Xu Xiaotian asked, How long will it take to repair this formation?

Dont worry, young master. Ill definitely be able to repair the teleportation formation within half a year,

Guard Cui swore.

That long?

Xu Xiaotian frowned.

He knew nothing about formations and could not help much.

Su Zimo looked at the green stone for a while before turning around. He looked at Guard Cui and said indifferently, 20 days is enough to repair this green stone.

Actually, the number that Su Zimo mentioned was even a little conservative.

He did not understand the formation patterns of teleportation formations.

If he knew the formation patterns of the teleportation formation like the back of his hands, he would be able to repair the green stone in ten days!

You

Guard Cui blushed and straightened his neck, wanting to argue. However, he felt guilty when Su Zimo looked at him and said weakly, Do you know about formations?

A little,

Su Zimos gaze was burning as he said resolutely, Give me 20 days and I can repair the formation patterns of this teleportation formation!

Xu Xiaotian glared at Guard Cui angrily and shouted, How dare you lie to me!

Guard Cui was sweating profusely with a fl.u.s.tered expression as he explained hurriedly, Young master, please calm down. The half a year I mentioned was just in case. Under normal circ.u.mstances, it wont take half a year.

Dont worry, young master. Ill definitely do my best to repair the teleportation formation within 20 days.

Xu Xiaotian said in a deep voice, If the teleportation formation cant be activated after 20 days, youll be guilty of dereliction of duty!

Y-Yes!

Guard Cui arched his body and nodded repeatedly.

Brother Su, lets go,

Xu Xiaotian called out.

Su Zimo stood motionlessly in deep thought.

Thinking that Su Zimo was a little disappointed, Xu Xiaotian consoled him, Brother Su, dont worry. Ill prepare a room for you and you can settle down first. Itll only be 20 days and itll be over in the blink of an eye.

Theres no need,

Suddenly, Su Zimo waved it off. Ill guard here.

Stunned for a moment, Xu Xiaotian quickly understood and asked, Brother Su, are you worried that Liu Tong will return and destroy the teleportation formation again?

Su Zimo shook his head and did not explain.

What Xu Xiaotian said was only one of the reasons.

Su Zimo was thinking about something else.

Liu Tongs method of destroying the teleportation formation was not brilliant. In fact, it could not even be considered as a scheme. At most, it would only delay him for 20 days.

What was Liu Tongs intention?

Was it just to vent his frustrations?

Su Zimo was worried that something else might happen within the next 20 days.

Of course, it would be best if there was nothing.

If he stayed here, he could also make use of this opportunity to learn how to master the formation patterns of teleportation formations.

From now on, even without help, he could activate the teleportation formations in the major cities himself.

Brother Su, Ill accompany you,

Xu Xiaotian patted his chest and declared loyally.

At the side, Guard Cui lamented internally.

He did not dare to slack off under Xu Xiaotians watch and could only repair the teleportation formation with all his might.

Su Zimo began to learn the formation patterns of the teleportation formation as well.

Teleportation formations were relatively common in the upper world.

Given his attainments in formations, it was not difficult for him to comprehend and master those formation patterns.

Time pa.s.sed bit by bit. For the next few days, the City Lords residence and Dragon Abyss City were the same as usual.

Liu Tong did not appear again.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had pa.s.sed and the teleportation formation was about to be repaired.

This day.

The City Lord, Xu s.h.i.+, appeared and called Su Zimo and Xu Xiaotian over. Liu Tong has sent an invitation. Hes holding a banquet at his residence today to invite the commanders and us.

Alright, Ill ask him why he destroyed the teleportation formation!

Xu Xiaotian was still indignant at the thought of that.

Xiaotian!

Xu s.h.i.+ frowned slightly. Theres no need to mention this again.

Xu Xiaotian pouted and remained silent.

Pondering for a moment, Su Zimo declined, City Lord, I have some grudges with Liu Tong and Im not familiar with the other commanders, so I wont be going.

Thats precisely the reason why you should attend the banquet,

Xu s.h.i.+ said, Liu Tong has set up the banquet today with the intention of easing the tension. Its best if theres no feud between you and him.

Su Zimo had a calm expression and thought nothing of it.

Once the teleportation formation was repaired, he would leave the Dragon Abyss Star and roam freelyso what if he had a feud with Liu Tong?!

To be fair, Su Zimo truly did not take Liu Tong seriously.

As though he could read Su Zimos mind, Xu s.h.i.+ shook his head gently. One of Liu Tongs senior brothers is in Green Cloud County. I heard that hes an Earth Immortal expert.

Su Zimo raised his brow slightly.

Xu s.h.i.+ said, Thats all I can remind you.

Su Zimo gradually understood.

Prior to this, Xu s.h.i.+ had always been tolerant towards Liu Tong. The one he was wary of should be Liu Tongs senior brother!

Xu s.h.i.+ was also reminding Su Zimo out of goodwill that there was no need to offend an Earth Immortal expert because of Liu Tong.

Su Zimo was silent for a moment. City Lord, pardon me for being presumptuous. Liu Tong is already a Grade 9 Black Immortal. Arent you worried that he will join forces with that Earth Immortal expert to replace you?

That statement was a little overboard.

If Xu s.h.i.+ were to fall out with Su Zimo on the spot, it would not be impossible for him to accuse Su Zimo of sowing discord.

However, in Su Zimos opinion, the timing of Liu Tongs banquet today was a little coincidentalit was probably not with good intentions!

Hahahaha!

Xu s.h.i.+ reared his head in laughter. Youre thinking too much. Im the City Lord appointed by the County Governor of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdoms Green Cloud County. If Liu Tong dares to attack me along with outsiders, hell be surrounded and killed by the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom!

Even Heaven Immortals, sects and factions must not go against the authority of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom, let alone Earth Immortals!

Xu Xiaotian asked worriedly, Will Liu Tong attack Brother Su at the banquet?

Dont worry,

Xu s.h.i.+ said, With me around, Su Zimo will be safe!

Su Zimo pondered for a moment and did not decline.

The three of them left the City Lords residence and arrived at Liu Tongs residence before long.

Xu s.h.i.+ was rather familiar with this commanders residence. He walked along the stone path and before long, he arrived before a grand hall.

The hall was a little empty.

There was only one person sitting in the middleLiu Tong.

Xu s.h.i.+ narrowed his eyes slightly.

Something was amiss!

The surroundings of the hall were way too quiet and there were no servants or maidservants.

Furthermore, under normal circ.u.mstances, all the commanders of Dragon Abyss City would be invited to this banquet. But now, there were only the three of them.

Could Liu Tong truly be harboring evil intentions?

Xu s.h.i.+ frowned.

Ever since Liu Tong advanced to a Grade 9 Black Immortal, the relations.h.i.+p between the two of them had changed subtly.

However, the two of them maintained their restraint and did not fall out.

He was the City Lord selected by the Green Cloud County Governor. Under normal circ.u.mstances, Liu Tong could not replace him.

Furthermore, he did not wish to get rid of Liu Tong either. There was no reason for him to offend the Earth Immortal expert backing Liu Tong because of that.
