Two streaks of light flashed across the horizon at an extremely fast speed.

As Song Qingluan had just awakened her Heavenly Spirit Sacred Body, and her cultivation base was low, Yun Zhiyi ordered Gu Xi to bring her along. This was also to save time and speed up the journey.

When the demonic tribe from the outer realms appeared one after another in the Southern Continent, Yun Zhiyi always had a bad premonition in his heart that something big was about to happen.

Of course, investigating the demonic tribe from the outer realm was only one of the things he needed to do. The most important thing for him was to increase Song Qingluan’s strength as soon as possible. After all, as long as his fists were tough enough, he could at least have the strength to protect himself against the invasion of the demonic tribe from the outer realm in the future. He would not end up as cannon fodder in the war.

Yun Zhiyi had a worried look on his face. On the other hand, Gu Xi was the same.

Now that he was about to return to the Eastern Continent, he could not help but recall all the things that had happened in the Supreme Purity Sect and during the great competition.

The targeting of the major sects and aristocratic families, the recruitment of the demon race, the flirtatious Saintess Mei Qianmeng, and the powerful Demon Venerable.

When he returned this time, it was inevitable that there would be another soul-stirring battle. Fortunately, Yun Zhiyi had followed him all the way, which made him feel a little at ease.

After all, Yun Zhiyi was a Great Saint stage cultivator. In the entire Eastern Continent, he had yet to see any Great Saint stage cultivator, but this did not mean that there were none.

“Perhaps that mysterious Demon Lord is a Great Saint stage cultivator.”

Recalling the battle with the demon Lord that day, Gu Xi secretly guessed in his heart.

“I’ve arrived.” At this moment, Yun Zhiyi’s voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Xi and Song Qingluan both looked up and saw a huge valley at the end of their line of sight. The three of them flew into the sky and followed Yun Zhiyi down. Soon, an ancient stone platform appeared in front of them.

The stone platform was not very big. The entire stone platform was circular and there were complicated spiritual patterns carved on its surface. In the center of the stone platform were six stone pillars that were hundreds of feet tall, and there were also spiritual patterns carved on them.

Obviously, this entire stone platform was a genuine spiritual array!

Gu Xi sized it up curiously. However, what made him curious was that even though he clearly knew that this stone platform was a spiritual array, and it was a high-level spiritual array that could teleport across the continent over an extremely long distance. However, he did not feel the slightest fluctuation of spirit energy from it. At first glance, he felt that it was no different from an ordinary stone platform.

Looking at the weeds that were almost growing all over the stone platform, he even wondered if this thing could still be used. If it was broken, then he would be finished.

Song Qingluan, who was at the side, also had a curious look on her face. However, from the beginning to the end, she had never been more than ten steps away from Gu Xi. It was as if only by staying by his side could she have a sense of security.

“Don’t underestimate this array formation. Although it hasn’t been used for a while, something of this level shouldn’t be damaged.”

Elder Yun seemed to see the worry in Gu Xi’s heart and said with a smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xi could not help but sigh in relief.

With Yun Zhiyi’s attainments in the spirit array, he would not lie.

“Watch carefully from now on.” Yun Zhiyi spoke again. He slowly raised a hand, and a bronze token appeared in his palm. Although the token looked extremely ordinary, Gu Xi could still vaguely feel the vicissitudes of life from it. Obviously, this was also a product of ten thousand years ago.

Just as Yun Zhiyi was about to make his next move, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and squinted his eyes to look at the distant horizon.

Gu Xi also sensed something and looked into the distance.

Only Song Qingluan was confused at first, but she soon realized that something was wrong and subconsciously hid behind Gu Xi.

On the horizon, two streams of light were rushing over at an extremely fast speed.

“Great Saint.” Yun Zhiyi spoke with a frown.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xi felt a little surprised.

Why were these Great Saint cultivators, who were rarely seen, appearing one after another like bamboo shoots after a rain?

Could it be that as Yun Zhiyi said, something big was about to happen in the Southern Continent?

“Elder Yun, do you think we need to temporarily avoid it?”

Gu Xi’s brain was spinning rapidly, and he immediately looked at Yun Zhiyi.

It was best for them not to come into contact with a Great Saint cultivator. After all, if they were not careful, they could get themselves into trouble. Furthermore, they were about to return to the Eastern Continent. The less trouble they had, the better.

“It’s too late.” Yun Zhiyi shook his head helplessly, “When I discovered him, he had already sensed our presence.”

Gu Xi frowned, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate. He was prepared to attack or escape at any time.

Soon, the two rays of light in the sky had already arrived several thousand feet in front of the three of them. In just a breath’s time, they were already close to a thousand feet.

The two rays of light stopped in mid-air at the same time and slowly descended, revealing two figures — one old and one young.

Both parties looked at each other in dismay and immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

“So it’s Brother Gu. I thought that some reclusive expert had come out from the mountains.” Yun Zhiyi cupped his hands towards the two of them and said with a smile.

That’s right, the people who had come were Elder Gu and the mysterious green-clothed woman.

No matter how much both parties had not expected that they would meet again after only a few days of separation. Fate was something that was really hard to fathom.

“It’s really fate.” Elder Gu also cupped his hands in return. His gaze swept past Gu Xi and Song Qingluan, and his gaze fell on Yun Zhiyi. “Brother Yun, are you here to use this array formation?”

Those who were able to find this place were naturally aware of the existence of this teleportation array formation. Rather than feigning ignorance, it was better to be straightforward.

“That is indeed the case. May I know where Brother Gu and the Lady are going?” Yun Zhiyi did not choose to hide it, but he immediately threw out a question.

Elder Gu and the lady in green looked at each other. Before Elder Gu could reply, the lady in Green was the first to reply, “Back to the Central Plains.”

These three short words confirmed Yun Zhiyi’s guess.

The old man’s expression froze. He clearly did not expect the woman to tell him their origins so straightforwardly. He took a step forward and protected the woman behind him. At the same time, the spiritual power in his body was ready to be unleashed.

The relationship between the Central Plains and the Four Continents was not good, to begin with. Now that their true origins were exposed in the Southern Continent, it was hard to guarantee that they would not be targeted by some people with ulterior motives.
