Jiang Zuo and the others naturally saw the change as well.
Even Demon Cultivator Mo Yan and her group stopped fighting.
The Black-robed Demon Cultivator decisively fled. Those people had actually tried to take his life while he was vulnerable. If he hadn’t been a Tier Four before his death—bah, before his injury—he might have very well t his end here.
Once he recovered, he would return and show Mo Yan the aning of cruelty.
Witch Dan Xue naturally left with the black-robed cultivator. After all, she’d been having a great ti fighting Mo Yan lately.
All in all, she was delighted.
Jiang Zuo looked toward the light and asked, "Is the Holy Land making a big move?"
"It’s the ritual. The light’s appearance ans the location has been chosen. Now co the preparations. All we have to do is wait," Chi Xue Child said, munching on a popsicle.
When Mo Yan was acting like an idiot, she would snatch his ice pops away the mont he started eating one. Now that she was back to normal, he could finally enjoy them in peace.
Jiang Zuo nodded. ’The preparations for the ritual are probably the Saintess and her people’s responsibility. That would explain why Su Qi can’t return.’
However, if Jiang Zuo wasn’t mistaken, that was the exact location of the Immortal Spirit Spring.
’Is it a coincidence?’
’Clearly not. The Immortal Spirit Spring is likely the ritual site.’
Ever since the Ten Thousand Leaves Immortal Spirit appeared from the little shop, Jiang Zuo had suspected this place was connected to the Immortal Spirit Cave Mansion.
Now that the ritual site and the Immortal Spirit Spring overlapped, Jiang Zuo considered his suspicion confird.
’Even so, it’s not necessarily a bad thing for . I just don’t know the layout for the ritual, or if I’ll be able to move around freely with my token.’
’The only problem is that the area might be an extension of an array. I’d likely be detected the mont I entered, and then I’d have to fight again.’
’So I either need to find a way to avoid that entity’s perception or reach so kind of understanding with it.’
With that, Jiang Zuo decided to head back.
On the way back, Mo Yan kept glaring at Liuyue Xue and Chi Xue Child, only to be completely ignored by both of them.
’I am the great Demon Cultivator Mo Yan! If word of this gets out, how can I possibly show my face again?’
At that mont, Blade Master Hai Bian suddenly said, "You know, you could check Witch Dan Xue’s social dia feed. It might make you feel a lot better."
Chi Xue Child froze when he heard that. ’This is a recipe for a sleepless night.’
But before he could stop her, Mo Yan had already pulled it up on her phone.
The mont she saw it, she froze completely.
She suddenly looked incredibly forlorn, as if her entire world had just collapsed.
Now it was Blade Master Hai Bian and the others who were stunned.
They had expected Mo Yan to fly into a murderous rage. No one imagined she would actually be crestfallen. ’She’s not just faking it, is she?’
Before Chi Xue Child and the others could ask, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan transford into a Nightmare and sped away. It seed she was genuinely upset.
Chi Xue Child and the others exchanged glances. "What now?"
Blade Master Hai Bian thought for a mont. "Street stall?"
Chi Xue Child added, "Hot pot?"
Liuyue Xue typed out a single word on her phone: Celebrate?
Blade Master Hai Bian and Chi Xue Child shared a grin. Liuyue Xue remained as cold as ice.
After that, Jiang Zuo parted ways with them. He planned to go ho and level up; he had plenty of ti for Cultivation tonight.
After Jiang Zuo left, Chi Xue Child and the others actually went to a street-side stall for hot pot.
At the table, Blade Master Hai Bian asked, "What do you think Mo Yan went off to do?"
Chi Xue Child said between bites of at, "What else? Go ho, set up a bunch of traps, and then try to kill the three of us."
Blade Master Hai Bian: "..."
However, when they finished their al and returned, they all froze in shock.
The entire villa was engulfed in flas, with Mo Yan standing on the roof. Holding a torch, she yelled down at Chi Xue Child and the others, "Fools! Tremble at the feet of Demon Cultivator Mo Yan! I will restore my glorious na!"
Chi Xue Child retorted irritably, "What glorious na? Your reputation has nothing to do with you. You’re just riding on your master’s coattails.
Besides, do you have any idea how much it’s going to cost to pay for this house?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan shrieked, "I don’t care! I’m a Demon Cultivator! After doing sothing evil, I’m supposed to make a run for it, obviously!"
Chi Xue Child: "..."
Liuyue Xue: "..."
Blade Master Hai Bian showed no reaction. It wasn’t like he had any money to pay for it anyway.
After a mont’s hesitation, Blade Master Hai Bian suddenly said, "I recall this house having an array. To prevent any danger from spreading, a Trapping Array was set up inside. It should be active by now, right?"
Demon Cultivator Mo Yan gave a disdainful smile. ’Forget whether it’s activated or not—even if it is, so what?’
’I, Demon Cultivator Mo Yan, have been a master of arrays since I was a child. I could find the life gate with my eyes closed!’
A long while later...
"Hurry, Chi Xue Child! Co save ! My eyebrows are on fire! Ow, ow, ow, it burns, it burns!"
"I’ll pay for it! I’ll pay for it, okay? Just co save !"
Chi Xue Child and the others were left speechless.
’So what kind of fire did you even use?’

Back ho, Jiang Zuo took out the Moon Lotus Flower and the Profound Iron Wood, then drew a Support Array.
Jiang Zuo chose a particularly good spot, one where the moonlight would be sure to shine in.
The moonlight was plentiful here. Combined with the Moon Lotus Flower, Jiang Zuo felt he could reach level 1.6 tonight.
However, he still had two dicinal solutions to concoct.
’It’s a sha I don’t have a basin,’ he thought. ’I’ve really gotten used to using one lately.’
In the end, Jiang Zuo went to see Boss He, and happened to see Xiaoye as well.
Xiaoye was recovering well, and the mark on her showed no changes. It seed no one had been alerted.
To Boss He, Jiang Zuo was his family’s savior. Forget a basin—he wouldn’t have minded if Jiang Zuo blew up his house again.
After borrowing what he needed, Jiang Zuo went back and began concocting the Spiritual Liquid.
Jiang Zuo finally finished concocting the Spiritual Liquid before sunset. He poured it into the array, then drew the Moonlight from the Moon Lotus Flower and rged it into the array as well.
Now, all Jiang Zuo had to do was wait for the moon.
While he waited, Jiang Zuo went around the villa and carved a Maze Array, a Trapping Array, and a Concealing Array.
Without any Array Stones, carving them was particularly strenuous. It took him until midnight to finish.
When he looked up and saw the bright moon in the sky, Jiang Zuo smiled. The timing was perfect.
After a brief rest, Jiang Zuo began the process of leveling up. He started with the Spiritual Liquid. Since the Moonlight Power would continuously increase as long as the moon was out, it was best to consu it as late as possible.
The Innate Two Qi began to circulate, and Jiang Zuo started leveling up once more.
A long ti passed. Before the sun rose, the Spiritual Liquid had been completely absorbed.
Then, Jiang Zuo began to frantically absorb the Moonlight Power.
The Moonlight Power was intended for the Innate Two Qi first. Only what the Innate Two Qi rejected would be converted and absorbed as Cultivation.
As the Moonlight Power was fully absorbed, it was, as expected, rejected by the Innate Two Qi and began to convert into Cultivation.
Just as the Moonlight Power finished converting into Cultivation, Jiang Zuo once again reached a critical point. He was about to break through.
However, he had already absorbed everything he had prepared. Now, his only option was to circulate the Innate Two Qi and forcibly absorb the surrounding Spiritual Qi to achieve his breakthrough.
But right at that mont, the Elental Army once again slled an opportunity. They appeared once more.
