Chapter 674
The old man laughed wildly, took out a small teleportation talisman, and then looked at the group of rogue cultivators on the deck with a sneer.
"Hmph, you people, without a teleportation talisman, you can only obediently wait to die."
This scene was witnessed by everyone, and the young masters and ladies of those major tribes merely smiled contemptuously and remained silent.
"Hahaha, interesting, really interesting, this is going to be a good show." The white-haired, youthful-looking old man holding a jade gourd tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, laughing as he spoke.
"Go!" The old man with long, flowing hair crushed the small teleportation talisman instantly. A surge of energy rose up and enveloped the talisman. Then, the man vanished without a trace.
"Master, why did that old man say there's a good show to watch?" Bai Li raised her little head and asked Chen Xuan.
"Hmph." Chen Xuan shook his head slightly. "This person is obviously crossing the Dead Sea for the first time and knows very little about it. The Dead Sea is tens of thousands of miles in circumference. We have been sailing on the sea for nearly three days, and the distance between us and the coastlines ahead and behind us is already more than ten thousand miles."
Upon hearing this, Bai Li was shocked. "Ah? So, if he uses the Minor Teleportation Talisman, wouldn't he fall directly into the Dead Sea?"
Chen Xuan nodded slightly.
Just as everyone was mocking them, a series of loud, rapid impacts came clearly from the bottom of the ship.
"Oh no! The ship has stopped! Everyone, we're in big trouble!"
The sound was completely inaudible when the shipwreck was moving, but now it was so clear. The moonlight was obscured by dark clouds, the surroundings were pitch black, there were no landmarks, and the rocking waves made it impossible to determine whether the Dead Sea ship was moving or had stopped.
As the sound of the ship's hull colliding became clear, everyone awoke as if from a dream, their faces turning deathly pale.
"Waaah, I should have known better than to become an apprentice. Now look what's happened, we're about to become corpses in the Dead Sea before we even reach Qingtian County."
"I'm not reconciled! I haven't yet made a name for myself in this land, and I haven't yet achieved my heart's desire!"
"No, no, I don't want to die! Father, please save me!"
……
As the Dead Sea shipwreck came to a complete stop, the intense crashing sounds caused many cultivators with wavering resolve to break down.
"Oh no! The ship is sinking! It's leaking!"
Snap, crack—
As someone shouted, the once-flat deck began to tilt.
Just as that person said, the ship ultimately couldn't withstand the attack of tens of thousands of corpses.
The shadow of death slowly approaches, yet there is no escape. This feeling of slowly waiting for death is simply too agonizing.
So, some people couldn't hold back any longer and decided to take a gamble.
"Damn it, rather than sitting here waiting to die, we might as well fight back!" A cultivator at the Myriad Manifestations Realm suddenly stood up, his aura exploding instantly.
With a wave of his hand, a crimson flying sword appeared out of thin air and quickly grew larger.
The man leaped onto the flying sword, then flipped his hand and took out various protective treasures, including a Taoist talisman with an extraordinary aura and an exquisite boat.
"go!"
call--
To everyone's astonishment, this expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm actually piloted a flying sword and, carrying numerous protective treasures, flew away from the deck of the Dead Sea sunken wooden ship.
"Hahaha--"
"You can't cross the Dead Sea by air? Bah!"
The expert at the Myriad Manifestations Realm fled far away on his sword without any incident, and laughed loudly.
This scene caught everyone's attention, and even the originally cautious cultivators couldn't contain themselves any longer.
However, just as the laughter subsided, a melodious song echoed across the surrounding sea.
"Ah, no, don't!" The cultivator at the Myriad Manifestations Realm had just flown off the deck when he was instantly locked in by a suction force. An irresistible force caused him to plunge directly into the endless Dead Sea without making a ripple.
"A dream of cultivating immortality for ten thousand years can be shattered by a single fall into the sea. If there is a next life to be a cultivator, do not tread this path and become a mortal..."
It was a woman's voice, beautiful and melodious, like heavenly music. At the same time, as the song began, an endless surge of hatred, anger, and resentment instantly welled up in everyone's hearts.
In an instant, countless cultivators on the sunken ship's deck were plunged into confusion. Some cultivators with weak Dao hearts even showed expressions of despair and relief, and actually climbed over the deck railings and jumped into the endless black dead sea.
Falling into the Dead Sea, these people were instantly submerged by the endless corpses floating in the water. Even after being completely devoured by the corpses, their faces still bore a sense of relief and tranquility.
Chen Xuan was naturally also affected by the demonic sound, but his soul and consciousness were comparable to those of the Yuan Shen Dao Ren, and he broke free from this mental control in just a breath.
"Master, Bai Li will accompany you to liberation." Although Chen Xuan instantly broke free from the control of the demonic sound, Bai Li on his wrist had a dazed look in her eyes, filled with a mixture of emotions.
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Chen Xuan's wrist and walk towards the deck railing, intending to jump into the Dead Sea with the other rogue cultivators.
With lightning speed, Chen Xuan grabbed Bai Li, who was about to jump into the sea. Then, he chanted the Mind-Clearing Mantra, pointed a finger at Bai Li's brow, and shouted, "Break!"
Meanwhile, people on various parts of the deck broke free from the demonic sound's control thanks to their unwavering resolve. Unlike Chen Xuan, they didn't have it as easy. When they woke up, they found themselves at the edge of the deck, one foot on the railing. They were all terrified, their faces pale, and they hurriedly pulled their feet back.
"It's the illusionary voice!" The white-haired, youthful-looking old man who had previously recounted the origins of the Dead Sea was startled awake and retreated repeatedly, eventually reaching the center of the deck, shouting in terror.
“In ancient times, there was a demonic sect called the Illusion Demon Palace. Legend has it that a witch who mastered the Illusion Demon Heart Sutra was besieged by many holy sons and daughters of holy lands and chiefs of great sects in order to compete for the creation of the Blood Sea. In the end, she was defeated and fell into this Dead Sea.”
The old man said in great fear, “Legend has it that every few hundred years, strange things happen in the Dead Sea. Many of the first generation of demons, holy sons and holy daughters who died in ancient times will lead the endless corpses in the Dead Sea to besiege the sunken ships.”
As soon as the old man said this, a chorus of curses erupted from the surrounding crowd.
"Damn it, you old fool! You knew such a secret, why didn't you say so when you boarded the ship?!"
"Old man, you're clearly trying to harm people!"
"Sir, given the current situation, how should we proceed?"
Some people angrily criticized the old man for not reporting the truth, while others had a sudden inspiration and sincerely asked for advice on how to resolve the issue.
Just as everyone was looking at the old man, someone pointed in terror at a spot in the Endless Dead Sea and shouted, "Look, a female corpse is floating over there!"
"Her eyes were open, she was naked, and her mouth was moving; the demonic sound was coming from her!"
Everyone heard the shout, and many people rushed over to check.
"Is she a corpse, or a living person? Why, why does she seem to possess intelligence?"
Chen Xuan formed a sword finger with his right hand and instantly activated his divine sense.
Under divine sense, everything is illusory, and even the smallest detail is revealed. When Chen Xuan saw the floating female corpse, he was also shocked, "What?"
