The Tang Sect had made a miscalculation this time. Anping's space teleportation technique used energy very efficiently, so it didn't have the limitations that Hu Jie had assumed.
In a flash, Anping and Gu Yuena took Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan to a location between Dawn City and the entrance of the Dragon Valley. No matter how hard the Tang Sect searched, they wouldn't find them in or near Dawn City.
Anping and Gu Yuena remained invisible from beginning to end, because they didn't know how much the Star Luo Empire's artificial satellite had detected.
They didn't bother changing their appearance and body shape, either. They were planning to take Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan away anyway. No matter how they changed their looks, the Tang Sect would still recognize them.
They had acted on the street because they didn't want to waste more time, and because there were very few people on that street. Except for the exchange staff of Sun Moon Academy, the rest were mostly from the Tang Sect.
Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan saw the change in the scenery and realized they had left Dawn City. They had stayed there for a few days, and they had some familiarity with it.
The scene of mountains and forests in front of them was impossible to find in Dawn City. There was nothing like it in a large area around it.
Before they could react further, there was another flash of silver light and they arrived at another place. They looked at the valley in front of them and wondered where Anping and Gu Yuena had taken them.
They had met Ditian and the others, except for Ziji, who only knew Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan. They even saw them often.
But what surprised Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan the most was the shimmering door floating in the air. The scene inside the door was very different from the valley behind it. They were curious about what it was.
They didn't know what was inside the door or what the door was, but they guessed that it might have something to do with why the Tang Sect was after them.
"Is it because of this?" Le Zhengyu whispered, unlike Xu Xiaoyan, who was quiet.
Anping clapped his hands twice to get their attention. He said, "I know you're curious about why the Tang Sect wants to know our whereabouts."
"You're right, some of the reasons are because of this." He pointed to the shimmering door and said, "There's a small world inside this door. This small world used to be controlled by the Tang Sect. It was underground, but we snatched it away from them. That's why the Tang Sect made such a move."
Xu Xiaoyan didn't understand what he meant by a small world. She came from a small family and had never heard of such a thing. She looked confused.
Le Zhengyu came from the Holy Angel Family, but he only had a vague idea of what a small world was. And that idea made him feel that Anping and Gu Yuena had done something that defied common sense.
He understood that a small world was a space within a space crack. As long as you knew the connection point between the small world and reality and followed the rules of the small world, you could enter it.
But he had never heard of anyone snatching a small world from the Tang Sect, as Anping had claimed.
He wasn't interested in the technical details of space, since his martial spirit was a holy angel. He said, "So this small world must be very important to the Tang Sect, otherwise they wouldn't send so many people to follow us."
Anping nodded and said, "It is very important. For some reason, people who have entered this small world before could increase their physical strength through the special energy inside, without any side effects. The Tang Sect used this as a training place to improve their members' strength."
"Because of the rules, this small world only allows soul masters below level 50 to enter. But that's why it's so valuable for the Tang Sect to train new people."
Le Zhengyu and Xu Xiaoyan's eyes lit up when they heard that physical strength could be increased without any side effects. They knew how crucial physical strength was for a soul master.
But Le Zhengyu felt disappointed when he heard that only soul masters below level 50 could enter, because he had already reached the level of a five-ring soul king.
Xu Xiaoyan asked excitedly, "So you and Sister Nana brought us here to improve my physical strength? What do I have to do? Just walk in?"
She was so focused on the possibility of increasing her physical strength that she forgot about the Tang Sect chasing them.
Her martial spirit was a star staff, which didn't enhance her body much. She had a meditation method from Anping, but there was a simpler way in front of her, and she didn't want to miss it.
Gu Yuena pulled Xu Xiaoyan back and said helplessly, "Anping already told you. Because of us, this small world no longer has that function. You have the meditation method Anping gave you. Just practice it step by step."
Xu Xiaoyan's mood sank to the same level as Le Zhengyu's, while Le Zhengyu felt a bit better. But he was still curious. "If it's not because of this, what else is it?"
Gu Yuena said, "That's what we're going to talk about next. Anping and I brought you here for two reasons."
"The first one is simple. Because you two are close to us, we're worried that the Tang Sect or the Star Luo Empire will harm you. We don't want that to happen."
Le Zhengyu didn't think much of this. He was the heir of the Holy Angel Family, and his grandfather was the head of the Southern Army of the Sun-Moon Federation. He didn't think the Tang Sect or the Star Luo Empire would dare to touch him.
So he was more interested in the second reason, which was probably another part of why the Tang Sect was after them. Anping had said that the small world was only part of it.
Gu Yuena said, "I hope you can keep what I'm going to say next a secret, otherwise..."
In other instances, She primarily discussed this matter with Le Zhengyu. Regarding Xu Xiaoyan, Gu Yuena trusted her not to divulge unnecessary information. Le Zhengyu, understanding the reference to himself, nodded solemnly.
Observing Le Zhengyu's reaction, Gu Yuena continued, "I am not human, or to clarify, aside from the two of you, none of the individuals here share the same human nature."
