Chapter 873: A Husband Guards the Pass
"Fine, I’ll listen to you." Lin An followed Su Chengyu’s side and chose not to fly over. Instead, they walked towards the Teleportation Circle in Mist City.
Dawn was breaking, and the darkness of night was gradually fading. There were quite a few trialists in Mist City. Some had been teleported from other districts, while others were randomly teleported to the South District from the start. After surviving by a hair’s breadth, they had entered Mist City. Lacking the courage to venture further, they cultivated here while waiting for the right opportunity to attempt the ascent of the Ascending Heaven Tower.
Finally, Su Chengyu and Lin An arrived at the Teleportation Circle in the city center. However, next to the circle, a person was sitting cross-legged.
"Lin An, there’s someone sitting beside the Teleportation Circle. Right now, we don’t know if they’ll be a threat to us. If things really start to escalate, I’ll hold him off while you activate the circle and leave first. Go to Gumu City and wait for me," said Su Chengyu.
Su Chengyu handed Lin An a hundred Heavenly Pills, which were the currency of the Western District’s Teleportation Circle in the Kunwu Realm.
"Okay! Su Chengyu, be careful. I will be waiting for you in Gumu City. You must not let anything happen to you," Lin An responded.
Lin An was the fussy kind and was aware of his own limitations. Staying would only be a hindrance. So, he immediately accepted the Heavenly Pills.
Su Chengyu cracked a grin and said, "Don’t worry, my life is tough. I have many things left to do; I won’t die so easily."
After discussing their plan, they headed straight for the Teleportation Circle.
As expected, the seated person opened their eyes, gazing intently at Su Chengyu and Lin An.
This individual had a light beard on his lower jaw. By his looks, he appeared to be around thirty, with a sharp gaze that sent shivers down one’s spine.
