“Cosmic Sect obtained a bale of spirit turtles. from somewhere, Mr. Seizon. These spirit turtles can traverse the Night Sea freely and are wholly unafraid of the storms. It’s precisely for that reason that they managed to ambush our airships and appropriated many of them,” that disciple of Stellaris Sect explained.
“Spirit turtles?” Cloud went silent.
“Cloud, let’s get the situation straight first, then set sail and explore the sea. Perhaps your father and the others are fine,” Jared interjected.
He knew that the man must be lost at that moment and had absolutely no idea what to do.
“Okay. We’ll set sail and check out the situation!”
Cloud nodded in agreement. Subsequently, he turned to that disciple and instructed, “Go and buy a few tickets right away. I want to go out to sea.”
At his order, the disciple admitted in a conflicted tone, “There are no more tickets for the near future, Mr. Seizon. They’ve long since sold out. After news of there being magical items at the Night Sea spread, many people rushed over. Consequently, the tickets for spirit ships are sold at an exorbitant price. Even then, the demand still surpasses the supply.”
“D*mn it! How useless! Didn’t the lot of you know to prepare a few tickets?” Cloud instantly lambasted in fury following the man’s words.
“Can’t we go out to sea if we don’t have tickets?” Jared asked in puzzlement. “No, but there’s still one way to obtain tickets,” Cloud replied in a whisper.
“What way? Buy them from others at a high price?” Jared queried. However, Cloud shook his head. “By snatching them. The tickets are without names, so they belong to whoever has them in hand.”
Upon hearing that, Jared found it to be a great idea. Yeah, we can snatch two tickets from someone else outright. Something like that is not uncommon in the Ethereal Realm, after all!
“Where shall we snatch them?” By then, Quinley’s interest was also piqued.
“At the dock, of course! Only those who bought tickets would go there to board the ship,” Cloud declared.
Shortly after, the three of them headed toward the dock. As they approached, Jared noticed a few spirit ships docked there, and a light glow surrounded them. It was clear as day that arcane arrays had been set up.
One of the spirit ships was dozens of meters high, standing majestic like a gigantic mountain. Many people were queuing to board a ship, and it was none other than that titanic spirit ship.
All around the dock were countless people who behaved suspiciously. At a glance, one could tell they were also there to seize the opportunity to steal or snatch tickets like Jared and the others.
“D*mn it! The tickets for the next few days have also been sold out. Isn’t that too quick?” a burly man cursed with a frown, making it known that he likewise failed to buy a ticket.
“People nowadays prefer money over their own lives. The Night Sea is such a dangerous place, but as soon as there were rumors of magical items, everyone came swarming over without fear of dying at sea.”
“I heard that a spirit ship sank a few days ago, killing hundreds of cultivators. What a tragedy!”
“Perhaps it’s our luck that we failed to buy tickets!”
Many cultivators who failed to buy tickets both griped with and consoled each other. Naturally, the arrival of Jared and his entourage also snagged their attention.
Mainly, it was because of Quinley. Dressed in a white dress and coupled with her icy temperament, she appeared incredibly alluring.
“She’s stunningly beautiful! Even such a gorgeous lady came to the Night Sea to take a risk?”
“It’d be a pity if she were to die out there!”
Numerous cultivators stared at her openly and spoke of her vulgarly, leading to fury staining her countenance.
The number of cultivators turning their gazes to her multiplied, and they stared at her slender figure and fair skin that rendered her just like an angel. The icy aura unique to her, in particular, was all too seductive.
Her looks also had many cultivators salivating as they gazed at her unblinkingly. Even some of the female cultivators went green with envy and felt inferior.
