Chen Lin put away the spirit boat, activated the basalt shield, hid in the sea, and observed the big ship from afar.
The ship was incredibly large and looked like a giant dragon. It was completely black and covered in a layer of light, so it was impossible to see what was inside.
However, he did not think that this was the Gu family's ship. When chasing the enemy, they would not make it so conspicuous, otherwise the enemy would run away from them.
The big ship was sailing very fast and got much closer in a blink of an eye.
At this time, Chen Lin saw that there was a huge pattern on the hull, like the emblem of a merchant ship.
The big ship did not notice him and passed by from a distance, and in an instant only a black dot was left.
He hesitated for a moment, took out several high-level water escape talismans, sank into the water, sneaked underwater, and followed the other party.
Whether this ship is a merchant ship or a monster hunting ship, it needs to leave this white foggy sea area. If he follows it, he should be able to get out as well.
The only worry is that this ship is a strange existence like the Holy Skeleton Ship, but it doesn't look like one. It doesn't have that kind of strange aura. Moreover, we have finally found a possible way to leave, so we have to follow it even if it is dangerous.
In a flash, three days passed.
Chen Lin followed the big ship all the time, hanging from a distance.
Fortunately, he did not encounter any powerful monsters during this period. He did encounter quite a few low-level ones, but he avoided them all in advance.
So it did not attract the attention of the big ship.
suddenly.
Chen Lin, whose body was lurking underwater and staring at the big ship through the water surface, felt his vision becoming clearer and clearer, and the sense of spatial congestion gradually weakened.
There was a flash of joy in his eyes, and he thought of something.
Sure enough, after diving for a while, the white fog on the sea surface became thinner and finally disappeared completely.
He finally left the White Fog Sea!
"You have been following me for so long, isn't it time for me to come out and meet you?"
Just when Chen Lin was excited, a strong voice suddenly sounded from the big ship.
Then, a man in a purple robe flew up from the boat and looked in the direction where he was.
Chen Lin's heart sank.
He was still a long distance away from the ship, and in order to hide, he had restrained the energy fluctuations on his body to the extreme, and did not even dare to use his spiritual sense. Unexpectedly, he was still discovered.
This means that the other party’s cultivation is much higher than his, at least at the Spirit Transformation Stage.
It was estimated that the other party had discovered him long ago, but did not expose him because they were afraid of any accidents in the white fog sea area. Now that he was out of the white fog sea area, his whereabouts were immediately exposed.
After hesitating for a moment, Chen Lin flew up from under the sea.
"Don't blame me, senior. I was attacked by a monster and mistakenly entered this white fog sea. I got lost in it. When I saw your spiritual boat, I followed it to find a way out. I have no ill intentions."
Now that you've been discovered, just come out openly.
If he leaves directly at this time, he will be considered to have some intention. If this provokes the other party to take action, the consequences will be unpredictable.
The purple-robed man stared at Chen Lin for a while, and said expressionlessly: "I wonder which sect you are from, and where are you going now?"
Chen Lin did not hesitate and said immediately: "I am a casual cultivator with no fixed place to live. Now I plan to go to Xiaoyun City in Tianfang Continent."
He didn't say too much in detail, because he didn't know whether they were on the Xuanyue Continent side or the Tianfang Continent side, nor did he know whether the other party was related to the Gu family, so he could only be vague about it.
He also mentioned Xiaoyun City casually.
The name of this city was something he had seen before when he was exploring information about the Tianfang Continent. It was a large city on the sea.
"oh?"
The purple-robed man raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Then he said, "Fellow Daoist, are you going to Xiaoyun City? That's perfect. Our ship is also going back to Tianfang Continent. You can go back with us. Otherwise, this place is very far from the land. If you go alone, it may not be smooth."
Chen Lin pondered for a moment, then said with gratitude, "Thank you very much, Senior. I will repay you for your help when I have the chance."
But then he said again: "But I will not get on the ship. I have my own spiritual boat. I will just follow your sect's ship. If you are interested, you can come to my spiritual boat to taste my spiritual wine."
After saying that, he released the spirit boat and stood on it.
The other party wanted to take him with them, not because they really wanted to help him, but because they were worried that he had some intentions, so they wanted to keep him by their side to monitor him.
But he didn't dare to board the other ship.
Who knows if the other party has bad intentions? Once you get on the boat, you will be at their mercy.
The purple-robed man smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist is a cautious person. Well, I will ask you to have a few cups and taste your wine!"
After he finished speaking, his figure flashed and landed on Chen Lin's spirit boat.
Chen Lin frowned.
The fluctuations of magic power displayed by the other party have indeed reached the level of spiritual transformation.
However, the other party was not aggressive, nor did he rely on his skills to attack directly, and seemed to have a good character.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party does not know his background and dare not act rashly, so he is so kind.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin shook his sleeves, and a set of tables and chairs appeared on the spirit boat. Then he took out his own brewed spirit wine and made a gesture of invitation.
“Senior, please!”
After filling a cup, Chen Lin used his magic power to wrap it and sent it to the other party.
The man in purple robe glanced at Chen Lin, took the wine glass and drank it all.
“Good wine!”
With a compliment, he took a chair and sat down, looking at it and said, "Daoyou's spiritual boat is quite good, and it is considered to be of a higher level among pseudo spiritual treasures. However, the Red Moon Sea is full of dangers. With Daoyou's cultivation, you can't survive in the sea with only this spiritual boat. I guess you have other companions?"
Chen Lin's eyes flickered slightly.
The other party's action of drinking the spirit wine without any scruples just now was to show him that the other party was absolutely confident and didn't care about any of his methods at all.
Now he asked directly, without any beating around the bush, which showed his heroism and made his attitude clear.
He hesitated for a moment, then sat down as well, saying, "To be honest, Senior, I do have some companions, most of whom have higher cultivation than me, but we encountered danger in the White Fog Sea and had to flee separately. I was lucky enough to save my life, but I lost my way. I wandered in the White Fog Sea for several months and could not find a way out. Fortunately, Senior's large ship showed up, so I was able to leave."
"You stayed in the White Mist Sea for several months?"
The purple-robed man looked surprised.
Then he nodded and said, "It is indeed rare that you can survive."
Then he stopped talking and even closed his eyes slightly, looking like he didn't want to continue communicating.
Seeing this, Chen Lin's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything else. Instead, he carefully controlled the spirit boat and followed the big ship.
Months passed in a flash.
One day, Chen Lin stood on the bow of the boat and looked into the distance. He saw a piece of land coming into view and his face immediately showed joy.
"Well, after bothering you for so long, I should leave now. If you go to the area of my Yuling Sect in the future, you can find me at the sect. My name is Lu Shenxing!"
The purple-robed man opened his eyes, stood up, said something with a smile, then turned into a ray of purple light and returned to the ship.
The speed of the ship suddenly increased and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
After a long time, Chen Lin withdrew his gaze and looked thoughtful.
Along the way, no other cultivators were seen coming out of the ship, and the man in purple robe remained silent, as if he was simply monitoring him.
He became more and more certain that it was his action of traveling alone in the white fog sea that made the other party feel fearful, which led to this behavior.
From this, it seems that the things on the big ship must be very important, which is why the other party, a Jindan cultivator, treated his Yuanying cultivator so cautiously.
After thinking for a while, he smiled.
What the other party was transporting had nothing to do with him, and he had no complaints about being monitored along the way. He even had to thank the other party for bringing him to the Tianfang Continent.
The other party's route must have been used countless times. After sailing for several months, they basically did not encounter any high-level monsters. It was smoother than one could imagine. If he were to rush around on his own, it would be hard to say how long he would drift on the sea, and it was unknown whether he could survive.
Without thinking any more, Chen Lin put away his spirit boat and controlled the light to shoot towards the land.
Giant Whale City.
After stepping on land, Chen Lin came to the nearest city and inquired about the situation first.
Then he confirmed that this was indeed the Tianfang Continent, but it was the southern end of the Tianfang Continent, far away from Tongtian City in the center of the continent where he wanted to go, and even farther from the space node where the Crystal Clan was going.
However, since he has arrived in Tianfang Continent, he no longer needs to contact the Crystal Clan. The other party has no way to go to Hongshan Continent. Even if he contacts them, it will be useless and he will run the risk of being discovered by the Gu Family.
Chen Lin plans to go to Tongtian City by himself.
First go find the person Murong Qing mentioned and see if we can find a channel to Hongshan Continent.
If that doesn't work, I can only think of a way myself. Hongshan Continent is not a desolate place. It's such a large continent with hundreds of millions of people. It's impossible that there are no cultivators coming in and out. There must be a way to get through.
After browsing the city for two days and gathering enough information, Chen Lin set off to leave.
After two days of investigation, he has learned about the situation of the Yuling Sect.
This sect was a large force, not much inferior to the Yingyue Palace. The sect master was a high-level Taoist refining expert, and was very famous in the Tianfang Continent.
The sect was mainly engaged in animal taming and they often went into the sea to capture spiritual beasts. The emblem on the large ship was indeed the symbol of the Spirit Taming Sect.
It seems that the man in purple robe did not lie.
After Chen Lin learned about this, he developed a keen interest in this sect, not for any other reason but simply because this sect often went into the sea to capture spiritual beasts.
He often goes to the sea, so he must be very familiar with the waters around Tianfang Continent. If he cannot find other channels to go to Hongshan Continent, he will have to cross the sea to Bailing Continent first. If he can get a safe route chart from the other party, his safety will be greatly increased.
Secretly remembering the name Lu Shenxing in his heart, he steered the spirit boat and headed straight for Xiaoyun City.
