Jiang Xiapeng and co. also discovered that Meng Zhi had disappeared, and Jiang Xiapeng grabbed a long spear, swinging it straight down at the rice jar.

”Bang!” A crisp sound rang through the ship, and the stench of blood instantly spread throughout the whole kitchen, leaving dark brown blood stains everywhere.

”Let’s leave quickly, this ship is weird…” The black faced man exclaimed, before turning around and charging out. The remaining three people also followed suit, and in the blink of an eye, all four of them were on the outer deck once again.

”Amitabha, Old Na will make a move first.” The laughing monk jumped straight into the ocean as soon as he reached the outer deck.

”Whoosh!” In the air, the laughing monk seemed to have been blocked by an invisible force, and he fell down from the air.

A trap array? The few remaining people stared at each other, and no one attempted such an act again. This sort of invisible trap array was not something they could deal with.

”It seems like something happened to Brother Meng.” Pu Qian, the black faced man, sighed. If he knew that this ship was so unusual, he would have rather remained in the ocean than to board it.

Jiang Xiapeng bowed respectfully to Mo Wuji, ”Brother Mo was the first to discover something wrong with this place, so may I ask what are your plans?”

After inspecting the dead silent ship, and taking in a few deep breaths, Mo Wuji replied, ”I think everyone should still wait a little longer. Since this ship brought us here by itself, it must have its goals. Moreover, we are now in the middle of the ocean, so the situation off the ship doesn’t seem much better than the one on it. I suggest for everyone to not wander off on their own, and we’ll continue this discussion after finding somewhere to sit down on the outer deck.”

There was another point that Mo Wuji withheld, which was that the ship did not restrict their ability to move, even though Meng Zhi died when he was alone. As such, the ship obviously had a limited ability to hide things, and could not deal with the nine of them at the same time.

Of course, the most important thing was that he needed time to study the trap array on the ship. Only after destroying the trap array, would they have a chance to act.

”I second Brother Mo’s intentions.” Gouzi was the first to respond.

Although the remaining people thought that what Mo Wuji said was simply wasting time, but that was the best they could do. Since they could not break the trap array of the ship, or rather, even if they managed to do so, they would still fall into the sea, it would better to just wait on the ship to see what would happen.

All of them formed a circle and sat down, each thinking of their own ideas while waiting for the thunderstorm to subside.

However, Mo Wuji simply just took out his notes of Chu Xingzi’s array dao, and began researching on trap arrays.

For trap arrays, he had encountered one before, but it was a elementary grade trap array, while the one on the ship was probably an intermediate grade trap array. With this foundation, in a short span of two days, Mo Wuji had already discovered the dispel point of the ship’s trap array. As expected, the trap array on the ship was an intermediate grade trap array.

”Brother Mo…” Qi Wenxuan’s voice travelled to Mo Wuji’s ears.

Immediately, Mo Wuji kept Chu Xingzi’s introduction to arrays, and discovered that everyone else was standing up, even taking out their own treasures.

”Brother Mo, we just passed by a large island, which was a location marked on our sea maps. If we want to escape, this is a good opportunity. Why don’t we join forces to attack this trap array?” Seeing that Mo Wuji no longer studied his notes, Jiang Xiapeng spoke first.

Mo Wuji looked ordinary, and did not seem to have any spirituality, yet he gave the feeling that he was deep beyond measure.

”Sure, but this trap array is at least an intermediate grade trap array. So if everyone wants to break apart this trap array, you'd better listen to me.” With a nod, Mo Wuji stood up as well.

”Brother Mo, you understand array dao?” Jiang Xiapeng exclaimed.

Not only Jiang Xiapeng, but the rest of the people stared at Mo Wuji, pleasantly surprised.

While there were many people from various sects here, and even with most of them at Transcending Mortality Stage, there weren’t many who were proficient with array dao.

Even for a big sect, something like array dao might not necessarily be passed down through the generations, because it was simply too valuable. As for rogue cultivators, it depended on luck and chance for one to become proficient in array dao. Because of this, array masters were very rare.

Chuckling, Mo Wuji replied, ‘I don’t really know much about array dao. This ship likely has a strong concealment array, but I’m unable to see what it’s hiding. There’s one thing that I’m sure of though, which is that we can’t stay on this ship for much longer, otherwise there’ll be a second person that goes missing…”

This was not completely based off his speculation, as there were only two possibilities for why the ship intentionally left them here and only acted on Meng Zhi on one occasion. First, the ship might not be a match for their combined strength, and second, the ship might require fresh blood to survive, so they were kept alive as livestock. Moreover, all their cultivation levels were similar, so they could have been kept on board for the ship to slowly savour.

Of course, there was the chance that both these possibilities were playing out at the same time.

”Master Mo, Old Na has decided to secularise, and become your mantle disciple to spread and glorify your skills…” The laughing monk said sincerely, and with determination.

But Mo Wuji did not bother with this joker, and said immediately, ”I will use blades to point out some spots. Everyone please attack those spots at the same time.”
