"What? It's still 48 people! "
"In other words, there's an extra person?!"
"…"
At that moment, everyone felt their scalps go numb. They felt that the temperature in the extremely cold room had dropped by dozens of degrees, and everyone's backs started to turn cold.
At the beginning, everyone had counted the total number of people. There were 48.
After Bai Pengfei's death!
Logically speaking, the total number of people should be 47!
But why were there still 48?!
"Impossible!"
Bai Shaoyu subconsciously objected, but he still kept sizing up the people behind him. It was obvious that he was feeling goosebumps.
For a moment, a few flashlights kept shining on everyone's faces. Everyone was counting their numbers.
After a while, Bai Shaoyu's trembling voice was heard, "W-We still have 23 people on our side …"
They had lost Bai Pengfei, so logically speaking, there should be 22 of them. The total number was still the same …
"What?"
"Who's the extra person?"
"…"
Everyone was shocked. They subconsciously gathered together to look at Xiao Yuanjing and the rest, only to realize that there was a figure standing beside the last dragon-patterned golden pillar.
Bai Shaoyu gulped and asked, "Who are you?"
The person did not move or say a word.
Bai Shaoyu shouted again, "Are you a human or a ghost?"
"You're just trying to act mysterious!"
Xiao Yuanjing snorted coldly. He took a step forward and extended his hand toward the figure. Logically speaking, as the second on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard, only Luo Tianya could suppress him!
However, just as his hand was about to touch the figure …
The figure was even faster than him. It turned into an afterimage and dodged. Then, it rushed to the second floor of the ghost ship from the stairs that everyone had discovered earlier.
Bai Shaoyu exclaimed, "That thing ran up!"
The series of actions was extremely fast, and it was completed in the blink of an eye. By the time everyone reacted and wanted to stop it, it was already too late.
Xiao Yuanjing's expression was terrible!
He had personally attacked, but he could not stop the other party!
At that moment, everyone's attention was no longer on Bai Pengfei's death. Instead, they were frowning and thinking about what the black shadow was.
Yuan Qitai stammered, "Was that thing a human or a ghost?"
"It doesn't look like a ghost!"
Master Yizhen shook his head slowly, "I'm a Buddhist, I've always been extremely sensitive to evil things. However, I didn't sense any evil energy from that figure just now."
"Not bad!"
Even the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, nodded and said, "It's very simple for ghosts to kill people. There's no need to eat blood and flesh."
Everyone looked down at the human skin on the ground.
It was unknown if someone was overly nervous, but the breath they exhaled hit the human skin, causing it to swell up.
"You're already dead, yet you still want to cause trouble!"
Zhang Wuming raised his hand and threw out a talisman. The talisman ignited without any fire and immediately burned the human skin, filling the room with a foul smell.
Luo Tianya said thoughtfully, "Could it be related to the black fog outside the window?"
Ye Chen said nothing. He only took a deep look at the stairs leading to the second floor of the ghost ship as if he was thinking about something.
"I've had enough!"
At that moment, Ye Chen extended his hand. The old man with the sword took a step forward and said coldly, "Looks like staying in the room isn't reliable at all. We all have our own goals on the ghost ship. What else can we do by staying here other than waiting for death?"
With that, he held his sword in one hand and stepped onto the stairs leading to the second floor, "I don't believe this. I don't care what kind of demons they are, I'll destroy them with my sword!"
Zhang Wuming wanted to stop him, "Fellow Li, don't!"
However, the old man with the sword did not even look back. Soon, he disappeared from the first floor of the ghost ship, and everyone heard footsteps coming from the wooden boards above their heads.
"Let's follow him. I'd like to see what dares to play tricks in front of us!"
Xiao Yuanjing said and followed the old man up the stairs to the second floor. Bai Shaoyu hesitated for a moment before leading his men to follow closely behind.
"Since they're not afraid, what are we afraid of?"
Luo Tianya did not want to be outdone. He led his men and followed.
The old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, could not help but look at Ye Chen when he saw that, "Mr. Ye, do you think we should go up?"
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen smiled lightly and took a step forward.
…
The second floor of the ghost ship!
When everyone came up one after another, they realized that there were many tables, chairs, and benches on the second floor. The doors and windows were tightly shut. Just as Shi Qianhan had said, this floor was the dining room!
After everyone sized up the second floor of the ghost ship, they realized that it was empty. Someone could not help but ask, "Where's the person who came up earlier?"
With his reminder, everyone came to their senses.
That was right!
The old man with the sword had clearly come up!
But where was he?
Zhang Wuming frowned and said, "Could he have gone to the third floor?"
Someone exclaimed, "There are no stairs on the second floor!"
Everyone was shocked. They immediately checked their surroundings again and found no stairs to the third floor. The entire second floor seemed to be sealed.
Ye Chen frowned and tried his best to spread his Divine Consciousness. He realized that it was really like a layer. The surrounding doors and windows completely blocked his Divine Consciousness.
"Wait, where's Shi Qianhan? Why didn't he follow us? "
Luo Shuiyao, who was in the crowd, suddenly spoke.
Everyone looked and realized that Shi Qianhan was really not in the crowd.
Master Yizhen shook his head and said, "Looks like he stayed down there?"
"This person is also afraid of death!"
Bai Shaoyu scoffed, "Looks like I overestimated him!"
Ye Chen thought to himself and turned around to return to the first floor of the ghost ship. However, at that moment, he stopped in his tracks and suddenly looked at a wall before him.
There was a lantern hanging there. Unlike the other lanterns, this lantern was white. The cover was not made of paper, but skin. As the light flickered, it looked like a human head smiling evilly.
Moreover, there was a faint pungent smell of blood.
"Is there something wrong with this lantern?"
A young man from the Xiao clan's camp walked over subconsciously. He reached out and took the lantern down, holding it in his hand to size it up.
At the next moment!
The entire second floor shook violently.
A coffin slowly appeared in front of everyone!
It was an ancient coffin, but there was no lid!
The strangest thing was that there was a faint light in the coffin.
This sudden scene caused everyone to subconsciously take a step back. Their faces were filled with fear as they stared at the ancient coffin.
Tang Yiming's expression turned ugly, "This ancient coffin appeared out of thin air, and it even blocked the stairs back to the first floor!"
"Xiao Shun, go take a look!"
Xiao Yuanjing glanced at the young man from the Xiao clan who had taken down the lantern earlier.
The young man was obviously afraid, "Young master!"
Xiao Yuanjing's gaze turned cold, "Go!"
Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not dare disobey the order. He carried the lantern and walked toward the ancient coffin while trembling …
What no one knew was that on the fourth floor of the ghost ship, an ice coffin stood quietly on the ground. Inside the coffin lay a peerless woman.
Shi Qianhan was currently standing in the ice coffin. He slapped the coffin lid away and bent down to gently caress the woman's face. His eyes were filled with tenderness, "Yu 'er, Qianhan is here …"
…
