554: Chapter 552: Teleportation Begins

A few minutes later, the Flying Boat arrived outside the main peak's great hall.

The massive Formation base here was emitting light, and a total of twelve people disappeared amidst the flickering light of the Teleportation Array.

Chu Xuan checked the mission time for the Cangyun invasion; there were still over three hours remaining.

He remained silent, hiding within the hair of that Cangyun Sect Disciple, observing his surroundings.

Those non-Guiyuan Realm Disciples who had been called away earlier, when he was flying around bombing with the white emperor fighter, had gathered again, but there were far fewer of them than before.

The two factions represented by the Man in Green and the woman in palace attire were still standing not far away, clearly distinct from one another.

Chu Xuan noticed that the number of people in the faction represented by the Man in Green remained the same, but there were about twenty fewer people beside the woman in palace attire.

"Have they already been teleported across the border..."

Chu Xuan did not focus his gaze, only taking a hurried glance. There were too many experts here, and to avoid being detected, he did not even use his Eye of Insight casually.

Another group of people stepped onto the Formation base.

Two white-haired Elders of the Cangyun Sect threw out pieces of crystal-clear stones, then cast rays of light resembling incantations.

After about fifteen minutes, the Formation base erupted with intense light once more, and then this group disappeared.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and it was the same.

"The Formation takes about fifteen minutes to activate each time, and from the moment the teleportation light erupts until the people disappear, it takes about five seconds..."

Chu Xuan observed the pattern, making no rash moves.

"Twelve people are teleported each time. Judging by their blood Qi state, posture, and the attitude of the others, it seems only two have reached the Guiyuan Realm. Is this a restriction on the number of people and cultivation level for the teleportation..."

"Now I need to confirm further: after the Formation's teleportation light erupts, can it be interrupted within those five seconds..."

Chu Xuan waited quietly for the next fifteen minutes.

At this moment, an Elder walked toward Chu Xuan's location and said in a deep voice:

"Lin Yuan, why are you staying here? Why don't you go and bring the Martial Artists over to observe the ceremony? Wait another two hours, and we can begin large-scale teleportation."

The Cangyun Sect Disciple who was under Chu Xuan's Enslavement cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Greetings, Elder Yang..."

As he spoke, he said with envy and emotion: "I also hope to be like all the Senior Brothers and head to the Small World as soon as possible to contribute more to the Sect."

Elder Yang said displeasedly: "Since you have not entered the Guiyuan Realm, and your ranking in the Sect competition is too low, who can you blame for falling behind?"

"Elder Yang is right." Lin Yuan remained full of respect, his tone extremely sincere: "The teleportation is about to begin; I ask Elder Yang to allow me to watch for a moment longer, to witness the demeanor of the Senior Brothers."

"Do not neglect your duties." Elder Yang frowned.

Seeing that the other party was going to continue urging him, Chu Xuan, who was hiding on Lin Yuan, immediately changed his original plan. He teleported instantly, leaving his body and landing in the gap between the bluestone bricks of the plaza.

At this moment, the fifteen minutes had passed, and the Formation base erupted with intense light.

"The teleportation has begun. You've seen what there is to see, why not leave quickly?" Elder Yang wanted to say something more.

Lin Yuan's expression changed abruptly. He raised his hand and pointed at the Teleportation Array, shouting in alarm: "Oh no, traitors from the Heavenly Dao Alliance have snuck in! Stop them quickly!"

"What?"

Once these words were spoken, everyone was incredibly shocked, but it was already too late to stop it. As the light faded, the people on the Teleportation Array had already disappeared.

Elder Yang grabbed Lin Yuan's arm and asked in a deep voice: "How did you see that there were traitors from the Heavenly Dao Alliance lurking inside?"

At the same time, several other Elders walked over to ask.

Not only that, but the several white-haired Grand Elders in the sky also cast deep gazes over.

"I recognized the disguise technique of one of them..." Lin Yuan began to make things up, but he spoke as if it were true, his expression extremely serious.

"Grand Elders, why don't you perform a self-check first?"

The Man in Green walked up at this moment and said with a smile: "Counting it up, the Cangyun Sect has already teleported many people over. The Blood Shadow Sect has also sent twenty people ahead of time. Next, it should be the turn of my Zhenwu Sect Disciples, right?"

The second-ranked Grand Elder said, the swelling on its face still not having faded, and said deeply: "The number of Disciples my Cangyun Sect has teleported has not yet reached the previous agreement. Don't be in such a hurry. Wait for the people from the Yujian Sect to come, and then you can go together."

"That is because you fulfilled the agreement with Sect Leader Zhihua and arranged for her to teleport twenty Disciples in advance. By time, it should be my Zhenwu Sect."

The Man in Green continued to smile: "As for the Yujian Sect, according to the previous agreement, when the restrictions are lifted, priority should be given to teleporting Yujian Sect Disciples."

At this moment, the Cangyun Sect Grand Elder in the sky suddenly spoke: "Let the Zhenwu Sect Disciples teleport next."

The Second Elder then said no more.

"Many thanks, Grand Elder." The Man in Green cupped his hands, then pointed out twelve Disciples to step onto the Teleportation Array.

As time passed, Lin Yuan was taken aside for questioning, but although he said a lot, there was no substantial evidence or content, and the people questioning him soon realized something was wrong.

Just then, the fifteen minutes passed, and the light of the Teleportation Array flashed.

However, when five seconds passed, the light did not dissipate, and the twelve people on the Formation base were still there.

"What happened? Did the teleportation fail?"

While the people were still astonished, among the observing factions, several people from the Quick Blade Sect suddenly drew their blades and began killing, while shouting: "Cangyun is dead..."
