Chapter 718: Section 505: Fin Spirit: ?!
White Hair Sea Trench.
The Transmission Blood Sacrifice had been underway for some time, and more and more Believers were gathering around the Gold altar.
The Fin Spirit’s face was as still as water, cursing in her heart, "Xu Jia, I will never let you die an easy death!"
Now, in the world of the Fin Spirit, the enemy she hated the most was Cang Xu, without a doubt.
The ship ghost sighed, "It’s about time for this group of people to be transported back."
He stood right beside the Fin Spirit, taking in her every expression.
"The Fin Spirit’s obsession is the Da Ji Tribe. Her hatred for Xu Jia is irreconcilable."
The ship ghost understood: Ghosts could indeed be continuously created through the Soul Summoning Technique, but these manufactured ghosts lost much of their spirit and nearly all of their memories from before death. Only a few with intense obsessions retained most of their spirit and memories and thus, through Cultivation, became Undead Mages.
The Fin Spirit, Little Prince, and Ku Feng were no exceptions.
And only such Undead Life could be considered intelligent life.
From the ship ghost’s perspective, he could understand this act of revenge by Xu Jia. However, despite his understanding, he also felt disgust and hate towards Cang Xu.
This is the natural feeling of a Superior when they see their subordinates acting on their own initiative, triggering events beyond their control.
Of course, the ship ghost’s disgust for the Fin Spirit was no less than for Cang Xu.
Previously, Cang Xu’s words had struck a chord with the ship ghost’s psyche. Having attempted to rescue the Fin Spirit, the ship ghost had been captured by Zhou Zhang and faced a deadly predicament. Could he not hate or detest the Fin Spirit?
He was a Superior, and to him the Fin Spirit was merely a subjugate, even an Undead pet. The owner facing death because of a subordinate or a pet, the ship ghost’s thoughts on this were obvious.
Yet the ship ghost did not show it.
He was very hypocritical and had a knack for deception.
Combining his previous care for others, there were no slips; he had thoroughly deceived the Fin Spirit and company.
Only Cang Xu saw through the ship ghost’s true nature.
The ship ghost continued to deceive the Fin Spirit, which also perfectly aligned with his own interests. After all, should they fall out, he would lose the Fin Spirit’s valuable manpower. In this current situation, the ship ghost very much needed others’ help to fabricate memories together.
Thus, he found the present situation to be quite troublesome.
This internal conflict was extremely acute, fundamentally irreconcilable.
"Better to just drag it out and wait for a more opportune moment to resolve it."
"Right now, the most critical thing is fabricating memories, which is the key to my survival!"
The ship ghost had already resolved, in secret, to adopt a strategy of procrastination and dilution regarding the conflict between Xu Jia and the Fin Spirit, calming both sides to prevent the conflict from escalating. Instead, he would focus on soothing the conflict and uniting everyone’s efforts to push forward the great escape plan of fabricating memories.
Zhou Zhang was also waiting.
She was very interested in the transmission process, feeling anticipation. She had presided over many Blood Sacrifices, which had gradually become tedious, and this was a rare seasoning.
Some also questioned Zhou Zhang’s selection this time.
After all, a fair number of Mei Lan Believers were eager to take part in the Transmission Blood Sacrifice. But this time, Zhou Zhang had allowed the Da Ji Tribe to participate, taking up many spots.
But what of it, despite many questions?
At most, some grumbles were shared, but when it came to actions of concrete opposition, no one dared to act.
Zhou Zhang’s strength as Holy Domain Level suppressed everything.
Not only that, but the octopus Zhang Yuwan and beer-arm were both mighty Gold Level warriors, second only to Zhou Zhang.
This is the world of the strong.
Led by Zhou Zhang, the three Transcendents had the strongest combat power, which solidified their position as unshakable as Mount Tai, with no one able to disturb it.
In everyone’s anticipation, spatial fluctuations began to appear.
One by one, members of the Da Ji Tribe appeared, their numbers gradually increasing.
The watching Believers’ expressions began to show surprise, and some started to murmur.
The return of so many Fishmen was beyond many people’s expectations!
Zhou Zhang’s eyes twinkled with a faint glint, and she immediately understood that something must have happened.
In the end, dozens of members from the Da Ji Tribe actually returned!
Such a situation was indeed rare.
"Could it be that the entire Da Ji Tribe’s Faith in our lord is so strong and unwavering?!" exclaimed a Mei Lan Believer.
Others began to flatter Zhou Zhang, thinking she had an eye for talent, not expecting the Da Ji Tribe to be such a good tribe.
Fin Spirit felt as if she had been hit by a massive wave of happiness!
The joy was so intense it even made her feel slightly dizzy.
When she saw a familiar figure, she quickly suppressed the smile on her face and turned cold.
The person she saw was Cang Xu.
Fin Spirit let out a shrill laugh and cursed loudly, "Xu Jia, it’s your fault that hundreds of people from my Da Ji Tribe died. I will repay this debt a hundredfold! But you didn’t expect this, hahaha, my Da Ji Tribe’s Faith in the god Mei Lan has withstood the test."
"You wanted to exterminate us, but your plan has failed!"
The Da Ji Tribe was severely weakened, but there were quite a few members left, so it couldn’t be considered exterminated. Given time, combined with the Fishmen’s strong reproductive ability, they could recover.
Cang Xu looked at Fin Spirit with a calm face, even with a touch of strangeness.
The next moment, Fishmen from the Da Ji Tribe suddenly knelt before Cang Xu’s feet, continuously kowtowing and shouting, "Lord Xu Jia, I owe my life to you! You are my savior!!"
Fin Spirit: ?!
The Fishmen prostrating at Cang Xu’s feet were only a handful.
Most of the Da Ji Tribe Fishmen had complex expressions, looking at Cang Xu, they said, "I survived this time because of you, Xu Jia. But the hatred toward our tribe isn’t so easily dispelled."
"According to the rules of the sea, I will not seek revenge on you, but my descendants will not forget this hatred!"
Fin Spirit: ??!!
The clan leader of the Da Ji Tribe, Qi Ren, had a complicated expression, he looked at Cang Xu and said nothing.
Standing not far from him, Qi Shu shouted, "Even if it was you who guided me to convert and saved my life, you indirectly caused the death of hundreds of our people. Don’t think you can just wipe the slate clean, I will kill you to avenge my people. But after killing you, I will also take my own life, to repay the life debt to you!"
Fin Spirit: ???!!!
Her face contorted involuntarily, unable to understand and she screamed out in a high-pitched voice, asking, "Damn it, what on earth happened here?!"
Not only was she curious, so were the others.
The grudge between Xu Jia and the Da Ji Tribe was well known. But after this Transmission Blood Sacrifice, an odd situation like the one before them had arisen.
"It was Xu Jia who guided me to convert to our lord."
"He saved many people, including the Clan Leader, the great warriors, and the Priest."
"Without him, it wouldn’t have been possible for so many of us to survive."
"He even personally stopped the Holy Beast from slaughtering us..."
