Chapter 1640: Chapter 1330: Zhan Mo Leaves the Land of Chaos
Upon hearing Min Guanghua’s question, Zhan Mo smiled and said, “Initially, I did not plan to inform all of you.”
“However, to leave the Land of Chaos in the shortest time, I must activate a long-distance teleportation array.”
“This teleportation array requires a massive amount of Immortal Aura. Although I can use it alone, after utilizing it, I will enter a period of weakness. If that happens when I arrive at the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, finding King Anyuan immediately will be impossible.”
“If you all could help me activate the teleportation array, I could preserve my strength upon reaching the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, making it easier to find King Anyuan then.”
Min Guanghua said, “Must we use the teleportation array? The Tianxia Immortal Dynasty shouldn’t be far from the Land of Chaos, right?”
Zhan Mo said, “Over the years, White Feather City has been monitoring closely. Each of our cities is infiltrated by their spies. If I head directly to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, I might be discovered. With my speed, I fear I’d be caught by the person behind White Feather City before leaving the Land of Chaos.”
The hall fell into deep thought, and then Min Guanghua asked, “Aren’t you afraid someone here might betray you and inform White Feather City?”
Zhan Mo laughed and replied, “You all just need to swear a Blood Oath.”
Min Guanghua frowned, wanting to say something, but Zhan Mo calmly stated, “Since I invited all of you here, naturally, I have prepared.”
Min Guanghua immediately understood the implication behind Zhan Mo’s words, realizing that failing to swear a Blood Oath might mean not leaving Zhan Mo’s Ancient Spirit City.
Although Zhan Mo’s strength as a Heavenly Immortal is limited, the city boasts a powerful formation, and undoubtedly, someone has already sided with Zhan Mo here.
At that time, the coalition and the formation would make eliminating threats rather easy.
After Zhan Mo finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone glanced around, unable to determine if anyone had already teamed up with Zhan Mo.
After a while, a City Lord said, “I’ve long disliked White Feather City. If things are as City Lord Zhan said, I’m willing to lend a hand.”
“I, Wang Huai, vow here not to reveal today’s matters, or else I’ll die, with my Divine Soul extinguished!”
Once the first person spoke, other City Lords quickly followed with their Blood Oaths, leaving only Gao Hongbo and Min Guanghua yet to swear.
Gao Hongbo thought for a moment and ultimately decided to side with Zhan Mo, having long wished to escape White Feather City’s control.
Initially, he joined forces with the Land of Chaos’ city lords to attack White Feather City. After their defeat, though accepted as surrendered, he faced numerous constraints, and Shiyang City, once a significant city, was fragmented.
Due to the defeat, his city was split into smaller ones, and White Feather City supported certain families in his city, greatly weakening Shiyang City’s strength.
If this continues, Shiyang City would eventually be completely under White Feather City’s control, ending his tenure as City Lord.
With a chance now to break free from White Feather City, naturally, he wanted to seize it.
Then Gao Hongbo swore, saying, “I, Gao Hongbo, once again swear not to reveal today’s matters in the slightest, or else I’ll die, with my Divine Soul extinguished.”
After Gao Hongbo swore his Blood Oath, only Min Guanghua remained, and everyone turned their gaze on him.
Seeing Min Guanghua hesitate to swear, Zhan Mo laughed and said, “City Lord Min, could it be you still harbor some hope for White Feather City?”
Min Guanghua calmly responded, “City Lord Zhan, are you certain you’ll return after leaving the Land of Chaos through the teleportation array?”
Upon Min Guanghua’s question, everyone’s gaze shifted to Zhan Mo.
Indeed, under White Feather City’s pressure, some city lords planned to leave the Land of Chaos, only fearing to do so due to the vigilance of the person behind White Feather City.
With Zhan Mo planning to leave, nobody could say for sure if he’d return, or if he truly sought King Anyuan.
If they helped Zhan Mo leave and he never came back, it would waste their Immortal Aura.
While losing Immortal Aura might be minor, what if White Feather City’s master discovered they helped him? What troubles would follow then?
Zhan Mo said, “What are you saying, City Lord Min? I would never not return. I’m merely leaving Ancient Spirit City alone; my family remains.”
Hearing this, Min Guanghua reluctantly vowed, “I, Min Guanghua, hereby swear not to reveal today’s matters, or else I’ll die, with my Divine Soul extinguished.”
Seeing Min Guanghua swear, Zhan Mo stood and said, “Since everyone trusts me, let’s proceed. The sooner I reach the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, the sooner I can report this to King Anyuan.”
With these words, Zhan Mo led the city lords to a valley outside Ancient Spirit City. Amid swirling sands stood tall stone pillars, inscribed with various formation motifs.
Zhan Mo said, “This is the teleportation array leading directly to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty.”
Looking at the teleportation array, everyone felt a bit puzzled; how could such a place devoid of Immortal Aura have a teleportation array?
Seeming to read their minds, Zhan Mo continued, “This teleportation array dates back billions of years; its age requires substantial Immortal Aura to activate.”
Gao Hongbo spoke, “Since City Lord Zhan has decided to go to the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty, let’s begin, so City Lord Zhan may go and return early.”
Upon Gao Hongbo’s words, he immediately channeled Immortal Aura into the teleportation array, soon followed by others channeling Immortal Aura from various positions.
As Zhan Mo claimed, the teleportation array indeed consumed immense Immortal Aura. Even these Heavenly Immortals felt a massive depletion within moments, unimaginable if one were to activate it alone and reach the destination weak.
The next moment, the teleportation array emitted a dazzling light, and a vortex gate appeared in the center of the array platform.
Zhan Mo then said to Gao Hongbo and others, “Thank you all for your help. Once I reach the Tianxia Immortal Dynasty and find King Anyuan, I’ll surely speak favorably of you.”
Finishing his words, Zhan Mo stepped toward the vortex within the teleportation array.
As his figure vanished into the vortex, Gao Hongbo and others ceased channeling Immortal Aura.
Feeling their Immortal Aura mostly depleted, a person laughed curiously, “What level is this teleportation array to consume Immortal Aura like this?”
