I sell demon meat in the city

Chapter 227 Ancient Teleportation Array
Xiao Qi successfully launched a sneak attack and immediately fled.

Yuanzhen's grandmaster had used almost ninety percent of his spiritual power in that palm strike, so it was impossible for him to strike again now.

Lu Xiaowu flashed forward, swung the Cloud-Piercing Sword, and with a soft "poof," the fox demon didn't even have time to let out a wail before its head was severed.

The scene fell silent. Everyone stared blankly as the white-robed youth skillfully dug out the demon core after beheading the fox demon, then carefully collected the fox demon's corpse, which had revealed its true form. He meticulously wiped away the spurting blood, filled in the large crater the fox demon had created, and restored the area to its original state as much as possible. Then he cast a cleansing spell on himself.

Everyone:.
"Senior brother, are you done?"

The dazzling ball of seven-colored light returned, breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the situation, and then asked happily, "How was it? Was my strike powerful?"

The young man in white smiled and patted her head. "You did a great job. If it weren't for your strike, I wouldn't have been able to kill it so easily."

Yuan Zhen couldn't help but mentally rant, "Where did you get the courage to attack a Nascent Soul cultivator when you're just a Golden Core cultivator?"
And then there's Lu Xingyun. Well, he's always been bold, and he's already at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, so it's not unreasonable for him to ambush an injured Nascent Soul cultivator.

After praising Xiao Qi, Lu Xiaowu led her to the front of Master Yuanzhen, bowed respectfully, and then presented the demon core, saying, "Daojun, this is the demon core of a fox demon."

Grandmaster Yuanzhen smiled and looked the two of them over. He then said to Lu Xiaowu, "You keep it. I don't need it."

Without saying a word, Lu Xiaowu immediately put it away, which made Yuan Zhen's eye twitch. Couldn't you have been a little more polite?

At this moment, Yuan Ren followed a middle-aged man out of a hidden cave.

"Sect Master Qin."

Lu Xiaowu bowed respectfully. He had met this sect leader once before when he saved Yuan Zhen and his junior brother. The sect leader had given him a lot of spiritual fruit wine in return.

Although the Sanqing Palace sect is not large, it is actually quite wealthy.

Yuan Ren dismissed the disciples from the sect who had come to check on the situation, and together with his master, he repaired the formation in the secret place that had been destroyed by the fox demon.

Then he led Lu Xiaowu and Meng Qi into the center of the secret realm, where a secret passage containing an ancient teleportation array was hidden.

"Nebula, you can see it now, can't you? This secret passage has been untouched for a long time."

Sect Master Qin already knew that monsters were invading the modern world, so his words had no other meaning than to explain and, incidentally, clear his name of the Sanqing Palace.

"That bastard Qin Yuanheng, if I had known earlier that he was colluding with the demon race, I would have killed him."

Xiao Qi secretly rolled her eyes. Anyone can say something like that after the fact.
Why does she feel that this sect leader is far inferior to the old sect leader?
This difference doesn't simply refer to his cultivation level, but rather to his manner of speaking and handling affairs, which makes him seem petty and lacking in magnanimity.

Since Fifth Senior Brother and he visited Sanqing Palace so politely time and time again, and got along well with Senior Brothers Yuanzhen and Yuanren, it meant that he didn't doubt them. At least Fifth Senior Brother had a fundamental trust in Sanqing Palace.

Although they initially intended to pressure them with the Jade Void Sect, it was merely to get Sect Master Qin to cooperate and explain the teleportation array here to them.

"Sect Master Qin, I'm telling you the truth, and I hope you don't take it personally. No matter how the demon race got there, Qin Yuanheng is definitely involved. With him involved, do you think the Sanqing Palace can escape responsibility?"

Since things had come to this point, Lu Xiaowu didn't mince words and went straight to the point. "Qin Yuanheng is one of your people, he came here for you in the first place, and you even gave him a longevity pill. Do you think you can just dismiss what he did?"
Sect Master Qin's expression changed, and he stopped and turned to look at Lu Xiaowu.

"However, Sect Master Qin, this matter has both advantages and disadvantages. Even though Qin Yuanheng's collusion with the demon race has implicated you, if I'm not mistaken, the fox demon, a confidante of the Demon Queen, came here today intending to kill you first and then wipe out the entire Sanqing Palace, is that right?"

Sect Leader Qin looked at him without saying a word, but Lu Xiaowu knew he had guessed correctly.

"But what they didn't expect was that the old sect leader was still alive and hiding in a secret place. So this time they tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead. Do you think the Demon King will send someone over again?"

Sect Leader Qin listened with trepidation, and couldn't help but ask, "What you've described are all disadvantages, but what about the advantages?"

"You know where my master is, right?"

Sect Master Qin nodded. "I heard from Yuan Ren that Daoist Qingluan went there by mistake. What? Doesn't she want to come back?"

"I won't be going back for now."

Lu Xiaowu didn't mention that his master didn't want to go back, but instead continued to paint a rosy picture for Sect Master Qin, "My master is still very interested in that area, so if your teleportation array is convenient to use, you won't be treated unfairly when we go there or when my master returns."

Most importantly, the Jade Void Sect will definitely establish a friendly relationship with the Three Pure Palace in the future; in short, they will protect him.

However, Lu Xiaowu did not say this explicitly, but he believed that Sect Master Qin would understand.

Sure enough, after hearing these words, Sect Master Qin automatically ignored the drawbacks mentioned above. After all, what could be more important than climbing up to a major sect as a backer?

He turned around with a smile and led his two fellow disciples further inside. Without Lu Xiaowu and Xiao Qi even asking, he automatically introduced the ancient teleportation array, "Xingyun, to tell you the truth, I don't know exactly where in which world this teleportation array will take you. But I know that as long as this teleportation array is not destroyed, it will definitely be able to send people out, regardless of whether the array on the other side is still there or not, you can arrive smoothly."

Can you do this?

Now Lu Xiaowu was genuinely curious. "What kind of teleportation array is this? I've never heard of it before."

Sect Master Qin paused for a moment. To be honest, if he weren't the sect master, he wouldn't have heard about this either.

“Some incredibly powerful teleportation arrays in ancient times worked like this: once a region was identified and set up here, the other side could reach it even if no one else set up one. However, these teleportation arrays have been lost to time, and you probably won’t find them anywhere else except here.”

Sect Master Qin spoke with a hint of pride. In fact, thousands of years ago, their sect was very large. There was once a branch of their Sanqing Palace in the Wansheng Valley of the Demon Realm. Later, the environment changed, and the spiritual energy there was not as rich as here. In addition, due to the war with the demon race, it was gradually abandoned and later simply handed over to the demon race.

What he didn't expect was that if the branch was gone, why didn't they destroy the teleportation array?
As for why a teleportation array could be so large as to cover the entire valley, he didn't know.

"Sect Leader Qin, what's the difference between yours and the one in Ten Thousand Saints Valley? I heard that the other one was also an ancient teleportation array, but after the other teleportation array was destroyed, it's said that it can't be used anymore. Why is that?"

why?
How would I know why?

Just as they emerged from the secret passage, Sect Leader Qin changed the subject, saying, "We've arrived. Let me show you this teleportation array in detail."
