888 The Weirdo in the Cage (2/2)
Dao Master Lin Xuan continued, ”There is still Daoist Cha.”
”Where is he?”
Dao Master Lin Xuan pressed his lips together. ”He stayed behind to destroy the path and said that he would catch up with us when we made it further out. He also said that if he didn't manage to catch up with us after two hours that we didn't have to wait for him.”
”When did this occur?”
”Six days ago.”
Dao Master Lin Xuan put on his Dao crown and continued blankly, ”He probably took a different route and missed me, I didn't continue to wait for him. Or perhaps, he has already reached the peach forest. He runs very fast.”
The group didn't inquire further.
They continued to move forward, and the people within the ship grew in numbers until it was almost full. Although the celestial heavens ship was enormous, it wasn't possible for it to contain every single one of the refugees.
Suddenly, the ship started slowing down. Human Emperor Qi Kang walked to the head of the ship and asked, ”What happened?”
Cult Master Yan Ji's hand trembled slightly as he pointed to the front. There, dozens of ships spanning several miles in length were stopped mid-air, and on the ships, there were thousands of gods from the celestial heavens who were currently taking breaks.
A god flew towards them and shouted out from afar, ”Who do you serve under?”
Everyone on the ship was instantly at a loss and didn't know what to do.
The god flew closer and shouted out again, ”Who is your chief general?”
”What should we do?”
Human Emperor Yi Shan croaked out in a hoarse voice, ”Shall we just fight it out?”
At this very moment, suddenly, the sound of a bugle horn resonated from the ships, and a golden armored god shouted out loudly, ”The tracks of the Son of Youdu have been found! White Deity has mobilized us to go and subdue him! Follow me!”
The god that was closing in on them hesitated for a moment before he immediately returned to one of the ships. The enormous ships broke through the air one after the other and left.
Everyone on the ship broke out in a cold sweat.
”Who is the Son of Youdu? Such a grand line-up and it actually required the celestial heavens' White Deity to mobilize the army of the celestial heavens to go forth and kill him?” Second Ancestor mumbled.
”It's Cult Master Qin.”
Dao Master Lin Xuan continued, ”When I was at Supreme Emperor Heaven, I heard people addressing him as Son of Youdu.”
The many Heavenly Devil Cult Masters laughed. ”As expected of the current generation cult master of our sacred cult, his reputation is truly impressive!”
The past generations of human emperors also broke out into laughter. ”What has this got to do with your Heavenly Devil Cult? He is clearly the current generation human emperor of our Hall of Human Emperors!”
They started to bicker again, and Dao Master Lin Xuan hurried them. ”The peach forest is just up ahead. Let's hurry up and go over.”
He mumbled to himself, ”Maybe Daoist Cha has already arrived at the peach forest and is waiting for me there.”
The group was a little perplexed. There seemed to be something off about the state of mind of this Dao Master.
Young patriarch stepped forward. Reaching out, he removed Dao Master Lin Xuan's Dao crown. A broken sword was stabbed into Lin Xuan's hair bun, and it pierced deeply into his brain.
Blood flowed out of the Dao crown again.
Young patriarch stopped the other cult masters, putting the Dao crown back onto Lin Xuan's head properly. ”Don't remove it. If you remove it, he will die. If it stays there, he can still be saved if we find someone skilled in the art of healing.”
The ship continued along towards the peach forest. The thousand miles of peach blossoms were very eye-catching. When they arrived at the now empty Dao Sect Academy, Lin Xuan went to search for Daoist Cha, but he didn't find him.
They let the people of the Great Ruins walk down from the ship and enter the peach forest.
The skies were dim at present. Suddenly, a light came from within the peach forest. The refugees followed the light and moved forwards, disappearing in the depths of the peach forest.
”Eternal Peace's Jade Face Poison King is skilled in the art of healing, I will take him to the Jade Face Poison King!”
Human Emperor Qi Kang carried Lin Xuan on his back and said, ”Everyone, take care!”
Everyone bowed. ”Take care!”
Human Emperor Qi Kang sprinted as though he was flying, frantically racing all the way and only reaching the Surging River after six to seven days. After he arrived, he stepped along the waves of the river to continue down it. In the skies, countless enormous ships flew by, and suddenly, a few of the ships stopped in mid-air.
Human Emperor Qi Kang hurriedly hid in a dark corner. He saw the ships lowering countless chains, and following it, an enormous cage was hung out from between the ships, the chains rattling about noisily.
”My name is Wei Suifeng, my name is Wei Suifeng!”
Within the cage, an imposing god had his body locked in place by chains, which penetrated his corporeal body, his primordial spirit, all of his divine treasures, and even his celestial palaces!
”Shut up!”
A formidable godly awe came from one of the ships, and a voice that was filled with an imposing aura said coldly, ”Wei Suifeng, you made contact with Celestial Venerable Ling before, and you even have possession of her hairpin. You have been holding on to the hairpin for so long, researching Celestial Venerable Ling's divine art. Your body and primordial spirit must have experienced some sort of change. Using you to trade for the ghost ship, there are no losses in this deal, right?”
Human Emperor Qi Kang hid in the darkness, and he watched as the figure within the cage shouted out, ”My name is Wei Suifeng!”
Human Emperor Qi Kang was taken aback. ”This fellow called Wei Suifeng, he seems to be yelling at me to tell me that his name is Wei Suifeng. What could this mean?”
At this very moment, he saw that beneath the Surging River under his feet, there was an enormous ship sailing by slowly.
”My name is Wei Suifeng!” the mad man in the cage shouted at him.
