Chapter 239: Teleportation Array

"There's a secret passage below—why didn't you mention it sooner?" Xi Men Mei blinked, then burst into joy.

"I'm not certain if there's a secret passage below, but I'm sure something's down there." Wang Yu stared at the white floor tiles, speaking gravely.

"If that's the case, why not just open it and see?" Xi Men Mei said without hesitation.

"That's true. I'll first try breaking this floor with brute force—sister, please step back." Wang Yu nodded.

Hearing this, Xi Men Mei stepped back beyond the circular pattern on the ground.

Wang Yu exhaled deeply; a white mist surged from his mouth, swelling his upper body by another full circle, tearing open his upper garments and revealing a vivid tiger-head pattern on his back, while golden mist rolled over his skin and coiled into intricate golden arm guards.

He let out a low roar.

His two arms thickened instantly, and he slammed both fists down onto the floor tiles.

"Boom!" "Boom!" Two thunderous crashes.

The white tiles sank inward and shattered over a large area.

Wang Yu's heart leapt with joy—but before he could strike again, a faint silver spiritual pattern flickered across the cracked tiles, and the ground restored itself instantly.

"There are seals beneath the ground too."

Wang Yu was startled, but a flash of cold light passed through his eyes; he shook his shoulders, and his arms vanished.

The next instant, piercing shrieks erupted from the surrounding air.

Countless pale golden fist shadows surged above the white tiles, hammering the same spot like a machine gun.

"Boom—boom—boom!" A continuous roar of impacts.

The entire white surface sank downward, forming a deep pit.

The tiles within the pit shattered into fragments, revealing a set of white stone steps descending into the earth.

Wang Yu rejoiced and was about to leap in—when a rolling wave of silver spiritual patterns swept across the pit's surface, and the ground restored itself once more.

This…

This time, Wang Yu's face truly paled.

"I've seen this kind of array seal before. Let me try—perhaps I can temporarily isolate the seal." Xi Men Mei, having also spotted the staircase below, suddenly spoke up.

"Sister can break this array?" Wang Yu blinked in surprise.

"Of course I can't break the array."

"But this array clearly has no one to control it. If it's just a single seal within the array, I might try using a seal-breaking technique." Xi Men Mei sounded uncertain, as if she was merely testing the waters.

"Alright, sister, go ahead—I'll assist from the side." Wang Yu replied without hesitation, stepping back, while already preparing to fully activate his Black Tiger Fiend Body and unleash even greater brute force if needed.

Xi Men Mei pulled out several array plates from her robes, fiddling with them as she bent down to examine the surrounding ground.

She kept glancing around, then looked upward, placing the plates haphazardly—here, there, nowhere discernible in pattern.

Yet Xi Men Mei's expression grew grave, adjusting the plates' positions repeatedly.

Wang Yu watched for a while, understanding nothing at all, and sighed inwardly—array arts were truly profound.

But he noticed that on her finger, a faint black ring had appeared—ordinary-looking, yet whenever she placed the plates, she always turned the ring slightly.

This stirred something in Wang Yu's mind.

After a full fifteen minutes, she finished arranging them, then formed a single hand seal and pointed at each plate.

"Hum."

All the plates began to hum and vibrate; white threads of light shot between them, linking together in moments to form a massive white luminous pattern that flashed downward and vanished into the ground.

"Brother Wang, try striking the ground again," Xi Men Mei said to Wang Yu.

Wang Yu walked over, drew a breath, and punched down.

A loud crash—the ground cracked again, forming a small pit—but a swirl of silver spiritual patterns returned it to its original state.

Xi Men Mei frowned, instinctively turned her black ring half a turn, pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and slightly repositioned one of the plates.

She gestured to Wang Yu again.

Without a word, Wang Yu unleashed two rapid consecutive punches.

This time, the ground shattered with a crash—and no silver spiritual pattern flickered back.

"It worked!"

Wang Yu rejoiced; without waiting for Xi Men Mei's cue, he shook his shoulders, and his arms vanished amid piercing shrieks.

Countless golden fist shadows hammered the ground like a machine gun.

Large swaths of white tiles turned to dust; a deep pit formed, and beneath it, another set of white stone steps emerged.

Wang Yu and Xi Men Mei exchanged glances, both bursting with joy.

"Sister, how long will your seal-breaking technique last?" Wang Yu asked quickly.

"Don't worry—this seal-breaking method is my master's unique skill. It'll last at least an hour," Xi Men Mei replied without hesitation, clearly understanding his concern.

"An hour is enough. Let's move quickly—we must find a way out before the time runs out." Wang Yu relaxed slightly, flipped his hand, and a bone shield appeared in his grasp; he stepped forward first.

After a brief hesitation, Xi Men Mei followed him down.

This stone staircase was unexpectedly short; the ceiling was embedded with unknown luminous crystals, making the passage brightly lit.

After just over a hundred meters, the two arrived at a stone chamber with its door wide open.

The chamber was only fifty to sixty square meters; apart from a stone platform occupying nearly half the floor, everything else was empty.

Both their gazes naturally fell upon the platform.

The platform stood half a zhang tall, circular, surrounded by three green prismatic pillars, each engraved with dense white spiritual runes, forming a perfect circle that encircled the platform.

The platform's surface was also covered in dense white spiritual symbols, emitting a faint spiritual glow, appearing profoundly mysterious.

"Teleportation Array."

Xi Men Mei glanced at the platform for only a moment, then exclaimed in shock.

"Teleportation Array."

Hearing this, Wang Yu turned to look at her.

"Yes—a teleportation array can directly transport people across void space. But such arrays are extremely difficult to set up, and the void crystals required are incredibly rare—even our Four Symbols Sect doesn't possess one." Xi Men Mei explained briefly, then hurried to the platform's side, studying its runes closely.

"So if we activate this teleportation array, we can leave here," Wang Yu murmured.
