After bidding farewell to the family elder, Yuan Shaoyuan excused himself to discuss important business matters, taking his two brothers with him. They left ck Cloud Mountain and, disguising their faces, hid outside Giant Tree
Ridge.
It seemed as if fortune was favoring them.
They only waited half a month before Chen Mobai surprisingly left the Divine Wood Sect.
As he passed through a forest, they activated a Cloud Mist Talisman. This talisman wasn’t offensive, but anyone who passed through its mist would be marked by an almost imperceptible smoky residue.
This colorless, odorless residue could linger for a month undetected, and only their specially crafted lens from the Yuan family could perceive it.
The trio observed the movement of the smoke from ten miles away. After following for half a day, they found that Chen Mobai had gone to a Fang
Market.
This market was guarded by Qi Cultivation disciples from the Divine Wood Sect and also had their family’s shops.
However, they didn’t want to expose themselves, so when Chen Mobai rented a cave dwelling, they also rented a nearby avable one.
■■It’s strange. This is their Divine Wood Sect’s property. As long as he shows his sect’s namete, he can stay for free. Why spend spirit stones?”
All three were puzzled by Chen Mobai’s behavior, but more mystifying behavior was yet toe.
They waited for two whole months without seeing Chen Mobai leave the house.
“This doesn’t look good. Have we been exposed and he’s run away?”
Yuan Shaoyuan had vast assassination experience and immediately sensed something was not right.
But the cave dwellings in the market were Divine Wood Sect’s properties, so they didn’t dare break the formation and intrude to investigate.
“Let’s wait a bit longer. If still no sign, we’ll report back to headquarters.”
One month went by since they deployed this strategy.
just when Yuan Shaoyuan decided to give up and leave with his two brothers…
Squeak!
The door of Chen Mobai’s cave dwelling was opened.
The long-awaited assassination target was right before their eyes.
“Damn brat, he’s prepared so many fasting pills.”
Yuan Shaoyuan cursed under his breath, but his years of assassination experience helped him remain calm during this critical moment.
He asked his fourth brother to track the smoke at the market exit, while he and his sixth brother waited inside the cave dwelling, so they wouldn’t be discovered by the top disciple of the Divine Wood Sect.
“Damn, his direction… He seems to be heading back to Giant Tree Ridge!
After Chen Mobai left, they followed the smoke, but after half a day they noticed something was off.
“If he returns to Divine Wood Sect, we’re out of options.”
Even with a hundred times more guts, they wouldn’t dare to kill someone at
Giant Tree Ridge.
“I’ll inform the elder immediately.”
Yuan Shaoyuan is a decisive person. He knew that they might not have a chance to see Chen Mobai leave Jian Country, but he didn’t want to lose this rare opportunity, so he activated a valuable Rank-2 Concentric Talisman. This talisman is part of a pair. Once one is activated, the other one will get the message sent by the activator.
ck Cloud Mountain.
After receiving the message, Yuan Hongyuan pondered for a moment.
Then, his expression hardened, and he decided to activate the other Concentric Talisman.
[You three stop following him, I’ll set an ambush on his inevitable path back to Giant Tree Ridge.]
Upon receiving this message, Yuan Shaoyuan sighed in relief. He pulled his two brothers with him, and after conveying the elder’s message, the three of them headed toward Yun Country.
They were supposedly going to negotiate a sale of Spirit Beasts with the Luo family, a cultivator family from Yun Country. To avoid suspicion and investigation by the Divine Wood Sect after the elder kills Chen Mobai, they had to y their roles convincingly.
Chen Mobai waspletely unaware that someone was following him.
After leaving the market, he headed straight for Giant Tree Ridge.
His mind was preupied with how to maintain his reputation as an unparalleled genius in sword Dao after he returned to the sect. He nned to say that he had sessfully established his foundation, but during the breakthrough process, he had a sudden epiphany and understood an immensely domineering sword technique. He was involuntarily ovee with this understanding and injured his meridians, internal organs, and Divine Sense. He would need two to three years of recuperation.
After all, he was registered with the Divine Wood Sect for practicing a two-fold Technique.
At some point in the future, after the Art of Eternal Life, he still needed to have a Red me Sword Jue to reveal.
But he was on the edge of the limit. He had to wait until the Melting Sun Body waspleted before he could mimic the me Sword Charm’s cultivational level with the Pure Yang Scroll.
If there was a chance when nobody was around, he could use an unrefined puppet to apply the Foundation Building Realm’s me Sword Charm. If someone analyzed the battlefield afterward, they would find traces of the Rainbow Sword Qi.
But currently, there was no one who could test an unrefined puppet’s power after being set with high-grade Spirit Stones.”
While he was thinking about this, Chen Mobai had arrived at a barren hill.
It was about one hundred miles past here, where one could see Giant Tree Ridge again.
Previously, Chen Mobai could only trek over mountains and ridges to cross this barren hill.
But things were different now.
He had established his foundation.
He could fly!
The effectiveness of the two Godspeed Talismans had just run out, so he stopped and started to fly.
His entire body transformed into a green light, suddenly rushing into the sky. Like a green flying sword streaking across the sky, it sliced a clear path across the clouds, revealing the blue sky.
Yuan Hongyuan, who was lying in ambush in the middle of the barren hill, was holding a prearranged Array g. Seeing Chen Mobai flying across the sky, he opened his mouth wide in disbelief..
