Chapter 405: Stalking
Chapter 405 – Tracking
“It should just be a coincidence that the man left.”
Zhan Fu had been keeping an eye on the movements of the cloaked cultivator, and sighed with relief at the sight.
“I, on the other hand, feel that it may not be.”
Zhan Luo looked around, the teleportation array leading to the large island could similarly accommodate ten people.
It should be due to the fact that the teleportation array had been activated not long ago, and at this moment, including the four of them, there were only five people in the waiting room.
“What Third Miss said is good, that person leaving right now might be covering his tracks, and by simply rushing here before the array is activated, he won’t lose us even more.”
A cold aura crossed Zhao Hu Cheng’s eyes, “If that person didn’t come, then there is only one possibility, he doesn’t have enough spirit stones on him.”
Traveling to a large island from here would cost as much as 100,000 spirit stones.
In the previous two teleportations, that person had already spent one hundred thousand spirit stones, it was not unreasonable for Zhao Hu Cheng to deduce this.
“I do hope that he doesn’t give up that early. To be able to be seen by Uncle Zhao to have traces of Qi Changing, it means that his cultivation is not as good as Uncle Zhao’s, and is only at the Foundation Establishment Stage.”
A hint of amusement flashed through Zhan Luo’s eyes, “Daring to follow me with a mere Foundation Establishment cultivation, I really don’t know if he’s bold, or if he has a big heart.”
There was a hidden uneasiness in Zhan Fu’s heart, and his eyes landed on the dumbfounded Cheng Qingjia, revealing a vicious color.
“Miss, bringing this person along is really a bit of a constraint, why don’t we …… bring him along?”
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Luo revealed a disapproving look, “No.”
Cheng Qingjia was too resistant, even if the two of them had held a ceremony and she had left a brand in his Yuan Shen, forcibly refining the soul blood would have less than a thirty percent chance of success.
She had prepared for so many years in order to obtain something like that, how could she endure this success rate of less than 30%?
If Cheng Qingjia was willing, she was 90% sure that she could successfully refine the soul blood.
Originally, she was on the verge of success when she compelled his sanity.
However, at the last critical moment, Cheng Qingjia came to his senses in the midst of his struggle and forcibly sealed his three souls, causing her to lose all her efforts.
Thinking of this, a cold aura flashed through Zhan Luo’s eyes.
So what if he sealed his three souls, she would bring him to that place, and at that time, she would invoke the qi of the four directions, and she would not be afraid of not being able to break the boundary.
As for the person who was secretly following her, if she dared to follow her, she would definitely tell him not to come back.
Zhan Luo closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, waiting for the people in the waiting room to come together, before opening her eyes and heading towards the transmission array.
Xu Chuniang took advantage of the time when several people were waiting in the waiting room, and left the teleportation hall, changing her body’s breath and appearance a little bit, and taking off her cloak and changing her robes, before she blended into the waiting room.
She knew that she wouldn’t be able to hide this change from Zhan Luo and the others, but it was good to cover up for a while.
After arriving at the large island, Zhan Luo and the others still didn’t leave the teleportation hall, but chose another medium sized island.
Xu Chuniang secretly grumbled in her heart, as she followed them on this journey, she had already spent 200,000 spirit stones on the road, leaving only 60,000 spirit stones in her hand.
After paying another 50,000, she only had 10,000 spirit stones left on her body. If they hadn’t arrived at their destination yet, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to follow them.
Fortunately, after Zhan Luo and the others arrived at the newest medium sized island, they finally didn’t pay any more spirit stones and left the teleportation hall.
Seeing this, Xu Chuniang let out a long sigh of relief, and instead of rashly following a few people, her divine sense quietly probed into the Sea Traveling Order, closely observing the movements of the small black dot.
After the small black dot left the teleportation hall, it headed in one direction, looking as if it was going to leave the island.
Xu Chuniang didn’t dare to slacken off and followed the little black dot from afar.
An hour later, the little black dot successfully left the island and headed east.
Xu Chuniang followed closely behind and left the island, and was about to head east when her heart suddenly stirred.
There were many cultivators on the island, and there was a no-fly formation, so the little black dot moved very slowly when it was on the island.
After leaving the island, the sea is vast, their speed should increase a lot. But in reality, the speed of the few of them was not that fast, only two or three times faster than on the island.
Unless …… Zhan Luo several people noticed that there were people following behind them, deliberately so, so as to draw out the people following behind them.
Xu Chuniang thought for a moment, but she didn’t follow them, instead, she turned back to the island.
If her guess was true, then the direction that Zhan Luo Luo was heading to right now was not the true purpose of their trip.
Anyway, within the 30,000 mile range, she could grasp Cheng Qingjia’s traces at any time, so it wouldn’t be too late to follow them when they traveled farther.
She was running out of Spirit Stones, so she took this opportunity to go and get rid of some Spirit Wine and change some Spirit Stones on her body, so that she could also cope with the emergency needs.
On the other side, Zhan Luo and her party traveled eastward with their swords for another two hours.
Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the sea behind them was empty, and there was no trace of anything.
Zhan Luo finally stopped walking and looked back to the road, “Uncle Zhao, did that person not follow you?”
Zhao Hucheng slowly shook his head, “I haven’t relaxed my divine sense, I didn’t find any abnormality, in all likelihood, he didn’t follow me.”
“Pity.”
The bottom of Zhan Luo’s eyes revealed a faint regret, the other party wasn’t even a Jindan, so they dared to follow all the way, she thought it was a bold one.
Right now, it seemed that it was actually nothing more than a person who was greedy and afraid of death.
If she wanted to go through that person and find out who was secretly spying on her, it wouldn’t be that easy.
“Miss, then what do we do now? Go back to the island first?”
Zhan Fu opened his mouth with some hesitation, he had been following Miss for more than thirty years, although he didn’t know exactly what she was planning, he also knew that this matter was very important to her.
“No need, since that person refuses to show his face, it is useless for us to return to the island. Let’s go directly to that place.”
After Zhan Luo finished speaking, she changed directions and headed north.
Just as several people changed directions, Xu Chuniang, who had been keeping an eye on the movements of the small black dot, immediately noticed something.
She knew in her heart that she had guessed correctly, and was afraid that where the other party was going right now was the real target place.
Without further hesitation, Xu Chunniang headed north.
After leaving the island, she collected her breath and dived into the sea, following the back of the small black dot.
Her divine sense was comparable to that of a Jindan, and she knew the maximum extent of a Jindan cultivator’s divine sense range like the back of her hand.
Therefore, she controlled the distance between herself and the small black dot within a category that was not too far but not too close, so that it would not be detected by Zhao Hucheng, but not too far apart.
After traveling like this for a few days, a hint of foreboding suddenly arose in Zhan Luo’s heart, and she abruptly stopped.
As soon as she stopped, several other people also stopped with her.
Zhan Fu was somewhat puzzled, “Miss?”
In the past few days, it was already the third time that Miss had stopped like this for no reason.
Zhan Luo took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Hucheng, “Uncle Zhao, are you sure no one is following behind you?”
Zhao Hucheng nodded with great certainty, “I’m sure. Moreover, this sea is empty and boundless, whether or not there is anyone following can be seen at a glance.”
Zhan Luo was noncommittal, her eyes slightly drooping down to fall on the calm sea surface, meaning something.
“If someone sneaks into the sea, this sea is an excellent barrier.”
