A technologically powerful nation: The national treasure is actually myself.

"So? Can this teleportation array be repaired?"

Watching Lin Yang inspect the damaged teleportation array, Cheng Fu couldn't help but ask.

Lin Yang frowned: "To be honest, it's not easy to repair. The damage is quite severe, and we lack the necessary materials."

The chaotic battle within the city caused considerable damage to the teleportation array.

With his current level of magic array skill, repairing it would be extremely troublesome.

As for the missing materials, they are actually relatively easy to obtain.

After all, there are hardly any living people left in the city. Although most of the goods in the shops were destroyed in the chaos, they should be able to be gathered together if you search around.

"As long as there's hope of it being fixed, that's good enough," Cheng Fu said in a low voice.

"Let's go find some materials first." Lin Yang looked around at the ruins.

The shops are now all ownerless and can be taken or sold at will.

However, just as they were preparing to search for materials, Lin Yang suddenly changed his expression, immediately concealed himself, and switched to telepathic communication:
"somebody is coming."

Cheng Fu was startled: "Who is it? Are there other people in the city?"

Lin Yang shook his head and didn't say anything more.

Soon, five or six figures came into view.

Judging from their attire, they were clearly from the Tiankun Sect.

Moreover, the person in charge was Pan Yuan.

"It's actually that old bastard Pan Yuan. He didn't lose control and even brought people here." Lin Yang was surprised.

It's unclear what Pan Yuan and his men wanted to do here at this time.

But soon, he knew.

Pan Yuan led several disciples straight to the teleportation array, then inspected it, and after the inspection, he said:

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, it can still be repaired."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yang immediately understood that Pan Yuan had also come to repair the teleportation array.

This old thing is actually a magic array master too!

"It seems this old guy also wants to try to repair the teleportation array and see if he can leave this place through it." Lin Yang understood Pan Yuan's purpose.

With this discovery, he became even more careful to hide himself and Cheng Fu.

Since that old fellow Pan Yuan is helping to repair the teleportation array, he doesn't need to bother.

Instead of searching for materials, Pan Yuan took out a large amount of materials from his spatial ring and began to repair the damaged teleportation array.

Clearly, they had made ample preparations before they arrived.

The disciples stood guard around the area, and after Pan Yuan took out the materials, he began to repair the teleportation array.

However, Lin Yang soon discovered that Pan Yuan was not repairing the teleportation array very quickly.

Clearly, his skill in magic arrays was not high.

Moreover, as Pan Yuandao's power circulated, Lin Yang discovered that the old man was injured.

The injury was quite severe!
"Could it be that a large number of disciples in the Tiankun Sect lost control, or even other elders, and this old man was unable to dodge in the chaos and was injured?" Lin Yang wondered to himself.

He thought that was very likely the case.

Otherwise, given this old guy's cultivation level and the fact that he's in seclusion, it would be almost impossible for him to get injured.

Seeing that Pan Yuan was seriously injured, a murderous glint flashed in Lin Yang's eyes.

He was considering whether to take the opportunity to finish off the old man.

He wasn't very confident if Pan Yuan hadn't been injured.

But now this old man is clearly seriously injured. He only needs to find the right opportunity to kill Pan Yuan.

However, after thinking about it, Lin Yang decided to suppress the idea for the time being.

If a fight breaks out and you lose control, it will be a losing proposition.

However, not being able to do it yourself doesn't mean there's no other way.

Lin Yang looked at the scattered out-of-control individuals outside the city.

"Perhaps we could lure a few out-of-control individuals over here."

Lin Yang had a plan in mind.

Even if the teleportation array is repaired, it may not be able to teleport people away, but what if it is?
He didn't want to keep Pan Yuan as a potential threat any longer.

He shared his thoughts with Cheng Fu.

Cheng Fu, however, did not recommend doing so, and transmitted his voice to say:
“Those out-of-control individuals are difficult to lure. It would be troublesome if Pan Yuan noticed your presence.”

"Anyway, he's seriously injured now. Even if he really teleports away, we can just follow him and teleport there to hunt him down."

"If we can't teleport away, then there's no need to risk taking action. He'll die sooner or later if we leave him here."

Lin Yang frowned slightly, then nodded slightly.

Cheng Fu is right.

The teleportation array here is directional; it will only teleport you to another fixed city.

There's no fear of being unable to catch up after Pan Yuan teleports away.

With his current strength, he is quite confident that he can kill a heavily injured Pan Yuan.

There's really no need to take the risk now.

He watched as Pan Yuan repaired the teleportation array bit by bit, estimated the time required, and waited patiently.

Time passed little by little.

Finally, a look of joy appeared on Pan Yuan's face.

The teleportation array has been repaired.

He practically couldn't wait to step inside, and without waiting for the disciples to catch up, he poured his Dao power into the teleportation array to activate it.

The disciples' faces visibly darkened, and they even showed signs of panic.

If Pan Yuan leaves, they won't be able to leave at all.

But Pan Yuan acted too quickly, clearly not wanting to stay there for even a second longer.

The teleportation array lit up.

It's started!
At this moment, it wasn't just Pan Yuan himself who was nervous and expectant.

Lin Yang and Cheng Fu, who were hiding in the shadows, were equally nervous and expectant.

"We must succeed, we absolutely must succeed!" Pan Yuan's eyes shone with longing.

However, the light from the teleportation array suddenly went out the next moment.

Pan Yuan remained in the same spot.

The transfer failed!

Pan Yuan's joy instantly turned into despair, but he still refused to give up and continued to activate the teleportation array again.

The light shone again, but the result was the same; it quickly went out again.

Once, twice, three times…

Pan Yuan tried seventeen or eighteen times, but failed each time.

He was forced to give up.

"Damn it, damn it!!"

Pan Yuan cursed under his breath in exasperation.

Lin Yang, who was hiding in the shadows, also sighed in his heart.

Despite being mentally prepared, I still couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed after it was confirmed that the teleportation array couldn't take me away from here.

He no longer considered taking action against Pan Yuan.

Since we can't leave, staying here means death is inevitable.

However, Pan Yuan's next move surprised him.

This old man actually managed to destroy the teleportation array that had been repaired earlier, bit by bit.

Then he led his disciples to prepare to leave.

"Is this old man... trying to prevent others from directly using the repaired teleportation array?"

Lin Yang quickly guessed Pan Yuan's intention.

Most likely, they want others to spend time repairing the teleportation array after they arrive, and then despair while waiting.

I have to say, this old guy has a really dark mind.

Even now, they're still scheming against others.

Suddenly, before Pan Yuan and his group had gone far, several more people cautiously entered the city and headed straight for the teleportation array.

They appear to be from the Rainbow Micro Sect.

It was also an elder with several disciples.

Clearly, the people from the Rainbow Micro Sect were also there to try and use the teleportation array.

Pan Yuan and his group, along with Hongwei Sect members, quickly discovered each other.

An elder from the Rainbow Cloud Sect spoke first: "Pan Yuan, you actually arrived early. Judging from your appearance, are you leaving? Could it be that you failed?"

Pan Yuan snorted coldly and ignored him.

"Heh." The elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect also sneered, but did not get entangled with Pan Yuan and quickly approached the teleportation array.

He was visibly stunned when he saw the damaged teleportation array.

Since Pan Yuan had come, he must have been trying to leave using the teleportation array.

That doesn't make sense, as the teleportation array is still damaged!
The elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something. He looked in the direction Pan Yuan and the others had left and muttered curses under his breath:

"That despicable old beast must have repaired the teleportation array, but failed to leave and destroyed it again."

Having said that, he flashed away and chased after them, directly cursing at Pan Yuan: "You old bastard, you're really wicked. Even if the attempt failed, there was no need to destroy the teleportation array, was there? Are you afraid that we'll see the result directly and gain some advantage?"

Pan Yuan sneered: "Who said I failed? I just saw that the teleportation array was badly damaged and I couldn't repair it for the time being, so I thought I would go elsewhere to find some materials to repair it."

"Heh, come on, you old codger, stop pretending. You definitely repaired the teleportation array, failed to escape, and then destroyed it again," the elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect sneered.

He knew Pan Yuan too well.

Or perhaps, they know each other too well.

"Think what you want. Anyway, I didn't repair the teleportation array. If you think I tried it and then destroyed it again, then you can just leave and don't try it again," Pan Yuan said indifferently.

The elder from the Rainbow Cloud Sect turned cold, stared at Pan Yuan for a long while, and then flicked his sleeve and snorted, "You're ruthless."

After saying that, he ignored Pan Yuan and returned to the teleportation array, where he took out a pile of materials and began to repair it.

Clearly, even though he could conclude that Pan Yuan had already tried, he was still unwilling to give up.

Pan Yuan watched this scene with a hint of sarcasm.

Clearly, he had also grasped the psychology of this elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect, knowing that the Rainbow Micro Sect would inevitably continue to repair itself.

So it doesn't matter that I was discovered earlier.

"It takes me a lot of time and effort to repair the teleportation array, and you think you can just sit back and reap the benefits and know the result directly? Ha, dream on." Pan Yuan sneered inwardly.

He destroyed the teleportation array on purpose to annoy the others.

Watching this scene from the shadows, Lin Yang found it quite amusing.

Pan Yuan's mind has become twisted.

After another long period of repairs.

The elders of the Rainbow Micro Sect also activated the teleportation array.

The result, of course, was no different.

He quickly glanced at Pan Yuan, who was watching the show from the sidelines, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes: "Pan Yuan, you old scoundrel, you really did it on purpose!"

Pan Yuan stopped pretending at this point and sneered, "So what if I am? What can you do to me?"

The elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect was instantly enraged, his Dao power surging, as if he were about to make a move.

Pan Yuan remained disdainful: "You dare to lay a hand on me?"

The aura surrounding the elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect instantly froze.

Hands-on?

He dare not.

I really don't dare.

Anyone who's lived this long knows that taking action will only hasten their own loss of control.

No one dared to make a move.

"Fine, Pan Yuan, you've got some nerve. Just pray you live a few more days." The Rainbow Micro Sect elder said, then abruptly destroyed the teleportation array.

Pan Yuan's sneer deepened upon seeing this: "I thought you were so much better, but you're still the same."

The elder of the Rainbow Cloud Sect ignored him and prepared to leave with his men.

Pan Yuan, feeling rebuffed, stopped talking and left with his men.

However, an unexpected change occurred.

Perhaps the elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect had too much emotional fluctuation just now, and the repair of the teleportation array had consumed his strength and energy. He suddenly lost control after walking a short distance.

His disciples next to him were killed before they could even react.

Pan Yuan's previously calm expression instantly changed.

If it were an ordinary disciple who lost control, he wouldn't be so alarmed.

But now the one out of control is someone whose cultivation level is comparable to his.

Moreover, the elder of Hongwei Sect was not injured.

Things are out of control now, and he's finding it difficult to manage.

Almost instantly, Pan Yuan mobilized his power and forcibly pushed the Tiankun Sect disciples who had come with him toward the out-of-control Hongwei Sect elder, trying to buy some time.

He himself fled quickly.

"That old guy is really ruthless, even betraying his own people," Cheng Fu couldn't help but complain upon seeing this.

Lin Yang nodded, then stopped paying attention.

The elders of the Rainbow Cloud Sect killing those disciples of the Heavenly Kun Sect was as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.

Although Pan Yuan escaped quickly, he was still relentlessly pursued by the out-of-control elder of the Rainbow Micro Sect.

Pan Yuan basically has no way out.

He was already injured, and was being chased by an out-of-control being of the same level. He wouldn't be able to run for long before he was caught up.

Even if they manage to escape by chance, it will consume a lot of their Dao power, which is not much different from taking action.

In short, Pan Yuan will either die at the hands of the out-of-control elder of the Hongwei Sect, or he will lose control himself.

"You've avenged yourself, even though that old bastard Pan Yuan didn't die by your hand," Cheng Fu laughed.

Lin Yang was both amused and exasperated.

This result was indeed unexpected for him.

That's a bit dramatic.

However, he didn't feel much relief or joy after his enemy's death.

The teleportation array prevents people from leaving Blazing City.

He was now somewhat at a loss as to what to do next.

It seems like there's only one way out: waiting to die.

"I wonder how many people are still alive in the entire Baichi City area right now." Lin Yang looked up at the gray sky, somewhat lost.

Both the Tiankun Sect and the Hongwei Sect have come.

No one from the Moon Shadow Sect came.

It's unclear whether they were completely wiped out or arrived earlier than all of them.

Lin Yang was lost in thought.

Cheng Fu suddenly suggested, "Let's go gather resources. There's no one in the city now, so everything is ours."

Lin Yang was taken aback: "Is it still necessary?"

Indeed, now you can take whatever you want in the city.

But it doesn't seem necessary.

People are trapped here and will die sooner or later, so there seems to be no point in bothering to collect resources.

Cheng Fu said leisurely, "Just think of it as having something to do. I've never been rich before, so it's not bad to experience what it's like to be rich."

"If that's the case... then let's just take all the spatial rings from those corpses too, since we're just sitting around doing nothing anyway." Lin Yang further refined the plan.

Indeed, since there's nothing to do now, let's find something to do.

Something has to be done to fill the void of confusion.

Even if I die, I'll be a rich ghost.

Cheng Fu was taken aback.

He didn't expect Lin Yang to be even more outrageous.

They didn't even spare the corpses. (End of Chapter)
