Ling Xiaoxiang’s airship speed increased, and in just half a column of time, the airship arrived at the outskirts of this huge castle.
Only at this point did Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoxiang see clearly that this was not a castle at all? It was clearly a castle-shaped void ship.
The Void Giant Ship was just staying in the void, and Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were too far away from it, so they mistook it for a castle.
“There is no land domain here, what is this giant ship doing parked here?” Ling Xiaoshang asked in confusion.
This kind of void giant ship was something she had seen often. However, Void Giant Ships usually didn’t stop unless they saw a wandering star land in the void and this wandering star land still had many good things, only then would the Void Giant Ships temporarily stop and let the people inside go to the star land to look for opportunities.
Di Jiu’s divine thoughts landed on the outer protective formation of this giant ship and found that it was actually a peak level six divine protective formation. This divine protection formation was very fragile and seemed to be lacking in spiritual power. Although Di Jiu’s divine thoughts could tear apart this protective formation, but this was tantamount to provoking it, he said to Ling Xiaoshen, “No matter what we do, let’s go up and take a look first.”
Di Jiu directly struck several hand signs and landed on this huge ship’s protective formation, which immediately emitted a burst of alarm sounds.
This is equivalent to the deduction of the formation, after the deduction of the formation, just wait. Normally, it would not take more than ten breaths at most, and this kind of void ship that had been withheld from the formation would open the formation door to talk.
“This giant ship is not right.” Di Jiu could not feel a strong vitality, instead there was an aura of death pervading.
Without waiting for Ling Xiaoshen to ask, Di Jiu took a step towards where the entrance to the giant ship’s protective formation was, while saying, “Let’s go up there first and take a look.”
Di Jiu’s Tian Sha Blade was offered, and with just one slash, the entrance to this originally unmaintained protective formation cracked open under Di Jiu’s slash.
Di Jiu went through the cracked entrance and stepped onto the huge ship.
Ling Xiaoshang followed Di Jiu onto the huge ship, and when they landed on the deck, they were slightly stunned. The deck was all covered in blood, and there were fragments of broken cultivator bones everywhere.
This castle-like giant ship was obviously not small, with five levels up and down. Di Jiu’s divine thoughts swept out with impunity, and on the five levels he saw at least nearly 100,000 fallen corpses. These were the ones that could be seen, those corpses that had been turned into nothingness and were invisible were feared to be even more.
“How cruel, this has killed at least one to two hundred thousand people.” Ling Xiaoshen sighed.
Di Jiu thought of that Wu Luo that he had taken out back then, this guy practiced the Dao of Withering, no chicken or dog would be left behind wherever he went, not a single life would exist. The guy who killed on this giant ship was probably on par with that Wu Luo. This kind of disgusting cultivator was what Di Jiu hated the most.
“An entire ship’s worth of cultivators were actually all killed, so why would anyone still have to cultivate this technique?” Ling Xiaoxiang really didn’t understand and couldn’t comprehend.
Di Jiu said, “No, not all the people on this ship have been killed, there is at least one more.”
As he spoke, Di Jiu walked towards the top floor. Seeing Di Jiu go up, Ling Xiaoxiang also hurriedly followed behind her. The one who could kill all the cultivators of a giant ship in this kind of void was likely to be a Hedao powerhouse as well.
The giant ship was filled with an aura of blood everywhere, and the remnants of flesh and blood splashed everywhere made people look a little sick.
Such a large giant ship was quiet in the void with only the footsteps of Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshen remaining.
Di Jiu’s speed was fast and it only took a dozen of breaths to arrive at the top level.
The guard formation prohibitions on the top level of the giant ship were completely different from the ones below, where one could clearly see the void. Or perhaps because the top floor was inhabited by strong people, there were actually no corpses to be seen here, and not even a half-hearted smell of blood.
After Ling Xiaoxiang’s divine thoughts swept through, her gaze fell on Di Jiu. Her divine thoughts did not sweep up any living cultivators, only a more commonly decorated cave mansion on the far side of this level.
That cave her divine thoughts also swept in, and apart from some tea sets, there were only a few embellishments.
Ling Xiaoshen believed that Di Jiu would not lie to her. Since Di Jiu said that there were still people and had come to the top floor, that meant that there was really someone here.
If there was someone, then they must be hiding inside the cave.
Just when Ling Xiaoshang was curious about where this person was hiding in the cave, so that her divine thoughts could not sweep it, Di Jiu suddenly walked towards the edge of the top deck.
While Ling Xiaoshang was still puzzled, Di Jiu grabbed out several formation flags and threw them down. In just a few dozens of breaths, Di Jiu struck dozens of hand tricks one after another, and then shouted, “Open it for me.”
A slight cracking sound was heard, and then a trace suddenly cracked open at one corner of the deck, and as soon as Di Jiu brought his hand along, the trace seemed to survive out of thin air, and then suddenly grew bigger.
When Di Jiu removed this concealing guard all together, Ling Xiaoxiang finally got a clear look inside.
A little girl with thinning yellow hair was shrinking in one corner, staring at Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang with frightened eyes.
With just a sweep of Ling Xiaoxiang’s divine thoughts, she immediately knew the girl’s cultivation level, which was actually only the middle stage of Immortal King strength. In this side of the void, a mid Immortal King at her age did not indicate strong qualifications. Many children of cultivators with strong bloodlines might be immortal level cultivators at birth.
“There really is a leaky one, it looks like she is lucky to still have a concealment talisman to escape by hiding in this place.” Ling Xiaoshen said with another sigh, her heart growing a little more confused as she remembered the kind of sentiment her master had.
What exactly was the purpose of cultivation? Why did she see always more gloom and killings since her debut?
Di Jiu smiled and asked gently, “Do you know who killed all the people in here?”
Seeming to sense that Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang were not scary, the panic in this girl’s eyes was always much less, and she stuttered, “It was a red-haired guest in the void ship, he killed many, many people ……”
“How do you know?” Ling Xiaoshang asked in confusion.
Di Jiu pointed to a shadowy display at the edge of the deck and said, “There is a formation monitoring screen, because the divine spirit veins on this void ship have been drained, so that monitoring screen is useless. I reckon she should have seen it from this monitor screen.”
The girl kept nodding her head, but would no longer say a word.
Ling Xiaoxiang said, “You should come with us, with this level of cultivation, it’s dangerous for you to stay here alone.”
The girl looked at Ling Xiaoxiang with wide eyes, not knowing if she was considering if it was okay or if she was considering the danger of Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoxiang, she didn’t answer for a while.
Without waiting for the girl to answer, Di Jiu said, “Xiaoshuang, I reckon that Environment is very difficult to inquire about. How about we go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven first? I still have a Taiyin Heart, and I want to take it out in the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven. It’s just as well that we put her in the Outer Heaven, and then ask around in the Outer Heaven for news of the Environment Clan, how about that?”
“You still have a Taiyin Heart?” Ling Xiaoshen looked at Di Jiu in surprise.
She knew that Di Jiu had obtained a Tai Yin Heart and a Sun Heart. It was unexpected that Di Jiu used up the Taiyin Sun Heart and still had a Taiyin Heart. Could it be that before Di Jiu’s flame advancement only used the Sun Heart and the Tai Yin Heart was not used up at all?
Di Jiu casually took out a jade box and opened it, “That’s right, I do still have a Taiyin Heart, my flame has long since advanced, and I can’t use it for a while. I heard that you can get a price for all good things in the Heaven’s Beyond, wouldn’t it be just right for me to make an offer in the Heaven’s Beyond and inquire about the news of the Environment Clan?”
Ling Xiaoshen knew there was no other way, so she had to mumble and turn her head once again to the little girl and say, “Let’s go to the Xuanhuang Outer Heaven and take you with us, okay?”
The little girl remained silent and hesitated for a while before nodding her head instead.
