Chapter 601

Treacherous Waters (Part 1)

Ghost Gate resumed their voyage once Elder Chi Long gave directions and the wind picked up after stalling for an hour. Mu Yu’s characters stalked them for a visual, while Gui Dingtian moved the shell. Ghost Gate soon stopped again. They continued moving and stopping on the boundless body of water for three days before they knew it.

The waves they encountered on the fourth day qualified as violent, and the fluff in the sky in that part of the ocean was grey. Though the shell saved them from any rocking, the gloomy mood still got to them.

“Why has Ghost Gate been sitting around meditating all day? Are they lost?” muttered the dragon vine.

Ghost Gate’s teams showed admirable discipline, meditating without letting anything distracting them. Gui Hongyu took care of the nine crying infants unable to stand the sounds of the violent waves as best as she could. She jumped into the water to fetch a dolphin and used an unknown method of holding it in the air to feed the nine infants with its milk.

“Gui Hongyu isn’t so bad, after all, is she?” asked Qiao Xue.

“Yeah, at the very least, the nine infant r-” – Qiao Xue nudged Mu Yu – “Ghost Gate always do things with some evil goal in mind. They’d kill the infants the moment the nine were no longer useful. If we don’t save them, they’ll die.”

“You don’t need to explain. I know what you’re thinking,” responded Qiao Xue, fiddling with her Wood Spirit.

“I can’t stop Ghost Gate from imposing their will on the nine kids. If their nine lives can help us reach Sacred Island, sacrificing even ninety human infants would be worth it,” Long Xingyun chimed in.

Mu Yu looked to Long Xingyun through the corner of his eyes and insulted, “Not surprising, coming from a scumbag.”

“Don’t you dare insult me!”

“Don’t you dare speak up as if you’re a scumbag. You insult the term.”

“They’re fakes?!”

The other fiends rushed over to hear Mu Yu explain, “They must’ve noticed we were tailing them. Damn it, they got us good!”

“If they noticed us tailing them, why didn’t Gui Yeming address us? He’s strong enough to stop all of us. Why did they need to set up this trap?” queried Lu Xiong.

“Maybe it’s because Qiao Xue has the terrain on her side,” guessed Gui Dingtian.

Qiao Xue removed her water spirit from Mu Yu’s sword and converted it into a sky-blue screen, placing it into the water. Her eyes enlarged as she informed, “Something is wrong with this water. I can’t control the water!”

“Of course you can’t.”

Black mist gushed forth from the water surface, pulling the water around the group of fiends a hundred metres above them, forming a water prison!
