After Liu You was taken back to the boat, she was locked in the bottommost cabin. The three men with the scar took turns going in for several days. No one knew how badly they had tortured her.
If someone familiar with Liu You came to seek revenge, none of the people on this boat would be able to escape!
Moreover, Shen Qing in front of her had an outstanding appearance. Almost instantly, the Plum Blossom Lady regarded Shen Qing as one of Liu You's fellow disciples.
So the Plum Blossom Lady immediately betrayed the three men with the scar and shouted, "My lady immortal, you're here to rescue Sister Liu You, right?!"
"Sister Liu You has been tortured terribly by those three over there. I wanted to save her, but I'm no match for them. The wrongdoer should bear the blame. You can go seek revenge on them!"
The three men with the scar's expressions changed drastically. They were so angry that their faces turned ashen. They cursed at the Plum Blossom Lady, "You bitch, what are you talking nonsense about! Liu You did it voluntarily. We just took her in because she was alone and helpless!"
"My lady immortal, Liu You is your junior sister, right? Do you know she has a Dao partner? It was this Plum Blossom Lady who killed her Dao partner!"
The Plum Blossom Lady almost forgot about Nian Duanyan. Fear began to cloud her eyes.
"No! It's not like this..."
Seeing the two sides start to turn on each other like dogs, Shen Qing watched them leisurely.
She hadn't even said a word yet, but they had misunderstood. However, Shen Qing had no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding.
Shen Qing gently pointed her sword in the direction of the Plum Blossom Lady and the man with the scar. Immediately, the ice on their bodies melted.
The two shivered from the cold but didn't dare to say much. They crawled towards Shen Qing, constantly begging for mercy.
Shen Qing took a step back and looked at them with disgust.
None of the people on this boat was a good person.
The babies in the Plum Blossom Lady's bag were all her own children. After giving birth to them using a secret method, this cruel mother used a secret technique to refine them into Gu babies. Such evil magic was simply intolerable.
As for the man with the scar, he was originally a demonic cultivator. The Buddhist scriptures on him were just to suppress his inner bloodthirst and darkness. He was by no means a Buddhist cultivator.
Their hands were stained with countless lives and blood.
Not to mention, they had no respect for the creatures in the sea at all. People like them would only climb up by any means necessary and would never achieve the Great Dao.
From the very beginning, Shen Qing had no intention of letting them go. However, there was no need for her to kill them with her own hands.
So Shen Qing curled her lips and said softly, "So what should I do? I can't tell which of you is telling the truth. Well..."
"I'll give you a chance. The one who survives will get a way out from me."
The Plum Blossom Lady and the man with the scar glanced at each other, both filled with a strong desire to survive.
Then, the two leaped up at the same time. The Plum Blossom Lady quickly ran towards her backpack and released the Gu babies inside.
The man with the scar picked up his mountain-shaking axe and hacked at the Plum Blossom Lady.
To avoid getting splashed with blood, Shen Qing lightly leaped and stood on the railing.
After standing there, Shen Qing noticed that there was a large ship not far away. There was a big crane family emblem on the ship.
Shen Qing immediately knew how Pei Xuanjing and the others had come here.
But Shen Qing only took a glance and then withdrew her gaze. She didn't care.
After Pei Xuanjing brought He Yu back to the ship, he immediately treated He Yu's wounds and fed him pills. He let He Yu sit by the fire. Seeing that He Yu's complexion had improved, he finally had time to treat his own wounds.
Fortunately, the ship hadn't drifted too far away because of the commotion they had caused. Otherwise, he would have had to go to the trouble of looking for it.
Now what he was more worried about was Shen Chuyun's situation.
"Senior Brother, I'm fine. I'll go with you to look for Junior Brother Four."
He Yu was shivering from the cold. His teeth were chattering non-stop, but he still managed to get up and wanted to help.
Pei Xuanjing quickly pressed him down, "You're in no condition to go looking for someone. I don't want to have to take care of you if something happens to you. Just stay here and watch the ship."
After saying that, he jumped off the ship without hesitation.
He Yu sighed and began to meditate to dispel the cold in his body.
Fortunately, he had an ice spiritual root. Otherwise, the cold accumulated in his body would definitely have an impact on his meridians.
Recalling what had happened in the water just now, He Yu didn't know whether he was more disappointed or angry.
He hadn't expected that Shen Qing would progress so quickly. Like him, she was also a cultivator with an ice spiritual root. He had underestimated Shen Qing before.
But one thing was one thing. Shen Qing's actions in the water had almost killed him and Pei Xuanjing. This made He Yu feel as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. He was extremely disappointed.
They had clearly come to the South Sea for Shen Qing. If it weren't for looking for her, he wouldn't have been injured, Shen Chuyun wouldn't have gone missing, and Pei Xuanjing wouldn't have been in such a mess.
They had done so much, so why couldn't Shen Qing forgive them!
Li Xian was in the water. He watched as Chen Xi properly sank the giant octopus's body to the bottom of the sea and saw him off for the last time. After that, he took Chen Xi and swam towards the surface of the sea to look for Shen Qing.
When he turned around, he just happened to run into Pei Xuanjing, who had jumped down.
The two looked at each other in the water. Pei Xuanjing thought for a while and still reached out to stop Li Xian.
Before he could express his intention, Li Xian spoke first, "If you're hoping for me to help look for Shen Chuyun, forget it. This good-for-nothing younger brother of Shen Qing is dispensable."
Pei Xuanjing was greatly shocked and almost couldn't hold his breath.
Firstly, he was shocked that Li Xian could transmit his voice so clearly in the water. Secondly, he hadn't expected that Li Xian would be so heartless. Knowing that Shen Chuyun was missing and his life or death was unknown, he was still so绝情.
Under Pei Xuanjing's shocked gaze, Li Xian left without hesitation, leaving only a string of bubbles.
Pei Xuanjing had no choice but to swim down to the bottom of the sea by himself.
When Li Xian leaped out of the water, he casually made a hand gesture to dry his clothes.
By now, the deck of the Nian family's ship was covered in stinking, thick blood.
The man with the scar had discovered the weakness of the Gu babies - they were afraid of water and ice. Taking advantage of this weakness, most of the Plum Blossom Lady's Gu babies had been killed. The deck was covered in the blood of the Gu babies.
"What's this?"
Li Xian glanced at Shen Qing and was a little surprised by her actions. She was never one to enjoy watching such a show.
Shen Qing's gaze drifted into the distance, and she replied in a low voice, "These people have never respected life. I'm just giving them a lesson."
Li Xian nodded and reached out to smooth Shen Qing's hair, "Don't be angry. It's not worth it."
After saying that, Li Xian hesitated for a moment but still told Shen Qing what he had seen Pei Xuanjing in the water just now.
Shen Qing rolled her eyes in annoyance and pointed at a lump on the deck.
There was a person lying there, mixed up with the fishing net and frozen in ice.
"I noticed as soon as I came up. Shen Chuyun is over there."
Shen Qing guessed that when these people passed by here, they sensed that there were sea beasts and red silk pearl fish below, so they cast the net. But somehow, they had fished Shen Chuyun up.
Shen Chuyun was fine. As for Pei Xuanjing, let him soak in the sea for a while longer.
