That night, midnight.
According to Liu Yi's orders, Ceng Ping locked herself in the pavilion and didn't dare to go out. Liu Yi's punishment today had already made Ceng Ping afraid. She knew that Liu Yi had always been a person of her word. If she disobeyed her orders, not only would she implicate others, she would also lose the chance to rescue Dong Huashun.
Ceng Ping was still restless in her room, let alone rest. She was pacing back and forth in the room when her body suddenly shook and she looked at the platform outside the pavilion.
A figure was standing on the pavilion. It was Kong Yan.
"Elder Ceng," Kong Yan said, "Alliance Lord wants you to go."
Ceng Ping's body shook and she immediately said, "Okay!"
Kong Yan and Ceng Ping immediately left the pavilion and flew towards the City Lord's residence. When the two arrived at Liu Yi's office, Ceng Ping was shocked to find that each of the four allies had sent a level-nine Heavenly Master!
Misty Rain Sect's Yan Min, Huayue Sect's Li Panxing, Myriad Shadow Sect's Yan Lue, and Fire Mountain Sect's Liu Yingchun. The four level-nine Heavenly Masters were all sitting in the room. Ceng Ping couldn't compare to them at all. When Ceng Ping saw the four level-nine Heavenly Masters, she was first shocked, then overjoyed. She knew that Liu Yi must have made preparations for the rescue!
That's right, Liu Yi had indeed made preparations.
Liu Yi didn't know how long Dong Huashun could last, nor did she know if the enemy would use an illusion to extort a confession. However, this matter couldn't be delayed. If he was alive, she wanted to see him. If he was dead, she wanted to see his corpse. She was also very anxious to rescue Dong Huashun. The reason why she invited the four level-nine Heavenly Masters was because Liu Yi didn't want to trouble Prince Qi.
After Ceng Ping hurriedly bowed to everyone, Liu Yi said, "According to your suggestion, you will be the first to act in this rescue mission."
"Yes!" Ceng Ping was wild with joy after receiving an affirmative answer.
"However, there are two things you have to remember." Liu Yi said, "First, activate the transportation array. If there are enemies on the other side and you can't deal with them, you must prioritize escaping. You can't be captured. If you are confident that you can take care of all the enemies in a short time, you can leave one alive and bring him back. If there's no one around, I won't stay for long either. I'll have to come back immediately to scout the surrounding terrain. "
"Secondly, remember that I'll only give you ten minutes. If you don't come back by then, I'll assume that there's a powerful enemy on the other side, and I'll immediately terminate all rescue operations, including yours." Liu Yi looked at Ceng Ping and said, "If Dong Huashun dies because of your impulsiveness and carelessness, it's your fault. It has nothing to do with me."
"…"
Ceng Ping took a deep breath. She knew that the Alliance Master was telling her not to act rashly. She also knew that her strategy was far inferior to the Alliance Master's. If she messed up the plan on her own accord, she would only harm Dong Huashun. She nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"
Seeing Ceng Ping agree, Liu Yi looked at her husband beside her. Lu An nodded slightly. He stood up and cupped his hands towards the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters. "Thank you for your trouble."
Seeing this, the four of them stood up one after another. The operation had officially begun.

Second North Sea, Exchange Island.
After yesterday's catastrophe, Exchange Island was empty. Even the surrounding sea region did not have any mystical beasts. Everyone cherished their lives and did not want to turn into ashes like the Fire Habitat Race and the Ironwing Race. It had to be said that the sect's deterrence had a very obvious effect. It let all the mystical beasts know that even the sea was not safe.
Soon, a few rays of light flashed across the sky and stopped at the south of Exchange Island. It was the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters, Lu An, and Ceng Ping. The Level Nine Heavenly Masters only had the Teleportation Array to the Spirit Gathering State, so they needed some time to fly here.
This operation was very secretive. Only the Level Nine Heavenly Masters of the four sects knew about it. Liu Yi was worried that the news would spread to the Sect Alliance and alert the enemy. If that happened, even the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters might be in danger.
Ceng Ping quickly pointed out the location. After the six of them arrived, the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters immediately took two of them into the sea and quickly dived.
40,000 feet …
50,000 feet …
Under Lu An's request, the four of them did not move very quickly. They were worried that they would damage the space and cause the Teleportation Array to be destroyed. Lu An also had to spread out his spatial energy to sense the Teleportation Array. However, the bodies of marine creatures were usually very large, so the Teleportation Array left behind would also be very large. It should not be difficult to find.
60,000 feet …
65,000 feet!
Lu An could not withstand this depth with his strength, but the body structure of marine creatures was naturally able to adapt to very strong water pressure. At this depth, Lu An suddenly frowned. The spatial energy that had been spreading out immediately reacted!
"Wait!" Lu An immediately said.
Immediately, the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters stopped. Lu An and Ceng Ping, who were protected by the four of them, also stopped. Lu An's spatial perception continued to expand. He was very sure that there was a large Teleportation Array under his feet.
That's right. The mystical beasts set up the Teleportation Array so that once they caught someone, they could directly rush into the depths of the sea and leave this place.
Lu An did not delay. He asked the Level Nine Heavenly Masters to help him open up the surrounding seawater and create a space without pressure. Only then could he open the Teleportation Array with peace of mind.
According to Lu An's request, the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters propped up the surrounding ocean that was more than 100,000 feet, creating a space that looked like a normal sky. Lu An immediately released his spatial energy and fused it into the Teleportation Array that was left behind, activating it bit by bit.
When the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters saw this scene, they were extremely shocked.
In the afternoon, when the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters arrived at the Ice and Fire City and Liu Yi told them the plan, their hearts were filled with doubts and disbelief. If someone could open the Teleportation Array left behind by others, wouldn't that be equivalent to having the key to open many doors? This was equivalent to the concealment of the Teleportation Array being directly broken. However, when they saw the scene in front of them, they realized that they had really underestimated Lu An.
With Lu An's current spatial energy, it took him less than 20 breaths of time to completely activate the Teleportation Array that was 6,000 feet long and wide. This was indeed a Rank Eight Mystical Beast's Teleportation Array. Although it was huge, the Level Nine Heavenly Masters could not pass through it.
Ceng Ping flew to Lu An's side. Lu An looked at her and said seriously, "Remember what the Union Chief said to you. Don't be impulsive."
Ceng Ping took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She said, "Yes, I will not be impulsive."
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Go."
Ceng Ping did not hesitate and immediately rushed towards the incomparably huge Teleportation Array. Facing the 6,000 feet long and wide Teleportation Array that was like a cloud in the deep sea, Ceng Ping directly rushed in!
Bang!
Ceng Ping's figure disappeared in front of the five people. The Teleportation Array closed, and the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters returned to Lu An's side.
The Teleportation Array was one-way. Even if Ceng Ping created the Teleportation Array, she would return to the Ice and Fire City. The five people did not need to continue staying here and directly left.
Eight Ancient Continent, Ice and Fire City.
When Liu Yi saw Lu An and the four Level Nine Heavenly Masters return safely, she finally heaved a sigh of relief. To her, it was enough as long as Lu An was fine. The four Level Nine Heavenly Masters did not leave. It was very likely that they had other matters to attend to. They sat there and waited for the time it took to brew a cup of tea.
They had already sent the people over. It was now up to Ceng Ping to see if she could return.

Second North Sea Region, in an endless sea.
An incomparably huge Teleportation Array appeared in the deep sea. Fortunately, this Teleportation Array was about 5,000 feet deep and not 65,000 feet deep. Otherwise, Ceng Ping would have been crushed to death by the incomparably strong water pressure.
After walking out of the huge light of the Teleportation Array, the surrounding sea was illuminated. There was nothing here. There were no strange beasts or special buildings. There was only seawater.
After Ceng Ping looked around, she immediately chose to swim upwards. Her speed was very fast. Soon, she reached the bottom of the sea. However, she did not rush out of the sea. Instead, she carefully came to a place less than 10 feet above the sea and used her eyes and senses to observe the surroundings.
However … there was still nothing above the sea.
What was going on?
Ceng Ping was really confused. She had thought that this side was a cave, a prison, or even the enemy's headquarters. Once she appeared, she would be taken down. However, she really did not expect that there was nothing here. This made her panic!
She was not afraid of danger. On the contrary, she was more afraid of getting nothing. Then, she would not be able to save Dong Huashun!
