "But what if the stronger cultivator has already forged his own Dao foundation? I'm afraid that's the only explanation for why the ghost palanquin didn't choose him. "
