After successfully rescuing the person and returning them to the raft, Shen Jue finally felt relieved.
Shen Jue and the others stood on the raft, recovering their strength.
As the palace collapsed, it sank completely into the sea.
The surrounding seawater began to surge, with huge waves crashing against the raft.
Shen Jue: "This palace is unguarded, with only an unidentified beast. I have a feeling that we are not safe enough yet and we need to leave this sea area as soon as possible."
After taking the recovery potion Chen Jue gave her, Mu Xingran's breathing became much more stable. "Little sister is right, we do need to hurry."
"The palace where Sasa and I are trapped is a sacred temple worshipped by all the ghosts. They wanted to sacrifice us, but I saw through their plan. I used some methods, and they couldn't do anything to us, so they trapped us in the temple's sacrificial space. Inside the sacrificial space, we gradually forget time, our memories become blurred, and eventually we will be completely swallowed up by the sacrificial space. If you had come a few days later, you might not have seen Sasa and me again."
"If we don't leave now, once the Ghost Clan discovers that we destroyed their temple, our fate won't be any better than before."
The fact that Mu Xingran revealed so much information at once sent a chill down the spines of those present.
Shen Jue stared intently at the sea, her raft no longer moving!
They were trapped in place by some force.
"Sister Xingran, it's too late. We can't leave now." Shen Jue's voice revealed a hint of helplessness, but there was nothing they could do about being trapped here.
I'd heard so much about how powerful the Oni people were, and now it was time for a real confrontation.
Just then, a thin mist suddenly rose from the sea, and some figures could be vaguely seen in the mist.
The figures of the ghost clan members appeared and disappeared in the mist. Their steps were steady and swift, clearly indicating that they were coming for Shen Jue and his group.
“They’ve already discovered our whereabouts. They might have trapped us there to lure you out.”
"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!" Several claps rang out from the misty shadows.
"As expected of Old Master Xuan's last disciple, he reacted so quickly."
"If you don't listen, even if you realize what's happening, you won't escape death today."
As the voice came, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged from the mist, his face hidden beneath a cloak, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes.
The person moved with a light step, and Shen Jue noticed that the person's steps were synchronized with the waves, each step carrying a strange rhythm.
The man's voice was deep and hoarse, with a slight lisp.
"Do you think you can destroy our temple and leave unscathed?"
"So, this is why you've trapped us?" Shen Jue asked calmly.
"That's right, to punish you, we will imprison you in the Eternal Sea and slowly torture you," the man said with a sinister laugh.
“Since you know the temple has been destroyed, you should understand our strength. It won’t be so easy for you to capture us,” Shen Jue replied calmly.
"Oh? Is that so? Then let me see what you're really capable of." After saying that, the man suddenly raised his hand and snapped his fingers crisply.
As the snap of the fingers rang out, the surrounding fog suddenly thickened, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding environment became hazy, with only the distant waves vaguely visible.
Shen Jue was shocked. The opponent's ability to control the mist was simply impossible to defend against.
"So, are you satisfied with this environment?" the man sneered.
Shen Jue did not answer; she stared intently at her surroundings, searching for a possible breakthrough.
"No need to look anymore. There's nothing you can do here." The man seemed to have seen through Shen Jue's thoughts and said with a cold laugh.
"You'd better give up resisting, or I'll show you what it means to wish you were dead."
"Since you're so confident, then give it a try."
The man sneered and suddenly waved his hand. The surrounding mist instantly churned and transformed into countless tentacles, sweeping towards Shen Jue and the others.
Shen Jue immediately used his movement technique to dodge.
However, the tentacles formed from the mist were able to pass through the raft's barrier and attack the people on the raft in real time.
After all, fog is visible but intangible, so it's not a tangible attack.
Such attacks come wave after wave, and there's no way to avoid them.
While dodging the tentacles' attacks, Shen Jue pondered a countermeasure.
Shen Jue's heart stirred, and a bold idea suddenly came to her.
She suddenly stopped dodging and let a tentacle wrap around her body.
At the same time, she secretly used her internal energy to prepare for an attack.
The tentacles tightly wrapped around Shen Jue, pulling her into the depths of the mist.
Seeing that Shen Jue was entangled, the man sneered and was about to continue his attack when he suddenly realized that the mist was out of his control.
But the fog was launching a counterattack, and Gui Wu was startled, so he immediately launched a counterattack.
Shen Jue unleashed her combined internal energy, instantly shattering the tentacles that were binding her, and at the same time rushed towards the location of that person.
The man was surprised that Shen Jue was able to break free from the tentacles' restraints. He tried to dodge, but it was too late.
Shen Jue rushed in front of the man in an instant and swung his knife. Gui Wu hurriedly blocked it. If he hadn't blocked it, the knife would have pierced through his chest instead of his hand.
Shen Jue tried to press down, but couldn't.
Upon closer inspection, a faint golden light was visible on the other person's hands.
The golden light attached to the opponent's hands should be a protective ability.
Seeing this, Gui Wu sneered, "I didn't expect you could force me to use my golden body. This is interesting."
After saying that, Gui Wu waved his hand and used his unique ability to engage in a fierce battle with Shen Jue.
