In the cities of Great Xia, of course, there wouldn't be a Teleportation Array that leads directly to the Sword Sect.
Such a matter of handing over control, all Sects would not agree.
After Lu Qingshan exited the Teleportation Array, he immediately left the city behind him.
The last stretch of the journey had to rely on his own Sword Control to fly back.
Unbeknownst to him, there was already someone following him, also departing the city.
It was Gui Yuan True Venerable.
To initiate an attack within the city would have been conspicuous and unpredictable and, unless necessary, he wouldn't act so recklessly.
The best method would be to tail Lu Qingshan after leaving the city, strike in a desolate area, kill him, and then immediately escape thousands of miles away.
As the saying goes, "Kill a man within ten steps, and travel a thousand miles without a trace."
It is the way of a Swordsman!
