"For example, the three pavilion elders teleported here to help exterminate the heinous Li Clan. That's a convenience, a type of benefit. Once a war breaks out, they can use the teleportation formation to rush over as quickly as possible. That's also a benefit.
"Moreover, the teleportation formation consumes a huge amount of resources each time. Ordinary people can't afford to use it at all. Those who can use the formation are either rich or noble, so the Poison Sect naturally won't lose out."
The armored guard walked over from the side, his eyes narrowed as he looked at Xiao Yang with interest. He'd actually arrived at the door long ago, but slowed down after hearing Xiao Yang's explanation. He waited for Xiao Yang to finish before walking out.
"Senior brother."
When Xiao Yang and the others saw the armored guard walking towards them, they once again cupped their fists and greeted him.
The armored guard nodded at them, then looked at Xiao Yang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. "You're Xiao Yang, right?"
Everyone was a little stunned. They didn't understand why the armored guard would specifically ask Xiao Yang this question.
Xiao Yang was equally confused before he replied, "I am."
"As expected, you're extraordinary and knowledgeable. I admire you very much. But the problem is, I can't let you use the teleportation formation, but others can." The armored guard's gaze landed on Gu Qianqian, Lan Jiaoye, Gu Shanhe, and the others. "You can enter the tower and use the teleportation formation to leave this place. Of course, you'll have to pay a certain amount of spirit stones."
They could understand. The Poison Sect had the right to use it, but they had to pay to use it. But what they didn't understand was why Xiao Yang couldn't use the formation.
None of them moved.
Xiao Yang was their spiritual leader. Since someone was targeting Xiao Yang, they naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. They also couldn't take pleasure in his misfortune or kick him while he was down.
"What? You're not leaving? If you don't want to leave, then all of you can scram. "
When the armored guard saw that Li Qinghe, Gu Shanqing, and the others did not move, the smile on his face suddenly turned ruthless. His murderous aura was dense, and he stared at them with a cold face. He even released a dense and majestic aura in an attempt to intimidate them.
"Hey, why? Why can't our older cousin use it? He was also chosen by the Poison Sect. " Lan Jiaoye puffed up her cheeks and angrily glared at the armored guard. She felt wronged and angry for Xiao Yang.
Gu Qianqian and the rest also had unfriendly looks on their faces. This armored guard was targeting Xiao Yang. Wasn't he also trying to intimidate them? They wouldn't do it.
"Why? Because I'm the guardian of the teleportation array. My words are the rules."
The armored guard changed his attitude and spoke bluntly to Xiao Yang and the others.
On the seventh floor of the teleportation tower, an old man with white hair and beard was standing by the window, watching the scene below with a mocking expression.
This old man was from the Zhou Clan, and his name was Zhengxing.
The Zhou Clan's overall strength ranked in the top three of the top ten cities. They were only slightly weaker than the Poison Sect.
Zhou Zhengxing was deliberately making things difficult for Xiao Yang because he knew what had happened in Martial Yang City. One of the judges for the Martial Yang City Hegemony Tournament was from the Zhou Clan, but Xiao Yang had killed him. Naturally, he was furious. The Zhou Clan's prestige could not be challenged. Who did this Xiao Yang think he was? If he dared to touch the whiskers of the Zhou Clan, then he should be prepared for a counterattack.
Zhou Zhengxing was the person in charge of Flame City's teleportation tower. His words were orders. He could decide who could use the teleportation array and who couldn't.
"Hehe …."
Zhou Zhengxing couldn't help but sneer when he saw the indignation and helplessness on Xiao Yang and the others' faces. His face was full of disdain. He felt that toying with someone like Xiao Yang to death was as easy as pie.
At their age, if they wanted to kill someone, they didn't just have to rely on cultivation and battle prowess. They could do it with authority and intelligence.
Don't say that he was abusing public resources for personal vengeance. In this place, he was like a feudal lord, a high official. Even if the Poison Sect wanted to deal with him, they'd have to spend several days going back and forth. Not to mention, the Poison Sect's management was filled with officials protecting each other.
"Xiao Yang, is it? This old man will let you know that offending the Zhou Clan won't end well for you. Hmph," Zhou Zhengxing said coldly.
The armored guard had changed his attitude toward Xiao Yang and the others because of Zhou Zhengxing's orders. He was just a guard with management above him. He couldn't disobey.
Lan Jiaoye looked at the armored guard's stubborn expression and was at her wit's end. Helplessness was written all over her face as she snorted, "Cousin, let's go. If it's not suitable, then it's not suitable. What's the big deal? We'll just go to the next city."
Gu Qianqian also curled her lips at the armored guard, venting her anger and dissatisfaction on him. She muttered, "That's right, let's go."
Li Qinghe, Chen Zhifu, Gu Shanhe, and the others were also loyal people. They were naturally willing to leave with Xiao Yang.
But the problem was that Xiao Yang wasn't someone who would admit defeat. How could he leave so easily?
He confidently replied, "Don't worry, we can use the transportation formation to leave today."
The armored guard sneered, and so did Zhou Zhengxing. They wanted to see how Xiao Yang would use the transportation formation. As long as he didn't say anything, no one would be able to activate it.
"Cousin, don't be silly. The transportation tower doesn't welcome us. Let's just leave." Lan Jiaoye still felt that it was better not to embarrass herself. No one could solve this kind of problem.
Right now, it wasn't just a single armored guard's problem. The armored guard's change in attitude was clearly an order from his superiors. This meant that the person in charge of the transportation tower didn't welcome them.
Xiao Yang smiled. "Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to teleport."
Big talk, big talk, the armored guard thought.
Before, he'd thought that Xiao Yang had a dignified appearance and an extraordinary bearing. But now, it seemed that Xiao Yang was just a guy who didn't have anything to show off. Other than showing off, he was completely useless.
As one of the guards of the transportation tower, he knew better than anyone that Zhou Zhengxing was the person in charge here. Without his orders, no one could use the transportation formation.
Zhou Zhengxing was also sneering. He wanted to see Xiao Yang's embarrassing face when his lies were exposed.
"The Poison Sect's transportation formation has a special rule. Those who have rendered meritorious service can use it for free," Xiao Yang said calmly.
The armored guard couldn't take it anymore. This young man had just been chosen by the Poison Sect. He hadn't even entered the Poison Sect yet, so where did his meritorious service come from?
He sneered and said disdainfully, "That's right, the transportation formation does have a special rule."
