Before he knew it, all of Yu Changkong's restraints on Fang Xiao had been lifted.
If Fang Xiao wanted to leave, he could do so at any time.
But if he truly ran off just like that, Yu Changkong would know without a doubt that something was amiss, and it would likely cause plenty of trouble afterward.
In that case, he might as well keep up the act to the end and cement his identity as Taibai Ancestor's disciple.
Fang Xiao did not hesitate for long before stepping forward to accept the token from Yu Changkong. He examined it with seeming casualness, though he was actually exceedingly cautious.
Although he had no way to determine whether there was anything wrong with it, on second thought, if Yu Changkong intended to harm him, why would he have let him go?
Besides, Fang Xiao needed this token.
With it, the rest of his journey would become much easier.
After all, it represented the status of the highest echelon of the Four Directions Immortal Sect. Within the Four Directions Immortal Sect's territory, it allowed one to ride teleportation arrays free of charge to any location in the Tianhuang Realm.
All he needed to do next was find any teleportation array, and he could travel directly to the Dongyuan Domain, saving several decades along the way.
"Then I must thank you, Senior.
Now that the task of delivering the 'Path-Seeking Flower' has been completed, this junior must return to my true body as soon as possible, so I shall not linger any longer."
"Mhm. Go, then. Convey this old man's greetings to your Master.
We shall meet again at the True Immortal's Legacy Mansion someday."
Yu Changkong nodded. He neither made things difficult for Fang Xiao nor showed any intention of forcibly keeping him.
