Adam frowned, this matter had suddenly become complicated, Sam was lying, his spirit stones hadn’t actually been stolen.
Then why was Master Sam lying? Was he trying to draw attention?
Adam’s figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already outside the ferry, he looked down at the entire vessel, hoping to find anything strange.
Since the other party had lured the ship’s guards over there, they had to be making a move elsewhere, but where?
The ferry had arrays to prevent spiritual sense probing, designed to protect guests’ privacy, so Adam could only use his naked eyes.
After circling the ferry once and finding no issues, the unease in his heart grew even stronger, he had to understand Sam’s situation.
Adam knew searching blindly would be difficult, the other party had likely been planning this for a long time.
Boom!
Just as he was about to re-enter the ferry, an explosion rang out from inside.
Adam’s pupils shrank, oh no! His figure vanished, appearing right beside Cecilia.
"Young Master!" Cecilia had also heard the explosion.
"Let’s leave the ferry first!" Wasting no words, Adam grabbed Cecilia’s shoulder and the two vanished from the cabin.
The very instant they left, a formation lit up beneath the ship, enveloping it completely and locking the entire vessel down.
Adam narrowed his eyes, this was the ferry’s protective grand formation, but someone had modified it into a confinement formation, people outside couldn’t get in, and people inside couldn’t get out.
"Young Master, what is going on?" Cecilia asked in bewilderment.
"I suspect we’ve run into ferry hijackers!" Adam could only think of this one possibility, this was the only benefit to locking down the ferry.
"Listen up, everyone on the ferry! You are completely surrounded by us, now, everyone bring your valuables and get up to the deck."
Sure enough, right after Adam spoke, a voice rang out echoing across the entire ferry.
Adam realized that Sam intentionally claiming there was a thief was to lure away a portion of the guards, giving these hijackers time to prepare.
"Young Master, should we interfere?" Cecilia blinked her large eyes and asked.
Adam sighed. "Let’s observe first and see their strength, if they aren’t strong, we’ll help within our capabilities, if they’re too strong, our help would be useless anyway!"
He was not a hot-blooded youth, the fact that he didn’t just leave directly was merely his remaining conscience at work.
"Alright, Young Master!" Cecilia nodded, the two immediately hid within the clouds, observing the ferry.
Not long after, a group appeared on the deck, each one was burly and robust, with fierce and malicious expressions, the leader was a bare-chested, bald brute whose strength was at the Fifth Heaven of the Deity Realm.
This made Adam breathe a sigh of relief, the opponent was strong, but he was stronger.
However, Adam didn’t act rashly, what if the other party had an ambush waiting?
He watched as more people gathered on the deck, but none exceeded the Fifth Heaven of the Deity Realm.
This was quite normal, generally, experts of this caliber were either top-tier VIP guests of a sect, or a sect master themselves, sects possessing such experts would almost certainly have their own transportation.
They wouldn’t ride this kind of crowded public transport.
It was practically impossible for ordinary bandits to have an expert of this level, why would a Fifth Heaven Deity even resort to being a bandit?
Therefore, the standard guard detail for a ferry was one Deity Realm expert paired with several cultivators at the Peak of the Mortal Supreme Realm.
The strongest guard this trip was at the Second Heaven of the Deity Realm, and they had deployed an extra Second Heaven Deity as well. Already an extremely luxurious setup.
But in front of a Fifth Heaven Deity, still far from enough.
Even if there were hidden experts among the crew or passengers, like that young girl, they wouldn’t dare show their faces.
At times like this, bandits loved nothing more than to kill whoever stuck their neck out to make an example.
Watching the sky bandits on the deck, the lingering unease in Adam’s heart still remained.
Logically, after identifying the source of a threat, that ominous feeling should have disappeared.
This was exactly why Adam didn’t simply charge in, it was merely a Fifth Heaven Deity, he could wipe out the bandits with a casual wave of his hand, and he had absolute confidence in protecting the passengers from harm.
Yet that unease continued to haunt him, an unknown danger remained on this ferry.
Adam frowned tightly, reviewing everything in his mind, trying to pinpoint the source, he understood this feeling wouldn’t appear without reason, some crisis he hadn’t yet perceived was hiding in the dark.
He activated his secret technique again, wanting to probe every corner of the ferry, however, the formation was still active, blocking his senses.
"Cecilia, give me two blank formation discs."
"Yes, Young Master!"
Cecilia took two blank formation discs from her storage bag and handed them over, these were prepared by Adam in advance, as long as he carved the corresponding formation runes on them, they would take effect immediately, highly convenient.
The only drawback was that their power wouldn’t be extremely strong, but more than enough to counter the formation on this ship.
"We have to go inside and thoroughly search this ferry!"
Adam finished carving the two formation discs and handed one to Cecilia, he had originally intended to have her wait outside, but the nagging unease made him worried about leaving her alone, so he decided to bring her along.
If a problem arose, he could look after her immediately.
"Understood, Young Master!" Cecilia nodded, a solemn expression in her beautiful eyes, she knew the reason Adam let her tag along was entirely to protect her.
Cecilia tightly gripped the formation disc, feeling the faint formation light swirling on it, her eyes filled with determination, she definitely wouldn’t drag the Young Master down, although she wasn’t as strong as Adam, she had her own persistence and strength.
