Chapter 369: Chapter 70 Exploring the Island
Zhang Jian stepped off the Flying Boat, then cupped his fists and said to Lin Jing:
“Lin Daoyou, it’s been a long time…”
“I never imagined I would encounter Lin Daoyou here, it truly is a coincidence.”
“May I ask what Lin Daoyou is planning to do?”
Lin Jing didn’t directly answer Zhang Jian’s question. Instead, he looked at the Flying Boat behind him and then asked Zhang Jian:
“Is this Flying Boat yours?”
Zhang Jian was startled for a moment before nodding:
“Yes, it is. I spent all the savings I had recently to buy this Flying Boat.”
Following that, Lin Jing directly said:
“Zhang Daoyou, I would like to temporarily borrow this Flying Boat from you.”
“Would that be all right?”
Zhang Jian looked at Lin Jing, hesitated a moment, then replied:
“Lin Daoyou once saved my life from the hands of Master Qi Gui. As for lending the Flying Boat, naturally, there’s no problem.”
“But may I ask, Lin Daoyou, what do you intend to do with the Flying Boat?”
Lin Jing spoke up, stating directly:
“To chase an enemy.”
The moment Lin Jing’s words fell, Zhang Jian readily replied:
“Okay, I reside on Xian Yu Island…”
However.
Zhang Jian’s words were not yet finished when Lin Jing interrupted him, urging Zhang Jian directly:
“Let’s board the Flying Boat now, and you’ll come with me to chase, don’t delay…”
After listening to Lin Jing’s statement, Zhang Jian was taken aback, then pointed at himself and asked:
“Me too?”
Lin Jing was a bit astonished for a moment, as he only intended to borrow it, not expecting Zhang Jian’s idea of ‘lending’ to be taken literally.
Of course, that misleading situation was also because Lin Jing had not made himself clear, thus leading to the misunderstanding.
So, Lin Jing quickly tried to explain:
“Zhang Daoyou, you’ve misunderstood. I just want to borrow it for a while, not to take it away.”
“Also, later on, you will be responsible for steering, while I’ll rest and meditate inside the Flying Boat for a bit.”
After finishing, Lin Jing added another sentence:
“Once this matter is completed, I can also take you to meet Yan Shuishui…”
After hearing Lin Jing’s words, Zhang Jian was startled and then turned his head sharply to look at Lin Jing and said:
“Yan Shuishui?”
“Didn’t you sell her off?”
Lin Jing nodded, then responded:
“Yes, she was sold, but she returned on her own.”
“Returned on her own? What do you mean by that?”
Zhang Jian looked utterly confused, not understanding what Lin Jing meant.
However, this time Lin Jing did not answer but directly said to Zhang Jian:
“Let’s go, first get on the Flying Boat and pursue my enemy.”
“We can discuss the rest later, if we let him escape, it could become troublesome.”
Seeing that Lin Jing did not answer directly, Zhang Jian did not ask any further and said:
“Alright…”
After speaking, both men stepped onto the Flying Boat.
Then, under Zhang Jian’s control and Lin Jing’s command, the two rode the Flying Boat to chase after the cultivator in white.
As the white-robed cultivator was using the Blood Escape technique, his speed was extremely fast, and the conversation between Lin Jing and Zhang Jian caused some delay.
Only after more than half an hour did the two finally sense the residual aura of the white-robed cultivator’s escape.
So, the two continued to follow this aura, searching nonstop with the Flying Boat.
Finally, when they passed a sea island, the trail completely vanished.
Therefore.
The two stopped the Flying Boat and walked out from inside.
Observing this small island.
This was an uninhabited island, not very large in size.
But hiding a single person here would still be very easy.
Lin Jing stood in mid-air above the island with his sword.
At the same time, he extended his Divine Sense to survey the small island.
After a while, Lin Jing found no place of suspicion.
It was as if the white-robed cultivator had vanished after reaching this place.
But.
Lin Jing knew that the white-robed cultivator was on this island.
First, because after utilizing the Blood Escape technique, he was gravely injured and could not have gone far.
He had to find a place quickly to heal; otherwise, his condition would be more than just an injury.
It could even possibly lead to a fall in his cultivation level due to this incident.
Moreover, there was the lingering blood scent on his body after using the Blood Escape technique.
This scent of blood was not something easily dispersed.
And he could not hide in the sea.
With so many Demonic Beasts in the sea, his current state would easily attract numerous creatures, making him even more vulnerable.
Thus, the white-robed cultivator must indeed be on this uninhabited small island.
And it’s likely that he was using a concealment formation to hide somewhere on this island.
After analyzing.
Lin Jing descended from the air directly to the island.
At this moment.
Zhang Jian also put away the Flying Boat and followed Lin Jing down.
After landing, Zhang Jian first turned his head and looked around.
Then he said to Lin Jing:
