Zephyr roared.
The two guards were stunned as their gazes looked from left to right. To their surprise, two identical
governors appeared. Who should they listen to?
Thwack! Thwack!
Alex instantly answered by sending them flying with kicks. The spatial teleportation was activated!
Swoosh!
Probably because of the long-range teleportation that Alex felt that his body seemed to have entered a
chaotic state, traveling a sticky place after the portal activated. He felt strained as if there was some
sort of compression on his blood and bones.
Despite that, however, he was not overly surprised. He had comprehended the Instant Teleportation by
himself.
Such sensations were, in fact, the result of semi-materialization after the spatial laws compressed
space to an extreme. It was also the shuttle between two cities in the Western Ridge. The sense of
compression would become more potent as the distance grew farther.
In other words, if a portal had teleported someone from a planet to another distant planet, there would
be no way it could teleport a person with an ordinary cultivation base since the powerful spatial
compression would crush his body into a puddle of goo.
One second after Alex and Hermione teleported away, Zephyr and the others rushed forward as well.
However, there was a frequency for the activation of the teleportation portal. It required three minutes
to activate it once.
âWhere does this portal lead to?â
âTo Starborn City.â
âStarborn City? Isnât that the small city on the edge of Western Ridge? Whatâs that guy going to do over
there?â
âNext to Starborn City is Misty Swamp. If he wants to escape the Sun Shrineâs pursuit, he will enter
Misty Swamp, the place with the best chance for escape. Heâll only meet a dead-end if he escapes to
other cities.â
âD*mn it! Heâs really cunning! Go after him!â
Three minutes soon passed.
The crowd entered the formation blueprint together, trying to activate the teleportation portal.
Unexpectedly, the portalâs formation blueprint failed to light up.
What happened?
Gabriel operated it twice, but the results were the same. He was so furious that he violently stomped
his foot on the ground. âThis brute has destroyed the portal on the other side, and we canât teleport
there.â
The crowd was speechless.
Donovan Orlando was dumbfounded as well. âWhat should we do then? It seems thereâs only one
teleportation portal in Starborn City. Itâll take us at least half a month to go there on foot. By then, where
are we going to find him?â
âWe have to find him even if we canât!â Gabriel proclaimed.
***
On the other end, Alex had indeed destroyed the teleportation portalâs formation blueprint.
However, he had just destroyed one of the key ancient runes. With his current comprehension level on
the formation blueprint, he could repair it completely.
He was back in Starborn City.
Alex rushed to where the Usoro family was previously located, but he discovered the original house
had long turned into a pile of ruins. There were even a few new, solitary graves built on the top of the
ruins.
The buried were all members of the Usoro family. He did not know who was the one who buried them
either.
Ruins, new graves, and broken walls were a stark, sarcastic juxtaposition to the former Usoro familyâs
prosperous family business.
âSenior, you have to stay alive! Plenilune Sect, Iâm coming!â
Alex immediately released the airship that he had acquired from Dave and jumped onto it. It was quite
easy to pilot as well. As long as it had enough spiritual stones, it could fly at breakneck speed.
Twenty minutes later, the airship arrived at an area nearby Plenilune Sect.
