Chapter 123: There Are No Useless Mystic Arts
The sensation of being teleported through his self-designed law fragments was a lot nastier than he could have predicted. It felt like having his limbs stretched till they were about to be ripped off. Even his internal organs felt like they were about to tear their way out of his body.
With an added bonus, the dizziness stemming from teleportation seemed to have gone up a notch or two.
Finally feeling the hard ground beneath his feet, Han Xuhan shook his head violently and looked around.
The three of them had landed in a heap in the middle of a grove. The clearing was very familiar. This was the place where they had discovered the portal leading to the Holy Land!
There was a clothed skeleton standing right next to them. The grove was surrounded by dozens of cultivators, all of whom were ready for combat, by the looks of it. Swords, arrows, and qi were primed to cut them down.
"Wh-who the hell are you? Why did the three of you appear when we were trying to drag my master Shen Kai out of the world fragment?"
The skeleton, who recovered from the surprise much faster than anyone else, asked in a panicked manner.
Good acting, Zhanxian!
Han Xuhan exclaimed inwardly. Due to the lack of skin, nerves, and muscles, nobody could read the skeleton’s facial expressions or body language that would give away that he was pretending to be shocked.
Zhanxian could lie and fool even the most seasoned interrogators because of this. And that skill manifested beautifully right now.
Mu Ran and Xuanyuan Zhou were still bound together with Han Xuhan. During the sudden teleportation, they had felt an odd and terrifying power gluing them together. Every inch of their bodies that were in contact with each other made them feel like all three of them had merged into one body.
