From thirty thousand ters away, Lanling continued to rely tail Ji Xiuning.
And Ji Xiuning kept heading south, south!
Because she was on a secret mission, she didn’t dare ride a flying mount. This airspace often had patrolling cavalry, either of Princess Di Nie, or the Fla Demon Empire, or even the Tiancha King forces.
So, she kept weaving through the dense forest.
For secrecy and safety, she even captured temporary land mounts. And she was excessively fond of cleanliness, so she refused to ride wild horses, mostly catching land birds instead.
Thus, she kept traversing the dense forest for two days and nights, sprinting over ten thousand miles.
Along the way, she removed her underwear with an energy array five tis, scaring Lanling into thinking she discovered the energy array on it. But it was rely because she loved cleanliness, bathing three tis a day, washing her clothes three tis, and without a change of clothes, she simply dried them with energy.
After traveling south for thirteen thousand miles, she was close to entering the Witch Kingdom’s territory, which made Lanling very curious. Could she be going to seek revenge against the Witch Kingdom?
But when only a thousand miles from the Witch Kingdom, she changed direction and headed east, surprisingly going out to sea.
Without a ship, she stepped onto a wooden plank and sailed out to sea.
The ocean surface offered no cover, forcing Lanling to dive into the water to continue tailing her.
Fortunately, the Misfortune Goddess Shui Hongshao had co to Lanling’s side, allowing him to grasp energy studies to a certain extent. In addition, clad in starry armor, he had no energy leakage; otherwise, even from thirty thousand ters away, Ji Xiuning would have noticed him.
Traveling along the eastern edge of the sea, for a full day and night, they were thousands of miles from land.
On an unnad small island, Ji Xiuning stopped again.
Lanling had thought they reached the destination, imagining this was the secret laboratory of the Dragon Temple. Yet, Ji Xiuning rely found a freshwater lake on the island for bathing.
How much does she love bathing?
After bathing, she cleaned her clothes again and dried them with energy.
This ti, she didn’t rush to continue the journey but instead wove a hammock between two trees and lay on it to sleep.
It seed, being close to the destination, she decided to pause for rest.
While Ji Xiuning rested on the trees, Lanling relaxed underwater, without revealing any trace.
Under the night sky, amidst the beautiful scenery, both remained silent.
Even the sound of flowing seawater was absent, no wind noise, only deathly silence.
Suddenly...
Three streams of energy approached from afar, breaking the deep silence.
Lanling and Ji Xiuning awakened almost simultaneously.
Ji Xiuning drew her sword and leapt to the ground, while Lanling remained subrged in the sea.
Three figures rushed in from several thousand ters away.
One wore a gray cloth, another a luxurious white robe, and the third a black cloak.
Of course, in the water, Lanling couldn’t see them, nor did he release spiritual power above the sea to perceive, as it was too risky.
If he could see, he would recognize them even if they turned to ashes.
They were the legendary duo of the Dragon Temple, also killers of Lanling’s enemies.
One harbored wolfish ambition towards Zhi Yan, Huai Bingyi, the other abandoned ng Tuoluo, Ji ngbai.
These two stood behind the cloaked man, indicating his higher status.
Seeing the three, Ji Xiuning sheathed her sword and bowed, saying, "Student Ji Xiuning, pays respect to Teacher Hui Gu!"
Hui Gu, the Dragon Temple’s Candidate Sky Priest, who had also once served as the Shenlong Academy’s principal for a long period.
Hui Gu said, "Ji Xiuning, you seem to have arrived at least a day later than scheduled, why?"
Ji Xiuning replied, "I was delayed on the way, plus I execute orders for the secret task directly under the command of E Yun Majesty, without reporting to anyone else."
The Candidate Sky Priest coldly said, "Ji Xiuning, tell the truth now, everything still can be redied, or you’ll regret it later! Where did you go in those past days? After crossing the Aurora Energy Gate, you should have imdiately gone to sea, executing your secret task. Why did you delay two to three days before heading to sea? Where did you go?"
Ji Xiuning’s face slightly changed as she said, "I didn’t go anywhere, just delayed along the road!"
Huai Bingyi said, "Ji Xiuning, you went to the Fla Demon Empire, seeking Lanling, didn’t you?"
Ji Xiuning’s face changed drastically, even underwater Lanling felt a shock. Fortunately, he wore starry armor, able to shield all energy fluctuations, otherwise he would have been exposed.
Huai Bingyi said, "You’re curious how we knew, aren’t you?"
Ji ngbai said, "We didn’t track you, but soone sold you out."
Ji Xiuning hoarsely asked, "Who?"
Ji ngbai said, "Rest assured, it wasn’t White Wolf, he always tried to keep your secret, and has already been punished."
"Zhi Yan?" Ji Xiuning said hoarsely, "Impossible, she couldn’t have betrayed !"
"Nothing is impossible." Ji ngbai said, "After you were captured, the Divine Demon Source Spring was injected into you, taking the child out of your belly in three months. You thought the child wouldn’t survive, but he did. You gave the child to Zhi Yan, which was no problem. But you shouldn’t have gone to see the child again, developing feelings, and this beca your downfall’s root. Don’t forget, that child is the Demon Race’s abomination."
