As the eastern sky began to pale with the first light of dawn, Ye Wuji, Shěn Qīngxuě, and Xiao Hei arrived at the east pier of Hùnyuán Island. Moored by the dock was a small boat of unusual design; entirely deep blue, its bow was carved with a seabird spreading its wings, and its stern was fitted with a special propulsion device.
Bái Yúnjū had been waiting at the dock for some time. Seeing the three of them approach, he stepped forward and said, "The boat is ready. This is the Shadow Skiff, a stealth speed-boat specially made on Hùnyuán Island. It can travel underwater to evade the patrols of the Heavenly Dao Sect. There is enough food and water on board, along with some emergency medicinal pills and talismans."
He pointed toward the cabin. "Inside the cabin, there is a simple array shield that can further conceal your presence. It will take about a day and a night to get from here to the outer edges of the Netherworld Sea. Once you leave the Netherworld Sea, you will have to find your own transportation to the Central Prefecture."
