"It's Jiang Quan."
On the water, a man dismounted from the back of a falcon, looked at a corpse that had resurfaced, and said in a deep voice.
"Did you see clearly who killed him?"
A voice rang out from the other side, and a figure came riding on the waves.
Its body shone with a luminous light, clearly indicating that it was a martial artist of innate level.
"I couldn't see clearly. We were too far away at the time. I could only barely make out that it was a man and a woman."
"Then why don't you chase after them? With a falcon as your mount, you should be able to keep up, right?"
The person who came riding on the waves asked this question.
The man who dismounted from the falcon sneered at his question.
"Jiang Quan has already been killed. What would I do if I chased after him alone? Would I just be throwing my life away?"
"So let's chase after them together now, you can give me a ride with your Falcon."
The person who came riding the waves was very enthusiastic, but found that the other party was completely unmoved.
"What's wrong? Aren't you going to pursue her?"
"What are you chasing?"
The person riding the falcon shook his head. "I could see it clearly from afar. Jiang Quan couldn't even hold out for a moment. He was killed in the instant of the fight. With such strength, even if you and I joined forces, we would have no hope of winning."
"Is it really that terrifying?"
The man who came riding on the waves had a drastic change in expression and muttered, "Who has Jiang Quan offended?"
"Who knows? In any case, this matter needs to be considered carefully. Let's observe the situation from a distance first."
Lin Ce and Yu Jiu were unaware of what was happening behind them.
They had already left their original position and were moving at high speed in a certain direction of the water.
Thank you.
In the silence, Yu Jiu suddenly thanked Lin Ce.
Lin Ce nodded slightly.
“Since we have an agreement, your safety should be guaranteed. Moreover, since that person dared to threaten me, I cannot let him go.”
How did he find out about you?
Although they might not need to see each other again soon, Lin Ce was still somewhat curious.
It wouldn't hurt to learn more about the other party before sending them to Haikou in the south.
"I don't know. I had just come out of the water to get some fresh air when I ran into him. He just glanced at me and then started chasing me like a madman..."
It was clear that Yu Jiu was still shaken.
Is that so?
Lin Ce pondered to himself.
It seems that Jiang Quan must have some special method to distinguish between half-mermaids.
It's a pity that I acted too quickly and didn't get this information from my opponent.
However, Lin Ce will not regret it.
Facing a Xiantian martial artist who has progressed far into the sixth rank, being able to use "Sea Mirage Sound" and "Crimson Dragon Spear Technique" to deliver a fatal blow is already the most perfect outcome.
We can't ask for more.
Lin Ce would never be foolish enough to prolong the battle and put himself in potential danger for a little bit of minor information.
“If you keep going south along this body of water, you’ll reach the estuary. But I’ve never heard you mention that it’s that far. Are you planning to keep swimming in the water while I have to keep running across it like this?”
Given the distance between the southern port and this place, even a martial artist with a long and refined inner energy would find it difficult to continuously use their lightness skill to travel across the sea.
Not to mention, the closer you get to the estuary, the more dangers lurk in the water, and constantly running close to the surface is not a good choice.
At this point, some other auxiliary methods are necessary.
Yu Jiu glanced at Lin Ce somewhat embarrassedly.
She admitted that she hadn't thought of these things at first.
Haikou in the south was an unfamiliar place to her.
Should we rent a boat?
Yu Jiu stammered as he spoke.
As a half-mermaid, she was confident that swimming underwater to the sea would not be a problem for her.
Once they arrived at this place, it would be reasonable to let Lin Ce return first, and she could go out to sea alone.
However, the scene of being chased by Jiang Quan earlier left her with psychological trauma.
She was worried that she would encounter someone like that again on the rest of her journey.
This is not impossible.
Those sea hunters she feared most were always roaming the seas.
Even though she now possessed the strength of a seventh-grade martial artist, she still dared not let her guard down.
"Taking a boat is too slow."
Normally it wouldn't matter, but at this moment Lin Ce was still concerned about the delivery of the goods on Biyue Peak, and wanted to return to witness the peak master's ascension ceremony.
"Perhaps, our mode of transportation has arrived."
Lin Ce called out to the sky, and amidst the cry of eagles, two huge falcons suddenly swooped down.
"It really was you guys."
When the falcon landed, Lin Ce looked at the people on its back and couldn't help but smile.
The leader of the Thirteen Wind Chasers, and the old acquaintances standing on the back of another falcon.
The Three Heroes of Liyuan.
"Brother Li, why are you everywhere? Do you think we're destined to meet?"
The three heroes of Liyuan got off the falcon, their faces pale, and they almost vomited.
It's clear that riding a falcon might not be a comfortable experience for them.
"Li Dafeng greets Chief Escort Lin."
On the other falcon, Li Dafeng clasped his hands in a salute to Lin Ce.
"You've been following us since before, what's the purpose of that?"
Although the two falcons were flying in the sky, Lin Ce's eyesight was now extremely sharp, and since Li Dafeng and the others did not seem to be deliberately avoiding him, he had already noticed them.
He kept quiet because he wanted to see what the people on the backs of those two falcons were planning to do.
Just as they were about to leave the waters, Lin Ce finally revealed his hand and called them down from the sky.
Li Dafeng looked at Li Wenzheng.
Originally, he had offended the Four Seas Escort Agency before, and escorting them all the way was to make up for his mistake.
This time, they came with the intention of befriending Lin Ce.
However, as the leader of the Thirteen Wind Chasers, he really didn't know how to bring up such a question.
They had no choice but to rely on Li Wenzheng, who was supposedly an old acquaintance of Lin Ce.
"Chief Escort Lin, how have you been? It's good to see you again..."
"We're all old acquaintances, so let's skip the formalities. Time is of the essence, so tell me, why are you following me?"
Lin Ce interrupted Li Wenzheng directly.
Li Dafeng's eyes lit up.
He had just pricked up his ears and caught the important keywords.
Li Wenzheng and Lin Ce were indeed "old acquaintances".
It seems that befriending Lin Ce is no longer a problem.
Li Wenzheng sighed inwardly, feeling helpless, and could only skip the unnecessary pleasantries and get straight to the point.
"Chief镖师 Lin, we do indeed have a favor to ask, but we happened to discover someone following you on the way, so we wanted to come and give you a heads-up."
"oh?"
Lin Ce frowned. "Who's been following us? And when did you start following us?"
"They are two innate martial artists."
This time, it was Li Dafeng who spoke, his expression quite solemn.
“I recognize those two. Together with another innate martial artist, they are known as the Three Winds. Their strength is quite formidable.”
"Three Winds Guest..."
Lin Ce's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "What's the name of the other innate martial artist?"
"Gale Fist Jiang Quan".
