After observing with the Thousand Miles Mirror for a while, Qi Tian found that although the Thousand Miles Mirror could penetrate the dense fog and clearly see hundreds of meters behind the sailing ship, it could not go further. This short distance was extremely dangerous for cultivators. If someone wanted to attack their sail ship, it would only take a few seconds, at most twenty or thirty seconds, to cross this distance.

Qi Tian looked back and saw that although Wan Xiaolan had given him the task of watching, she was not idle. She was holding another Thousand Miles Mirror, looking at the left side of the sailing ship for a while, and then the right side. She didn’t rest for a moment.

“Senior, how long will it take for us to reach our destination?” Qi Tian asked.

While still looking through the Thousand Miles Mirror, Wan Xiaolan replied, “There’s still some time to go. If everything goes smoothly, it’ll be another two or three hours. If there’s any hiccup, it’ll take even longer.”

Qi Tian’s face changed slightly. Would it really take that long? The surroundings of the sailing ship were shrouded in fog for a long time, and the Thousand Miles Mirror could only provide a limited view of several hundred meters. This made him feel insecure.

It’s not that Qi Tian suffered from paranoia, but this was the Cultivation World, where there were no laws and numerous temptations. There were simply too many reasons for one person to assault another. Moreover, it wasn’t the first time Qi Tian had left Wanjie City. The last time he left, he was ambushed on the way. If he still fantasized about having a peaceful journey this time, then he’d be really courting death.

Qi Tian directly activated the Spirit Qi sensing function of the Heavenly Dao Engine and instantly cranked up the power to the max. The Heavenly Dao Engine then provided Qi Tian with a three-dimensional map showcasing the distribution of Spirit Qi within thousands of meters.

Looking at the map with his Divine Sense, Qi Tian turned pale. He found that a thousand meters away, there was a sailing ship, larger than the one they were on, subtly drawing closer to them. One and a half thousand meters away, there were two more sailing ships following them at a distance.

Qi Tian was uncertain whether these three sailing ships were following them. There was no wall here to keep others out, so theoretically, anyone could come. However, having experienced dozens of battles, Qi Tian had gradually developed a sense for danger. Moreover, during his recent breakthrough at Yanming Pass, his mental strength had soared, making his senses even sharper.

His intuition told Qi Tian that these three sailing ships were definitely targeting them, with a high probability of ill intentions. What made Qi Tian even more unnerved was that on the closest of those ships, he detected a surge of spiritual energy no weaker than that of Liang Yuqi.

Qi Tian wanted to tell Wan Xiaolan about his discovery, but he didn’t know how to explain it. After all, the Thousand Miles Mirror could only see a few hundred meters away, while the nearest ship was a kilometer away. He couldn’t very well tell Wan Xiaolan that he had used his own means to find out. Would Wan Xiaolan turn against him if he did, and dispose of him together with the enemies?

Qi Tian thought about it and said to Wan Xiaolan, “Senior, I don’t know why, but I feel extremely uneasy, as if a primal beast will suddenly attack us from the fog.”

Wan Xiaolan looked at Qi Tian in surprise. She was aware of the three sailing ships tailing them closely. Unless something unexpected happened, their pursuers should have entered the dense fog by now. Supposedly, those three ships wouldn’t be detected by Qi Tian. So why would he have such a feeling? Could it be that Qi Tian possessed a natural talent for sensing dangers beforehand?

While she was pondered with various thoughts, Wan Xiaolan kept her face emotionless and said, “Even if there are primal beasts, we needn’t worry. Aren’t I still here? Even if I can’t handle it, isn’t Elder Liang also here? Just relax, the sky is not going to collapse.”

With things said to this extent, there was nothing more specific Qi Tian could tell. Perhaps being too explicit wasn’t a good idea. What Qi Tian could do was to constantly use the Heavenly Dao Engine’s Spirit Qi sensing function to detect the surroundings and monitor the three pursuing sailing ships. What troubled Qi Tian was that the distance between them and the pursuing ships was gradually shortening, although the rate wasn’t swift, their distance apart was indeed decreasing over time.

Qi Tian estimated that within at most ten more minutes, he would be able to see the first sailing ship behind them with the Thousand Miles Mirror. He struggled to think of a solution but could not come up with an effective plan. The lack of strength and means to combat a Gold Core Stage Level 6 cultivator left him feeling bound at this moment.

The only thing Qi Tian could do was to wait. To tell the truth, if it weren’t for the presence of Liang Yuqi, who was also a Gold Core Stage Level 6 cultivator on the ship, Qi Tian might have already fled. In this place where his senses were severely restricted, he had a natural advantage if he wanted to escape. However, at this moment, all he could do was to wait helplessly for the situation to unfold in a direction he could not control.
