Can't you just let me go?
The sky was clear and hazy, and the waves hit the shore again and again, making a vigorous and powerful sound. Each sound gently woke up everyone on the ghost ship.
Amidst the sounds of joyful cheers and running, Jiang Jingyuan regained consciousness and slowly opened his eyes.
She and Hua Simiao beside her stood up by the side of the boat and looked up.
The ghost ship was dragging white lines of waves and had not yet reached the shore, but the familiar tall and heavy altar on the shore had already appeared in the field of vision.
Everyone on the dilapidated gray and black ship wiped their tears and laughed and made a noise on the deck.
"The fairy mountain has disappeared, and I don't know if anyone has found the treasure..."
In the distance, a voice with obvious complaints sounded from the other end of the ghost ship. The voice was deliberately lowered, but it could not escape the ears of everyone present.
The expressions on the faces of the people who were laughing and hugging each other suddenly froze, and then they continued to laugh heartily, but they kept a distance from the people in front of them without making any sound.
Then, another female voice sounded from a distance: "That's inevitable. Why didn't the fairy mountain disappear before, but only this time? Someone must have taken the fairy mountain's valuables..."
The expressions on everyone's faces changed uncontrollably several times. They forced themselves to smile and separated at the same time, looking at the sea from the side of the ship.
Yes, there was no problem in the previous seven or eight trips to the sea, so why did the fairy mountain disappear this time?
It turns out that someone got a valuable treasure from the fairy mountain... What is it?
A panacea?
No, no, no, it must be more than that. The treasure that can make the fairy mountain disappear must be the most core secret of the fairy mountain.
This is really scary. So many great people in the past didn't get this valuable thing, but this time someone took it away? Could it be that some powerful person sneaked in among them this time?
Impossible... Everyone looked up at the sky, feeling confused and surprised.
"But no matter what, it's always better to be careful," they thought. "Luckily, we'll reach the shore soon."
No matter how much they envy the people who can get the core secrets of the fairy mountain, they dare not rush forward... Alas, it's fate, they have been prepared.
The ghost ship approached the shore, and the people on board began to prepare with little interest, sighing in their hearts.
Suddenly, a fishy and rotten wind blew past behind them. Everyone blinked in shock, and a familiar and strong sense of foreboding arose in their hearts. They turned their heads to look.
From the dilapidated gray-black high-rise building that no one wanted to step into, a figure staggered but ran out at a very fast speed, heading straight towards the side of the ship, as if wanting to jump off the ghost ship.
Their minds were blank and at a loss. Everyone was stunned. Then the next moment, a sharp and shrill cry suddenly erupted from the ghost ship.
“Stop it!!!”
"Don't let it get off the boat!!"
No one dared to approach. Everyone on the boat looked grim and retreated step by step.
Talismans with black patterns on a yellow background and pills of various colors were all thrown towards the fleeing figure.
“Bang, bang, bang!!”
The yellow-brown pus exploded and splashed onto the deck. The bird feathers stained with pus were instantly swallowed up by the white smoke, turning into undetectable powder and dissipating with the wind.
Amidst a sharp scream, the figure fell heavily to the ground, then struggled to stand up, twisting its body and rushing towards the side of the ship.
"We have no grudges against each other, can't you just let me go!!!"
The figure howled and screamed, "I beg you, please let me go! We should go our separate ways and not disturb each other. Why are you trying to force me to death?!"
Everyone looked grim and ignored it, continuously grabbing talismans and pills and throwing them towards the figure.
Blood, flesh, and yellow-brown pus splattered as the tattered figure, hands covered in bird feathers, grabbed the boat's side, tears streaming down his face as he screamed and cursed frantically, "You will die a horrible death! All of you will die a horrible death!!!"
"What have I done wrong?! I just want to go home, why won't you let me go home!!!"
The figure with twisted limbs was clinging to the side of the ship, with his upper body sticking out of the ghost ship.
The pupils of the people in the distance suddenly shrank and they opened their mouths in panic.
The figure jumped out of the ghost ship and looked at the sea below. His face with three or two feathers was full of joy and yearning, and he couldn't help crying with joy.
Everyone's eyes were bloodshot, and a strong feeling of powerlessness and despair suddenly rose in their hearts.
Suddenly, the tattered figure stopped in mid-air above the sea, like an insect being grasped by an invisible hand, and the hand suddenly clenched.
With a "bang", the twisted figure was squeezed to the extreme and exploded into a ball of blood, with flesh and blood falling down rustling.
A red flame flashed in the air, and in a moment, the large piece of flesh and blood was burned into black ashes. The ashes were picked up by the wind and scattered randomly on the edge of the gray and dilapidated deck of the ghost ship.
Everyone stared at the scene in stunned silence.
Suddenly, they heard slow and steady footsteps not far away, and they all turned their heads in a daze to look.
Two ethereal figures of girls, one in white and one in blue, walked down the gangway slowly...
It turned out that the ghost ship had reached the shore without anyone noticing.
Everyone on the boat stared at their receding backs, unable to recover for a long time, their minds filled with countless thoughts that were difficult to describe in clear words.
They were trembling unconsciously.
The hazy sky quickly turned bright and colorful at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Countless figures were waiting on the altars not far from the shore. They gathered and dispersed, distributed in a staggered and orderly manner, some sparse and some dense. Under the sunlight, it was like a vivid painting, pleasing to the eyes.
"It's so hard to get out here, but I have to stay a little longer..." One person looked at the distant sea and suddenly said with a smile, "The scenery outside is so beautiful, I almost don't want to go back."
The person walking next to him laughed and joked, "We won't stop you. If you don't want to go back, just stay outside."
The man smiled and said softly, "How can I bear to do that..."
Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the people next to him suddenly turned bitter, but it was only for a moment, and they smiled easily again.
What family glory? Once you enter the major immortal gates, you are just a weed.
My family can't help me, so I have to rely on myself for resources for cultivation, and my talent is not that high enough to be outstanding... I'm busy all the time, but in the end, I feel empty inside.
Neither up nor down, just a few decades of confusion and mediocrity.
But even so, no one would be willing to leave——
Leaving now would mean denying all the past. If I give up now, what would all the suffering I had endured in the past mean?
Forget it, forget it, just keep living and earn money day by day.
The corners of their mouths curled upwards as they gazed at the distant sea and sky, where the sea merged into one. The sea breeze caressed their faces, the salty smell piercing their noses, and their minds could sense the comings and goings of people.
Suddenly, the expressions on their faces changed drastically, and their eyes all stared in one direction.
Two figures, one in white and one in blue, slowly walked down from the dilapidated gray-black ghost ship. They frowned, their gazes wandered for a moment, and then fixed on the girl in white.
"I don't know if this thing is really useful..." The girl in white who was gradually moving away said indifferently.
The girl next to her in a light blue dress waved her hand casually and said, "Never mind, just take it back and show it to them."
After a pause, the girl in aqua blue stretched out her body with a relaxed demeanor, squinted her eyes, yawned sleepily, and said, "I'm so tired. I haven't rested for a few days... You can take the things back. I need to play outside for a while."
The girl in white had no objection, nodded slightly, and said "hmm".
"Cousin, cousin?"
Suddenly someone came up to her ear, and a handsome woman in the crowd came back to her senses. She said, "Ah!" and turned around to see a familiar face beside her. She smiled and said, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, cousin." The woman who looked similar to her said with a smile.
The woman in the blue sect uniform opened her mouth to say something when a man in the same sect uniform came up to her. He forced a smile but asked hurriedly, "Did you gain anything from this trip?"
"Eh..." The heroic woman who was pushed away by him frowned, opened her mouth, and changed the subject in dissatisfaction, "Why are you asking these questions? Why are you making things difficult for my cousin? You're just annoying!"
"Oh, how could we possibly miss our own family..." The thin man said with a smile, "We are just curious and concerned about our cousin!"
"You guys..." The blue-clothed woman suddenly seemed to understand something. She looked at them with an unpleasant expression, wanting to say something but stopping for a moment. Finally, she sighed disapprovingly, "We can't handle them..."
She wouldn't think someone was easy to bully and manipulate simply because they looked young. Aren't those geniuses and evildoers in the sect just like that? Each of them was young, but in fact they could fight against many people and beat them to the ground.
The thing that the girl in white was carrying had such a strong scent, how could they, who couldn't even get a rank in the sect, be worthy of thinking about it?
The woman in white next to her, who looked similar to her, sighed and said, "No, I wanted to go to the fairy mountain to see if I could find something to cure grandma, but the fairy mountain disappeared in just a day and a half..."
"The Immortal Mountain disappeared?" The man's eyes widened in disbelief and he suddenly interrupted her with a sharp voice, "How could the Immortal Mountain disappear?"
The heroic woman was also startled by her words, but she suppressed her shock and glared at him unhappily.
The man ignored her, and his fellow disciples in blue all stared at the woman in white in front of them.
The woman in white moved her throat, and her face looked a little uncomfortable. She subconsciously took a step back, then relaxed and said helplessly: "Yes, the treasures of the fairy mountain were taken away, and the fairy mountain disappeared."
The expressions on the faces of the men in blue suddenly became filled with surprise and uncertainty.
Suddenly, the serious and prim man frowned, stared at her, and asked, "Then didn't you ever think of snatching it back? Why just let someone else take it away?"
As soon as these words came out, an unhappy look appeared on the face of the woman in white. She frowned and said, "How can I possibly rob them? Do you know that the two of them instantly destroyed something that even a dozen of us couldn't handle? Am I going to die?"
"Hey, hey, hey, sister, don't be angry, don't be angry. This guy just doesn't know how to talk. Don't bother with him." The man in blue who squeezed in first said hurriedly to comfort her.
After he finished speaking, he hurriedly pulled the woman in white and turned to look to the side, "Hey, hey, hey, look, are you talking about those two people? Is that right?"
