"Good!"
Yue Mei dared not utter a single word of nonsense. She immediately got up and led Ye Xuan away from the lower deck.
The moment Ye Xuan left the lower deck, all the Rogue Cultivator couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Some even began to gasp for breath.
That guy is finally gone.
Being with Ye Xuan puts a lot of pressure on them.
Although Ye Xuan hadn't caused them any trouble, the strong were respected, and Ye Xuan was ruthless in his actions.
They were also terrified that they might accidentally provoke Ye Xuan and be slapped to death.
Led by Yue Mei, Ye Xuan quickly arrived at a room on the third floor.
However, when the two went inside, the room was empty.
Upon seeing this, Yue Mei's face turned deathly pale, and she cried out in terror, "She... she's the one who's been locked up here!"
Ye Xuan didn't say much, just sighed, and returned to the lower deck.
He never expected that the woman who could see through his cultivation of lightning-based supernatural powers would run away.
They did indeed run away, and they hadn't been gone long; Ye Xuan could even sense the aura of the talisman.
Clearly, the woman used a talisman to escape.
Lower deck.
After Ye Xuan returned, he resumed his cultivation and ignored Yue Mei, who had followed him back.
Yue Mei bit her lip, not daring to say anything more, and simply sat down not far from Ye Xuan.
Just kidding, she wouldn't dare go back now.
She betrayed Huang Jingshan here, telling Ye Xuan that Huang Jingshan forced her to come. Who knows if Huang Jingshan heard her?
Half-Saint cultivator is still quite terrifying.
If Huang Jingshan hadn't heard it, all would have been fine, but if he had, she could have just gone back and waited to die.
Ye Xuan was aware of this, so he ignored Yue Mei.
This woman can do whatever she wants, as long as she doesn't disturb his cultivation. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind slapping her to death.
···
"What happened? Why didn't Yue Mei come back? Did she go downstairs with him?"
In Xue Zhaohai's room, Zheng Hong and the others naturally witnessed this scene as well, Zheng Hong couldn't help but ask a question.
Of course, they didn't detect it through the domain, but rather through the monitoring array.
Huang Jingshan's face was somewhat gloomy. He shook his head. "I don't know. Perhaps he kidnapped Yue Mei. After all, Yue Mei is quite attractive."
Zheng Hong nodded. "So, it's very likely that Deacon Xue has already met with some trouble. Otherwise, why would he dare to do this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the space fell silent, and the entire room became completely quiet.
Xue Zhaohai's accident is definitely not a good thing for them.
Not to mention that Xue Zhaohai was the chief steward of the merchant ship, a pivotal figure, and his cultivation had even reached the Perfected Half-Saint.
Most importantly, all the revenue from this merchant ship was with Xue Zhaohai, but now Ye Xuan has taken it all.
How will they explain this once they arrive in the capital?
"Regardless of whether Deacon Xue is actually in trouble or not, we shouldn't provoke that guy for now. Our priority is to keep a close eye on him and keep him calm."
"I'll contact headquarters right now, report this matter, and have them send a strong expert to resolve it."
Zheng Hong's face was gloomy. After a long while, he left with a single sentence.
Huang Jingshan and the others remained silent; no one spoke.
After returning to the basement, Ye Xuan resumed his unrestrained cultivation.
He was truly reckless, completely disregarding the other monks on the merchant ship.
As he cultivated, his 108 meridians circulated wildly, and as countless spirit stones turned to dust, the Spiritual Qi scattered throughout the entire merchant ship and even the world was frantically drawn away.
A substantial vortex quickly formed around Ye Xuan, composed entirely of Spiritual Qi, a truly astonishing sight.
Those Rogue Cultivator are better off; they've already gotten used to it.
When Yue Mei saw this scene, she was utterly shocked beyond words.
She stared at Ye Xuan in horror, her delicate body trembling slightly, her breathing rapid, looking exactly like she had seen a ghost.
"What's going on? Why is it starting again?"
"You damned bastards, so much time has passed, and still no one has resolved this matter? If your Thousand Leaves Merchant Tower can't handle it, then I will personally take care of it."
"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous! Such reckless cultivation, have they even considered how others feel? My millions of spirit stones have been drained of their Spiritual Qi!"
Soon, the entire merchant ship descended into chaos once again.
Countless cultivators emerged from the room, angrily rebuking and clamoring, and once again found the deacons.
Faced with so many guests' provocations, the butlers were quite helpless and could only try to appease them by saying that the problem would be resolved soon, thus stalling for time.
But in fact, they had all received orders not to get involved in this matter.
Although they didn't know the reason, since it was an order from above, they naturally had to obey.
Moreover, even if those powerful figures don't intervene, they can't do anything to Ye Xuan.
As for Xue Zhaohai's accident, the lower-level deacons were unaware of it, because if they knew about it, it would cause panic.
At that point, things will only become more chaotic and harder to manage.
"You insolent bastards! Since your merchant ships won't resolve this, I'll go there myself!"
"I'm going too! I want to see if that brat thinks he can do whatever he wants just because he killed Hu Chuan, daring to be so insolent!"
"For me to go too? This is utterly outrageous! Even if he has become a member of your Thousand Leaves Merchant Tower, you cannot be so presumptuous."
Repeatedly, the merchant ships only tried to smooth things over without resolving the issue.
Those powerful individuals finally couldn't take it anymore.
In an instant, a Half-Saint, three Venerable, more than a dozen Divine Emperor, and dozens of Divine King all rushed towards the bottom warehouse.
A mighty and unstoppable force, with an imposing momentum!
" Deacon Huang, won't this cause any trouble?" Inside the room, a deacon in the Early Half-Saint couldn't help but ask Huang Jingshan after witnessing this scene.
Huang Jingshan said indifferently, "Something happened? Hmph, what does it have to do with us! It's not like we went looking for trouble! Perfect, we can take this opportunity to see that guy's strength and just how powerful he really is."
As for Xue Zhaohai's murder, even now, they still find it hard to believe.
That was Peak Half-Saint! How could he be killed so silently?
This is absolutely absurd.
Huang Jingshan also had a theory that Xue Zhaohai had obtained the lightning-based divine power, but secretly escaped to avoid suspicion.
After all, lightning-based supernatural powers are of paramount importance; even Saint would be tempted by them, let alone Xue Zhaohai.
As for whether Zheng Hong and others had this idea, Huang Jingshan didn't know, but he certainly had this suspicion.
