Chapter 102

The keel of the giant bronze vessel hummed, and the Star Marks across its hull slithered like living things. Stepping onto the deck, Su Jiuli saw rancid droplets of blood seeping from the cracks. The droplets hit the deck and congealed into Wu Clan bone implements, their surfaces carved with Star Orbits sharing the same origin as the tribulation marks. At the prow, the star banner fluttered without wind. Wherever the tail of the banner swept, three thousand Bronze Sarcophagi floated up from the depths of the abyss, the fangs of the taotie motifs on their surfaces snapping open and closed as they devoured the drifting Star Sand. A charred fox tail wriggled out from a crack in the deck, its tip coiling around the star banner.
