Chapter 643: The Teleportation Portal on the Painting

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Gu Qingluan knew there was a method, which was spatial teleportation.

But this method, not to mention the Cloud Plains Continent, even in the Heavenly Realm Continent, very few people could perform it.

Apart from spatial teleportation, there was another method she could think of, and that was overwhelming strength.

Someone instantly took control of the guards.

After taking the people from the room, they released their control over the guards.

But who had such immense power?

Let’s not forget that the guards around Xiao Jingye were all experts, with several of them being at the Stage of the Heavenly Realm.

To quietly snatch someone away under the noses of so many Heavenly Realm experts, only a Saint could accomplish that.

Could the mastermind behind this control a Saint?

The three black-clad individuals who abducted her, Xiaonan and Yuanxi didn’t seem to be very strong, and their kidnappings were not isolated incidents. Mobilizing a Saint for the sake of a stranger seemed like a gross overuse of resources.

Gu Qingluan pondered for a moment and then looked at the innkeeper, asking, “Can you take me upstairs to see the room where the Fifth Prince is staying?”

“Of course,” the innkeeper replied, leading her upstairs.

The others followed suit.

“It’s right here.”

The innkeeper brought her to a guest room on the third floor.

The room was somewhat in disarray, as the guards had turned it upside down while searching for the missing person.

Gu Qingluan scanned the room with her spiritual awareness but found no hidden compartments.

This was just an ordinary guest room.

Xiao Jingye, with a glimmer of hope, asked, “Did you find anything?”

Gu Qingluan shook her head.

Although Xiao Jingye had expected this outcome, her response still left him disappointed.

Gu Qingluan frowned, knowing that people don’t simply vanish for no reason; they must have overlooked something.

She slowly surveyed the room and noticed that Feng Tianlan had lingered in front of a painting for quite some time.

She walked over and gazed at the painting as well.

It was a landscape painting with a small pavilion on a mountainside, surrounded by rocks and trees.

As she looked closer, a pattern gradually formed in her mind, and her eyes revealed a hint of surprise. “This painting…”

The innkeeper, suddenly alert, asked, “Is there something wrong with this painting?”

Xiao Jingye furrowed his brow.

It was just a painting; why were they so interested? Clearly, this matter had nothing to do with them, so why were they bothering with a landscape painting at a time like this?

Xiao Jingye thought that perhaps they weren’t as concerned about finding the missing persons as he had assumed.

His heart sank, and he turned away with a stern expression, not wanting to waste any more time here.

“Do you also suspect…” Gu Qingluan turned to look at Feng Tianlan.

Feng Tianlan raised an eyebrow, “There’s only one way to find out.”

He raised his hand and injected a white light into the painting.

Then, a magical scene unfolded before their eyes.

The paper of the painting began to glow, and suddenly, everyone felt like the painting had become real.

Yujing Ting exclaimed, “The painting came to life!”

Gu Qingluan’s eyes sparkled with amazement, “It’s indeed a teleportation portal!”

“A teleportation portal? This painting is actually a teleportation portal?”

Everyone was astonished.

“My goodness, how can this be a teleportation portal?”

“Nothing is impossible. But to create a teleportation portal on a painting, the mastermind behind this is truly formidable.”

Initially, Gu Qingluan hadn’t considered this possibility because setting up a teleportation portal was not an easy task, and this was just a guest room. Who would set up a teleportation portal in such a place?

Because she had a fixed way of thinking, she hadn’t considered this possibility before.

However, this teleportation portal likely had its limitations. The teleportation distance couldn’t be too great.

The farther the teleportation, the more spatial power and spiritual energy it would require.

A small painting couldn’t handle that.

“Can we enter this teleportation portal? Does it lead to the lair of the mastermind?” Yujing Ting was eager to try it.

Gu Qingluan shook her head. “If the other party is cautious, they wouldn’t do that.”

“So discovering this is useless?” Yujing Ting’s eyes darkened.

“No, it’s useful.”

Gu Qingluan turned to the innkeeper, “Where did this painting come from?”

The innkeeper replied, “We bought it from the art studio. It didn’t cost much, and each guest room has one. Do you think they all have issues?”

Gu Qingluan said, “We’ll find out by checking.”

They went to the adjacent room to check, but the painting in the other room had no issues.

All the other guest rooms had ordinary paintings, except for this one, which concealed a secret.

“Before the Fifth Prince moved in, did anyone enter this guest room?” Gu Qingluan asked the innkeeper.

The innkeeper thought for a moment and then slapped his forehead. “Now that you mention it, I do remember. Someone did enter the room. It was Zhao San’er. He’s responsible for cleaning the guest rooms, but the Fifth Prince’s guards were not satisfied with him, and he was quickly driven out after entering..”
