It wasn't just Lu Mingyuan and the others who saw the mysterious Ancient Ship; the many fellow Cultivators on deck saw it as well.
One of the young Daoists felt the hair on his body stand on end. "What's going on?" he asked, astonished. "Why does it look like that ship is covered in pale skeletons, with what seems to be hundreds or thousands of Ghosts walking on it?"
Li Muwan, who had also seen the horrifying scene on the other ship, grew pale. In a low voice, she said, "I once heard from one of the locals that over the past millennium, many overconfident Cultivators have tried to brave the Returning Ruins Silent Sea without a Divine Stone. They met a tragic end and were forever lost to these waters.
Obviously, this Ancient Ship heading toward us is a ship of the dead. Its crew were once Cultivators exploring the Returning Ruins Silent Sea. Now they've been possessed by Immortal Evil Thought. They are extremely dangerous. Don't let them get close! We need to turn back, now!"
