Afterward, Lin Jing walked forward as if he had noticed nothing.
The feeling of being followed persisted throughout the journey, at times fading in and out of perception.
Not until he had left the Fang Market and entered the outskirts did this sensation suddenly intensify.
Lin Jing could even feel his heartbeat quickening beyond its normal pace.
“Ding”
The sudden sound of the system alert left Lin Jing momentarily stunned.
“System alert: Host detected in danger, alert function automatically upgrading.”
“Alert function upgrade requires the deduction of 10 Harvest Points. Detecting that the host currently has 49 Harvest Points, deduction will proceed automatically.” “Current remaining Harvest Points: 39.”
“System upgrading…”
“Ding”
“Alert function upgrade complete, this function can now be used externally.”
“Warning!”
“Within alert range, someone harbors lethal intent towards the host, please respond promptly.”
Seeing the system notification, Lin Jing finally realized.
“Indeed, my feelings were correct. There really is someone tracking me, and they bear ill intent.’
Someone wanted to kill him.
It was obvious that after leaving the Fang Market, this person could no longer hold back.
As if oblivious, Lin Jing continued on until he reached an alleyway. With a turn, he entered the alley. “System.”
“Enter System Space.”
Upon stepping into the alley, Lin Jing silently called out to the system and entered the System Space.
“System, activate Observation Mode.”
Just after entering the System Space, Lin Jing activated the Observation Mode.
His perspective shifted and Lin Jing began to surveil, with an unobstructed view of the outside world.
He saw a person clad in black clothing hurriedly approaching after Lin Jing’s disappearance.
“Eh? Where’s the person?”
The individual looked around but did not see Lin Jing, then expressed doubt.
While under Observation Mode, Lin Jing could see this person’s appearance clearly.
It was the same man dressed in black who had tried to sell him the Black Market Token that day.
Lin Jing frowned in contemplation:
“Could this person have been eyeing me for some time?”
However, the man in black soon provided Lin Jing with the answer.
After searching around and seeing no one, the man in black started to doubt. “Where could he have gone, how could he just vanish all of a sudden?”
“Impossible, a mere Qi Refinement initial stage cultivator couldn’t possibly have noticed me. Was I exposed already?”
“Does that mean I’ve been waiting here for days in vain?
The man in black was quite frustrated as he muttered to himself.
Ever since that incident, he had been lying in wait at the Fang Market for several days, just to catch Lin Jing making another appearance.
He had waited until today, finally seeing Lin Jing, only to lose him. The man in black felt unspeakably upset.
In his opinion, Lin Jing was merely a Qi Refinement third layer cultivator, while he was at the seventh layer, there was no reason for him to lose track of Lin Jing.
After all, he had been monitoring that fellow with his Divine Sense, yet he had disappeared suddenly.
After listening to the man in black’s words, Lin Jing now understood that since the Black Market Token incident, this person had been waiting for him.
It was probably not just for revenge, it was very likely he also had plots of robbery and murder.
Thinking back to that day, after he had sold his Elixir Medicine and the behavior of the man in black, Lin Jing felt even more certain of his conclusion.
“It seems this person must be eliminated.”
This man had memorized the way he looked in disguise, and Lin Jing had no skill in altering his appearance. No matter how he might disguise himself, it would be in vain and eventually, a flaw would be exposed.
