After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 1356

Qin He followed Zhou Shan and the others to a table by the window. As soon as they sat down, Zhao Xiaojia slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "Shopkeeper! Two jars of Qingling wine, and three to five catties of sea spirit meat, plus some dried fruit!"

After the innkeeper served the food, the group took a sip of the spirit wine. Zhou Shan looked at everyone and said, "Gentlemen, everyone needs a brain and a leader. The future of this trip is uncertain, so we need to clarify the rules first. On this trip to the Ghost Ship Sea, I have the highest cultivation level, so listen to my commands and don't act on your own. If we find any treasure, we'll divide it according to our contribution. If it's a reward from the Long family, we'll split it equally among the five of us. What do you think?"

Liu Yu nodded and said, "Brother Zhou has a great reputation, so you should be the leader."

Zhao Xiaojia nodded and said, "Over the years, Brother Zhou has always been the one to lead our work, and this time is no exception. I have no objection."

Zhou Shan looked at Wu Gou, who cupped his hands and said, "Brother Zhou, you shall decide."

Qin He picked up his wine glass, took a sip, and nodded casually: "Let's listen to Brother Zhou."

His mind was entirely on Long Qingyun, and he didn't care about these trivial matters.

"Haha, good, thank you all for thinking so highly of me. Sister Liu and Xiao Jia know me well. Brother Wei and Brother Wu are working together for the first time, so just watch how I do things. I will never do anything that would harm the public for personal gain." Zhou Shan clasped his hands in a fist and patted his chest as he spoke.

After a few more words, Qin He asked with a smile, "Brother Zhou, you often travel to Yunlai. I heard that the Dragon Family Ancestor once served in the Divine Court?"

Zhou Shan had just taken a swig of wine when he heard this and put down the wine jar: "You've come to the right person. Ancestor Long is no ordinary cultivator from the Divine Court; he used to be a patrol envoy!"

"Boundary Inspector?" Zhao Xiaojia leaned closer. "Is he in charge of the boundaries?"

“It’s not just our territory.” Zhou Shan shook his head and said, “The patrol envoys travel throughout the heavens. When the Divine Court wants to know what’s going on in other realms, it sends patrol envoys to investigate. They have to record which realm has new resources, which realm has demonic activity, and even which realm has ancient divine ruins. It is said that the Dragon Ancestor traveled through more than thirty realms back then, and the secrets he holds in his hands are probably more than the stones in Yunlai City.”

Qin He paused, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He hadn't made a mistake in choosing the wrong person.

The patrol envoys have access to the core intelligence of the Divine Court. If they can get something out of Long Qingyun, it will be much more useful than searching Zhang Xiu's soul.

"What about the Ghost Ship Sea?" Qin He asked again, "I've only heard that the place is eerie, but what exactly is it like?"

Zhou Shan's face darkened, and he lowered his voice: "That place is also strange. It was originally a mysterious sea area with an unknown number of years. Ships often disappeared there, but they stopped there. However, the Wei River changed after a tsunami two hundred years ago."

"It's alright during the day, but at night, ancient ships appear, their sails covered in blood-written characters that no one can decipher. The ships are left unattended and just drift on the sea."

“Once, my uncle went with a caravan and saw an ancient ship in the distance. The lanterns hanging on it were made of human bones. He didn’t dare to get close. When he went back the next day, there was no trace of the ship. Only a few bloated corpses were floating on the sea, with blood-stained planks still in their hands.”

Wu Gou suddenly spoke, his voice hoarse: "I went to that sea three years ago and heard a woman crying in the ancient ship, as if she was shouting 'Give me back my soul.' But when I got closer, there was no sound, and I could only smell a putrid stench."

Qin He raised an eyebrow slightly. The black miasma, ghost ships, and wailing sounds made it seem like a forbidden land where resentment had condensed, but the demonic energy was milder than that of the Demon Abyss.

However, Qin He had seen his fair share of such awful places.

In the lower realms of the abyss, there are at least two or three hundred similar places that have been leveled.

Unexpectedly, it also exists in the Upper Realm, and it even trapped the Divine Court's patrol envoy inside.

"Why did the Dragon Ancestor insist on going there?" Zhao Xiaojia asked, munching on beef. "The Resurrection Grass can be found elsewhere, why go to that godforsaken place?"

Zhou Shan sighed: "Three years ago, when Ancestor Long returned from the Divine Court, I heard that he encountered danger in the boundary passage. Although he did not lose his life, he fell from the Saint Realm back to the late stage of the Other Shore Realm, and his soul was also injured."

"The Resurrection Grass can stabilize the soul. Ordinary ones are useless. It must grow in a place where resentment cannot be dispelled. It can be found on the 'Resentful Soul Reef' deep in the Ghost Ship Sea. Old Ancestor Long was probably in a hurry. He went there himself before the Long family was ready. As a result, there has been no news for so long. That's why the Long family is in a hurry to recruit people."

Qin He pondered to himself that with his soul damaged, he was at his most vulnerable and vulnerable. If he could help stabilize his soul, he might be able to exchange some information.

Just then, a cough came from the next table, and someone mentioned the words "Divine Court".

Zhou Shan glanced over there and lowered his voice to the group, saying, "I don't know if you've heard the rumors, but the Divine Court has been acting very strangely lately. Last week, I went to the neighboring city and saw the Divine Court's Holy Light Ship flying in the sky, carrying quite a few armored cultivators. I heard they're searching for 'Heavenly Demons'."

"Heavenly Demon?" Zhao Xiaojia's eyes widened. "The kind that eats souls, as they say?"

“That’s right!” Zhou Shan took a swig of wine. “I heard from the Chamber of Commerce that several gods from the Divine Court have come down, and even the chief god of the Divine Punishment Division has sent down an avatar. In the past, the chief god didn’t care about the affairs of the mortal realm. I guess the Heavenly Demons are causing too much trouble, and the Divine Court can’t handle it.”

Qin He's brow twitched upon hearing this.

Has the chief deity of the Divine Punishment Division descended in a clone?

He only knew that the Supreme God was the head of the Divine Punishment Division, but he didn't know the specific level of power. If the Supreme God really came down, even if he hid in Yunlai, he might not be safe.

He suppressed his surprise and casually asked, "Brother Zhou, do you know what level the Chief God of the Divine Punishment Division is? How much stronger is he than Ancestor Dragon?"

Zhou Shan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "How dare I guess? Ancestor Long was once a Saint Realm expert, and the God of the Main God is a big figure in the Divine Court. I dare not guess what realm he is in. Is he in the Imperial Dao Realm or one of the Three Immortals of Order? Such a secret involves the secrets of heaven. How could we ants know it? It is just a legend that there was once a Saint-level demon who was turned to ashes by a single glare from the God of the Main God."

Qin He's heart skipped a beat, and the wine in his glass rippled. If someone at the Saint Realm or higher, the Imperial Dao Realm, were to truly come and capture him, he wouldn't even have a chance to escape.

At this moment, the shopkeeper brought over a new wine jar. Zhou Shan broke the clay seal, and the aroma of wine filled the air: "Forget about these troubling things! Let's drink our fill first. Tomorrow we'll get the protective talisman, and the day after tomorrow we'll board the ship. As long as we come back alive, we'll get two thousand spirit stones, enough for us to enjoy ourselves for a while."
