Chapter 713 - The Ancient Ship Appears, Shocking the World!
Chapter 713: The Ancient Ship Appears, Shocking the World!
At that moment, Li Laosi’s entire body was trembling. His gaze was fixed on the river in the distance as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
The surface of the river, which had been calm before, was now covered in fog!
It was clearly night, and there was only one lamp to light the way, but the white fog above the river was so bright that it was blinding. It started to gather in clusters, as if demons were gathering on it.
A ship strangely appeared!
It broke through the white fog without a sound!
It was a jet-black ship, not a fishing boat. It looked like a merchant ship in ancient times responsible for transporting grains on the canal.
The ship was brightly lit, and there were two pale lanterns hanging from the mast. They swayed as the ship moved forward, resembling a pair of human eyes.
The doors on the ship were all wide open. The windows inside were snow-white, and white candles were burning brightly. There were carved beams, painted pillars and a brothel. It was nicely decorated…
The strangest thing was that waves of decadent sounds came faintly from the ship, like the sound of pipa and bamboo. It was chaotic and loud…
However, there was no one on the ship.
The water in the distance was slowly turning red. It was like a thick pool of blood rushing toward him, and there was a pungent smell of blood.
“Ah!”
Li Laosi let out a cry from deep in his throat and fell on his butt on the deck of the boat. He was scared silly. He wanted to stand up and run, but he realized that he did not have the strength.
He could only watch as the strange ship drew closer.
He, Li Laosi, had grown up eating at his neighbours’ homes. He would do anything due to poverty and hunger when he was young. He worked at a coffin shop, and he slept at the grave. He thought he was brave.
However, he had goosebumps at the moment.
The scene in front of him was too shocking!
An ancient ship that no one was driving.
Not only that, it was going against the current!
Seeing the strange ship getting closer and closer to him, Li Laosi mustered his courage from not knowing where. He screamed and drove his fishing boat toward the shore.
Perhaps due to the shock, he fell into the water. It was winter, the water temperature was -20 °C.
The moment Li Laosi fell into the water, he shivered and tried to swim toward the fishing boat. However, at that moment, he felt a cold, bone-piercing hand tugging at his feet.
Li Laosi struggled a few times, and his entire body was submerged on the river surface. At the place where he disappeared, a thick pool of blood slowly dispersed.
…
That night, the entire China and the entire world were shocked!
The ghost ship that appeared once every 20 years appeared once again!
In an instant, countless forces rushed towards Wu River. Not only the Chinese powerhouses, but even many Western powerhouses also moved upon hearing the news.
In Kunlun, a powerhouse stood at the peak of the mountain. His gaze shot to his feet and stood against the wind as he said, “The ghost ship has appeared once again. This time, my Xiao family must obtain the item from back then!”
At the Dragon Soul headquarters in China, Niu Qingshan’s face was ashen, “So they’re finally here? I wonder how many more people are going to die this time. Jiang Yuheng, why did you board the ghost ship back then? What exactly did you discover?!”
On the endless sea, a white-haired young man ran on water. His eyes were as gentle as water, “Yu’er, Qianhan is here. It’s been 20 years. You must’ve missed me!”
At the summit of Kunlun, a blurry old figure stood with a sword in his hand and muttered, “Ye, I don’t have much time left. After I die, all the hope of the Chinese cultivation world will be on you!
Hahaha, the Longevity Sword has broken the longevity!
What nonsense is longevity? To me, Chen Tulong, this so-called longevity is just seeking to do as I please. The sword in my hand is longevity!”
“…”
That night, Ye Chen was discussing something with Yang Tian and Lin Tai when his phone rang. It was Luo Shuiyao, “Ye Chen, the ghost ship has appeared. Come and meet us in Hui Province!”
“Okay, send me the exact location we’re meeting!”
Ye Chen’s expression froze. He looked at Yang Tian and Lin Tai after hanging up the phone, “I’ve already given you the general cultivation techniques that the Star Pavilion members can cultivate with. After I leave, Lin Tai will be in charge of managing the situation, and Yang Tian will assist!”
…
At the Ye Family residence, Ye Hai, Wu Lan, Su Yuhan and the rest had already fallen asleep.
Ye Chen opened the door quietly, he looked at Su Yuhan and his daughter who were breathing evenly. He had a complicated expression, “Yuhan, please forgive me for going on a long journey again. I hope you can understand that everything I’m doing is for our family!”
Several seconds later, he turned around and left.
What he did not know was that the moment he closed the door, Su Yuhan, who was sleeping, opened her eyes slowly. A stream of clear tears flowed slowly and hit the pillow.
“You silly thing, go ahead and do your thing. I’ll take care of everything at home, as well as our second baby…”
She caressed her belly softly.
…
Two hours later, in a local guesthouse between Hui Province and Wujiangzhen, Luo Shuiyao paced around the room anxiously. She could not help but ask while looking at the time, “It’s been so long. Why isn’t Ye Chen here yet?”
Tong Shuhui frowned and said, “The ghost ship will return after midnight. There’s less than half an hour left until midnight. If he still doesn’t come, he’ll miss it!”
“I heard that Shang Santian is furious because Ye killed Duan Tianlang and the rest. They plan to take revenge on Ye. Could it be that he doesn’t dare to come?” Xiang Heng, who was standing at the side, could not help but sneer.
“Shut up!”
Xiang Nan berated him with a cold snort, and then he secretly exchanged glances with Luo Tianya, Tang Yiming and the rest.
It could be said that they had been extremely shocked over the past few days.
The reason being the Longevity Swordsman who had disappeared for a long time appeared. Not only did he kill the people from the Duan, Lin and the Du family who were sent to attack Ye Chen, he was even guarding Kunlun. The powerhouses of Shang Santian did not dare to enter the world.
With such a powerhouse protecting China, it would not be easy for Shang Santian to take revenge on Ye Chen.
Tang Yiming said in a low voice, “Yaoyao, call him again and rush him!”
Luo Shuiyao took out her phone and was about to make a call when a sound came from outside the courtyard. Subsequently, a thin figure slowly walked in.
Luo Shuiyao went up to him immediately, “Ye Chen, you’re finally here!”
“I’m sorry for being late!”
Ye Chen smiled lightly. He said suspiciously after scanning the crowd, “Where are the Xiao and Bai families?”
“They can’t even pee in the same pot as us,” Luo Tianya said, “However, they must’ve already gone to the Wu River by now. You are the only one we’re waiting for!”
“Let’s go!”
The group of them left the courtyard after packing up and headed straight to the Wu River. Along the way, Ye Chen asked, “When did the ghost ship appear?”
“Two hours ago!”
Luo Shuiyao explained, “It’s said that the first person to discover the ghost ship was a fisherman. However, that fisherman mysteriously disappeared.”
Ye Chen secretly frowned when he heard that.
‘Mysteriously disappeared?’
