“The ghost ship is about to return!”
Following Shi Qianhan’s words, the entire ghost ship shook violently. It was shaking even more than before.
It was as if there were turbulent waves crashing against the ship maniacally, but the objects and placement on the ghost ship remained still.
“How is this a return voyage? The ship is about to capsize!”
“Oh no, I-I’m feeling seasick…”
“Are we going to die here?!”
Under this earth-shaking change, everyone frantically stabilized themselves. Some even cried out in fear.
“33-Days Divine Punch, Earth-shaking Stomp!”
Ye Chen took a deep breath in. He stood on the surface of the boat steadily as if he was rooted to the ground.
The ship was shaking more and more violently!
Those who did not board the ship were shocked to realize that the entire ghost ship started to spin on the spot like a mysterious power was controlling it.
The ghost ship spun faster and faster until it created a tornado-like wave. Below the ghost ship was a vacuum.
The vacuum was similar to a door that was almost thirty meters wide. As the ghost ship spun quickly, a crack slowly appeared on the door. The crack revealed a mysterious and ancient aura, like the entrance to an unknown world.
With a flash of white light, the ghost ship passed through the crack within a blink of an eye. The crack gradually closed and disappeared.
The entire river surface finally returned to its calmness.
However, there was no sign of the ghost ship.
A bone-piercing sea breeze blew, and the people who stayed on the shore could not help but shiver. Someone said with trembling lips, “H-How did they disappear suddenly?”
However, no one responded to him. Even though there were people who were immersed in the incident earlier, that scene was probably something that they would never forget in their entire lives.
…
Almost at the same moment the ghost ship disappeared from the river surface, the people inside the ship suddenly realized that the ship had stopped shaking like a storm had passed.
Some of them could not hold it in any longer. They collapsed to the ground and vomited. Their faces were pale, it was as if the entire sky had been flipped over.
Luo Tianya said solemnly, “The ghost ship is moving!”
“Where is the ghost ship going?”
Xiao Yuanjing, who was in the crowd, frowned. Everyone subconsciously looked outside the ghost ship, trying to see its trajectory.
However, to their horror, the ghost ship was covered in endless black fog, blocking everyone’s view.
The old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming’s expression changed, “Oh, no. The black fog is trying to get in!”
Only then did everyone realize that something was wrong. The black fog outside the ghost ship rushed maniacally towards the door and windows, as if it wanted to fill up the entire ship.
“Close the door, close the windows!”
Shi Qianhan’s expression changed, as if he had thought of something. He immediately let out a cry of surprise, then he moved to block the door of the room.
Seeing how tense he was, the rest did not dare hesitate and ran toward the surrounding windows.
A young man from the Xiao Clan’s camp reached out to close the window. However, he was too slow. After being corroded by the black fog, he was dragged into the fog by a pair of invisible hands.
“Ahhh!
Young master, save me…”
A young man’s scream came from the black fog.
Someone from the Xiao Clan who knew him immediately shouted, “Xiao Ming!”
“Don’t go over, close the window!”
At the crucial moment, it was Xiao Yuanjing who stopped him. With a grab, the window was closed.
Soon, the screams stopped.
A trail of blood splashed onto the window paper like ink, slowly dripping down. It was a ghastly sight!
Crunch, crunch, crunch…
The sound of chewing came from outside the window. It sounded like something was chewing on the young man’s flesh.
A martial venerable disappeared within a blink of an eye!
Everyone felt their scalps go numb, their faces filled with fear. They held their breaths as they stared at the surrounding doors and windows, afraid that the black fog would enter.
Time passed just like that!
Fortunately, after some time, the chewing sound outside the window slowly disappeared, and the entire ghost ship fell into a dead silence. Everyone could feel the ship moving, but they did not know where it was going.
Someone asked weakly, “Can the windows and doors block the black fog?”
Everyone fell silent.
A few seconds later, Xiao Yuanjing roared and glared at Shi Qianhan, “Shi Qianhan, tell me honestly, what was that black fog?”
Bai Shaoyu who was next to him also said with killing intent on his face, “If you don’t explain clearly, we’ll join forces to kill you here today!”
Everyone was really scared by the black fog!
“Brother Shi, we’re all on the same boat now.”
Ye Chen was the one who spoke at the critical moment, “Let’s not talk about our past grudges. Our goal is to survive on the ghost ship. You’d better make it clear!”
It was because he discovered that his Divine Consciousness had actually malfunctioned here. Those seemingly corroded doors and windows could block his Divine Consciousness…
Shi Qianhan nodded slightly and said, “I’m not sure what the black fog was, but I saw countless powerhouses being devoured by it when I boarded the ghost ship back then.”
“The black fog devours people?” Luo Shuiyao’s face turned pale.
“That’s right!”
Shi Qianhan nodded. Even with his cold personality, he could not help but look shocked, “However, the black fog cannot penetrate the doors and windows. I suspect that there’s a mysterious force protecting us around the ghost ship. As long as everyone stays here, we will be fine!”
Everyone was shocked and rejoiced when they heard that. They were shocked by the strangeness of the black fog. Fortunately, they reacted in time and had already closed the door and windows.
Xiao Yuanjing’s eyes flickered as he asked again, “Then do you know where this ghost ship will eventually arrive at?”
“I’m not sure about that!”
Shi Qianhan shook his head with a smile and said slowly, “Twenty years ago, I didn’t stay on the ghost ship for long. I was ambushed and severely injured by your Xiao Clan’s powerhouses. They then threw me out of the ghost ship. When I woke up, I found myself on a small island in the Bermuda Triangle!”
Following his words, Yuan Qitai immediately exclaimed, “You woke up in the Bermuda Triangle? How is that possible? You must know that the Wu River and the Atlantic Ocean are completely unrelated!”
As if sensing everyone’s disbelief, Shi Qianhan continued, “Therefore, I suspect that the ghost ship did not return along the Wu River!”
“What do you mean by that?”
Shi Qianhan said, “It means that there’s a mysterious power on the ghost ship that can allow it to break through the shackles of space and travel to an unknown place!”
“What?”
Everyone was shocked.
The Blood Clan marquis, Bruce, was shocked out of his wits, “Could it be that the rumors about the 30th parallel north are true?”
