Ye Chen was not surprised by Xiao Yuanjing's actions!
It was clear that this person wanted to use Bruce and the rest to deal with him. However, he did not care. Even Fire Emperor and Titan had died in his hands, so why would he care about Bruce and the rest?
After realizing how powerful Ye Chen was, some people gave up on the idea of breaking through the iron chain bridge he was on. They turned their attention to Luo Tianya, Tang Yiming, Xiao Yuanjing, and the rest.
However, they did not expect Luo Tianya and the rest to be as tough as Ye Chen. Within a few minutes, dozens of people died.
At that moment, there were less than 50 people left. The river water had long been dyed red with blood, and corpses floated on the river surface.
At that moment, Yuan Qitai, who was on the shore, mustered his courage and walked out. He looked at Ye Chen and said, "Mr. Ye, can you let us board the ghost ship?!"
As he spoke to this point, he knelt before Ye Chen on the spot and begged, "Mr. Ye, the previous leaders of the four tomb-raiding sects were left on the ghost ship back then. We really want to look for them!"
Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, "Come on up!"
"Thank you, Mr. Ye!"
Yuan Qitai and the other three were extremely excited. They stepped onto the iron chain bridge where Ye Chen was under everyone's envious gazes and stood behind him respectfully.
Seeing that, the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, stood out as well. He cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Ye, may I know if I can board the ship?"
"Patron Ye, as the No. 1 person in the Chinese cultivation world, I hope that you can allow us to board the ship on account that we share the same roots."
Master Yizhen and the old man with the sword also begged.
Ye Chen agreed to them one by one. However, he stopped the weaker ones. After all, even if he let them board, they might not survive.
Seeing that, Bai Shaoyu smirked coldly, "This brat is smart. After knowing our purpose, he followed suit."
The old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, Master Yizhen, and the rest were not weaker than Bruce and the rest. This way, the strength of both sides was considered balanced.
On the other hand, no one went onto Shi Qianhan's iron chain bridge.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Yuanjing led everyone onto the deck of the ghost ship.
Everyone realized that the deck of the ghost ship was very spacious, like a small field. There were no signs of corrosion. Instead, it was very dry. Even with dozens of people standing on it, there were no signs of it collapsing.
However, everyone subconsciously stood on the deck, not daring to enter the room on the side. Even though the room was brightly lit, there was not a single person in sight.
Just as everyone was looking at each other, they saw Shi Qianhan take the lead and walk into the largest room. He seemed to be very familiar with the place.
Everyone watched helplessly as he went in for a long time. Only after a long time did they secretly let out a sigh of relief. Speaking of which, it was funny. Before they boarded the ship, they fought with their lives on the line. Now that they were on the ship, they were afraid of death.
"Let's go!"
Luo Tianya took a step forward and followed Shi Qianhan's footsteps. As he walked, he turned around and said, "Everyone, follow my footsteps. Don't walk around, and don't touch anything."
Not long after, dozens of people walked into a relatively large room on the first floor of the ghost ship. The room was about a hundred square meters in size.
It was a little similar to an ancient palace. There were golden pillars with dragon patterns around it, and a few lanterns hung on the walls. Even under such a huge storm and with no one around, the lanterns were still bright and dazzling, exuding a strange aura.
At the top of the room stood a throne made of gold. There was a stone staircase made of white marble between the throne and the ground.
The most eye-catching thing was the throne. It was very dazzling. The armrests of the throne were like two dragon heads, and the dragon eyes were embedded with agate.
Behind the throne was a mural carved from bronze. The images on the mural were covered in rust and were very blurry. Vaguely, one could see that they looked like ancient gods. Even though they had been corroded by the passage of time, they still gave off a soul-stirring aura.
There were no tables, chairs, or benches in the room, so everyone maintained a standing posture and focused their attention on their surroundings.
After a few seconds, Xiao Yuanjing said slowly, "Shi Qianhan, you've been on the ghost ship once. Can you tell us what happened on the ship?"
Everyone was shocked and could not help but look at Shi Qianhan.
Shi Qianhan's expression was extremely cold, "Young Master Xiao, your Xiao clan and I are irreconcilable. Do you think I'll be so kind?"
"You …" Xiao Yuanjing's expression turned grim.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the side.
Everyone immediately looked up and saw an old woman's hand placed on a dragon-patterned golden pillar. What was terrifying was that her hand was rotting at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it didn't take long for the rot to spread to her body.
Yuan Qitai's expression changed when he saw that. He wanted to charge over by instinct, "Wenqing!"
"Don't go over!"
Ye Chen stopped him at the right time.
At the next moment!
The old woman's hands, feet, and even her entire body had turned into a pool of thick water. There was only a set of clothes mixed with blood on the ground. The blood was bubbling and steaming.
"Wenqing!"
Yuan Qitai and the other two were devastated!
They did not expect that their old friend of decades would meet with an accident the moment she boarded the ship, and she would die so miserably!
The rest could not help but change their expressions.
They had been on guard the moment they boarded the ship. When they realized that there was nothing special, some of them slowly relaxed their vigilance. Now that the old woman had ended up like this, their hearts were in their throats again.
"There's corpse poison on the golden pillar. Everyone, be careful!"
Master Yizhen's expression changed, and he immediately reminded everyone. Then, he slowly walked to the pool of blood. He held prayer beads in his hand and chanted, "Namo Amitabhaya, Dota Gada Night …"
Even the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, burned a spirit talisman and threw it on the pool of blood, "May the Heavenly Venerable of Mysterious Lingbao of the Taishang Cave and the Heavenly Venerable of Taiyi and Nirvana receive us.
"I forgot to tell you guys, it's best not to touch anything on the ship!"
Shi Qianhan only spoke then. However, he was looking at Ye Chen. Among everyone present, he only cared about Ye Chen's life.
An old man next to Yuan Qitai glared at him, "Damn it. If that's the case, why didn't you remind us earlier? If that's the case, Wenqing wouldn't have died … "
Shi Qianhan's expression remained unchanged, "What does your life and death have to do with me?"
That person was furious. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly felt the entire ghost ship shake violently. He staggered and fell to the ground.
The rest were not much better. They channeled their True Energy to resist the jolt with shock on their faces. The commotion was simply too great, as if the entire ship was about to flip over.
"The ghost ship is about to return!"
Only Shi Qianhan was not worried. Instead, he was happy. His expression was gentle, "Yu 'er, I'll be able to see you soon. Wait for me …"
