After taking charge of the spirit ship, the two teams of Demon Cult monks conducted a bottom-up search.

First there were several screams, coming from the cargo hold below.

"Kill the lackeys of Liang Guo Zong!"

"Can't afford the ransom?"

"I have signed a contract with the Chamber of Commerce. Can I borrow some spiritual stones from my master?"

Lu Changan secretly observed that except for the monks who were suspected of being members of the sect, everyone else could pay a ransom in exchange for their lives.

Generally speaking, the identity of casual cultivators is greater than that of family cultivators and that of sects.

The Liang Kingdom monk who signed the contract does not have enough spiritual stones, so he can borrow money from his chamber of commerce.

The Chamber of Commerce can further control the additional debt and increase the constraints of the sale contract.

Because of the hope of survival and the strong threat of force, few monks resisted.

The monks of the Jingguo Merchant Alliance want to do business for a long time and would rather lose money to avoid disaster.

Not to mention, Lu Changan suspected that the leading Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce was colluding with the Xuanyin Demon Sect.

The Demon Cult conducts very detailed investigations.

After waiting for half an hour, Lu Changan heard footsteps approaching his room.

Two demon cult monks stepped into the room.

At the same moment, Lu Changan sensed the false elixir-level consciousness lingering on his body.

"Name, identity, origin?"

One of the Demon Cult monks in the late stage of foundation building, holding a special magic weapon, asked.

"Your Excellency Wu Fan, a casual cultivator from the Liang Kingdom, is now a member of the Wufu Chamber of Commerce in the Jing Kingdom."

Lu Changan took out the spiritual contract he had signed before.

The demon sect monk took the spiritual contract, checked it, and asked a few more questions to test the authenticity of Lu Changan's identity as a casual cultivator.

Lu Changan was a casual cultivator, so he gave an accurate answer.

If there is no problem with his identity, he is not a target of the Demon Cult, and his life is not in danger.

"The ransom for the foundation-building monks is six thousand, and the monks from the Jingguo Merchant Alliance must pay half."

"This is the ransom."

Lu Changan was very straightforward and took out three thousand spirit stones.

He has more than 100,000 spiritual stones on his body, and his wealth far exceeds that of the fake elixir real person. This small amount of spiritual stones is not worth mentioning.

But I kept a mental note of the expenses I shouldn’t have spent on the road.

The spiritual stone used to purchase the ferry ticket is recognized by Lu Changan.

He kept a small account of other exploitations, such as high room charges and the payment of spiritual stones as a ransom.

There is no talk of deep hatred.

The rest of life will be long, the road will be boring, and the world will be ups and downs, but there will always be a chance to get back on track.

"Open your storage bag!"

The Demon Cult monk's eyes flashed.

The monks from the Liang Kingdom they had previously searched had been squeezed many times and had almost no spiritual stones on them. They either used magic weapons and materials as discounts at low prices, or borrowed them from the chamber of commerce.

There are very few monks like Lu Changan who can produce three thousand spirit stones.

Lu Changan's expression changed and he seemed slightly hesitant.

"Move quickly, why are you stunned!"

Under the urging of the demon cultivator, he opened his storage bag.

After inspection, the two demon cultivators showed disappointed expressions.

There are not many spirit stones left in the storage bag, and the remaining items are only at the level of a normal mid-stage foundation building.

With this item's value, they are too lazy to find fault and rip it off.

Lu Changan had no expression on his face as he watched the two Demon Cult monks leave.

He had been prepared for this situation since he moved into the guest room.

The storage bag for Lu Changan's valuables and the spiritual pet bag were wrapped in insulating materials made of shadow stone, and were hidden in the corner of the room in conjunction with the concealment restrictions.

Unless a True Alchemy cultivator comes in person, it is possible to see the clues.

Lu Changan passed the test relatively easily.

The purple-faced and muscular Fang Zhong in the next room experienced a thrilling experience.

The Demon Cult monk used a special magic weapon to determine that the exercises he practiced came from the Liang Guo sect.

"Fang is a traitor to the sect! A deserter on the battlefield! His name is on the wanted list... I hope the Holy Religion will take notice!"

Fang Zhong turned pale with fright and revealed his true identity.

"The traitor wanted by the sect? Let this person go."

Xiang Jinglong, who was not far away, heard this, took out a jade tube, checked it, and ordered.

Fang Zhong seemed to have been pardoned, but he had very few spiritual stones left in his body, so he used magical weapons, elixirs, talismans, etc. as deductions, and reluctantly paid the ransom.

…

Two hours later, the search of the guest rooms on the first and second floors of the Spirit Ship was completed.

There were almost no casualties among the monks of the Jing Kingdom Chamber of Commerce.

Some Liang monks were arrested and killed. Some of them were taken away as "suspicious targets".

Lu Changan discovered that most of the "suspicious targets" who were taken away were Liang monks with outstanding skills.

Several of these craftsmen had negotiated with Miss Wei at previous trade fairs.

Because Lu Changan hid his clumsiness and did not reveal his true skills, he avoided trouble.

This group of monks from the Liang Kingdom who boarded the ship were essentially smuggled in illegally and were living under the shelter of others.

It would be good to arrive in Jingguo safely.

It is impossible to enjoy the status and benefits of normal periods.

Whether it is a former foundation-building ancestor or a respected craftsman.

If you can reach the Jing Kingdom and obtain a legal identity, you can regain your status that you once deserved.

"After checking the first and second floors, I went to the third floor."

Lu Changan discovered Xiang Jinglong and another demon sect's fake elixir, and led most of the monks to gather on the third floor.

There are many first-class guest rooms on the third floor of the Lingjian.

No matter which country a monk lives in, his status and background are good.

The Xuanyin Demon Sect should also be treated with caution.

When the Demon Cult monks searched, they were very polite and acted according to the rules.

"take away!"

Miss Wei, who lived in a superior guest room and wore a veil, was taken away by the demon cult monks as a "suspicious target".

Lu Changan secretly thought: Miss Wei had boarded the ship before. She was injured or in trouble, so she left Liang Kingdom with the help of Jiuchen Chamber of Commerce's spiritual ship and returned to the Demon Cult.

At the same time, she served as an internal agent on the ship, finding out the details of the monks and identifying valuable targets.

"Huh? Prince Wang's room, are you planning to leave it for the last search?"

Lu Changan observed the search route led by the two fake alchemy monks and made some assumptions.

Logically speaking, given the location of the prince's room, it would not be left at the end.

The monks of the Demon Sect seemed to do this deliberately.

"The order of searches is from low to high."

"Although the monks who have been searched were slaughtered and paid a ransom, there is no need to risk resistance again after they are out of danger."

Lu Changan's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but guess the devil's plot.

boom!

On the third floor of the Spirit Ship, the window of Prince Wang's superior guest room was smashed to pieces with a slap.

"Be bold!"

Xiang Jinglong and the middle-aged False Dan were already on guard. They punched and palmed each other, and the powerful Dan force was as violent as a torrent, sealing the way out of the window from the window.

"Sir, save me——"
