"Is the mark you left on that person still there? You're sure it hasn't been discovered, right?" Qin Xia turned and asked Qin Qiu beside him.
"I can sense that the mark hasn't changed at all. They probably don't know I've been tracking them!" Qin Qiu said with certainty.
The lightning mark he had left behind was very special. It was a secret technique of the Qin Clan and extremely well concealed. If it had been discovered, even the slightest disturbance would have been detected by Qin Qiu. That was why he dared to say with certainty that his tracking had not been exposed.
"Mm, that's good. But when the time comes, I'll send someone ahead to check the situation first and see whether they've set up an ambush," Qin Xia said with a nod.
He remained extremely cautious about such matters. Even if Qin Qiu was certain, he still wanted to ensure nothing could possibly go wrong.
With that in mind, Qin Xia glanced back at the several dozen cultivators following behind them. For the sake of that treasure, he had spared no expense this time, bringing many of his trusted subordinates with him.
One of them, entirely wrapped in a black robe, looked especially mysterious. He was an assassin Qin Xia had hired. He had not originally hired the man because of the treasure, but for another matter. Still, Qin Xia had brought him along for this operation as an extra measure of final assurance.
Half a day later, Qin Qiu came to a stop and spoke to Qin Xia.
"I can sense that the mark is very close to us now, probably only a little over fifty kilometers away!"
"Seventh, go take a look first. If there's no one there, notify us immediately," Qin Xia said directly.
