With only seven or eight days left until the trial, Zhou Chuan could have made the trip back on a flying sword, but he decided to take a teleportation array instead to save a significant amount of time. All the teleportation bases in the Southern Ridge were controlled by the Heavenly Sword Sect, totaling as many as eight.
The nearest teleportation base was in Yueyang City. To reach it, Zhou Chuan needed to cross the Guanding Forest. Without much hesitation, he chose this route.
Along the way, he kept an eye out for anyone trailing him, easily able to test for pursuers given the advantage of his outward-projecting Soul Power. He was certain that no one had followed him since he left Heavenly Sword City.
