Just as the voice fell, the two men suddenly felt heavy on their feet and light on their heads, and they stood up from lying down. The coffin boat suddenly stood up, then quickly fell down, and turned over in a big somersault!

Hua Cheng held Xie Lian's waist tightly with one hand and placed his other hand on his head to protect him, saying, "Hold on to me!"

If it were outside, Xie Lian could handle it three times as much as it was now. The bad thing was that he was confined to a small space and couldn’t move his hands and feet. He didn’t know what he had encountered outside. He could only concentrate and be on guard, secretly worried, and said, “What if the coffin boat breaks?!”

Hua Cheng said: "It's okay. Don't be afraid if it breaks. With me, you won't sink!"

They were so close to each other that Hua Cheng almost kissed his hair as he said this. Xie Lian could even feel the slight vibration coming from his Adam's apple. His mind was slightly distracted, and then, he was distracted by the violent rolling of the coffin boat. The boat seemed to have become a child's toy, being held in the hands of a 13-year-old child and shaken and swung wildly. As a last resort, Xie Lian hugged Hua Cheng tightly with one hand and held the coffin tightly with the other.

In the chaos, the two of them went up and down, turned over and over, and changed positions several times, hitting and rubbing all over each other's bodies. Although Hua Cheng looked like a teenager, you would not know until you were hit by him for so long that you would know that he was hard all over. Xie Lian was tormented so hard that he saw stars. When he finally felt calm for a while, he found that he had been pressed down by Hua Cheng, and his body was so heavy that he could hardly breathe. Xie Lian barely raised one hand and grabbed Hua Cheng's strong forearm that supported his side. He groaned softly and said dizzily: "Is that enough..."

For some reason, Hua Cheng didn't reply. Before Xie Lian finished his sentence, his breathing suddenly stopped. This was because he suddenly realized that something unusual had happened somewhere in his body.

“…………………………”

In an instant, Xie Lian felt even more incredible than when he saw the iron tree blossom. At least, when he saw the iron tree blossom, his mind wouldn’t be blank like it is now.

The shame and embarrassment gathered into a storm more violent than the one outside the coffin, beating him to pieces. Xie Lian hurriedly bent his knees, but the position was not right. When he bent his knees, he seemed to touch something that he shouldn't touch, causing Hua Cheng to shout, "Don't move!"

His voice was so strong that Xie Lian hurriedly pulled his legs back. But if he didn’t bend his knees, he was afraid that Hua Cheng would notice his body’s reaction at this moment. It would be better to just bump his head into the coffin and die. He could have explained it by saying “I couldn’t help myself”, but the embarrassing thing was that he had just experienced it on the island. Once or twice, it could be said to be unintentional, but three or four times, how could he explain it? !

In a hurry, Xie Lian blurted out, “No! Sanlang…don’t touch me!”

After a moment of silence, Hua Cheng said in a deep voice: "Okay. Let's go out."

Xie Lian felt as if he had been pardoned, and said, “Get out!”

Suddenly, a strong feeling of weightlessness came over them, and the coffin boat they were in actually flew into the air!

At the same time, Hua Cheng and Xie Lian each slapped the inner wall of the coffin, and the coffin boat immediately broke into pieces. The two escaped from the boat and jumped out. Under the moonlight, Xie Lian looked back and saw a giant water dragon holding the broken coffin in its mouth, roaring in the heavy rain, as if a mouthful of fangs had crushed food and found it was an empty box, and was very angry. Just now, it must have been this water dragon that bit the coffin boat and swung it wildly, tossing it back and forth.

The coffin boat had already gone out to sea and drifted for a while, but was picked up by a water dragon. The two landed and returned to Blackwater Island. Two figures appeared on the coast, they were the water master Wudu and General Pei Ming. Wudu had not yet put away his seal, facing the wind and rain, and seemed to want to summon the water dragon. Pei Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Shui! Brother Shui, take it easy! This round is over, and we don't know when the next round will come, so save some strength."

It turned out that the sudden downpour was the sound of Shi Wudu's heavenly tribulation. Now it was gradually getting smaller, Shi Wudu waved his hands, turned to Huacheng and Xie Lian, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

“…”

Pei Ming also said: "Yes, Your Highness, please explain what happened? What are you doing in there?"

When the coffin boat exploded, their tightly embraced posture must have been seen clearly. Xie Lian blinked and was about to speak, but suddenly he realized that he and Hua Cheng, after being tossed around in the narrow coffin boat for a while, both had messy hair and clothes, and looked so unruly. And after wiping the rain off his face, his cheeks were still burning hot.

Hua Cheng took a step forward and stood in front of him. After a while, Xie Lian coughed and said, "...It's nothing, it's just... the coffin is too small."

Shi Wudu was puzzled: "I didn't ask that."

Pei Ming pointed to the pile of scrap wood they had left on the beach and said, "You made that coffin, right? Can't you make it bigger?"

“…”

The shape of this coffin boat was decided by Hua Cheng and Xie Lian together. At that time, it seemed that no one had really thought of making it bigger. Xie Lian could only say, "That's true. Haha, haha. Did you two adults just drift to the vicinity of this island?"

Pei Ming said, "That's right. Senior Brother Shui fought against the ocean currents of the Black Water Demon Den all the way, and just now when he arrived on this island, he actually saw a coffin floating on the surface of the Black Water Demon Den. It's amazing."

Xie Lian’s heart slowly lifted, and he smiled, “Yes, it’s really magical.”

Shi Wudu said: "You."

He turned to Hua Cheng and squinted his eyes, "Isn't it said that on a large ship, the only thing that can survive sinking in the Black Water Demon Cave is the coffin wood that has been used to hold the dead?"

Pei Ming drew his sword and said leisurely, "Yes. We have the coffin, but where is the deceased?"

Hua Cheng also smiled and said, "If you are so obsessed with someone's death, I suggest you commit suicide."

Pei Ming raised his sword towards him and said, "How arrogant. You are worthy of being the Blood Rain Scholar!"

As expected, he had guessed it. Hua Cheng laughed loudly. Seeing that they were about to fight, Xie Lian stopped in front of Hua Cheng and said, "My two lords, please be patient. Don't worry, Sanlang has good intentions in this trip."

Pei Ming said: "Sanlang? I have never heard of which family and what rank the Xueyu Tanhua is from. Kindness? Your Highness, are you sure you are referring to him?"

Shi Wudu had to stand in the most conspicuous position, so he pushed Pei Ming away and said sternly: "Did you do this all the way? What is your purpose in luring us to the Black Water Ghost Cave? Where is Qingxuan?"

Hua Cheng said: "This is someone else's territory, you think I want to come?"

Xie Lian was already used to this kind of situation, and he skillfully changed the subject, saying, “Has Master Feng not been found yet? Didn’t General Pei go to retrieve them?”

Pei Ming spread his hands and said, "I was about to fish it out, but Senior Brother Shui had a big wave hit and washed it away."

Shi Wudu said: "Brother Pei, don't make a mistake. If I don't make waves, the things in the sea will come out one after another, and you won't be able to catch them at all!"

Xie Lian hurriedly said, “Don’t get excited, don’t get excited. That… Master Wind Master and Master Earth Master are together, so it shouldn’t be a big deal.”

Shi Wudu snorted, “Earth Master? What’s the use of an Earth Master! He’s neither high nor low, he’s not a Martial God, and his magic power is not even as good as Qingxuan’s.” At this point, he seemed to remember that Master Qingxuan no longer had any magic power, his face slightly condensed, and he stopped talking. Xie Lian thought, everyone has their own expertise. Although Mingyi is not a Martial God, and his magic power is not particularly strong, he is not as bad as the Water Master said. Besides, at the Half Moon Pass, the skills displayed by the Earth Master were not bad. Even if they were not top-notch, they were not too bad. Pei Ming also said, “Don’t worry too much for now. As long as we don’t face the Black Ghost, the Earth Master should be able to handle it.”

Hua Cheng laughed and said, "The Heavenly Tribulation has chased you all the way to the Black Water Demon Den. You have messed up the waters there, and you still expect the owner of this area not to notice?"

Suddenly, Shi Wudu's face changed slightly, and he took out a longevity gold lock from his collar. Pei Ming said, "Brother Shui, what's the situation?"

The longevity golden lock seemed to vibrate slightly in his palm. Shi Wudu said, "Qingxuan is nearby... and he's injured!"

Xie Lian looked at the golden lock, which was exactly the same as the one Master Qingxuan wore that day, took off to protect the formation, and then left behind. He asked, “Does Master Feng still have the longevity lock on him? I remember he took it off.”

Shi Wudu said: "I put it away and put it on him."

It turned out that the two longevity locks were made of two pieces of brother gold. When they were not far away and the owner of one of them was bleeding and injured, they would echo each other, and the closer they were, the stronger the resonance. This was not caused by magic, but a natural oddity, so it was not affected by the ghost domain. Shi Wudu took the longevity lock off his neck, held the chain in his hand, held it horizontally in front of him, and slowly turned it in a circle. When he faced a certain direction, the vibration of the gold lock suddenly increased.

That was the direction of the forest, towards the unfathomable center of the isolated island. Shi Wudu concentrated and said, "Qingxuan is on this island right now."

After saying that, he strode towards the forest. Pei Ming naturally followed him. Xie Lian thought about it. Since the wind master and earth master were on this island, and the wind master seemed to be injured and bleeding, he should find them first. He said, "My two lords, there are little ghosts lurking in the forest. Be careful of sneak attacks."

Hua Cheng followed, and Xie Lian wanted to hold his hand, but when he remembered his own inappropriate behavior in the  coffin boat, he couldn't help but shrink his hand. Finally, he held Hua Cheng's sleeve, not daring to look at his face. Pei Ming looked back frequently, looking at him very intently, and said, "Xueyu Tanhua, Your Highness, you two are really inseparable. You, a ghost king, are you following us so openly without any suspicion?"

Xie Lian said calmly, “What did General Pei say? Under the circumstances, he followed to avoid suspicion. Otherwise, if the two masters were in danger and suspected that he had done something behind their backs, how would he explain it?”

Pei Ming said: "He has done this to such an extreme. What difference does it make whether he is in front of us or not? Isn't it easy to use the clone technique?"

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind. Pei Ming raised his hand and grabbed a hidden arrow. He said, "Sure enough, there is something there. That was close! Senior Brother Shui, be careful..."

Before he finished his sentence, seven or eight hidden arrows flew towards him with a clanging sound. Pei Ming raised his sword and swept them away, wondering, "What's the purpose of this?"

Shi Wudu laughed and said, "Brother Pei, you'd better be careful!" After that, he quickened his pace.

If they were just lurking in the dark and shooting arrows, there would be nothing to be afraid of, but it would be very annoying. Pei Ming became impatient and flattened the bushes. After a while, he pulled out a few little ghosts and said, "You guys are so brave, aren't you?"

Those little ghosts were pale and skinny, just the lowest-ranking minions. When he held them in his hands, they were frightened by the general and shrank into balls, begging for mercy. After all, they were the gatekeepers of other people's homes, so it was understandable to resist the invasion of outsiders. Pei Ming threatened them a few times and then let them go. But later, when he encountered a particularly vicious and cunning one, he simply caught it, squeezed it into a ball, and walked with it in his hands. The four of them walked in the dense forest, brushing the leaves. After walking for an unknown amount of time, the resonance of the golden lock in Shi Wudu's hand became stronger and stronger. Finally, they finally came to an open area in the middle of the forest.

In the center of the forest was a lake. The four of them walked towards it. Suddenly, Pei Ming said, "Xueyu Tanhua, if you keep joking, I can't stand it."

Hua Cheng and Xie Lian both looked at him, then at each other. Pei Ming frowned and said, "If you want to fight, then do it openly. I am not on the same side as the thirty-three priests, so I am not necessarily afraid of you. It's no fun to push you from time to time."

Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother, you have to believe that this has nothing to do with me."

Xie Lian said, “General Pei, he wouldn’t make such a silly joke.”

Pei Ming asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Xie Lian became alert and said, “Be careful, there might be something else on this island causing trouble.”

Pei Ming stopped talking. At this time, Shi Wudu slowed down his pace and said, "Here."

The resonance of the longevity golden lock was the strongest here, which meant that Master Qingxuan was here, very close. However, it was clear here that there was nothing but a lake. Pei Ming asked, "Is there a palace underground?"

Shi Wudu stared at the water surface, and Xie Lian said, "It's possible that it's under the water."

However, you can’t just go down to the lake on Blackwater Island. If you go down, you might not be able to get out. The lake was calm without a ripple, like a huge mirror, reflecting the pale moon hanging high in the night sky, without stars or clouds. The four of them walked along the edge of the lake. Xie Lian was thinking about how to find out what was under the lake, when he was caught off guard by a scream that pierced the night sky.

The one walking in front was Shi Wudu, and the one walking in the back was Pei Ming. The three people in front looked back and saw that the one screaming was the little ghost Pei Ming had caught on the road. Its skinny body stood on the ground, its head disappeared, and black blood spurted out of its neck nearly a foot high. Its head flew into the air and was screaming. Xie Lian asked, "General Pei, why did you kill it all of a sudden?"

Pei Ming said, "No!" Before he finished speaking, he sank down and landed on one knee. Hua Cheng smiled and said, "Is there no need to perform such a grand ceremony?"

However, Pei Ming's expression was extremely shocked, and he shouted: "Senior Brother Shui, be careful!!!"

But what should they be careful about? There was nothing else beside the lake except the four of them!

Pei Ming seemed to be trapped by something invisible. Shi Wudu rushed over to help him, but a cold light flashed in the air. He dodged it immediately, but there was still a bloodstain on half of his cheek. He wiped it with his hand and his face suddenly changed.

Xie Lian protected Hua Cheng behind him and said, “Invisibility?!”

Pei Ming finally broke free from the invisible thing that was suppressing him and shouted, "Gather together! Don't disperse!"

Shi Wudu didn't care about that. He sensed that the longevity lock was resonating again, so he ran around the lake with it, shouting loudly: "Qingxuan! Qingxuan!"

The scene was extremely chaotic. However, in this chaos, Xie Lian suddenly discovered something extremely strange.

The edge of the lakeshore was empty and flat, with nothing on it. However, the shore reflected in the lake was not like that.

In the reflection, on the other side of the lake, stood a dark building. The house was gloomy and looked like a prison cell instead of a place for people to live. There was no door, only a tall window, which was sealed by iron bars. A pale hand stretched out from the iron bars, waving desperately, as if asking for help.

Xie Lian suddenly raised his head and looked at the other side. There was indeed nothing there. Shi Wudu was holding up the longevity lock. He lowered his head again. The reflection in the lake did indeed reflect a grim iron prison. Shi Wudu was looking around in front of the prison, but he couldn't see it at all.

He blurted out: "My Lords! Found it! Look..."

At this moment, his pupils suddenly contracted. Something new was reflected in the Black Water Lake.

A dark figure appeared silently behind him and Huacheng.
