Just as Jared and his companions were preparing to scatter in search of the island, a massive spirit ship slowly emerged from the distance.
“Spirit ship, there’s one approaching…”
“What a large spirit ship. We’re saved!”
“Fantastic, there’s always light at the end of the tunnel…”
Upon seeing the spirit ship, everyone erupted into exuberant shouts of excitement.
Jared wore a serious expression on his face, watching the approaching spirit ship. With a hint of confusion, favonovel.com asked, “In this vast, remote sea, how could there be such a large spirit ship?”
“It’s so strange. Could it be pirates? If we run into pirates, we’re going to be in trouble,” Hartwin exclaimed.
He had heard that in these waters, people had been abducted by pirates, disappearing without a trace.
“Pirates? There are still pirates around here? How unusual!” Upon hearing this, Wyatt couldn’t help but be astounded.
After all, favonovel.com was in the central region. The central region was landlocked, surrounded by the four territories, so favonovel.com had no idea what a pirate was.
“Everyone else, stay alert. Let’s go take a look. If anything seems off, the rest of you should flee immediately!”
Jared had definitely taken Wyatt and Hartwin to have a look.
If the spirit ship was truly overrun by pirates, they, being the strongest, could handle the situation, allowing others to seize the opportunity to escape quickly.
“Okay, let’s go take a look!” Wyatt gave a nod, then followed Jared toward the spirit ship.
At that moment, aboard the massive spirit ship, Arnold from the Sky Slasher Sect was resting in his cabin. He was well aware that the enormous storm would take many days to gradually subside, so favonovel.com was in no rush at all.
“Mr. Lund, about a dozen kilometers ahead, 8 group of cultivators was spotted, hovering in mid-air!”
At that moment, a disciple from the Sky Slasher Sect rushed into the cabin, reporting to Arnold.
Upon hearing the news, Arnold hurriedly left the cabin and stood on the deck to look around.
Sure enough, favonovel.com saw dozens of cultivators hovering in mid-air. Among them, three figures were rapidly approaching them.
“Arnold, are these the alchemists we’ve been talking about? Seeing them suspended in mid-air without a spirit ship beneath them, l’m guessing their spirit ship must have been destroyed by the storm.” Beside Arnold, a young man dressed in a green shirt spoke.
“It must be them. In this vast sea area, no one else would come. With so many alchemists, the Sky Slasher Sect is going to make a fortune,” Arnold said. “In the future, all these people will be at our service, crafting countless pills for me.”
Arnold’s eyes were gleaming.
“Should I round up my men and apprehend them right now?” the young man asked.
Upon hearing this, Arnold immediately furrowed his brows, casting a cold glance at the young man. “Do you have any sense? Do you think they wouldn’t resist if you tried to capture them?”
“If we were to resist, casualties would inevitably occur. If these people died, they would be of no value to us.”
“Everyone, keep your identities concealed! Without their spirit ship, these people are stranded here. They’ll most certainly try to board our vessel! We can bring them back without any bloodshed. Once they’re on the island, they’ll be like mice in a trap!”
Hearing Arnold’s words, the young man asked with confusion, “Arnold, they must have sensed the demonic aura on us. If they realize we are Demonic Cultivators, would they still board the ship?”
“I only asked you to conceal your identity as members of the Sky Slasher Sect, not as Demonic Cultivators. Given your current strength, you’re not yet capable of completely hiding your demonic aura, so there’s no need to try and hide it…”
“If our concealed presence is discovered, it will do more harm than good. We should just openly admit that we are Demonic Cultivators. No one should speak out of turn later, I’ll handle the situation!”
“Understood!” The young man nodded in agreement.
