Chapter 401: Azure Dragon Rises to the Sky (2)

However, when he arrived at the West Gate Docks, it would not be so easy for him to lock onto Mei Zhanqing immediately. Although she was definitely one of the evil auras present, she did not have a clear escape route out of the city like before. One of the evil auras hiding within could actually be her trying to blend in with the crowd.

However, he could also directly screen out a portion of them Since Mei Zhanqing wanted to escape by water, it was unlikely that she would be at the docks. Therefore, it was most likely one of the evil aura that was clinging onto the river surface at this moment.

However, these boats were all moving, and there were also many boats heading out of the port.

If he wanted to screen carefully, it was best to board the ship himself. Otherwise, it would be difficult to lock onto which ship Mei Zhanqing was on. However, this would delay every ship for a while. If he was unlucky and could not find her even after a long time, it would be even more difficult to search for her next After all, the ship was moving. After leaving the port, it would follow the river. Its speed would not be slow, and it would be further and further away from Ning Tian.

Although he could fly, it also consumed magic power. Although his Second Order mental strength exceeded the conventional level of this world, it was far from being inexhaustible.

Therefore, they could either fly to the front to guard the port and patrol every ship that passed, or they could stop these ships and return to the port.

The latter was naturally the best. That way, Mei Zhanqing would have nowhere to escape.

Just as Zhou Jing was thinking, a team of officers rushed over.

"May I know why Perfected Master Windwalker is here?"

The leader was the deputy commander of West Gate Docks' prison camp. He knew Zhou Jing's appearance and immediately cupped his hands in greeting. His attitude was quite respectful.

When Zhou Jing saw him, his eyes lit up.

"You guys came at the right time. A demoness has harmed someone in the city and has already alarmed the government. The officials are chasing after her everywhere. This poor priest managed to follow her and realized that the demoness had boarded a boat and wanted to escape by water."

"There's actually such a thing?"

The Deputy Commander was stunned. He had yet to receive the news of the woman's "jailbreak".

The incident was sudden, and the news did not spread so quickly. The government did not intend to close the city gate for such a small matter, so there was no order.

Zhou Jing raised his palm and bowed, "I hope you can make an exception for me. Let the guards at the ferry hold a flag and summon all the ships back to the port to investigate carefully."

"Well"

The Deputy Commander hesitated.

Although he was willing to give Zhou Jing face, it was his duty to guard the West Gate docks. It was not appropriate for him to listen to the orders of an outsider with no status. Moreover, he did not know the details of this matter, so he could not help but weigh the pros and cons in his heart.

After thinking for a while, the deputy commander of the prison camp decided to play it safe. He waved his hand casually,

"I'm willing to help you, but I can't make the decision on this matter. How about this? I'll inform the commander before sending someone to ask the ferry guards."

"If that's the case, I'm afraid I would have missed the opportunity."

When Zhou Jing heard this, he knew that he could not count on the garrison guards posted here, so he could only give up.

Although the other party did things according to the rules, by the time he finished reporting, Mei Zhanqing would have long run away. At that time, letting the different batches of ships return to the port would be no different from carving a ship for a sword.

"It's better for this Daoist to take action Please stabilize the people at the docks. My next move is only to catch the thief. I hope you don't misunderstand."

Zhou Jing shook his head. Without waiting for the deputy commander to ask in detail, he suddenly soared into the sky and flew out of the port.

As the speed of the boats and ships were not fast in the port, he easily overtook all of them.

The officials and civilians at the docks, as well as the boatmen on the various boats at the port, watched in surprise as Zhou Jing flew over their heads and out of the port.

"It's Perfected Master Windwalker!"

"What is the Perfected One doing?"

Everyone was surprised.

On the boat, the boatman, who was rocking the boat, also exclaimed in surprise and said excitedly, "Yo, isn't that Perfected One Ling Fengzi! He's indeed someone from the Deva realm. More than ten days ago, he stepped into the river in order to enter Ning Tian. I saw a real show at the crossing and was so shocked that I couldn't sleep the entire night. I went back and told the children. They even said that I was blind."

Inside the ship, Mei Zhanqing's face was pale as paper. She was in a bad state, as if he had been injured.

After the ghosts she refined were destroyed, she also suffered a backlash and her mind was injured. She immediately guessed that Zhou Jing had chased after her and hid in the black tent, not daring to show her face at all.

Hearing the boatman's words, Mei Lieqing's heart skipped a beat. She forced himself to calm down and asked, "Ferryman, what is Perfected Master Windwalker doing now?"

The ferryman did not suspect anything and replied, "The Perfected One flew over just now and landed on the river near the port, but I don't know what he wants to do."

Mei's heart sank. He could guess Zhou Jing's plan Was he trying to use the method of walking on the river to guard the river surface and interrogate all the ships that had passed?

"Ling Fengzi is really hateful. He doesn't give me any chance of survival!"

Mei Lieqing's eyes flickered. Then, she gritted her teeth and revealed a sinister expression.

She originally did not want to use this technique, but now, she had no choice

She adjusted her tone and suddenly became gentle and charming as she spoke out seductively,

"Boatman, can you come in for a chat? I have something to discuss~"

The ferryman's heart skipped a beat. He felt as if this voice was the only thing left in his mind. His soul seemed to have been hooked. For some reason, he put down the oar and lowered his body to enter the dark tent.

A few seconds later, the boat suddenly swayed a few times before quickly calming down.

There was a rustling sound of changing clothes.

After a while, Mei Zhanqing walked out of the cabin. She had already changed into a set of ragged rough clothes and even made a disguise. Her eyes were deep and wrinkled, and she looked quite old-fashioned. One could not see her original beauty. At the same time, her face was sallow and thin, as if she had become a malnourished woman.
