Chapter 2231 - 2232: Teleportation
"The formation has been completed, you may enter now."Even a formation constructed from a distance like this makes even an elder feel a wave of fatigue. He descended from the air and steadied himself on the ground.
With a flick of his hand, a fragrant cup of tea appeared, and he began to sip it slowly.
By now, his task could be considered finished, so he appeared extremely relaxed.
"Pan Su, you're doing quite well."
Just as he was relaxing, Chen Lin slowly walked over from a distance. When he got by his side, Chen Lin remarked calmly.
"What brings you here? To see your precious daughter? But I'm afraid they've already gone in."
Pan Su didn't even look up, responding indifferently. The two had never been on the same page, and the previous confrontation in the main hall had made their relationship even colder.
"No, I'm actually here specifically for you." To Pan Su's surprise, Chen Lin looked at him with a cold smile.
"Hmm?"
Pan Su paused with his teacup in mid-air, finally lifting his head, his face flushed with a hint of suspicion.
"Come with me, the Sect Master is waiting in the hall."
Chen Lin folded his hands, his eyes carrying a scrutinizing look, as if he was inspecting a suspect rather than a fellow elder with the same rank.
"What happened?" Pan Su felt a pang in his heart; Chen Lin's words made him uneasy.
"You'll know when you get there." Chen Lin responded indifferently.
Only then did Pan Su put down his teacup, secretly speculating in his heart while following Chen Lin out with deliberate steps.
...
"Let's go."
In the magical realm, Lin Chen took a deep breath, gazing at the formation light screen as smooth as jade. He took a deep breath and, without saying more, exchanged a glance with Chen Jie, then walked solemnly onto the formation.
Tao Yuyu and others moved with them, following Lin Chen and the others at a steady pace, neither hurried nor slow.
This scene made the surrounding onlookers pause, causing those initially moving forward to halt slightly.
Among these people, some were strong, but there was no force like the Azure Dragon Society in the Green Ripple Sect, and those vengeful members present didn't wish to provoke them unless absolutely unavoidable.
However, exceptions existed.
Such as the mysterious figure who previously caught Lin Chen's attention from outside.
It was someone cloaked entirely in black robes. The robe appeared loose on his body, disguising his true physique and leaving observers unable to determine if he was fat or skinny.
Unlike those who had stopped, this person moved when Lin Chen took action, walking parallel to Lin Chen and his group and moving alongside them toward the formation.
"Who is this person?"
Tao Yuyu furrowed his brows but didn't think much more. The mysterious figure's strength seemed only to be at the eighth Spirit Pill stage, while Tao Yuyu was at the peak, just a step from the Spirit Embryo stage, a gap hard to bridge.
Despite his curiosity, Tao Yuyu didn't feel fear.
"Be careful later."
Lin Chen warned the two beside him gravely. He could see Tao Yuyu's intention to follow them into the realm and eliminate him quickly.
"Hmm." The two nodded solemnly.
While they spoke, they neared the teleportation array. Just as they reached the vicinity, a force seemed to draw Lin Chen and the others closer.
The azure light cast a terrifying hue over their faces. At Lin Chen's nod, their figures stepped into the array.
As they vanished within, the black-robed figure followed closely, and lastly, it was Tao Yuyu's turn.
Upon entering, Lin Chen's vision went dark briefly before a glimmer of light reappeared.
Having experienced such transitions multiple times, it didn't seem unfamiliar or shocking to him.
The scene before him emerged after just a few dozen breaths.
"This is..."
Seeing the scene, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed. This was a scene he had seen before, almost identical to the palace in the original cave depths.
"How could it be here?!"
Not only Lin Chen but also Sun Tianming gaped in surprise at the palace before them; its appearance and structure matched what they had seen before!
Sun Tianming's steps faltered, his legs recalling the pain he'd previously felt.
"No, there's something different here."
Chen Jie spoke up. Unlike Sun Tianming, who was shocked, she carefully assessed the surroundings. Although the palace appeared the same, it was built not of the original black rock but of redwood.
The light here wasn't as dim as in the cave below, much brighter.
"It does seem so."
Listening to Chen Jie, Sun Tianming calmed down, still showing lingering fear but improving over before.
"Are we still in the Wood Spirit Realm?"
Lin Chen frowned and asked.
"Judging by this, we likely are." Chen Jie said.
"Then it's strange why two similar palaces would appear here in the realm. What's the connection between the two?"
Lin Chen frowned, feeling a bizarre sense in every part of this tournament.
"This... I can't say." Chen Jie shook her head.
While they conversed, other figures arrived. After Tao Yuyu and his party appeared, they gave the distant palace a mere glance, then shifted their focus to Lin Chen and his party.
"Heh, let's see where you run now." Tao Yuyu muttered, stepping towards Lin Chen.
However, after just three or four steps, he suddenly stopped. From deep below, flames seemed to erupt. The fire touched Tao Yuyu's toe and burnt through it in an instant!
