Chapter 585: Chapter 243: Three Letters: A False Alarm

So, he quickly began channeling the Mystic Sect’s Synchronization Secret Technique to conceal his presence and prevent the other party from probing the area with their Divine Sense.

This Tier Three Cultivation Technique wasn’t guaranteed to work, but it was better to do what he could and leave the rest to fate than to do nothing at all.

The blinding white blizzard was both an obstacle and a natural barrier.

As long as Xiao Chen didn’t expose his location, they wouldn’t be able to see him with their naked eyes.

A short while later, he suddenly felt a powerful pressure characteristic of a Nascent Soul Demon Beast approaching from behind.

The pressure quickly swept past, heading west in the direction the frigid wind was blowing.

The creature had either passed by without noticing him, or had spotted him but didn’t deign to stop.

’Phew, that was a close call. Nothing happened.’

In reality, something big was definitely happening—an incident confirmed to involve at least two Nascent Soul Demon Beasts.

But since Xiao Chen wasn’t involved, it was as if nothing had happened as far as he was concerned. At least for now.

Whether it would affect him in the future was a problem for his future self.

Besides, as the saying goes, when the sky falls, the tall ones are there to hold it up.

FWOOSH!

A burst of sparks erupted on the spot, and Xiao Chen shot away at his fastest speed.

He soon passed through the blizzard and continued on his way without a moment’s hesitation. He traveled for three days and three nights straight, hardly resting except to restore his True Essence.

He didn’t stop until he had created a sufficiently safe distance.

Only then did he find a deserted island, set up a Defensive Array, and get a good night’s sleep.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Chen successfully arrived at Mozhang Peak.

From a distance, he could see the main peak was already decorated with lanterns and colorful banners, a sea of crimson that radiated a festive atmosphere.

Even the surrounding mountain ridges, both inhabited and deserted, had Sword Lights zipping across their summits to hang one massive, custom-made lantern after another.

Even in broad daylight, the scene was a fiery, bustling spectacle of extraordinary liveliness.

At night, the magnificent spectacle would surely be visible for many miles around.

’Using Foundation Establishment Cultivators for this kind of work is truly extravagant.’

Xiao Chen sighed in admiration. In the Southern Domain, if such a thing were done at all, it would undoubtedly be Qi Refining disciples climbing the mountains on foot.

However, this was the Eastern Domain. Foundation Establishment Cultivators were far more numerous here and thus not nearly as precious.

Judging from their attire, it seemed that Foundation Establishment Cultivators were merely considered Inner Sect Disciples here.

At the very least, among those flying around hanging lanterns, there wasn’t a single True Inheritor.

Moshi Market was located about a hundred miles southeast of Mozhang Peak.

It was located right next to the Ink Stone Spirit Ore mine, from which it took its name.

With the deliberate support of the sect, it had grown into the largest Marketplace in the Mojie Sect’s territory.

’Tsk, taking the Moon Wheel with me might be a bit too conspicuous.’

After a moment of thought, Xiao Chen decided against entering the Marketplace directly. Instead, he landed in a ravine just outside of it.

He left the Crystal Moon Wheel in a desolate spot and laid down the Yan Character Return Array for its Defense.

That was the great thing about a Portable Array Plate; it could be powered by Spirit Stones and operate entirely on its own, so it was fine even if left unguarded.

Only then did Xiao Chen enter the Marketplace with his mind at ease, ready to stroll around and relax for a day.

He would also buy and try some festive holiday goods, celebrating the new year a day early.

Moshi Market was especially lively today; the main street was a sea of people, bustling with constant traffic.

A minority of the Cultivators still wore the Magic Robes of Mojie Sect disciples, but most were dressed in common clothes.

On the outskirts of the Marketplace, a very small number of shops had already closed their doors, posting red papers with characters for "good fortune" on them.

The remaining shops, however, couldn’t bear to miss out on such a lively opportunity and instead threw open their doors to welcome customers.

Many shops even had employees stationed at their entrances, shouting and hawking their wares to attract customers.
