The Demon Eye of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality

Chapter 26 Ancient Teleportation Array

After the smoke completely dissipated, Mu Chunfeng and Han Li walked together to the corpse of the Blood Jade Spider, their gazes falling on the body of this level-four demon beast.

Mu Chunfeng turned to Han Li and teased, "Junior Brother Han, the materials from this level four demonic beast are quite rare. Are you sure you don't want to take some?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li scratched his head and said with a smile, "If Senior Brother is so kind, I would also like to get some."

"Alright, Junior Brother Han, we'll divide these things later. I'll take you to see the real treasures here."

As soon as Mu Chunfeng finished speaking, Han Li looked curious and quickly asked, "Senior Brother Mu, what exactly is here?"

You'll see when you see it.

Mu Chunfeng kept everyone in suspense and took the lead in heading towards the deepest part of the cave.

The two walked quickly to the deepest part of the cave, where they saw a teleportation array exuding an ancient aura standing quietly. However, one of the stone pillars around the teleportation array was missing a corner, and the array patterns appeared somewhat dim.

Beside a stone pillar, a skeleton sat cross-legged, tightly clutching an ancient token in its hand. The four ancient characters "Great Teleportation Token" were clearly visible on the token. On the ground in front of the skeleton, five pills of different colors were scattered.

"The Heaven-Mending Pill!"

Mu Chunfeng's eyes lit up slightly. He raised his hand and released a burst of spiritual energy, steadily taking the five pills into his hand. He glanced at them quickly and put them into his storage bag. His gaze returned to the skeleton and the Great Teleportation Token, his expression showing a hint of solemnity.

Seeing Mu Chunfeng put away the pills, Han Li stepped forward and asked softly, "Senior Brother Mu, do you know what kind of formation this is?"

"This is an ancient teleportation array."

Mu Chunfeng responded calmly.

"An ancient teleportation array?"

Han Li's eyes were full of doubt. Although he had heard of teleportation arrays, he had never heard of any ancient teleportation array, let alone know how it differed from ordinary teleportation arrays. He then pressed Mu Chunfeng for information about ancient teleportation arrays.

Mu Chunfeng slowly began to speak, patiently explaining, "This ancient teleportation array is rumored to be able to achieve ultra-long-distance teleportation, far exceeding the teleportation distance of ordinary teleportation arrays, at least spanning hundreds of thousands of miles. However, to use this ancient teleportation array, it must be used in conjunction with the Great Teleportation Token in the skeleton's hand."

After saying that, he pointed to the skeleton's hand that was tightly gripping the token, and added, "It's just that this teleportation array is missing a corner and is already damaged, and we don't know where it leads. It might be a remote and unfamiliar cultivation ground."

"Of course, this is just my guess."

Upon hearing this, Han Li fell into deep thought.

With such powerful teleportation capabilities, this ancient teleportation array would undoubtedly be an excellent escape route should the seven factions of Yue Kingdom ultimately be defeated.

His gaze unconsciously fell on the Great Teleportation Order.

Just then, Mu Chunfeng spoke up, "Junior Brother Han, how about this: I'll keep the Great Teleportation Token, and you'll be responsible for repairing the damaged ancient teleportation array. That way, we can check and balance each other, and prevent one of us from monopolizing the opportunities here."

Mu Chunfeng was naturally doing Han Li a favor. After all, Han Li had just said that he would not touch any of the treasures here, but now that such a good treasure was in front of him, how could he not be tempted?

Upon hearing this, Han Li gently shook his head and said sincerely, "It's not that I don't trust you, senior brother, but even if this ancient teleportation array is repaired, I can't use it without the Great Teleportation Token. Repairing it wouldn't be of much significance to me."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chunfeng instantly understood Han Li's concerns—he was afraid that since he held the Great Teleportation Token, Han Li would leave alone after repairing the teleportation array, abandoning him here.

After all, in terms of strength, Mu Chunfeng had always been ahead of Han Li.

Given Han Li's cautious nature, he would definitely be worried that Mu Chunfeng might turn her back on him later.

Mu Chunfeng couldn't help but chuckle. He had given Han Li so much face, yet the other party was still somewhat ungrateful.

However, he still needs Han Li's little green bottle to cultivate the ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo for him in the Chaotic Star Sea in the future. How could he possibly leave Han Li behind and go alone?

However, he didn't point it out. Instead, he looked at Han Li and suggested, "How about this? Let's make a vow between our inner demons: first, we won't reveal any secrets of this place; second, if we need to use the teleportation array in the future, we must wait for each other to use it and leave together. What do you say?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li pondered for a moment, and finally nodded, replying, "Then I will do as Senior Brother says."

Afterwards, the two sat cross-legged and solemnly made a vow to overcome their inner demons. They also agreed that if the seven factions of Yue Kingdom were defeated, they would use this ancient teleportation array to leave this place and find another way out.

After making the vow against his inner demons, Han Li immediately smiled apologetically at Mu Chunfeng and said, "Please forgive me, senior brother. I was really frightened by all that deceit and treachery, which is why I offended you just now."

Han Li paused slightly after speaking, then continued, "After all, Junior Brother said from the beginning that he did not seek the treasures here. Now that Senior Brother is generously sharing, Junior Brother naturally cannot accept Senior Brother's kindness for nothing."

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of light appeared at Han Li's waist, and a jade box flew out and arrived in front of Mu Chunfeng.

Mu Chunfeng tilted her head slightly, puzzled, and asked, "What's this?"

"Junior brother was fortunate enough to acquire a thousand-year-old spiritual herb. When I was trading with you before, I realized that you probably needed it, so I gave it to you. Thank you for your generosity in sharing this opportunity."

Mu Chunfeng opened the jade box, checked it, and after confirming it contained a thousand-year-old spiritual herb, casually put it away. Then, she walked to Han Li's side, patted his shoulder, and chuckled, "Junior Brother Han, you're so steady! You waited until I made the oath to my inner demons before giving me the gift. If I hadn't mentioned the oath earlier, would you have planned to attack me?"

Han Li quickly replied with a forced smile, "How dare I, how dare I, how could I dare to fight with my senior brother..."

Mu Chunfeng naturally understood Han Li's thoughts, smiled at him, and then dropped the matter.

Afterwards, the two carefully explored the entire cave again. As for the ancient teleportation array, they both made a copy of the array diagram. After all, with the oath of the inner demon, Han Li would not suspect that Mu Chunfeng had done anything wrong.

Mu Chunfeng put away Xuan Le's and the other disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect's storage bags, as well as the Great Teleportation Token.

When he picked up the storage bags and probed them with his divine sense, he discovered that the bags, which contained spirit stones, actually held tens of thousands of spirit stones. He was secretly delighted.

Han Li then put away the storage bags of Lü Tianmeng and the disciple from the Spirit Beast Mountain, and the two of them divided the materials from the Blood Jade Spider equally.

While taking stock of the materials, Han Li unexpectedly found two Blood Jade Spider eggs. Upon seeing this, Mu Chunfeng smiled and said, "I'll leave my eggs with you to raise. I'm usually too busy to take care of them."

He knew in his heart that he did not have the right resources to nurture the two eggs. Only by leaving them in Han Li's hands and relying on Han Li's resources could they grow faster.

After packing all their belongings, the two headed towards the cave exit together.

After this incident, the relationship between the two became even closer. In addition, due to the constraints of the oath of inner demons, Han Li also lowered his guard against Mu Chunfeng and was no longer as wary as he had been at the beginning.

Before leaving, Mu Chunfeng raised his hand and released several streams of spiritual energy to completely cover the cave entrance with boulders and set up a simple seal. The two slowly walked out along the mine tunnel. Han Li specially released a lizard puppet to explore the way ahead and be alert to any potential dangers in the mine tunnel.

The two had walked for a short while when the lizard puppet ahead suddenly stopped moving and emitted a subtle warning signal.

Han Li's heart tightened, and he quickly went forward to check. He saw that Chen Qiaoqian was lying unconscious under a pile of rubble.

Han Li quickly stepped forward, circulated his spiritual power, and carefully moved the rubble that was pressing on Chen Qiaoqian. He gently picked her up, then took out a healing pill from his storage bag and carefully fed it to her.

The pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, and after a short while, Chen Qiaoqian slowly opened her eyes. When she saw that it was Han Li holding her, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she said weakly, "Junior Brother Han, you're still alive, that's... wonderful."

As soon as he finished speaking, everything went black again, and he fainted once more.

Helpless, Han Li had no choice but to carry Chen Qiaoqian on his back and continue walking out of the mine tunnel with Mu Chunfeng.

On the way, Mu Chunfeng looked at Chen Qiaoqian on Han Li's back and teased, "Junior brother, you are quite lucky. One woman after another is infatuated with you. Even though Junior Sister Chen is so badly injured, the first thing she said when she woke up was that she was concerned about you."

Upon hearing this, Han Li's face showed a hint of helplessness, and he said with a wry smile, "Senior brother is joking. It's just a misunderstanding between me and Senior Sister Chen. It's mainly because of what happened with Senior Brother Lu last time. As you know, I had clearly erased her memory, but for some reason, she insisted that I was the one who saved her back then."

Mu Chunfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "Junior brother, with such good fortune, what reason do you have to refuse? I think Junior Sister Chen is truly sincere towards you, so why not take her under your wing for protection?"

Upon hearing this, Han Li could only smile wryly and shake his head, saying, "Senior brother, you know me. I am naturally mediocre, and all my time and energy must be devoted to cultivation. I have no time to think about these romantic matters."

The two traveled a little further when Chen Qiaoqian slowly woke up. She leaned on Han Li's shoulder and asked softly, "Junior Brother Han, are there any other survivors in the mine?"

"Senior Sister Chen, you're awake."

Han Li slowed his pace and said in a gentle tone, "Besides me and Senior Brother Mu, there are no other survivors."

"Senior Brother Mu is here too?"

Chen Qiaoqian was taken aback, then turned her head and saw Mu Chunfeng following behind Han Li. Thinking that she was being carried by Han Li at the moment, her cheeks couldn't help but turn slightly red.

She quickly said softly, "Greetings, Senior Brother Mu."

Seeing this, Mu Chunfeng didn't disturb the two any further, but simply nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Along the way, the atmosphere between Han Li and Chen Qiaoqian gradually became subtle.

Chen Qiaoqian blushed slightly, leaned on Han Li's shoulder, and whispered, "Junior Brother Han, you might have some reservations about me because of Senior Brother Lu's matter. As the eldest daughter of the Chen family, there are many things I can't control and can't make my own decisions."

Her tone carried a hint of loneliness and helplessness.

"I just never expected that I would meet such a bad person. It's better not to mention this matter now."

Hearing her words, Han Li breathed a sigh of relief—luckily, Chen Qiaoqian hadn't remembered what happened that night, otherwise the situation between the two of them would have been even more awkward.

Just then, Chen Qiaoqian seemed to notice something. She whispered to Han Li, "Junior Brother Han, put me down first. I can walk by myself."

Upon hearing this, Han Li slowly stopped and carefully put Chen Qiaoqian down.

Chen Qiaoqian steadied herself, took out a clean handkerchief from her storage bag, and looked at the wound on Han Li's arm—a wound left by Han Li when he fought the Blood Jade Spider.

She gently picked up Han Li's arm and carefully bandaged his wound with a handkerchief. After she finished bandaging, a flash of light appeared at her fingertips, and a wisp of gentle spiritual energy flowed into Han Li's wound, which healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Senior Sister Chen."

Han Li bowed and expressed his gratitude.

The three of them then walked along the mine tunnel together, and after many twists and turns, they finally emerged from the mine and arrived at the mountainside.

Having been subjected to the constant displays of affection from Han Li and his companion, Mu Chunfeng grew impatient. He reached into his storage bag, took out the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, and said to Han Li and his companion, "I have some urgent business to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. See you at the front lines."

Having said that, without waiting for their response, he leaped onto the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, infused it with spiritual power, and the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle transformed into a streak of light, speeding towards the Yue Kingdom and disappearing into the horizon in an instant.

Mu Chunfeng stood alone on the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, finally letting out a sigh of relief. He then took out all the storage bags on his body and began to organize them.

After organizing all the items, Mu Chunfeng took stock and discovered that he now possessed tens of thousands of spirit stones.

This does not even include the various magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans, etc. seized from Xuan Le and others.

He couldn't help but feel delighted, thinking to himself: This is all thanks to Wang Chan and Xuan Le; their generosity saved me a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the setting sun gradually descended, its afterglow scattering on the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle. Mu Chunfeng felt increasingly relaxed as he piloted the Cloud-Piercing Shuttle, speeding towards the Seven Sects' position.

Now that the teleportation array matter is settled, he should go to the front lines to report to Huang Fenggu.
