"It can't be. They must have returned!" Li Zongbao shook his head. "Although that secret Teleportation Array is not controlled by this senior, it surely leads directly to Xuntian City..."
"Then that's strange!" Xiao Hua scratched his head, while the Golden Core cultivator wore an even stranger expression.
Yet this expression vanished in a flash. The Golden Core cultivator asked, "Are you heading back to Xuntian City? Do you have proof of identity?"
After Li Zongbao produced his token and the Golden Core cultivator inspected it, he sent Xiao Hua and the other two into the Teleportation Array. Only after watching the array's radiance gradually fade did a smile curl across his lips. He muttered, "Heh heh, Thunder Control Sect... they really are somewhat interesting..."
But as soon as he said this, the Golden Core cultivator's smile disappeared. Reaching out, he took out a disc-shaped array artifact and frowned. "Whose divine sense was that just now? How could it be so formidable? Or was it a sword cultivator's? Whoever it was, this Teleportation Array of mine needs to change locations again!"
As Xiao Hua and the others emerged from the Teleportation Array, they still felt somewhat ill at ease despite having used teleportation talismans. The moment Li Zongbao and Xiao Mao left the array, they sat cross-legged in an empty spot nearby, closed their eyes, and adjusted their breathing. Naturally, Xiao Hua followed suit.
Just as Xiao Hua was putting on an act, the Teleportation Array's light flickered repeatedly, and three late Golden Core cultivators appeared within it!
"Eh? Isn't this Fellow Daoist Qing Bi?" From a distance, the Golden Core cultivator overseeing the Teleportation Array spotted them and hurried over, cupping his hands toward the graceful female cultivator at the front.
"Hehe, so it is Fellow Daoist Bing Yu.
