Chapter 730: The Origin of the Ancient Ship!

Xiang Heng was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately walked over and grabbed the human face’s hand as if he wanted to pull it out of the wall.
However, in the next moment, he was pulled into the wall by the hand, and the wall vibrated violently.
A trail of blood oozed from the wall.
The whole thing was completed within a blink of an eye, so fast that no one could stop it.
Xiang Heng’s face was added to the wall.
When everyone finally reacted, they took another step back. Xiang Nan looked at the face in disbelief, “Seventh Uncle, y-you…”
Xiang Heng’s death shocked and enraged him at the same time. He had not expected that as a member of the Xiang family, the man would actually have the intention to harm him.
“I’ve suffered here for 20 years, and I’m almost at the end of my rope. Only a certain amount of blood can help me recover.”
The human face reached out its hand again and said sincerely, “Good child, Seventh Uncle can tell that your talent is more powerful than the previous trash. Now that I’ve recovered, save me, save me!”
At that moment, another human face spoke from the side, “Tianya, I’m your Third Uncle. I even carried you when you were young. Save me…”
Without waiting for Luo Tianya to speak, Luo Shuiyao, who was at the side, slashed a sword gleam and immediately chopped off the hand that the human face had extended. She said with extreme resentment, “Go to hell, you old thing!”
“Unfilial child, unfilial child!”
The face suddenly twisted, and it cursed, “You will all die. You will all turn into human faces to accompany us, hahaha…”
“None of you can escape the ghost ship’s curse. All of you will die…”
“Everyone must die…”
“…”
The faces on the wall squirmed violently, and their expressions were filled with resentment. They cursed the crowd nonstop like ghosts crying and wolves howling.
With the previous case, Yuan Qitai no longer dared to save Huo Bei, the previous leader of Banshan. Instead, he asked with a pale face, “What exactly did they experience? How did they become like this?”
Hearing this, everyone could not help but look at Shi Qianhan, because he was the only person who had left Shang Santian alive 20 years ago.
“Don’t look at me, I don’t know either!”
Shi Qianhan’s expression was cold as he said coldly, “20 years ago, I was ambushed by the Xiao Clan as soon as I arrived and was thrown out of the ghost ship. Therefore, I don’t know what happened after that.”
Ye Chen frowned and said, “Clearly, these people are cursed. Their souls and bodies are sealed in the wall. They’ll be in pain and suffering for eternity.”
At this point, he looked at the crowd deeply, “Everyone, I know that some of these faces are related to you, but I advise you not to be soft-hearted. After 20 years of torture, their mentality has already been twisted. You can longer describe them as ‘human’.”
Everyone was speechless, especially Yuan Qitai and the rest. They had gone through untold hardships just to look for the previous leader of the sect, so that they could rise again.
To his surprise, the person he was looking for had turned into an inhuman existence. He even wanted to harm them.
“Oh, this is too sad!”
Master Yizhen placed his palms together and looked very compassionate.
Luo Tianya, who had been silently sizing up the faces on the wall, suddenly said, “Wait, why isn’t there anyone from the Xiao Clan here?”
Ye Chen was confused, “How do you know there’s no Xiao Clan’s members here?”
Luo Tianya said in a deep voice, “Because my family once investigated the group of people who stepped onto the ghost ship 20 years ago, I know all the faces on the wall, but there’s no one from the Xiao Clan!”
Tang Yiming frowned, “That’s strange. All the missing powerhouses have turned into human faces. Why isn’t there anyone from the Xiao Clan?”
At the same time, the entire ancient ship suddenly shook violently. It was as if countless spirits were struggling and squirming, trying to charge into the ghost ship.
A cold voice followed, “It’s very simple, because these faces on my wall are the work of my Xiao Clan!”
Everyone turned around and saw Xiao Yuanjing walking out from the wall behind them.
Compared to his previous sorry state, his brows were currently filled with grim. He seemed to be furious, and he seemed to be filled with resentment.
Luo Tianya narrowed his eyes, “Xiao, what did you just say?”
Xiao Yuanjing looked at them fearlessly with a sinister expression on his face, “Since you guys are about to die, I might as well tell you that the faces on the wall are the work of our Xiao Clan’s powerhouses.”
“What did you say?” Luo Tianya’s expression turned cold.
“More than a hundred years ago, a warship appeared out of nowhere on the Wu River in China. Purple qi filled the sky. The powerhouses of Shang Santian joined forces to investigate the Wu River. Guess what happened?”
Xiao Yuanjing licked his lips and grinned sinisterly, “So this warship doesn’t belong to our world. Every piece of construction material on this warship is a priceless treasure to Shang Santian. There are dozens of martial artists on this warship who are nothing weaker than martial venerables.”
‘Dozens of martial venerables?’
Everyone gasped.
Ye Chen’s eyes flickered a few times. He roughly guessed that the dozens of martial venerables Xiao Yuanjing mentioned were probably Qin Yan and the ghost soldiers that they had encountered earlier.
“Isn’t that shocking?”
Xiao Yuanjing caught everyone’s gaze and smiled coldly, “At that time, the powerhouses of Shang Santian realized that if this group of terrifying forces were to successfully appear, they would definitely become a great threat to Shang Santian!
Therefore, the powerhouses of Shang Santian secretly investigated and discovered that the owner of that warship was actually a middle-aged couple, and those dozens of martial venerables were their subordinates!”
Everyone was shocked again when they heard this. They had dozens of martial venerables under him. Were they Emperor Stage powerhouses?
“The masters of dozens of martial venerables were at least at the Emperor Stage. Therefore, Shang Santian hesitated whether we should attack them. In the end, we discovered that the couple was injured!”
At this point, Xiao Yuanjing’s gaze turned extremely cold, “I found someone in Shang Santian who went ashore to buy medicine for this couple. At that time, a mighty figure of Shang Santian pretended to befriend the person who bought the medicine. After probing, we found out that this couple was seriously injured and was not far from death!
Therefore, the compelling powerhouse of Shang Santian pretended to follow the person who bought the medicine back to the ship. He tossed poison at the middle-aged couple, aggravating their injuries!”
When Luo Shuiyao heard this, her pretty face was livid with rage, “Despicable!”
“So what?”
Xiao Yuanjing grinned coldly, “At the crucial moment, Shang Santian sent out five Emperor Stage powerhouses. Over a hundred martial venerables charged into the warship and killed everyone on it!”
He glanced disdainfully at the Luo siblings, “Back then, your patriarch was also one of the participants. If you’re calling us despicable, how clean can your family be?”
Luo Shuiyao had a look of disbelief, “That’s impossible!”
Luo Tianya fell silent. He was deeply shocked.
