Chapter 418: The Ancient Teleportation Formation

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be hasty.” Su Chen chuckled.

“Hmm?” Zhen Nanxing turned around in confusion. “Fellow Daoist Su Chen, anything else?”

“Nothing major…” Su Chen said casually, “I have a question for you. Do you know of any teleportation formations in the East Barrens that lead directly to the Southern Region?”

“Southern Region?” Zhen Nanxing looked at Su Chen, puzzled. But his gaze fell on Long Wu beside Su Chen and he understood, though he did not ask why. Smiling, he said, “That’s easy. There’s a formation in the Shadowless Hall leading directly there. 1 can lend Fellow Daoist Su Chen. However…”

Here, Zhen Nanxing paused and glanced at Long Wu before continuing, “Before you go to the Southern Region, I have a warning. Recently, it’s been unstable there… Moreover, it’s not controlled by humans. If Fellow Daoist Su Chen goes, be very careful! Especially since you just killed a servant of the ancient Long family. 1 fear they won’t let you off.”

In this world, though many races thrived, humans still dominated vast territories, like the East Barrens. But the Southern Region differed – since ancient times, it had been under demon control, humans always declining there. Creatures like Long Wu and ancient races were the true overlords. Humans never controlled the South, for its waters ran too deep. No one could say whether some ancient power might suddenly awake.

“Fellow Daoist’s words, I will remember well. Many thanks in advance, Fellow Daoist.” Su Chen nodded slightly.

Long Wu had already told him of the Long family in secret. In ancient times they were very mighty, but presently, how many experts they retained was unknown.

The Southern Region was an extremely vast, boundless continent, even larger than the East Barrens. Countless creatures inhabited its many mountain ranges. A mighty one scanning the void would discover almost every major range occupied by some powerful race.

The Long family! An ancient royal branch, extremely mighty. Recently, many clansmen had emerged from sealing, occupying billions of territories in the Southern Region immediately.

Within the Long family now, countless powerful auras lurked. Anyone entering their lands would instantly sense them, trembling in fear, not daring any suspicious moves.

Before a cliff, immortal Qi drifted as the sea of clouds churned. A winged, red-haired man stood on the cliff, hands clasped behind his back. His deep blue eyes reflected countless stars, unfathomable.

“Zhang Feng… is dead?” the man muttered softly, tone indifferent as if speaking of an ant’s death.

Yet behind him, a servant bent over, face pale, sweating profusely as if under immense pressure, nearly kneeling. Suppressing his terror, the servant respectfully replied, “To not hide it from Master, I’ve just received news that not long after Zhang Feng left for the East Barrens, he perished…”

“How long has he been dead?” the man asked casually again.

“Around… half a day, I believe,” the servant said heavily.

“What a pity!” the man remarked ambiguously.

Others might not know, but he was very clear. Not long ago, he had sent Zhang Feng to the East Barrens primarily to seek the Longevity Immortal Body. Now, before that was even found, Zhang Feng had perished.

Recalling the trump card he had given Zhang Feng before departure, it was easy for the man to deduce Zhang Feng’s killer was likely a saint king!

He truly could not fathom how a mere Quasi-Saint Realm cultivator like Zhang Feng could provoke such a terrifying saint king.

Could it be… the East Barrens were not actually declined? Was it still like the ancient times, with saint kings and great saints everywhere?

This seemed somewhat inconceivable. He wished to verify it himself but could not get away, for the Long family had only just begun to unseal, some clansmen still sleeping. They were far from recovering their ancient glory.

In ancient times, he would have known the cause of Zhang Feng’s death immediately. But now… he had to send someone to investigate thoroughly.

“Alright, you may leave first.” The man waved dismissively.

Yet when he finished speaking, the servant showed no intention of leaving, hesitating in place.

“Anything else?” The man frowned impatiently.

“Master, recently I received two pieces of news. First, the ancient teleportation formation within the Heavenly Path Sect has activated again,” the servant said in a deep voice.

“Oh?” The man’s brows raised hearing this.

Since awakening from sealing, he knew little of the outside world, let alone somewhere as distant as the East Barrens, though he grasped the Southern Region’s circumstances well enough.

Long ago, the Heavenly Path Sect was under the Shadowless Hall. When the Southern Region prospered, exchanges were frequent between them, the sect gaining much fame there by sending southern prodigies to the Shadowless Hall.

But as time passed, southern prodigies declined, ancient royals sealed themselves, and the Heavenly Path Sect fell into decline. That it survived until now was a miracle.

Yet now, their ancient formation had lit up again, meaning someone from the Shadowless Hall in the distant east had crossed over.

“Is all this a coincidence?” the man muttered, gazing into the distance..
