The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1210: Ninefold Heart-Steadying Pill
"Only the Nine Nether Profound Sword in my hand can sense the flow of the sword qi. Stay close to me. If you fall behind, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
Madam Zhuqu looked back at the group and repeated her warning.
Ling Feng's eyes glinted. A faint curve lifted the corner of his mouth as he glanced at the sword in Madam Zhuqu's hand.
With that sword in her grip, she was effectively carrying an amulet. If the group wanted to leave this place safely, they had no choice but to follow her instructions.
However, Ling Feng soon realized that the Eye of the Emperor could also see the paths taken by the sword qi. As long as he avoided the critical points, there would be no real danger.
He could find a safe route even without Madam Zhuqu leading the way.
Of course, Ling Feng had no intention of exposing this ability. He simply matched her steps and headed deeper into the warship.
...
They had walked only a few hundred meters, yet it felt as if they had been moving for three days and three nights. An indescribable exhaustion settled over them.
"All right. We are almost there." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Madam Zhuqu paused briefly. Her smile was stiff as she tried to reassure the "temporary" companions behind her.
Shui Wuhen and Lan Yuhuang nodded with effort. They moved with extreme caution behind Madam Zhuqu. The tension pressed down on them like a weight.
The Bald Blade Emperor was so anxious that he could barely breathe. The more someone killed without hesitation, the more they feared death.
Only Ling Feng walked at the very back with a relaxed expression. In the current situation, no one had the attention to spare for him.
None of them dared to breathe too loudly. Fortunately, the journey remained free of accidents and they finally stopped before a door.
Madam Zhuqu let out a breath of relief and said in a low voice, "We have reached a place where the sword qi array does not exist. You may rest for a moment."
She stepped toward the door and walked a few casual paces. No sword qi appeared. She gestured that the area was safe, then wiped her forehead. Even with the Nine Nether Profound Sword helping her avoid the sword array's triggers, she would be in danger if anyone behind her took a wrong step.
"Phew..."
The Bald Blade Emperor, Shui Wuhen, and Lan Yuhuang all exhaled deeply. Ling Feng was the only one who stepped forward lightly. He stopped before the bronze door with an indifferent expression.
"Young Master Long truly deserves the title of alchemist. Your soul talent far surpasses that of ordinary people. It is no surprise that you never had to worry about misstepping."
Madam Zhuqu smiled faintly. She believed she understood why Ling Feng had remained calm all this time.
"Hmph! I was only worried that this fat lump would mess everything up because of his size!"
Lan Yuhuang let out a short huff. She clearly still held a grudge over Ling Feng ignoring her along the way.
"Right..."
Madam Zhuqu paused for a moment, then turned to them again. "I still have a few Ninefold Heart-Steadying Pills. The ship is filled with vengeful energy. The air contains a force that affects the mind. Each of you should take one in case of unexpected trouble."
She swallowed one first to show that the pill was not poisoned.
The Bald Blade Emperor was the most straightforward. He picked up a pill without hesitation and swallowed it in a single gulp.
Lan Yuhuang looked unimpressed as she took a pill. "No one can play tricks with poison in front of me!"
"Uh..."
Shui Wuhen was the most calculating. He hesitated for a moment, and only after seeing Lan Yuhuang swallow a medicinal pill did he finally feel reassured enough to take the pill and swallow it.
"Young Master Long, what about you?"
Madam Zhuqu looked at Ling Feng and offered him the final pill.
