"Boom! Crack!" A thunderbolt struck, and a sound of wood being split by lightning came from the deck outside.

Almost instantly, the eight people in the cabin rushed out. Only Mo Wuji and the young girl didn't move. The girl, who hadn't moved, also stood up, seemingly because her cultivation was slightly behind.

Mo Wuji didn't move because his spiritual sense had already scanned the outside. Indeed, a thunderbolt had cracked the ship's deck. However, it was just a crack, and the ship wouldn't sink immediately. It could barely hold on for a while. Mo Wuji sighed inwardly. He had finally found a ship, but it looked like he wouldn't be able to stay on it for long.

The girl saw that Mo Wuji wasn't moving and hesitated before sitting down again. Although she glanced at Mo Wuji, she quickly lowered her head. Mo Wuji still saw clearly that the girl's face was pockmarked and quite unsightly. It didn't look like she had been disfigured; it was probably congenital.

Soon, the eight who had gone out quickly returned. They had seen the situation clearly. Although the deck was cracked, the ship could still hold on for a while.

Through the eight people's movements, Mo Wuji had already sensed their strength. The monk and the dark-faced burly man were at least at the sixth level of Detachment, while the two men and one woman who were drinking were all in the Detachment Realm. The couple sitting at the door, the man was probably just entering Detachment, and the woman was probably still in the Spirit Building Realm.

The only one whose cultivation Mo Wuji couldn't see through was the old man who looked like the girl's grandfather. His strength was a bit strange.

"Big brother, why didn't you go out to take a look just now?" Seeing that Mo Wuji hadn't moved after entering, and hadn't even gone out when the ship was about to capsize, the woman from the young couple asked cautiously.

"Yan'er..." The man heard the woman asking Mo Wuji, a stranger, and quickly whispered, then pulled her hand.

Mo Wuji didn't mind. He still had a good impression of this woman. Even though the woman said that the few mortal boatmen weren't worth saving, it also showed that she was a very kind person. On the other hand, the young man was too cautious and seemed a little cowardly.

He wondered what this couple was doing coming to this place. The spiritual energy in this sea area was scarce, and there wouldn't be anything good here.

"Friend, I'm sorry, my wife doesn't know the rules," the man said apologetically to Mo Wuji.

Mo Wuji smiled slightly, "It's nothing. I was too slow. By the time I was ready to go up, you had all come back in."

"Haha! What this friend said makes us look like we're afraid of death. The friend is right. Whether we go out to look or not, the ship will capsize anyway. There's no use going out to look," the dark-faced burly man laughed and echoed Mo Wuji's words.

Mo Wuji was about to speak when he heard another loud crash of waves outside, followed by a continuous "crack, crack" sound.

Mo Wuji's spiritual sense discovered that the waves had directly smashed a hole in the front of the ship, indicating that the ship could only last for a few more minutes at most.

Feeling somewhat helpless, Mo Wuji stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "There was another crashing sound just now. I'll go take a look."

Because Mo Wuji didn't go out the first time, and everyone found that the ship could still float, this time when Mo Wuji went out, the others hesitated.

The woman named Yan'er also stood up, "Xuan-ge, let's go out and take a look too."

Although the man was cautious, he didn't dare to be careless about this kind of thing. As soon as the woman said this, he immediately stood up and went to the deck with her.

When the two saw that the deck was already cracked and seawater was slowly seeping in, they immediately panicked. Even though they were cultivators, in the boundless sea, if they couldn't find direction, they would eventually die in the sea.

"Xuan-ge, what do we do now?" The woman named Yan'er's face turned even paler.

At this moment, footsteps came from behind, and the rest of the people in the cabin came up one after another. When everyone saw that the ship was about to sink, their faces turned ugly.

"Everyone, look, there's a ship coming..." A surprised voice immediately excited everyone.

The first to see the ship was the woman among the three drinking men and women. She was excitedly pointing at the sea.

"There really is a ship..." Everyone saw clearly that the ship seemed to be coming towards them.

Mo Wuji also saw the ship, which was more than ten times larger than the one under their feet, a real behemoth.

The ship was at least several hundred meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide. Even from a distance, Mo Wuji could see that the deck was very spacious and clean, with only traces of rain and no garbage or scratches. What puzzled Mo Wuji was that he didn't see anyone on the ship.

In the raging storm, the two ships were getting closer and closer.

"Boom! Crack!" Another huge wave crashed over, and the ship under Mo Wuji and the others' feet directly broke apart. The ship tilted, and seawater poured in frantically.

The people on the broken ship jumped up one after another, directly crossing several feet of distance and landing on the large sea ship. Only Mo Wuji hadn't moved. He suddenly felt something was strange, as if they were about to fall asleep and a pillow immediately appeared, and the pillow just happened to be under their head when they fell asleep.

The large sea ship was that pillow. When their ship was about to sink, the large ship came. Not only did it come, but its direction was also perfect.

"Hurry up and come up, that ship is about to sink," the woman named Yan'er shouted anxiously when she saw that Mo Wuji hadn't moved.

Mo Wuji knew that even if it was strange, he had to go up. At this moment, the large ship was close to the ship where Mo Wuji was, and Mo Wuji almost jumped a little higher and got on the large sea ship.

As soon as he got on the ship, Mo Wuji's spiritual sense instantly penetrated every corner of the large sea ship. Soon, Mo Wuji was shocked to discover that not only was there no one on the deck, but there was also no one inside the sea ship, and there were no traces of fighting. The many rooms in the sea ship were empty, and there were still many grains, oils, and rice in the kitchen.

Where had the people on this ship gone?

The device that drove the sea ship was quickly found by Mo Wuji's spiritual sense. What surprised Mo Wuji was that the sea ship was controlled by a formation disk to start the sails. The formation disk was very simple, not even at the beginner level, and he could easily control the sea ship to move forward.

It wasn't just Mo Wuji who was observing this large sea ship; the other nine people were also observing it. The strange situation on the sea ship had been discovered by everyone. All nine people were like Mo Wuji, standing on the deck, and no one entered the cabin levels.

"Excuse me, is there anyone here? Our ship cracked at sea and we want to stop on your ship," the middle-aged man said as he cupped his fist towards the ship cabin and shouted loudly.

His voice was sent out with Yuan energy, so even if the ship was large, it should be able to reach every corner. After the man finished speaking, the sea ship was still very quiet, without any sound.

Mo Wuji knew that no one would answer, because there was no one in the ship. A ship with no one on it, yet so clean and complete, and with food inside, made Mo Wuji's scalp tingle a bit.

"Friends, we are all gathered together because of the shipwreck. I think at this time we should work together to overcome the difficulties. Let me introduce myself first, my name is Jiang Xiaopeng, these two are Meng Zhi and Qi Susu," the middle-aged man immediately turned around and cupped his fists to the others after shouting to the ship cabin without getting an answer.

Mo Wuji realized after hearing Jiang Xiaopeng's words that everyone was like him, suddenly coming on board. It seemed that everyone didn't know each other before getting on the ship.

The monk first called out a Buddhist chant, and then said, "Everyone can call this old monk Smiling Monk. This old monk likes to smile the most, and also likes to tell jokes. Although I don't have any skills, when everyone is tired, this old monk can tell a few jokes."

Everyone was speechless. This was the first time the monk had spoken, and they didn't know where his love for smiling and telling jokes came from. Perhaps his sentence was a joke in itself.

The dark-faced burly man said straightforwardly, "My name is Pu Qian, and I am a rogue cultivator. What Brother Jiang said just now is correct. At this time, everyone should work together. I don't have any schemes or tricks, but I have a little strength to contribute."

"My name is Qi Wenxuan, this is my wife, Zhuang Yan. As long as there is a place where my wife and I can be of use, my wife and I will definitely not back down," the young man said quickly.

After the young man finished speaking, the old man also cupped his fists in a hoarse voice, "This old man is useless, barely escaped with his life. If Brother Jiang has any assignments, I will naturally not lag behind."

"Please tell us your name, so that everyone can address you," Jiang Xiaopeng said again, seeing that the old man didn't say his name.

"Just call this old man Gouzi, and this old man's granddaughter, Vinegar Pot, is easier to remember," the old man smiled honestly.

Gouzi and Vinegar Pot, Mo Wuji thought to himself, sure enough, the more you travel, the more you see. These two names are indeed easy to remember.

Seeing Jiang Xiaopeng's gaze turning to him, Mo Wuji cupped his fists, "I am a rogue cultivator, just call me Mo Wuji."

Jiang Xiaopeng frowned slightly, because Mo Wuji didn't express his position, which made him a little dissatisfied. Although Mo Wuji looked like he had low cultivation, he always felt that Mo Wuji was not easy to bully. So although Mo Wuji didn't perform well, he didn't say much.

"Friends, this ship appeared extremely strangely, and there is no one inside now. My suggestion is that everyone team up to check the ship, and then discuss it," Jiang Xiaopeng said his thoughts after initially gaining everyone's approval.

Jiang Xiaopeng's words were unanimously approved by everyone. Although Mo Wuji didn't want to do such meaningless things, since everyone agreed, he could only agree as well.

There were many rooms on the sea ship, and most of the rooms gave the impression of being clean and spacious.

When everyone was inspecting, Mo Wuji always stood at the end, because his spiritual sense had already observed these places.

An hour later, everyone arrived at the kitchen. Mo Wuji's spiritual sense had also seen the kitchen, and it was very normal, with things like firewood, rice, oil, and salt. Mo Wuji believed that when others saw these things, they would think it was normal, just like him. But Mo Wuji, who was standing at the end, saw the girl called Vinegar Pot frowning slightly, and even subconsciously taking a few steps back.
