Perhaps sensing ng Zhang's thoughts, Jue Ying took the initiative and said, "I can track that rchant convoy. You just need to follow the marks I leave along the way and keep a distance behind."
ng Zhang glanced at Jue Ying with so wariness, thinking that she might propose new conditions.
Understanding ng Zhang's expression, Jue Ying explained, "This ti, I'll do it for free. Consider it compensation for the additional conditions I brought up earlier."
"I just hope that when you need my help in the future, you'll be wholeheartedly committed."
After hearing Jue Ying's words, ng Zhang's impression of her improved significantly.
After careful consideration, he decided to follow Jue Ying's plan.
After discussing how to stay in contact, Jue Ying left voluntarily.
According to Jue Ying's information, the rchant convoy would depart before dawn, so she needed to prepare as well.
The next day, early in the morning, ng Zhang and Li Xuan left Singing Sand City together.
Following Jue Ying's agreent, she discreetly left various marks along the way.
ng Zhang found these marks and followed at a distance behind Li Xuan.
Riding wind chasing horses, ng Zhang and Li Xuan didn't travel too fast, deliberately controlling their speed to avoid getting too close to the convoy.
The journey took two full days, during which they headed north without encountering any unexpected events.
On the morning of the third day, a transmission symbol flew in from the horizon and landed in ng Zhang's hand.
The information on the transmission symbol instructed ng Zhang and his group to et up ahead.
ng Zhang and Li Xuan spurred their wind chasing horses and hurried towards the designated eting point. It didn't take long before they saw Jue Ying standing quietly beneath a sand dune.
ng Zhang and Li Xuan stopped next to Jue Ying. Before ng Zhang could speak, Jue Ying quickly recounted everything she had observed.
It turned out that Jue Ying had been tracking the rchant convoy and monitoring their every move.
The previous night, after the convoy camped, the person in charge of the convoy left to et a stranger at the foot of a desolate hill. They handed a storage bag to this person.
After the exchange, the person who received the storage bag left in a different direction.
Jue Ying decided to stop tracking the convoy and instead followed this individual.
After shadowing them through the night, the person entered a cave in the distance just before dawn.
Jue Ying left the area and sent a ssage to ng Zhang and the others.
Listening to Jue Ying's account, ng Zhang understood Li Shengqi's sche.
The old man used diversions to distract the watchers while secretly employing the Flying Swan Building rchant convoy to help him deliver the goods.
No one dared to ss with the Flying Swan Building convoy in this territory.
Even if the watchers sohow managed to gather information, the recipient of the goods would have left long before, making it impossible to trace.
Thinking of this, ng Zhang was very satisfied with Jue Ying's performance.
Jue Ying tily gathered information and didn't miss the rchant convoy.
After the convoy's handler completed the exchange, she gave up tracking them and followed the true target in a tily manner.
Although Jue Ying was a woman, her abilities were truly remarkable.
Such talents were exactly what Taiyi Sect lacked at the mont.
With the intention to recruit her, ng Zhang's previous grievances with Jue Ying disappeared.
However, ng Zhang didn't rashly attempt to recruit her. The timing wasn't right, and trying to do so now would likely result in failure.
Setting aside the idea of recruiting Jue Ying for the ti being, ng Zhang said, "Lead the way in front and take us to that cave you ntioned."
Jue Ying nodded and walked ahead, leading ng Zhang and Li Xuan to the foot of a small hill.
There were countless small hills in the surrounding area, and they would never have thought there could be anything significant hidden within this particular one if Jue Ying hadn't guided them.
Jue Ying pointed ahead and said, "There's a secret entrance covered by yellow sand."
"The entrance is extrely well-hidden and has no magical prohibitions; it's purely a construction by mortals."
ng Zhang nodded. Without magical prohibitions, there would be no magical fluctuations or spiritual leakage, making it an excellent way to keep it secret.
ng Zhang used his Deception Breaking Eye and looked in the direction Jue Ying indicated.
Beneath the yellow sand, there was indeed a stone door. Behind the door was a deep passage that seed to extend indefinitely.
After confirming there were no traps, ng Zhang walked up to the door and released his flying sword, slicing open the stone door and revealing the dark passage inside.
ng Zhang took the lead and entered the passage. Li Xuan followed closely behind him.
Jue Ying had already completed her task and should have left, but for so reason, she followed behind them into the passage.
The passage was pitch black with no light. However, cultivators had so night vision ability, so the darkness didn't hinder the three of them.
After advancing a certain distance, ng Zhang used his Deception Breaking Eye to check for ambushes or traps, ensuring they wouldn't encounter any unexpected dangers.
They walked for quite so ti, winding and turning, for what felt like half a day without encountering any accidents. However, they didn't know how deep the passage went or when they would reach the end.
Suddenly, a painful groan ca from up ahead. ng Zhang carefully looked and saw a person lying in the passage, immobile and weak, except for the occasional groan.
After confirming it wasn't a trap, the three of them approached the person.
Li Xuan felt that he recognized this person, but it was too dark to see clearly.
He used his Light Technique, causing a glowing light to appear in his hand. He held it above the person's head and almost couldn't help but exclaim in shock.
