"It should be. There is still half a day before the teleportation portal opens. Unless someone else can make it in time, otherwise …" Young Dragon waved his hand and said bleakly.
"Then why isn't Senior Brother Jin here? Is he also …?" Liu Ming's face suddenly changed, and he said in surprise.
"That's not it. Senior Brother Jin encountered some accidents during an operation. He has been forcibly teleported out by the enchantment here." Young Dragon shook his head slightly and briefly told him about how Kim Tin-thi and the others were ambushed by the Crystal Scale Race, one of the 3 Extreme Races.
Liu Ming was startled when he heard the words, then he realized something.
In the following time, he chatted with the Ouyang sisters for a while.
Speaking of which, he felt a little guilty. Protecting the Ouyang sisters was part of his promise, but in the past year, the time he spent with the two girls was only about a month.
However, the two girls didn't care at all. Instead, they revealed some concern for him in their words, which made Liu Ming a little touched.
After he and Long Yanfei chatted casually for a while, he walked to the side, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.
On the way back, he encountered a little trouble and wasted a lot of time. In order not to miss the teleportation time, he rushed back at full speed and consumed a lot of spiritual power. At this moment, it was a good time to recover his spiritual power.
As time passed, no one appeared again in the end.
An hour later, in the human realm, in the underground hall of the main hall of Taiqing Gate, Daoist Tian Ge was sitting cross-legged on a green stone pillar with a coiled dragon. He frowned with a solemn expression.
"Tian Ge, although Lieyang has been teleported out, you don't have to be so anxious. We've obtained first place in the Heavenly Gate Meeting this time, and our karmic luck for the next few hundred years will be prosperous and flourishing. I believe that the remaining disciples ought to have their own fortuitous encounters, and it won't be as miserable as we were all those years ago. "On another stone pillar with a coiled dragon, an old man with an amiable expression opened his eyes slightly as he spoke in a low voice.
"I hope so!"
Daoist Master Tian Ge nodded at the old man.
"Back then, only the two of us were lucky enough to escape from the ruins, but we were also seriously injured. In the end, although we broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, this was the end of the path of cultivation. Sigh …" The other old man with thick white eyebrows suddenly sighed.
"Junior Brother, let's not talk about what happened back then. Come to think of it, it's been almost a year since they entered the ruins. Since the power of the realms is still weak, why don't we open up the passageway earlier so that they can return earlier? Otherwise, there will be more changes in the ruins, "the amiable-looking old man said indifferently.
"That's fine. Anyway, there are only a few hours left. Those who should be here should be here by now. Tian Ge, let's go. "The old man with thick white eyebrows said.
Elder Han and Daoist Tian Ge looked at each other and nodded. Their hands formed a series of hand seals and their mouths began to chant an obscure incantation.
With several "pu pu" sounds, the four stone pillars with a coiling dragon suddenly shined with azure light. The light flashed and landed on the spell formation on the ground.
The huge spell formation on the ground emitted a low hum just like when the passageway was opened. Immediately after, runes gradually appeared on the four stone pillars.
Not long after, the color of the stone pillars strangely turned blood-red. The entire stone pillar was instantly wrapped in red light, and the hall was filled with a bright red light.
At this moment, the four changed their hand seals and simultaneously leaped into the air. They floated in the air and shot a ray of azure light from the top of the stone pillars.
The four stone pillars trembled incessantly and the red light on the stone pillars turned into flowing water. It slowly poured into the spell formation on the ground.
After a moment, the entire spell formation turned into a red fountain. However, what came out of the center of the spell formation was not a trickle of spring water, but a flowing spiritual mist.
"This reverse teleportation spell formation has already been opened. If they were at the starting point, they should be able to sense it." Daoist Master Tian Ge said as he looked at the "red spring" on the ground.
… …
At the same time, at the edge of the desolate desert, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
He was about to leave the Land of Ruins. In his mind, he was thinking about which treasures and materials to hand over to the Sect and which he had to keep.
For example, the twelve rough Mountain River Beads, the Longevity Medicine, and the supplementary medicinal ingredients for breaking through to the Jin Dan. He would never hand them over to the Sect. According to the rules set by the Sect, he had to hand over two-thirds of what he had obtained from the Land of Ruins. If he wanted to keep these treasures, it seemed that the Spirit Grass and Spirit Medicine on the ground might not be enough.
Just as Liu Ming was deep in thought, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the desolate sea of sand. The ground also began to tremble.
Suddenly, a deafening thunderous roar reverberated in the air!
Immediately after, a series of violent fluctuations came from the depths of the ground in front of everyone. It was as if the entire void was going to be shattered.
Seeing this situation, Liu Ming and the other eight people stood up with a change of expression.
However, a dazzling red beam of light suddenly emerged, and suddenly collapsed into a thick red mist that covered dozens of feet. In the red mist, a huge teleportation array slowly condensed, and its momentum was astonishing.
"It seems that the peak master and the elders have opened the teleportation array in advance. Let's go now." Seeing this, Jiu Longzi thought for a while and said to everyone.
"Senior Brother Jiu, Senior Brother Wen Ai is still missing. Are we not going to wait?" Behind Jiu Longzi, a young disciple with curly hair suddenly asked.
"A few days ago, I used the Ten Thousand Mile Sound Transmitting Talisman of the Sect to try to contact Junior Brother Wen, but there was no news. In this half a day, I used the Sensory Pearl to sense, but I couldn't sense Junior Brother Wen's whereabouts at all. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid Junior Brother Wen has already fallen in the ruins. Even if he is still alive, he should be millions of miles away. I'm afraid it's too late to come here at the fastest speed. "Jiu Longzi said with a sigh.
The curly-haired young man was speechless.
While talking, the array in the sea of mist had condensed, and the range had shrunk to a few dozen meters. There was a faint golden light flashing in the array, and it exuded a gentle spiritual pressure.
"Elders, it takes a lot of Fa Li and resources to maintain this teleportation channel. I'm afraid it can only last for the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn. You guys go in first, I'll wait for a while." Xiao Longzi turned around and said to the elders.
The curly-haired young man and another Taiqing Gate disciple heard this, and they immediately jumped into the array in a few flashes. After a red light flashed, the two disappeared.
Immediately afterward, Long Yanfei, the Ouyang Qian sisters, and Luo Tiancheng also stepped into the array and were teleported away.
When Liu Ming entered the array, he only felt that his vision turned red. His whole body suddenly tightened, then he was swallowed by a red light. After a flash, he disappeared.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in the place where he left a year ago, which was the underground hall of the main peak.
The Ouyang sisters, Luo Tiancheng, and others stood on the side shakily. They seemed to still be in the dizziness of teleportation.
There were also several Celestial State elders such as Daoist Tian Ge standing around.
"Liu Ming, why are there only a few of you? Even Jiu Longzi didn't come back? "Daoist Tian Ge immediately asked with concern when he saw Liu Ming was still awake.
"Reporting to the sect master, Senior Brother Qiu is still in the ruins. He said that he will wait for the last time to see if there are other disciples coming back." Liu Ming hurriedly jumped up and replied with a fist salute.
Daoist Tian Ge couldn't help but shake his head when he heard the words. He continued to make gestures with both hands. At the center of the hall, the "red spring" kept spurting out again, and a red light shone brightly.
After about 15 minutes, a red light beam of 10 meters thick fell from the sky above the main hall of Taiqing Gate.
"Boom", the red light beam directly penetrated the main hall of Taiqing Gate and fell on the red mist spring. A burly man in a green robe flashed out from it. It was Jiu Longzi.
Daoist Master Tian Ge and the three Grand Elders stopped their hand seals and simultaneously struck the four cyan stone pillars with several hand seals.
The green light flashed.
The four stone pillars instantly returned to their original appearance. At the center of the hall, the red mist spring also suddenly dissipated.
"Jiu Longzi greets the sect master and the elders."
Jiu Longzi shook his head slightly, then he woke up and cupped his fist at everyone.
"Only you came back. So, the others really died." Daoist Tian Ge said with a little disappointment.
"Reporting to the sect master, I'm afraid so. This time, I didn't lead the team well. That's why we lost so many disciples. "Jiu Longzi said with a little guilt.
"Lieyang has roughly told us what happened to you. This time, there were still many accidents. You don't have to blame yourself. It's good that you can come back." The kind old man jumped down from the stone pillar, patted Jiu Longzi's shoulder, and said with a smile.
At this moment, the Ouyang sisters, Luo Tiancheng, and the others also woke up one after another. They all greeted Daoist Tian Ge and the three great elders in fear.
"Okay, since you're all awake, let's count your harvest this time. Jiu Longzi, you first. "Daoist Tian Ge raised his voice and said to everyone.
Although only a few people came out this time, according to the usual practice, those who could come out must have brought a lot of treasures. The two old men's pale faces also showed a little expectation.
"Yes, sect master." Jiu Longzi said and strode to the center of the hall. He waved one hand and four to five storage talismans floated out.
He opened his five fingers and pointed at the storage talismans in the air. Rays of five-colored light instantly shot out from his fingertips.
"Puff! Puff!" The storage talisman exploded in response.
An abundant spirit energy filled the entire hall. A large pile of spirit herbs and ores of different sizes suddenly fell on the ground. There were also a few jade boxes, which seemed to be used to store spirit weapons and magic treasures.
However, the most eye-catching one among them was a mini peacock that flashed light green spirit light standing on the ore.
