At Li Xingcong's command, no one dared delay. They swiftly escorted Gu Qingtong, swaddled in her blankets, out of Gu Manor under cover of darkness, heading straight for one of the small Teleportation Arrays the Li Family had established in Ascending Dragon Prefecture.
The small Teleportation Array had limited range and could only transport people within the province.
Ascending Dragon Prefecture was the Li Family's ancestral seat, so they had set up a small Teleportation Array in the prefectural city to handle any contingency.
They stepped into the array. Light flowed around them as space twisted.
Two Attendants stood on either side, vigilantly guarding Li Xingcong, who held Gu Qingtong in the center, and Gu Zhitíng.
A low hum sounded, followed by a flash of blinding light. Gu Zhitíng felt dizzy and disoriented. When he opened his eyes again, he was standing in the middle of a vast plaza.
The air suddenly felt incomparably fresh. Dense spiritual energy washed over him, making his pores open and leaving him refreshed and clear-headed, despite being a Qi and Blood Great Accomplishment Cultivator.

When Li Xingwu saw Li Xingcong, surprise showed in his eyes.
Li Xingcong hurried forward and cupped his hands
