Chapter 349: Chapter 50 Tracking
Two days later.
Lin Jing, still peddling ‘Yan Shuishui’ as usual, finally received the message from Lu Youjiu.
According to their previous discussion, once Lin Jing and his companion received the message, they were to meet up with Lu Youjiu and Holaw Three Rivers first.
And the meeting place was a Nameless Isle, located between the Thousand Islands Domain and Black Xing Island.
The happiest person upon receiving the message wasn’t Lin Jing but Yan Wanfei.
Because in the coming time, he could finally stop pretending.
Eventually,
under Yan Wanfei’s urging, Lin Jing continued to carry the ‘Yan Shuishui’ and left Black Xing Island.
Soon after leaving Black Xing Island, Lin Jing sensed something was amiss.
Then, he directly deployed his Divine Sense to probe behind him.
With Lin Jing’s Golden Core Late Stage Divine Sense, he could scan a great distance even without using additional enhancements.
Quickly, Lin Jing detected a sneaky figure.
That figure was none other than the old man who had previously attempted to attack Lin Jing with Divine Sense, only to be injured by Lin Jing’s counterattack with Divine Sense.
This person was actually trailing behind Lin Jing, tracking him.
It seemed,
he held a grudge over what had happened that day, which is why he took advantage of Lin Jing’s departure from the island to target him.
However, after scanning the area with his Divine Sense, Lin Jing found only this one person and no accomplices.
Relying solely on himself to ambush them, it was unclear how he could be so bold.
But Lin Jing made no sound about it, pretending as though he hadn’t noticed anything unusual.
At the same time, Lin Jing transmitted a message to Yan Wanfei:
“We are being followed…”
Upon hearing this, Yan Wanfei likewise sent a message back to Lin Jing, saying:
“I had a feeling something was off. So we’re being followed, and I thought it was just my imagination.”
“The person tracking us is too far for my Divine Sense to detect. Do you know who it is?”
As the two communicated silently, Lin Jing maintained his speed and continued flying forward.
Lin Jing sent a message back to Yan Wanfei:
“I know, it’s that ‘old geezer’ you mentioned before, the first one who wanted to buy you, and there’s no one else, just him alone.”
Yan Wanfei was shocked, and then spoke:
“It’s him…”
The voice was crisp and pleasant, and incredibly childish.
It was the voice Yan Wanfei had imitated when he was pretending to be Yan Shuishui.
Lin Jing hurriedly transmitted a message:
“Be careful not to give anything away…”
“Oh, right…”
Yan Wanfei quickly stopped talking and sent a message back to Lin Jing.
“Damn it, that old geezer hasn’t learned his lesson? He dares to follow us, must think he has the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard.”
“As far as I remember, he only has the Cultivation of the Golden Core Middle Stage. Brother Lin, I want to take him down…”
“How about this, we work together and you play along?”
Lin Jing, puzzled, then transmitted back to Yan Wanfei:
“What do you plan to do?”
Yan Wanfei chuckled, saying:
“Hehe…”
“He wants me, right? So it’s about time I ‘give’ myself to him…”
“When I get close to him, I’ll catch him off guard and give him a jab. This time, I’ve got to stab a few holes in him, no matter what.”
As he spoke, Yan Wanfei started grinding his teeth with hatred:
“This old geezer, daring to harbor thoughts about me, I’ll make sure he doesn’t live to tell the tale.”
Lin Jing was at a loss for words, and after a moment, he replied:
“Alright…”
And so, Lin Jing continued to fly forward at an unhurried pace.
And that ‘old geezer’ continued trailing behind them.
……
Until they had traveled far from Black Xing Island, to an area void of human presence.
Just then,
a middle-aged cultivator clad in a green robe suddenly appeared in front of them,
Hovering in the air, the cultivator’s Golden Core Early Stage Cultivation burst forth, his powerful aura calming the nearby sea.
At the same time, his Flying Sword was already levitated and pointed directly at Lin Jing ahead.
Besides this, a treasure pearl hovered above his head, emitting a purple glow that enveloped him.
Seeing the situation, he seemed ready to attack.
Seeing the cultivator block his way, Lin Jing’s eyebrows knitted together, and he stopped in his tracks.
At this moment, the old man who had been hanging behind swiftly caught up to them.
Soon, Lin Jing was surrounded by both men.
After catching up, the old man was sneering sinisterly at Lin Jing:
“Hehehe…”
“Boy, you sure are arrogant. I really don’t know where someone with just the Golden Core First Layer Cultivation gets their confidence from, even daring to provoke me, Senior Qi Gui.”
Lin Jing turned around, glaring coldly at the old man who claimed to be Senior Qi Gui, while being cautious of the Golden Core Early Stage cultivator who seemed ready to attack at any moment.
“It seems you’ve been planning this for a while,” Lin Jing said to Senior Qi Gui.
“Hehehehe…”
