Reborn Medicine King

The three of them agreed immediately and got up to leave the room. Jiang Fann left a couple of pills on the table to cover their expenses for the past few days.    

Thanks to the reminder from the others, Wan Chengfeng also noticed there was an expert lurking nearby. However, he didn't make a fuss and continued chatting with the other two as they walked.    

"I'm telling you, the food and drinks at my inn are way better than here. Tonight, the three of us are going to drink until we drop, and you two better not leave early," Wan Chengfeng said with a grin.    

Fang Xiang laughed, "If you're buying, Wan, I'm in for the long haul."    

Once they reached Wan Chengfeng's inn, they asked the innkeeper for some drinks and instructed the server to bring the food and drinks up to their room.    

After the server delivered the food and drinks, the three of them shut the door and began using a secret technique to disguise themselves.    

Jiang Fann was the first to finish, changing into a new outfit that left no trace of his original appearance. His aura and spiritual strength seemed completely different. Unless they encountered someone with an extraordinary sensitivity to fire energy, like those from the Fire Valley, no one would recognize Jiang Fann.    

Wan Chengfeng and Fang Xiang also completed their transformations, even altering their heights. They exchanged glances and all broke into smiles.    

Jiang Fann set up a barrier and then drew a smiling face on a piece of paper, placing it on the table.    

"Think Xingtian Yong will be happy when he can't find us and sees this?"    

Fang Xiang: "..."    

Wan Chengfeng said, "Alright, let's split up now. Since there's a no-fly zone in this city, we can't use the Great Shift Talisman to get out. There are no teleportation arrays except in the square and the palace. We'll meet at the square and then leave."    

Jiang Fann added, "If anything goes wrong, contact me immediately."    

Fang Xiang replied, "We won't mess up. Just make sure you don't cause any trouble."    

Without further discussion, Fang Xiang used his spiritual sense to check outside. Once he was sure no one was around, he left. A few minutes later, Wan Chengfeng also left the inn, with Jiang Fann being the last to move.    

He used a spiritual stone to keep the barrier active, preventing others from sensing what was happening inside the room, buying them more time.    

When Jiang Fann reached the first floor, he noticed two of Xingtian Yong's associates had arrived, while another seemed to be staying at their inn. There were also some skilled trackers from the Zhongtian Dynasty on the street, but their numbers seemed off, suggesting they had just arrived. They watched Jiang Fann leave, but none could identify him.    

Jiang Fann strolled confidently towards the square, feeling quite pleased with himself.    

Using the Spirit Attached Jade to sense their location, Jiang Fann picked up his pace, eager to reunite with the others. As he approached the plaza, he found Fang Xiang and his companion already gathered. Fang Xiang turned to him and said, "The teleportation array will be down for three days. Those in a hurry to leave will have to exit through the city gates and use the teleportation array in a nearby town."    

Hearing this, Jiang Fann raised an eyebrow and asked, "Has this happened before?"    

"Never heard of it," Fang Xiang replied. "Seems a bit suspicious, doesn't it?"    

Wan Chengfeng chimed in, "There's a detection spell at the city gates to verify identities, preventing impostors from entering. Could this be because of you?"    

Jiang Fann responded, "Would they really go to such lengths for someone like me?"    

Just then, Wan Chengfeng pulled out a Spirit Attached Jade, carefully reading the message it conveyed. His expression grew serious.    

"I've received word that someone is getting restless. We need to find a way out without using the city gates."    

Jiang Fann and Fang Xiang understood the gravity of the situation from Wan Chengfeng's demeanor. Fang Xiang turned to Jiang Fann, "I didn't expect them to act so quickly. It's possible that Xingtian Yong has already made contact with someone here. Should we find a place to lay low for a few days? It's only three days, and then we can use the teleportation array to leave. We definitely can't go through the city gates; the detection there is much more advanced than at the Dan Gate, and we can't be sure if our disguise will hold up."    

Jiang Fann decisively shook his head. "With a teleportation array right here, why wouldn't we use it? Activating it is no big deal for me. Do you know which one we need?"    

Fang Xiang whispered, "The third one, to the east."    

"You all wait here."    

With that, Jiang Fann headed in that direction. Since it was a transit plaza, many practitioners were lingering around. The sudden shutdown of the teleportation array left them with nowhere to go, so they simply stayed to train, as they often did when out and about. It didn't bother them much.    

Wasting no time, Jiang Fann sat cross-legged above the array, appearing to meditate, but in reality, he was channeling his spiritual strength into the array below.    

He then communicated with Lin Zhan and the others. "How long to get this array running?"    

Lin Zhan replied, "With spiritual strength, it should take about five minutes. But there's a practitioner controlling the array, so be cautious. Any fluctuation in spiritual strength could alert him, and he might use an inhibition to forcibly shut it down."    

Jiang Fann said, "That's not an option. We need a smooth passage. Maybe we could set up a temporary array to disrupt the practitioner's control."    

Xiao Ai chimed in, "Sir, that's not too difficult. We just need to embed a small array. However, it will only support a single transport."

"That's enough for now. Who knows when we'll have the chance to come back? Imprint the formation's layout in my mind. I'll set it up myself. Lin Zhan, you should go and get a feel for the main formation. Be careful not to get noticed. Wait for my signal to activate the teleportation array at any moment."    

Hearing Jiang Fann's words, Lin Zhan used Jiang Fann's spiritual strength to enter the formation, while Xiao Ai quickly started sketching it in his mind. Soon, a simple formation appeared. The materials needed weren't many, but they required high quality, which he fortunately had on hand.    

After all, to activate a high-quality teleportation array, ordinary materials wouldn't suffice.    

Since the formation was small, Jiang Fann only needed to set it up right in front of him. He skillfully wielded his spiritual strength, discreetly casting an inhibition, and swiftly arranged the small formation.    

Many practitioners had likely heard the news about the main formation being down for maintenance for three days, so the place wasn't as bustling as before. The person in charge of the formation was resting with his eyes closed, enjoying the rare peace.    

No one noticed what Jiang Fann was doing, including Wan Chengfeng and his companion in the distance.    

"Is Jiang Fann planning to forcefully activate this teleportation array? Whether he can do it or not, the idea itself is quite bold."    

"That's truly astonishing. Before, it was just a matter of offending the prince, but now it seems the entire royal family might be upset."    

"There's no choice. We can't just stay here and risk it, can we? When we leave, let's bring those few people with us. They might help us share the load," Wan Chengfeng said, gesturing toward a few cultivators resting near Jiang Fann.    

Fang Xiang understood his point and nodded without saying more.    

Over by Jiang Fann, the formation was set up, and Lin Zhan was feeling the power of the array. Once he was done, they could use the teleportation array to leave at any moment.    

Meanwhile, at Jiang Fann's inn, a figure quietly approached his room. It was one of Xing Tianyong's associates, clearly intending to take advantage of Jiang Fann's absence to see if there was a way to handle him directly. He knew how furious his boss was.    

He pushed the door open and found the room impeccably tidy. On the table were two pills, their purpose unclear. He frowned, as if realizing something, and immediately took out a Spirit Attached Jade to report to the strongest cultivator.    

"Boss, Jiang Fann left two pills in his room. They might be compensation for the inn. Could they be planning to run? The prince gave strict orders for us to keep an eye on him."    

Elsewhere, on the first floor of Wan Chengfeng's inn, the cultivator who received the message wore a serious expression.    

"I got it. I'm heading upstairs to take a look now."    

The two of them stood up and went upstairs with the attendant. After locating the room, they tried to sense what was happening inside but found their perception blocked by some kind of barrier. Without wasting any time, they pushed the door open.    

Once inside, they found the room empty. The food and drinks on the table were untouched, and a mocking smiley face was left behind, clearly placed there on purpose to taunt them.    

The man was furious, almost to the point of madness. Despite following closely, Jiang Fann and his companions had slipped away right under their noses, just like before. How could he not be angry?    

He quickly retrieved a communication device, not daring to delay. "Sir, Jiang Fann and his group have escaped. We don't know where they are, but they should still be in the city. You need to inform the boss that we need his help. Jiang Fann's disguise skills are top-notch; anyone in the city could be him."    

The only response he received was a disdainful "Useless," and then silence.    

Frustrated, the man returned downstairs, gathered his team, and left to search the city again. Having encountered Jiang Fann the most, he was determined to find him and personally deliver him to the second prince, hoping to redeem himself.    

As they left the inn, the skilled operatives hidden in the street received their orders and quickly dispersed. Some headed straight for the city gates, while others made their way to the square. The orders were clear: unless Jiang Fann and his companions stayed hidden in the city, there were only two ways to leave the royal city. By securing these two locations, they ensured Jiang Fann couldn't escape.    

Meanwhile, in a villa near the palace, Xing Tianyong sat in a gazebo, his face clouded with concern. Across from him sat a young man with a charming smile and an air of confidence. "You haven't changed a bit since your younger days. What's there to worry about with such a small matter? Keep a positive mindset."
