"I can't explain it clearly in just a few words. Anyway, I've already informed Mingye about the Heart Demon Emperor. You can listen to her later."
Just now, Chen Mu had already transmitted the data related to the Power of Wishes, the Holy Light God Sect, and the Heart Demon Emperor to the data center in Chen Village through Xiaozhi.
Currently, Mingye manages the data center. After receiving Chen Mu's data, she will naturally send people to investigate further, compile it into a file, and distribute it to the tribe's leadership.
"Alright, let's not delay any longer, let's head to North Wind City first."
"Okay, let's go."
Chen Mu hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip. He grabbed Zheng Fengdao and teleported to the side of the teleportation array.
Several civilians nearby were startled, but Chen Mu ignored them and walked straight into the teleportation array.
Normally, Chen Mu wouldn't teleport arbitrarily between other cities, because the spatial fluctuations caused by teleportation could easily arouse the vigilance of city administrators, and could lead to misunderstandings.
However, after causing such a commotion at the Holy Light Sect, he had already sensed the gazes of several cultivators at the Core Formation Realm or above, among whom were undoubtedly people from the City Lord's Mansion of Alkaid City.
Now that his strength had been exposed, he decided not to hide it any longer and leave as soon as possible.
"Let's go to Biling City next! From Biling City, we'll go here, and then here, and here..."
Inside the teleportation array, Zheng Fengdao pointed to the map of public teleportation points on the wall and confirmed the teleportation route with Chen Mu.
"Okay, go ahead with your plan, I have no objections."
Chen Mu nodded. He didn't care which route it was, as long as he got to North Wind City as soon as possible.
The distance between Alkaid City and North Wind City is over 100,000 kilometers, which is an extremely expensive teleportation fee for cultivators. However, Chen Mu is now wealthy and doesn't care about this small amount of money.
Before setting off, he had already given Zheng Fengdao a generous sum of Spirit Stone as funding for the operation.
"Okay, let's go!"
After Zheng Fengdao paid the Spirit Stone, they headed to the next capital city as a pale blue light surged.
While teleportation arrays are fast, it still takes almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn to cross a capital city. After all, the capitals of the Central Land are often tens of thousands of kilometers apart, so being able to cross them in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn is already quite remarkable.
On the other hand, teleportation requires passing through a spatial tunnel, which is very taxing on a person's mental energy. Even someone with profound cultivation like Zheng Fengdao needs to rest for a while after each few teleportations.
On the way, Chen Mu and his companion did not linger and teleported to four capital cities in a row before they left the teleportation array to rest.
"We can't get past Flying Dragon City, it seems we'll have to find another city to detour."
After arriving in this capital city, they discovered that some cities had blocked the teleportation arrays due to war, making it impossible for them to pass through. They had no choice but to find a way to detour.
Although Chen Village had an intelligence network established by Shadow Guards, the heartland of the Central Land was far away from Chen Village, and Zheng Fengdao had not conducted a detailed investigation before coming here, so he was unaware that this situation would occur.
"It's alright, we can take a detour, it won't cost much."
You rest first, and we'll continue when you're rested.
Compared to Zheng Fengdao, Chen Mu's spirit was much better. His Divine Soul had been tempered by the Karmic Fire Cushion for many years and had also experienced the trials of inner demons during the Heavenly Tribulation. His perseverance was incomparable to that of ordinary cultivators.
He could endure even hundreds of teleportations a day, let alone just a few times, if necessary.
Half an hour later, with the help of elixirs, Zheng Fengdao's spirits had recovered to about 70-80%, and they continued their teleportation journey.
And so, they traveled at a leisurely pace, passing through more than a dozen capital cities in two hours, finally arriving at a city near North Wind City.
"We can't get to North Wind City using the teleportation array anymore. North Wind City has now submitted to Ma Hongxian, the Xiliang City, while Yichang City, where we are now, belongs to Zhang Huai Mu Zhang of Yu Province."
The two sides have been engaged in fierce fighting recently, and there's no way to take a detour; they have no choice but to walk there themselves.
After exiting the teleportation array in Yichang City, Zheng Fengdao informed Chen Mu of the information he had gathered.
"Alright then, I'll fly you there later. Let's get out of the city first!"
Chen Mu shrugged indifferently.
The war in the Central Land has intensified in recent years, with the distribution of power changing dramatically every few months. He knew he couldn't blame Zheng Fengdao and could only accept his bad luck.
There are thirteen provinces in the Central Land. According to the official system of the Haotian Empire, each province is headed by a governor, which is equivalent to a provincial governor on Earth. Below the governor are the capital city, the prefectural city, and the smallest county town.
As far as Chen Mu knew, North Wind City was a prefecture city that originally belonged to Yu Province, but unexpectedly it had been occupied by the Xiliang City.
Although Xiliang City is a wealthy metropolis, the fact that Ma Hongxian could single-handedly confront the governor and even conquer North Wind City suggests that he is quite a remarkable figure.
Zheng Fengdao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the teleportation was no longer going to happen. Having experienced nearly twenty teleportations in one day, he now had a sense of fear towards teleportation arrays.
The two walked to the nearest city gate, and after half an hour, they finally walked out of the Yichang City.
Chen Mu took out his bulky little spaceship, boarded it with Zheng Fengdao, and then soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards North Wind City.
After a long and arduous day, it was now Dusk. However, since both of them were cultivators, the difference between day and night had little impact on them, so they traveled directly to North Wind City through the night.
The journey from Yichang City to North Wind City is seven or eight thousand kilometers. Even with Chen Mu's current cultivation level, it would take him nearly five or six hours to fly that far in his small spaceship.
At midnight, when Chen Mu's spaceship passed the border between North Wind City and Yichang City, he saw large numbers of soldiers fighting on both sides.
Who goes there?
A middle-aged man with red hair suddenly rushed out of the military camp and stood between the camp and Chen Mu.
This person was clearly a powerful figure who was there to support the army. Chen Mu was simply on his way and hadn't activated the runes to conceal his spaceship, which is why he was discovered.
"Haha, I was just passing through and had no intention of disturbing you. I'm leaving now!"
Chen Mu formed a hand seal, activating the spatial runes on the small spaceship, instantly traversing seven or eight kilometers and avoiding the battlefield between the two armies.
The red-haired middle-aged man was startled, but Chen Mu's actions proved that he meant no harm, so he had no choice but to remain still and silently watch Chen Mu leave.
After a few breaths, Chen Mu's spaceship gradually moved away from his senses, and he finally felt relieved. He turned around, descended, and flew back to his military camp.
"Lord Teng Yan, how is the situation?"
In the center of the military camp, a spirited female general sat upright and asked a question.
"It's alright, that person was just passing by and has already left."
However, that person's spaceship was incredibly powerful; it could teleport seven or eight kilometers at once. I wonder which master craftsman created it."
Although Teng Yan held a high position and was Core Formation Realm expert, he still did not have a suitable magic weapon for transportation, and his tone was quite envious.
That's good!
The female general relaxed.
When she heard Teng Yan mention the spaceship that could teleport, she felt like she had heard it mentioned somewhere before, but she couldn't remember exactly where.
"Lord Teng Yan, you've worked hard. You should go back and rest!"
"Yes! I'll take my leave."
