Since all the Jailers on the island had gathered in the central region.
That meant if the last remaining Evil Eye was still alive, no Jailers would be present when Jia Xin searched for it. The only ones here could be cultivators or the three Qing Gui, and the likelihood of encountering the latter was high.
The two arrived in a scenic pastoral landscape through the spatial passage Zhang Chen had created. Numerous farmhouses stood atop the small hill before them, most with their doors open. Naturally, no living people resided within the replicated world on the island. Jia Xin only needed to consider whether Evil Eye was somewhere within this area.
"Jailer?"
Hidden among the trees, Jia Xin's gaze was exceptionally sharp as he spotted a young Huaxia Country man slowly emerging from a two-story farmhouse on the hillside.
"A lone Huaxia Country Jailer... Could he be Yu Ming, the one Zhang Chen said was with Qing Gui? He still appears to be searching, so it seems Evil Eye has not yet fallen into their hands. There is still an opportunity."
Jia Xin knew Qing Gui was here, yet he did not retreat. In his view, Qing Gui's desire to obtain all the evil artifacts surely meant he harbored intentions more or less detrimental to the state of the world.

At the final moment, that might serve as leverage for negotiation.
Jia Xin's gaze remained fixed on Yu Ming atop the hill.
