485 The Meeting Begins

In the vast open space, there was blood everywhere that emitted a foul smell. This blood was extremely corrosive and was almost crazily corroding everything around it. Not a single flower or tree was spared. Even a small hill had more than half of its body corroded away. From this, it could be seen how terrifying the corrosive nature of this Blood Qi was.

Gu Xi, who was dressed in a green robe, was floating in the air. He looked down at the man who had exploded into a pile of flesh and blood, but there was no joy on his face.

“It’s not a coincidence to meet the demonic race here. If I’m not wrong, this guy is most likely here for the teleportation array…”

Gu Xi shook his head, and his body trembled as he strangely appeared in the sky above the teleportation portal. He stared at the portal below and did not move for a long time.

“This formation… It seems to be a little different from the one I encountered before.” After some time, Gu Xi mumbled to himself, “But I can’t tell what’s different…”

A vast divine sense gushed out of his mind and once again enveloped the array below. Under Gu Xi’s control, it swept through every corner of the array again and again, but no matter how detailed the investigation was, there was nothing unusual.

“Did I sense it wrong?” Gu Xi shook his head helplessly after a fruitless search.

After saying that, he turned around to leave, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly thought of something. He suddenly patted his head and said, “How could I have forgotten about this?”

He came to the sky above the formation again and muttered in a low voice, “System, check if this spirit array is still operational.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the System quickly responded.

[Ding! Teleportation Array detected!]

[Checking if it is operational!]

…

The System fell into silence again, and Gu Xi quietly waited for the System to give the most accurate result. At present, the array seemed to be in a state of complete failure. He knew that once the System detected that the array could still be used, it would most likely be the outer realm demonic race who had self-destructed just now that had caused all this.

That fellow tried so hard, even to the point of causing himself to self-destruct… It must be to protect this secret!

The explosion had turned a funcitonal teleportation array formation into a broken one. This meant that the demonic race would soon arrive at the Eastern Continent through this array!

[Detected that the array can be activated!]

As expected, the System quickly gave him an answer.

The next moment, a mysterious fluctuation uncontrollably gushed out of Gu Xi’s body and gently landed on the surface of the array. Immediately, the huge array seemed to have taken off its camouflage coat and began to slowly operate.

As the formation started to operate, the surrounding space gradually began to boil. Fortunately, Gu Xi ordered the System to stop it in time. Otherwise, once the array started to operate, who knew where he would be transported to.

Maybe… He would be transported to the lair of the outer realm demonic race!

Gu Xi could not help but shiver at the thought of this.

Although he was now one of the best among the young generation in the Eastern Continent, and he could even sit firmly on the throne of the first place, if he was teleported to the base camp of the demonic race, he would not even know how he died.

it seems that the outer realm demonic race will most likely come to the Eastern Continent through this formation, and there will definitely be more than one teleportation point in the Eastern Continent.

After some analysis, Gu Xi quickly came to this final conclusion.

Without the slightest hesitation, he waved his hand, and a tyrannical spiritual energy burst out from his body, surging toward the array below.

Boom–

An earth-shattering sound followed. In an instant, the ground within a radius of several miles began to tremble. Thick dust flew up, making it difficult for people to see the situation below.

When the dust settled, the array below, which had been repaired, was once again destroyed and rendered useless.

“There’s definitely more than one teleportation formation. Who knows how many more of such secret teleportation arrays there are in this world? It’s going to be difficult to find them one by one.”

Looking down at the array that was useless again, Gu Xi’s expression was still not good.

The outer realm demonic race’s intention to repair and cover up the teleportation array had made it a fact that the Eastern Continent was about to face their invasion.

“No matter how many arrays you plan to use, I, Gu Xi, will destroy every single one I can find. I won’t let you off!” After a while, Gu Xi regained his confidence, and with a tap of his toes, he turned into a stream of light again and quickly flew towards the distant sky.

He knew that as long as the demonic race was not eliminated, the people in the Eastern Continent would not have a peaceful day in the future.

In the blink of an eye, his figure had already disappeared into the horizon. He did not hesitate to rush to the next teleportation array marked on the map…

…

At the same time, on the other side.

In the meeting hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

As the world’s number one Chamber of Commerce, the meeting hall of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion could be said to occupy a very vast area. It was enough to accommodate nearly 1,000 people at the same time for discussion. Moreover, they spared no expense on decoration, and it was not an exaggeration to call it magnificent.

Compared to the usual desolation, the meeting hall was packed with people today. People in groups of twos and threes constantly entered the hall, and they found their seats under the guidance of the maidservants of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. It did not take long for the entire meeting hall to be filled with people. There were even many people who had no seats and had to stand by the wall to wait.

As the crowd took their seats, Tong Shan and Tang Conglin took the lead. They looked at the thousands of faces below them with a hint of tension on their faces. After all, they were facing all the famous people in the entire Eastern Continent. None of them were easy to deal with.

“I’m very happy to be able to gather with all of you in the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion today. However, I have to apologize to all of you for one thing. This time, you’re not summoned by the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, but by the branch of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion in Lanjiang City.”

After clearing his throat, Tong Shan slowly said the words that he had prepared for a long time with an apologetic tone. His words instantly ignited the emotions of the people below the stage.

“Pavilion Master Tong, what’s going on?”

“That’s right. We’re usually very busy. If it weren’t for the fact that we heard that this was an invitation from your Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion’s main pavilion, we might not have put aside time to come here.”

“I broke out of my closed-door cultivation to come here!”

For a moment, the crowd below the stage began to complain.
