Celestial 'War God' Return

Chapter 397: A Teleportation Formation

The further they moved into the forest, the more formations blocked their path, and the more wild beasts attacked them.

Tang Xiao’s clone didn’t use his void element to protect them, which was due to Shangguan Qingyue’s presence by their side. Besides, Mu Qingge, Chen Hongde, and Su Xiulan were quite skilled in combat, so he felt no urgency to use it.

Tang Xiao’s clone also didn’t summon atropos glory; instead, he used double swords that he took from the treasure vault in the Primordial Divine Ark before they arrived at the Canglan Realm. As for his elements, he only used his fire and wind elements, but his action was quite surprising for Shangguan Qingyue.

Shangguan Qingyue wanted to ask Tang Xiao’s clone, but she was still angry with him, and she was too proud to do that. In the end, she didn’t ask anything and focused on fighting all the beasts that stood in their way.

*Slash*

*Splurt*

"Be careful." Tang Xiao’s clone warned them after he killed a black tiger beast. "The formations ahead are getting more numerous, and I’m having more and more trouble finding a gap in them. Thus, you guys shouldn’t move rashly, lest you get caught in one of them."

"Roger!" Mu Qingge, Chen Hongde, and Su Xiulan responded.

The furious Shangguan Qingyue didn’t listen to Tang Xiao’s clone; she moved quickly forward, and she suddenly disappeared from their sight.

"Shit!" Tang Xiao’s clone cursed as he stopped the other three. "A teleportation formation! It will transport us to a random place, but the destination should still be in this forest."

Chen Hongde could only shake his head. "Shangguan Qingyue never changed, and she was too easily controlled by her anger."

"I never liked that woman, but I can’t let her die in this forest. If she dies while on a mission with us, the Shangguan Clan will blame us for her death." Su Xiulan sighed.

Mu Qingge looked at Tang Xiao’s clone. "Can you track her down, husband?"

"At first, I could lead you through those formations because they were sparse in number, but the formations ahead were simply too numerous, so I couldn’t track her." Tang Xiao’s clone opened the map, but it didn’t show the names of other people, and he could see countless beasts there. "That woman is like a female cockroach, so she won’t die that easily."

"Hahaha," Su Xiulan laughed out loud, holding her stomach with both hands. "Junior Brother Tang, Shangguan Qingyue will definitely be even more furious if she hears you compare her to a female cockroach, and she might bite you to death."

Tang Xiao’s clone shrugged his shoulders in response to Su Xiulan, as he didn’t care about Shangguan Qingyue’s opinion. "Let’s move now! We have to move slowly and not rush, or we will be trapped in other formations."

"Why don’t we enter that teleportation formation, husband?" Mu Qingge pointed at the formation that sent Shangguan Qingyue away earlier.

Tang Xiao’s clone shook his head. "This teleportation formation will send people to random locations, so our chances of arriving at Shangguan Qingyue’s location are uncertain."

"What if we enter the formation together, Junior Brother Tang? If we enter together, it should send us to the same place, right?" Chen Hongde expressed his opinion.

"It might be right, but it might also be wrong." Tang Xiao’s clone first discussed the plan with Xiao Ai. "Let’s try it! We have to hold hands, and we have to enter at the same time, so we won’t be separated."

Tang Xiao’s clone and Chen Hongde held their respective women’s hands, with Mu Qingge and Su Xiulan holding hands in the middle of them. After they were ready, they entered the teleportation formation at the same time.

The next moment they opened their eyes, they arrived in a fairly large area with sparse trees. Tang Xiao’s clone found a few beasts there, but he couldn’t find anyone else. "Phew! Luckily, we actually arrived at the same place, so we don’t have to worry about each other’s safety."

Mu Qingge, Chen Hongde, and Su Xiulan agreed with Tang Xiao’s clone. However, they couldn’t find Shangguan Qingyue in that area, and they couldn’t find another teleportation formation there. Besides, the sun was already setting, and the darkness of night in the forest would make it difficult for them to find her, which made them feel uneasy.

Tang Xiao’s clone spoke to them again. "I know the three of you are worried about Shangguan Qingyue, but it will be difficult for us to move once night falls. Besides, she is a member of the Song royal family, and I’m sure she has some artifact protection to protect her, so you don’t need to worry too much about her."

"You’re right about that." Chen Hongde breathed a sigh of relief. "Shangguan Qingyue is the beloved daughter of the current patriarch of the Shangguan Clan, so he gave her many protective artifacts."

Su Xiulan looked around them. "Are we going to camp here tonight?"

"We have no other choice because it will be night soon, and there are many strong beasts outside this area, so we will spend the night here." Tang Xiao looked for a water source but couldn’t find any. "Unfortunately, there are no springs or rivers around this area, so we can’t bathe."

"Haha," Su Xiulan softly laughed. "Even though we can’t bathe, we can cleanse our bodies with qi, and we only need to change our clothes."

Tang Xiao’s clone and Chen Hongde nodded. "You two clean your bodies and change into your dresses, and we will protect you both from here."

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Shangguan Qingyue arrived in front of a small wooden hut in one of the forest areas, but she could not find anyone there.

Shangguan Qingyue went into the small wooden hut to check, but the hut was in terrible shape, as if it had been abandoned for a long time. The inside was littered with debris, and there were a table and two broken wooden chairs. She also saw a piece of a dull red woman’s dress hanging on one of the walls, making her think that the owner of the place was once a woman.

Shangguan Qingyue approached the dress, brushed off the dust, and rubbed it. Although the dress was old and dirty, she could tell that it was made from expensive materials. "How could such an expensive dress be in a place like this? Who was the woman who used to live in this hut? This dress indicates that the woman came from a prominent clan like my Shangguan Clan, but I’ve never heard of a woman from those clans disappearing."

After thinking about it, Shangguan Qingyue decided to take the red dress and store it in her storage ring. She didn’t know the identity of its owner, but she was certain her parents knew something about that woman, so she wanted to bring the dress back.

Shangguan Qingyue came out of the hut and looked up at the sky, sighing softly as it grew dark.

"Damn it! I got separated from my team because of that scoundrel! If I see him again, I’m going to beat him up!"

Since she was alone, Shangguan Qingyue tried to make a campfire herself because the night temperature was quite cold, and she didn’t want to waste her qi in vain just to warm herself.

"Sigh! Luckily, I don’t hear any beast sounds in this area, so I should be safe spending the night alone here."

Despite several failures, Shangguan Qingyue finally managed to build a small campfire. She carefully scanned the area, wanting to change her dress, which had been stained with beast blood. Once she was sure the situation was safe, she hurriedly removed her dress and cleaned herself. After she finished, she sat beside the campfire and tried to contact Mu Qingge and Su Xiulan, but her efforts were fruitless.

Shangguan Qingyue let out a heavy sigh, supported her head with both hands, and stared at the campfire.

"In my entire life, this is the first time I’ve spent the night alone in the forest. I have to admit, it’s not bad, and I feel much calmer without those noisy people around."

Shangguan Qingyue raised an eyebrow slightly as she suddenly remembered Tang Xiao’s clone. She instinctively shook her head to get rid of the image of him, but instead she remembered him even more.

"Tch! I have to admit that scoundrel is quite handsome, but he is too uncivilized and perverted." Shangguan Qingyue hugged her legs and propped her head on her knees. "Hmm? As long as that pervert is beside Mu Qingge, I will never be able to get close to her, and I will never be able to get rid of her. She is actually a good woman, but I want her husband, and I don’t want to share a man with other women."

On the snow mountain.

Tang Xiao and his group were getting closer to the mountain peak. Looking at the map, their location wasn’t far from the ice cave, and they could reach it by morning.

Tang Xiao also checked Mo Bing’s location, and he found that he had almost arrived at the foot of the mountain. Since the distance from the foot of the mountain and the mountain peak required two days of travel, he was confident that he could retrieve the Frost Ice Lily before the demon woman returned. However, he did not dare to do it rashly, as he suspected that the female demon had already laid a trap in the ice cave.

Since it was getting dark, Tang Xiao asked everyone to rest first, and he protected them with his void element like the previous night. "We’ll arrive at the ice cave tomorrow morning, but we must be careful and not move rashly, or we’ll fall into the female demon’s trap."
