“It seems this Eerie Mist is indeed a passage connecting to another world, not a monster that devours Cultivators,” Han Ye said.
“However, the losses for those three this time are probably significant; they might never reach the Tianyuan Realm again, which is good news,” Qin Xuan said with a bitter smile.
What kind of good news was this?
At this moment, he could only brace himself and continue forward, hoping that the skeleton ship wouldn't affect him.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Qin Xuan had already flown above the skeleton ship.
Looking down at the skeleton ship, Qin Xuan felt a shiver down his spine.
The entire skeleton ship was filled with various skeletons, grotesque and terrifying.
Yet, the skeleton ship emanated a faint, white Holy Light, as if it were incredibly sacred.
This strange distortion and contrast instinctively filled him with a hint of fear.
There must be something horrifying on this ship.
Not daring to linger, Qin Xuan wanted to accelerate forward.
But when he looked back, he was instantly terrified.
Because of the three people's accelerated escape just now, the Eerie Mist's speed had increased significantly, and at this point, Qin Xuan's speed could no longer be increased.
Qin Xuan shook his head, feeling helpless.
“This is truly dreadful; what should I do next?”
Looking at the approaching black mist, he felt his hands and feet turn cold.
“Forget it, I’ll take out the Refining God Cauldron.
With the Refining God Cauldron, I don't believe this black mist can harm it.”
At worst, he would enter the Taihuang Space!
Although he really didn't want to use the Refining God Cauldron in such a place, it was too late now.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan was about to take out the Refining God Cauldron and enter it.
Wait.
Just then, Han Ye suddenly reminded Qin Xuan.
“Be careful; don’t think that just because there’s black mist here, there aren't many powerful beings secretly observing.
If you take out the Refining God Cauldron, you might not be able to keep it in the future.
Also, don't forget this woman; she has too many secrets.
She might have a way to know about your Refining God Cauldron.”
Han Ye transmitted his voice to Qin Xuan.
“Then what should I do?”
Qin Xuan gritted his teeth, staring intently at the skeleton ship below.
Now, with the skeleton ship on one side and the black mist on the other, it was clearly a dead end.
“There must be a way!” Han Ye said firmly.
A way? What way could there be?
Qin Xuan smiled bitterly, truly not knowing what to do.
A moment later, Han Ye suddenly spoke, asking Qin Xuan, “Qin Xuan, do you think the skeleton ship can survive in this Eerie Mist?”
Qin Xuan was startled and shook his head slightly.
From earlier, he had seen that the Eerie Mist devoured everything, clearly more dangerous than the skeleton ship.
“No!”
Just then, Qin Xuan suddenly realized something.
“In my opinion, this skeleton ship will definitely be safe in the Eerie Mist,” Qin Xuan explained.
“If this skeleton ship couldn't survive in the black mist, then after so many years, it should have been swallowed by the Eerie Mist long ago.”
“But since this skeleton ship has always existed, the only explanation is that the black mist simply cannot do anything to the skeleton ship.”
Qin Xuan was a little excited.
Boarding the skeleton ship would mean safety.
But then, his face darkened.
No, boarding the skeleton ship was also a dead end.
“Perhaps the skeleton ship is a way out!” Han Ye suddenly said.
“I sensed a trace of Taihuang Aura on this skeleton ship.
Go near the skeleton ship and see; perhaps there's a way to survive on it.”
Hearing Han Ye’s words, Qin Xuan’s eyes lit up.
That’s right, Taihuang Aura!
He had been too busy escaping earlier and hadn't noticed.
Now he could sense that there was indeed a trace of Taihuang Aura on the skeleton ship.
He immediately drew out a wisp of Taihuang Aura from the Taihuang Space, letting it protect him.
Then, taking a deep breath, Qin Xuan approached the skeleton ship.
The closer Qin Xuan got to the skeleton ship, the stronger he could sense the Taihuang Aura on the ship.
Not only that, he also felt a strange, inexplicable pull.
For a moment, Qin Xuan felt a little dazed.
“Why are you only just getting here?”
Just then, a somewhat angry voice came from the ship.
Qin Xuan focused his gaze and instantly trembled all over.
He saw Xuanji Empress standing at the bow of the ship, looking coldly at Qin Xuan.
“You, you came out of the Heavenly Curtain?
It was supposed to be a year, this… a year hasn't passed yet… I haven't reached the Yuqing Realm!”
Qin Xuan felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
When he left, Xuanji Empress had told him she would only see him after a year.
Had she come out early?
Qin Xuan was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do next.
Would it be like before again?
Qin Xuan felt some resistance, but inexplicably, a hint of joy arose in his heart.
He lowered his head and glanced at Qian Qian in his arms, feeling as if he was holding a hot potato, almost throwing her away.
“Who is this woman?” Xuanji Empress asked coldly.
Sweat immediately poured out.
However, Xuanji Empress quickly looked at Qin Xuan with a playful smile.
“Why are you still standing there?
Come over quickly.”
Xuanji Empress looked at Qin Xuan reproachfully, then waved her hand towards him.
Qin Xuan nodded and hurriedly flew towards her.
Just as he was about to board the skeleton ship, a Taihuang Aura blocked his way, preventing him from boarding.
“Qin Xuan, wake up quickly.”
Suddenly, Han Ye’s voice, like a thunderclap, rang in his mind, startling Qin Xuan, who had been lost in confusion, awake.
Qin Xuan’s Divine Soul was powerful after all, and the moment he was startled awake, he instantly regained his senses.
This, what is this?
Qin Xuan looked towards the bow of the ship.
A moment later, he felt cold sweat pouring down his back.
Standing at the bow of the ship was not Xuanji Empress at all, but a grotesque skeleton.
The skeleton was draped in a tattered human skin, and the dried blood looked especially terrifying.
From the skeleton’s eye sockets, clusters of emerald green flames flickered, making it look exceptionally hideous.
At this moment, the skeleton was constantly beckoning to Qin Xuan, making various enticing gestures.
Damn it, he almost fell for it!
Cold sweat soaked his clothes, and in an instant, Qin Xuan glared furiously at the skeleton.
Damn it!
The skeleton on this ship actually understood illusions.
After Qin Xuan got close, it used an illusion to create the image of Xuanji Empress, making him believe it was real, and he almost fell for the skeleton's trick.
“You're courting death!”
Qin Xuan roared, and the Taihuang Aura in his hand condensed into a sword, instantly shooting out.
“Crack.”
Although this skeleton’s illusion was astonishing, its combat power was actually negligible.
The moment it was struck by the Taihuang Aura, it split into several pieces.
Qin Xuan was furious, continuously manipulating the Taihuang Aura to attack the skeleton.
Crack, crack!
With a series of sounds, dozens of skeletons on the skeleton ship stood up and walked towards Qin Xuan.
“Courting death!”
The Taihuang Aura in Qin Xuan’s hand, like a long sword, quickly slashed out, knocking down all these skeletons.
Seeing this, Qin Xuan let out a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
It seemed that while the skeletons on this ship were cunning, they were helpless against the Taihuang Aura.
In other words, as long as he controlled the Taihuang Aura, this skeleton ship couldn't do anything to him.
“Qin Xuan, quickly get on the skeleton ship, or it will be troublesome.”
Han Ye urgently urged Qin Xuan, who looked around.
At this moment, the black mist had already circled around the skeleton ship and was continuously closing in on him.
He couldn't wait any longer!
