The destination was not far from Beijing.
Just as Wen Yu raised the question of "Why not use the teleportation array," the vehicle came to a stop.
"We've arrived, get out."
As the celestial god spoke, he was the first to exit the vehicle, with Wen Yu closely following behind. When he pushed open the car door and stood on the ground, he realized that this place was not the target location at all; it was clearly just an ordinary abandoned farm outside Beijing...
A sudden wave of doubt surged in his heart, followed by an unprecedented sense of tension. At that moment, Wen Yu even entertained the thought of "Have I already exposed myself?"
If it were the old Wen Yu with his short temper, he would have acted rashly and taken the initiative. Fortunately, ever since he gained spiritual perception, Wen Yu had been in a state of heightened intelligence.
The vague premonition within him made Wen Yu not impulsively act out, but instead left him feeling completely bewildered.
"This place is..."
"Suburbs of Beijing."
Bai's clone simply replied, then extended his right hand. A radiant glow erupted from his hand, and in a short time, a seal made of runes coalesced.
At this point, Bai spoke to everyone.
"Fran and his group are hiding in Treasure Land No. 8564. The guardian of this treasure land is No. 8. Over four thousand years ago, Fran and the others entered this treasure land, and then No. 8 used his authority to permanently close this treasure land."
"This turned this treasure land into a subspace that only existed in the archives, and it has neither entrance nor exit."
"However... no matter how vast the world is, they will never escape our grasp. Although Treasure Land No. 8564 is closed by No. 8, as the guardian of Treasure Land No. 1, with the sovereign absent, all treasure lands fall under my management."
"I can open the entrance to Treasure Land No. 8564 at any time and any place, catching them like fish in a barrel!"
Bai spoke confidently, and the reality was not much different from what he claimed...
With the sovereign absent, everything belonging to the sovereign was mostly under Bai's control. Of course, he couldn't dispatch guardians of treasure lands, but in terms of authority, he indeed held the highest position.
It was just unfortunate for Fran and the others...
They thought hiding in the treasure land would ensure their safety, but no one expected things to develop into what they were now.
"Now, let's get ready."
Bai commanded, and the celestial god along with six heaven's chosen level soul puppets drew their weapons. Tang Haofei merely stood silently next to Bai, both to protect and to maintain order.
At this point, Wen Yu was left standing there, completely dumbfounded and at a loss.
Until the celestial god couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Wen Yu next to him, whispering.
"Follow me soon; just kill anyone you see! As long as Wen Yu does not appear, this is just a simple slaughter."
"Oh oh oh..."
Wen Yu hurriedly nodded. In just a few seconds, the seal in Bai's hand began to float in midair. As it spun wildly, pale blue spatial ripples began to churn.
Bai quietly chanted an incantation, and after a moment, with the seal shining brightly, there was a ripping sound, and the space in front of everyone was suddenly torn open!
"Who?!"
A sudden roar echoed from the rift. Upon hearing this, Bai simply sneered, and with just a look, a heaven's chosen level soul puppet immediately extended its hand. Accompanied by a swirling black mist, the mist quickly transformed into a substantial hand that reached toward the space rift!
"Damn!"
The voice from within the rift immediately changed tone. With a clattering sound, moments later, when the heaven's chosen level soul puppet withdrew its hand, Guardian No. 8, covered in blood, was dragged from within the treasure land into view.
"Bai! You..."
"Bang!"
What welcomed No. 8 was merely Bai's size 43 foot.
With a thunderous sound, No. 8's body exploded on the spot, while Bai coldly looked at the bloody mess beneath his feet, muttering.
