Chapter 723: A Tense Situation, Targeted by All!

Chapter 726: A Tense Situation, Targeted by All!

On the second floor of the ghost ship’s secret chamber, following Xiao Buyi’s instructions, the peaceful situation was completely disrupted.

After all, Xiao Buyi’s prediction was far too terrifying. Apart from Shi Qianhan, there were two other ghosts among them!

They did not believe in these things. Even if there were ghosts, they were not afraid!

However, ever since they stepped onto the ghost ship, many people had died in succession. It was not an exaggeration to call what had happened strange. Therefore, at this moment, a chill slowly crept into everyone’s hearts.

At that moment, many people looked at Ye Chen with hostility. Even Luo Tianya, Tang Yiming, and the rest were doubtful.

Not only was Ye Chen fearless in the face of everyone’s gaze, he looked straight at Xiao Yuanjing and said while sneering, “Have you finally revealed your true intentions? You guys have really put in a lot of effort to confront me!”

“Confront you?”

Xiao Yuanjing’s gaze froze, and he snorted, “Ye, don’t think too highly of yourself. If we wanted to confront you, we would’ve done so long ago when we boarded the ship. Why would we wait until now?”

Ye Chen’s expression did not change at all, “Then, what right do you have to call me a ghost? Just because of the painting of Xiao Buyi that you guys found?”

Bai Shaoyu smirked coldly, “Then how do you explain that you’re standing in the same position as the ghost in the painting? The ghost in the painting is exactly the same as the ghost in the black fog outside the ghost ship.”

“That’s right!”

Bruce, the marquis of the Blood Clan, also chimed in, “Xiao Buyi predicted our arrival 20 years ago. The number of people in the painting is exactly the same as ours, so there’s no mistake in it, right?”

Everyone nodded.

Even though they did not want to believe it, they had no choice but to admit that the third part of the painting that Xiao Buyi had left behind was referring to them. All of them were surrounded by black energy, and they were also trapped in a secret chamber.

“And you!”

Xiao Yuanjing suddenly looked at the old man holding the sword and said, “Of all of us, you were the first to step onto the second floor of the ghost ship. When we followed you, we could not see you anymore. Then, the ancient coffin that led to the secret chamber appeared, and my clan’s Xiao Shun went in to investigate and died.”

At this point, his gaze turned cold, “We all saw clearly that when Xiao Shun came out, he was holding your head in his hand. However, after he died, you appeared. Tell us, if you are not a ghost, then what are you?”

As he said that, many people nodded to themselves. Xiao Yuanjing’s analysis was not wrong at all. Actually, when the old man walked out of the coffin, everyone suspected whether he was a human or a ghost.

Even the old Celestial Master of Mount Longhu, Zhang Wuming, was shaken. He could not help but look at the old man with the sword and ask, “Brother Li, this concerns your identity. Can you explain it to us?”

“I…”

The elderly man faltered slightly before a wry smile appeared on his face, “When I first arrived here, I felt a chill run down my neck, and then I lost consciousness. When I woke up, I discovered that I was in this secret chamber, and as I discovered Xiao Buyi’s statue, I completely forgot about everything that had happened, so I went back to inform all of you…”

He paused for a moment and said with an unnatural expression, “I suspect that I’ve been ambushed by something…”

Even when he said that, he did not have the confidence because it was difficult to convince others.

Ye Chen frowned and stared at him, “Are you saying that someone ambushed you from behind when you came up and knocked you out before throwing you into the secret chamber?”

He could feel that the man was not lying.

Without waiting for the old man to speak, Xiao Yuanjing sneered, “What a joke. You are a beginner-stage martial venerable. Who would be able to sneak an attack on you without anyone noticing? Furthermore, we were all on the first floor. Who would be able to sneak an attack on you?”

“Yuanjing’s analysis is accurate!”

Bai Shaoyu snickered and said, “Furthermore, the other party ambushed you but didn’t kill you. Instead, he threw you into the secret chamber. What’s the meaning of this? Do you think that he has nothing better to do?”

Zhang Wuming’s face turned grimmer and grimmer, “Brother Li, I think you should speak the truth!”

“I’m telling the truth. I didn’t tell you at the beginning because I knew that you wouldn’t believe me even if I told you!”

The old man shook his head with a bitter smile. His expression was terrible, “Furthermore, I suspect that the one who ambushed me was the one who killed Bai Pengfei in the dark and escaped to the second floor.”

“This means there’s something wrong with you!”

A cold look appeared on Xiao Yuanjing’s face, “He killed Bai Pengfei, but he only ambushed you instead of killing you. He even threw you into a secret chamber. How are you going to explain that?”

The elderly man was rendered speechless, “I…”

This time, the way everyone looked at the old man with the sword changed once again. What he said was really not worth pondering over.

“Don’t waste your breath on him!”

Bai Shaoyu interrupted him and sneered, “The situation is very clear now. When we boarded the ghost ship, the black fog attacked us. There must be evil spirits in the black fog that seized the opportunity to sneak in before we could close the door and windows.”

He looked directly at Ye Chen and the old man with the sword, “I’m sure that there are three evil spirits that sneaked in. The first one is the one who killed Bai Pengfei in the dark. The two of you must be the remaining two evil spirits!”

Xiao Yuanjing took a step forward. His killing intent locked onto Ye Chen and the old man holding the sword, “Everyone, kill them. Even if they’re evil spirits, we can kill them since they’re outnumbered!”

At the next moment, apart from the Luo family and the Tang family, everyone else on the scene unleashed cold killing intent at Ye Chen and the old man.

“We’re stepping away from this!”

Zhang Wuming exchanged glances with Master Yizhen and the rest. They then stood aside at the same time. Clearly, they suspected that Ye Chen was a ghost, but they could not attack him.

Luo Shuiyao’s pretty face changed, she was just about to step forward when she was restrained by Luo Tianya. She could not help but speak with a trembling voice, “Brother…”

“This isn’t something that we should interfere with!” Luo Tianya said grimly.

Xiang Heng chuckled coldly as he said, “Yaoyao, Xiao Buyi’s prediction is very clear. Brat Ye is a ghost, so why don’t we strike first instead of letting him kill us?”

“Fine!”

Ye Chen spoke slowly. Although his tone seemed calm, it revealed extreme coldness, “Since I can’t reason with you guys, I can only use my fists. If you call me a ghost, I’ll turn you guys into ghosts today!”

“Kill him!”

Bai Shaoyu shouted and charged at Ye Chen first.

At that moment, the entire ghost ship shook violently. It was as if a meteorite had fallen from the sky. Everyone almost lost their balance.

Someone exclaimed, “What happened?!”
