They sped all the way.
More than ten minutes later, the group arrived at the Wu River!
It was already late at night, and the cold wind was bone-chilling. There was not a single starlight in the sky. However, the Wu River was filled with countless people. As far as the eye could see, the sky and earth were filled with people.
Even Ye Chen could not help but frown, "Why are there so many people?"
"You don't know, do you?"
Luo Shuiyao smiled snappily, "Even Shang Santian covets the ghost ship, let alone others. Therefore, every time the ghost ship appears, the entire world will be shaken, and countless people will head straight for the ghost ship."
Ye Chen asked, "Didn't you say that you can't board the ship without the netherworld token?"
Just as Luo Shuiyao was about to speak, Xiang Heng immediately pointed into the distance and exclaimed, "Look, it's the ghost ship!"
Everyone immediately looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw an ancient and enormous merchant ship standing on the surface of the river. The ancient ship was surrounded by thick black energy, like iron chains condensed from black energy.
The ship was very large, about 200 square meters in size. Two lanterns hung on the mast, and the light emitted by the lanterns was so white that it was slightly green. The ship was brightly lit, and the doors and windows were wide open.
What greeted their eyes were carved beams and painted rafts, brothels, and pleasure boats. Ingots of gold were piled up like mountains, and they were so bright that they were dazzling. It was as luxurious as an ancient emperor riding a dragon boat to Jiangnan …
"Gold, there's a lot of gold on the ship!"
"Hahaha, I'm rich. Don't fight me for it!"
"…"
Someone stared fixedly at the golden mountain on the ship, his eyes filled with greed. Without even thinking, he jumped from the shore into the river, stepping on the waves and rushing towards the ghost ship.
It was a Martial Dao master!
After him, several other figures also rushed towards the ghost ship, afraid that they would be a step behind and let others beat them to it.
Greed was a human's innate nature!
The person at the front finally approached the ghost ship. He could no longer hide the excitement on his face. He stomped his feet and leaped up, as if he wanted to jump onto the bow of the ship.
However, at that moment, the smile on that person's face froze. His eyes bulged as if he had seen something terrifying.
"Ah!"
He let out a blood-curdling scream, and all the flesh and blood on his body exploded. Blood splattered everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, he had turned into a ghastly white skeleton. The white skeleton suddenly fell into the river.
A Martial Dao Grandmaster died on the spot!
"Hua …"
The people on the shore were in an uproar. No one had clearly seen how that person had died. This scene had really happened too suddenly and strangely.
Seeing the man's death, the people behind him were also shocked and stopped in their tracks. Obviously, they were frightened by the man's tragic state.
"Pretending to be mysterious? This old man doesn't believe it!"
One of the old men's expressions changed several times. Then, he sneered and advanced instead of retreating. He increased his speed and leaped toward the ghost ship.
This person's strength was much stronger than the previous one. Just as he was about to land on the bow of the ship, a ghastly white bone hand attacked him from behind.
The skeletal hand suddenly pierced through his body.
The old man's body turned into a skeleton in an instant, and the culprit who killed him was the skeleton that had fallen into the river in the first place.
Another Martial Dao Grandmaster had died!
The people on the shore were completely silent, and the few people who were closest to the ghost ship ran toward the shore with pale faces.
Even though they knew that the ghost ship was extremely dangerous, many people did not expect that two people would die in a row in just a few breaths of time!
Gold might be good, but one had to be alive to take it!
On a small hill, Xiao Yuanjing witnessed everything with his own eyes. His expression was cold, "You're courting death!"
At this moment, a young man beside him pointed opposite him and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Xiao, they're here!"
Xiao Yuanjing looked in the direction he was pointing at and saw Luo Shuiyao, Ye Chen, and the rest immediately.
Xiao Yuanjing's gaze paused on Ye Chen for a few seconds before he said with a cold grin, "I can't do anything to you in China. I'll kill you when we get on the ghost ship!"
At the same time!
Ye Chen seemed to have sensed something and looked over. He happened to meet Xiao Yuanjing's gaze. Both of them stopped at the right time. Even so, there was a faint clash of killing intent between them.
Luo Shuiyao and the rest followed his gaze and noticed their group, "I told you, these guys have been here for a long time!"
Apart from Bai Shaoyu and the rest, there were a few unfamiliar faces beside Xiao Yuanjing. They must have been sent by the other ancient clans.
"Look!"
At this moment, someone exclaimed in surprise.
Everyone realized that the body of the ghost ship was actually flickering with red light. The red light was the blood that sprayed onto the ship when the two people died.
However, the blood was boiling rapidly at that moment and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had been absorbed by the ship.
"This ship is sucking human blood?"
"Ghost ship, this really is a ghost ship!"
"The power of the curse, this is a ship that has been cursed!"
"…"
Countless people's expressions changed. Even Martial Dao masters could not resist the power of the curse and board the ship. From this, one could see how terrifying this ship was.
"The power of the curse?"
Ye Chen secretly frowned when he saw that too.
"Mr. Ye?"
A bewildered and uncertain voice sounded.
Ye Chen lifted his head and looked over. He saw an old man in a Daoist robe walking over quickly with three people following behind him.
He said in surprise, "Why are you here?"
The person who came was Yuan Qitai of the Banshan Sect, one of the Four Tomb Raiding Sects that he had met when he went to Shennongjia to look for the Geographical Vein.
"Mr. Ye, it's really you!"
Yuan Qitai said excitedly, "I thought you weren't coming!"
Before this, he had taken the initiative to invite Ye Chen to board the ghost ship with him. However, Ye Chen rejected him back then, so he was disappointed.
He only noticed Luo Shuiyao and the rest next to Ye Chen at the end of his sentence. He asked tentatively, "Oh yeah, Mr. Ye, who are these people?"
Ye Chen smiled lightly, "A few friends!"
Yuan Qitai hesitated for a moment. Just as he was about to ask something, he suddenly realized that Xiang Heng was looking at him coldly. His eyes were filled with endless might and disdain.
"Martial venerable, he's actually a martial venerable!"
A storm surged in his heart. He said a few more words to Ye Chen before leading his men away.
An old woman behind Yuan Qitai sneered and said, "This Mr. Ye and his friends are really arrogant. They actually ignored us!"
"That's right. We, the Four Tomb Raiding Sects, were once glorious. I didn't expect to be looked down on like this!" Another man in a bamboo hat was furious.
"Be careful with your words!"
Yuan Qitai's expression changed. He looked around before saying, "Do you know that the people beside Mr. Ye are all martial venerables?!"
"What? Martial venerables? "
"Doesn't that mean Mr. Ye …"
The three of them were shocked!
Yuan Qitai let out a long sigh, "The last time we saw Mr. Ye, he was already at the peak of the master stage. I didn't expect him to step into the martial venerable stage in just half a month. He's truly a monster!"
"That might not be the case!"
The old woman from before chuckled, "The people beside him are martial venerables, but that doesn't mean that he's also a martial venerable. What if he came with those martial venerables?"
