Chapter 214: The Mysterious Ship

”Boom! Crackle!” A bolt of lightning struck down, and the sound of wooden floorboards being torn apart by the lightning rang out.

Almost at the same instant, eight men rushed out from the cabin. Only Mo Wuji and the young girl did not move. While the girl did not walk anywhere, she stood up, an indication that her cultivation wasn’t very high.

The reason that Mo Wuji did not move was because he had already swept the exterior with his spiritual will, and confirmed that the lightning broke the deck of the ship. However, only a small crack formed, which would not cause the ship to sink immediately. It would be able to hold out for a little longer. In his heart, Mo Wuji couldn’t help but sigh. Encountering a ship was such a rare occurrence, but it seemed as though he could not stay on this ship for much longer.

Seeing that Mo Wuji remained stationary, the girl hesitated for a moment before sitting down once again. Even though she had lowered her head quickly after sneaking a peek at Mo Wuji, none of her actions escaped his observation. The young girl’s face had many bumps and craters on it, which did not seem like the result of disfigurement, so she probably was born this way.

The eight men that ran out returned as quickly as they left. They had analysed the situation outside, and although the deck had cracked open, the ship would be able to hold on for now.

Through their actions so far, Mo Wuji could feel the strength that they possessed. The monk and blacked faced man were at least above Transcending Mortality Stage Level 6, and the two men and one woman who were drinking were all in Transcending Mortality Stage too. As for the couple sitting by the door, the man should have just advanced into Transcending Mortality Stage, while the woman was likely still in Spirit Building Stage.

The only person that Mo Wuji could not evaluate was the elder that with the young girl. His cultivation level was a little unusual.

”Brother, why didn’t you go out to take a look just now?” As Mo Wuji did not make a move since he came in, and did not even go out to check on the ship even after the near capsize situation, the woman sitting by the door asked cautiously.

”Yanyan…” When her husband heard that she questioned Mo Wuji, a stranger, in such a manner, he softly called out to her, and tugged at her hand.

Mo Wuji did not really put this matter at heart, as he had a rather good impression of this woman. While this woman had said that the few mortal sailors were not worth saving, her recent question reflected that she was a kind person deep down. On the other hand, the man was a little too uptight and cautious, seemingly a little cowardly too.

Who knew what were a couple doing out here either? The sea was lacking in spiritual energy, and definitely would not have anything good in it.

”My friend, I’m very sorry, my wife doesn’t know how things are run around here.” The man apologised to Mo Wuji.

With a smile, Mo Wuji replied, ”It’s nothing much. I’m just quite slow, so by the time I was ready to go up, all of you had came back in already.”

”Ha ha! Your words make it seem as though as we all fear death. But you’re right, regardless whether we go out to take a look or not, the ship will have to roll when it has to roll. So there’s no use in seeing what’s going on outside.” The black faced man laughed as he agreed with what Mo Wuji said.

However, Mo Wuji’s spiritual will had detected that the waves had broken a hole in the hull of the ship, which meant that it would only last another few minutes in the water.

The rather impatient Mo Wuji stood up, pat his hands and said, ”I just heard the sound of something hitting the ship. I’ll go take a look.” Before this, when everyone went out while Mo Wuji didn’t, the ship was still in decent shape, but now that even Mo Wuji had stood up to go take a look, the rest of the passengers began to suspect if something big had happened.

The girl named Yanyan stood up too, ”Brother Xuan, let’s go take a look too.”

Although the man was wary, but he dared not take his chances for such a thing. Once the woman spoke, he immediately shot up, and walked to the outer deck with her.

When both of them saw that the hull had cracked open and seawater was slowly seeping in, they were stunned momentarily. Regardless cultivator or mortal, in the endless ocean, as long as one could not navigate their way through, one would die sooner or later.

”Brother Xuan, what do we do now?” Yanyan’s face turned extremely pale.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard from behind, as the rest of the passengers in the cabin came out. Their expressions completely changed once they saw that the ship was about to sink into the ocean.

”Everyone look, there’s a ship approaching…” A shout of surprise made everyone excited.

The first one to spot the ship was the woman who was part of the trio drinking alcohol in the cabin, and she pointed in the distance energetically.

”There’s really a ship…” Everyone present was able to clearly see the silhouette of a ship sailing towards them.

Mo Wuji also saw the ship, which was over 10 times larger than the one they were on. It was practically a giant.

The ship was at least hundreds of meters long, and almost a hundred meters wide. Even though there was still a significant distance between them and the other ship, Mo Wuji could still clearly see the spacious and clean deck. There were no rubbish or cracks. Only traces of rainwater were on it. But what puzzled Mo Wuji was that he did not see a single person on the ship either.

In the raging storm, both ships slowly approached one another.
