After the battle with the Mei Lan Water Bandits, the owner of the ship seemed to have a 180-degree change in attitude towards the Barbarian Horn Chamber of Commerce. It was no wonder that Shopkeeper Wan suddenly killed two Jin Dan cultivators of the same level. No one would remain indifferent.
At this time, Yi Tian and Hong Min were arranged to sit in the corner of the hall. Since the two came in, no one came to greet them. However, Yi Tian noticed that there were people coming in from the deck one after another, and then they were invited to the other empty spaces.
According to the people of the Barbarian Horn Chamber of Commerce, their shopkeeper was unwilling to monopolize the cabin, so they moved some goods to the deck to let some cultivators come in and rest.
After all, a lot of people had to endure the rain yesterday.
Of course, he didn't believe this nonsense. He noticed that most of the people who came in were Buddhist cultivators or foreign races that were friendly with the Barbarian Horn Clan. Needless to say, the other party naturally noticed the strangeness of the previous confrontation and was investigating.
However, if he didn't warn them, it should be very difficult for them to notice. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw Shopkeeper Wan slowly walking towards him with a subordinate.
After ten breaths of time, Shopkeeper Wan passed by them and sat down not far behind them. Although she didn't seem to touch the pill, Yi Tian found that the other party's spiritual sense unscrupulously swept over Hong Min. After a while, she slightly frowned and shifted her spiritual sense back to him.
Obviously, she wasn't completely sure. She just took out a jade slip and read the contents. This situation continued for half a day. The entire ship didn't encounter any special situation.
Until someone from the Barbarian Horn Chamber of Commerce came to the main cabin and handed a communication jade slip to Shopkeeper Wan. When she took the slip and glanced at it, her body trembled unconsciously. Then, she returned to her original state and dismissed the servant.
After a while, Yi Tian heard a voice in his ear, "Junior Wan Jiao Xin greets Senior Yi. On behalf of Master Wan Bo, I thank Senior for your help."
He glanced around and saw Hong Min sitting at the side with her eyes closed. He nodded silently and signaled to Wan Jiaoxin.
When the latter saw this scene, a hint of joy immediately appeared on his face. Then, he pretended to be deep in thought and summoned the servants to prepare the tea and snacks.
The corner of Yi Tian's mouth twitched, and he hurriedly sent a voice transmission, "There's no need for that. I'm just hitching a ride along the way. I don't want to expose my identity."
When Wanjiao Xin heard this, she hurriedly changed the topic with a few servants and sent them away.
Three breaths later, Wan Jiaoxin's Sichuan voice sounded again, "I didn't know that Senior Yi was escorting the bodhisattva through the dark path. Since Senior Yi doesn't like it, I will be more than happy to oblige."
"Secret route escort." Yi Tian frowned, wondering how even someone like Wan Jiao Xin knew about this. "How do you know about the Jiaxiu Temple?"
"Senior, there is no need to be suspicious. I also learned of this from the patriarch." Wanjiao Xin replied respectfully. "Every time we escort the Arhat, there is a clear and hidden path. This is to prevent people with ill intentions from capturing them in one go. According to past records, there will be more trouble when escorting the Arhat in the dark path, but there will also be more help. "
Here, Yi Tian understood that the ceremony held at the Shenxiu Temple that day was true. He originally thought that it was Liaochen's act to cover for him. He didn't expect that both paths were truly escorting the Arhat.
He didn't ask clearly before. He looked up at Wan Jiaoxin and sent a voice transmission again, "Then do you know if both paths can reach the destination on time?"
"Actually, it's not possible to reach each other through both routes every time, because it involves a lot of Buddhist secrets. Even if the opposing factions of the Jiaxiu Temple don't act personally, they will secretly send other races to intercept us, "Wan Jiaoxin replied.
Hearing this, Yi Tian stilled. He guessed that as soon as he appeared in Shenguan City with Hong Min, he had been targeted by the other race cultivators with ill intentions. No one had caught up yet, but that didn't mean they wouldn't in the future.
The worst thing was that Hong Min had to complete the entire journey by himself. If he flew with him, the little monk would probably be the first to object.
Wan Jiaoxin seemed to know the background of the opposing factions of the Jiaxiu Temple. It was better to ask about some things first, so as to avoid confusion. Then, he turned his back to Hong Min and asked through voice transmission, "Do you know what kind of foreign races would usually try to intercept us?"
"The gathering place of the other races that senior will pass is the first obstacle, especially at this juncture. Any low level cultivator will naturally be watched more closely," Wan Jiaoxin said.
"Then can I take a detour?" Yi Tian suddenly asked.
"In principle, no problem, but it depends on the Arhat's wishes," Wan Jiaoxin said with a troubled expression, "Didn't Master Liaochen tell Senior Yi to let the Arhat do whatever he wants and not obstruct him too much?"
"I'm just afraid that this kid will cause trouble for me," Yi Tian said with a helpless expression.
"Probably not, the Arhats of the previous generations are all kind and won't deliberately cause trouble. Senior Yi, you have to be careful of being schemed against when you pass by the Joyful Clan's territory," Wan Jiaoxin said, "I remember my family saying that there was a Arhat who was bewitched by the Joyful Clan's territory two thousand years ago. The person who escorted the Arhat back then also spent a lot of effort to fight with the Joyful Zen Master for a long time before he managed to get the Arhat back."
"Bewitched the Arhat," Yi Tian suddenly felt the pressure on him increase. This matter was a little uncertain. The Joyful Clan should be a branch of Tantric Buddhism. They cultivated the Great Joyful Zen Technique, which forbade sex.
If the little monk Hong Min was entangled by the demons of the Joyful Clan and was unable to escape, or leaked his Yuanyang Body, it would be difficult for him to explain this matter to Liaochen and the other senior brothers of the Jiaxiu Temple.
Thinking of this, Yi Tian's expression gradually became serious. He thought that Liaochen didn't explain to him the dangers along the way. But by chance, he learned about the specific situation from the Barbarian Horn Merchant Guild. Now, he had a plan in his heart and could take more precautions in advance.
After chatting for a while, they heard the ship owner shouting in the control room, "Floating City is not far ahead, we can dock in an hour."
Wan Jiaoxin stood up and then ordered the servants around her, "Let the individual passengers on the ship disembark first, we can unload later."
The people around her were surprised. It seemed that this lady in front of them had changed her personality and learned to be polite. However, it had only been a day since the battle between Wan Jiaoxin and the Mei Lan water bandits. Her ruthless methods were still vivid in everyone's minds. At this time, no one dared to say no. Even the ship owner who was also of the Jin Dan stage intentionally avoided her.
