Just then, the view ahead slowly became hazy. The thick white fog seemed to connect with the sea level, like a wall. The wind was strong, but the white fog seemed to be fixed on the sea surface, completely unaffected by the wind.
Behind them, however, there was not a trace of white mist. The two exchanged a glance and saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Gong Mingyue and Ji Jiuying appeared on the deck at the same time.
“Master, you were right! That white mist is strange,” Yingyue said as she stepped forward.
Gong Mingyue remained expressionless, his deep eyes radiating an extremely dangerous light.
"Go and wake them all up."
"yes."
"Mingyou, Jiu'er, this white mist is strange. It looks like a natural barrier to me. We must be careful later." Feng Che said solemnly, his eyes showing a look of deep concern.
Gong Mingyue responded in a low voice, his hand tightly gripping Ji Jiuying's: "Jiu'er, don't stray too far from me later."
"good."
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Si Yu and the others all appeared on the deck.
"What happened?"
Yuehua stepped forward and asked.
"Look over there."
Ji Jiuying pointed ahead.
"What the hell is that?" Shirakawa asked in confusion.
“Just now I sensed the location I marked on the seabed last night, and we are indeed still in the same place…” Hei Xiangling’s tone was filled with shock as she spoke.
Not to mention the undersea currents, there are also plenty of waves on the surface. They definitely couldn't have stayed in one place. It seems that Jiu'er and that man guessed correctly.
Upon hearing Hei Xiangling's words, a look of surprise flashed across everyone's eyes, while at the same time they were secretly shocked by Gong Mingyue's power.
So we've really arrived at our destination?
"If I'm not mistaken, that white mist should be a natural barrier. This natural barrier won't last long; it will probably disappear before the sun even rises." Si Yu narrowed her eyes and stared ahead.
"So, should we go through now?" Feng Che asked Gong Mingyue.
"Let's go through now!"
Feng Che and Murong Zheng exchanged a glance and nodded.
"We don't know if there's any danger inside the white fog, so everyone should be careful and not stray too far."
Ji Jiuying reminded them, and everyone moved closer to each other, becoming extremely alert.
The airship slowly entered the white mist, which instantly engulfed everyone. When they opened their eyes, they could not see their own hands in front of their faces. A chill swept over them, and everyone instinctively shivered. At this moment, the airship was moving forward without direction in the white mist.
Ji Jiuying was held tightly in Gong Mingyue's arms, her brows furrowing slightly.
"Ah Yue, something's not right about this white mist. There's a kind of aura here that can make people fall asleep."
Gong Mingyue scoffed, "This little bit of aura isn't enough to bewitch them!"
"Although Murong Zheng is a half-demon, his cultivation level is that of a mortal. Let's go forward and see if he has been affected by the white mist."
As she spoke, she tried to break free from Gong Mingyue's embrace, but Gong Mingyue held her tightly: "Jiu'er, don't worry, he's fine, don't run around."
Upon hearing Gong Mingyue's words, Ji Jiuying stopped struggling and remained quiet.
At this moment, the white mist on the sea gradually dissipated and disappeared along with the flying boat.
Half an hour passed.
The airship finally passed through the white mist, and everyone looked around. In the distance, an island stood on the sea, surrounded by boats and fishermen, and there was even a strong smell of smoke rising from it.
"That man's aura is even stronger now!" Murong Zheng's voice came.
Ji Jiuying and Yuehua were both extremely nervous.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get ashore!"
Hei Xiangling stared at the island not far away, her eyes radiating a chilling aura and gradually revealing an undisguised killing intent.
She wanted to see which old scoundrel was trying to harm the girl!
"Wait, don't go yet," Ji Jiuying stepped forward to stop her.
"Why!" Hei Xiangling looked at Ji Jiuying in confusion.
"If I'm not mistaken, this is where those reclusive families are. Since they are reclusive families, they must be very wary of outsiders. Besides, we're here to arrest someone. There are so many fishermen's boats over there. If we go there so openly and brazenly, we might startle that person!"
“Jiu’er is right!” Feng Che nodded.
"So how do we get up there?"
Just as Ji Jiuying was about to speak, Feng Qingxue's voice came softly: "We can walk around the island first and see where it is more suitable to land."
Ji Jiuying nodded; that was exactly what she wanted to say.
"However, our ship seems a bit too conspicuous!"
"These are no problem, watch me." Feng Che cast a spell, and the flying boat transformed into something similar to the fishermen's boats.
"Alright, let's go now!"
The airship slowly approached the island and then circled it.
This island is very large, even larger than the imperial city of Cangyue Kingdom. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the area from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain was densely packed with buildings, indicating that quite a few people must live on this island.
In order to avoid attracting attention, the group disguised themselves, changing their clothes into ordinary coarse linen.
"Hey, you brat, this outfit is so ugly!" Hei Xiangling said with disdain.
"Okay, just bear with it for now!"
Before long, the group approached the shore. After going ashore, Ji Jiuying put away the flying boat.
Looking around, one sees dense forests all around, with several courtyards nestled within. The morning mist, sometimes bright and sometimes dim, makes it seem like a paradise on earth.
"Huh—"
Who are you?
A voice suddenly rang out from ahead. Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, and a slender figure appeared in the jungle, looking at them with a puzzled expression.
The newcomer was a girl who looked to be eighteen or nineteen years old. Her dark pink dress accentuated her delicate and refined beauty. Her eyes were bright as stars. Because she lived by the sea and often went out to sea to fish and was exposed to the sun, she had some freckles and slight sunburn on her cheeks. Her lively and charming appearance exuded a heroic spirit.
The girl was holding a bamboo basket, and it seemed she was preparing to go fishing at sea.
While they were sizing up the girl, she was also sizing them up.
As she approached, seeing that they remained silent, the girl said again, "You are people from the outside world."
The girl's tone was certain, and everyone's hearts sank upon hearing this. They looked at the girl warily, and Hei Xiangling narrowed her eyes, a flash of killing intent passing through them.
"Have we wandered into this place by mistake?"
There was not a trace of malice in the girl's bright eyes. Ji Jiuying patted Hei Xiangling, advising her not to act impulsively.
"How does the girl know we come from the outside world?"
Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
Ji Jiuying asked in confusion.
The girl focused her gaze on Ji Jiuying and said earnestly, "Although you are dressed simply, your aura cannot be changed by clothes. Moreover, there are no people here with skin as fair as yours. Most importantly, you are unfamiliar faces. I often travel around the island and know the people here very well."
