Qiuyue looked on in surprise. "More enemies? Wasn't that Black Infant eliminated?"

"No, to be precise, that Black Infant is called Soul Devourer, the so-called ninth son of the Evil God!"

Ye Jing then told Qiuyue the information he had just received!

"What? Evil God? Why have I never heard of this title before?"

Qiuyue's beautiful brows furrowed; she had never heard of this title before!

"Don't worry too much, just remember that they can't descend into this world right now. We'll just have to be more careful in the future." Ye Jing told Qiuyue about this so that Qiuyue would pay attention to it.

"Understood, young master!" Qiuyue nodded and continued, "Young master, what about the people on the ferry?"

"I have one more thing to ask them."

Ye Jing now wants to find out who helped the Evil God descend!

He was lucky this time; he and Qiuyue just happened to run into each other!

If the gestation of Evil God were to take place in a secluded corner next time, the outcome would be far worse than it is now!

Judging from the name of the Evil God and the behavior of His ninth son, these things are definitely not benevolent!

Their appearance in this world would absolutely be another disaster!

The Profound Yellow Great World is already in dire straits enough!

The two returned to the ferry and went to the inner canteen, where everyone had gathered.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Ye Jing and Qiuyue return!

That strange thing should have been eliminated!

"Qiuyue, wake everyone up!" Ye Jing said calmly, looking at everyone.

Although those who fainted were ordinary people or those of low spiritual level, it cannot be ruled out that ordinary people could also perform the ritual.

"Yes, young master!"

Qiuyue nodded, and a burst of light emanated from her hand as she threw it at the unconscious people.

"Awakening Technique!"

These are basic spells; most cultivators know them!

Soon, the people who had fainted gradually regained consciousness.

"Cough cough!"

Ye Jing coughed, drawing everyone's attention.

"I've already eliminated that Black Infant, so everyone doesn't need to worry. However, the appearance of that Black Infant was due to a gestation ritual set up at the bottom of the ship's hold."

Ye Jing then coldly swept his gaze across the crowd, his aura exuding power. "So, someone is helping that evil being descend, and it's very likely one of you here. So, anyone who knows anything about this, please tell me!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed. They knew that what Ye Jing said was true; the Black Infant (Soul Devourer) had indeed been destroyed by Ye Jing!

However, Ye Jing's words also filled them with terror. Someone was secretly helping them descend upon the Evil God —how could they possibly trust the people around them?

An eerie silence fell over the ferry as everyone lost in their own thoughts, creating a tense atmosphere.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Ye Jing felt helpless; he knew this was a clumsy method.

But he had no choice, because he couldn't be sure who was behind it all. He had to leave the ferry soon!

"I know who it is!"

Just then, a voice broke the silence, and everyone looked over to see a burly middle-aged man step forward, his face full of anger!

"Oh? You know? Tell me about it!"

Ye Jing looked at the middle-aged man, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. He could sense that the man wasn't lying and probably really knew something!

"Young Master Ye, it was the ship owner. He orchestrated all of this in secret. One night, when I got up to use the restroom, I secretly saw him heading towards the lower deck. A ship owner wouldn't go there unless there was a reason!"

The middle-aged man took a deep breath, suppressed his fear, and told the whole story!

"You're talking nonsense! When did I ever go to the bottom deck?"

A richly dressed man with a large gold ring on his short, thick finger suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with fear, and pointed at the middle-aged man.

"You, Luo Yong, you've framed me like this, haven't you? I shouldn't have recruited you on board in the first place!"

After saying that, he immediately looked at Ye Jing, his face full of panic and flattery, and said:

"Young master, I am absolutely not the one who arranged the ceremony. I am wealthy and carefree, why would I work for Evil God? It doesn't make sense. Please don't believe that guy, he's wicked!"

Ye Jing looked at the ship owner in front of him, not really believing him. After all, if the other party was one of the Evil God, it would be very easy for him to tell lies.

However, he didn't act directly, since he couldn't kill someone without evidence.

"Alright, I know who it is!"

Ye Jing said calmly, then looked at Qiuyue: "Qiuyue, let's do it!"

Upon hearing this, Qiuyue immediately summoned an array plate!

"This is a lie detector array. If you lie, you will be struck by lightning!"

The array plate was thrown at the ship owner's feet, and the array light shone.

"Did you orchestrate a ritual to conceive Evil God?"

Qiuyue asked directly.

"I didn't, absolutely not!" the ship owner replied immediately.

No lightning struck.

The truth!

Ye Jing narrowed his eyes. Even if someone at the Divine Realm Layer Nine came, this array would still be effective, because he had incorporated the aura of the Chaos Green Lotus, which would absolutely suppress the Divine Soul in terms of rank.

Could this ship owner in front of me possibly have reached the Saint Realm?

Of course, it's also possible that Evil God helped.

"Qiuyue, give that crew member a try!"

Upon hearing this, Qiuyue controlled the array plate to fly to the feet of the crew member.

"Did you slander the captain?"

"No, I didn't!"

Still no lightning strike!

The truth.

Ye Jing narrowed his eyes. If this was all true, then something was strange. Who was lying?

Ye Jing turned his attention back to the captain. As the captain, he should have more space and resources to arrange those ceremonies.

"Young master, I'll talk, I'll talk! That night I actually went to the lower deck of the ship for a tryst." After saying this, the captain pulled up a beautiful woman next to one of the men in the crowd!

"That's her!"

Everyone was shocked; could this really be the case?

Not to mention her husband beside her, who looked utterly bewildered. Was this some kind of mistake?

Is this his wife?

You just pulled it up like that?

You're making me very embarrassed!

Where will I put my pride?

"Hey, what are you doing!"

The beautiful woman felt a little embarrassed by the stares of the crowd.

Qiuyue's lips twitched. She placed the array plate at the feet of the two men, asked again, and confirmed that the captain was telling the truth.

And so, the situation reached a stalemate once again.

"Don't waste your energy, the person who arranged the ceremony is already dead!"

Suddenly, a girl's voice echoed in Ye Jing's mind.

He looked over in surprise and discovered that it was the young girl thief.

How did you know?

He replied telepathically.

"Because I saw it. I'm a thief, I like to wander around on boats all the time. You have to agree to one condition before I tell you the details!"

The girl looked at Ye Jing with bright, sparkling eyes and said.
