Chapter 1200
Chapter 1200: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment Chapter 1200: Chapter 660 Blooming Moment Through the Echoes in the Void, Chen Mobai heard the inner joy of the Biyu Wutong Tree.
It was a very pure, joyous emotion, similar to his own, of meeting an old friend.
But Chen Mobai found this quite peculiar.
The Biyu Wutong also had friends?
For thousands of years, it had been arranging the Fire Vein and suppressing spiritual energy on Danxia Mountain, and only those who cultivated at the mountain peak could come into contact with it.
Chen Mobai didn’t need to check his phone to recall who had occupied the mountain peak.
Prior to him was Shi Qing, and before that, the previous headmaster of Red Dawn Institution, Xiao Boxiu, who had already retired to enjoy his later years.
Moreover, as a Golden Core Master, if Xiao Boxiu were to come to Red Sandstone City, he would surely notify Chen Mobai.
The Kaiyuan Hall would also be informed.
The cultivators who had occupied the peak of Danxia Mountain before Xiao Boxiu didn’t need further consideration, as they had all passed away.
So, after thinking back and forth, Chen Mobai quickly locked onto a target…
The former Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard, whom he once executed.
After all, from Lan Haitian, he learned that she had disbanded her mortal form, making it possible for her to return.
However, after Chen Mobai took over the Top of Danxia Mountain, even if the former Master of Flower Bloom Courtyard had recovered to her peak state, it would be impossible for her to infiltrate undetected and communicate with the Biyu Wutong.
Recently, only two people had come here.
Luan Jingsheng and Chansi!
In the midst of thought, Chen Mobai considered the Devour God Technique.
Since both of them were born before Shi Qing was slain, it wasn’t a reincarnation through disbanding the mortal form, but more likely the pre-emptive planting of a God Seed using the Devour God Technique.
So, which of them might be the one who possessed Master Huakai’s body?
With a thought, Chen Mobai already had his phone out, planning to call Lan Haitian to handle the matter.
But then he remembered that Chansi was currently working at his Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman factory, and all her family and close ones were around her.
Even though he wasn’t certain if Chansi was the person Shi Qing had possessed, to be cautious, he decided to detain her first.
However, he couldn’t spook her and needed to think of an excuse to lure her up the mountain to face her fate.
As for Luan Jingsheng, he had recently received notification of employment at a large factory and had left Red Sandstone City. Chen Mobai planned to detain Chansi first, then notify Lan Haitian to use the power of the Immortal Gate to deal with him.
After spending a long time in the Eastern Wilderness, Chen Mobai’s first instinct in such matters was to err on the side of caution, even if it meant to wrongly kill rather than let go.
The Flying Rainbow Ink Talisman Factory!
Chansi, having just joined the factory half a month ago, demonstrated excellent workmanship. Under her command, the process for making Rank-2 Talisman Paper was improved, boosting efficiency by thirty percent.
Tang Panchui, the foreperson, couldn’t praise her enough and, knowing she was alone, often invited her over for meals.
Today, as Chansi was directing the workshop process, she suddenly received a call from Chen Mobai.
Chen Mobai mentioned he had some free time and intended to try drawing the Heavenly Heart Sword Talisman, asking Chansi to bring up the Azure Sky Talisman Paper and Flying Rainbow Ink from the factory’s stock to the mountain.
“This should have been my task.”
Wang Xinying watched Chansi depart with the items, her lips pouting unhappily.
Previously, whenever Chen Mobai required Talisman Paper and Ink, it was she who delivered them to the mountain.
But she was unaware that this trip was more than just a delivery.
“Councilor Chen, here is the Talisman Paper and Ink you requested.”
Chen Mobai looked at the charming Chansi before him, uncertain whether she was indeed Shi Qing.
But after decades of decisive actions in the Eastern Wilderness, he had long fostered a resolute temperament.
“Thank you for making the trip.”
Chen Mobai said with a smile, taking the items from her hands.
As Chansi was about to respond with a polite dismissal of the effort, a five-colored brilliance shot out from the sleeve of the young man in front of her, coiling around her like a spirit snake, trapping her within its confines.
“Councilor Chen, what is this for? Even if you’re a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor, detaining a citizen of the Immortal Gate without reason is against the law. I can report you to the Department of Law Enforcement.”
Chansi’s eyes shone with intelligence, but soon her face displayed an expression of shock and anger, struggling to rise and vehemently protesting.
At this point, Chen Mobai also remembered that this was Immortal Gate territory, where, without evidence, even cultivators from the Department of Law Enforcement couldn’t lay hands on anyone; they could only monitor.
Accustomed to acting with impunity in exterminating sects in the Barren, he had become somewhat lawless.
This habit was bad and needed to be restrained.
While thinking this, Chen Mobai maintained a calm demeanor and attempted to intimidate Chansi, “Detaining a citizen of the Immortal Gate is indeed a crime, but capturing remnants of the Ascension Sect is an act of merit.”
“What are you talking about! I am a retired cultivator from the Military Department; without evidence, your slander will not go unpunished by the Hall of Orthodox Law!”
Chansi, with anger on her face, was not intimidated by Chen Mobai, a Kaiyuan Hall Councilor.
In the Immortal Gate, at least on the surface, equality was staunchly upheld.
“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll see when I notify Lan Haitian to come and take you. You can explain it to him yourself.”
The Sky-Mending Group in the Immortal Gate held a certain level of privilege in dealing with matters of the Ascension Sect.
Lan Haitian surely had methods to determine whether Chansi was indeed possessed by Shi Qing or had a God Seed planted within her.
As Chen Mobai spoke, he took out his phone, ready to dial.
“Wait!”
Chansi suddenly spoke up to stop him. The look of shock and anger vanished from her face, replaced by a frown as she coldly stared at the young man before her, with his pure and exquisite features.
