The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

These statues are very common in folk temples during the Great Jing Dynasty and the Longwu Dynasty, representing wind, fire, and thunder and lightning respectively!

Most of them were used to ward off demons and suppress evil spirits!

To my surprise, I found these four statues bound here in this overseas land!

Seeing these four towering statues, hundreds of feet tall, at such close range, with their faces contorted in pain and rage, was incredibly awe-inspiring, so awe-inspiring that it took one's breath away!

The divinity of the idol has also turned into evil!

What could be the reason for building these four bizarre statues in such a place?

Moreover, it's designed to be chained up!

"It seems that we should be able to reach the island where the Temple of Martial Gods is located by crossing this trench!" Ji Bingyan's tone was somewhat excited!

Only then did everyone recover from their shock!

Only then did they realize that the ice on the sea surface had only reached the feet of the four statues!

Although dark clouds loomed overhead and fog filled the air, the trench in front of us did not appear particularly dark. Moreover, clusters of white, glowing light could be seen moving around on the surface of the sea.

Jia Daoshi strained his eyes and discovered that the light source was actually a glowing sea turtle!

"By the way, where is the Xuanji Pavilion Master Yan Yushu?" Yi Qianxiao suddenly asked softly.

"Ok?"

Jia Daoshi then realized that among so many people, Yu Yanshu was nowhere to be seen, and the Kun was also gone!

“It should be over by now,” Jia Daoshi said, looking at the deep trench in front of him.

That woman, Yu Yanshu, was nowhere to be seen except when the ship was sailing on deck.

Now that we've arrived, have we actually managed to shake them all off?

What a heartless and ungrateful woman!

"How are we going to get across? There are no boats here!" A murmur arose from the crowd.

"Look! There seems to be a path at the feet of the idol!" Someone lit a torch that had been prepared beforehand, and then it seemed that a new discovery had been made.

Following the direction the man pointed out, everyone saw a "path" about three meters wide extending into the water from the feet of several statues. This path was made entirely of black rock and blended seamlessly with the cliffs behind the statues, stretching into the trench and disappearing into the distance!

"Judging from this, this road should lead to the island where the Temple of Martial Gods is located!" a wandering swordsman began to speculate.

The atmosphere in the crowd changed as soon as these words were spoken.

It was an atmosphere of excitement, greed, and exhilaration!

After a brief silence, the atmosphere reached its peak!

Then, almost instantly, dozens of wandering swordsmen unleashed their movement techniques and rushed toward the two paths!

Huang Yaoshi calmly took out a packet of silver needles from his pocket, walked to the edge of the ice, knelt down, took out the silver needles, stirred them in the seawater for a moment, then took out the silver needles and gently smelled them.

"How is it?" Zhou Botong walked over and squatted down next to Huang Yaoshi.

“You eat a lot, come and smell this.” Huang Yaoshi handed the silver needles in his hand to Zhou Botong.

At this point, the silver needle had turned completely black.

Zhou Botong took it, smelled it, and then shook his head: "The smell is very strange. I have never smelled anything like it before."

Huang Yaoshi didn't say anything, but looked at the backs of the group of wandering knights who were already running on the cliffside path, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "It seems that the lesson in Youyun County last time was not profound enough! They rush in as soon as they see a road, without even thinking about why the people from the major sects and clans have not moved! A bunch of fools, scrambling to be pawns to help others cross the river!"

These two rocky paths have existed here for who knows how long, and some parts have been submerged by seawater. Fortunately, the people who came this time were all experts, each with superb lightness skills, rushing forward at high speed, afraid that if they were a step too slow, the treasures in front would be snatched away by others!

On the other hand, those from the major sects and powerful families were all cunning old foxes, standing still and letting these greedy wandering knights explore the way.

Let them be cannon fodder.

Moreover, these wandering knights-errant not only failed to notice anything amiss, but were also deeply grateful to the imperial court and these major sects.

Thank you for letting me play with them.

Ji Bingyan asked curiously, "Master Huang, have you made any new discoveries?"

Huang Yaoshi nodded:

"The seawater here is different from the outside; it's much darker and has a fishy, ​​foul smell. It must be the excrement of some kind of creature, or perhaps too much bodily secretion! Given this concentration, there must be a lot of this kind of creature in this area!"

Yu Chi Zhenjin frowned: "You mean, there's something guarding the Temple of Martial God in this sea?"

Huang Yaoshi said in a deep voice, "Now it seems that the Martial God Temple is isolated overseas and has formed its own world independent of the external ocean. It is normal for there to be some strange things in this sea area."

Fei Yan nodded: "That's right, Lao Huang is right. I can smell it too. There's obviously something wrong with the smell of this seawater. But the Martial God Temple is a very strange place, and we can't judge it by common sense! The Empress only allowed us to bring fifty people, and that was the right decision. There's no use bringing more people to a place like this!"

Jia Daoshi frowned: "After saying all this, can you tell what's hidden in this seawater?"

The trench in front of us was pitch black. The seawater here was different from the seawater outside. It seemed to be still, except for the turtle shells that were faintly glowing. The surface of the water was as still as a mirror.

To be honest, Jia Daoshi had a phobia of this kind of water, which reminded him of Fuxian Lake in the Great Xia Kingdom before he traveled there.

Rumor has it that there are ghosts and monsters at the bottom of Fuxian Lake!

This world is obviously even more unreliable than my original world, so it's possible for any kind of creature to emerge from it!

As if to prove Jia Daoshi right, the originally calm water surface suddenly began to churn with a series of bubbles!

It's like water being boiled!

The next second, jets of water suddenly shot into the sky, and huge waves rippled on the once calm surface. A ferocious and terrifying water beast suddenly burst out of the trench!
