But soon, Bai Linzhu frowned.
His instincts as a legion commander made him immediately begin to review the sudden encounter.
Bai Linzhu pondered everything that had just happened, quickly summarized the battle, and finally came to a shocking conclusion.
"Teleportation array... With the teleportation array deployed in advance, Oldman was able to arrive here so precisely, and even summon the sea beast again through the teleportation array."
He suddenly looked up, a sharp glint in his eyes:
"No wonder, no wonder the other holy seats could infiltrate the heart of the Central Plains so easily, like ghosts, without being detected. So that's where the problem lies!"
Bai Linzhu knew that in order to establish a stable channel of such scale that could cross continents, there must be a huge energy node and a complex array base in the Central Continent to support it!
This is by no means something that can be accomplished overnight, and it is even more impossible to bypass the tight border defense system silently!
There must be a mole! And a mole with considerable influence and a high position!
Only someone like this, acting as an inside agent in Zhongzhou, could have voluntarily "opened the door to thieves" with the help of both inside and outside forces, allowing the Holy See's teleportation array to open so smoothly.
"It seems that there are more and deeper traitors in Zhongzhou than we imagined!" Bai Linzhu's voice was like ice, filled with disappointment and chilling killing intent, as he guessed the reason.
Incredibly, someone in Zhongzhou, for their own selfish gain, was willing to let a wolf into the house and voluntarily "open the door," allowing an enemy capable of truly destroying Zhongzhou to enter.
This matter must be investigated, and it must be thoroughly investigated.
Such parasites must be eliminated as soon as possible; otherwise, those who dare to collude with the Holy See to set up teleportation arrays today might dare to release sea beasts into Zhongzhou tomorrow!
As her thoughts raced, Bai Linzhu recalled Li Yu's earth-shattering arrow and his almost crushing defeat.
He single-handedly suppressed and counter-killed both the sea monsters and werewolves, demonstrating individual strength comparable to that of a general from Zhongzhou.
Bai Linzhu couldn't help but turn to look at her younger sister, asking with a hint of disbelief, "Ruyu, are all your Star Lords as powerful as Li Yu?"
"No!" Bai Ruyu hurriedly shook her head.
She dared not make a judgment on the strength of other star lords, but at the very least, she herself did not possess the terrifying strength of Li Yu.
“As expected…” Bai Linzhu nodded silently, revealing an expression that made sense.
If all the Star Lords were this powerful, the Central Plains would have swept across the eight wastelands long ago, and the representatives of the Central Plains would be able to walk with their heads held high. There would be no need for such careful planning.
If everyone were as strong as Li Yu, after this Water Era, the entire world would probably truly belong to "Zhongzhou"!
However, Bai Ruyu's thoughts were not on Li Yu.
As a fellow water-element awakener, the fleeting glimpse she had just caught through the portal had deeply shaken her.
The water-based energy emanating from the girl opposite, though as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, possessed an indescribable purity.
The opponent's water-based abilities are definitely extraordinary.
These are qualities that ordinary water-type awakeners cannot possess!
It's important to understand that simply finding a few water-element awakeners isn't enough to maintain the water element she controls, let alone rebuild the teleportation channel when energy is depleted!
That girl's talent is anything but ordinary!
......
The other side of the portal.
The water elements that Fu Xiyao was struggling to maintain suddenly reacted, instantly condensing again and rapidly forming a high-speed rotating vortex.
A flash of blue light appeared in the water gate, and accompanied by ripples in the space, a figure suddenly stepped out from the surging water!
Li Yu is back!
As Li Yu, who had been missing for a long time, reappeared in front of everyone, Xiao Hei, who was taking a break nearby, was the first to notice its master's presence.
"Hercules—!"
With a cheerful neigh, Little Black came bounding over and affectionately nuzzled Li Yu with its large head.
There was no worry for Li Yu in its eyes, only the joy of being able to eat crystal cores again.
Xiao Hei believed in Li Yu even more than anyone else present. His horse-like face was full of the naturalness of Li Yu's return unharmed, and he had no doubt about Li Yu's strength at all.
"Li Yu!" When Fu Xiyao saw that familiar figure standing in front of her again, her tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and a huge joy and a sense of exhaustion came at the same time.
She instinctively tried to rush over, but her legs went weak as if filled with lead, and she collapsed uncontrollably due to exhaustion!
Li Yu reacted quickly, stepping forward in an instant and firmly embracing Fu Xiyao.
The azure portal behind them, now devoid of energy, vanished swiftly into the torrential rain like a phantom.
After Li Yu suddenly disappeared, Fu Xiyao immediately recognized the water element aura that her teacher had mentioned as the water portal that only high-level water element awakeners could use, based on the water element aura that had not yet dissipated.
Driven by that faint hope that Li Yu could return the way she came, she desperately tried to maintain the scattered water elements after Li Yu disappeared!
With her meager strength, she managed to keep the water element left behind by the portal alive until now.
Li Yu felt a mix of emotions as he held Fu Xiyao's weak body in his arms.
"Silly girl..." He gently patted Fu Xiyao's head, thinking she was too silly.
What if he doesn't come back today? How long can she hold on?
Although Li Yu's tone was full of reproach, it was precisely because of Fu Xiyao's insistence that he was able to return so smoothly and quickly. Otherwise, he would have been in serious trouble because of Bai Ruyu on this long journey across mountains and rivers.
Feeling the warmth from Li Yu's body, Fu Xiyao finally showed a hint of relaxation on her pale face.
