The giant spirit ship swiftly shuttled through the sea of clouds, yet inside the ship, it was as stable as the land.

Just as all the cultivators were in this cramped, monotonous room, either meditating for cultivation or lost in deep thought, they suddenly felt a slight jolt.

"What’s going on!"

"What happened!?"

A slight jolt was completely abnormal for this giant spirit ship.

This instantly alarmed all the cultivators, but no one dared to act rashly and go outside to check.

Soon, the sound of the patrol team came from the corridor outside the cabin.

"All cultivators must not act rashly; those who come out without permission will be killed without mercy!"

The voice, filled with killing intent, echoed continuously, clearly somewhat anxious.

Soon after, the patrol team’s voice diminished significantly, clearly because the cultivators had been reassigned, leaving many cultivators with a chill down their spine.

"Damn it, something really happened!"

Inside the room, Lin Chang’an’s face was now gloomy, his gaze flickering as he continuously considered his next steps.

However, he still didn’t know what was happening outside, so for the moment, he could only prepare for the worst.

"If a Tier Three giant spirit ship plus that experienced Core Formation Cultivator can’t hold out, then needless to say, it would be time to flee for life.

After all, with so many people on the ship, once the giant spirit ship is breached, its array will be destroyed, and no one will wait to die..."

Thinking about this, Lin Chang’an’s hand subconsciously touched the Spirit Beast Bag.

"No, at the very least, I can’t reveal myself in front of everyone, or I’ll become a conspicuous target. It’s safer to blend into the crowd while there are many people around."

The Phoenix Cry Bird is strong, but not stronger than the combination of an experienced Core Formation Middle Stage Cultivator and a Tier Three giant flying boat.

If this gets blown up, he wouldn’t dare expose this asset.

"Of course, this is the worst-case scenario."

Lin Chang’an could only adapt to the situation as it developed.

As for whether the giant spirit ship encountered strong winds, hence the jolt?

This reason wasn’t impossible!

But the problem was, does encountering strong winds require deploying cultivators from the cabin for patrol?

No one is a fool, not even the patrolling cultivators used such a poor excuse.

Amidst everyone’s anxious wait, the jolts of the giant flying boat grew even more severe, making everyone increasingly flustered.

This was definitely an attack on the giant flying boat!

However, just then, outside the patrol team seemed to be exchanging actions quickly, or discussing something.

Finally, after a while, the jolting stopped, and the turmoil seemed to end.

Yet, the faces of all cultivators did not improve, for they could feel that the giant flying boat had also come to a halt.

As everyone anxiously waited, finally, the voice of the patrol team came through.

"All cultivators remain quiet in your rooms, we have encountered a search by the Profound Yin Demon... Divine Sect, here to check for traitors.

Do not panic, cooperate calmly with the inspection, and everything will be fine."

Upon hearing this, countless cultivators in the cabin erupted into chaos.

"Damn it, this is the Profound Yin Demon Sect!"

"Shut up, don’t say anything rash, if you want to die, don’t drag us with you!"

"Exactly, just cooperate, it’s too late to say anything now."

Lin Chang’an, upon hearing this, felt numb; how did this situation involve the Profound Yin Demon Sect again, though various information about them quickly surfaced in his mind.

"This Profound Yin Demon Sect, though claiming to be a Divine Sect outside, is actually fiercely competitive internally, with extremely ruthless methods, a typical demon dao sect.

Moreover, they excel in plundering everywhere, regardless of whether it’s merchant ships or other targets, and are infamously known as the pirates of the Demon Beast Abyss."

Thinking about this, Lin Chang’an sighed helplessly; the situation was beyond control, and even if he wanted to escape, now was not the time; a good opportunity must be awaited.

Helplessly, he could only wave his hand, opening the door of his room, waiting for the upcoming inspection.

Meanwhile, the doors of the rooms in the cabin were also opened by the cultivators inside.

Opposite Lin Chang’an was a middle-aged red-faced man, who, upon seeing Lin Chang’an, couldn’t help but pull out a wry smile.

"Master Lin Talisman Master, it seems we’re really unlucky."

"Yes, really bad luck, to encounter the Profound Yin Divine Sect."

Lin Chang’an also nodded helplessly; things had come to this point, and he could only watch the situation unfold.

Here, he was not confident, but he didn’t believe they would be guarded by a Golden Core Cultivator, so there was still a chance.

However, the red-faced man opposite, clearly a bit guilty, seeing that no cultivators had arrived yet, couldn’t help but secretly communicate:

"Master Lin Talisman Master, I heard that this Profound Yin Demon Sect not only plunders merchant ships, but they also don’t spare cultivators, and are notorious for selling human puppets and refining corpses."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chang’an silently sighed and didn’t say much.

Is there a chance that, just because of this statement, everyone would rebel together?

Didn’t the Long Family already comply? If the Long Family fought to the death, and everyone rebelled together, and then escaped, he would naturally be willing to blend in.

But without the Long Family, just relying on them.

In that, he would easily become a big fish being targeted; he wasn’t stupid.

...

Just then, footsteps finally came from the cabin.

The cultivator from the Long Family, who was a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator and had laid down the rules for them when they first boarded, now came forward. Though he looked somewhat unpleasant, he still hoarsely said:

"Senior, these are all cultivators with clear backgrounds, they can be checked as you please, but please show some mercy."

Walking down was a Fake Pill Cultivator from the Profound Yin Demon Sect, who showed a sinister smile, patting the other party’s shoulder, said:

"Rest assured, this time we are only searching for the fugitives wanted by our Divine Sect, we will not embarrass the Long Family. After all, your Long Family has given us quite a few spirit stones, haven’t you!"
