"That person left. It should be just a coincidence."
Zhan Fu had been keeping an eye on the movements of the cloaked monk and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.
“But I think that may not be the case.”
Zhan Yingluo looked around and found that the teleportation array leading to the large island could also accommodate ten people.
It should be because the teleportation array was activated not long ago. At this moment, including the four of them, there were only five people in the waiting room.
"Miss Third is right. That person may have left to conceal his whereabouts. We just need to arrive before the formation is activated, and we won't be embarrassed any more."
A cold light flashed across Zhao Hucheng's eyes. "If that person didn't come, there is only one possibility. He doesn't have enough spirit stones."
It would cost up to 100,000 spirit stones to travel from here to a large island.
In the previous two teleportations, the man had already spent 100,000 spirit stones. Zhao Hucheng's inference was not unreasonable.
"I hope he doesn't give up so early. The fact that Uncle Zhao could see the traces of him changing his Qi and body shape shows that his cultivation is not as good as Uncle Zhao's, and he is only at the Foundation Establishment stage."
A hint of interest flashed in Zhan Yingluo's eyes. "He dares to follow me with only his foundation building level. I don't know if he is bold or daring."
Zhan Fu felt a little uneasy, his eyes fell on Cheng Qingjia who was standing there in silence, and a ruthless look appeared in his eyes.
"Miss, it's really a bit restrictive to take this person with you. Why don't you take him..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhan Yingluo showed a look of disapproval, "No."
Cheng Qingjia was too resistant. Even though the two of them performed a ceremony and she left a mark in his soul, the chance of success in forcibly refining his soul and blood was less than 30%.
She had prepared for so many years to get that thing, how could she tolerate a success rate of less than 30%
If Cheng Qingjia is willing, she is 90% sure that she can successfully refine the soul blood.
Originally, she was almost successful in bewitching his mind.
But at the last critical moment, Cheng Qingjia woke up from the struggle and forcibly sealed her three souls, causing her to fail.
Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Zhan Yingluo's eyes.
So what if he sealed his three souls? She would take him to that place and then attract the energy from all directions, so there would be no need to worry about not being able to break the barrier.
As for the person who follows us secretly, if he dares to follow us, he will be made to come and never return.
Zhan Yingluo closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep. She waited until everyone in the waiting room was gathered before she opened her eyes and headed towards the teleportation array.
While several people were waiting in the waiting room, Xu Chunniang left the teleportation hall, slightly changed her aura and appearance, took off her cloak and changed into a robe, and then blended into the waiting room.
She knew that this change might not be hidden from Zhan Yingluo and others, but it would be good to conceal it for a while.
After arriving at the large island, Zhan Yingluo and her companions did not leave the teleportation hall, but chose another medium-sized island.
Xu Chunniang secretly groaned in her heart. She had already spent 200,000 spirit stones on travel expenses while following them, and only had 60,000 spirit stones left.
After paying another 50,000, she would only have the last 10,000 spirit stones left. If they hadn't reached their destination yet, she was afraid she would no longer have the energy to follow them.
Fortunately, after arriving at the newest medium-sized island, Zhan Yingluo and her companions finally stopped paying any more spirit stones and left the teleportation hall directly.
Xu Chunniang heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing this. She did not rashly follow the others, but quietly probed into the sea order and closely observed the movements of the small black dot.
After the small black dot left the teleportation hall, it headed in one direction, and it seemed that it was going to leave the island.
Xu Chunniang did not dare to relax and followed the little black dot from a distance.
An hour later, the small black dot successfully left the island and headed east.
Xu Chunniang followed him and left the island. Just as she was about to head east, she suddenly had an idea.
There are many monks on the island, and there is a no-fly formation, so the small black dot moves very slowly on the island.
After leaving the island, the sea was vast and their speed should have increased a lot.
But in fact, their speed was not that fast, only two or three times faster than on the island.
Unless... Zhan Yingluo and the others noticed that someone was following them, so they did this on purpose to lure out the person who was following them.
Xu Chunniang thought for a moment and finally did not follow him. Instead, she turned back to the island.
If her guess was true, then the direction that Zhan Yingluo was heading at the moment was not the real purpose of their trip.
Anyway, within a range of 30,000 miles, she can always keep track of Cheng Qingjia's whereabouts, and it won't be too late to catch up with them when they go further away.
She had run out of spirit stones, so she took this opportunity to sell some spirit wine and exchange them for some spirit stones to keep for emergencies.
On the other side, Zhan Yingluo and her group flew eastward on their swords and traveled for another two hours.
As the sky was getting dark, the sea behind him was empty and there was no trace of anything.
Zhan Yingluo finally stopped and looked back, "Uncle Zhao, didn't that person follow us?"
Zhao Hucheng shook his head slowly. "I have been sending out my spiritual sense without slacking off. I didn't find anything abnormal. It is very likely that he didn't follow."
“What a pity.”
There was a hint of regret in Zhan Yingluo's eyes. The other party was not even a Golden Elixir, but he dared to follow her all the way. She thought he was a courageous person.
At the moment, it seems that he is just a coward who is afraid of death.
It would not be easy to find out the person who was secretly spying on her through that person.
"Miss, what should we do now? Should we go back to the island first?"
Zhan Fu spoke hesitantly. He had followed the young lady for more than thirty years. Although he didn't know what she was planning specifically, he knew that this matter was very important to her.
"No need. Since that person refuses to show up, it's useless for us to return to the island. Let's just go there directly."
After Zhan Yingluo finished speaking, she changed direction and headed north.
Just as the few people changed direction, Xu Chunniang, who had been paying attention to the movements of the small black dot, immediately noticed it.
She knew that she had guessed correctly, and that the place the other party was heading to was probably the real destination.
Xu Chunniang no longer hesitated and headed north.
After leaving the island, he restrained his aura and dived into the sea, following the small black dot.
Her spiritual awareness is comparable to that of a golden elixir cultivator, and she knows the maximum range of a golden elixir cultivator's spiritual awareness very well.
Therefore, she kept the distance between herself and the small black dot within a range that was neither too far nor too close, so that she would not be noticed by Zhao Hucheng, but also not too far away.
After doing this for a few days, Zhan Yingluo suddenly felt a sense of foreboding and stopped abruptly.
As soon as she stopped, the others also stopped.
Zhan Fu was a little confused, "Miss?"
This is the third time the lady has stopped for no reason in the past few days.
Zhan Yingluo took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Hucheng, "Uncle Zhao, are you sure no one is following you?"
Zhao Hucheng nodded confidently, "I'm sure. Besides, the sea is vast and empty, so we can tell at a glance whether there is anyone following us."
Zhan Yingluo did not comment, her eyes slightly dropped to the calm sea, with a hint of meaning.
"If someone dives into the sea, this sea will be an excellent barrier."
