Strength of Power
As both sides faced off, a voice came from the Teleportation Array.
"Alright, we can go now."
"Huh, that was fast?" Just moments ago, the imposing Zhao Yanwu quickly rushed over upon hearing Zuo Dao's words.
The corner of the Teleportation Array that had been damaged earlier was now repaired, but the craftsmanship left much to be desired. It looked as if a patch had been clumsily sewn onto a magnificent robe, creating an awkward sight.
"Is this really your way of leaving?" Zhao Yanwu was genuinely uncertain whether this Teleportation Array would work.
"You think I wanted this? Hurry up, Chen Yang, stop dawdling and let's go," Zuo Dao called out to Chen Yang, who was still confronting Bai Jiale and the others. "Wasting time with a bunch of insignificant fish is really something."
Ignoring the grim expressions on Bai Jiale's face, Chen Yang strode forward without looking back. However, before leaving, he released a hint of Immortal King aura to intimidate them.
Despite his countless grievances, upon sensing the aura of the Celestial King Realm, all of Bai Jiale's frustrations turned to ash. He could only watch as the three entered the Teleportation Array.
"Leave them." Suddenly, a voice came from behind Bai Jiale. Turning around, he saw several figures in black robes rushing towards him.
"Leave your sister! You can stay if you want!" Bai Jiale snapped back irritably before leading his group away. The black-robed figures arrived just in time to catch a glimpse of the three retreating figures.
"You bastard!" One of the black-clad individuals watched as Zuo Dao and his companions slipped away right under his nose. He was about to unleash his anger on Bai Jiale, but another black-robed figure stopped him.
The man shook his head, signaling him not to escalate things. Although their relationship with Bai Jiale wasn't a secret, it couldn't be exposed in front of everyone.
"This time it's my mistake; I didn't expect there would be such a character capable of repairing the Teleportation Array. How many people in the Eastern Victory Continent can do that?" said the one referred to as Third Elder.
"Aside from those old fossils, no one else should be able to achieve this," replied another black-robed figure as the one called Third Elder approached the Teleportation Array, examining it closely. Suddenly, his tone grew serious. "Even those old fossils wouldn't be able to do this."
He pointed to a corner that had been restored by Zuo Dao. "This section has just been repaired. Although it looks a bit rough, the array patterns have seamlessly merged with the original ones. I believe if they weren't in such a hurry, they could have done a better job. Moreover, those from the Eastern Victory Continent wouldn't be able to finish repairs in such a short time."
"Third Elder, why is that?" The leader of the black-robed figures seemed somewhat surprised. The Third Elder was the only Array Master in this team and one of the few Array Masters in the Dark Realm, with considerable expertise in formations. If even he was impressed, it was clear that their opponents were formidable.
The Third Elder smiled wryly. "Clearly, they were in a rush and couldn't have anticipated that we would destroy the Teleportation Array. To repair it within limited time and materials means what?"
Although the other black-robed figures were not Array Masters, they were Green Realm Assassins from the Dark Realm and had keen insights.
After hearing the Third Elder's words, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
"It seems this mission is more complicated than usual. Their side actually has two Array Masters, and while we don't know one of their levels, they certainly won't be weak. Regardless of that, can we track their destination?" The leader in black asked.
"Yes, Teleportation Arrays like this usually leave traces for better management. Let me take a look." With that, the Third Elder began to busy himself beside the Teleportation Array, and soon his voice came through.
"I've confirmed it; they Teleported to Cloud Smoke City." At this point, the Third Elder's tone turned strange. "What are they doing heading to Cloud Smoke City?"
"They're returning to Eastern Immortal City; from there, they can transfer through two more Teleportation Arrays to reach their destination. The target is someone of significant status within Eastern Immortal City." Upon hearing the Third Elder's words, the black-robed leader no longer doubted. "Send the information back; everyone should prepare and follow them."
While the group of black-robed figures was discussing, Zuo Dao and his companions had already arrived at Firewind Town via the Teleportation Array.
"Do you have something to say to us? And what about this Teleportation Array?" Zhao Yanwu had been wanting to ask Zuo Dao but couldn't speak during the Teleportation.
"What if we don't leave? Just wait around to be chased again?" As Zuo Dao stepped out of the Teleportation Array, he began surveying the bustling town before him. This town was much livelier than the previous Border Town, and the guards at the Teleportation Array were stronger than those from before; however, even their strength was merely at the level of ordinary guards.
As soon as the three appeared at the Teleportation Array, they caught the attention of the guards—specifically Zuo Dao and Zhao Yanwu; Chen Yang was completely ignored.
With handsome men and beautiful women, there was an undeniable aura about them that couldn't be feigned. The guards at the Teleportation Array had seen countless people come and go, and their discerning eyes were exceptionally sharp.
"Please step down from the platform quickly to avoid blocking others," the guard said politely.
Zuo Dao smiled slightly at the guard, and the three quickly descended from the arena.
"What should we do next?" Zuo Dao turned to Zhao Yanwu and asked.
"First, report to the Defense Headquarters, then we can make our appearance," Zhao Yanwu replied, keeping her intentions vague about their next destination.
At the same time, she sent a message to Zuo Dao. "What exactly happened earlier?"
Zuo Dao gestured for her to set up a formation before speaking. "It seems a few assassins from the Green Realm rushed over. To avoid a confrontation with them below, we had no choice but to slip away."
Zhao Yanwu was furious upon hearing this. "How could you be so foolish? The Teleportation Array records every use. They just need to check, and they'll know where we went. It's only a matter of time."
"Well, they still have to send someone over," Zuo Dao replied with a sly smile.
"You don't mean..." Zhao Yanwu suddenly seemed to understand something, looking at Zuo Dao. "But I've seen that Teleportation Array too; there was nothing unusual about it!"
"If you could see anything wrong, what would I be doing here? After all, I'm known as the 'Supreme Authority of the Universe and Chief Array Master throughout History'!" Zuo Dao boasted with a grin.
"What exactly did you do?" Zhao Yanwu made a disgusted expression.
"Nothing much, just altered some patterns and removed a few nodes. Of course, they wouldn't discover anything unless they dismantled the entire Teleportation Array," Zuo Dao said nonchalantly.
"Uh." Zhao Yanwu chuckled upon hearing this. "So where will they end up being teleported?"
"How would I know? I just picked the farthest spatial node inside; who knows where that leads?" Zuo Dao shrugged. He didn't care about those people's fates; he set it as far away as possible, and it was one-way. Moreover, that Teleportation Array would be rendered useless after one more use.
One couldn't possibly be hunted down and still foot the bill for the other party.
"You are quite the villain," Zhao Yanwu chuckled, feeling in high spirits.
"My sister, you are even worse than me when it comes to killing," Zuo Dao replied helplessly.
The three of them made their way toward the Defense Headquarters. After they left, the guards at the Teleportation Array began to whisper among themselves.
"Wu Zi, why are you being so polite to those people?" It was clear that this was a newcomer. The person referred to as Wu Zi replied, "I told you to pay attention. There are many people coming and going; you should know what kind of people they are, but you just can't seem to learn."
Wu Zi glanced at Zuo Dao and his companions, gesturing toward them. "Did you see that? Their aura is not something an ordinary Cultivator possesses. The most formidable one is that bodyguard; he has an incredible presence, which makes him truly frightening."
As he educated the newcomer, he kept an eye on the comings and goings at the Teleportation Array.
Having learned from his experience in Border Town, Zhao Yanwu handed a token each to Zuo Dao and Chen Yang halfway through their journey.
"This is temporarily for you to use; remember to return it later."
Zuo Dao looked at the token in his hand and grinned. "Oh, a Dark Token! I didn't know your stock was so impressive!"
Chen Yang also noticed the uniqueness of the token he held. The dark character for "dark" was engraved on it, making what would have been an ordinary token suddenly shine with brilliance. He hadn't expected to receive it so soon; after all, Zhao Yanwu had previously mentioned that his identity would only be confirmed in Eastern Immortal City.
Zuo Dao, however, completely ignored Zhao Yanwu's words and tucked away the token. "You give it to me and then want it back? You're too much."
Chen Yang couldn't help but smile.
The three of them hurried along and soon arrived at the Defense Headquarters. Before a few guards outside could approach to inquire, Zuo Dao flipped his hand and revealed the Dark Token.
“Dark Realm is here on business, Garrison, why aren’t you out yet?” The words were filled with an overwhelming presence, brimming with arrogance.
Zhao Yanwu couldn’t help but sigh, wondering when Dark Realm had become so brazen in their dealings.
A few guards were about to inquire further when they suddenly heard Zuo Dao’s statement. One of the uninformed individuals, seeing Zuo Dao’s audacity, opened his mouth to speak.
“Dark you—” Before he could finish, he was tightly grabbed from behind by a guard who quickly covered his mouth.
“Gentlemen, please don’t mind him; he’s a bit out of sorts,” the guard said as he dragged the man away, no matter how much he struggled, he remained firmly pinned down.
Zuo Dao’s voice was loud enough to echo throughout the Defense Headquarters, easily heard by anyone who wasn’t particularly hard of hearing. Especially those who had been nearby; after hearing Zuo Dao’s words, they immediately vanished without a trace.
“I didn’t expect Dark Realm to have such a reputation,” Zuo Dao whispered to Zhao Yanwu.
Zhao Yanwu completely ignored Zuo Dao, simply distancing himself to indicate that they were not well acquainted. Chen Yang also subtly moved away from Zuo Dao.
They couldn’t afford to lose face; Zuo Dao’s behavior was far too outrageous and was bound to tarnish the name of “Dark Realm.” At that moment, Zhao Yanwu regretted lending the “Dark Token” to Zuo Dao.
“May I ask which esteemed member of Dark Realm has graced us with their presence? Iron Yue regrets not being able to welcome you properly.” At that moment, a voice came from within the residence. By the time the sound faded, the visitor had already stood at the entrance of the town hall.
