Chapter 48 The Old Lady's Fraud
The spirit ship stopped, and the four young men in the cabin sat up straight. The one who rolled to the ground also sat back in his original seat. He was a little uneasy and wanted to go to the window to see the situation outside, but the other three did not move, so he did not dare to move either.
Lin Du collected the filled-in map and stroked the Fu Sheng fan in his hand.
Yan Qing took off the big knife on his back and slowly wiped the wide blade with a piece of small animal skin.
Ni Jinxuan stared at Lin Du, one hand unconsciously playing with the long whip at her waist.
There were restrictions in the cabin, and the sounds outside the door were faint and unclear.
Not long after, Yuan Ye couldn't help himself and asked, "Uncle Junior Master, aren't you curious?"
Lin Du didn't say anything. The range of consciousness of a cultivator at Qin Xin realm was not too wide and could not reach outside the huge cabin.
"What if there are thieves outside?" Yuan Ye stood up, "What if Master Ju Yuan is in trouble?"
"If there are thieves outside, then we don't need to go out, Senior Brother can handle it alone. If there are vicious people outside, we don't need to go out. If Senior Brother can't handle it, we can't handle it either."
Lin Du said, "What we can do is not to cause trouble."
She twirled her fan lazily. "When necessary, it's best to protect yourself."
"We use a spiritual ship with the sect's logo. Not to mention in Zhongzhou, even in the entire Dongming Realm, there are not many people who dare to provoke the Supreme Sect."
Yan Qing flicked the back of the long sword, his finger hurting a little. He silently curled his middle finger into his hand, his face still calm.
The Supreme Sect means power in Zhongzhou.
Whether it was Jiang Liang, who almost never went out, or Ju Yuan outside the cabin, they were all listed clearly on the Chongxiao List.
There was another vibration, and the four of them looked out the window at the same time, only to see the claw hit the defense array, causing violent sparks.
Lin Du suddenly stood up and walked to the beam on one side of the cabin, "Yuan Ye, secret compartment."
Yuan Ye went over and opened the secret compartment, revealing the core of the defensive formation. There were several chessboard-like things crisscrossing vertically and horizontally on it.
Lin Du threw a spirit crystal into it, then raised his hand and moved a few places.
"Master Junior, what are you doing?"
"This ship's formation was created by my master." Lin Du said succinctly, "but my brothers and sisters don't know how to use it. They think the defense formation only has one layer."
Yuan Ye let out a cry. Although he didn't understand what was said, he thought it was very powerful.
The sound of spiritual energy scraping and colliding outside was getting louder and louder, and the spiritual ship was also swaying. Lin Du frowned slightly, "This group of people came prepared? Could they be cloud pirates?"
But how dare the Yun Bandits rob the Supreme Sect’s ship?
Yan Qing also stood up, "It's about two hours from here to the sect."
Ni Jinxuan was a little nervous, "Is Master okay?"
The pressure of spiritual power suddenly erupted, causing the four people in the room to groan in unison. The pressure on their shoulders was like a thousand mountains, making it impossible for them to raise their heads or straighten their backs.
"Junior Master!" Ni Jinxuan was shocked when she saw blood dripping on the ground not far away.
When gods fight, the devils suffer.
This body is too weak. Lin Du cursed in his heart, raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, tried his best to swallow the fishy sweetness in his throat, and said, "The situation is not good, let's go and take a look."
It was too late to send a message to the Sect Master at this time. The Sect Master was only at the Qian Yuan Realm, and it would take some time for him to arrive even if he hurried. Only cultivators above the Wu Xiang Realm could arrive in time.
The situation outside the cabin was indeed not as good as Lin Du had expected.
Ju Yuan frowned, feeling the pressure of the opponent's spiritual power which was one level higher than his own, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his face.
"You rammed my boat and killed my beloved. You must give us an explanation."
The spirit boat opposite had just appeared, completely black. On the deck stood a man covered with a complicated silver mask. He had a strange white robe on his head, covering his entire body. When he opened his mouth, he spoke with the voice of an old woman.
The Supreme Sect's spiritual ship is spacious and has a huge target. At the moment, it is surrounded by dozens of people, all wearing white robes.
They were suspended steadily in the air, holding in their hands the claws commonly used by chaotic sky bandits. Even though they were wearing things that masked their aura, one could still guess that these people were at least in the Tengyun realm.
Only cultivators in the Tengyun Realm can fly between heaven and earth without the aid of flying instruments.
Ten people surrounded the Supreme Sect's spiritual ship, shouting for their lives, but their every move was to seize the ship or even tow it away.
Ju Yuan had never thought that someone would dare to brazenly challenge the Supreme Sect. "The spirit ship will automatically identify and avoid us. How can you prove that we hit your beast to death, and not that it was frightened to death by your own people?"
Xia Tian said nothing, but released a strange fire, melting the claws in front of him one by one.
She was not feeling well now, because the man's pressure was also on her. Although there was the barrier of the robe, it was still extremely difficult to mobilize her spiritual power.
The white-robed leader sneered, "It's obvious that your spirit ship had no one at the helm and crashed into our stern. My beloved happened to be standing at the stern to enjoy the view and was knocked to the ground by the rebound force of your defense formation. He must be dead now!"
Ju Yuan frowned and was about to retort when a young girl's cry suddenly came from the cabin door. "Oh no! The pressure they released has crushed Junior Master to death."
A trace of disbelief immediately appeared on Xia Tianwu's face, and even Ju Yuan's expression froze.
Lin Du is dead?
Then, a young man shouted, "Master! Little Master died tragically! These people should pay for it!"
Ju Yuan cursed and took out a silver spear, "I didn't see the person you hit and killed, but our child was killed by the pressure you released. I will definitely come to avenge her today."
Even if there are ten helpers who are at least at the Tengyun Realm and are higher than me, so what? No one can leave today.
These people were here to cause trouble, Ju Yuan knew it, but he didn't want to cause any trouble. There were four children on the boat, and the pressure from the high-level monks fighting would affect the children and inevitably hurt them.
"Hey, do you want to fight me? You don't want to argue with me anymore?" The old woman laughed strangely.
Ju Yuan stood at the bow of the boat, "You are bullshitting me, Master!"
The man's spear flashed in the air, and then he pointed the silver spear directly at the man in white robes. His gentle eyes suddenly became sharp. "You just want to fight? Fine. You are a cowardly coward, you are not worthy of being my enemy."
The man in white robe laughed shrilly, and then shot out a dazzling light from his hand, stabbing straight at Ju Yuan, but was bounced back by the sudden force of the defensive formation in front of him.
The man uttered a soft "eh", and suddenly the sound of bronze bells could be heard from all directions.
The sound of the bronze bells became louder and faster, and the defense array began to tremble and shake.
Suddenly, dozens of phantoms flashed from the spears, and then, like an arrow shot from a bow, it penetrated the barrier unhindered with unstoppable force, and then closed its arms and headed straight for the old woman's face.
"You are overestimating yourself. You clearly know that my realm is higher than yours. How can you compare with me?"
The man waved his sleeves calmly, and dozens of phantoms disappeared like a drop of water in the ocean, disappearing into nothingness and being shattered by spiritual power in the blink of an eye.
Ju Yuan swung his spear and said, "So what if you are stronger than me? There are so many people in Qianyuan Realm who are not on the list yet. How do you think I got on the Chongxiao List?"
He raised his chin, stomped his feet to the ground, and jumped out of the cabin, missing the short "Don't go out!" from inside.
A silver light suddenly exploded behind the man in white robe, causing him to groan and leap into the air with his sleeves swung. "Are you cheating?"
Ju Yuan held the spear in both hands, ready to strike. "This is a tactic, how can it be considered a trick?"
Xia Tianwu's originally tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed after that brief farewell, and he turned his head to look towards the cabin door.
The man who was supposed to be "dead" was resurrected on the spot, holding his cloak, frowning, and looking solemn. He cursed, "It's over."
It turned out that the old lady was deliberately trying to cheat someone. According to the traditional method, the victim would just lie on the ground side by side with the old lady and that would be the end of it.
But this group of guys, who were obviously a bad organization, clearly wanted to capture them all. Now that Ju Yuan was gone, there were only five of them left on the boat, and they had to send them off one by one.
