Chapter 718: An Extra Person!

Chapter 721: An Extra Person!

“What? 48 people!”

“That means there’s an extra person?!”

“…”

At that moment, everyone felt their scalps go numb. They felt the temperature in the cold room drop by a few dozen degrees, and chills started to run down their spines.

At first, everyone counted, and the total number was 48.

After Bai Pengfei’s death, logically speaking, there should only be 47 people!

However, why were there still 48 people?!

“Impossible!”

Bai Shaoyu subconsciously objected, but he still kept sizing up the people behind him. It was obvious that he was feeling scared.

For a moment, a few flashlights shone on everyone’s faces, and everyone counted the number of the people on their side.

After a while, Bai Shaoyu’s trembling voice was heard, “W-We still have 23 people on this side…”

They had lost Bai Pengfei. Logically speaking, there should only be 22 of them, but the total number was still the same…

“What?”

“Who is the extra person?”

“…”

Everyone was shocked, and they subconsciously gathered around to look at Xiao Yuanjing and the rest. In the end, they realized that there was a figure standing beside a dragon patterned golden pillar at their side.

Bai Shaoyu gulped and asked, “Who are you?”

The man did not move or say a word.

Bai Shaoyu shouted again, “Are you a human or a ghost?”

“What nonsense is this!”

Xiao Yuanjing snorted. He took a step forward and extended his hand towards the figure. Logically speaking, as the person who ranked No.2 on the Martial Venerable Leaderboard, only Luo Tianya could suppress him!

However, just as his hand was about to touch the shadow…

The figure was even faster than him. It turned into an afterimage and dodged the attack. Then, it rushed to the second floor of the ghost ship.

Bai Shaoyu exclaimed, “That thing ran up there!”

The series of actions was done within a blink of an eye. By the time everyone realized what was happening and wanted to stop it, it was too late.

Xiao Yuanjing’s expression turned terrible!

He had personally made a move, but he had failed to stop the other party!

At that moment, everyone’s attention was no longer on Bai Pengfei’s death. Instead, they frowned as they tried to figure out what that shadow was.

Yuan Qitai stuttered, “Was that thing a human or a ghost?”

“It doesn’t look like a ghost!”

Master Yizhen slowly shook his head and said, “This old monk is a Buddhist and has always been extremely sensitive to evil things. However, I didn’t sense any evil aura from that figure.”

“That’s right!”

Even the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, nodded and said, “It’s very simple for ghosts to kill humans. There’s no need to drink one’s blood and eat one’s flesh.”

Everyone looked down at the human skin on the ground.

It was unknown if someone was overly nervous, but the breath that was released hit the human skin, causing it to bulge.

“A dead person still wants to stir up trouble!”

Zhang Wuming raised his hand and tossed a talisman. The talisman spontaneously combusted and burned the human skin, filling the room with a foul smell.

“Could it have something to the black fog outside the window?”

Ye Chen said nothing. He only took a deep look at the stairs leading to the second floor of the ghost ship. He seemed to be thinking about something.

“I’ve had enough!”

At that moment, an old man holding a sword next to Ye Chen took a step forward and said coldly, “It seems like it’s not safe to stay in the room all the time. We all have our own objectives when we set foot on the ghost ship. What else can we do if we stay here?”

With that, he held his sword in one hand and stepped onto the stairs that led to the second floor directly, “I don’t believe in ghosts. Who cares if it’s evil? I’ll destroy it with one strike!”

Zhang Wuming wanted to stop him, “Fellow Li, please don’t!”

However, the old man did not even turn his head and soon disappeared from the first floor of the ship. Everyone heard footsteps coming from the wooden boards above their heads.

“Let’s follow too. I want to see what kind of thing dares to play tricks to us!”

With that, Xiao Yuanjing followed the old man up the stairs leading to the second floor. Bai Shaoyu hesitated for a moment before leading his men and following closely behind.

“Since they’re not afraid, what are we afraid of?”

Not to be outdone, Luo Tianya led his men forward as well.

Zhang Wuming could not help but look at Ye Chen upon seeing that, “Mr. Ye, do you think we should go up?”

“Let’s go!”

Ye Chen smiled lightly and took a step forward.

…

On the ghost ship’s second floor, they realized that there were many tables and chairs when they arrived at the second floor. The doors and windows were closed. Just as Shi Qianhan had said, this floor was a dining room!

The group studied the second floor of the ship and realized that it was empty. Someone could not help but ask, “Where is the person who just came up?”

With his reminder, everyone finally reacted.

That was right!

The old man with the sword had clearly come up!

However, where was he?

Zhang Wuming frowned, “Could he have gone to the third floor?”

Someone exclaimed, “There are no stairs on the second floor!”

Everyone had their guards up, and they immediately checked their surroundings again. They really did not find any stairs that led to the third floor. The entire second floor seemed to be sealed.

Ye Chen frowned and tried his best to cover the place with his Divine Consciousness. He realized that it was really like the first floor. The doors and windows around him blocked his Divine Consciousness completely.

“Wait, where’s Shi Qianhan? Why isn’t he following us?”

Luo Shuiyao suddenly spoke.

Everyone looked and realized that Shi Qianhan was not among the crowd.

Master Yizhen shook his head and said, “It looks like he stayed down there?”

“That man is afraid of death!”

Bai Shaoyu sneered, “Looks like I overestimated him!”

Ye Chen had a thought. He turned around and was about to return to the first floor of the ghost ship. However, he stopped at that moment and looked at a wall before him.

There was a lantern hanging there. Different from the other lanterns, this lantern was white. Its cover was not made of paper, but more like skin. As the light flickered, it looked like a human head grinning wickedly.

There was also a faint smell of blood.

“Is there something wrong with this lantern?”

A young man from the Xiao Clan’s camp walked over subconsciously. He reached out to take the lantern and examined it.

At the next moment, the entire second floor shook violently.

A coffin slowly appeared before everyone!

It was an ancient coffin, but there was no lid!

The strangest thing was that there was a faint light inside the coffin.

This sudden scene caused everyone to subconsciously take a step back. Their faces were filled with fear as they stared at the ancient coffin.

Tang Yiming’s expression was a little terrible, “This ancient coffin appeared out of thin air, and it even blocked the stairs that lead back to the first floor!”

“Xiao Shun, go take a look!”

Xiao Yuanjing glanced at the young man from the Xiao Clan who had removed the lantern earlier.

The man was obviously a little scared, “Young master!”

Xiao Yuanjing’s gaze turned cold, “Go!”

Xiao Shun hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he did not dare to disobey the order. He carried the lantern and walked towards the ancient coffin with trepidation…

However, no one knew that on the fourth floor of the ghost ship, an ice coffin stood silently on the ground. Inside the coffin lay a woman of peerless beauty.

Shi Qianhan was currently standing in the ice coffin. He slapped the lid of the coffin and bent down to gently caress the woman’s face. His eyes were filled with tenderness, “Yu’er, Qianhan is here…”
