Qingxi was already waiting by the teleportation array, holding two teleportation jade tokens, which were essentially teleportation tickets. The array was about to open, but Long Chen had not yet appeared.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, eight pillars of light lit up on the teleportation array. Qingxi panicked, but just then, the void trembled and Long Chen's figure appeared.
"Here."
When Long Chen appeared, Qingxi was overjoyed and hurriedly tossed a jade token to him. Long Chen took it, and the two of them stepped into the teleportation array.
"Buzz!"
As soon as the two stepped into the teleportation array, it immediately activated. As the void trembled, everyone inside vanished.
At this moment, chaos erupted inside Yingzhou City. Countless powerful figures rushed out, rushing to the teleportation array at the first opportunity.
"He's from Longteng Trading Company." Someone exclaimed, recognizing the identities of those people.
"Where is this teleportation array headed?" An eight-veined Human Emperor roared angrily.
However, the expert guarding the teleportation array glanced at the old man but said nothing.
"Are you mute?" Seeing that the person guarding the teleportation array remained silent, the elder of Longteng Trading Company immediately flew into a rage.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stepped forward. Although he only had Heavenly Saint level cultivation, he showed no fear when facing the Eight-Vein Human Emperor:
"President Zhao, you must remember one thing: your Longteng Trading Company does business in Yingzhou, but Yingzhou City is not your family's.
We belong to the City Lord's Mansion, not the family supported by your Longteng Trading Company, and we've never eaten a single meal from your Longteng Trading Company.
So, when talking to us, please be polite. Otherwise, if I want to answer, I'll answer; if not, I won't! "
You... Fine, so you're in cahoots with that kid. How dare you steal from the Longteng Trading Company's treasury? You sure have some nerve. "That old man is the president of Longteng Trading Company. At this moment, he was so angry he felt like his lungs would explode."
"What?"
"The treasury of Longteng Trading Company was stolen?"
Upon hearing this, all the powerful figures present were shocked. Longteng Trading Company was so powerful that the treasury had actually been robbed. This news was shocking—if it hadn't come from Chairman Zhao, no one would have dared to believe it.
The man was also startled; he hadn't expected such a big incident to happen. However, he was still tough and sneered, "
President Zhao, you're at least a respectable figure. It's best not to do such bloody slander."
Although I am just a lowly guard, I belong to the City Lord's Mansion. If you smear the City Lord's Mansion, you better consider the consequences first. President
Zhao was so angry he gritted his teeth. Although Longteng Trading Company was wealthy, doing business here couldn't go head-to-head with the City Lord's Mansion.
He could tell that this guard probably had nothing to do with this matter; otherwise, he wouldn't dare treat him like this. Gritting his teeth, he said,
"Let me ask, where did that guy who just came out teleport to?"
"We went to Yun River Valley." At this moment, the man also decided to quit while he was ahead and responded.
Hearing the word 'Cloud River Valley,' President Zhao's heart sank sharply. This was ultra-long-distance teleportation; after one teleportation, the array needed ten days to charge.
Even if you charge quickly at all costs, it would take at least three days at most for the next teleportation. In three days, the daylilies are already cold.
"Bastard! If you dare steal from Longteng Trading Company, I'll make you pay back a thousandfold or hundredfold." Chairman Zhao gritted his teeth and finally had no choice but to utter a harsh remark. Under the astonished gazes of countless people, he left with his men.
The news that Longteng Trading Company had been robbed by a man in black spread like a deep-water bomb, spreading rapidly—a shocking piece of news.
...
"Buzz"
After teleporting for a full half hour, suddenly the space before them trembled, and Qingxi and Long Chen appeared inside a ruined city.
This was Yunhe Valley. Upon arrival, Qingxi sped away with Long Chen, and after about three more days, they crossed a desert and arrived at a small town. Using the town's teleportation array, they teleported again.
Just like that, he teleported once, traveling on foot for a while, over and over. After half a month, Long Chen couldn't even remember how far he had traveled.
While speeding along, Long Chen took out the map given by Huayun Trading Company to verify it. He found the map extremely detailed, and the scenes he saw along the way basically matched perfectly.
The map in Long Chen's hand was the map of the Tianyuan World. The map was very strange, with a standard semicircle in the center, resembling a sphere, sliced in the middle.
On the edge of the semicircle, a gray area was outlined with black dashed lines—this gray area was the Great Wilderness.
The Tianyuan World is surrounded by the Great Wilderness. The Great Wilderness looks like an outer ring, but everyone inside the Tianyuan World knows that this Great Wilderness is a region that can never be set foot against.
If it were the world where the First Branch was located, it would be a prison, and the Tianyuan World would be an even bigger prison.
But Long Chen didn't know what the half that had been cut off was. At the time, Long Chen had asked Li Shuangwen, but he apologized and said there were some things he couldn't disclose.
Moreover, there were many special marks on the map that Long Chen couldn't understand. In Li Shuangwen's words, some of the markers on the map required permission to know.
At that moment, Long Chen understood that, to put it bluntly, he was not Li Shuangjiang's business partner. He couldn't reveal the secret of this map, and perhaps only Zheng Wenlong could tell him.
However, Long Chen wasn't in a hurry. Judging from the map, the route he had taken in the past half month was less than one percent.
Following the route Qingxi had taken with him, Long Chen saw a stretch of blue water inside. The symbols drawn here were incomprehensible. If he guessed correctly, this should be the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
The two sprinted all the way, and Qingxi didn't dare pause for a moment. Long Chen couldn't help but laugh at her, wondering why it felt like a wolf was chasing her. Long Chen told her the enemy definitely couldn't catch up to them.
Even so, Qingxi still felt uneasy, as if she didn't feel at ease even before visiting the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
"Senior Brother Long Chen, please don't laugh at me. In just two days, we'll be at the territory of the Wind God Sea Pavilion. By then, we can rest our feet." Qingxi said a little embarrassedly.
After two days of speeding ahead, Long Chen suddenly noticed that the surrounding space seemed to freeze for an instant. The wind that had been flowing through heaven and earth had actually vanished.
When Qingxi arrived here, her face immediately relaxed. It seemed this was already the territory of the Wind God Sea Pavilion.
"This is the boundaries of the Wind God Sea Pavilion. If we run forward for another seven days, we'll reach Wind God Island."
On Wind God Island stands the treasured array pavilion of the Wind God Sea Pavilion—the Wind-Fixing Pearl. It gathers all the wind power of this world together for us to cultivate. Qingxi explained.
Collect all the wind power of a world? Long Chen was startled. So what level of existence is this Wind-Fixing Pearl?
We've arrived hereQingxi changed into a light blue outfit, with a pagoda painted on the chest, collar, and cuffs in silver thread. With this outfit, Qingxi's aura instantly became much more spirited.
"Even the clothes are inscribed with formations?" This is incredible! Long Chen was slightly surprised. Qingxi was only an outer disciple of the Wind God Sea Pavilion, and their clothes were all enhanced by formations. That was impressive, indicating that the quality of her clothes was definitely extraordinary.
Wearing this kind of clothing is like an auxiliary cultivation tool. The Wind God Sea Pavilion's craftsmanship is truly remarkable.
"Buzz"
Qingxi had just changed into the outer disciple clothes of the Wind God Sea Pavilion when several figures appeared in the distance. Upon seeing them, Qingxi's expression changed slightly, and she was about to quickly pull Long Chen away.
Unexpectedly, those people also spotted Qingxi and immediately rushed toward them.
