“Chen Shao, what's wrong?” Zhuo Qingfeng asked with confusion, following Qin Chen's gaze, but there was nothing there, just emptiness.
“It's nothing.”
Qin Chen shook his head, and then the teleportation array activated, and the three of them disappeared into it.
“It’s my turn.”
The next martial artist stepped forward, but before he could enter the teleportation array, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, stepping into the teleportation array ahead of him.
“Stop! Do you know you cut in line?”
That martial artist was furious and shouted loudly.
Damn, how dare someone cut in front of him? Seeking death?
“Hmm?”
The figure turned around, wearing a mask. Under the mask, two sharp blades seemed to shoot out from his eyes, and a terrifying aura instantly pierced into the martial artist's heart.
Boom!
The martial artist felt like he was at the center of a storm, his body seemed to be on the verge of falling apart.
“Senior, please go ahead.”
He hurriedly said, trembling. The other party's glance seemed capable of killing him. This was a Martial Emperor, absolutely a Martial Emperor-level expert. How dare he insult a Martial Emperor?
Fortunately, that Martial Emperor ignored him, merely glancing coldly before disappearing into the teleportation array.
The martial artist’s legs went weak, nearly collapsing to the ground, only then realizing that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Inside the teleportation array, Qin Chen and the others felt a dizziness in their minds, a heavy sensation filling their bodies, making them feel as if they were in a void. They didn’t know how long it had passed until their vision brightened, and the three of them appeared in a vast hall.
“Have we arrived?”
Nangong Li looked around with wide eyes. This was his first time using a teleportation array, and the sensation of weightlessness made him very curious.
“This is the teleportation center outside Canglan Valley. Canglan Valley is also a royal-level force in the Northern Sky Domain, and it is one of our transfer stations for this trip,” Zhuo Qingfeng said with a smile.
Among the various royal-level forces in the Northern Sky Domain, the teleportation arrays were mostly small-scale ones, and the distance covered by small-scale teleportation arrays was never too far. Therefore, they needed to teleport five times from the Demon Sword Sect to the Alchemy City, passing through several royal-level forces to reach their destination.
“Canglan Valley, a royal-level force? How does it compare to the Demon Sword Sect? Who is stronger and who is weaker?” Nangong Li asked curiously.
Zhuo Qingfeng quickly shushed him, his expression serious. “President Nangong, you must never ask such questions in the future. Otherwise, it’s easy to anger these royal-level forces.”
Nangong Li was taken aback, suddenly enlightened.
The competition between royal-level forces was extremely fierce. If Zhuo Qingfeng said the Demon Sword Sect was stronger, it would provoke dissatisfaction from the people of Canglan Valley. Conversely, if he said Canglan Valley was stronger, it would unknowingly offend the Demon Sword Sect.
Thus, for ordinary people, casually discussing royal-level forces was absolutely taboo.
“This is just a teleportation center outside Canglan Valley. Our next stop is Tianyu City. Before that, we must go to the center teleportation array of Canglan Valley to be able to teleport to Tianyu City.”
“The teleportation array of Canglan Valley isn’t here?” Nangong Li exclaimed.
He thought that once they arrived here, they would be able to teleport away directly.
“Of course it’s not here,” Zhuo Qingfeng laughed.
“Why is that?” Nangong Li was shocked.
They were all teleportation arrays, so why separate the two places? Wouldn’t it be more convenient to take a new teleportation array directly at the next destination?
Zhuo Qingfeng smiled, “Actually, this question is quite simple. Would you build a teleportation array in the core area of your own force? If the Demon Sword Sect and Canglan Valley were hostile forces, any expert from the Demon Sword Sect could just use the teleportation array to enter the core area of Canglan Valley. Do you think that would be safe?”
