The other two major cultivation families on the island also control the teleportation array, but there is no way they would help the Cheng family.
Moreover, no matter how poor the Cheng family is now, it is still an old-fashioned world of cultivation with a long heritage.
In terms of background, the other two families are not even as good as the Cheng family.
Xu Chunniang put down the bone book in her hand and thought silently.
She originally thought that the three major families had the ability to set up a teleportation array.
But now it seems more likely that they are just the "guardians" of the teleportation array.
There was someone else who set up the teleportation array on the island.
Moreover, this force is definitely superior to the three major families on Nansha Island.
Perhaps the answer can only be found by going to medium-sized islands or even large islands.
Xu Chunniang remembered that Cheng Surong had mentioned that among the five islands on the southern line, only the Coral Island had a teleportation array that could lead to Pingfeng Island, a medium-sized island.
Judging from this, the place where the teleportation array was set up is most likely Pingfeng Island.
After the hunting competition is over, maybe we can go to Pingfeng Island via Coral Island.
This thought flashed through Xu Chunniang's mind, and then she put the matter aside and looked through the Formation Bone Book again.
Although the principles are the same, the maritime cultivation world also has many unique features in the formation techniques and materials used, and we can benefit a lot by learning from them.
Several months passed like this, and with only five or six days left before the hunting competition, the Cheng family finally found Xu Chunniang.
The visitor was Cheng Qingjia, the eldest grandson of the head of the Cheng family. He explained the purpose of his visit.
The big competition is coming, it’s time to head to Coral Island.
Xu Chunniang put down the bone book in her hand and followed him towards the teleportation array.
The teleportation array is not very big and can only teleport ten people at the same time.
Just when she arrived, a group of people had already left.
Most of the remaining team were in the early and middle stages of foundation building. Even Cheng Surong, who had just established her foundation not long ago, was among them.
Apart from her, only Cheng Qingjia, who was in the late stage of foundation building, had a slightly higher cultivation level.
Xu Chunniang's spiritual sense quietly probed towards the teleportation formation, but the entire formation seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist. Before her spiritual sense got close, it was suddenly bounced away by the white mist.
She tried it once and didn't try it again. Since the person who set up the formation was unwilling to leave behind a legacy, she was afraid that she would not find out anything if she forcibly explored the formation.
After waiting for a while, everyone finally arrived.
The cultivator from the Cheng family placed the spirit stone into the formation and activated the teleportation formation.
A white light flashed, and the ten figures in the formation disappeared on the spot.
This was not Xu Chunniang’s first time teleporting, so she was already very skilled in dealing with the power of teleportation.
After a brief dizziness, she opened her eyes and glanced at the monks around her who were presiding over the formation.
She had been on Nansha Island for almost a year and had long forgotten her initial state of ignorance. She now knew that the people guarding the formation were the monks of the Zhan family from Coral Island.
Coral Island is the leader of the five islands, where the Zhan family is the dominant family. The Zhan family is the most powerful family on the five southern islands, far superior to the Cheng family on the Nansha Islands.
Cheng Qingjia's cultivation level was in the late stage of foundation building. He was the second person present besides Xu Chunniang, and also the second one to recover from dizziness.
He turned to check on the other tribesmen, but heard a voice saying, "Five breaths have passed, now that they are awake, quickly take them away from the teleportation array."
There is an unwritten rule when using the teleportation array. You must leave as quickly as possible after teleporting and not occupy the array for too long.
This is to avoid affecting the subsequent use of the teleportation array.
Cheng Qingjia frowned slightly, took the two people with both hands, and walked out while saying to Xu Chunniang, "Fellow Daoist Xu, please lend a hand and take them out of the formation first."
The use of magic is prohibited in the teleportation formation, so he can only use this stupid method.
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, then picked up a female cultivator in each of her left and right hands and carried them out of the formation.
After two rounds of this, the remaining eight people were taken away, and they finally woke up.
At this moment, the teleportation array flashed white light, and another group of people appeared.
Their cultivation is generally not weak. There are as many as three people who have completed the foundation building process, and the remaining seven are all in the late stage of foundation building.
The leader was Liu Qinglan, who had met Xu Chunniang once before. The identity of this team was self-evident.
After Liu Qinglan regained consciousness, she left the teleportation array. When she saw Xu Chunniang, she was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on her face.
"Friend Xu, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."
Although her brother claimed that there was no need to worry about this person, she had always been tactful and would not offend anyone easily.
Seeing that Liu Qinglan seemed to know Xu Chunniang, Cheng Qingjia secretly became alert.
The Cheng family has been on the decline over the years, and the Liu family has used this as an excuse to suppress the Cheng family.
There were also many guests who originally belonged to the Cheng family, but after the Liu family promised them huge benefits, they turned to the Liu family.
Although it is true that water flows to low places and people go to high places, this is like adding insult to injury for the Cheng family.
Grandpa has high hopes for Brother Xu, so he has to keep a close eye on him.
Cheng Qingjia stepped forward and stood at the front, looking at Liu Qinglan with a tone neither humble nor arrogant.
"Greetings, Aunt Liu. Fellow Daoist Xu is a guest of my Cheng family."
Liu Qinglan's smile faded a little. Age was a thorn in her heart.
It would be fine if the little girl Cheng Surong called her Aunt Liu, but Cheng Qingjia, who is not that young anymore, actually dared to call her that.
It’s true that she is an elder, but cultivators don’t interact with each other based on worldly status, so everyone should be treated as equals.
"Friend Xu is here with you, so I know what her current status is. I just feel sorry for her. Even a wise bird knows where to roost. Friend Xu is a smart man, so I'm sure you understand what I mean, right?"
Liu Qinglan curled his lips and smiled at Xu Chunniang, the meaning of his words was self-evident.
A hint of resentment flashed across Cheng Qingjia's eyes. The Liu family had become increasingly powerful in recent years, and they had plenty of people to rely on, so they were never short of people.
He understood that Liu Qinglan said these words just to take the opportunity to criticize him.
Cheng Qingjia took a deep breath and turned to look at Xu Chunniang.
In order to win her over, Grandpa even let her enter the third floor of the library, which was never allowed to be entered by outsiders.
She... will at least keep her promise and participate in this hunting competition, right
Xu Chunniang remained calm when she noticed that everyone's eyes were on her.
"Fellow Daoist Liu is right."
Liu Qinglan was still waiting for her next words, but after waiting for a long time, she only said this. Although her face was still smiling, her eyes had turned cold.
This casual cultivator who came from an unknown island is indeed a little short-sighted.
Originally, she had a high opinion of Xu Chunniang, but now it seemed that what her brother said was indeed true.
"In that case, I wish you a successful start in the hunting competition."
After Liu Qinglan finished speaking, he said no more and led the team away.
Cheng Qingjia breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go too."
As soon as everyone left the area where the teleportation array was located, a foundation-building cultivator from the Zhan family came to greet them.
This was not the first time that Cheng Qingjia participated in the hunting competition, and he introduced himself without waiting for the monk to speak.
After the monk learned that it was the Cheng family from Nansha Island, he led everyone to a secluded courtyard.
