Chapter 261
One careless mistake, and they would instantly provoke the fury of everyone backing him, if that happened, the Deep Clan would be in grave danger.
"Right, Father, that kid seems to be preparing to go out to sea," an elder behind Carlos suddenly spoke up.
"He appears to be purchasing a ship."
"What?" Carlos’s eyes lit up.
"Is he really going out to sea?"
If that was true, their golden opportunity had finally arrived.
At the shipyard, Adam looked at the brand-new ship before him with profound satisfaction.
"Alrighty, sir! I’ll go get it prepared for you right away!" The attendant following Adam around instantly had stars in his eyes.
A massive order just landed.
"Good!" Adam nodded.
This was a top-tier Spirit Ship, capable of withstanding attacks from Deity Realm experts, boasting incredibly robust defenses, coupled with the formations he planned to lay down, even high-level Deity Realm experts wouldn’t gain any advantage against it.
He firmly believed the Deep Clan wouldn’t just let him off the hook.
Therefore, he had to be fully prepared, Heaven only knew what dirty tricks the Deep Clan would pull, he had spent 5 million top-tier spirit stones on this ship.
You truly get what you pay for, and he was highly satisfied with the result.
With this ship, if the Deep Clan came knocking, he would have plenty of room to properly entertain them. He would make sure whoever they sent would never return.
"Young Master, all the supplies for our sea voyage have been purchased." A dark, scrawny girl walked up to Adam’s side.
"Mhm, let’s head back and get ready, it’s time to leave!" Adam nodded, and he and Cecilia left the port.
Back at the Deep Clan compound, Carlos’s expression turned sinister upon receiving news that Adam had bought a ship.
"Patriarch, that kid is truly going out to sea."
"Excellent! As long as he heads out to sea, he is dead without a doubt!" A murderous glint flashed in the Patriarch’s eyes.
Even if Adam had bought a Spirit Ship, going out to sea was still a guaranteed death sentence.
As a major family in a coastal megacity, they were naturally familiar with the ocean.
Out on the open sea, the Deep Clan’s true strength could be unleashed to its maximum.
A kid who hadn’t reached the Deity Realm, no matter how many tricks he had, was destined to die.
"Make the arrangements, dispatch the elites, and make sure not to alert them." The Patriarch ordered slowly.
"Yes, sir!" Carlos nodded and immediately went to make arrangements.
The Deep Clan possessed immense influence in Hundred Rivers City, so quietly dispatching men was simple, out on the ocean, they had their own secret forces.
As long as Adam set sail, he was a dead man walking.
After finishing the remaining pill refinement commissions at the Rosy Cloud Pill Pavilion, Adam and Cecilia boarded their Spirit Ship the next morning.
"Young Master, it’s time to set off." Standing on deck, Cecilia infused her spiritual energy into the control center.
The ship slowly began to move, this was the advantage of a Spirit Ship, it didn’t require a massive crew.
As long as there was a cultivator, they could pilot it alone.
"Alright." Adam nodded, his gaze subtly shifted toward a hidden corner, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
These guys act pretty fast.
In that hidden corner, Carlos and a group of Deep Clan experts were monitoring Adam’s Spirit Ship, upon seeing it set sail, they didn’t rush to follow.
Instead, they carefully memorized the exact appearance of his vessel.
"Hurry back and report to the Patriarch! That kid has officially left Hundred Rivers City." Carlos ordered a guard beside him.
"Yes, sir!" The guard’s figure instantly vanished.
A sneer crept onto Carlos’s face, as long as Adam entered the sea, they would notify the pirates roaming the waters.
The moment they spotted his ship, they were to report immediately, when the time came, even if that kid grew wings, he wouldn’t make it out alive.
Adam’s Spirit Ship had been sailing for a full day.
The winds were calm, the waves peaceful, and no accidents had occurred, although the time had been short, they had covered a massive distance, this was a Spirit Ship, after all, its speed was vastly superior to ordinary vessels.
However, looking at the sea chart in his hand, Adam noted it would still take two more days to reach his first planned destination island.
"Young Master, we have a situation! To our east and west, four pirate ships are rapidly approaching!" Cecilia rushed out of the captain’s cabin and reported calmly.
"It’s fine, they are exactly who we are waiting for, keep sailing." Adam smiled faintly.
The Deep Clan really has no patience, they truly hadn’t dared touch him inside Hundred Rivers City, but the moment he sailed into a slightly more remote stretch of sea, they were ready to strike.
"Yes, Young Master." Cecilia nodded and returned to the captain’s cabin.
Very quickly, four pirate ships appeared in Adam’s line of sight, forming a pincer formation, they completely surrounded his Spirit Ship.
A massive mob of pirates swarmed onto their decks, looking at Adam with great amusement, seeing him standing alone at the bow, they revealed cruel, bloodthirsty smiles.
A kid who hasn’t even reached the Deity Realm, no matter what tricks he has, is dead meat.
"Kid, turn off your ship’s defensive barrier and hand over your storage bags, and we will spare your life!" A man who appeared to be the pirate captain stepped out from the mob.
"The Deep Clan sent you, didn’t they?" Standing at the bow, Adam looked utterly indifferent.
The pirate captain froze, how did this kid guess it instantly?
"Haha! Kid, being too smart isn’t a good thing, originally, I was going to show mercy and let you keep your life as long as you handed over the spirit stones."
"But now... you must absolutely die!"
The pirate captain’s face was chillingly grim, their collusion with the Deep Clan had always been a strictly guarded secret.
