The news of Luo Guanji and a group of people sailing amidst the storm was passed back to Li Xuanji by this spy.
Therefore, he knew very well why Su Que had co.
"Luo Guanji is currently staying at the Great Repair Inn in the city and probably hasn’t gone out tonight," said the spy:
"We also have a comrade who rented a top room at the Great Repair Inn and is secretly observing Luo Guanji’s movents."
"As soon as Luo Guanji leaves the inn, that comrade will return to report back."
"I haven’t received any news from the comrade tonight, so Luo Guanji probably hasn’t left the inn."
Upon hearing this, Su Que asked the location of the Great Repair Inn and then further inquired:
"Why do Luo Guanji and company frequently sail out to sea?"
The spy replied, "My comrades and I have tried many tis to find out, but for now, we haven’t discovered anything. However, we do know that there must be a great opportunity overseas!"
"Because yesterday, one of our comrades saw people from the court arriving!"
"The one who ca was a high-ranking eunuch from the court, a trusted aide of Chief Eunuch Lian Jiuying, nad Gu Yulong."
"It’s said his cultivation has reached the Divine Realm, containing the Ten Gods in his body."
"The cultivation technique he practices is called the Celestial Spirit Child Skill, making his body impervious to blades or bullets, with strong Gang Qi."
"He and several trusted eunuchs of Lian Jiuying are slaves to the tyrant emperor and usually don’t leave the palace. If they do leave, it must be sothing significant."
"Besides, so noble family and sect elites near Luo City have also co here."
"They went out to sea several tis before Gu Yulong ca."
"But after Gu Yulong arrived, they haven’t gone out to sea; I suspect Gu Yulong used so ans to restrict their sailing."
Su Que nodded, indicating his understanding, and then asked, "Do you have any more information on that great opportunity overseas?"
The spy shook his head, "We’ve tried asking the children of those noble families and sects multiple tis, but found their lips are tightly sealed regarding this great opportunity, almost as if it’s a well-kept secret."
"Sir, if you also want to know about that great opportunity, you should follow Gu Yulong."
Hearing this, Su Que asked, "Where is Gu Yulong staying?"
The spy answered, "Gu Yulong was arranged by the Luo City County Magistrate to stay in a large mansion."
"Gu Yulong is a Divine Realm Martial Artist, aren’t you afraid of exposure while monitoring him?" Su Que asked.
The spy said, "Sir need not worry; our comrades are stationed extrely far away, using binoculars to monitor the movents at the mansion."
"This distance is very great, and we have no murderous intent towards a master like Gu Yulong, so naturally, we won’t be discovered."
Su Que asked, "Did Gu Yulong go out to sea tonight?"
The spy shook his head, "No."
Su Que began to contemplate.
Now he had two options.
One was to sneak into the Great Repair Inn and capture Luo Guanji, the direct disciple of the True Profound Sect Leader Master Xuanxin, to help him cultivate the Dark Evil Fist Seventh Heaven.
The other was to seize the opportunity while no one was going out to sea, to explore the sea himself, in case he could obtain that opportunity.
After so thought, Su Que decided to make a trip to sea.
Master Xuanxin of the True Profound Sect had seven disciples and a junior disciple; they couldn’t possibly stay holed up in the Celestial Treasure Palace forever.
As long as the Heaven-Breaking Army could trace their whereabouts again, he could find them.
But opportunities were rare and should be seized when encountered; otherwise, it might be taken by soone else later.
With his mind made up, Su Que leaped into action.
The spy only saw the flicker of the oil lamp, and suddenly, Su Que disappeared from in front of him, as if the window had opened and closed in an instant.
Inside the room, there was no trace of Su Que anymore, and it seed like there was more water on the ground than before.
...
After leaving the clinic, Su Que vaulted to the city wall, activated his Gang Qi vortex, tapped his foot, and leaped over the wall.
Then he flew toward the pier.
Upon reaching the pier, he plunged into the water with a splash.
As a Divine Realm Martial Artist, he naturally didn’t need a boat to venture out; he could swim.
Moreover, in such stormy weather, sailing wasn’t necessarily faster than swimming.
Su Que paddled with his arms and kicked with his feet, channeling True Qi, shooting through the waves like a swift arrow.
He thought that the opportunity might be on an island, so he strained his eyes, searching for the shadow of an island amidst the layers of rain curtains.
He swam for about the ti it takes to drink a cup of tea and finally spotted a shadow, imdiately exerting all his strength to swim vigorously toward the island.
Once ashore, he activated his Lightweight Skill and flitted across the island.
This island wasn’t large, and with his speed, it took only the ti it takes an incense stick to burn to traverse the entire island.
However, he found nothing, only startling a tiger that, upon discovering him, hoped to eat him, but was blasted into a pulp with a single punch.
Su Que left this small island and continued swimming to other small islands.
However, after searching five small islands, he still found nothing.
’Could it be that I’ll also return empty-handed like Luo Guanji and his group?’ Su Que wondered.
After all, despite their numbers, Luo Guanji and his group hadn’t found anything in days, so it’s likely he wouldn’t either.
’The spy said that every ti Luo Guanji’s ship returns, it’s damaged.’
’Could it be they sail into the storm? Is the opportunity there?’
With this thought, Su Que imdiately started paddling with his arms and kicking with his feet, heading toward the storm.
The closer he got, the faster the current beca.
There seed to be two forces in the water, swaying his body left and right.
