Night deepened.

Over the southern waters of Jingxian Island, a Standing Mirror silently opened.

An invisible figure stepped out without a sound. After several flashes, he was already standing in the sky above Jingxian Island.

"Tut, tut~"

Lu Ran looked down at the island below and only then realized that his horizons were still not broad enough.

This was indeed an island, but its scale was astonishing! Centered on Jingxian Island, a series of smaller islands lay scattered in all directions, all occupied by this faction.

With such a vast territory under its control, coupled with its geographical advantage, this faction's disciples should have been able to gather a great deal of Holy Spirit Qi, shouldn't they?

The Jingxian Faction's only threat should have been the evil demons in the sea.

Looking at it this way, the combined forces of the Asha Faction and Yan Qing's faction were quite formidable! They had actually managed to gain a firm foothold in these waters.

Lu Ran slowly flew through the air, searching for a target.

"Hmm?" His eyes narrowed as his gaze locked onto a thick tree at the edge of the island, more than ten meters tall.

Through gaps in the lush branches, Lu Ran spotted a vigilant man.

He was hiding quite well?

Lu Ran slowly descended, circling the big tree once as he examined it closely.

Just then, a four-person patrol team approached from afar. Lu Ran patiently remained suspended in midair without making a sound, waiting for the Patrol Team to leave.

Unexpectedly, the Patrol Team stopped beneath the tree.

A woman called out, "Shift change."

"Rustle, rustle~"

The lush leaves shook, and the man Lu Ran had been watching for so long leaped down from the tree with a wooden bow in hand.

Lu Ran: "..."
