Chapter 164 Danger at Sea
Lin Que and his two companions had originally planned to find a boat, but it seems they won't need one now.
It's good to go with Ning Yusheng and the others; they can look out for each other on the way.
As the saying goes, it’s nice to lean against a big tree for shade!
There are towering trees on the ship, some of which are at the Nascent Soul stage, so the danger of this trip can be said to have been minimized.
Even Feng Wudao and Li Muxue, who were initially worried, relaxed.
As night fell, Lin Que and his two companions experienced the same situation as the previous night, working until morning before the monsters slowly retreated.
However, today was the day of departure. After returning to the inn, Lin Que and his companions packed up briefly and set off at the appointed time.
When Lin Que and his two companions arrived at the location Ning Yusheng had mentioned, they found that there were quite a few cultivators there, presumably fellow Daoists who had set sail together.
"Brother Lin! Over here!"
Just as Lin Que was looking around, Ning Yusheng's voice rang out from not far away.
Lin Que looked toward the source of the sound and saw Ning Yusheng waving at him, signaling them to come over.
Seeing this, Lin Que and the other two came to Ning Yusheng's side.
"Brother Ning, who are these people?" Lin Que asked when he saw that Ning Yusheng had several friends with him.
Upon hearing this, Ning Yusheng smiled and said, "These are my junior brothers and sisters from my sect. I am not the only one sent by the sect this time."
"Some people are still staying in the town. After all, the town can't be short-handed after we leave."
Afterwards, Lin Que and his two companions introduced themselves to Ning Yusheng's sect disciples.
However, when they heard that Lin Que and the other two came from a first-class sect, the Qingyun Sect, they couldn't help but be surprised!
After getting to know each other, they learned that Ning Yusheng's sect was only a second-rate sect called Zhengyang Sect.
That's why they looked surprised at Lin Que and his two companions.
Thinking of this, Lin Que suddenly asked Ning Yusheng, "By the way, Brother Ning, didn't Brother Zhou, who was with you before, come this time?"
Upon hearing this, Ning Yusheng laughed and said, "It seems that Brother Lin has misunderstood. Brother Zhou and I are not from the same sect."
"So, it's normal that you didn't see him, Brother Lin."
"So that's how it is. I thought you and Brother Zhou were from the same sect," Lin Que said, nodding.
The person Lin Que was referring to was Zhou Li, who was with Ning Yusheng in Yunyang City at the time.
At this moment, Ning Yusheng suddenly asked Lin Que, "By the way, since you say so, Brother Lin, I suddenly realized that your wife didn't come with you?"
These words stunned not only Lin Que, but also Feng Wudao and Li Muxue!
"Junior brother, do you already have a wife?" Li Muxue tilted her head and looked at Lin Que with a curious expression.
Even Feng Wudao is like that!
What the hell!
Brother Ning, why did you suddenly bring this up?
"Haha! Well... this..."
Just as Lin Que was wondering how to explain, a sound suddenly came from the sky!
This drew everyone's attention, and they all looked up at the sky!
"The time has come!"
"Please board the ship!"
An old man descended from the sky, exuding a faint aura of power.
From this oppressive aura, Lin Que could sense that this was an old man at the Nascent Soul stage.
After speaking, the old man took a miniature boat from his sleeve and threw it directly into the sea.
Then, with a gesture, the mini boat instantly grew larger!
It turned into a giant ship!
"Let's go, let's board the ship first!"
Seeing this, Lin Que finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly led the way toward the giant ship.
"Huh? That's strange!"
"Brother Lin, why are you in such a hurry?"
Ning Yusheng shook his head, looking puzzled, and then headed towards Lin Que's figure.
Feng Wudao and Li Muxue exchanged a glance, both able to see the confusion in each other's eyes.
However, they didn't think much of it and followed Lin Que, just like Ning Yusheng, towards the giant ship.
After everyone had boarded the ship one after another, it soon started moving and set off into the Nether Sea.
On the ship, Lin Que could sense from the aura that, in addition to the Nascent Soul Realm elder, there were at least four Golden Core Realm experts on this voyage.
None of the other cultivators were below the Life Sea Realm.
This lineup was quite strong, which made the cultivators on the ship relax.
There was no pressure at all; it was just a regular sea voyage.
Lin Que initially thought the same way, but as the giant ship sailed further and further away, his mind began to revert to what it had been before.
An unease is spreading!
At this moment, the sky is cloudless and the sea is a deep, clear blue.
Lin Que frowned, gazing at the calm sea around him, and suddenly said to Feng Wudao and Li Muxue, "You two must stay by my side and not leave easily!"
The giant ship had already moved far from the coast, and it was impossible to turn back. Since Lin Que and the other two could not fly, Lin Que could only have the two of them follow him closely.
Li Muxue asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Lin Que said with a solemn expression, "It's hard to say, but I have a vague sense of unease in my heart."
"In short, just listen to me."
Seeing Lin Que's solemn expression, Feng Wudao and Li Muxue's expressions also became somewhat heavy.
They knew that if their junior brother looked serious, he was unlikely to lie.
It seems we really need to be more careful.
After the giant ship had been sailing for an hour, Lin Que's unease grew stronger!
"The sky...it suddenly got dark!"
Just then, a terrified scream suddenly rang out from the crowd on the ship!
Everyone looked up at the sky!
The sky, which had been cloudless, suddenly darkened, and the process was so rapid that it gave everyone no time to react!
"Boom~!"
Suddenly, a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a series of thunderclaps!
And a strong wind started to blow!
This caused the once calm sea to become turbulent.
The waves began to crash against the ship's hull, causing the giant vessel to rock violently, and everyone could only manage to stay afloat by sheer luck.
The sky, filled with lightning and thunder, and the surging sea seemed to echo each other from afar.
This made the giant ship seem like a small boat in a turbulent storm, which could be capsized at any moment!
But that's not the scariest part!
Because the next moment!
"Those...those monsters...they've appeared again!"
From within the crowd, another terrified scream rang out!
Everyone immediately looked around the giant ship.
Immediately afterwards, they saw the monsters that only appeared at night crawling towards the ship from all around its hull...
