Chapter 64: Purple Dendrobium Chamber of Commerce
"Th-this is the might of the Heavenly Market Big Dipper Grand Formation!"
"What's happening? Could a Foundation Establishment cultivator be attacking the market?"
The Qi Refining cultivators in Abysswall Market all paled. Some, sensing trouble, even began thinking of fleeing.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Market Big Dipper Grand Formation activated for only an instant before everything quickly returned to normal, indicating that the threat to the market had been eliminated.
Meanwhile, the masked cultivator stared coldly at the carnage inside the cave abode.
Had he not brought the formation's might to bear in time, nearly all the cultivators under his command might have been killed or wounded.
Even so, he had lost three subordinates at the seventh layer of Qi Refining.
"Summon Li Tiansheng." Killing intent ignited in the masked cultivator's eyes.
Without a doubt, the cultivator who had laid the trap had already been gone from the market for some time.
If he wanted to hunt Chen Sheng down now, he would have to gather traces of his aura before he could perform the Thousand-Li Soul Lock.
An incense stick's worth of time later, Li Tiansheng opened his eyes, his expression helpless.
"The aura traces in this cave abode have already been disrupted by the formation's might and the ice blade talismans. They're scattered, disordered, and barely perceptible. There truly is nothing I can do."
At this, the masked cultivator's gaze shifted slightly, and he looked toward the Myriad Arts Pavilion.
The culprit had escaped, but someone would have to take the blame for these losses, or he would have no way to answer to the Shen Household.
An unnamed mountain range, a crude cave abode.
Chen Beiwu stared fixedly at the ten Spirit Stones on the table.
"Woof?"
