175: Board the ghost ship! Furious Zhe Changsheng!
"What?" Wu De was stunned, apparently not having fully processed the meaning of that sentence.
"That ship eats people, and we'll be eaten too if we go up there," the God-Slaying Stone said.
"Other than the Ghost Ship, no living being can escape this calamity, unless protected by a Saint's will," Qin Han said.
"What about the Bone Tower? That thing can definitely do it, right?" Wu De suggested.
"No, the Bone Tower hasn't developed sentience, so it can't protect its master. This big octopus wouldn't be foolish enough to attack a Saint weapon," Qin Han shook his head.
What's more, the big octopus has more than a dozen tentacles, and its healing speed is extremely fast after being damaged. Even if the Bone Tower unleashed its power, it would at most be a fifty-fifty outcome.
Stuck in this ghostly place, who knew if there would be other killing intents coming next.
"This Daoist will listen to you. Whether we live or die is up to fate," Wu De gritted his teeth and made a decision.
Zhe Yunli, who was beside him, pleaded, "Qin, I beg you, hand me over to my Imperial Brother."
Zhe Changsheng would definitely be able to protect her safely if he unleashed his trump card. She didn't want to board that broken ship.
She had clearly seen how tragically the Martial Artists of the Senluo Divine Kingdom had died earlier.
"You're still my maidservant right now. Do you think you can just leave whenever you want?" Qin Han said with a half-smile.
"I don't want the treasured seal anymore. Consider it my redemption, okay?" Zhe Yunli's voice was tinged with a sob.
It was clear that she was very scared; her previous affectation seemed to have been wiped away by fear.
"Alright," Qin Han nodded.
"Huh?" Zhe Yunli thought she was hallucinating and stood rooted to the spot.
She clearly hadn't expected Qin Han to agree to her request.
"You agreed?" Zhe Yunli asked.
"Redeeming yourself with a treasured seal? Why wouldn't I agree to such a good deal?" Qin Han said, then wrapped his arm around her slender waist and threw her towards the celestial boat.
Zhe Yunli, soaring into the air, shrieked in fright. Zhe Changsheng, hearing the familiar voice, suddenly turned his head.
"Yunli?" He ignored the large octopus in front of him and hurriedly embraced her, gently placing her on the ship.
"How are you here? Weren't you captured by a treacherous person?" Zhe Changsheng frowned slightly, showing no joy at the reunion with a long-lost family member.
"Imperial Brother, I'm scared. Can you send me out?" Zhe Yunli could no longer control herself, and tears streamed down her face.
It was as if she wanted to vent all the grievances she had suffered during this time.
First, she was threatened, then her lips were kissed, and she even massaged Qin Han's back.
She had never imagined these things, and now she was even brought to such a dangerous place.
It could be said that the things she had experienced in these two days were more stimulating than all the experiences of her past decade combined.
"There's no chance to leave now. Only by entering the Taigu Divine Nest can we find a chance at survival," Zhe Changsheng said, gently patting her shoulder.
At this moment, he noticed that his own Imperial Sister was actually wearing coarse cloth clothing, so he hurriedly checked her arms and legs to see if there were any signs of torture.
"Imperial Brother, what's wrong?" Zhe Yunli was a little confused.
"Who did it?" Zhe Changsheng's voice was like a demonic sound from the Nine Netherworlds, filled with endless killing intent.
"I only know his surname is Qin," Zhe Yunli had never seen her brother's face so predatory before, and she was a bit scared.
"Qin, eh? He's just an outsider," Zhe Changsheng's eyes were filled with malice, and a cold smile played on his lips.
"Princess!" Mystic Shadow King was excited to see his master and hurriedly stepped forward to kneel.
"This servant failed to protect you; please punish me!"
Originally, Zhe Yunli had a belly full of anger, but now seeing Mystic Shadow King, she no longer had the desire to vent.
"Get up. This Princess will remember your mistakes for now; I'll punish you when we get out," Zhe Yunli put on her Princess airs.
For some reason, this long-lost feeling made her feel incredibly refreshed.
A sense of exhilaration she had never experienced before.
"Thank you, Princess," Mystic Shadow King breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing her words.
To be honest, he had indeed prepared himself for death. Based on his long-standing understanding of the Princess's temperament, he had no illusions of luck.
But upon hearing her words, he felt a strange panic.
"Where is he?" Zhe Changsheng asked in a deep voice.
"He went to the Ghost Ship," Zhe Yunli truthfully replied.
"What?"
The Saint's projection had already severed all the large octopus's tentacles, but a black liquid suddenly emerged from the seabed, and they grew back in an instant.
If this continued, they would inevitably be worn down to death here.
Watching his subordinate Martial Artists dwindle, Zhe Changsheng knew the outcome would be dire.
In the end, perhaps only dozens or even a dozen people would survive.
A force of tens of thousands had come, with a shocking loss rate of ninety-nine percent.
And they couldn't even guarantee that they would make it out alive.
"Imperial Brother, are you going to use Father's projection so soon?" Zhe Yunli looked at the projection constantly bombarding the large octopus, worriedly asking.
"Originally, I had already staked everything, but now that you're back, we can summon another Saint's projection," Zhe Changsheng smiled.
"The treasured seal is gone..." Zhe Yunli said weakly.
"Gone?" Zhe Changsheng's face suddenly changed, and he abruptly grabbed Zhe Yunli's arm, "You don't have the treasured seal on you?"
"Imperial Brother, you're hurting me," Zhe Yunli's pretty face showed pain.
"My apologies, I was too nervous."
"The treasured seal was used for redemption," Zhe Yunli looked elsewhere, not daring to look at Zhe Changsheng's reaction.
"How audacious! To dare to plunder a sacred artifact of our dynasty!" Zhe Changsheng was furious, staring directly in the direction of the Ghost Ship.
Qin Han was seen standing on the burial sky coffin, and sensing the fierce gaze from behind him, he slowly turned around.
His gaze, full of killing intent, was extremely aggressive. Qin Han smiled and waved, his lips moving slightly: "The taste was good."
Zhe Changsheng read his lips, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger in his heart.
"Did he disrespect you?"
"No, he didn't," Zhe Yunli's eyes darted away, and she shook her head gently.
"Let's not discuss this matter for now. We'll talk about it after we overcome this difficulty," Zhe Changsheng exhaled a long breath.
He had never felt so aggrieved. The perpetrator was an obscure outsider, no less.
In the ocean, all the tentacles of that enormous Vicious Beast simultaneously struck the sky, releasing terrifying Divine Ability, instantly piercing through the clouds and pointing directly at the Saint's projection.
Bang!
The collision of the two erupted in dazzling, brilliant light.
"Ah..."
The aftershocks were vast, and some people screamed continuously, instantly being incinerated into ash by the scorching light.
Others were captured by the suckers on the tentacles, and in an instant, they were swallowed, their flesh and blood mangled.
"Rise!"
Zhe Tian Divine Lord's large hand lifted several severely damaged ships directly into the high sky, soaring upwards.
After flying to a sufficiently high distance, everyone realized they were already a hundred miles from the sea surface.
As the altitude continued to rise, that malevolent spirit finally gave up, sinking into the sea and disappearing without a trace.
After an unknown amount of time, the Saint's projection slowly dissipated, and the ships returned to the sea surface. Only then did everyone come back to their senses.
"We finally escaped a calamity. That beast is too terrifying."
"I saw someone board the Ghost Ship just now. There should only be corpse water left now, right?"
"No, he's still alive."
Amidst the dense mist, Yan Taiyin's eyes glowed with divine light, seeing the distant scene directly.
An ancient large ship was positioned there, with two people standing on it. One of them even waved at them.
