Three Pillars City.
"Are you sure he left through this gate, rather than using a teleportation formation?"
Outside the city gate, an old man in purple robes glanced at the brocade-clad young man beside him and asked in a low voice.
The young man immediately replied, "There's no mistake. He used a Heaven-Defying Pill. That particular aura is very difficult to erase."
The purple-robed elder nodded, then asked, "Is the information about Yang Qianxing reliable? Is he really unable to return?"
"Rest assured, the information is absolutely reliable. I've bribed an important figure on Divine Pillar Mountain. According to him, Yang Qianxing went to First Pillar Heaven to discuss ways of dealing with the changes in the Star Array. He won't be back for twenty or thirty years. I also learned that the fellow surnamed Lin had used a Heaven-Defying Pill from that same person."
The brocade-clad young man looked as though he had everything firmly in hand.
He continued, "And I've learned the approximate location where he's undergoing his tribulation. It's somewhere along the eastern edge of the Dark Sea. Your Snow Eagle Organization has plenty of people, so finding him should be easy. The first and second trials of the Dao Integration Great Tribulation take an extremely long time. There's no way he can finish them quickly. This is the perfect opportunity to strike."
"Excellent."
A satisfied look appeared on the purple-robed elder's face.
He immediately took out several transmission talismans and activated them one after another.
"Let's go. Nothing in this world is absolute. Neither of us believes that wretch can successfully ascend, but we must still guard against the possibility. Let's not waste time."
After activating the transmission talismans, the purple-robed elder called out, and the two tore through space and departed.
