Prosperity Academy was in Ten-Thousand Peaks City, ten thousand miles from Pine-Stone City. Flying there with Flash would take half a day, but the city's teleportation formation could get them there in an instant.
Nan Lingtian wanted to wait until Lin Bai had sent the New Heavenly Being to the Immortal Realm before approaching his teacher. That would make his case more convincing.
But the war god Xingtian told him that they had to strike while matters in the Mortal World kept Lin Bai occupied, leaving him no time to respond. Once all the New Heavenly Beings reached the Immortal Realm and Lin Bai had time to prepare, they would be the ones to suffer.
Nan Lingtian wholeheartedly agreed. He was willing to do anything that could screw Lin Bai over, and immediately decided to go find his teacher.
Xingtian had intended to accompany him, but Nan Lingtian suggested that he stay out of the city.
According to Nan Lingtian, Xingtian had no Nameplate. Appearing in a city without one would make him stand out like the moon in a dark sky. Even in Pine-Stone City, Nan Lingtian might not be able to suppress the news. Word of a Heavenly Being without a Nameplate might already have spread.
In Ten-Thousand Peaks City, Xingtian would likely be detained the moment he stepped out of the teleportation formation. Forget trapping his teacher—Nan Lingtian himself would get dragged down with him.
Under the influence of Deification, Nan Lingtian had completely lost his ability to think independently. He had never considered any other way to deal with Lin Bai, and had wholeheartedly aligned his thinking with Xingtian, his fellow sufferer.
After a moment's thought, Lin Bai kept the War God Body outside Pine-Stone City.
Gazing at Pine-Stone City, the War God Body sighed.
