Zhao Hai had not lied to Tao Jing. He had indeed given iron snake a portable teleportation array. However, he had not given it to iron snake when he had arrived at The Poison Tree sect. Instead, he had given it to iron snake when he had discovered that there were many people in the five poison sect. After giving iron snake the portable teleportation array, he had also sent a voice transmission to iron snake, asking him to look for li Tieniu. When he saw that something was wrong, the two of them had immediately left The Poison Tree sect.
It was likely that when the outer perimeter of The Poison Tree sect was breached, iron snake had already left with li Tieniu. Therefore, Zhao Hai was truly not worried about them.
When Zhao Hai went to see the two of them, they were in a small city within the poison Dragon sect's territory. They had already booked an Inn and were staying there.
