Shen Binglan restrained her thoughts, fearing that she would sink deeper and eventually fall in love with Chen Xuan.
Wu Mengyao asked her not to tell anyone about the heart-burning curse in her body, otherwise the ban would be automatically triggered and her lifespan would begin to decrease.
Although Shen Binglan didn't believe that there was such a powerful restriction, and even telling others her secret could activate the spell, she still didn't dare to try it easily.
When Chen Xuan saw that Shen Binglan didn't want to answer, he thought for a while and told him what happened when he humiliated Wu Mengyao on Donghua Mountain. Shen Binglan looked in disbelief.
"Binglan, I didn't kill Wu Mengyao at that time. I wanted to wait for you to recover your memory, and then we could work together to kill her. Only in this way can we completely resolve your inner demons. During this trip to the East China Sea, we will overcome the difficulties together and be able to return soon.
Go inland."
Chen Xuan once again expressed his determination.
Shen Binglan didn't know what to say.
Originally, her most normal reaction would have been to fight to the death with Chen Xuan immediately, because Chen Xuan had humiliated her most respected master, but she could not feel anger or hatred towards Chen Xuan no matter what, let alone fight Chen Xuan.
In fact, her behavior now can be regarded as betraying Wu Mengyao and Han Li Binggong. The thoughts that Wu Mengyao had instilled for many years have shown fierce resistance. If she had not been firm in her moral character, she would have given birth to inner demons long ago.
Barely suppressing the strong conflicts and entanglements in her heart, Shen Binglan said calmly on the surface: "Let's find a way to escape from this black ship first."
"Now I can't use my magic power and body strength. I wonder if you are in the same situation?"
Chen Xuan didn't know that Shen Binglan had just had a very intense ideological confrontation in a short period of time. Since Shen Binglan was still unwilling to tell the purpose of coming to Pengying Haizhou, he would not continue to ask.
"Yes, me too."
Shen Binglan nodded slightly in the darkness, pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't know if it's because we were hit by the blue beam of light, or if there is some kind of restriction on the black ship that limits the monks' mana and body strength."
"Both are possible. We can't see anything now, so we can't act rashly for the time being. If there is still no light source after a long time, we can only risk exploring the inside of the ship."
Chen Xuan said this, and Shen Binglan had no objection.
After a very short silence, a strange ancient lamp with green flames suddenly appeared to the left of the two of them. It looked like a will-o'-the-wisp, mysterious and terrifying.
Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan were about to raise their alertness to its peak. They looked at their surroundings with the help of dim firelight and found themselves standing in a rather narrow corridor, which seemed to be the cabin of the black ship.
Just when Chen Xuan wanted to say something to Shen Binglan, ancient lamps lit up one after another on the walls of the cabin until they reached the end of the cabin.
"Are these weird lights guiding us to somewhere on the ship?"
Chen Xuan suspected that this was caused by the owner of the Ghost Whale.
Shen Binglan nodded in agreement: "At present, it seems that the Ghost Whale has no ill intentions towards us. We might as well follow the light guidance and walk out of the cabin to take a look."
"good."
Although he still couldn't use his magic power and physical strength, Chen Xuan felt that standing still was not an option, so he and Shen Binglan could only take the risk to explore the hull of the ship.
The two of them carefully walked to the end of the cabin, followed the guidance of the ancient lamp, and walked out of a very spacious cabin, which seemed to be the cabin hall of the Ghost Whale.
After entering, Chen Xuan and Shen Binglan were stunned when they saw the scene in the hall.
I saw a huge glass ball floating in the center of the hall. Immediately inside the ball, a group of green flames were beating continuously, and there were faint traces of black arcs flashing inside, which looked extremely weird.
What shocked Chen Xuan even more was that in addition to this mysterious will-o'-the-wisp, there were more than a dozen monks standing at various edges in the hall with equally astonished expressions. Judging from their appearance, both the human monks and the sea demon cultivators were
have.
Chen Xuan glanced at the past and found that Peng Zhi, a monk in the Yuan Ying stage who sold him a copy of "Yuan Soul Pill Technique" nine years ago, was also among them! Now Chen Xuan couldn't help but guess that he had been taken into the Ghost Whale.
Maybe it has something to do with Peng Zhi! At the beginning, Peng Zhi said that he found "Yuanhun Dan Shu" on a certain drifting island. Chen Xuan did not doubt that he was there at the time, and did not look up the relevant books on the drifting island after returning to the sect.
Now it seems that there is some connection between the Ghost Whale and Castaway Island.
Of course, this was just Chen Xuan's own guess. He was thinking about whether to question Peng Zhi, but he saw Peng Zhi showing him a wry smile, as if he was apologizing to him.
Chen Xuan confirmed that this guy must have deceived him about some important information back then.
However, in the current strange scene, Chen Xuan himself had temporarily lost his magic power and physical strength, and he did not know what was happening to Peng Zhi and a dozen other monks, so he did not act rashly.
Just when the atmosphere in the hall was becoming more and more depressing and tense, the will-o'-the-wisp floating in the center of the hall, contained in a glass sphere, suddenly made a hoarse, sharp, extremely ugly but indistinguishable voice: "Jie Jie Jie... Welcome everyone."
Come to the Ghost Whale."
"Who are you?"
A monk with a square face asked in surprise.
"Don't worry...just listen to me."
The voice of the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp has strange power and makes people feel fearful. "Some of you have boarded the Ghost Whale more than once, but more of them are here for the first time. As for why you can board the Ghost Whale, the reason is very simple.
As long as it comes into contact with any monk related to Water Prison Island, the Ghost Whale will be able to find the monk's location and 'invite' him to come on board."
"Hmph, your method is not to invite us on board. I was suddenly pulled in during the process of hunting monsters. Besides, I have never heard of Water Prison Island. If you are the owner of this Ghost Whale,
Master, then tell me your plan directly, don’t beat around the bush!”
A stout human monk asked angrily.
"Jie, Jie, Jie... It is a great opportunity for you to be invited aboard the Ghost Whale. This monk friend, you must cherish it."
The mysterious will-o'-the-wisp made a low smile and continued: "Water Prison Island is what you know as the Drifting Island. Even if you have never been to the island before, as long as you have any objects on the island in your hand, you will be invited by the Ghost Whale. Of course,
It also includes those monks who were pulled into the ship, but those monks who have not had any interaction with Water Prison Island before get on the ship will have a lower chance of survival."
Hearing what the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp said, the dozen or so monks in the hall were frightened again.
None of them can use their magic or physical strength, which means that their lives are now in the hands of this mysterious will-o'-the-wisp. How can they not be frightened?
Chen Xuan was even more worried about Shen Binglan, because Shen Binglan was dragged into the Ghost Whale as the mysterious will-o'-the-wisp said.
