Chapter 417 414- The Star Bound Continent (3)
"Let go of me! Didn't you hear me I said let off me!!"
One female disciple had come up to Yang Su and the others and began demanding they take responsibility for her Academy's elder dying.
It drew everyone's attention.
One of her male colleague's face went pale and rushed to pull her away resulting in her screams.
After exiting the spatial tear, the journey to the Star Bound Continent was significantly shorter and they would be there in less than a day from the initial four.
During the time they exited the spatial tear, the ship had this festering tension bubbling underneath the surface for some reason. With this female disciple confronting Yang Su and the others that hidden tension began poking its head out for all to notice.
The female disciple was trying to voice her grievances but the male disciple was adamant about not allowing her to.
"You! Do you not feel the same as I do?! These bastards caused our elder's death!"
The female disciple said that with tears in her eyes while pointing accusingly at Yang Su and the others, but more so at Yang Su.
However, that male disciple's face go paler when he saw this. His face then morphed into an angry expression as he barked at her to calm down.
The girl hearing his reprimand was taken aback, her senior brother had never treated her like this before.
Turning to Yang Su and the others, Yang Su specifically, that male disciple said nervously.
"I-I apologize for my junior sister's behavior, I hope fellow brother Faceless Demon does not take it to heart."
Without waiting for a reply, the male disciple then grabbed his junior sister and dragged her away with hastened steps.
Everyone in the group was wearing complicated expressions, but Mu Fan was frowning in annoyance.
But he suddenly felt someone nudge him. He turned to see it was Jun who shook his head.
Despite their current treatment, they couldn't speak out, after all, no matter how you look at it this disaster happened because of them.
It wasn't only the girl that held grievances against them, there were plenty of disciples in groups that were looking at them with anger-filled eyes. However, either one or a few disciples in those groups would hold them back and warn them not to say anything.
The ones who wanted to voice their grievances were confused as to why they were being stopped. But they were the ones who were unconscious during Yang Su's transformation.
The ones who were stopping their fellow disciples were conscious to witness that horrifying scene, and to say they were terrified of Yang Su would be an understatement.
"Please elder brother, you don't know how terrifying that monster is…"
"You dare try to stop me?…"
"You fuckers didn't you hear me say to drop it! Don't mention this matter again!"
"How can you not be angry after that those brats cause our elders to die? Especially that bastard who's called Faceless Demon, what rubbish."
"You-You bastard be quiet, do want to get us to kill?"
"No! We have to get some kind of compensation for losing our elders! Do you think it was easy for us small powers to produce an elder-level powerhouse?!"
The more those angered disciples were held back the stronger their rage became, causing the festering tension to steadily increase.
This was how riots start.
Shi Lei Hu who was observing this from an elevated position could only sigh, there was nothing he could do because this was the conflict of the younger generation. An old man like him didn't have the right to forcefully use his authority to stop them.
He could only do so if it got out of hand and affected the ship's journey to the Star Bound Continent.
Meanwhile the ship was slowly devolving into a mess, Long Feng suddenly exited from the rooms on the ship with a yawn.
He was afraid that he would be seen so he had been hiding all this while. However, he found it boring to just sit in his room so he decided to knock out a disciple and steal his clothes before dawning a disguise.
"That damn bastard. He actually forced me to stay cooped up in that stuffy room."
Long Feng said slightly angrily after finishing his yawn.
He began looking around for Lan Yu Ze.
To get him on this ship, Ln Yu Ze bribed one of the Mercenary Association staff members, which forced Long Feng to hide from other people on the ship like he was a fugitive.
However, as Long Feng began looking around, he was surprised to feel the tension on the ship. He also realized a few more things, like how damaged the ship was and how there weren't as many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators on the ship as before.
As Long Feng was observing this, a groggy Xiao came up behind him and held his sleeve while rubbing his eyes.
Long Feng frowned and turned to look down at him.
"Didn't I say to stay inside? And why aren't you wearing your veil hat? what if someone notices your presence? It'll be troublesome."
"But it's no fun inside, and I'm tired of wearing that thing."
Xiao said while pouting.
Long Feng sighed.
'I guess it's fine since there aren't that many Nascent Soul Realm cultivars on the ship anymore. It's just that Soul Transformation Realm I have to be careful of. But who is he and where's that other one?'
The more Long Feng observe the more confused he became.
"E-Elder brother Long, is that you?"
Long Feng turned to his left to see Lan Yu Ze hesitantly approaching him.
"Tell me what happened."
Hearing the familiar voice, Lan Yu Ze smiled.
He wasn't sure it was Long Feng because of his disguise but he was 90% sure since he saw a small Xiao with him.
"Elder brother Long, it's like this…"
Lan Yu Ze then began narrating the events of what happened after Long Feng hid in his room.
Long Feng had indeed sensed something was up from the ship suddenly stopping twice, but with the runes on the wall of the rooms that restrict Soul Sense for privacy reasons, he didn't know it was to this extent.
After finishing, Lan Yu Ze said.
"Elder brother Long, I was only able to remain conscious to tell you this because of the Soul Protection treasure you gave me, however…"
Lan Yu Ze wore a pained expression as he continued.
"However, brother Long, I was unable to activate it in time to protect my soul so-"
Lan Yu Ze didn't get to finish his words as Long Feng randomly tossed a blue pill from out of nowhere, unconcern if Lan Yu Ze caught it or not.
However, Lan Yu Ze like he was already used to this immediately stopped talking and pounce on the blue pill like a starving dog that had finally been given food by its master.
A fragrant aroma that would cause one to a feel cooling sensation in their soul permeated the surroundings.
Lan Yu Ze quickly caught it and stuffed it into his mouth. Instantly he felt the pill dissolve and spread throughout his body before rushing to his Sea of Consciousness where his soul was.
Lan Yu Ze felt an ecstasy-like feeling as the energy from the pill washed over his soul. His injured soul which was transparent condensed a bit. This resulted in his soul strengthening as well as his Spiritual Sense's range and density increasing.
After a few seconds, Lan Yu Ze opened his eyes from his state of ecstasy. Even though that wasn't the first time he had taken this pill, he was just as shocked by its effects as the first time.
As a Core Formation cultivator, his main focus was to strengthen his soul. When he reached the peak of the Core Formation Realm he'll have an easier time condensing his Nascent Soul and entering the Nascent Soul Realm.
'Just what is this pill? He said it was called a Soul Nourishing pill but I've never heard of or seen a pill like this before. Of all the types of soul-strengthening pills I've consumed, this is by far the one with the greatest benefits.'
Lan Yu Ze felt how stronger his soul had become with that pill and he clenched his fist in excitement.
'The decision to befriend this person was the single most important decision I've ever made in my life! He's definitely not from our Maple Continent, from the way he's causally treating those precious pills he must be a scion from an absurdly wealthy family on another continent.'
As Lan Yu Ze was thinking this, Tai saw how Long Feng had given away the Soul Nourishing pill and he pulled on his sleeves with a pout while holding out his hand.
Long Feng rolled his eyes, but he still flipped over his palm and retrieved a small bowl from his storage ring. By the time he handed the empty bowl to Xiao, it was suddenly filled to the brim with Soul Nourishing pills.
Lan Yu Ze seeing this started breathing heavily.
'He's basically treating it like some candy one can find at a common stall on the side of the street!'
Long Feng flipped over his palm once more and retrieved a familiar bottle gourd before giving it to Xiao.
"Now don't bother me until you finish that."
Long Feng said before he turned to observe how the situation on the ship was developing.
Xiao with the bowl balanced between his chest and arm while holding the bottle gourd in the same hand, reached into the bowl with his other hand to plop one of the blue Soul Nourishing pills in his mouth.
However, before he could, he saw Lan Yu Ze staring intently at his hand from the corner of his eyes.
Xiao paused putting the Soul Nourishing pill in his mouth and suddenly began moving his hand from side to side.
Lan Yu Ze's head moved along with his hand and Xiao seeing this giggled.
He then flicked his hand and the Soul Nourishing pill was sent flying into the air.
Lan Yu Ze's eyes visible lit up before he jumped into the air after the pill. His jaw made a strong snapping sound as he directly caught the pill in his mouth.
Xiao giggled even harder upon seeing Lan Yu Ze's weird actions.
'This elder brother is really funny.'
Xiao thought as he threw out another pill, wanting to see what other weird things Lan Yu Ze would do. It was like Lan Yu Ze had become a dog doing tricks to get a treat.
