Chapter 318: Chapter 184: Mouse? Quite delicious.

The river surface was like a mirror, calm and waveless.

In the absolute silence, only the blending of water and sky persisted,

the swirling mists that had lingered earlier had slowly faded away with the deepening night, leaving only a touch of gentle moonlight spilling over it.

The man hovering over the river on his sword touched the wooden monkey mask on his face, feeling the roughness at his fingertips, and chuckled, "I truly am a sinner, if the spirits of my parents knew what evils I’ve become, even in the realm below they would find no peace."

On a small boat nearby, the steward smirked obsequiously and said, "Monkey Lord, the task has been completed, you see..."

"What’s the rush?"

The Monkey looked up at the stars, "Someone will come to confirm it soon."

He wasn’t quite sure himself.

"Yes, yes."

The steward nodded repeatedly.

About half an incense stick’s time later, a figure swept in from the night sky.

The newcomer was cloaked in black, seemingly merging with the night, emitting an extremely uncomfortable sinister aura.

"Ah, it turns out to be the covert master."

The Monkey greeted with a smile.

The covert master ignored him, pulled out a compass, aimed it at the location where the ship had just sunk, and as a few stars dropped in the sky, he watched the changes on the compass and said faintly, "The sacrifice has not yet been successful."

"What!?"

The voice under the Monkey’s mask was quite surprised.

The steward’s face changed color.

—

The massive passenger ship crashed into a large hall.

Protected by Leng Jing’s magic artifact, the people on board were not greatly impacted, only a few had scrapes.

The crowd looked at the strange and mysterious hall with confusion and fear. Some, having their mental defenses completely collapsed by the successive upheavals, thought they had arrived in Yama’s Palace, and collapsed on the ground, crying inconsolably.

Leng Jing looked at some withered cacti, her expression somber.

The girl was extremely weak at this moment, her face completely devoid of color, leaning against a stone pillar on one side of the hall, her body posture barely supporting her as she rested to regain some strength.

"Miss Leng, are you alright?"

Mr. Yu came over, asking with concern.

Leng Jing smiled and shook her little head, "I’m fine, just need to rest a bit."

"Everyone listen to me!"

At this moment, Chu Qi clapped his hands vigorously, drawing everyone’s attention, and said solemnly, "This is not any netherworld, we are still alive, none drowned. Don’t be discouraged, we will definitely find a way out!"

Being an official, although everyone was still fearful, they were somewhat cheered up by Chu Qi’s encouragement.

Seeing that the crowd was no longer depressed, Chu Qi sighed in relief.

He walked up to Leng Jing and asked, "Miss Leng, have you seen Master Jiang earlier?"

Leng Jing shook her head, "I haven’t seen him."

The girl grew anxious, "Chu, could something have happened to Jiang Mo?"

Chu’s heart was melancholic, but he squeezed out a smile and said, "Probably not, Master Jiang’s cultivation is so high, he might have escaped."

Leng Jing nodded slightly, her heart still filled with worry.

Mr. Yu, standing by, gazed at Leng Jing’s haggard face, his fingers gently caressing it, lost in thought.

"Gold! Gold!"

Suddenly, an excited shouting came.

It turned out that two people had discovered a stone door, and upon pushing it open, they found a cavern filled with gold and silver treasures, covered in dust and cobwebs, yet their brilliance was undimmed.

Seeing these treasures, those present went into a frenzy.

Those who were previously depressed, now had fiery gazes, their faces showing wild excitement, scrambling into the treasure-filled chamber in a mad rush to loot.

Their earlier despondency and fear were instantly overwhelmed by the waves of greed.

Only Leng Jing, Chu Qi, and Mr. Yu did not join in.

Chu Qi cried out in desperation, "Everyone, calm down, don’t act recklessly! Don’t just touch things here! This place is very strange, don’t touch them!"

But who could restrain their greed in the face of such wealth?

Bang!

Suddenly, a figure flew out heavily, smashing against a stone pillar, landing next to Leng Jing.

It was a man, spitting blood.

The people who were looting gold and silver were startled at once, and the noisy chamber suddenly fell silent.

It was Zheng of Divine Fist Gang who had acted.

With a disdainful look in his eyes, Zheng spoke coldly, "Put down what you’re holding!"

The people looked at each other.

Seeing Zheng taking charge, Chu Qi slightly relaxed, just about to speak when he saw Zheng walk up to a portly middle-aged man, and with one palm, crushed the man’s head.

Then he took the gold and silver jewelry from the man’s embrace, saying coldly, "I said put it down, why didn’t you listen?"

Looking at the startled others, Zheng’s tone was icy, "I’ll say it again, put down the things you looted, everything in this chamber is mine, you... have no right to touch it!"

"Put it down!!"

With Zheng’s fierce shout, everyone hurriedly dropped the treasures in their hands.

With Jiang Shouzhong absent, Leng Jing’s mana drained, Zheng, undoubtedly the highest in cultivation present, easily manipulated these ordinary people with the strength of a Great Profound Sect Master.

Chu’s face went red as he trembled all over and shouted, "Zheng, what are you doing!?"

"What am I doing?"

Zheng held a handful of gold and silver treasures, his eyes barely hiding the blazing greed, "Chu, you want them too, don’t you? It’s just that you’ve been pretending for so long, you can’t face it momentarily. But no worries, I’ll give you some, consider it making friends."

Chu’s face turned red, his body trembling, "Even if you want to seize these treasures, why must you kill? Moreover, we still haven’t found a way out, what use are these treasures now?"
