The Demon God Emperor
Ch. 324 - Rescuing Wu Shi
GURG!
The ship rang the bell sound like the horn of a vehicle as if urging the cultivators outside the ship to immediately board the ship.
Wu Shi then stored the space given by Qing Shan. He looked at Qing Shan one last time with a smile and said, "I believe you."
Then, he turned around and flew over the ship.
After a few more steps, the ship was crowded with passengers, then sank into the deep sea, like a submarine.
Qing Shan foolishly stared at the shadow of the ship that disappeared into the deep blue of the sea below. Jin Zhu who was standing beside him seemed to understand his feelings and tried to comfort him.
“Uhuk. Uhuk. Uhuk.. You don't have to worry. The ships were hidden by special formations made using spiritual ores from the Seabed Stone. They are very good at protecting ships from being discovered by the spirit senses of other creatures in the sea. Moreover, not a single trace of passenger qi would be revealed. If no one were to drip blood, his trip to Bi Yao Island would be safe. Mm. You can visit him again when you reach a higher cultivation realm in the future. Isn't that a great thing?”
“I thank you for your suggestion, Fellow Jin. Is correct. If he is safe and well-bail only to get to his destination, then I can calm my mind on our journey this time.”
The eighth and ninth ships appeared from within the sea not long after. Then followed by the tenth ship that appeared later was a ship that traveled directly to their destination, Peng Island.
Qing Shan and Jin Zhu then immediately paid their fees and boarded the ship. The ship then sank into the sea once more after ringing the bell several times, just like the ship Wu shi had boarded before.
Deep in the sea, the ship was moving like a water arrow and was extremely fast. Its speed was almost a hundred times that of Qing Shan's spirit ship flying through the air. With such speed, they might travel across thirty-seven million meters and reach Peng Island in an unspecified amount of time.
Qing Shan had not spoken a word since he boarded the ship. He just stood at the bow of the ship and looked at the sea creatures under the protective Formation. He felt that there was something lacking in his journey this time with Jin Zhu.
Now, without the familiar flute music that always inclines the devil of his heart. It's a little hard to get used to.
Fortunately, Qing Shan and Wu Shi's ships traveled the same path for the first half of the journey.
He directed his eyes forward and he saw another water arrow hurtling at the same speed as his ship. The bodies of their ships could not be seen with the naked eye because the Protective Formation was arguably invisible. Qing Shan could not see the ship that Wu Shi was riding on nor could Wu shi see the ship that he was boarding.
But, Qing Shan could faintly sense that Wu Shi was standing behind the ship, staring at him as well.
In this vast sea, cultivators seemed to be very insignificant when compared to the life within the sea. Occasionally, some beasts that were even larger than the mountain would swim beside the ship. The aura emitted by the beast was equivalent to a Realm realm cultivator. Each passenger will be agape in fear in front of the sea animals outside the ship. However, Qing Shan was not bothered by what he had seen. As for those giant beasts, they did not attack the ship because they could not even sense the existence of the ship because of the Protective Formation which made the ship not look like a ghost.
In the third month, the two ships entered the sea area that had coral and finally separated.
Each of the ships headed to their own destination. Everything went very well.
Three days later, the entire ship was in a state of panic.
Qing Shan who was still standing at the bow of the ship frowned because of a bad premonition.
"Record Jin, what's going on?"
"I don't know. I heard that there was another ship that sent a distress signal to our ship asking for help.”
“Which ship?!” Qing Shan's originally displeased eyes opened wide in anxiety.
"You can assure you that it wasn't Wu's ship that Wu Shi was aboard."
“All fellow cultivators, something bad happened! From the message sent by the sixth ship, human sharks have attacked their ships! It was not because they sensed the blood qi from the ship but there was a Soul Realm demon cultivator who manipulated that human shark using a special technique from inside the ship!"
As the sound faded in the air, the entire ship became in an uproar.
"What?! There are Soul Realm cultivators manipulating human sharks to attack ships?!”
“What are their intentions? Why did they attack that ship?”
“Shark man has no spiritual intelligence. It was impossible to raise them like ordinary demonic beasts. Who are those who have the ability to control them?”
The atmosphere became tense as they worried whether their ship would be the next target. But, Qing Shan let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, it wasn't the seventh ship Wu shi was aboard.
The location of the sixth ship was currently far from the seventh and tenth ships as the two ships were taking different routes. If Qing Shan's ship wanted to send help, it might not be on time. Moreover, there was no reason for them to do so since the passengers of the sixth ship were all strangers whom he did not know.
"Hmmm! We've paid to board this ship. It was not our ship that was attacked. Why should we risk our lives?”
None of these experts were friends. The possibility to work together will have a presentation of zero.
After receiving a response of disapproval from the cultivators aboard the Qing Shan ship, the ship's helmsman was relieved. In reality, he also had no intention of sending any help to the sixth ship.
Qing Shan still closed his eyes and his expression remained emotionless. He did not care about the situation of the sixth ship as it had nothing to do with him.
However, his eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Another message was heard from the ship's crew.
"No... The sixth ship was obliterated by thousands of human sharks and none of them survived..At present, you also received a distress signal from the seventh ship!”.
Everyone's faces turned pale.
A human shark alone was enough to kill a Gold Realm expert. Nearly ten thousand human sharks appeared there. It's really not uncommon for many human sharks to be manipulated just like that.
“Our safety takes precedence. We can't save the seventh ship!”
"If you dare to change routes, I will kill you right here and right now!"
“No, you can't kill him! If a human shark smells blood, our ship will be attacked!”
The ship is in a storm right now. This time, Qing Shan could no longer remain calm.
"Wu Shi is on the seventh ship!
“Mechan Qing Shan. What do we do now?" Jin Zhu's face turned dark. "If the seventh ship were to be attacked by that human shark, Wu Shi would be in grave danger. Moreover, the human shark was controlled by the Soul Realm demon cultivators. It was impossible for him to survive. Furthermore, the distance between the seventh ship and their ship was around 300 thousand meters. There's no way we can be in time to save her.!" This time, Jin Zhu called out Qing Shan's real name as his mind became muddled at the thought of Wu shi's safety.
