In the middle of the square stood a towering stone platform. At its center, a massive, ten-zhang-wide, pitch-black void slowly rotated, continuously overflowing with astonishing spatial power.
On their way to the square, Luo Cheng had subtly tried to probe Xiao Tian's background.
However, Xiao Tian had vaguely fended him off. Then, with Xiao Tian's subtle guidance, Luo Cheng secretly gave up the idea of continuing to ask questions.
The group slowly descended to about twenty meters above the spatial wormhole.
By this time, the spatial wormhole had already been cleared, and many guards from the Luo Family were maintaining order.
After landing, the Amethyst Winged Lion King transformed into the appearance of a purple-haired, middle-aged strong man.
Luo Cheng's eyes flickered several times. He secretly thought, A sixth-tier magical beast transforming into human form must have consumed a seventh-grade Transformation Pill.
He regained his composure and said with a smile, Young Master Xiao, this is our destination, but it is getting late. Why do not you rest at our Luo Family for the night and depart tomorrow?
No need, we will depart now, Xiao Tian said indifferently.
Looking at the spatial wormhole still operating normally, he secretly thought, As expected, only the Son of Destiny will encounter unfortunate events.
Originally, for this departure, Xiao Tian had asked Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan had no intention of leaving now because Yao Lao was going to give him special training.
Xiao Tian had no objections to Xiao Yan's choice.
It was too uncomfortable to act alongside the Son of Destiny. Clowns who did not know their place would jump out to mock him at every turn, or he would encounter unpleasant things.
Although this wormhole would only break in about two years, if Xiao Yan were present and it broke prematurely, he would have to expend effort to fix it, and he genuinely did not care for the compensation.
Grandpa, why did you come out of seclusion? a slightly spoiled and surprised female voice suddenly rang out in the square.
Xiao Tian and the others turned around to see a young woman in a red, tight-fitting outfit walking over from outside, followed by two Dou Huang-level elders behind her, who looked like her bodyguards.
The red-clad woman quickly ran to Luo Cheng, hugged his arm, and affectionately said, Grandpa, what are you doing here?
It is Little Yao, Luo Cheng said with a chuckle, patting Luo Xiaoyao's head. Grandpa is entertaining distinguished guests here. Come, let me introduce you. This is Young Master Xiao Tian.
Young Master Xiao, this is my granddaughter, Luo Xiaoyao.
Luo Xiaoyao's eyes instantly lit up when she saw Xiao Tian's handsome appearance and refined demeanor. Coupled with her grandfather's serious tone, she feigned a ladylike posture and performed a bow.
Xiao Tian also returned the greeting with a smile.
Xiao Tian was not particularly interested in the Luo Xiaoyao in front of him. She was just a spoiled young lady, the kind who looked down on everyone.
When Luo Cheng saw his granddaughter's behavior, his eyes narrowed slightly. It was the first time she had acted like this, and a subtle smile played on his lips.
Can we activate it now? Xiao Tian did not intend to waste time on meaningless chatter here and looked at Luo Cheng, asking.
Of course. I have already arranged everything. This time, it will be activated specially for you, Luo Cheng emphasized, wanting to win Xiao Tian's favor.
Then I will trouble you, Xiao Tian said with a faint smile.
Luo Cheng also nodded slightly, taking out a palm-sized wooden boat from his storage ring. On the wooden boat, faint silver light shimmered intermittently.
This is a spatial boat, a tool used in spatial wormholes. Its cost is extremely high. Each one costs over a million. Consider this our Luo Family's apology for previously offending you.
Xiao Tian waved his hand. It is fine. It was their duty before. We have this item, so there is no need.
With that, Xiao Tian also took out a wooden boat. This one looked to be of much better quality than the one in Luo Cheng's hand.
Aside from the principle of not accepting favors without merit, when Xiao Tian saw the spatial boat in Luo Cheng's hand, he wondered if it was the unlucky boat given to Xiao Yan in the original story.
Alright then, how about letting Little Yao accompany you? She is more familiar with the spatial wormhole and the destination, and she can also act as your guide.
Luo Cheng directly played his trump card, offering his granddaughter, also wanting to use her to see if he could establish a connection.
The Xiao Tian in front of him was not only incredibly strong and had a mysterious background, but his appearance was also top-notch. He had lived for so long and had never seen such a handsome and refined man.
Luo Xiaoyao, however, did not refuse. Her eyes constantly stole glances at Xiao Tian's face as usual.
No need, that would be too much trouble for the young lady, and I am not used to having a woman accompany me, Xiao Tian said. He naturally knew what the other party was thinking and refused without hesitation.
Zi Yao, who was beside him, also had a strange look in his eyes when he heard Xiao Tian's words.
His master had already made it clear yesterday that he had several mistresses.
He glanced at Luo Xiaoyao in front of him. She was far inferior to his mistresses. No wonder his master had no interest.
Alright then, Young Master Xiao, if you have time in the future, you can come to our Tian Ya City, and we will definitely welcome you with open arms.
I will, if I have the chance. Xiao Tian nodded lightly and said to Zi Yao behind him, Let us go!
Yes, Master!
After Zi Yao responded, he stepped into the spatial wormhole first to act as a pathfinder.
Xiao Tian also slowly walked toward the entrance of the spatial wormhole.
Watching the two figures disappear, Luo Cheng sighed slightly and said, What a terrifying young man. I just do not know which force's genius he is.
Grandpa, you do not know their identities either? Luo Xiaoyao only recovered her senses after watching Xiao Tian disappear and asked her grandfather.
Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, looking at his granddaughter beside him. What, you have fallen for someone else?
I, I, I have not! Clearly, Grandpa, you wanted to sell your granddaughter! Luo Xiaoyao's cheeks flushed slightly, and she pouted a little.
He is not simple. In fact, your Grandpa, I have a feeling that killing me would be effortless for him, Luo Cheng said with a complex expression, secretly rejoicing that he had appeared early. If they had become enemies, his Luo Family would probably be gone.
After giving simple instructions to the surrounding guards, Luo Cheng took Luo Xiaoyao and left.
***
After Xiao Tian and Zi Yao entered the wormhole, a peculiar spatial passage appeared in their line of sight.
Before them was an endless spatial passage. On both sides of the passage were faint silver spatial barriers, and within the spatial wall was a passage about ten zhang long. At the end of the passage lay a profound darkness.
The entire passage was utterly silent, with no sound or sign of life.
Xiao Tian took out the spatial boat. As soon as it was taken out, the spatial boat instantly enlarged, transforming into a boat several zhang long and wide. On the surface of the boat, faint silver spatial power flowed back and forth.
It was Zi Yao's first time seeing a spatial boat, and he could not help but smack his lips. This thing is truly amazing. No wonder it sells for so much.
