Chapter 851: Chapter 845: Your Cultivation Is Not Enough

Gu Youyou spoke in a low voice, "There might be trouble tonight, go into the cabin first." After speaking, she turned to Gui Yunxi and said, "Once we dock, if there’s a chance, run. Take care of Searcy and send her back to the Lin Family in Beijing."

Searcy’s expression grew solemn, "Why do you sound like you’re giving your last instructions? What’s frightening you so much?"

"It’s not fear," Gu Youyou said. "I just want to minimize the harm. You won’t be of much help here. Just looking out for your own life would be a great help to me."

"What? I won’t be of much help?" Searcy didn’t like such words used about her.

She was so formidable!

"Alright, you all stop talking." Jin Zijin interrupted them, then addressed Gu Youyou, "You too, run at the first chance, and don’t go to Beijing. Head to Qi Mountain to find my master."

He took out the crimson dagger and further commanded, "Set sail, we’re docking. Jin Yan, you escort them to Qi Mountain. If anything happens to her, you will answer to me."

That wasn’t going to happen.

Xiao Jinyan shook his head, "Why should I bother with so much? As long as you are safe, that’s enough." He casually pointed to two sailors, "Escort them safely to Qi Mountain, and there’ll be an extra reward of a thousand taels for each."

Jin Zijin’s cool gaze shot towards Xiao Jinyan as he said indifferently, "Keep her safe; it’s an order!"

"You..." Xiao Jinyan was visibly discontent, all because of this woman.

Back in Lotus Village, he had said this woman should not be kept around.

Now, look what happened. She had indeed become his Achilles’ heel. Looking for this woman, he had almost lost his life.

The boat had docked, and Jin Zijin leapt ashore, his figure quickly vanishing into the darkness.

Gu Youyou watched his receding figure until it disappeared.

She didn’t want to follow his instructions, didn’t want to see him face Yu Jizi alone, but she understood that only by listening to him would he be at ease to confront Yu Jizi.

Once the boat was securely docked, the passengers began to disembark. Despite Xiao Jinyan’s obvious reluctance, he had no choice but to follow Jin Zijin’s orders, quickly leading Gu Youyou and the others away.

The dozen or so sailors with them sent two to inform Che Xiangyuan, while the others went to pursue Jin Zijin.

In the tranquil fishing village, the fishermen were deep in sleep, unaware of the deadly struggle unfolding on the sands.

Not far from the dimly lit dock, the corpses of twenty guards lay neatly side by side as if asleep, peaceful expressions on each of their faces.

Yu Jizi stood beside the bodies, with a smirk almost watching Jin Zijin.

The scene was incredibly eerie.

"My nephew, it’s been a while," he said.

Jin Zijin didn’t respond, just gripped the dagger tightly.

Yu Jizi glanced at his hand and remarked, "Your thirty years of cultivation are far from enough to contend with me. The only one who could possibly match me is your master, yet distant waters can’t put out a nearby fire, and he’s gone mad."

"Is that so? How will we know if we don’t try?" Jin Zijin said coldly.

"Heh..." Yu Jizi let out a light laugh, squinting his narrow eyes at Jin Zijin, "The young these days are so cocky. But don’t worry, I won’t do much to you. After all, I am someone who abides by the rules. I’m here today just to take back what’s mine. You’ve had it for far too long; it’s time to give it back."
