Chapter 920: Cao Tian Has Decent Self-Control

The crowd looked at that fleeing figure in a panic, their expressions stunned.

Cao Tian?

What is going on?

Why did he suddenly run away?

Just as the crowd was dazed, an invisible fluctuation suddenly spread out from underground, and in the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped everyone in the Feint Squad.

This is...

The power of a Transmission Array?

A look of bewilderment appeared in the eyes of the Leader of Yunzhou.

The next moment, his figure suddenly vanished.

Disappearing along with him were all the Cultivators of the Feint Squad.

At the moment the power of the Transmission Array spread out from the ground, Cao Tian had already escaped the range covered by the transmission power.

He looked back and happened to see the scene of everyone being transported away by the transmission power.

He couldn't help but shrink his neck, his scalp tingling.

It seems he has caused a huge disaster this time!

Just a moment ago.

He rushed underground, found the location of the Spirit Flame, and saw the true form of the Spirit Flame.

It was a gorgeous Spirit Flame that looked like a deep blue stream of water.

Just as he had first guessed, this Spirit Flame was placed at the center of an Array, acting as its core.

However.

Only when he attacked the Array, intending to break it and seize the Spirit Flame, did he realize.

On the periphery of this Array, a huge Transmission Array was also laid out.

This Transmission Array covered a range of over a hundred miles and had long been in a state of readiness.

While that Spirit Flame served as the core of the defensive Formation, it was also the key to activating the Transmission Array.

With just a slight stimulation from an external force, the Transmission Array would immediately activate.

When he entered the underground and saw the Spirit Flame, he was too excited and did not notice the Transmission Array at the first moment.

It was not until his power touched the Spirit Flame and the Transmission Array was triggered that he realized it.

The transmission power that instantly transported the entire Feint Squad away came precisely from that Transmission Array underground.

All of this was clearly arranged by someone.

It was a complete and utter conspiracy!

Although he did not know what was on the other end of the Transmission Array, he imagined it must be full of crises.

It might even be a dead zone!

With the Feint Squad transported inside, it is likely they will never return.

Thinking of this.

A feeling of being schemed against suddenly welled up in his heart.

That sense of frustration made his complexion turn livid.

However, while angry, he could not help but feel a sense of worry in his heart.

Because of his momentary negligence, he had implicated the entire Feint Squad.

If this matter were known to the other leaders, his crime would be grave indeed!

His expression shifted constantly, "No, I must never let the others in the team know about this."

At this moment, he actually hoped that the other end of the Transmission Array connected to a dead zone.

In that way, the entire Feint Squad would be wiped out.

And no one would know about the huge disaster he had caused.

Just at this time.

Nearly a hundred figures suddenly flew out from within Wenxian City.

His expression changed, and not daring to stay any longer, he flew away into the distance at top speed.

After Wang Jianqiang and the group of Cultivators from Wenxian City arrived outside the city, he waved his hand.

The Cultivators behind him stopped immediately.

"Master Wang, that person's strength is very high, why not take the opportunity to keep him here as well?"

Yin Xuan looked at Wang Jianqiang, a look of confusion flashing across his face.

Although that fleeing Out-of-Boundary Cultivator was strong, among them, there were not only three legendary Disciples of the Great Wilderness Immortal Palace, but also Master Wang.

He believed that if Master Wang wanted to keep the other party, it would not be difficult.

Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, looking at the figure gradually disappearing in the distance, a faint arc curling at the corners of his mouth.

Keep Cao Tian?

He was still counting on Cao Tian to exert more effort for him; wouldn't it be a waste to kill him?

Afterward, he landed on the ground.

He beckoned with his palm.

The earth in front of him split open with a 'Crack!' sound.

A cluster of gorgeous deep blue flames slowly floated out from the bottomless crack in the ground.

He grabbed toward the deep blue flame, and the Spirit Flame slowly approached, hovering above his palm; with a thought, he re-imprinted his Soul Imprint into it.

Everyone looked at the brilliant flame that seemed to be held as easily as a toy in Wang Jianqiang's hand, and expressions of awe appeared on their faces.

Although this flame appeared harmless in Wang Jianqiang's hand, it had previously withstood two attacks from the Outside the Realm Army, and its power was astonishing!

……

After fleeing Wenxian City, Cao Tian still did not dare to slow down.

He flew at full speed the entire way.

Not long after.

He finally returned to the main force, panting for breath.

"Daoist Friend Cao, why have you returned?"

Qingshui and the others saw Cao Tian return alone, and expressions of doubt appeared on their faces.

Seeing the expressions of Qingshui and the others, Cao Tian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed the Feint Squad had not sent back any information.

In that case, there was only one explanation.

And that was……

The other end of the Transmission Array must be connected to a place of death.

The entire Feint Squad had perished the moment they were teleported away, not even having time to send out a message.

Cao Tian felt fortunate in his heart, but on the surface, he revealed a look of grief.

"Fellow Daoist Friends, the feint team... is gone!!"

Hearing Cao Tian's words, everyone present could not help but be stunned.

A moment later.

Several Leaders looked at Cao Tian simultaneously, their expressions grave as they said, "Daoist Friend Cao, this joke is not funny at all."

Cao Tian shook his head and sighed, "Cao does not dare to joke with you fellow Daoist Friends."

"We fell for a trick by Wenxian City; of the thousand-man squad, I am the only one who luckily escaped back."

"The others..."

"Have all perished!"

Hearing Cao Tian's voice, which carried a sense of earnestness and deep sorrow, the expressions of the several Leaders finally changed.

Their bodies swayed, and they nearly fell to the ground.

These were over a thousand heaven-gifted talents!

In total, there were only a little over four thousand people on this expedition.

Although the losses of the previous Elite Squad and the first hundred-man Feint Squad were not small, they could not be considered a crippling blow.

But this loss of a thousand people was a full quarter of their total number!

To think they were just gone like that!

This news was so explosive that it took everyone a good while to gradually come to their senses.

They raised the doubts in their hearts to Cao Tian.

"Daoist Friend Cao, what exactly happened?"

"The feint team this time was so powerful, how could it be wiped out? How could Wenxian City possibly have such strength?"

Hearing the inquiries of the crowd, Cao Tian seemed to recall some unbearable memory, and a look of frustration flashed across his face.

"With the power of Wenxian City, if we had confronted them head-on, they naturally would have been unable to do anything to us."

"But Wenxian City is too insidious and cunning."

"They actually set up a massive Transmission Array underground outside Wenxian City, and used special means to conceal it, blinding our perception."

"Then they used the Spirit Flame as bait..."

"Cao's self-control is passable..."

"But Daoist Friend Leimeng could not resist the temptation of the Spirit Flame; ignoring Cao's advice, he insisted on entering the underground to seize the Spirit Flame, inadvertently triggering the Transmission Array..."

"Given the style of Wenxian City, the place connected to that Transmission Array must be a place of death."

"Fortunately, Cao had good luck; I was at the edge of the Transmission Array's coverage area and reacted quickly enough, which is how I luckily escaped the range of the teleportation power."

"But the others were not so lucky; they were all teleported away..."
