“Can’t afford the Teleportation Array?”
Jiang Yi glanced at Song Zhong suspiciously and said, “Is it very expensive to take the Teleportation Array?”
“It’s more than expensive; it’s unacceptably exorbitant!”
Song Zhong smiled bitterly and sent a voice transmission: “If with the command token jointly issued by the Nine Thearch Clans, perhaps, ordinary Clan Heads could afford it. The Nine Thearch Clans’ command token allows for a 50% discount in many regions, 10%, or free even. Their command token is very precious. For example, in our Heaven State Region, only the Region Lord is entitled to one. Without the Nine Thearch Clans’ command token, but with the command token issued by the Region Lord, it is slightly better. One only needs half of the celestial stones specified on the price. However, we don’t have any command token. We can’t even be transported out of the Heaven State Region with My Lady’s command tokens.”
Jiang Yi was so confused by his words. He got a bit impatient and sent a voice transmission: “All rubbish, get to the point! How many celestial stones do you need for one transmission?”
“En, en.”
Song Zhong quickly replied. “In the Heaven State Region, it should be at least 100,000 celestial stones!”
Jiang Yi lifted his brows and didn’t take it seriously. One hundred thousand celestial stones were nothing to him. Before he came here, Qian Wanguan gave him 10 billion celestial stones.
Song Zhong saw that Jiang Yi was not surprised and quickly explained. “My Lord, this doesn’t just transport people to any city, but only to the nearby cities. Then, one is transported to the destinations, city by city. From this place to the Heaven State Region, I think at least 1,000 transfers are needed. Of course… if we have the command token, transmission across a long distance is possible.”
“One thousand times?”
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes, wasn’t that too much trouble? However, he was not concerned. Despite the expensive price, it was within the acceptable range. Even if it required a few billion celestial stones, he wouldn’t even blink his eyes. After all, his one painting was sold for 100 billion celestial stones.
“Alright, I will help you to the end. As I will go to the north anyway, I will transport you to the Heaven State Region on my way.”
Jiang Yi waved his hands. He was going to the Buddha Thearch City and had to cross the Heaven State Region. Since it cost the same to transport one person or a group of people, he might as well bring them with him.
“Many thanks, My Lord!”
Song Zhong was overjoyed. Since Jiang Yi had made the promise, he was not short of celestial stones. At the same time, Song Zhong felt a bit ashamed. He needed Jiang Yi’s protection along the way and counted on Jiang Yi’s celestial stones for Teleportation Array right now. He took great advantage of Jiang Yi.
As they spoke, it was getting darker. They reached the small town. After Song Zhong handed in a few celestial stones at the gate, they walked in.
There weren’t a lot of people in the small town. At one glance, most of them were ordinary citizens. Of course, there were many martial artists and some Heaven Monarchs, too. Song Zhong took the group to the best inn. Their chariot went into the backyard, and all the guards stayed in the guest rooms in the front. Jiang Yi, Tantai Shi, and the others stayed in a separate courtyard.
Jiang Yi already detected that the strongest martial experts in this town were just mid-tier Heaven Monarchs, which didn’t constitute any danger. With Song Zhong and the other guards, he wasn’t bothered to care anymore. He straight into the room and fell asleep.
Once the day broke, Song Zhong asked people to send in breakfast. Then, they left the town for Wolf Fang City. However, they kept a low profile and didn’t take the chariots. Instead, they bought two horse-drawn carriages.
“Stop, search!”
When they entered the city gate, a small incident happened. A group of soldiers was doing the routine search, and a small commander was enchanted at Tantai Shi. Luckily, Jiang Yi released a trace of aura. Otherwise, this commander might take actions right away.
Jiang Yi let out the peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm absolute expert’s aura. Naturally, this small commander dared not to provoke them. After all, even if he got killed, the Wolf Fang City wouldn’t offend such a powerful martial expert for his sake.
The group entered the city successfully. Jiang Yi didn’t want to cause any trouble and asked Song Zhong to go straight to the city plaza. He was going to transport everyone away.
Song Zhong already sent a voice transmission to Tantai Shi and told her about Jiang Yi’s plan of transporting them to Heaven State Region. Tantai Shi knew how to conduct herself very well. She gave all her tens of millions of celestial stones to Song Zhong and told him to use her money first.
When Song Zhong arrived in the city plaza, he spoke to the guards next to the Teleportation Array immediately. He handed in the celestial stones before reporting in a whisper. “Lord Xue, My Lady, the Teleportation Array is ready.”
They got off the carriage. Tantai Shi was covered by a black veil. There was no way to see her face clearly, but her sexy body attracted a lot of attention as well. Jiang Yi, Song Zhong, and the others had pretty strong auras. Otherwise, some people might have evil thoughts.
After going into the Teleportation Array, Song Zhong looked at a commander next to the array, who waved his hand and said, “Turn on the Teleportation Array!”
Buzz!
Dozens of Heaven Monarchs shot out essence forces and turned on the Teleportation Array at the same time. Light shone, and space surrounding Jiang Yi kept oscillating. A beam of light rose to the sky, the teleportation began.
“This isn’t right!”
At this moment, Jiang Yi changed his expression. The Teleportation Array here was different from the one in Sin Island. Not only space but also his soul spirit fluctuated as well. It was no big deal for his soul spirit to tremble, but he realized that his Mirage Divine Ability was automatically removed, too.
In other words—during the teleportation, he would return to his original look, same for his soul spirit aura.
Buzz!
The Teleportation Array glowed with glaring white light. Jiang Yi and the others disappeared in the formation. The space oscillation caused by the transmission caused Jiang Yi to feel dizzy for a while.
When Jiang Yi felt his two legs stepping on the ground, he changed his soul spirit aura instantly. However, he didn’t dare to alter his appearance via Mirage Divine Ability. He put his head down instead.
What frightened Jiang Yi happened. After they were just teleported, a few divine senses immediately swept across them. After a few rounds of searching, all the divine senses stopped at Tantai Shi.
Jiang Yi let out a deep breath in relief and secretly changed his appearance slightly by Mirage Divine Ability. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to people around him: “Go out of the city plaza, don’t teleport first, and don’t look at me!”
Song Zhong and his group didn’t dare to disobey him and walked out of the Teleportation Array to the city plaza obediently. The two children who were held by maidservants were a bit lightheaded after the teleportation and recovered after a while. Xiao Yu glanced at Jiang Yi and cried out in surprise, “Uncle, why did you become so handsome?”
Tantai Shi didn’t risk looking at Jiang Yi just now; she subconsciously took a glance at him. She was surprised to find that Jiang Yi turned from a black, muscular man to a handsome young man.
Jiang Yi was very nervous to find that many people were looking at him. Two commanders revealed a cold look, but he smiled, pinched Xiao Yu’s face, and said, “Hey, Xiao Yu, Uncle took a bath last night. My face is not dirty now, so naturally, I become more handsome!”
Tantai Shi turned her eyes and said in a smile, “Xiao Yu, let’s buy some pretty clothes for Uncle later and make him more handsome!”
Jiang Yi was slightly relieved when seeing the vigilant look faded among the guards nearby. Tantai Shi gave the order. “Let’s go, find a place first. I’m hungry.”
They left quickly. Jiang Yi’s back was drenched in cold sweat. Luckily, it was a small town, and nobody recognized him. If he was transported to a big city, and members of big clans who had his information happened to be present, his identity would be exposed immediately.
On his way, his mind was filled with doubt and surprise. Why was the Teleportation Array on the East Imperial Continent like this? It was even able to oscillate one’s soul spirit. If all the Teleportation Arrays were like this, then he couldn’t take the Teleportation Array anymore and had no choice but to fly back to the Buddha Thearch City.
