My Simulated Road to Immortality
Chapter 1379 - 1275

Moments later, he turned around with an extremely unsightly expression and said.

A chill suddenly enveloped everyone.

Compared with the initial murder, the murderer’s techniques seemed to be getting more skilled.

Just now, dealing with the Space Catastrophe could have been an excuse, but now everyone was indeed focusing intently and watching.

Yet the murderer still brazenly committed the crime...

How could this be guarded against?

Inside the Flying Boat, a death-like silence had set in.

"I actually think that Qing Shuang’s words before his death are not without reason," Sun Lu Chang spoke up, breaking the calm.

"From the current situation, the murderer’s strength is increasing too quickly. Perhaps it won’t be long before, after another slaughter, he won’t need to act covertly. Instead, he will appear openly and straightforwardly kill all of us. Staying on the ship is definitely a path to death. It’s better for each of us to abandon the ship and seek survival in the Void."

Sun Lu Chang’s words also elicited agreement from other Unity-Path cultivators, "True, this [Dignified] Flying Boat is extremely fast. As long as we leave at intervals, the relative distance between us in the Star Sea will be very far. The Star Sea is vast and boundless, even if he has Heavensreach capabilities, he absolutely cannot catch us all in one net!"

"Moreover, this area is still under the Suction Force of the Ruins of Immortality. As long as we follow the direction of the suction, we can return to Xuanhuang World. Additionally, each of us has a Kongming Flow Crystal from the Immortal Alliance, so safe return should not be a problem."

...

One by one, they slowly reached a consensus.

In the end, more than half chose to give up and disembark midway.

Guan Xingxiu turned to Lan Yu, seeking the opinion of this most senior Unity-Path cultivator.

Lan Yu sighed slightly, "The world is vast, but life is paramount. Their choice is not unreasonable."

"To prevent further casualties, let’s decide on this."

"Lan Lao, aren’t you leaving?"

Lan Yu shook his head, "I am nearing my life’s limit; going back is just waiting for death. It might be better to seek a sliver of vitality in the Void."

Upon hearing this, everyone was greatly surprised. After expressing their blessings, they successively left the Flying Boat and returned to Xuanhuang World.

The journey to explore the Star Sea had collapsed mid-way, which was a bit humiliating.

But it was still better than losing their lives.

After all the commotion, only five people were left on the Flying Boat.

Lan Yu, Guan Xingxiu, Sun Lu Chang, Xu Guanhai, and Zi Mei.

Guan Xingxiu looked at Xu Guanhai with some surprise, "You actually didn’t leave?"

Xu Guanhai chuckled, "I actually think that with a large group leaving, the Flying Boat is now even safer."

"Besides, no matter what, I still want to see the Mystic Commerce Immortal Vessel with my own eyes."

Xu Guanhai looked at Sun Lu Chang, "Brother Sun, it’s a bit strange, isn’t it? When everyone was clamoring to leave earlier, weren’t you the loudest? Why did you stay?"

Sun Lu Chang was somewhat embarrassed, "I’m too weak. I’m afraid I can’t return to Xuanhuang World on my own if I leave the Flying Boat. Staying here is relatively safer."

Everyone was silently nodding.

They realized that what Sun Lu Chang said was indeed true.

Unlike them, who had volunteered, Sun Lu Chang had been forcibly assigned to the Flying Boat by the Immortal Alliance and was the weakest among them.

Sun Lu Chang moved closer to where Guan Xingxiu and Lan Yu were, "Both of you, do you think there is a murderer among us?"

The other four exchanged glances, their expressions subtly shifting.

Before the identity of the murderer was revealed, no one dared to be certain.

"Since everyone has decided to stay, then we should follow our original route." After the silence, Guan Xingxiu spoke loudly, "We can reduce the [Dignified] Flying Boat space and speed up our travel."

"By the way, Guan Xingxiu, why is this Flying Boat named [Dignified]? I always feel that this name is a bit ominous."

Hearing Guan Xingxiu’s words, Lan Yu frowned and asked.

Guan Xingxiu paused briefly, then replied, "I don’t know either, it was the Dharma Transmitters who decreed it. I guess it probably means [Going to Meet the Heavenly Sovereign]."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yu’s frown deepened.

He looked up at the Flying Boat and raised a question that made the other four present shiver, "Is there anyone else on this Dignified Flying Boat aside from us?"

"Probably...not?" Guan Xingxiu responded hesitantly.

At this moment, the usually silent Zi Mei suddenly spoke, "Perhaps? Is this ship alive?"

Sun Lu Chang was startled and quickly asked, "Zi Dao You, what makes you say that?"

Zi Mei spoke softly, "I perceived the Path of the Star Sea and observed that life in the Flying Boat withers away like ants, thus I had a breakthrough."

"In my perception, this Flying Boat..."

"Seems to have a life of its own."

The words of Zi Mei sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Guan Xingxiu then hesitated a bit and said, "If that’s true, then the Immortal Alliance would definitely have..."

At this point, Guan Xingxiu abruptly stopped.

Above his head, the Golden Falling Star Divine Sword emitted a brilliant golden light as Guan Xingxiu gathered all the black threads extracted from the assassinated Unity-Path cultivators into one place.

Like worms with a life of their own, the threads fused together, becoming slightly thicker.

Previously, he had made every cultivator present come into contact with this sinister tool, yet no one had sensed its presence.

But they had overlooked the vessel itself.

The last five people on the Flying Boat exchanged glances, instantly reaching a consensus.

They arranged the Array with the black threads at the center.

"Old Guan, head to the Flying Boat’s control hub," Xu Guanhai commanded in a deep voice.

This statement seemed to enrage the black threads, which furiously slammed against the seal confining them.

The five Unity-Path cultivators exerted all their strength, securely locking it in place.

They made their way to the center of the [Wang Zun] Flying Boat.

Guan Xingxiu took a deep breath and activated the main Array Technique of the Flying Boat.

In the center of the array, the phantasm of the Dignified Flying Boat floated within.

As if guided by some unseen hand, the encircled black threads uncontrollably drifted towards the main Array Technique’s phantasm!

All five turned pale.

Boom!

At that moment, the Flying Boat suddenly began to shake violently.

The thick black thread burst forth with a force several times greater than before, instantly breaking free from everyone’s restraint.

It returned within the phantasm of the Flying Boat.

At this point, the truth was crystal clear!

The mastermind behind the assassination of several Unity-Path cultivators was none other than the Flying Boat they were aboard!

This was an utterly unimaginable conclusion.

Even now, with the facts before his eyes, Guan Xingxiu still found it hard to believe.

"Why..." he said through gritted teeth.

As the commander appointed by the Immortal Alliance with control over the Dignified Flying Boat for this mission,

this creation, supposedly under his control, had assassinated his colleagues right under his nose!

It was an outright humiliation!

Swoosh!

The Falling Star Divine Sword was unsheathed, pointing directly at the phantasm of the Flying Boat.

In the next instant, Guan Xingxiu was about to cut the Flying Boat in two with his sword.

Just then, a cold voice resonated through the space.

"Ultimate mission objective: Meet the Heavenly Sovereign."

"Derivation suggests, the likelihood of the mission, low."
