Ling'er looked at Chu Tian with a strange expression, but didn't think much of it.
She was the first one to "donate," the graceful woman who had shed tears.
All of this was a setup by them.
Lin Qingyuan found Chu Tian's words quite reasonable, and he also realized he couldn't take these treasures with him.
With no other choice, he drooped his head, looking very unhappy.
"Alright, Xiao Yuanzi, you mentioned before that we were going to the Sea of the Underworld, are we going now?"
Chu Tian remembered that Lin Qingyuan had told him their next stop was the Sea of the Underworld.
Before, it was impossible for him to catch up to the ship, otherwise he would have definitely hijacked the Cloud Water vessel to his destination.
"I don't think we need to go. Master's instructions were for us to find the Sea Eye. We've already encountered it. You must have bled, right? I really want to see you bleed!"
When Lin Qingyuan heard Chu Tian ask about it, despite his bad mood, he answered truthfully.
"Bled? I did bleed quite a bit!"
Chu Tian frowned and nodded.
"Did you drip it into the monster's mouth?" Lin Qingyuan pressed.
"Yes!" Chu Tian continued to nod.
It was precisely because his blood dripped into the abyss's gaping maw that he was inexplicably teleported out.
"That's good then. We accidentally completed what Master instructed," Lin Qingyuan said, and then continued to be unhappy.
Chu Tian asked him if his grandfather had any other arrangements.
Lin Qingyuan shook his head and said, "It's not time yet. I'll tell you when it is."
This kid was being so mysterious, Chu Tian suspected he was doing it deliberately because Chu Tian had snatched his treasure mountain.
"That's great, come with me! I must take you back!" Ling'er said happily after hearing their conversation.
Chu Tian looked at her excited demeanor with a helpless expression.
"Why do you insist on taking me to the Soul Spirit Sect?"
"Because..." Ling'er was about to say, but then stopped, her eyes gleaming before she continued, "You'll know when you get there."
"So mysterious?"
"Yes, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you. It's not far from here. If we leave now, we should arrive in three days! Uh... no, it should be seven days!" she suddenly realized something.
Chu Tian had no objections. Ever since he arrived in the Yin Yang Realm, he had heard of the Soul Spirit Sect.
Ling'er had also been inviting him there, so it wouldn't hurt to go.
"And you, staying outside or coming in?" Chu Tian pointed at his own stomach.
"What do you think?" Chu Qiankun rolled his eyes.
"Then let's go together, but can you change your face? You look exactly like a mirror to me, and it's uncomfortable to look at!"
Chu Tian said with a wry smile.
Chu Qiankun rolled his eyes again, giving Chu Tian a glare.
"Do you think I'm not uncomfortable? Damn it..."
With that, he flicked his sleeve and went to find Lin Qingyuan.
Chu Tian touched his nose, feeling like he had offended two people.
Besides Lin Qiaoqiao and Ling'er, the two men in the group disliked him.
Ling'er led everyone to set sail.
Seven days passed.
Chu Tian finally understood what she had meant by three days earlier.
Their journey...
For the first four days, they were traveling.
They rode in a carriage pulled by Ling'er's strange beast.
When they reached a place called Yulin City, they boarded a teleportation array.
Then, for the next three days, they were on the teleportation array without getting off.
Constantly teleporting, the three days finally passed.
Chu Tian was already finding it unbearable, while Lin Qingyuan and Lin Qiaoqiao had turned pale.
Upon arriving at their destination,
Ling'er looked at the two with some apology.
"I'm sorry, I forgot your cultivation levels were lower. I activated continuous teleportation directly in Yulin City. It only stops when we reach the destination!"
However, Lin Qiaoqiao and Lin Qingyuan had no time to reply.
As soon as they got out of the teleportation array, they collapsed by the roadside and vomited profusely.
After three days of teleportation, they were now an unknown distance from Bihai City.
Chu Tian guessed they had entered the heartland of Zhongzhou.
"Let's rest here for a day!"
Ling'er helped Lin Qiaoqiao, while Chu Qiankun held Lin Qingyuan under his arm.
Ling'er's suggestion was readily agreed to by Chu Tian with a nod.
He also wanted to explore the city.
Chu Tian extended his spiritual sense, covering a range of two hundred miles, yet he couldn't see the edge.
One could imagine how vast this city was.
The group found an inn nearby.
Ling'er and Chu Qiankun checked in with Lin Qingyuan and Lin Qiaoqiao.
Chu Tian, however, didn't even enter, telling them he was going out to wander before leaving.
Not long after he left, a flash of light appeared on the teleportation array, and three people emerged.
"Finally, we're here. After three days on the teleportation array, I'm almost going to throw up!"
Among the three, the youngest man, holding a folding fan, fanned himself constantly.
"I say, Young Master Cao, your body is truly delicate. At your cultivation level, you can still get sick? Why don't you demonstrate it now?"
The one who replied was a middle-aged woman, her hair in a bun, but she wore clothes like a young girl.
Paired with her heavily rouged face, just one glance made one feel their lifespan would be shortened.
"You two, stop messing around. Is the news this time reliable? I hope we haven't come for nothing." The other person was an old man, his clothes exuding an immortal aura, yet he gave off a hypocritical feeling.
"Senior Brother Lin, don't worry! The information our headquarters obtained indicated that the kid activated continuous teleportation arrays directly from Yulin City, with the final destination set here.
We're only about two quarters of an hour behind them. They probably... haven't left the city yet, or perhaps they've already settled down!"
The middle-aged woman with a face full of impurities spoke with a coy, girlish demeanor.
"It better be so. Let's go to the City Lord's mansion first! Have them seal the city!"
The young master with the fan suggested.
The old man and the woman nodded.
The three of them soared into the air and flew towards the City Lord's mansion.
Many people below were startled, pointing and chattering.
"These three are so audacious, daring to fly in Wudu. They're simply courting death!"
"They're probably bumpkins from somewhere. They'll be brought down soon."
"Their direction is the City Lord's mansion, so their status must not be simple."
"What if their status isn't simple? Within Wudu, aside from those in the City Lord's mansion and the city guard, who dares to fly? Aren't they riding on our heads?"
Someone in the crowd roared angrily. These were people with very ordinary cultivation, but they had grown up in this so-called Wudu for generations.
Purely locals, they acted high and mighty.
"Heh... they are riding on your heads, and nothing happens. If you have the guts, go up and beat them!"
The three of them streaked across the sky, quickly disappearing towards the City Lord's mansion.
The local citizens below fumed for a while before dispersing.
Chu Tian, below, listened to the murmurs of the crowd and felt a sense of unease.
The people here were very xenophobic.
