The aged voice seemed to carry some sort of wondrous power.
Zhang Xiao shuddered, covered his eyes with one hand, and looked down. A pair of legs in cloth shoes stood right in front of him.
The Old Celestial Master?
"Grandpa? But didn't I use a Teleportation Talisman?"
Was this what it meant when the Great Shift Talisman said it could get him out of danger?
Explosive joy welled up in Zhang Xiao's heart. He sprang to his feet and saw a tall, straight-backed old man standing before him.
He had long whiskers and eyebrows, narrow eyes, and a kindly face. Dressed like a Daoist in white robes and cloth shoes, he stroked his beard and studied Zhang Xiao with a smile, the light in his eyes held deep within.
The Celestial Master of the Celestial Masters' Mansion on Dragon-Tiger Mountain-Zhang Cunyi!
One of his hands was pinning down an enormous, hideous black snake. It was far bigger than the one Zhang Xiao had seen in the film. Its head was almost the size of a semi-trailer!
Yet in the Old Celestial Master's grip, it was no different from a loach. No matter how it writhed, it could not break free.
Shock and bewilderment filled Tom's face. Somehow, he felt an incredibly oppressive presence emanating from this man.
"Who are you?"
Zhang Xiao ducked behind his grandpa and pointed at Tom, shouting:
"Grandpa, he's the one bullying me! He even wanted our family's Golden Light Spell!"
Zhang Cunyi coughed twice and said quietly, "My dear grandson, this Teleportation Talisman has a time limit. I'll have to go back in a moment. Once you're back in Huaxia, we can have a proper chat."
Zhang Xiao felt as though lightning had struck him. Go... go back?
*Even this cheat had a time
