The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

The spirit ship stopped, and the four teenagers inside the cabin sat up straight. The person who had rolled onto the floor sat back down, though he was a little unsettled and wanted to go to the window to look at the situation outside. But since the other three didn't move, he didn't dare to move either.

Lin Du put away the completed map and stroked the Floating Life Fan in his hand.

Yan Qing unbuckled the broadsword from his back and slowly wiped the blade with a small piece of animal hide.

Ni Jinxuan's eyes were fixed on Lin Du, while one hand unconsciously fiddled with the long whip at her waist.

The cabin was equipped with a barrier, and the sounds outside the door were faint and indistinct.

Before long, Yuan Ye couldn't hold back any longer, "Junior Uncle, aren't you curious?"

Lin Du remained silent. The range of a cultivator's spiritual sense in the Qin Xin realm was not very wide, and it could not reach outside the large cabin.

"What if there are thieves outside?" Yuan Ye stood up. "What if Uncle-Master Ju Yuan runs into trouble?"

"If it's just petty thieves outside, then we don't need to go out; Senior Brother can handle it alone. If it's vicious criminals outside, then we definitely don't need to go out either. If Senior Brother can't handle it, then we certainly can't."

Lin Du spoke up, "The best we can do is not cause trouble."

She lazily twirled her fan, "It's best to be able to protect yourself when necessary."

"We're using a spirit ship with the sect's insignia. Not to mention in Zhongzhou, there aren't many people in the entire Dongming Realm who dare to provoke the Supreme Sect."

Yan Qing flicked the back of the longsword; his finger hurt a little. He silently curled his middle finger into his hand, his face remaining calm.

In Zhongzhou, the Supreme Sect signifies power.

Whether it's Jiang Liang, who almost never leaves the house, or Ju Yuan outside the cabin, they are both listed on the Chongxiao Ranking.

Another tremor shook the area, and the four of them looked out the window to see the grappling hooks collide with the defensive array, exploding in intense sparks.

Lin Du suddenly stood up and walked to the side pillar of the cabin. "Yuan Ye, the secret compartment."

Yuan Ye then went over and opened the hidden compartment, revealing the core of the defensive formation, which had several checkerboard-like structures crisscrossing on it.

Lin Du threw a spirit crystal inside, then raised his hand and moved a few places around.

"Junior Uncle, what's going on?"

"The formation on this ship was created by my master," Lin Du said succinctly. "It's just that my senior brothers don't know how to use it, thinking that the defensive formation only has one layer."

Yuan Ye let out a roar. Although he didn't understand it, he thought it was very impressive.

The sounds of spiritual energy scraping and colliding outside grew louder, causing the spirit ship to sway and pitch. Lin Du frowned slightly. "Did these people come prepared? Could they be cloud bandits?"

How dare the thieves rob the Supreme Sect's ship?

Yan Qing also stood up. "It's about two hours from here to the sect."

Ni Jinxuan asked nervously, "Will Master be alright?"

The pressure of spiritual energy suddenly erupted, causing the four people in the room to groan in unison. The pressure on their shoulders was like a mountain range, making it impossible for them to lift their heads or straighten their backs.

"Junior Uncle!" Ni Jinxuan was startled when she saw the blood dripping on the ground not far away.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

"This body is too weak," Lin Du cursed inwardly. He raised his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his lips, swallowed the metallic taste in his throat, and said, "The situation is not good. Let's go take a look."

It was too late to send a message to the sect leader at this point. The sect leader was only at the Qian Yuan Realm, and even if he rushed over quickly, it would still take some time. Only cultivators at the Wu Xiang Realm or above could arrive in time.

The situation outside the cabin was indeed not good, just as Lin Du had predicted.

Ju Yuan frowned, feeling the pressure of the other party's spiritual power, which was a realm higher than his own, and a trace of solemnity appeared on his dignified face.

"You crashed my boat and killed my beloved pet. You owe us an explanation."

The spirit ship opposite had just materialized. It was pitch black, and on its deck stood a person covered by an elaborate silver mask. He was wearing a strange white robe that covered his entire body, but when he spoke, it was the voice of an old woman.

The Supreme Sect's spirit ship was spacious, making it a huge target. At this moment, dozens of people, all wearing white robes with their faces covered, surrounded it.

They hovered steadily in the air, each carrying the grappling hooks commonly used by bandits in the chaotic sky. Even though they used something to conceal their aura, it was still easy to guess that these people were at least at the Cloud Ascension Realm.

Only cultivators at the Cloud Soaring Realm can fly between heaven and earth without the aid of flying artifacts.

The ten men surrounded the Supreme Sect's spirit ship, shouting for their lives, but their every move was to seize the ship or even tow it away.

Ju Yuan was shocked that someone would actually dare to blatantly provoke the Supreme Sect. "The spirit ship will automatically recognize and avoid it. How can you prove that we killed your beasts, and not that we were scared to death by your own people?"

Xia Tian didn't speak, but released strange fire, melting the claws and hooks in front of him one by one.

She was not feeling well, because the man's pressure was also pressing down on her. Although her robes provided some protection, it was still extremely difficult for her to mobilize her spiritual power.

The white-robed leader sneered, "It's obvious that your spirit ship was unmanned and crashed into our stern. My beloved pet happened to be standing at the stern admiring the scenery when it was knocked to the ground by the force of your defensive array's rebound. It's definitely dead by now!"

Ju Yuan frowned angrily, about to retort, when suddenly a panicked girl's cry came from inside the cabin, "It's terrible! The pressure they released has crushed Junior Uncle to death!"

A look of disbelief immediately appeared on Xia Tianwu's face, and even Ju Yuan's expression froze.

Lin Du is dead?

Immediately afterward, a young boy's voice rang out, "Martial Aunt! Junior Aunt died so tragically! These people must pay with their lives!"

Ju Yuan cursed and brandished a silver spear. "I didn't see the person you killed, but my child was crushed to death by the pressure you released. Today, I will make her pay with her life."

Even if they are at a higher level than me and have ten helpers at least at the Cloud Ascension Realm, so what? No one is leaving today.

Ju Yuan was well aware that these people were there to stage an accident, but he didn't want to cause trouble. There were four children on the boat, and the pressure from a fight between high-level cultivators could easily affect them and hurt them.

"Oh, so you want to fight now? Don't want to argue with me anymore?" The old woman chuckled strangely.

Ju Yuan stood at the bow of the boat, yelling, "Screw you!"

The man's spear flashed in the air, leaving an arc of light. Then, the silver spearhead pointed directly at the man in white robes. His gentle eyes suddenly turned sharp. "You just want to fight, don't you? Fine, you cowardly rat hiding your head and tail, you're not worthy to be my enemy."

The white-robed man laughed shrilly, then unleashed a dazzling beam of light from his hand, aiming straight at Ju Yuan, only to be deflected by the suddenly activated defensive array in front of him.

The man let out a soft "Eh," and suddenly the sound of copper bells rang out from all directions.

The sound of the copper bells grew heavy and gradually became more rapid, causing the defensive formation to tremble and shake.

The spear suddenly flashed out dozens of afterimages, then shot out like an arrow, carrying immense force, piercing through the barrier without hindrance, and then closing in to head straight for the old woman's face.

"You overestimate yourself. You clearly know that my level is higher than yours. How can you possibly compare to me?"

The man calmly waved his sleeve, and dozens of illusory figures disappeared into nothingness like mud oxen entering the sea, instantly shredded by spiritual power.

Ju Yuan brandished his spear. "So what if you're stronger than me? Countless people in the Qian Yuan Realm haven't even made it onto the list yet. How do you think I got onto the Chong Xiao Ranking?"

He raised his chin, his voice resounding, and leaped out of the cabin, missing the brief cry from inside: "Don't go out!"

A flash of silver light suddenly exploded behind the man in white, causing him to grunt and leap into the air. "You cheated?"

Ju Yuan gripped his spear with both hands, already poised to strike. "It's just a tactic, how can you call it trickery?"

Summer's previously tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed after that brief farewell, and she turned to look at the cabin door.

The person who should have been "dead" suddenly came back to life, wrapped in a cloak, frowning, looking grave, and muttered, "It's all over."

Originally, the old lady was trying to extort money by staging an accident. According to the traditional method, the person who extorted the money would simply lie down on the ground next to the old lady and that would be the end of it.

But this group of bastards, who are clearly a bad organization, obviously wanted to detain them all. Now that Ju Yuan has left, there are only five Calabash Brothers left on the ship, and they can only be sent away one by one.
