Han You was dumbfounded.
The wine jug in his hand fell to the ground instinctively.
Before he could even react, a man in white robes had already taken a seat on the small bench at the table next to him.
"Waiter, bring me some wine!"
The man in white robes shouted.
The shout startled Han You so much that he nearly lost control of his bladder.
His teeth chattered violently.
The person before him was none other than the mysterious "whoosh" from the mountains.
Before descending the mountain, he had once caught a glimpse of this "whoosh" figure from afar, along with Lin Youwei and others.
Instantly, his scalp tingled with fear.
His nerves, which had just begun to relax, were now stretched to their limit.
Suppressing the scream that almost escaped his throat, he bolted toward the central hub of Array Heaven City.
At the central hub of Array Heaven City.
Chen Xianxuan and several other royal-grade array masters were discussing how to refine a living array core when Han You burst in with a loud crash.
Without a word, Han You pointed outside, his hand trembling, and stuttered, "Elder, the whoosh…"
Han You's sudden intrusion immediately drew everyone's attention.
Chen Xianxuan frowned, his tone filled with displeasure as he scolded, "What kind of behavior is this? Speak quickly. What happened that made you dare to barge into a meeting of the elders?"
"Elder, the whoosh, the whoosh!"
Han You stammered incoherently, pointing outside with a shaky hand.
"What whoosh are you talking about?"
Chen Xianxuan was about to continue reprimanding him when something suddenly clicked in his mind. With a "teng" sound, he sprang to his feet like a coiled spring.
"You mean the whoosh?"
"Yes, Elder Chen. I just saw him in a tavern in the city," Han You shouted.
"Are you sure you didn't mistake him for someone else?"
Chen Xianxuan's eyes widened as he questioned.
"Absolutely certain," Han You replied. "He's still sitting there right now."
The other elders, who had initially been puzzled, finally realized what the "whoosh" referred to and stood up in disbelief.
"He actually came to Array Heaven City?"
"This place is millions of miles away from the Tianlan Mountains. Without a teleportation array, even a True Immortal at the tenth level shouldn't be able to reach Array Heaven City at this time!"
"What on earth is going on?"
The elders couldn't help but murmur among themselves.
"Exactly, that's why I came to inform you," Han You said urgently. "When we saw him in the mountains, we rushed back immediately. We didn't waste a single moment using the teleportation array, and even then, we only arrived in Array Heaven City an hour ago. But now, he's already here. Isn't that strange?"
"Could it be that he knows about our teleportation array and used it too?"
"That's impossible. Our teleportation array is protected by countless formations. No matter how powerful he is, he shouldn't be able to activate it," another elder retorted.
"Enough. Let's not speculate about how he got here so quickly. Han You, take us to see him first."
Chen Xianxuan ordered.
"Alright, this way. Follow me."
Han You hurriedly led the way.
Chen Xianxuan and the other royal-grade array masters quickly followed.
Soon, they arrived on the main street.
"Remember, be discreet. Don't make it obvious."
Chen Xianxuan, acting like a thief, put a finger to his lips and whispered a reminder.
Everyone nodded in understanding.
They all knew that in the presence of such a powerful figure, even the slightest hint of deliberate observation could alert him.
The group casually strolled down the street, their eyes occasionally glancing toward Yi Feng, who was drinking.
"That's not the point. The point is, why is he in Array Heaven City?"
They communicated through voice transmission while pretending to pass by.
Meanwhile, Yi Feng was still leisurely drinking his wine. Suddenly, he set down his cup.
He checked his storage ring, then patted his chest, his expression darkening.
"Dammit, I forgot to bring money again."
Yi Feng cursed under his breath, then called out to the waiter, "Waiter, I forgot to bring money. Don't clear my table. I'll go back and get some. I'll be back soon."
"Also, bring me another plate of beef…"
The waiter smiled, as Yi Feng was a regular customer.
After speaking to the waiter, Yi Feng walked into a nearby alley and, in the blink of an eye, headed back toward the mountains.
Chen Xianxuan and the others, who had been secretly observing, were stunned.
They all froze in place.
After a long silence, Chen Xianxuan blinked and couldn't help but mutter, "It really is the whoosh."
"Uh, Elder Chen, can you only say 'whoosh' too?"
Han You couldn't help but ask.
Chen Xianxuan shot him a glare and snapped, "You're only at the first level of True Immortal. Do you think I'm not at the first level too?"
Han You lowered his head in embarrassment, remembering that while Chen Xianxuan was a royal-grade array master, his true cultivation level was only at the first level of True Immortal, as he had devoted his life to studying arrays.
Chen Xianxuan waved his hand and hurried toward the tavern.
"Waiter, what did that young man just say to you?" Chen Xianxuan asked, handing over a piece of immortal crystal with a smile.
"Oh, he forgot to bring money and said he'd go back to get some. He also told me not to clear his table and to bring him another plate of beef," the waiter replied, weighing the immortal crystal in his hand.
Chen Xianxuan and the others blinked in confusion, completely baffled.
Go back to get money?
Could it be that this person usually lives in Array Heaven City?
But that doesn't make sense.
Han You clearly said that this person had been frequently seen in the Tianlan Mountains before.
Could he be going back to the Tianlan Mountains to get money?
That's even more impossible.
If he went back to the Tianlan Mountains to get money, even using a teleportation array, by the time he returned, the food would be cold. And he even asked for another plate of beef? That's just absurd.
Just as Chen Xianxuan and the others were lost in speculation, a light suddenly flashed from the storage ring on Chen Xianxuan's hand.
He took it out and found it was a message from Lin Youwei in the Tianlan Mountains.
"Master, that mysterious person has appeared again. He just flew over our heads once more."
Chen Xianxuan was stunned for a moment, then let out a sharp "gah" of surprise.
At the same time, the jade slip in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
