Genius Daddy in the City

Ye Chen was not surprised at Xiao Yuanjing’s actions. It was obvious that the person wanted to use Bruce and the rest to attack him. However, he did not care. Since he had killed Fire Emperor and Titan, why would he care about Bruce and the rest?

After realizing how powerful Ye Chen was, some people immediately gave up on the idea of charging through the iron chain bridge that he was on. Instead, they turned to Luo Tianya, Tang Yiming, Xiao Yuanjing, and the rest.

However, they did not expect Luo Tianya and the rest to be as powerful as Ye Chen. Dozens of people died within a few minutes.

In an instant, there were less than 50 people left. The river water was already dyed red with blood, and bodies floated on the surface of the river.

At that moment, Yuan Qitai who was by the shore mustered his courage and walked out. He looked at Ye Chen and said, “Mr. Ye, can you let us board the ghost ship?”

As he said that, he knelt before Ye Chen on the spot and begged, “Mr. Ye, the previous leaders of the four tomb raiding sects were on the ghost ship back then. We really want to board to look for them!”

Ye Chen nodded lightly and said, “Come on up!”

“Thank you, Mr. Ye!”

Yuan Qitai and the rest were extremely excited. They immediately stepped onto the iron chain bridge where Ye Chen was under everyone’s envious gazes and stood behind him respectfully.

The old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, also stood up after witnessing this scene. He cupped his hands and said, “Mr. Ye, I wonder if I can board the ship?”

“Fellow Ye, as the China No.1, I hope that you will allow us to board the ship on account that we share the same roots.”

Master Yizhen and the elderly man pleaded.

Ye Chen agreed to all of them. However, he stopped the rest who were less powerful. After all, they might not survive even if he let them board the ship.

Seeing this, Bai Shaoyu smirked coldly, “This brat is smart. After knowing our goal, he followed suit.”

The old Celestial Master Zhang Wuming of Mount Longhu, Master Yizhen, and the rest were actually not less powerful than Bruce and the rest. In this way, the two parties’ strengths would still be balanced.

On the other hand, no one went up to the iron chain bridge where Shi Qianhan was standing on.

“Let’s go!”

Xiao Yuanjing led everyone onto the deck of the ghost ship.

The deck was very spacious, like a small field. There was no sign of corrosion, and it was very dry. Even though there were several dozen people standing on it, there was no sign of damage.

However, everyone subconsciously stood on the deck and did not dare to enter the room next to them. Even though it was brightly lit, there was no one inside.

Just as everyone was looking at each other, they saw Shi Qianhan walk into the largest room. He seemed familiar with the place.

The crowd watched him go in for a long time before they sighed in relief. It was rather funny. Before they boarded the ship, they were fighting for their lives, but after they boarded the ship, they were afraid of death.

“Let’s go!”

After Luo Tianya said that, he took a step forward and followed Shi Qianhan’s footsteps. As he walked, he turned around and said, “Everyone, follow my footsteps. Don’t walk around and don’t touch anything.”

Soon, all of them entered a large room on the first floor of the ghost ship. The room was about 100 square meters wide.

It was similar to an ancient palace. There were dragon-patterned golden pillars around it, and there were several lanterns hanging on the walls. Even though there was no one around, the lanterns were still bright and dazzling, giving off an eerie aura.

A throne made of gold stood directly above the room. There was a stone staircase made of white jade between the throne and the floor.

The most eye-catching thing was the throne. It was dazzling in gold and jade. The armrests of the throne were like two dragon heads. The dragon eyes were embedded with agate.

Behind the throne was a mural carved from bronze. The mural was covered in rust, and it was very blurry. One could vaguely see that it was like an ancient god. Even after the corrosion of time, it still gave off a soul-stirring aura.

There were no tables, chairs, or benches in the room, so everyone maintained their standing posture and paid full attention to their surroundings.

After a few seconds, Xiao Yuanjing said slowly, “Shi Qianhan, you once boarded the ghost ship. Can you tell us what happened on the ship?”

Everyone was shocked and could not help but look at Shi Qianhan.

Shi Qianhan’s expression was extremely cold, “Young Master Xiao, your Xiao Clan and I are irreconcilable enemies. Do you think I would be so kind to tell you?”

“You…” Xiao Yuanjing’s expression turned grim.

At that moment, a scream came from the side.

Everyone immediately looked up and saw an old woman’s hand resting on a dragon-patterned golden pillar. What was terrifying was that her hand was rotting at a visible rate, reaching her body in no time.

Yuan Qitai, who was next to Ye Chen, had a change of expression when he saw that. He wanted to rush over by instinct, “Wen Qing!”

“Don’t go over!”

Ye Chen stopped him at the right time.

At the next moment, the old woman’s arms, legs, and even her entire body had all turned into a pool of thick water. There was only a piece of clothing mixed with blood left on the ground. The blood was bubbling and steaming.

“Wen Qing!”

Yuan Qitai and the other two were devastated!

He did not expect an accident to happen to his old friend, who he had known for decades. The moment they boarded the ship, she had died so miserably!

Everyone else’s expression changed.

They had been on guard the moment they boarded the ship. When they discovered that there was nothing special about the ship, some of them slowly let down their guard. Now, the old woman’s fate had raised their guards once again.

“There’s corpse poison on the golden pillar. Be careful, everyone!”

Master Yizhen’s expression changed, and he immediately reminded everyone. Subsequently, he slowly walked to the pool of blood, held the prayer beads in his hand, and muttered, ” Namo Amitabhaya, Tathagataya, Tadyatha…”

Even the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, burned a talisman and threw it on the pool of blood, “May the heavenly venerate of Xuanling Treasure at the Taishang Cave and the heavenly venerate of Taiyi who saves the suffering takes you in. Leave the calamities forever, and ascend to the East Mansion as soon as possible…”

“I forgot to tell you guys, don’t touch anything on the ship!”

Shi Qianhan finally spoke. However, he only cared about Ye Chen’s life and death among everyone present.

An old man next to Yuan Qitai glared at him, “Damn it. If that’s the case, why didn’t you warn us earlier? If that’s the case, Wen Qing wouldn’t have died…”

Shi Qianhan’s expression remained unchanged, “What does your life and death have to do with me?”

That person flew into a rage. Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly felt the entire ghost ship shake violently. He staggered and fell to the ground.

The rest of the people were not any better off. They desperately circulated their True Energy to resist the jolting force. The commotion was just too big, as if the entire ship was about to flip over.

“The ghost ship is about to return!”

Shi Qianhan was the only one who was happy instead of worried. With a gentle expression, he said, “Yu’er, I’ll be able to see you soon. Wait for me…”
