With only the last two spots remaining, Lu Xin planned to make his move, but to avoid revealing his identity, many methods were off-limits.
So he thought for a moment, an idea coming to mind, and suddenly shouted, "Brother Dugu, look quickly, another ferry is coming downstream, let's go there!"
Then, he controlled two clones to head downstream.
Everyone was taken aback, subconsciously looking in the direction the two clones flew.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Xin flashed and appeared at the bow of the boat, then stepped onto it.
"Damn it! We've been tricked!"
The crowd quickly came to their senses, just in time to see Lu Xin stepping onto the bow.
At this moment, the two clones also ran back, grumbling, "Which bastard was shouting nonsense?"
The crowd looked at the two speechlessly, then continued to fight for the last spot.
In the end, it was obtained by an old man in the late stage of the Combination Realm.
This person flicked out a fishing rod, instantly hooking away someone of the same realm and stepping onto the boat.
With that, the ferry was full, and those who didn't get on could only wait for the next trip.
And the old man wearing a straw raincoat also made his move at this time, only to see him prop the slender bamboo pole against the shore, pushing the ferry towards the center of the river.
"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, well done."
Tian Zijin looked at Lu Xin with surprise. Those who boarded the ship in the first batch were all peak experts in the late stage of the Combination Realm. He didn't expect that he, a mid-stage Combination Realm cultivator, had managed to sneak on.
The others on the boat also looked at him with great curiosity.
Especially the black-robed man and the palace-dressed woman.
Lu Xin had previously appeared silently behind them, so they were deeply impressed by him, and they always felt that he was not that simple.
Lu Xin smiled innocently, "The reason I, Sanwu Zhenren, can reach my current realm is because I have a little bit of cleverness."
"Admirable."
Tian Zijin cupped his hands.
Lu Xin took the opportunity to ask, "May I ask, fellow Daoist, what kind of scenery awaits us after crossing the river?"
Tian Zijin shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics, but I only know that the space here is vast and is divided into several parts by several large formations."
"Oh? I wonder what specific formations are there?"
Tian Zijin smiled and said, "You will naturally know when you break through to that point."
He obviously didn't want to reveal the details.
Lu Xin didn't care. Anyway, he was determined to follow behind the two of them.
He, Lu Xin, wanted to let the other party know that the reason he, Sanwu Zhenren, could reach his current realm was not only because he had a little bit of cleverness, but also because he had a thick skin.
"Swish!"
Soon the boat became quiet, with only the sound of the old man in the straw raincoat using his bamboo pole to move the river water.
Lu Xin stared at the old man carefully, wanting to see what he was, but in the end, he couldn't figure it out.
The other party seemed to be just a machine that could only pole a boat, with a dull and lifeless expression.
Seeing that the others had no intention of inquiring, he didn't think much about it. He guessed that he was just like an NPC in a previous life's game.
In the blink of an eye, several hours passed.
This river was wider than expected, and the old man's speed of poling the boat was not fast.
So it led to the fact that after so long, Lu Xin had not seen the opposite bank.
The crowd was still not anxious, obviously, their predecessors had explored the way for them, and they had confidence.
Lu Xin really admired the first batch of people who took the boat. They were definitely not as calm as the current people.
Finally, after several more hours, the ferry docked.
The crowd disembarked one by one.
Lu Xin glanced at the environment on the shore, which was similar to when he came in. He looked back again and saw that the boat-poling old man did not immediately return, but sat cross-legged on the bow without moving.
And the slender bamboo pole was casually placed beside him.
Lu Xin had a sudden whim, wondering what would happen if he snatched his bamboo pole, but in the end, he restrained the impulse.
"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, there is a large area to explore before reaching the next checkpoint, so we will take our leave first."
Tian Zijin left a sentence and then pulled Nalan Zizhu towards a direction and flew away.
The others had already dispersed.
Lu Xin thought for a moment. This place was vast and boundless, and his divine sense was greatly suppressed. Instead of wandering aimlessly by himself, it was better to follow the original plan.
Moreover, the two of them had no intention of exploring this place, and it was obvious that they were going straight for the Yinluo Spring.
This thing must not be simple.
So he quickly followed the two of them.
After a while, Nalan Zizhu frowned and looked back, "He's following us."
Tian Zijin thought for a moment, "It might be a coincidence, speed up."
Then the two kept changing direction, and finally stopped, looking at the figure behind them like a tagalong.
At this time, Lu Xin was also a little embarrassed. His divine sense was suppressed here. If he was too far away, he would easily lose them, and if he was too close, he would easily be discovered.
Seeing the two of them looking over, he quickly pretended to have appeared here inadvertently.
Tian Zijin and the two had already walked over with black faces, looking at his clumsy acting skills.
"Oh, when did the two fellow Daoists appear? What a coincidence."
"Fellow Daoist Huanglong, why bother acting?" Tian Zijin looked at him speechlessly.
Lu Xin asked in confusion, "Acting what?"
Tian Zijin didn't argue, "You know in your heart. We still have important matters to attend to, and we hope that fellow Daoist will not follow us anymore."
After he finished speaking, he directly pulled Nalan Zizhu away.
Lu Xin shook his head and followed again.
After another period of time, Nalan Zizhu said, "He's still following behind."
Tian Zijin looked back, then looked at the Tianxin Compass in his hand, "Never mind him, if he wants to follow, let him. There is an Eight Directions Yin Wind Formation ahead, and we will be able to shake him off by then."
"Okay."
Then the two continued to move forward.
Lu Xin was a little surprised that the other party didn't come to drive him away, and he was happy to do so, and quickly followed.
In this way, another period of time quickly passed.
Lu Xin had been following behind the two.
The two had long been accustomed to it and had long ignored his existence.
"Stop first, the Tianxin Compass is issuing a warning, there is danger ahead," Tian Zijin suddenly said.
"Can we bypass it?"
Tian Zijin frowned, holding the Tianxin Compass and constantly turning it. Seeing the pointer on it constantly spinning, he shook his head and said:
"It's a roadblock. If we want to avoid it, we can only take a very long detour."
"Then what should we do?" Nalan Zizhu said.
Tian Zijin continued, "But it doesn't matter, the light flashing on the Tianxin Compass is yellow, not an absolute danger, we can handle it."
"That's good." Nalan Zizhu relaxed and asked again, "Do you want to remind that Sanwu Zhenren?"
Tian Zijin looked back at Lu Xin, who was pretending to look around, and couldn't help but laugh:
"I finally know why the fellow Daoists of the East Sea of the same realm as him gave him a teasing nickname."
"How do you say that?"
"It's probably because they were angered by his thick skin. He looks harmless, but he's like a dog skin plaster, unable to be shaken off no matter what."
"It should be like this." Nalan Zizhu expressed agreement.
"Let's go, no need to remind him. The danger ahead will only make him very embarrassed with his realm, and we can take the opportunity to shake him off."
Tian Zijin retracted his gaze and then took the lead to move forward.
"Strange, these two have been looking at me for so long, could they have some bad intentions?"
Lu Xin touched his chin, "No, I have to get closer to them."
