This year was Chen Mobai's sixtieth birthday.
Before heading to the Eastern Wasteland Plateau, he made a special trip back to the Immortal Sect, because many relatives and friends had sent messages to congratulate him.
On the Immortal Sect's side, they still attached quite some importance to a sixtieth-birthday banquet. Originally, according to Tang Pancui's wishes, it was to be held in grand style, but Chen Mobai was low-key by nature, and merely called over his relatives for a simple family meal.
After eating with his family, Chen Mobai gathered with friends such as Yan Bingxuan for another meal.
Unfortunately, many people's attitudes toward him were far too respectful.
This made a sense of loneliness and desolation well up in Chen Mobai.
After the gathering, he and Yan Bingxuan, the only one he could still get along with normally, had a late-night snack, and he voiced the emotion in his heart that close friends were becoming fewer and fewer.
Early the next morning, after Chen Mobai called Qing Nü and the other friends who could not come one by one, he returned to Giant Wood Ridge.
In Zhou Shengqing's Longevity Wood Dao Field, he brewed tea with an unhurried bearing and poured cups for Chen Mobai, Mo Douguang, and Fu Zongjue.
"Junior Brother Mo, return to Golden Light Cliff tomorrow. It would be best if you made some commotion when you went back, so people know."
Mo Douguang was now the Eastern Wasteland's number one Core Formation Cultivator on the surface, and he was also a Sword Cultivator with mighty battle strength. He was the person the Divine Wood Sect's opponents feared the most.
If Xuanxiao Dao Palace wanted to kill Chen Mobai, they would definitely confirm his whereabouts to avoid suddenly running into him when they made their move.
