After stepping out of the tavern, Xu Chunniang was about to return to the yard when she suddenly felt something in her consciousness.
The small black dot in the token moved.
Unlike before when it only moved around in the yard, this time, the little black dot directly left the yard.
At the same time, the rove beetle guarding outside the house discovered the movement.
With the help of the perception of the rove beetle, Xu Chunniang detected that a total of four auras left the house.
Among them, there was an aura that was particularly strong, and it should be the Jindan cultivator Zhao Hucheng.
The other three were Zhan Yingluo, Zhan Fu and Cheng Qingjia.
Cheng Qingjia's eyes were dull and lifeless as he stood beside the three people, walking and stopping as they did, as if he had lost consciousness.
As soon as Zhao Hucheng stepped out of the house, he suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if he was being secretly spied on.
His eyes darkened slightly, and his spiritual awareness was released, quietly sweeping around.
"What's wrong?"
Zhan Yingluo noticed that his expression was strange and became secretly alert.
"Nothing, just some little bugs."
Zhao Hucheng spoke calmly, and with a flick of his spiritual consciousness, he strangled all the hidden rove beetles to death.
In just a moment, more than a dozen tiny insect corpses fell to the ground in front of the three people.
"Is this... an insect monster?"
Zhan Futong's eyes shrank slightly. "There is a powerful protective formation on Pingfeng Island, and this place is close to the center of the island. How could so many low-level monsters suddenly appear?"
Zhan Yingluo glanced at the insect corpses on the ground, and after a careful observation, her eyes gradually became deep.
"Anything abnormal must be a monster. There is no way these weak bugs can break through the island protection formation. In all likelihood, someone brought them to the island. Uncle Zhao, can you recognize what kind of bugs these are?"
When Zhao Hucheng used his spiritual sense to kill the insects, he noticed that they were poisonous.
But with his Jindan stage cultivation, this weak poison could not hurt him at all.
Zhao Hucheng stretched out his hand and flicked it downwards, and more than ten insect corpses fell into his palm.
After reading it over and over again, he shook his head slightly.
"This insect is the only one I have ever seen in my life, but its wings are transparent and almost invisible, and it is silent when flying. I suspect someone released it on purpose."
"Senior Zhao, do you mean that someone is secretly monitoring our whereabouts?"
Zhan Fu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but turn to look at Zhan Yingluo, "Miss, then our trip is exposed under the eyes of others..."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Yingluo not only did not get angry, but instead smiled.
"Interesting, how dare they monitor me so openly. Only a few people know about my private residence. I wonder if this person behind the scenes is the two great families of Pingfeng Island, or my good seventh uncle?"
"If it's the head of the Zhan family, it's fine. He's in the five southern islands and can't do anything. But if it's those two families, will it have an impact on us?"
A trace of worry flashed across Zhan Fu's face. After the two families learned that the young lady had chosen a man from the Cheng family as her Taoist partner, although they did not say anything openly, they were actually dissatisfied.
Zhan Yingluo's smile deepened, "Why are you panicking? I haven't done anything shameful. Even if they are dissatisfied, can they really attack a junior like me?"
She had a guess in her heart that the person who was secretly monitoring her with the insect-like monster was most likely her seventh uncle Zhan Siming.
He must have discovered something unusual about the clan's treasure house and suspected her, but he had no concrete evidence, so he did this.
Unfortunately, she would not give him the opportunity to continue exploring.
Zhan Yingluo made an immediate decision and led a few people towards the teleportation array on Pingfeng Island.
Just as the few people were taking action, Xu Chunniang, who had been paying attention to the movements of the small black dot and following them closely, frowned slightly after discovering their destination.
They have only been in Pingfeng Island for three months, are they going back to the five southern islands? Or... does Zhan Yingluo have another purpose for this trip
Afraid of losing Cheng Qingjia even more, Xu Chunniang quickened her pace and closed the distance between her and the small black dot.
Fortunately, when she arrived at the teleportation hall, the other party had not left yet.
The monk guarding the teleportation array stopped her and did a routine check, "Sea Travel Order."
The Sea Travel Order is an identity token. On Pingfeng Island, this order is required whether you are leaving or entering the island.
Xu Chunniang took out her identity token and the man checked it carefully before letting her pass.
She breathed a sigh of relief, pulled down the brim of her cloak, and after paying 50,000 spirit stones, she calmly walked into the waiting room of a teleportation formation.
On this medium-sized island, in addition to the teleportation arrays leading to the small islands under its jurisdiction, there are also some teleportation arrays that can lead to other medium-sized islands and even large islands.
What Xu Chunniang was going to at this time was another medium-sized island that was slightly larger.
There were originally seven people in the waiting room, and after she joined, more than an hour passed before there were ten people in total.
Xu Chunniang's eyes opened and closed slightly, and after seeing Zhan Yingluo and others step into the formation, she finally stood up and stepped into the formation.
The teleportation array was activated, and after a dazzling white light, the ten people in the array disappeared.
And in the teleportation array on another island, ten more figures appeared.
After Xu Chunniang regained consciousness, she did not act rashly.
When Zhan Yingluo and the other three woke up and walked out of the formation, she followed them slowly out.
But after the four people walked out of the formation, showed their sea travel orders and paid the spirit stones again, they turned back and entered the waiting room of another teleportation formation.
There were originally five people in that waiting room, and after four people joined, there were nine people in total. It was possible that the full number of people would be gathered at any time to activate the teleportation formation.
Xu Chunniang saw this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly.
After a moment's hesitation, she silently paid the spirit stones and followed the four people into the waiting room.
Although traveling together twice in a row would most likely arouse suspicion from Zhan Yingluo and the others, it was better than losing them.
When she glanced at Cheng Qingjia, she noticed that something was wrong with him. His eyes looked dull and his expression was dazed.
Although I don’t know what happened exactly, I don’t think it was a good thing.
When the monk, who was wearing a cloak and covered in black robes and whose identity could not be identified as a man or a woman, stepped into the waiting room, Zhan Yingluo seemed to notice something and glanced at Zhao Hucheng.
Zhao Hucheng nodded to her imperceptibly and then whispered something to her secretly.
"This person has the aura of being able to change his appearance and shape, and he has been following us all the way. He might be the master of those insect beasts."
Zhan Yingluo retracted her gaze, walked towards the teleportation array in front of her, and replied through voice transmission.
"It could also be a coincidence, let's wait and see. Anyway, where we are going is far away, and I don't know how many spirit stones that person has if he wants to catch up with us."
A flash of white light appeared in the teleportation array.
Xu Chunniang was already very skilled in dealing with the power of teleportation and quickly regained consciousness.
After seeing Zhan Yingluo and the other three step out of the formation, and then pay a large sum of spirit stones, and return to the waiting room leading to the large island, she lowered her eyes slightly and left the teleportation hall.
